			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Aquarius.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-530" title="Aquarius" src="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Aquarius-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Dragon New Moon in Aquarius- Jan. 22/23, 2012</p>
<p> This is a powerful time.  This moon is pushing us to experience the beautiful in our lives, in the world around us and in ourselves.  It is time to create different ways of being, as our dear planet Earth ascends into the fourth and fifth dimensions and away from Greedy 3-D reality.  We can no longer DO the Greedy 3-D, it hurts!</p>
<p>So, we must let go.  This does not mean wipe our slates clean of those people, places and things around us.  Though many are choosing to do this at this time because letting go of anything or anyone that dis-empowers us is mandatory this year.  Yet, this is only a choice.  There are no bad choices only better ones and each choice is an individual choice.  Be an individual.  Take responsibility for yourself and your choices.</p>
<p>We are challenged to stay in the NOW, slow down and enjoy our lives once more.  It is time to find our true passion and LIVE IT!  The time/space reality of the Greedy 3-D has shifted.  We no longer have the same amount of <strong>time</strong> in a day.  If we turn off our cell phones and experiment with our telepathy,<strong> space </strong>takes on new meaning as we discover we are all connected no matter where we live in the world.</p>
<p>We are challenged to LIVE the truth and reality of the Fifth Dimension NOW!</p>
<p>What does this mean?  Stop struggling and trying to fit the Greedy 3-D reality into the 4th and 5th dimensions of reality that we are living in now!   Move past the Greedy 3rd-Dimension.</p>
<p>The truth and reality of the upper 4th dimension, and our final destination in the 5th dimension of reality, is explained in depth by Echart Tolle in THE POWER OF NOW.</p>
<p>The Year of the Dragon is all about POWER.  How do we use our own personal power?  How are the institutions around us, who say they are in our service, using their power to do so?  What are we seeing in our world?  The dismantling of abusive power?  So, there it is.  We can use our amazing power for good or not?  What is your choice?  This is what this year holds for us.  We will see in our own lives where our own power struggles induce change within us and around us. </p>
<p>These are growing pains, no more than that.  We are birthing a new world.  This is an exciting adventure.  Flow with it.  Let go.  Embrace change.  Be a light for others to see thru their darkness into their light.  Duality has been a reality of the  Greedy 3-D.  We have suppressed our darkness instead of embracing it and loving it and using it in constructive ways for good.  Our inner power is Plutonic.  This means it is dark and powerful yet it has been seen by our society as unacceptable.</p>
<p>I do not mean anything that hurts anyone else, ourselves, or any other being on our dear Mother Earth including Herself.  I mean make the subconscious and unconscious desires within us CONSCIOUS!  How do we do this?  Take the time to get to know ourselves and peel our own onions of past life Karma brought into this life and unresolved childhood issues. </p>
<p>Laugh your way through this year and notice your feelings, knowings, the things you hear and see.  Stay in gratitude no matter what!  This is just the beginning not the end!</p>
<p>Have a blast!  Enjoy the ride!  Act up not out!  Misbehave!  Be Outrageous!  Embrace the BEAUTIFUL in yourselves and others and in everything on/in and around our dear green jewel of a planet.  Let yourselves get amazing ideas for new ways of being in this world then demonstrate them to those around you!!!!</p>
<p><strong>2012 is a year of POWER!  How will you use your personal POWER???</strong></p>
<p><strong>PS Because we are being challenged by certain astological aspects for the next few months, I suggest you look into non-violent communication if directly afflicted.  You will know because your anger will become explosive or those around you may explode on you.</strong></p>

<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><strong>2012 Full Moon in Cancer- January 8-9</strong></p>
<p>Moon in Cancer is a self nurturing time.  A slow down and take care of yourself time.  A brilliant reconnection to nature time.  A great time to focus on family, pets and your home and make a sanctuary for all your loved ones including and most importantly &#8230;you!</p>
<p> Cancer Moon helps us focus on the importance of water.  Water is the key to all life on our shimmering blue/green jewel of a planet.  Water is nourishing, fluid, intuitive, and calming.  Water is the strongest element because it yields with non-resistance and therefore cannot be overwhelmed.  Water just finds another pathway when it hits a wall.  Water never loses its ability to nurture and create life.  Life lives within Water.  Let us all send our prayers of renewal to Water at this special time of the Full Moon in Cancer.</p>
<p>We are all heading into amazing territory of 2012 yet there is a learning curve here, because our thoughts, feelings and words appear in our reality sooner now.  So, it is a good time to reflect on what you WANT to see in your world!</p>
<p><strong>Focus on Beauty.  Be grateful.  Slow down and make self-care a priority this year.</strong></p>
<p>Blessing to you all for a JUICY 2012!!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SquirrelHole_EN-US1543946976.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-510" title="SquirrelHole_EN-US1543946976" src="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SquirrelHole_EN-US1543946976-300x160.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="160" /></a>This is actually a cozy time to gather some essential information about ourselves before we move out of this tight spot and ZOOM ahead into a new frontier! A new WORLD!  BRING IT ON!!!</p>
<p>We are in the choice point or HOTPOINT as I call it!  A really juicy time for releasing all the people, places, things, past situations and trauma that are holding us back from stepping into our full potential, our full power. </p>
<p>First, we had the amazing influx of feminine energy pour onto the planet forcing us all to balance out right and left hemispheres of our brains and address any and all hormonal imbalances that we may have amassed.  Because, as we all know, a healthy hormonal system is the key to these times of mass transformation.  The energy is so high now and will only get more intense and juicy as we travel into the NOW!!!!</p>
<p>So, what are you eating?  Is it laced with hormones that are incompatible to your energetic vibration?  What are you thinking?  Cynical and critical thinking hurts, doesn&#8217;t it?  Blame hurts, doesn&#8217;t it? Pointing the finger at someone else hurts, doesn&#8217;t it?  Are you walking the middle path?  Do you even know what the middle path is?  Are you grounded?  What tools do you need for grounding?  And most importantly: what are you feeling???  Are you staying in the NOW?</p>
<p>Are you in appreciation?  Are you grateful?  Are you watching yourself, with detachment, go through your antics so you can identify and release them?  Do you understand that your biggest issues are up to be looked at and released?  Are you laughing at yourself yet??</p>
<p>ARE YOU TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR CREATIONS YET???  It is time to release, regenerate and celebrate!!!!  Merry, Merry to us all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Full-Moon-001.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-491" title="Full Moon 001" src="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Full-Moon-001-217x300.jpg" alt="" width="217" height="300" /></a> </p>
<p>Early Retrograde for Many</p>
<p>This is a power-packed month of change, change , CHANGE.  Transitions, whether we see them as good for us or bad for us, are just change.  Some do well in this energy.  Some flow and are energized especially if they are well positioned: meaning willingly have gone though massive changes earlier so that heart, mind and body are now grounded in Spirit.</p>
<p>This is not some unrealistic, New Age, mumbo jumbo type rhetoric.  I am speaking here of preparation for the astrological energies bombarding the planet at this time<span style="text-decoration: underline;">.  Are you prepared?  Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually prepared?</span></p>
<p>We are all in this together.  This earth dance.  Anyone can see the widespread changes crossing the globe, the unrest, the rebellion, the angry resentful feelings of repression, environmental and economic collapse. </p>
<p>Globally, it&#8217;s time to act!  Problem solve.  Move into a sustainable NOW, now! We are seeing this excitement everywhere.</p>
<p>Personally, if we are not grounded in Spirit it can be a time to act out!  Yep, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening in many relationships during this emotionally intense month of Scorpio.   The unsaid or unspoken rises to the surface for release and those who are not prepared to feel their feelings run, act out, or hide.  Others, who have trouble speaking up develop thyroid problems.  Issues around the throat.</p>
<p>These are all growing pains.  Yet, it is time to learn through joy instead of pain.  That way of being in the world, that lifestyle, lived through passed down behavior, inherited wounding, indecision, poverty, depression, addictions and constant physical pain is just plain crazy making now.  For many of us, that way of living on this planet is over.  We have chosen to be responsible for ourselves and our behavior.   Many of us have chosen The Path of Joy! After all, it comes down to CHOICE and there is no right or wrong choice just BETTER choices!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong. Nobody is perfect.  We all are flawed yet that does not preclude happiness and joy. There is so much to do. One lifetime is just not enough time. So why not choose to live a healthy lifestyle, inward and outward, and live longer to realize all your dreams? The Path of Joy includes a willingness to  learn something new at any age.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t this world be a pristine jewel of a planet if everyone could learn through joy, practice harmlessness, and honor themselves and every other being, including the planet Herself, as sacred?</p>

<p>September 27th, 2011 is a new moon and a supermoon.   Supermoons are special because not only do the Moon, Earth and Sun line up exactly, also the moon comes the closest to the earth.  These are volatile times where the extra energy pulls on the ocean tides and our human feelings. </p>
<p>Supermoons accelerate karma.  We must be diligent at these points to choose our words wisely because the karmic power of our thought and intentions can actualize.</p>
<p>Why are there so many supermoons this year and more acomin?  Solar and galactic cycles are growing in intensity.  They are portents of greater solar storms and increased galactic radiation.  These events peak in 2012 and 2013 to drive the riots of super-consciousness onward and shift this world to its core.</p>
<p>Why now?  We are going to destroy our planet if we don&#8217;t have a mass awakening.  Our technology has grown to the point that it interferes with the communication between every living cell on Mother Earth.</p>
<p>These are powerful, radical, revolutionary and evolutionary times ushered in by Supermoons.  Let&#8217;s be willing to settle our karmic and practical accounts so we can reap an autumnal harvest.</p>
<p>Happy Autumnal Equinox!!!</p>

<div id="attachment_350" class='wp-caption alignleft' style='width:300px;'><a href="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/PICT0137.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-350" title="PICT0137 Re-Seeding Our Earth" src="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/PICT0137-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class='wp-caption-text'>Re-Seeding Our Earth</p></div>
</div>
<p>By now we all know that our world is fragile and precious.  In this millenium, we are not just fighting the destruction of nature but the destruction of meaning. Any artist will tell you that their inspiration comes predominately from nature. The beauty of our natural world is the ultimate inspiration for most because we are, all of us, artists of some kind.</p>
<p>It is time to rethink our lives once more before the June Triple Eclipse Cycle does it for us.  Eclipses can be felt three months before they land and the effects and circumstances surrounding any given Solar eclipse can last up to a year. Lunar eclipses are less potent and can be felt for three more months. Solar eclipses are like extra powerful super-moons that draw new circumstances into our lives. Lunar eclipses cleanse and take unnecessary things away.</p>
<p>This June eclipse cycle moves in as we celebrate three powerful full super-moons. The Christ Full Moon initiated on April 18th, 2011 where we honored the Christ within us and all Creation. The Full Moon Wesak  initiates on May 17, 2011 which is Buddha&#8217;s birthday and honors the God in all of us and all Creation. The Goodwill/World Invocation Day Full Moon initiates on June 16, 2011 honoring spiritual unity in humanity. This last super-moon is embedded in the triple eclipse cycle further empowering great changes.</p>
<p>The elements of fire, water, air and earth are raging. Some of this is due to the spectacular energies of this millinium that are moving our world, humanity, and all other kingdoms of beings found here, to raise and balance our consciousness into oneness.  What does that mean? Simplify now!Think about our priorities. What moves and inspires us? What do we really need on this journey? Who do we need? Why?</p>
<p>We can think of this millenium  as a great adventure. Never before has so much been offered to so many. You may see only loss if you are glued to the television screen,  computer monitor, cell phone, iPhone or blackberry. Yet, if you walk in nature alone, without your ear buds, you can hear a massive destiny roaring the future into being. Take time to listen. Take time to be in tune with the One who is really calling the shots, even though we all know some of these earth movements and disasters are man-made manipulations. In the end, the great being that can shake us all off at a moment&#8217;s notice, can be a friend or foe. We can either co-habitate in harmony and Oneness or continue to be tossed around by Her elements, Her warriors of the Spirit.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s Re-seed the Earth with our thoughts, our actions, our children and our love.</p>

<p>There has been a big shift in the Lunar Nodes for the world.  We have stepped out of Capricorn/Cancer into Sagittarius/Gemini.  This is a cosmic Valentine as today, February 14, reflects true love.  We can see the immediate results of this great love in Egypt.  The world has been watching and praying for justice in this ancient land and an amazing gift through social media and a courageous Google employee drove home freedom for Egypt!!!  </p>
<p>In ancient times today was St. Valentine&#8217;s Day.  It was more aligned with service and giving of one&#8217;s self NOT one&#8217;s cash!!!  Let&#8217;s face it, this day has morphed into a huge spendy day and many are disappointed if they are not lavished with gifts and attention.  Many others think spending money on someone is the only way to express their love.  Spending money needlessly to prove one&#8217;s love for another is no longer sustainable on any day.  Hey, being rich is awesome, yet let&#8217;s be mindful of HOW we express our love.  Is it unconditional?  Or are we expecting something in return for laying out all this dough???  And who really needs a gift?  Some have so much while others have to scrounge for the basics.  Those people seem the most generous to me, those who have nothing to give but their love!!!!  That is the true meaning of Valentine&#8217;s day, to give from your heart!!!</p>
<p>Back to the Cosmic Valentine, a sustainable and precious gift from the Universal  Mind!   The lunar nodes symbolize the pathway of return to our cosmic origins.  In other words, these placements in our astrological chart, move us forward on our evolutionary path if we can flow with them instead of resisting their promptings.  The transiting north node represents the collective spiritual frontier and the transiting south node, the release point for personal refinement.  So, these points are very important to our emotional, mental and spiritual growth.  We are moving out of the North Node in Capricorn which was a call to develop self-reliance and discipline. We learned or were pushed to reclaim our power and be mature, responsible adults with healthy boundaries.   The South Node in Cancer pushed us to release our codependency issues, martyrdom, and destructive attachments to our family, ethic group or nation.   On a personal level, this was not easy for most of us as it is easier in today&#8217;s society to be distracted from this purpose by:</p>
<ul>
<li>food,</li>
<li>shopping,</li>
<li> the internet,</li>
<li> texting,</li>
<li>television,</li>
<li>gambling,</li>
<li>extreme sports,</li>
<li>drinking,</li>
<li>smoking</li>
<li> drugs of all kinds including prescriptions for any kind of emotional or physical pain which is really a result of abuse of one or many of the above!</li>
</ul>
<p>We understand these as addictions. If we used any of these to distract ourselves from moving along our personal path, life will only get harder and more ferocious in the coming years.  These are only a list of the most basic addictions. Many more subtle addictions can be used to avoid moving ahead to emotional, mental and spiritual maturity.</p>
<p><strong>Now, as the Lunar Nodes move into Sagittarius/Gemini we are being offered a push into emotional, mental and spiritual MASTERY!   Are you ready????  This is THE ride of a LIFETIME!!!!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/We-celebrate-Brighed-on-Imbolic-001.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-340" title="We celebrate Brighed on Imbolic! 001" src="http://amusinglight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/We-celebrate-Brighed-on-Imbolic-001-217x300.jpg" alt="" width="217" height="300" /></a> Here we are on the new moon in Aquarius cycle celebrating Imbolc / Candlemas and the Chinese New Year of the metal rabbit!!!  Wow, lot&#8217;s going down.  This is a powerful time, we have just entered, where consciousness will move forward every 20 days if we allow it.  This means we all need to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Slow down our personal lives and work lives. </li>
<li>Listen more than we talk.</li>
<li>Take time for ourselves whenever possible.</li>
<li>Firm up personal boundaries.</li>
<li>Learn the ancient art of timelessness.</li>
</ul>
<p>As far as our personal lives go, we are entering a sweet year for finding that perfect someone or strengthening the bond we already have in our love relationships or marriages.  All this is accomplished through gentleness, sweetness, allowing, listening, honesty and simplicity. </p>
<p>On the world scene, things look wild and anger is rising when inequity is the law of the land.  Watch Egypt, they are leading. </p>
<p>Justice, compassion and peace are stoking the triple fire of revolution in our relationships, in the work place, in our towns, cities and all countries on our green/blue garden planet home.</p>
<p>The revolution is green as well!  For our planet and all her creatures, including us, are not only crying out for change now, every being including the earth itself, is acting out, dropping out, figuring it out, taking action!!!!  The energetic fires are burning brighter as we cross further into this year.</p>
<p>For those who think there is not enough time in a day to get anything done, I have a suggestion.  A little tip for now and the upcoming times is learning and mastering the ancient art of timelessness.  Sit quietly and imagine yourself inside a giant, shimmering crystal of swirling energy.  Breathe deeply and affirm that you are in the flow of abundance NOW!  This can be a short, few, quiet minutes stolen at your desk at work, or on an escape to the restroom during a stressful meeting, a needed pause during housework, in the parked car or when you are stuck in traffic, even during a fight you can wrap yourself and the other in this shimmering crystalline energy and breathe through it to achieve a win/win outcome.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s flow with the incredible leaps in consciousness now available if we become peaceful, gentle, loving beings who appreciate the earth and her creatures.</p>
<p>Love your life, appreciate every moment and laugh and love as much as you can every minute of every day.   Always ask yourself &#8216;what would love do?&#8217;, when faced with a challenge.  Choose love.  Be Love!!</p>

<p>The amazing transits, configurations, aspects, T-squares and movement of signs and planets are historic this year.  We are entering into uncharted territory which has been pondered about for the last decade.</p>
<p>On October 11, 2010, as the full Super-moon approached, my crazy Aquarian lover took me on a 6 mile hike up Westfork in Sedona that included crossing Oak Creek 10 times.  There was no snow on the ground yet and the leaves were astounding golds, pinks, reds and browns.  I was enchanted, it was a fairyland.  Yet, I am not a great hiker like my lover.  I prayed each time I had to cross a creek and was successful until I saw what I can only describe as an orb.  Then I fell!  I was forced to convalesce and be still for weeks.  Pulled muscle.  I quickly realized that we had just passes through the 10:10 spiritual gateway.  I perked up immediately because I was in the right position, you see:  propped up in a chair gazing out the window!  So, I used this sacred time to vision.  Something I suggest for everyone at this time.</p>
<p>Visioning is a cross between meditation and vision questing without the physical traveling!  You can do this in your favorite armchair with your feet up.  I vision with light harp music in the background because I find music helps me manifest more easily.  Basically, when you vision you are imagining what you want, your goals so to speak, yet you not only see them, you feel them, taste them, hear them and in my case sing them!!  This is a way of manifesting quickly and easily yet you must be very clear in your mind about the things you want and set aside anywhere from 7  to 17 minutes.</p>
<p>I believe we have entered accelerated energy where thoughts manifest more and more quickly.  Many groups of like-minded people are forming all over the world to vision a peaceful, abundant, prosperous now for every being on this amazing green/blue jewel of a planet we are privileged to live upon.  You can always add this vision to your own personal visions for 2011.</p>
<p>To stay in the positive energy of the now you must ask yourself-  Are you being pushed by pain or pulled by vision?  Do you know how to connect with Spirit?  Do you make time in every day to do this?  You may be asking yourself why this is important? Why make this a priority?  It is simple, we are entering a time where muscling to get something or somewhere will not and does not work.  We are moving into alignment with Divine consciousness and that means that everything we know must change.  We must be open to newer and better ways of doing things.  Astrological doorways are opening to help us manifest more easily for good.  So do good, look good, feel good!!!!  That is my mantra for 2011!  Vision it now!</p>

<p>It is time to raise our sights and expect more.  This monumental event, coming to your town everywhere in the world, is here to raise the bar on Planet Earth.  Hidden in a Mercury Retrograde, which forces us to move more slowly, wait on big decisions, speak in fewer words so we are not misunderstood and review our work, it packs a powerful kick in the butt!</p>
<p>If we use silence, meditation or nature walks, we can connect to a higher vibration where we are always angelically protected.   Then we can embrace patience this month so we get the inner directives we need to move forward in new profound and powerful ways in 2011.  We are crossing over into something new as a collective: that means all beings on Planet Earth.  So watching and communing with animals at this time can be very potent angelic foreshadowing of things to come.  <strong>We are about to reshape relationships of all kinds to every one&#8217;s benefit.</strong></p>
<p>Many sensitive souls are experiencing fatigue, restlessness , unfocused behavior and sleeplessness.  New energy has been pouring onto the planet since an energetic gateway opening in October. We are acclimating ourselves and are poised for an unprecedented 2011.</p>
<p>Here are some useful and practical tips for this month:</p>
<ul>
<li>Slow down</li>
<li>Try meditation, traditional or active such as Tai Chi or yoga</li>
<li>Walk in nature</li>
<li>Dance, sing, do art of some kind</li>
<li>Be open to magical opportunities</li>
<li>Try to stay heart centered</li>
<li>Laugh alot and have fun</li>
<li>Simplify</li>
<li>Be open to dietary changes</li>
<li>Be honest with yourself and others</li>
<li>Give of yourself</li>
<li>Surround yourself with beauty</li>
<li>Listen to peaceful music</li>
<li>Nurture yourself and others</li>
<li>Listen to yourself</li>
<li>Cook</li>
<li>Sit and rub your knees slowly to stay grounded and centered in yourself</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a magical and unpredictable time so honor it, yourself and others by slowing down and listening.  Instead of trying to be heard, be of service to others in need.  You are powerful.  Own it now!</p>
<p>Just a few words on the the 333 imbedded in this date: Patience is the keyword. This is a Master vibration.  It time to finish up our healing processes and  stand in our full power together as an advanced community on Planet Earth.  It is time to Master ourselves so we can be the change we are waiting for! Angelic help is available now in a HUGE way. Tap in! Let&#8217;s join the Cosmic Community. They are waiting patiently for us!</p>
