Greetings, Luminous One, and Happy Eclipse! If you remember from May’s Infinity Circle, one of the most important astrological events of the year is the Total Lunar Eclipse that occurs today primarily in the southern hemisphere. (The effects will last much longer, of course.) Between the closeness of this super-Moon and Venus’s open heart, you can expect emotions to be running high. Scorpio also figures in this 90-minute event with its themes of power and control (and possible disclosure of long-held secrets). “None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have faith” a popular quote by Paulo Coelho comes to mind as I started writing this blog. In a recent, fascinating chat between two people I admire very much, Dowser Rory Duff and Astrologer Pam Gregory, Rory refers to the galactic "sheet" that's been moving through the cosmos and enveloping us right now, something I learned about from another name back in 2012 (see image above). Periodic bursts from the galactic center happen roughly every 12,000 years and cause huge shifts in evolution as evidenced in geology and ice cores. These cycles might also explain the "Yugas" from Hindu cosmology.

Well, this is one heck of a month to be alive, as we learned during a powerful Infinity Circle last Monday!  If you weren't able to attend, I highly recommend that you watch/listen to the replay to grasp the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities of this week and month. (Click HERE to access.) If ever there was a  week to be contemplating our Spiritual Strength, it's this one. This month, there are several important astrological events to look forward to, but the one we've been highly anticipating is on April 12th when the most spiritual planet, Neptune, will be at home in the most spiritual sign, Pisces, and will be further augmented and magnified by Jupiter, which rules Pisces. Venus, also in Pisces, adds a beautiful feminine quality to this momentous alignment, all of which provides us with the potential for a huge spiritual leap that hasn't been available to this degree for 166 years.

I use "luminous" because that was how Mother Mary repeatedly described us in a recent channeling - after a month of focusing on the Light, I guess we MUST be luminous! Now we're going to switch gears to the attribute of Inner Strength, and discover how we can cultivate it physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, not necessarily in that order.  It's an understatement to say that we're in great need of Strength these days; navigating the turbulent waters  of our current lives can be confusing and exhausting if we don't have a rudder and a place to anchor. Inner Strength steers the ship and brings us into safe harbor.

Hello, Bright Being! We're into our last week of Light exploration - I hope you've enjoyed the month so far. I've been grateful to pay better attention to Light, thanks to the daily solar practices that energetically set me up for an inspired day ahead.  I've also learned a lot about the new Light from our weekly etheric visitors during our Monday meditations... it seems the Ahmmad have prepared us for a whole host of other brilliant souls who are now visiting to continue our education and upgrading. Last week, a deep-voiced being gave us an experience of this new Light as a radiant bubble surrounding each of us - I didn't want to come out of that one!

Hello, Bright Being, and Happy Equinox! Wow - there's so much coming in right now about the increase of Light that this week we're going to put our attention on Brightness. Jorge said the Brightness of the Soul brings Centeredness, Justice and Harmony. I would agree! We had a taste of that during last Monday's Meditation when we were visited by a new, unnamed high being, who delivered an incredible infusion of the "new" Light into our bodies. Our unseen friend described this Light as "so white it was almost blue." It was a stunning experience that you won't want to miss - you can find the replay HERE.

This beautiful music instilled in me a sense of almost otherworldliness…of lightness; of sounds flowing up and out into the universe. I felt a sense of calm, quiet, gratitude, and peacefulness. It was uplifting. The painting shows a flower that has cracked open and light is pouring out of it. There is an inner seed that is in the center that will one day open and blossom. Like the seed, I hope this painting will inspire people to dream, create, grow, have hope, and take risks. There is so much beauty in the world

As we wind up our February bridge building, we'll be focusing on our relationships with the Sacred Elements: Fire, Air, Earth and Water. These relationships can be the most taken for granted and yet they hugely influence our lives, from our physical health to our spiritual well-being. For instance, someone with a weak relationship to Water can be dehydrated and/or somehow blocked emotionally and/or not flowing mentally or spiritually. You can see how impactful this might be on other relationships! 

Last week we built bridges to our relationships with Others, the people in our lives. I really hope that went well for you. 🙂 This week, we'll be concentrating on building bridges to our relationships with our Work in the World. What does that mean? It means checking in to be sure that what you came here to do is what you're doing. Gulp. If you know what that is and are actively engaged with it, then great! But for many, that isn't the case, especially now when the pandemic has pushed many to reassess quality of life, spurring them to leave jobs to seek work that better suits them. It's not surprising then that the two most common questions during my coaching sessions are: what is my purpose and how can I gift it to the world?

Did you know that most of the world's languages use some version of "mama" as their word for mother? Apparently, it has to do with the "mmm" murmurings of the infant during feeding, which associates "mama" with food, but we know that mothering goes far beyond mere nutritional sustenance. Mothering is nurturing, in whatever form it takes, whether it be from a friend, relative, Gaia, pet or even child, we can all recall times that we have been "fed" by the love of others. To quote Carolyn Bergen's article, "mothering is an attitude," and not about biology.

I trust you found many things to be grateful for last week! I certainly did - and it was easy because there was an abundance of love and vittles! But what happens when life gets really hard? Tough times present the biggest challenge when it comes to sustaining a grateful orientation to life.

IAs you probably know by now, this month's theme is Spread Infinite Gratitude, not only because we Americans celebrate Thanksgiving later this month, but primarily because Abundance (October's focus) and Gratitude go hand-in-hand. As Eckhart Tolle so eloquently put it:
