A Relationship With Your Ex, Good or Bad Idea

It’s hard being single for the holidays, but it seems the hardest time to be alone is Valentine’s Day. That’s usually the time most people start rethinking if they should have broken up with their partner and if they should take them back. Is trying to go back to a relationship with your ex really a good idea?

Let me just say, instead of thinking about how you can get your ex back, you might want to remember why they are an ex.

If they cheated on you before, chances are really good they will cheat again. Was the relationship abusive, either physically or mentally, it won’t change? Time doesn’t really heal all wounds, it just sometimes makes us forget just how bad it hurt because we are lonely.

Often people will remember only the good times but you have to also remember why the relationship didn’t work.

Do you want to be in a relationship, no matter how bad, just so you have someone in your life? Will you take back your ex just because you don’t want to be alone? Sadly, that seems to be two of the main reasons I hear all the time from people, especially around Valentine’s Day.

What if Money Were No Object?

Alan Watts, the philosopher of the 60s and 70s explains, in a short and beautiful way, what you can become or what you can do if money were no object.

But even more importantly how to live life with freedom from the constraints that society places on us.

Watts, who died in 1973, helped explain Eastern philosophy and approaches to life and being in a way that Westerners like me can understand.

His work endures today in his writings and videos that his son, Mark Watts, has preserved and shares with the world.

Better than “The Secret” this video is perfect for people who can take 10 minute break from there life and listen to Watt’s three minute talk on the subject and the incredible meditational music played by Niraj Naik.

Career Indicators in the Horoscope

career

Astrology has many uses and can answer most any question one may have. One area of life that astrology can be quite helpful is gaining insight into what your chart shows you have an aptitude for career wise.

Most of my readings tend to involve questions about relationships. However, I have seen more and more people who want to know what their chart has to say about career.

Some just want to know when they will get a job, others want to know something deeper – what type of profession they should pursue.

I have gotten this question from young people who are in their second or third year of college and feel what they thought they wanted to do is not necessarily as fulfilling as they dreamed. Others are those in mid life or who have raised children and now want to focus on what their purpose may be.

Six Question Relationship Check Up

It’s the beginning of another year and a time when many people are taking stock of their fitness, the health of their bodies, and pocketbook.

While it might seem more confusing or daunting to give our relationship a check-up than it is to get a check-up at the doctor’s office, checking in and assessing the health of a bond is just as important and it doesn’t have to be difficult.

Here are a few questions to help determine if your relationship needs some extra TLC or if emergency care is needed.

Is give and take in balance in my relationship? 

An imbalance of give and take in a relationship means that one partner often takes on the role of the giver who doesn’t get anything in return and the other person takes on the role of the taker who doesn’t give back.

Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius — January 2015

Mercury Retrograde

Just after the sun goes into Aquarius right on a New Moon on January 20, 2015 we are visited again (on the 21st) by that pesky little thing known as Mercury turning retrograde.

This time it is in Aquarius which is the sign of geniuses as that lightening quick energy of Uranus (Aquarius’ ruling planet) mingles with Mercury (planet of communication).

You can imagine many things can go wrong with the combination of Mercury retrograde in Aquarius and you are not far off the mark there.

Be prepared for thoughts just hitting you out of nowhere and then be prepared for feeling frustrated in not being able to follow them up.

You might also want to give some thought to electrical gadgets going haywire and making sure that everything is in tip top shape so no further damage can be done.

Personally, I like the sound of Mercury retrograde in Aquarius. It should bring out some plans that are about your future, allow you to see things from different angles that you may not usually take into consideration and also not keep you as heavily bound down as some of the other signs Mercury could’ve turned retrograde in.

Mastering the Art of Manifestation

Did you know that the greatest gift you have been given is your imagination?

Everything that now exists was once imagined or thought of.

In this  hour long video, Dr. Wayne Dyer explains that Law of Attraction is just a fragment of the puzzle, that the real secret is connecting to that quiet place, that place of space where everything is possible.

It may sound hard to do but it isn’t. I recently stayed up to watch one of Dr. Wayne Dyers talks on Youtube.

This talk, “Mastering the Art of Manifesting” was from his Wanderlust Festival Speakeasy appearance in Squaw Valley 2012. The Youtube video was posted a year later.

Dr. Dyer is now 74-years old and has conquered leukemia with Brickman yoga and healings from John of God.

Healing Your Relationship with Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is a pink quartz crystal that resonates with the energy of love.

It is no wonder that it is known as the Love Stone as its energy is profoundly effective in attracting new love, intimacy and romance.

This soft essence of this crystal is also symbolic of peace and calm energy. Thought to have been used as a love stone as far back in history as 600 B.C, the properties of this gemstone are also very effective at healing personal relationships.

The soft soothing energy of this crystal will resonate out into your entire aura.

Like all crystals it is a profound amplifier of energy. Because Rose Quartz is a heart chakra stone, its energy aligns with the heart area. With a sublime and balancing energy it can also assist in physical problems.

Unlocking and Developing Your Psychic Talents

psychic talents

Everyone possesses clairvoyant skills, including you. Your skills must be reawakened through efforts of learning/study, practice and exercise.

While some seem to show and use their skills at a younger age, it is simply because they are remembering their skills from past lives sooner, acknowledging them and putting them to use.

Just like any other sense you are born with, if you do not use it, you will loose it.

The more you practice/exercise your skills the sharper they become and the more easily accessed.

How exciting to know your psychic skills and abilities are already there! You must just open yourself up to them and begin to explore what ‘tool’ draws you to be able to tap into your ability.

I was taught long ago to find what you feel best at and hone your skill there. That does not mean you cannot use or develop several methods; but everyone finds what tool they prefer best and that seems to be the ‘key’ which unlocks their psychic abilities.

Attract Anything with a Wishing Bundle

wishing

True mystics know that the “law of attraction”, which became so popular with the DVD “The Secret” has been practiced for centuries.

The “law of attraction” is just a scientific way for doing what ancient sages called “magic.”

The movie, “The Secret,” discusses how to manifest things in your life by using a vision board. However, in the old days, and even now, wise women and men create a  wishing bundle to help them manifest their desires.

The bundle has the same concept as a vision board, but can be even more powerful because it requires you put a bit more effort into it. The tradition of making a wishing bundle is hundreds of years old. All you have to do is gather items associated with your wish.

Astrologers Do It With Heavenly Bodies

heavenly bodies

When it comes to astrology, most people know a little about the 12 different signs of the zodiac, even if they don’t “believe” in them.

This is generally tied to Sun sign astrology, which represents only a tiny portion of what astrology really is. But there’s so much more to astrology than Sun signs, just as there’s so much more to our solar system than the Sun.

Astrologers look at all of the planets — as well as the Sun and Moon — when interpreting a natal chart. Each of those planets is looked at in the context of the sign its placed in at birth, as well as its house position and relationships with other planets.

But for the purposes of this article, we’re going to be looking at only the planets (which also, for the purposes of this article, will include the Sun and Moon). The Sun and Moon are referred to as luminaries in astrology and are treated as planets. They’re certainly as important (usually more important) than the other nine bodies.

In the coming weeks, we’ll look at signs and houses too, which from an astrological perspective can tell you a great deal about not only who you are, but where you came from and where you’re heading.
There’s naturally a lot more to astrology than this. But with that in mind, let’s look at what each of the planets can tell you about you and your loved ones.

How to Love Your Man so He Won’t Pull Away

love your man

You may be in a relationship that just started a couple of months ago and you suddenly feel your partner is pulling away.

What can you do to keep him from drifting and get him to actually fall in love with you?

There are first a few factors to consider.

The relationship could have been purely based on chemistry and the sexual attraction is just not there anymore. Ask yourself if this guy really does it for you and if you should continue with the relationship.

He could be emotionally immature and not have enough experiences in relationships to understand how to make a relationship a success. Or he may not be that into you, he has discovered you don’t have that much in common, and you need to move on.
