Why Won’t He Change?

Why Won't He Change?

This is a question I get asked on an almost daily basis, particularly from clients who are unhappy with the lack of affection, emotional expression or reassurance that they’re getting from their relationship partners.

But maybe a better question would be “why did he change in the first place?”

In most cases, the relationship started out on a good note, with the love interest pursuing ardently and the client expressing no doubts or concerns about his level of interest. And then over time, something changed. Or more specifically he changed.

Of course when that happens, the natural response is to try to figure out what happened and what you can do to change him back. Especially if the man you fell in love with in the first place seemed to be a lot more like Prince Charming than the toad you’re stuck with now. 

Crystal Therapy: Three Ritual Methods to Charge Crystals

When using crystals in a therapeutic way it is best to develop a method of crystal charging for your practice. Most practitioners agree that using some form of ritual or energy healing method is the best way to activate the energy matrix inside of crystals. Here are three of the most common ways to activate the energy matrix in crystals. It is best to do these ritual practices after the crystals have been cleansed. For more about cleansing crystals please review the previous blog related to cleansing crystals.

Tarot Card of the Week: Nine of Cups

Nine of Cups

Tarot Card of the Week: July 27 – Aug 2, 2015

Nine of Cups

It’s as if fate steps in this week to take you by the hand and lead you down a path you may wish to explore again.

This path may specifically be to do with your love life and as you are in a state of blissful happiness this week your love life may also take on a new path of its own.

With Venus now retrograde there is a sense of the past catching up with the present and all looks pretty bright and rosy when it comes to your love life.

If you have been looking for inspiration or a “sign” from the Universe when it comes to your love life then this is the week it may hit you. You may hear from someone from your past or feel as if you are drawn to contacting someone you have been out of touch with for a while.

You may also feel as if you should be doing something but with the Nine of Cups things can just generally come to you. It is a card of success and wishes coming true.

There is a sense that if you gazed into the centre of this image you would be drawn into a hypnotic trance where only the centre really mattered and everything around it was on the outskirts.

Weekly Astro Forecast – July 26 – Aug 1, 2015

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Astro Forecast for the week of July 26 – Aug 1, 2015:

We start the week with a bang as Uranus turns retrograde on Sunday. As with all retrogrades, the planetary energy is turned inward, making those sudden flashes of Uranian brilliance and insight all the more real. Uranus is known as the “great awakener” and loves to shake things up — just to make sure we’re paying attention. It’s a naturally rebellious  archetype, but the retrograde makes it less about bucking the system and more about challenging our own deeply personal ideals.

The Angel Messenger

The Message Might Be Gentle Or Roar Like The Lion…

After work, on a cloudy Friday afternoon, I decided to take a drive and go shopping because I wanted to buy a bed skirt to match my new comforter, so I headed off to Sears.

On the way to Sears, I heard this strong, abrupt voice say, “Go home right now!”

After I heard this strong voice ordering me to go home, I started to shake and almost lost my ability to drive just as I was pulling into the Sears parking lot.

I wondered what the heck this was all about, I was being told to go home right now and not shop! The Voice said “No” to shopping!

The experience shattered me, and I had to sit in my car for a good ten minutes to calm myself, after I pulled into the Sears parking lot.

Does He Want to Break Up?

Does He Want to Break Up?  Does She want out?

In the Part One article last week, we explored some of the signals that a person wants to be in a relationship with you.  In this article, Part Two,  we’ll take a look at the signs and signals that a partner wants to end a relationship. 

As in the previous article, there’s no cookie-cutter formula that will show you the complexities of each personality and situation but there are a few energetic signatures of fear and withdrawal  to look out for in a person who wants to leave a relationship but is afraid to talk about it directly.

Sometimes one or both people wanting out doesn’t really mean a permanent end to the relationship; it can be a crisis signal that there is a serious issue within the relationship that is not being communicated effectively and there can be an opportunity to move forward.   However, these signals often mean that an ending is near.  It’s not possible to change what isn’t working in a relationship if one partner is unwilling or unable.

Here are the signs that the two of you are headed for a break even if they insist  that things are fine, or don’t want to talk about the relationship:

Crystal Therapy: Crystals for Chakra Alignment

In this blog I will be discussing stones and crystals that have energetic properties to bring about balance within your energy body which is known as your chakra system. To understand how crystals work, I first want to discuss resonate energy. Resonate energy is the vibrational quality of the things around us. Everything carries an energy signature, and the reason why crystals are quite popular in metaphysical practices is because the resonate energy of crystals is often a higher frequency than other tools and objects. This is due to their unique matrices and minerals within each crystal.

Tarot Card of the Week — Strength

Strength-MythicTarot Card of the Week: July 20-July 26
The Inner Strength Of Your Spirit

This week you might need to stand up for yourself and face a situation that feels like the hot fiery Sun. If you do not stand up for yourself and head for the hills, you’ll end up in your cave of fears or procrastination!

In Mythic Tarot and Greek Mythology, you meet Heracles, a mortal that became a god. Heracles was known as one of the greatest hero’s because he faced and conquered the biggest and most ferocious lion, Nemean.

In the Strength card, Nemean represents a metaphor for the Sun, a situation that feels hot and burning, easily raging out of control and requires you to stand up for yourself and face the ferocious lion within, or the outer lion that roars at you!

The Strength card shows Heracles entering a cave – the cave represents a metaphor for your inner hidden fears, and fear can stop you straight away, if you let it!  With determination, you can conquer almost any fear, for it truly exists in your mind.

You need to tap into your inner strength and face the situation that roars at you with all your courage and strength to become the hero that wears the skin of the lion, who faces the heat of the ferocious Sun!

Weekly Astro Forecast – July 19 – July 25, 2015

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Astro Forecast for the week of July 19 – July 25, 2015:

Mercury squares Uranus and trines Chiron on Monday. The square to Uranus can be challenging. It can manifest as an overwhelming need to be “right.” It can be opinionated and argumentative. If you don’t want to risk alienating everyone around you, your best bet will be to bite your tongue and keep your opinions to yourself, at least for the next day or so.

Does He Want a Relationship?

A few years ago I started hearing a new kind of jargon from people seeking romantic guidance,  “What are his / her  intentions?” 

When I first started hearing it, it seemed like a weird question.   After all, relationships are organic, flowing and dynamic and people rarely have fixed “intentions,”  exact blueprints or robotic instructions of what they want and how they wish to proceed. Nope. Most people (just like you) are trying to understand another person, decide how they fit in their lives and protect their heart from hurt in the process.

I quickly tuned into the fact that what people really wanted to know was whether or not the person they were seeing was interested the same kind of relationship they were.  Does he want a relationship?  Is she interested in me the same way I am?   And while this might have been a more obvious process a few decades ago  (don’t people talk openly anymore?)  modern dating has made figuring out how another person feels a more complicated and confusing process as dating (and social technology and social media) changes the relationship landscape.

The Astrology of Divorce and Break Ups

Can astrology predict when a marriage or relationship may go sour or experience difficulty? Can an astrologer foresee a divorce?

For this question, I have to say in most cases yes. The reason is that everyone goes through cycles.

Transits and progressions to one’s chart bring that planet’s energy to the chart. This can have an impact on our experiences during that period of time.

Another thing to consider is the individual horoscopes as well as the synastry and composite charts between the two people being analyzed for potential divorce or break up.
