Happy Halloween! Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of Mexican skeletons and sugar skulls appearing alongside traditional Halloween decorations. These fun, whimsical figures are popping up everywhere, so I wanted to write more about them and how they can help connect us to the celebration of life, death and our loved ones.
In Mexican and Latin communities throughout the world, “Dia de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) is observed on November 1st and 2nd in festivities to honour, commune with, pray for, and celebrate deceased loved ones as they visit the physical world in spirit on these special days. Related to the Catholic holidays of All Souls Day and All Saints Day, these celebrations have been tied to societies in pre-Hispanic and ancient Mexico as well.
Honoring the Dead on Halloween
All Saints Day, All Souls Day, All Hallows Eve, Halloween, all traditions seeped in mystery, and the mystical.
Traditions designed to remember the Dead, whether it be in Japan, Cambodia, Mexico or the U.S.A, October 31 to Nov 2 are dates honor all those who have passed before us. And we keep them alive through our memories.
All Saints’ Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven.
Tarot Card of the Week: The Hermit
Tarot Card of the Week: Oct 26 – Nov 1
The Hermit
This week’s card is The Hermit from the Art Through the Eyes of the Soul Oracle, by Cheryl Yambrach Rose. This is a stunning deck containing the artists empowered oil paintings based on sacred sites and their mythology.
Key statements for this card are: Develop the gifts you have been given. Speak Your truth. Share your wisdom with others. Shine your light.
Depicted on this card is Mount Shasta, the sacred mountain in North Carolina. This dormant volcano is a vortex — a portal to higher dimensions of consciousness.
It is said that this area of mountain range was once part of Atlantis and Lemuria where a highly advanced society lived. Mount Shasta holds the position as the root or base chakra of the world.
Poet Godfre Ray King wrote of Shasta as this: Shasta! O Mount Shasta! What Secrets do you hide, What dwells within that Heart of Yours, What Light does There abide?
The Hermit stands on her narrow path of initiation. She holds up the Lamp of truth to guide those below in the darkness.
Weekly Astro Forecast — Oct 25 – Oct 31, 2015
Here is the Psychic Scoop Astrology Forecast for the week of Oct 25 – Oct 31, 2015:
The Venus / Mars / Jupiter / conjunction is still visible in the morning sky all week long. Make sure you get out there and take a look: this is the last time we’ll see this morning star configuration until 2021.
A Glance at your Day – the Diurnal Chart
For those who read their daily horoscope and find that most of it is general in its delivery – there is a good reason for this: it is written for the masses not for you in particular!
Sure, there may be some things that will come to the fore on any given day/week/month in these solar based predictions, but, there is no better way to see how your day may pan out than looking at your diurnal chart.
A diurnal chart is quite simply your personalized horoscope for any particular day in your life. This is due to the way a diurnal chart is calculated.

The Invisible Man. Part 5 of 12:
This is part 5 in “The Invisible Man” series with a question that comes from a woman we call Annie. Annie was stuck at the cross-roads for many years regarding a relationship break-up that she never saw coming…
Annie is a long time client of mine, and she asked me to go into detail about a man she was engaged to in the past. We will call this man James Bond…
Annie thought she knew James Bond inside and out, but when the relationship ended, unexpectedly and without closure, she realized she didn’t know him like she thought she did!
She had a hard time letting him go and said she should’ve been much further by now, but she is still twisted and stuck in a rut, still looking backwards instead of looking forwards!

Tarot Card of the Week: The High Priestess
Tarot Card of the Week: Oct 12 – Oct 18, 2015
The High Priestess
This week’s card — in honor of the New Moon at 19° Libra — is the High Priestess card, this version from Anna Klaffinger’s gorgeous Anna K. Tarot.
The High Priestess represents intuition, serenity and wisdom. She encourages you to seek guidance from within and to heed your inner voice. In this respect you may need to find your place of quiet and solitude in order to best access her messages.
She represents psychic impressions and psychic experiences, such as astral travel, lucid dreams or déjà vu experiences. While that may be a bit unnerving for you at first it can open up doors for you that you never dreamed possible.
The High Priestess is a strong feminine energy — regardless of gender. It speaks of feminine strength and wisdom and all the secrets of the Universe unveiled.
The High Priestess in this card is seated at the edge of a deep, dark pool. A portion of her robes are submerged in the water, and an old tree rises from its depths.
Weekly Astro Forecast — Oct 11 – Oct 17, 2015
Here is the Psychic Scoop Astrology Forecast for the week of Oct 11 – Oct 17, 2015:
On Sunday, the Sun inconjuncts Chiron and Venus squares Saturn. This is a touchy pair of aspects with the Sun / Chiron inconjunct indicating a need to remedy an imbalance between the desire for self-actualization (the Sun) and the urge for self-sacrifice (Chiron).
So, you’re an empath, now what?
What does it mean to be an empath? It is one thing to discover you are an empath, having the ability feel others feelings and even physical sensations, but it’s an entirely different journey to learn then what that means for you, how (or whether) to interpret the information, and how to bring yourself to a healthy and centered place again and again.
And, it is entirely possible, even probable, that you arrived here, in this life, having forgotten your power, who you truly are, what your gifts are and how to use/focus them.
In recent years, I have been offered ongoing guidance to assist fellow empaths in exploring their gifts and learning to ground, and as a result, have a more peaceful life experience. For the purpose of this article, I’ll simply focus on empathetic (felt physically and emotionally) energy and how that looks and feels to me with the hopes that my interpretation will start to unveil your understanding as well.
