During this period of the month – approximately the middle of July – Pluto transits the Sun, deeply influencing the Cardinal signs of the zodiac: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. In astrology, Pluto is unanimously accepted as the master of transformation, creating waves of change in our lives as Pluto’s energies impact us on a soul-deep level. Pluto forces us to face the darkest and most well-hidden parts of our inner selves, thus leading to a true inner revolution. The energies of Pluto bring about important realizations about us in particular, and about the world and life in general. This is why oftentimes Pluto transits engender in us feeling of helplessness and powerlessness – we are forced to face ‘the dark’ in order to find light and to grow. Things change on a deeper level, inside of us, and with this shift of values, experiences, feelings, and so on comes close encounter with the unknown. However, the bright side of this rather turbulent inner transformati...

By Wendy St. Germain Reiki can be easily integrated into many aspects of your daily life allowing you to benefit from the relaxing and healing properties of life force energy. In my article, Reiki - Woven Into the Spiritual Fabric of Your Life, I outlined simple Reiki Techniques to start your day, but when you get to work, there are many more opportunities to do Reiki: Make a Reiki symbol card by drawing all the Reiki symbols to which you have been attuned on a piece of paper or a file card. I did this on my computer by drawing the symbols on paper and scanning into the computer. Then print the symbols on a business card and place it out of site around your work space. You can put one under your keyboard, in your file cabinet or on the back of your wall calendar. Use Reiki symbols as passwords for online accounts, you will be typing them each time you login. Place a mini Reiki crystal grid on your desk, at work, in a very attractive box. Keep a picture on your crystal g...

You know what this current mix of transiting energies makes me think of? Taking what’s wild, and applying rules to it. Venus in Aries is just coming off a conjunction with rebel Uranus, and heading into a square with expansive Jupiter in Cancer. Venus in Aries is a bit crazy. Charge after what you want. Flirt with an assertive edge. Draw a little blood. Uranus and Jupiter are punching up those Venus themes (love, money, self-esteem, beauty). Get NOTICED. But Jupiter is trining Saturn Rx in Scorpio. No matter how you slice it, Saturn is about rules. The limits of reality. To me, this feels like taking the crazy____ and  focusing  it. Taking what’s messy and putting some polish on it. Saturn Rx in Scorpio is not about convention, btw (not that kind of polish). It’s about reaching deeper, stretching further (so that you pull a muscle) and coming up with a  meaningful focus . Going to where it aches, and finding the truth, and allowing  those l...

Who among us really understands the chakras? For all that we know about these seven spinal energy points, much is still undiscovered. According to ancient texts, the chakras appear as spinning wheels of light. In fact, the word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel. Chakras receive and emit energy, which may be either negative or positive depending on the health of this energy. During the healing process, you will discover differences in the needs of each chakra. You needn't fear this challenge. Think of your chakras as a garden, with each flower requiring specialized care. Some chakras will require less attention, while others are more demanding. The dedication to this self-scrutiny makes healing the chakras as challenging as it is rewarding. The guidelines below may be modified to your needs. When choosing stones, be attentive not to the size or appearance, but instead to your reaction when holding them. Some of these crystals may be unfamiliar, but you are likely to find t...
