The best news: Mercury goes direct today, at 9:00 am Eastern Time, to be precise (on Friday, February 28). For those who have been wondering, yes, Mercury has been retrograde (appearing to move backward when viewed from Earth) for the last 3 weeks. We’ve had computer issues, communication issues, mail not arriving. All Mercury items! So, while things still might be a bit sluggish for a few days, they will be getting back to normal soon. The next Mercury Retrograde starts June 7 so we have some time to relax.
The days are getting noticeably longer and I saw a robin standing in the snow this week. Woo Hoo!!! Can Spring be far behind? While I love Winter, I’m getting excited about the wonderful energy of action that comes with the Spring Equinox on March 20. We still have 3 more weeks to do our inner work and plan before we launch new projects.
Tomorrow is a New Moon in Pisces, at 2:59 am Eastern Time. This New Moon is inviting us to create new beliefs, new thoughts, new dreams and desires for our life. The key words for the sign of Pisces: I Believe. Now figure out what you believe and what you are ready to stop believing.
In the healing sessions that I have offered (and there are still some slots left) I am seeing huge shifts occur with the transmission of energy and you don’t even have to know consciously what is shifting! The guides and healing angels are working hard to make sure that we experience the fullness of what the Universe has to offer this year. If you are ready for a breakthrough, I strongly encourage you to claim one of the remaining healing sessions. I have been guided to limit the number that I do but I still have room for you if you are ready to breakthrough to that next level of consciousness and Live Your Richest Life THIS YEAR. Send me an email and we can discuss your situation and whether or not this breakthrough opportunity is for you. rosemary@thescientificmystic.com
If you participated in the Possibilities Playshop you’ll know that we enter a new ‘moonth’ with every New Moon. This cycle of the Moon helps us to learn about our dreams and desires. Plan and consider what you are bringing into your life and record this in your Playbook. It’s fun to work with the Moon! And if you weren’t in the Playshop, you will have another chance to create your own Possibilities Playbook in a couple of months. Stay tuned! If you just can’t wait, you can still purchase the DVDs of the January Playshop and do it on your own. Here’s the link: Possiblilities Playshop
Keep an open mind. Get rid of beliefs that don’t serve you. Let’s work together to make this the year you Live Your Richest Life! Spring is coming and you want to be ready to Spring Forward.
Happy Mardi Gras week!
Survive or Thrive? – Richard’s Commentary
February 27, 2014 — RichardThe Divine Feminine challenge us in Rosemary’s article to make the key choice in this life: we can either scrabble for survival in what many think is a “dog-eat-dog world”; or we can step up and out to live our True Purpose, the reason the Universe supported our birth in this time and space, and thrive!
It really is that simple. And it really is a choice. Here’s how They put it through Rosemary:
Many people on Earth in 21st Century Societies are greedy for what they don’t have – riches, power, control, freedom, pride. These people are distracted from what is really important.
When one seeks to live one’s purpose, one finds that collaboration with others supports thriving in life.
There are the choices: survive or thrive.
Interestingly They do bring up karma, more as a threat than a factor in our choice. They say: Don’t think that you can thrive by pushing someone else to the brink of survival. Those who believe that this is acceptable will learn exactly what the rules of karma are. But doesn’t karma affect our choice, our purpose? Are people merely in survival mode because they have past “debts” to work through?
I am in the middle of asking this very question of myself, working through the process of purging karma, some from my younger days and likely a whole lot from past lives. I am practicing an intense “yoga” in preparation for Kalachakra Initiation, known as Kalachakra Tantra Six Session Yoga composed by the First Panchen Lama. And things are coming up. Some days in the midst of practice I ask myself if I am making any progress, if all this is worth the effort. Can we really purge, burn up, karma? And, is this part of the choice we must make to turn mere survival into thriving?
When I ask the hard questions I am often blessed with answers. Today I received two “replies” to my deepest seeking. The first is from Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. He quotes his guru, Sri Yuktesvar: “Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.”
My second answer came from my Goddess Cards, art by Susan Seddon Boulet and words by Michael Babcock. Today I drew Hathor, a Great Mother Goddess. And here is what Babcock says of her: “Hathor reminds us that we, too, must acknowledge all parts of ourselves, that what we call destructive is sometimes necessary to allow our creativity and compassion to flourish.”
Wow; thank you, Universe! Ask and you shall receive!
I have full permission to step into my purpose and thrive. I will most certainly continue the Six Session Yoga to see what comes up next.
And you, too, have the permission of the Universe, in fact the demand, that you step into your purpose and thrive! The choice is yours!
