Happy Friday! We’re still in the energy of yesterday’s New Moon/Solar Eclipse so don’t be surprised if there are some shifts happening. Aches, pains, illnesses, migraines, fatigue – these might all be signs that you’re being impacted by this major celestial event. Coastal Flood Warnings are common here in Annapolis on the Chesapeake Bay as the Moon affects the tides. And since we humans are mostly water…
From our astrologer friend, Steve Nelson, comes this bit of wisdom for these times: An eclipse is Mother Nature’s most powerful editing tool. When an eclipse occurs above, outmoded patterns get eclipsed here below. This eclipse begins a month of world changing events with many major breakdowns and wonderful breakthroughs. Old patterns break, new worlds emerge.
Now is the time. What are you waiting for? The stars to align? The heavens to support you? It’s here!
The best way to deal with huge celestial events is to go inside and do some self-examination. It’s a good thing to ask a guide to help you in this process if you really want to get the serious work done. I’m finding a lot of people who’ve known me for awhile without working with me saying, ‘I feel that I need to make an appointment with you now.’ These are the energies – Let’s get ‘er done! Remember, if you’re feeling it’s time to do the work, you can start with a Complimentary Discovery Session with me to explore what direction is the right one for you to take. No cost! Click Here to Apply and I’ll get back to you soon to get this phone call on our calendars.
If you know you’ve got someone else renting space in your brain [see today’s Exploration] then join us on Monday, May 20th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time for an Online Conversation with The Other Side and get in touch with the guidance you need to return a story to someone on The Other Side or learn how to grow by hearing a message from your angels and spirit guides. These fun and educational events are great times to get some information and everyone in the group is supposed to hear all the messages of the evening [plus I’ll be doing some teaching during our time together]. We’ve already got folks in Colorado and Maryland joining us but there are still some spaces left. This is a very limited event so the group stays intimate. You can participate by computer or phone or in person if you’re in the Annapolis area. Click Here for the details. Hope to ‘see’ you on the 20th!
Happy Mothers’ Day on Sunday, May 12th! This is not only a time to honor our own mother but to expand that thought and honor Mother Earth, the Divine Mother, and all energies and manifestations of the Divine Feminine Energy on Earth. Think of creation and what you are birthing into the Universe, with your feminine energy whether you are male or female. Honor your Inner Mother! And may all the human mothers have a wonderful day celebrating you and your gifts to the world!
If you’re in the Annapolis area, Richard will be offering 2 different Qigong classes starting in June. Send an email if you’d like specifics. We’d love to have you join us!
Blessed Times of Change are here. Be gentle with yourself!

Are You Ready? – Richard’s Commentary
May 9, 2013 — RichardRosemary’s opening to her MuseLetter article this week was certainly provocative:
Did you think you could relax because you made it through December 21, 2012? Think again!
The Shift has begun. Time has been speeding up for years and we’re moving ahead at an amazing pace. It’s time to grow, to transform, to evolve. Hold onto your hat!
Yes, the time is now. And I can certainly feel the urgency of the moment. I have been impacted a lot this week as we are in this very old moon energy in Taurus. My body hurts, my mind isn’t functioning at peak performance and my emotions tend to rule my tongue more often than I’d like! Is it just this old moon, impending new moon and solar eclipse coming our way that has me in such a state? And what can I do to “be ready”?
Then we came across this from one of our astrologer friends; we have trusted Steve Nelson’s readings for us and his deep writing for years! Here’s what Steve says about this time in May:
Karma is fate, dharma is destiny. Karma is in the body as chronic muscle tension that holds encoded past emotional memory. Dharma is our divine purpose to be revealed and realized as karma is let go. Past world patterning or karma can be released through exercise (especially yoga), deep breathing and ritual celebration. Collective karma, the shadow of the age, is up for clearing now. As we clear personal karma we clear world karma. Karma is cleared cosmically by New Moons and by eclipses of the Sun and Moon.
…
A solar eclipse is Mother Nature’s most powerful instrument for transformation. When an eclipse occurs above, things get eclipsed and are transformed here below. Whatever needs eclipsing comes up in the days/weeks before a solar eclipse. An eclipse is an opportunity to eliminate patterns of thought and behavior that trouble our world. This is an ideal time to clear away what stands in the way of dreams being realized. The May 9/10 solar eclipse is the subject of another prophecy by Nostradamus in Century 9 Quatrain 83: “Sun twentieth of Taurus, the Earth will tremble mightily; It will ruin the great theater filled: And so darken and trouble air, sky and land, the unbeliever will call upon God and the saints.”
The May 9/10 solar eclipse in the 20th degree of Taurus may bring a great earthquake as Nostradamus predicted. We’re advised to stay away from crowded theaters on this day. Our old world patterns are broken one way or another; we can hope and pray for the kinder gentler way.
It sounds to me that all the energy I’m feeling is definitely part of this New Moon/Solar Eclipse energy. It may be a doozy. I’ll definitely “hold on to my hat”!
But what does this mean; how do we prepare and “be ready” for major events that may occur? Steve Nelson recommends ritual work. Ritual is a wonderful way to heighten our awareness and bring consciousness and intention to our plans and actions.
And Steve mentions yoga and deep breathing – no surprise here! As you know from my previous posts I am all about yoga, qigong and breath-work!
I am doing everything in my power to be ready for this New Moon/Eclipse this evening (it occurs here on the east coast at 8:29 pm). Here’s what Rosemary has said about it:
This Solar Eclipse ends a cycle and begins a new one. Look back at what was happening in your life on May 10, 1994 for some clues about your personal evolution. We are being invited to release the past, clear negative thought patterns and whatever else might be holding us back from expanded consciousness and evolution. According to The Mountain Astrologer magazine, Eclipses also affect cellular memory, facilitating our awakening and remembrance of our soul’s blueprint.
Karma and dharma: release the past and awaken to your soul’s blueprint!
With Steve I wish you a “kinder and gentler” experience of this powerful energy. May you use it for growth!
