How did you like the New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse of October 23? Everybody I talked to seemed to be going through major transformation during this week! We can go with the flow or resist, but change is happening and I think it’s more comfortable to go with the flow, don’t you?
The Sun is now in Scorpio so we are ready for Transformation with a capital ‘T’ and the eclipse catapults us into big change, ushering in the new and inviting us to allow the old stuff (things, relationships, beliefs) to be released. The good news is that Mercury, that planet of communication, stopped appearing to move backward (retrograde motion) and turned around to move forward again on Saturday, October 25 at 3:17 pm Eastern Daylight Time. The end of Mercury Retrograde periods usually means we can communicate without snafus and our emails might actually arrive at the intended recipient’s inbox! Something to celebrate!
I’m loving the cooler weather of Autumn and enjoying having no air conditioning or heating on in the house. There is something special about watching the animals prepare for winter – birds at the bird feeders, squirrels at the bird feeders, finding the bird feeder under a tree (raccoons taking off with the bird feeder) and seeing geese flying south for the Winter.
To help you plan your Autumn schedule, and because holiday calendars start to fill up early, here are a few upcoming events that we are holding in Maryland:
November 18 and December 11 — The Oracle Speaks, where I channel important messages from The Divine Feminine. The October 15 session was AMAZING!!! It was so much more than just information to be listened to – it was a transmission of energy to be experienced. I’m sorry if you weren’t with us live but the recording is available for purchase here Oracle Recording Several of us have listened to this multiple times and continue to get value from the guidance we received. This message will help you to get out of fear and understand who you really are and what your Purpose is.
I highly recommend adding this audio to your library. And join us for the November and December eventsso you can get the messages while they are being delivered. These are times of transformation. Get the help that is being offered as you shift to a higher level of consciousness for your life. You can join us via your computer or telephone so you don’t have to come to Maryland! (You can choose to join this even if you are in Maryland.) Each evening is a separate event. You may attend either or both. More Information and Registration
December 13 — Possibilities Playshop – It’s here again!!! Time to explore the possibilities for your 2015, have a very fun time creating your personal Possibilities Playbook, and hang out with some fun folks as you create your vision, clear some blocks, meet your guide, and leave with a Playbook to help you through the coming ‘moonths’ (Moon Cycles). I guarantee you will have some laughs and do some good work. It’s scheduled for 10-2 but each time we’ve done this folks want to hang around longer. Get more details here and reserve your spot early: Possiblities Playshop
Where’s Rosemary?
November 1 and 2 – A Community of Transformation (ACT) is presenting 2 events with Ashana playing her amazing and transformative music with crystal bowls and her angelic singing. I serve on the Board (Co-Creation Council) of ACT and we are very excited to be bringing Ashana back to Annapolis, Maryland for these events. You can check out the details and get tickets at www.actannapolis.org
December 5-7 at the Practice Building Breakthrough Event in LA with Christine Kloser and Brian Whetten. (Oh, and since our new little grandson is also in LA, we’ll be visiting family – woo hoo!)
Get ready to celebrate Halloween next week!!!
Mystic Messages 
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!
