Wow, what a powerful Lionsgate portal on August 8 and full moon on August 11. Our beautiful 13 year old dog, Zorah, got her angel wings and crossed the rainbow bridge of flowers this past week. So much releasing, heart opening and gratitude going on over here. Thanks to all of you who have shown your support as we grieve the loss of her physical presence and celebrate her amazing life of playfulne...

We’re entering a new quarter... the quarter of Bonding and Relationships (Aug 6 - Nov 5). Interesting that the I’Ching symbol that remains consistent over the next 8 weeks is water, which flows and, just like relationships, represents connectivity, emotions, and the more hidden aspects of life. We are made mostly of water and that connects us all to each other and to the waters of the world. For t...

Did you know this is a particularly good week (July 30-Aug 5) to take some quiet time? The theme is "retreat." Plain and simple. You’ve worked so hard over the last 3 months, manifesting, creating and making. Now it’s time to rest. If you need permission to make this real for yourself, the sun in all its glory is backing you up on this! The symbol for hexagram 33 is "sky over mountain." Even thoug...

This *week is all about leadership, influence and the leaders in your life. You may even be one! And just because someone has been elected to lead, doesn’t mean they can. To bring this home, you may want to ask yourself, "Am I speaking with integrity? Do my words and actions match?" Words and actions are like the symbols lake over mountain (the symbol of this week) ~ when both words and deeds are...

This coming week’s energy theme (July 19-24) based on the 56th hexagram, is showing us that after having had different stimulating experiences and then telling stories about them, that’s the end of the process. Time to move on to the next exciting experience, just for the fun of it. Remember to be mindful of the shadow aspect of this week’s energy which is distraction. Ask yourself in this moment...

Our energy theme for this week is about having the fuel to begin a new cycle (hexagram 53). What’s important to note is that the seed energy behind any idea, relationship, or project works best when it’s true to you. In other words, your new idea/creation should have back-up from your heart, rather than only from your head. If you’re half-hearted in any way, don’t start! It's o.k. to take some tim...

This week’s energy theme (July 1-6), based on the 39th hexagram, is obstruction/provocation. Obstacles may be in your life this week. You may be an obstacle in someone else’s world. You may be dealing with provocative people! How can you be with this? Be like water over mountain. The water that over time, can change the course of a road. The water that over time, can bore a hole through rock. The...

The gift of this week(June 25-30) is the ability to shapeshift STRESS into STILLNESS. We have a beautiful opportunity to either follow our mind down the rabbit holes of the pressure to do, to have, to get and to produce OR to be still (temporarily, not forever) and get really clear on our intentions. When your seed intention in your work, relationships, projects, etc., is clean and aligned with yo...

Do you sometimes sleep 10 hours a day, then the next day 2 hours? Do you sometimes LOVE ice-cream, then not? Are you an extremist? These extremes within ourselves (and loving them) help us embrace the extreme behaviours within ALL of humanity. Teaser: learning to love diversity This message points towards the theme of this week (June 19-24), which is about more than co-existing. It’s about embraci...

Is it time for a pause? What if you took today (or the following week) as a breather? This week’s theme (June 14-19) is inspired by hexagram 12, all about stopping before you act, speak or create. It’s about meditation and purposeful inaction. Being aware that we are all social beings to one degree or another, this hexagram points to the importance of withdrawing from the social scene now and then...

We are exploring two themes... change and progress (Sun in hexagram 35 June 2-7) and gathering together (Sun in hexagram 45 June 8-12). In the last few days you might have noticed in yourself and others, a hunger for adventure. You may have been aware that there’s a boundless desire for change and progress present in others and yourself. On the shadow side, you could experience this as an insatiab...

Do you ever catch yourself saying, I’m not ready yet.? When you say this from fear or indifference, you might be denying yourself the joy of Enthusiasm, this week's theme. Indifference runs like a current through the collective mind. And when indifference runs your life, it's going to be challenging to live your Genius!   On the other hand, when you wake up to your delightful difference, (Genius)...

Life gets so full and busy, it's important to become the "watcher" as well as the "do-er." This Sunday gives us pause to take 30 minutes and to contemplate the thoughts, emotions and stories leading our lives... from a more detached perspective. From this position, we can gain new insights or a fresh view, or simply relax! This week’s (May 21-26) theme of the 20th hexagram, is contemplation in the...

How can you be the wild river living on the earth with all its inhabitants in harmony? This is the theme of the upcoming week (May 15-20) where we are imbued with the energy of the 8th hexagram, originally titled from the I’Ching, "union" or "holding together." How does this apply to you? As an individual, you are a unique genius and this week celebrates this very thing! You don’t have to do anyth...

This upcoming week’s theme (May 10-14) is all about finding the quintessence and being able to express your insights in ways that others find helpful and can understand. On the flip side, it also has to do with the shadow aspects of complexity and the fear of meeting intolerance. The I’Ching calls hexagram 23, "falling away" which means that when you find the words/energy to express the essence of...

Beltane is a Gaelic celebration of the joy of spring and the coming summer. Originally it was the day when farmers brought the cows to pasture. There was the lighting of fires to protect the cattle, crops and homes and to encourage new growth and fertility. It was a grand day of May flowers decorating the Maypoles & doorways, feasting & dancing & offerings to the faeries! Beltane is still celebrat...

Last week’s theme was about Beginning. Now what can you do with that which has begun? Do you dare to care for those creations of yours? Those tender shoots from the seeds you helped put into action? Let’s access the power to care and nourish tender new beginnings that's available to us all this week (April 22-27) through hexagram 27. What’s new in your world that’s craving some love and nurturing?...

Last week’s theme was about endings and the cycles of things... and guess what happens after something ends? Something new begins and emerges out of the chaos of what had come before. Hexagram 3 is called Beginning. Some texts refer to it as "Difficulty at the Beginning." But it’s only difficult when you don’t surrender to the chaos inevitable in new beginnings. Do you trust in the bigger picture...

Is there something in you or your life that needs to be released? This coming week is a good time to practice surrendering to the rhythms of our lives, the cycles of life and death, beginnings and endings, as is so timely in this transition from Winter to Spring! Teaser: Cycles of growth cannot be rushed Inspired by the ancient Chinese I-Ching, Astrology, Human Design and Gene Keys, Juna and Sabin...

This week’s coming energy theme (April 5-9) is based on the I'Ching 51st hexagram, Shock and Arousal. Thunder over thunder, shaking over shaking, is a symbol that speaks loud and clear. The thunder signals that Spring is coming... and we’d better get planting! This energy is here to wake us up from our long winter's sleep. Our bodies need some rousing. Unconsciously, the shadow of this shocking, q...

Teaser: from opinions to possibilities It can be tempting when you’re in fear or confusion to want to have things "make sense." Coming up with an opinion is one way to manage mental anxiety. Our minds scan for certainty. We can say we follow science or logic or facts, but when it comes to allaying our mental fears, we often conjure an opinion, which is not necessarily based in fact. Opinions are j...

In hexagram 25 (I'Ching), the theme for this week's meditation and energy forecast, we find the myth of the sacred wound. At the shadow level, if you constrict love and life in yourself and others, you bring in more suffering. Nowhere is this more apparent than in your breathing. Check in, is your breathing open, soft, relaxed? Or constricted? We learn constrictive breathing patterns early on and...

It might be nice if we could jump from inexperience to experience, but it doesn’t work that way. This week’s energy forecast demands that we look into the darkness (that which we can’t see), put fear aside, and go in. Of course, you might feel on shaky ground because you don’t know what you’re going to meet... but this is what the 36th hexagram is all about. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway. F...

You may feel heavy-hearted with the current situation in Ukraine, but in our coming together, what Grace can arise? The conflicts and war arising around the world in these times of change, are an outer display of how the powers that be are fiercely trying to hold on to out-dated, ineffective power games and structures of Rulership. Oligarchs and governments are willing to do anything to maintain o...

In the last couple of years and even more recently, we’ve seen what the power of standing together, even in our differences, can create. Join us to contemplate this week’s theme about family, friendship and community... and finding our place in it. And from a purely mystical level, what is our greater purpose? Teaser: genius requires boldness Inspired by the ancient Chinese I-Ching, Astrology, Hum...
