2008 Energies: Let it all In!

2008 Energies: Let it all In!


Are you ready to live the life of your greatest imaginings? Well ready or not, here it comes, rushing toward you with the full force of a high powered steam train! All those years of putting out intentions and affirmations, writing lists, clearing and healing issues, waiting, waiting, waiting for the right timing, right person, right opportunity, finally the time is here where all that we have been dreaming about and desiring starts coming together as if by magic!

Yet as much as we will feel in awe at the wonder of it, this state of manifesting ‘as if by magic’ is our natural state of being! The fairy tales we were told as children all held grains of truth. If you look inside each of them, you will find great wisdom in mythical disguise. Inside Aladdin’s lamp lived a genie, who fulfilled his every wish. Peter Pan asked children to call out ‘I believe in fairies!’ so that Tinkerbell could live. To those who don’t believe in dreams, fairy tales are just stories someone with a good imagination made up. Yet to those who do believe, fairy tales are Hansel and Gretel like crumbs, leading us to that which is possible. Imagination is images from a source higher than our conscious knowing, showing us what is real on some other level of existence. And if it is real on some other level of existence, then surely it can be real on this one too.

Yes we are all magical co-creators of our life story, writers of our own special fairy tale. Deep down we always have been, but it is only now that we are ready to accept the great responsibility that comes with this amazing power. Can you imagine what would have happened if we got everything we asked for without the consciousness to match our requests? Can you imagine the chaos we would have created if every thought we sent out resulted in an immediate physical outcome?

We have been protected by a delayed reaction system. In previous years, only that which we focused on over and over and over again manifested, sometimes years and years down the track. You may have noticed though that the manifesting process is changing. These days, for better or worse, no sooner have you thought something then bang, you get some sort of physical outcome as a result. Thinking a thought that doesn’t serve you? Ouch, the body tenses up, a knot in the stomach appears, it gets harder to breath, owwwwww it feels like you’ve dropped into a thick cloud of density. Well, technically and energetically you have. The New Reality exists on a whole other vibration than that Old Reality we are now emerging from. It is going to feel clearer and more obvious to you which reality you are residing in, in any given moment.

Do you feel all heavy and tight? Are you in some resistance or fear? Are you trying to make things happen or control certain outcomes? You have dropped back in to the Old Reality my friend. Can you let go and trust? Can you get yourself in the present now moment, knowing that the past and future are completely irrelevant to your current state of peace? Are you feeling good? Do you know that 100% for sure you deserve to have good things come to you? Are you ready to let love and joy in? Are you excited beyond belief about the adventure and possibilities that lie before you? Welcome to the New Reality!

Now, letting the New Reality in doesn’t always feel like a picnic. Like I said, we are now living in times where more and more of it is going to start rushing toward you, ready or not. So, all that you’ve dreamt of might suddenly show up at your door tomorrow! Hey, it might even be there right now. So, what’s so bad about that you may ask? Well, the New Reality is doing its bit by showing up to your door. Your part in the story is to let it in!

No problems, you may be thinking. If my soulmate/dream job/abundant money/all I ever wanted shows up at my door I’ll gladly let them in! Really? Well guess what? When joy and love and happiness show up on your doorstep, guess who’s going to suddenly appear in your loungeroom, holding on to your shirttail as you desperately try to run to the door? Doubt. Fear. Unworthiness. The wounded inner child. That’s right – any little issue, aspect and archetype you’ve ever had that’s still hanging around, even in miniscule, barely there form, is going to suddenly appear.

If you are feeling like your dream life is almost right in front of you, but remains slightly just beyond your grasp, if you are feeling like you are living your dream life, but keep feeling scared it won’t be forever like that, or that it’s too good to be true, or that you don’t deserve it, or you can’t trust it, then there is still a door between you and the New Reality. You haven’t let it, and all the amazing feelings associated with it, all the way in. It may be a very thin door, it may even be barely a puff of smoke, but if it’s there it’s time to knock it down and blow it away!

Turn around and deal with the last remnants of your Old Reality already. Face those issues, aspects and archetypes and do what you need to do with them. Love them, hug them, embrace them, release them. Tell Doubt you are now aligning with Trust. Tell Fear you are now joining hands with Love. Tell Guilt you are done with unworthiness and that you Deserve what is divinely and rightfully yours. Hold your inner child and take her or him with you, assuring them they’ll be safe always with you.

As you turn back around to face the door, and open it fully, whooshka, the house you used to reside in comes tumbling down. As the dust clears, you open your eyes to find a whole new world around you. The ghosts of fear and doubt may still come from time to time, but they don’t hold much power here in this new place. You have new friends now – Love, Trust, Joy, Worthiness, Gratitude. Ask them to help you find your way in this new place and space; it’s a whole new ballgame in the New Reality.

Email Session Testimonial

Many many thanks Dana. Everything you have touched on resonates so deeply with me that I read through my reading in tears. A very strange feeling to see a reflection of yourself like that but I already feel a new sense of clarity and definitely have revitalised hope that the particular kind of lasting happiness I am seeking will soon find its way to me. …….. It's already made me see my life from a new perspective and after so much confusion and far too many tears, I now feel confident that the choices I am making and want to make, will be the right ones. Much gratitude, Amanda, Airlie Beach, Australia.

Special Offer: Outrageous Mastery by Sasha Xarrian

I want to introduce you to an amazing woman named Sasha.

Sasha got married at an early age and had 7 kids in 9 years, all in her twenties. She had a beautiful home, loving family and life was good. It seemed as if she was living the dream. But then things started going horribly wrong. For reasons we can't get into here, Sasha's life started falling apart. Within a seven month period, she got divorced, lost her home, her friends, her extended family, money, and just about everything else in life. All she had left was sole custody of her children. With no money, no home, and no work experience, how was she going to survive? Read her entire story here: http://www.cartville.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=697020

Not willing to give up and give in, Sasha would begin a journey that would last for the next 30 years and would forever change her life and thousands of others. Sasha was on a mission to find and create a life of Wealth, Joy, Abundance, Love, and Self-Confidence. She found it! She discovered what was holding her back. It wasn't her Ex-husband, it wasn't her family and friends (or lack there of), it wasn't her inexperience in the work force, it wasn't anything in the outside world that held her back. So what was it?

It was her beliefs. Sasha learned that nothing in her life would change until she changed her beliefs about life, money, love, her self and her limits.
Go here to read her entire story and learn from her experiences: http://www.cartville.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=697020 Your life will be forever changed.

PS. Just for going and reading Sasha's Story she will give you over $2,500 in free Bonuses, for only $21.

http://www.cartville.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=697020

PPS. She is only giving away these bonuses for 48 hours, so don't miss out, go here today!

December 2007 Monthly Visions

What’s Happening this Month

Embracing Global and Cosmic events to help Create your Reality,

written by Dana Mrkich

http://www.danamrkich.com/




10 Dec – New Moon Sagittarius
Including info on Mars Retrograde (15 Nov 2007 – 30 Jan 2008)
There’s a bit of a strange feeling in the air leading up to this new moon. On the one hand we have a New Moon in Sagittarius – sign of the great adventurer! We feel like we should want to immerse in all things festive and start planning for the new year ahead. On the other hand Mars, planet of drive, action, energy, motivation and assertiveness is retrograde (until Jan 30!!) so while half of us is wanting to go forward, the other half is hitting brick walls, feeling overly tired, and wondering why our get up and go feels like it got up and went somewhere!

Now, Mars Retrograde can be a good thing. He is asking us to look at the way we use our energy. So, if you are usually someone who rushes through life at 1000 miles an hour, this is a time to learn to slow down. If you usually procrastinate you might find yourself with more on your plate than ever – the universe is trying to kick start you into action so that you can let in all the abundance currently in a traffic queue outside your front door! If you are usually quite passive, Mars will be stirring your pot right now calling you to stand up for yourself. If you are one who likes to get your own way by shouting loudest, you’re in for a humility check as this retrograde shows you that other people have a right to their say too.

This New Moon is a good time to really look at how you use your Mars energy, and work out where you need to be more assertive and where you need to learn to take a step back or pipe down a little, where you need to be more action-oriented, and where you need to take time to stop and smell the roses.


11 Dec – Jupiter Conjunct Pluto 28 degrees Sagittarius
This is a once in 13 years event, with Jupiter the planet of abundance, good luck and expansion, connecting with Pluto, planet of transformation and rebirth! If you have a copy of your chart (you can create one free at http://www.astro.com/) take a look where 28 degrees Sagittarius falls in your chart. This is the area that is about to receive a potentially life-transforming, powerful shift! To add extra punch, 28 degrees Sagittarius happens to be right near our Galactic Core. Now Pluto won’t be near that again for about another 250 years, so you can be sure that whatever happens around this time is the universe’s way of completely aligning your path with who you really are at your deepest, core level. Big time transformation is the gift available here, so just open your arms wide and say “Thank you, I am open to this transformation!”


24 Dec – Full Moon Cancer/Jupiter-Sun Conjunction

What a beautiful energy to have on Christmas Eve (for those who celebrate). This strongly emotional full moon will be in her natural sign of warm, nurturing, home and family oriented Cancer. At the same time jovial Jupiter makes his annual connection with the Sun. This is the perfect day to spend with the person or people closest to you and let them know how much you love and appreciate them. If you are going through a hard time, today is a day to light a candle and say a prayer, perhaps remembering a loved one you have lost recently or giving thanks for what you do have in your life right now.

5th WSF World Spirit Forum 2008

I was honoured to receive an invitation from WSF President Sesto Giovanni Castagnoli and Gabriele Castagnoli asking me to attend the 5th WSF World Spirit Forum in January 2008, in Arosa, Switzerland. I'm not able to make it this time but am equally as honoured to contribute a written piece* to this exciting, inspiring event, and pass on the information below!

Sending many blessings to Arosa for much positive shifting and inspirational ideas!

5th WSF World Spirit Forum 2008

The 5th WSF World Spirit Forum will take place from January 20th to 23rd, 2008 in Arosa, Switzerland under the subject of “(X)change consciousness”.


The WSF is an international Forum, conducted in English, which provides inspiration, great networking possibilities, and revitalizes people of different origins for their private and professional life as well as for their other spheres of influence.The WSF World Spirit Forum 2008 will not be an ordinary congress. There will not be a succession of presentations, but open space for conversations and experiences, enhanced and supported by spiritual rituals. All attendees are contributors.

As the challenge of the Climate Change especially addresses the eternal human theme of Change, the initiators want to collaborate with all contributors on the answers to the following questions:

Does the Global Climate Change demand a Global Spirituality?
How to use Our Knowledge wisely?

INSPIRING and ACTIVE YOUTH at the WSF 2008

Like in the years before a special part of the WSF will be youth leaders and active youth from all over the world coming together at the WSF 2008.

At the WSF World Spirit Forum 2005 a gathering of about 15 youth leaders from around the world (mostly activists in the fields of interfaith, spirituality and ecology), established the WSYC World Spirit Youth Council at the WSF Forum. In 2006 25 of them met in Arosa. Meanwhile the WSYC has gone its own way: to conferences in Nepal, Japan and in February 2008 to Thailand. The goal for the WSF World Spirit Forum 2008 is to have youth from the different fields of politics, science, economics, culture, religion and society again meeting and building a long lasting, evolving group of international youths under the encouragement of the WSF.

For more information both about the WSF Forum 2008 and the “Inspiring and Active Youth” please contact Gabriele Castagnoli under communication@worldspiritforum.org or find detailed information directly on our homepage www.worldspiritforum.org/en .

Secrets for the Soul: Due to an overwhelming response to my recent article in Body + Soul (thank you!!!), with requests for email sessions pouring in, simultaneously occurring just as I get into preparing the final draft of ‘A New Chapter’ for print (the last few weeks have been very “yay!..panic panic!…yay!”) I have had to cut back the number of days I do in person sessions. As a result I will no longer be available at Secrets for the Soul. Thank you to all there, especially Kim and Mario for your support and well wishes. Wishing you continuing success, growth and abundance! Xox

“Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for your time & guidance. It was like I was reading something I already knew (but didn’t see clearly) and I was covered in goosebumps whilst reading my session. I was overjoyed to get your take on the career thing, as it is how I feel inside but there’s a lot of fear around it- but now I realise the fear is around what other people will think of my career choice and not about me being scared of it. And thankyou for your insights about my relationship. I recognised every word & feel really empowered. I realise I have to do the hard yards myself & make ‘the commitment to me’ a reality but your guidance has given me much-needed support & clarity, thank you.” Lisa Mount, Sydney, Australia, Email Session

November Monthly Visions

What’s Happening this Month
Embracing Global and Cosmic events to help Create your Reality,
written by Dana Mrkich.
http://www.danamrkich.com/


The energies have been hard and heavy lately. All our shadow stuff is coming up, along with any distaste and resistance we have to the shadow within ourselves and others. The shadow by it’s very nature is all that we have disowned. It is all that we find hard to accept and digest – the good, the bad and the ugly. Why would something good be in our shadow? Well for some of us it is just as hard to accept our power, courage, beauty, talent and assertiveness, as it is to accept the parts of us that are weak, vulnerable, disorganised, procrastinating, scared or controlling. Yet this is why we are here. To accept all these parts of ourselves, because every single bit is what makes us who we are.

There was a beautiful Chrysocolla crystal in the shop last week. It was like a large, palm-sized, smooth, shiny turquoisey-blue green rock. One small corner of it was chipped. Yet that made me love it all the more. I felt like this crystal represented how we are. We all have parts of us that are chipped or wounded, aspects of ourselves that have been hurt or fear being hurt, qualities within us we don’t like or understand. But just like this naturally chipped Chrysocolla we are as Nature and Spirit made us. We are all perfect in our imperfection.

It can be really hard to accept parts of our shadow as it raises up to face us. However, our resistance to it makes the process harder still. It sends us spiralling into fear and anxiety. We just want to spend the whole day under the doona. Panic ensues, we feel like we can’t breathe, like we’re being dunked underneath water again and again. If this has been your reality lately, hello, some part of your shadow has come a’knocking and you are trying to postpone answering the door! Give it up. Get out of bed and see who’s there. You might actually end up liking what you see.

Shining a light on all that we most avoid or resent, by loving it and embracing it with compassion, allows it to be seen in a new way. The irony is that while some of the stuff in our shadow is the worst of us, it is also some of the best of us. We hide from our power because we’re scared we won’t know what to do with it, or that it will somehow hurt us or others, but by bringing it to the light we can use it in an enlightened way! Keeping it in the shadow will ensure it will have the very effect we most fear. Isn’t that the irony! Our shadow most often is revealed to us by another’s behaviour. What is it about someone lately that is really pushing your buttons, triggering your worst fears, or sending you into anger, frustration or impatience? That very behaviour is a mirror for the part of your shadow that is seeking acknowledgement and acceptance.

The time has come to bring all of who we are out into the light. We don’t have to be ashamed or scared of aspects of ourselves anymore. They no longer have to be hidden or shoved away into dark, deep corners. Just for today, take your whole self out of the closet. Face it as it is, and decide to love it as it is. Do the same with the people you encounter. If it feels good, do it again tomorrow. You have nothing to lose, and a whole lot more of yourself to gain.

The Hawaiian healing process ho 'oponopono
To get a mind-blowing perspective on what loving all parts of us can do this is a must read: The World's Most Unusual Therapist by Dr Joe Vitale

Recent letter from a reader who has tried it (used here with permission):

Dear Dana,

Recently I read Joe Vitale's book Zero Limits. I was inspired to say the I LOVE YOU mantra as much as possible. To increase my focus on this I started to write I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I CAN DO IT on sticky notes. I put these notes all over my house and cars.
Some results of this are that my wife Jackie and I have a much better relationship.
She was real happy when I bought her 87 year old mother hearing aids so she could hear. We bought her a new tv with closed captioning so she could understand better what she was watching. At each step of the way her mother said " Don't waste your money. I am just an old bag" After she got these things she really appreciated it.
One problem she drives an old falling apart rusted 1998 Ford Escort and is not too happy with it. I said I LOVE YOU 1 or 2 thousand times and coughed up some money to buy her a scion xB 2008. It is much improved model with a 2.5 liter camery engine. It is a head turner with a lot of zip. I thought it will give her a bit of a paradigm shift. Maybe she will decide to live well for another 15 years. What I learned from Joe Vitale and Dr Hew Len seems to be working.
Right now here in Pendleton Ore a cowboy town in Eastern Oregon I am sensing a consciousness shift. Many people around me seem to be getting better in different ways.
Your web site has inspired me. I am going through relationship changes and making progess.
Thanks so much! Fritz Miller

9 Nov – New Moon Scorpio
Ah, how timely. Just as we’re discussing the shadow here we have a new moon in Scorpio – the sign of transformation! This is a perfect time to surrender to whatever process of change is occurring in your life. Scorpio is represented by three symbols: the scorpion, the eagle and the phoenix. The Scorpion part of us can get suspicious of change, it is always at the ready to attack and defend itself should someone come along and say: the way you are isn’t working, it’s time to have a little shift. The Eagle part of us is a little more enlightened. It uses change as an opportunity for greater freedom, to expand its wings, and fly into new situations with wisdom and higher perspective. The Phoenix is the King of Change. He has no problem burning down a whole building if it has served its purpose, knowing he will rise from the ashes, bigger, better, faster, stronger. This weekend it’s your choice as to which Scorpio symbol to use, to guide any transformational processes you may be going through.


15 – 17 Nov – The Sky’s The Limit
Central Hall Westminster, London
A collaboration between Be the Change, the World Future Council, and the Converging World – in association with the new economics foundation, Rights and Humanity and Artists Project Earth, and supported by media partner The Independent newspaper. Join with some of the world’s best ‘thinkers and doers’ discussing and designing the changes we all want to see in the world: http://bethechange.org.uk/

24 Nov – Full Moon Gemini/Uranus Direct in 14 degrees Pisces
Today’s full moon coincides with Uranus, planet of the unexpected, turning direct after 5 months retrograde motion. We’ll start feeling this at least two weeks ahead of time. Anything could happen from sudden breakthroughs to breakdowns. I’m getting the image of the tail of a dragon that started swirling around the time Uranus started its retrograde phase (June 24). Today’s the day it goes ka-choo, smack, knocking all the chess pieces off the board. “It’s time for a new game,” says the dragon. “I told you it was coming, but no-body listens to me do they?” Listen to the dragon. He may breathe fire, but that’s only when he feels unheard. Ride the tail and let him toss you where you’re meant to be. He has a great sense of direction and good aim, you’ll like where you land – eventually.

October Astro

What’s Happening this Month

Embracing Global and Cosmic events to help Create your Reality, written by Dana Mrkich.

11 October – New Moon Libra

A New Moon in Libra is the perfect time to address any imbalance issues in the realm of relationship. Libra calls for nothing less than total harmony and equilibrium, so if you are doing more giving than receiving, or more receiving than giving, have a think about what you need to do to balance the scales a bit more. Libra also rules the planet Venus. Today she finally comes out of the shadow of her recent retrograde period. If a relationship has gone through some upheaval over the last few months now is the time for the dust to clear, allowing you to see what it has all been for. For some, it is clear that you can no longer move forward with that relationship in the way it has been going. It is either time to let it go and move on, or make some changes allowing a renewal of commitment built on a sturdier foundation. With Venus involved the key here is self-love and value: what does your heart truly want and deserve? Allow your heart to have it.

12 October – 1 November – Mercury Retrograde Scorpio

With miscommunications happening left, right and centre, issues with cars and computers already starting, mail gone awry and people calling the wrong number, it’s no news that Mercury has started his regular backward trek. All we can do is ride through this period as best as possible. Mercury is the little trickster of the zodiac as well as the communication planet so he likes to play with us sometimes. Don’t expect schedules to go as planned, have a chillaxed approach if someone forgets an appointment with you or you find yourself running late everywhere you go. Back up your hard drives and double check to whom you are sending messages before you hit send! It’s also a great time to revise any documents, manuscripts, contracts or negotiations that were put in place some time ago and now need reviewing. This time will pass soon enough and come November we can all go sailing smoothly forward once again!


26 October – Full Moon Taurus

It can’t get much yummier than a full moon in Taurus! Taurus rules all the good things in life. Think of a decadent Roman emperor surrounded by a sumptuous banquet of delicious food, the finest wine, the most beautiful women, musicians playing, people dancing. That was, for him, Pleasure City. So, what’s Pleasure City for you? Imagine it, then go and do it this weekend. Whatever for you is pure indulgence, total bliss and pampering, let yourself immerse in it and do so without guilt – enjoy every single moment knowing it’s good for you. A happy you means happiness for all around you.

The main difference is obviously instead of getting your info in spoken form, it comes through in pages of written text that you then receive in a word document. Once received you are welcome to respond with your comments and further questions! For more info: http://www.danamrkich.com/readings/index.html

Dana, Just wanted to pass on that the reading you just gave me was the best one I've ever had. It resonated with me on a host of levels and while driving home I felt a whole new outlook/outcome was possible after the hole I had dug for myself. Kind regards, Keith. In person session, Sydney, Australia.

Urth.TV New Clips

Introducing the World Future Council Series! Each week Urth.TV will feature new clips from this series on the Dana Mrkich channel.

The World Future Council was born from an idea held by founder Jakob von Uexkull for a global council made up of wise elders, thinkers, pioneers and young leaders. Officially launched in May 2007, 50 Council Members came together to address key issues including environment, peace and human rights, and specifically to bridge the gap between ideas and action. The World Future Council Series is a collection of clips that will appear on Urth.TV over the coming months, each introducing a Council Member. Each Councillor was asked three questions: 1. What is the most important issue that the WFC must deal with? 2. What one action can the WFC do to generate change most effectively? 3. How can you personally contribute to the WFC’s goals? The series appears with great thanks to the interviewer and producer Marcus Morrell, the featured Councillors and all at the World Future Council.

To watch these clips on Urth TV, please register to become a member of Urth (registration is free): www.urth.tv then go to Dana’s channel: http://www.urth.tv/content/blogcategory/203/355/

September 2007 Monthly Visions

What’s Happening this Month
Embracing Global and Cosmic events to help Create your Reality,
written by Dana Mrkich
http://www.danamrkich.com/


As we enter September buckle up, hold on and get ready for a particularly stomach churning part of the rollercoaster ride that is life these days! Bit of a pre-warning – this part of the ride might make you feel a little giddy and queasy as it hurtles you at rapid speed through dark, scary tunnels. It will trigger any little or big fears you have about life, love, change, death, birth, transformation, movement and stepping into a greater part of your true self and new reality. You might feel a little vulnerable as all that seemed familiar is now falling (or being thrown) out the window. We are going through (yet another) intense process of letting go that started with the Aug 28 Lunar Eclipse, to be followed by eventual renewal and rebirth, culminating in the Sep 11 Solar Eclipse. In the middle of that we have Pluto turning direct on Sep 7. On Sep 9 Venus follows him, going direct herself.

This period reminds me of a quote I once read: When God closes one door, he always opens another – but it’s hell in the hallway!!

Sep 7 – Pluto goes direct 26 degrees Sagittarius

If Pluto is hitting your chart you’ll know it. You got a sign a while ago saying it’s time to change - your job, relationship, self, home, friends, a habit or all of the above. You said I will, I will. Some time went by, and Pluto tapped you on the shoulder once again, this time a bit firmer saying it’s time to change. Okay okay, you started dragging your feet, knowing you had to, knowing you should, knowing things would be much better if you did, but ahhhh, it all seemed too scary and too hard. So you delayed. Now, Pluto is giving you one last chance. CHANGE he bellows, and lord help you if you don’t he will do it for you, and that isn’t going to be pretty!

Pluto is Mr Transformation, and if he wants to boot you out from an old reality that is no longer working and move you into a new reality that is more aligned with who you are, he will do it even if he has to drag you kicking and screaming!! So the key here to a peaceful transformation is to surrender to the process. Let go of whatever it is you are holding onto knowing it has served its purpose. Let in the new life that awaits. Grieve, mourn, cry, you are going through a death, the death of part of your self, the death of a part of your life. Yet celebrate, laugh and smile because the death is allowing you to step into something much bigger and better, the birth of a new part of you, and a new chapter in your life containing things you have never experienced before! It is like the labour process before a child is born. Yes it is hard, yes it hurts, but to stop halfway is not an option. Keep going, keep breathing, TRUST that your higher self knows exactly why this is all happening and that it's all happening in divine right timing and order, and Pluto will ensure you safe passage through the birth canal.


Sep 9 – Venus goes direct 16 degrees Leo

Finally Venus finishes her retrograde phase and turns forward again. The last six weeks have triggered all kinds of relationship trials, tests and issues. Relationships that were meant to end ended, and relationships that were challenged in order to get to a stronger place are now safely emerging out the other side of any turbulent seas. If a relationship had some uncertainty around it, you will know where you stand this week. The whole point was to help you get clear with your values: What do you truly need, want, desire and deserve in love and life? What do you need to do, and who do you need to become within yourself, in order to create those things? It’s a good time to take out your journal and answer these questions so that as Venus goes direct and sends you moving forward, you know what it is you want to be moving forward to!

Sep 11 – New Moon/Solar Eclipse 18 degrees Virgo

All the astro activity lately has been building up to this point: the Sep 11 Solar Eclipse. We have had our dark nights and stormy seas, and today we wake up with the dawn of a new day. We look outside our window and we see that we have landed in a very different space or place to where we were even a few short days, weeks or months ago. The transition may have been exciting, traumatic, bittersweet, devastating, joyous or any number of a hundred other emotions. Uranus is opposing the Sun during this Eclipse so any events will likely be unexpected or breaking free from the expected which can be so liberating. Towers may fall in our personal lives, and new towers may emerge. The irony of this happening on Sep 11. Yet from the dust will rise new hope and new energy just like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. We have earned the new state we find ourselves in and can proudly embrace all the aspects of ourselves we had to face to get here: wisdom, trust, owning our power and unique gifts, loving ourselves enough to be who we really are, knowing our strength and having the courage to change.

Sep 21 – Peace Day

In 1999 Jeremy Gilley embarked on a journey to get the UN to establish an international day of peace: a day of global ceasefire and non-violence. He documented his efforts and as a result created a spectacularly moving, emotional and inspirational film “Peace One Day” (I highly recommend it) which included the achievement of his goal: In 2001 the UN passed a resolution that established a fixed date in the calendar for Peace Day – September 21.

Last year 27.6 million people from 200 countries did something to celebrate Peace Day. Go to the site to watch a short clip explaining the Peace One Day journey and get ideas about how you can get involved on the day: http://www.peaceoneday.org/home.aspx



Sep 23 – Spring Equinox (Southern Hemisphere); Autumn Equinox (Northern Hemisphere)


An equinox happens only twice a year (the other time being March 21) when the duration of day and night are equal. (The word equinox means ‘equal night’.)

In the Southern Hemisphere today celebrates the Spring Equinox, marking the official end of the old year and the beginning of the new. Now is the time to plant seeds that will pave the way for new directions and bring the fruits of the coming season. The days are now bringing more light, and with more light comes more clarity, wisdom, illumination and forward movement into those areas that have until now had to be in a kind of hibernation period.

In the Northern Hemisphere today marks the Autumn Equinox. It is a sacred time to celebrate the end of summer, to give thanks for all you have received in the days past, and to prepare for a time of retreating inward for rest.

Sep 27 – Full Moon Aries

The emotional moon turns full in the fiery and impulsive sign of Aries. Today will see many in ‘act first think later’ mode for better or worse! At one end of the spectrum be patient on the road today and don’t indulge in any acts of road rage! At the other end your pioneering and passionate spirit might be all ablaze today as something comes to fruition at last!

August Monthly Visions

What’s Happening this Month: August 2007
Embracing Global and Astro events to help Create your Reality, written by Dana Mrkich.
http://www.danamrkich.com/


28 July-11 Sep – Venus Retrograde in Virgo/Leo
Venus continues her backwards trek throughout August, primarily affecting those with natal planets around 2 degrees Virgo, or 2 degrees Pisces by opposition. You can generate a free chart at http://www.astro.com/ to find out if you’re in the firing line.
Venus rules love, relationships and money, and our sense of self-value. If any of these areas of your life are due for review then you can be sure that the Universal Examiner will be paying you a visit during this period. If you’re doing well and heading in the right direction, you’ll get a nice tick and he’ll be on his way. If not, you’ll be asked to pull up your boot straps and change a few things: face your relationship issues and do what you need to do, have some long overdue deep and meaningfuls about what you truly need, want and deserve, learn to finally love yourself after much avoidance, get sorted with your money issues etc. Love-wise, for some this change will come in the form of a renewed relationship, for others it will come in the realization that it’s time to let go and move on.

With the eclipses happening during the Venus Retrograde phase you can be sure that whatever is removed from your life right now has come to its timely end for a reason, and whatever is being turned upside down and inside out is actually being put back the right way round in alignment with the true needs of your soul. If Venus is making your emotional ocean a little choppy right now, get yourself a piece of rose quartz and have it near you day and night. Ask that the transition you are experiencing unfolds with as much love, grace and ease as possible. Ask for the rose quartz to help your heart with gentle healing, and ask your guides and angels to send you higher understanding so that you may move through this time with inner peace and blessings to all involved.

13 August – New Moon Leo

It’s a bit of strange New Moon. It’s happening in the sign of Leo while Venus is retrograde which is kind of like finally getting to the opening night of a play in which you’re the star, the curtain draws back, the audience is waiting, and you realize you have no idea what your lines are. Or you get a bout of stage fright and start asking yourself "Am I good enough? What if I can't do it? What if the audience walk out because I'm so terrible!!" All your motors might be revving right now making you feel like you are ready to throw yourself into some new creative project, romance, job or other undertaking. Meanwhile the pit crew are scrambling around you changing tyres and giving your engine a last once over before you are allowed to accelerate forward. Thank god for the pit crew though because they’re there to make sure that when you finally do catapult forward you are in as good a shape as possible, and know that you ARE good enough! So, get your vision boards happening and know that if things don’t take off till mid-Sep (Venus goes direct) or even mid-Oct (Venus comes out of her shadow period) it’s all okay, there is a reason!

28 August – Full Moon Pisces/Lunar Eclipse 4degrees Pisces
Lunar Eclipses, for better or worse, tend to be about the letting go of something, or someone: usually feminine or emotional in nature. There is often much sadness involved, yet a lunar eclipse can also be liberating. It can free us of that which it was time to say goodbye to. On a positive note many inner shifts happen at this time, allowing us to let go of old beliefs, behaviours and emotional or energetic obstacles that are blocking the full expression of our true essence. For some it will be intense, for others subtle, either way it will be powerful and ultimately beneficial for the higher purpose of your soul. Look to your natal chart to see where 4 degrees Pisces lies, or 4 degrees Virgo by opposition, (also check to see if you have planets in that area including a few degrees either side) to get some idea of what area of your life might be affected.
