Readings for Mercury Retrograde

“Dawn points, and another day
Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles and slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning.” T.S.Eliot

In Native American Animal Medicine the sight of hawk was a sign to heighten awareness and prepare to receive a message. This teaching is similar to opportunities available to us during Mercury Retrograde periods (now through July 1st) when through a process of revision and review, messages may be revealed to us about the journey along our life’s path – what important thresholds we have crossed, where we are now and how we need to orient ourselves going forward.
In light of this I am now offering Tarot readings based on an ancient Druid divinatory system which reveals information not only about the past, present and future but also about the the life lessons you are evolving through now, the challenges you have recently faced and overcome and insights about what what is working for you at this time.

The readings are $60 and can be done on the phone, in written form through email or in scheduled in person (half hour) appointments at Here Today in Wilton. Gift certificates are also available. Please get in touch if you would like to book some time.

June’s Full Moon

“Alchemy is concerned with transforming soul life in such a way that one gradually comes to perceive the world not as a collection of objects but as a living, metamorphosing, creating activity.” Robert Sardello

The Moon waxes full at 22 degrees of Sagittarius Friday June 13. The Sagittarius/Gemini axis concerns the balance between the conscious mind – which gathers and analyzes information – and the higher mind -which unites duality through a philosophical or spiritual system. Pythagoras – who was trained in ancient Mystery Schools – was the inventor of what we now call the Pythagorean Theorem. In his teachings about the metaphysical meaning behind numbers he stressed “Always remember the one” – the unity which underlies duality.

At the time of the Full Moon Venus opposes Saturn – making it a good time to think about how we bring our values to life in thoughts, words and actions.
Issues of self worth or self esteem can arise during this time as well as feelings of scarcity. One of the Sabian symbols for this Full Moon is, “A woman airing an old bag through a window to give it light and sunshine.” It is best to focus on progress and future endeavors and to seek innovative solutions rather than resorting to old programming of the past.

Mars is forming a T-Square by opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto. These forces can contribute to the likelihood of increased volatility and impulsiveness and with Mercury retrograde it is best to avoid rushing, provide extra time when traveling, be extra clear with communications and double check if snafus arise rather than jumping to conclusions.

One of the other Sabian symbols for this Full Moon is, “Brightly clad nature spirits dancing in the warm dying light,” reminding us of the invisible mystery and magic of life which always surrounds us.
