"The limitless riches of God are flowing to me as fast as I can receive and use them and as I prosper, other people prosper as well"
I am starting with this quote because we all need to remember what is important. That is why I have decided to put my family on a reality diet.
Yes, reality. Why do you expect the Universe, God, The Angels to do all the work for you? Because you have sacrificed time and faith and hope , that you now have a "blessing" and God will take good care of you?
Don't hold your breath OK, The Universe doesn't really care at all about your feelings. Ask your self what you are before you ask who you are.
You are already God !
As I see it from an astrological point of view, man has always struggled for survival and even through what we consider these times 'modern times" man has made sacrifices, frozen to death, died of starvation, survived wars with missing limbs and died over and over again.
So here we are at a new beginning with Uranus leading the way. Yikes, if we are to take history as an example, look at the 1930's and 40's. There were so many revolutionary new ideas and some of the ones that took hold were the most extreme ones. Like Fascism and of course Hitler's notion of what was good for his country. Could it be that the German people were starving and were willing to fall in line for food and safety? Did they suffer anyhow? Yes. Everyone was scared I know that!
The new beginnings astrologers talk about lately are about understanding that simple is better, that forgiveness is essential and moving on is important.
"I love you, I bless you, I am free and you are fee to move into new glorious situations"
Living on the cheap~
eat lentil dishes twice a week
eat less meat
less carry out
more grains
get some rice and have that instead of pasta
eat more salad ( lettuce is cheap)
eat more kale (cheap)
avoid pre mixed or frozen foods
avoid anything that comes in a box and then a plastic packet of melty cheese looking sauce ( I mean how hard is it to make a rough and cheese and milk?)
Awesome Lentil Soup
big pot filled with water
add one bag of lentils
1 onion whole and peeled and intact
1 whole head of garlic
bay leaves ( I use 3)
peppercorns
whole allspice (optional)
1 tbsp salt
1/4 c olive oil
oregano leaves
paperica
cook for about 2 hours on medium
in a separate pan, heat up some olive oil, take out the onion and garlic with a slotted spoon and fry it up in the pan, smash it good and make sure you take the garlic peels out. Add more paparica and 1 tbsp flour and make a loose paste like mixture. Now add some of the broth from the soup to loosen it and put the whole thing back with the soup. Add salt pepper to taste and feast with some good bread and soup!
If you still feel hungry, have some more. May it nourish your soul:)

aries aries aries
Today June 6th, Moon Jupiter Uranus conjunction, wow!
I have always thought of Jupiter as a male rather than a female deity in astrology but lately I can really see the women in my life getting feisty and leading just fine thank you very much.
Today with the moon shedding some well needed compassion and valor our way, we can realize to nurture our families and our loved ones. During this time we have brought understanding with us. We have with us Jupiter's year long trip through Pisces (deep, emotional, water,sacrificing, over indulgent, good with money, facing the truth about money)
Jupiter brings big things, abundance and big fallouts, or should I say giant ass crap killing our coast lines and seriously causing a disaster of grand proportion on Earth. Hey how about this, no off shore drilling and all you big fat cat, arrogant oil investors out there accept the new way and start living more simply before we all perish in an abominable long torturous death all because you don't want to quit wasting our planet!
Oh, and how about the all poison that gets sprayed on the lawns ( just for show, dude) and freaking gets dumped right in to the water system? Do you even realize that the water that is on our planet has been here all these billion years? Water is life. If earth is to exist another few billion years, the salt that we eat that has been a part of us on this planet in the future is not only going to have trace minerals but also heavy metal and toxic residue from plastic, mercury, dioxin, prosac and maybe people will change! We will have evolved in to leather faced sick people who only live till 30 and babies are made in a lab.
Give me a bit of dirt and a goat or two or a nice healthy cow and some damm good patchouli! Give me cold pressed olive oil and give me courage to face the day.
Now as Jupiter leaps into Aries, someone has got to take the reins.
Toss the uncanny Uranus in the group and you may get yourself some chaos. You may say things out of the blue and shock people.
Yesterday at work, as we were all standing there, a coworker came up to me and asked, "what is the best thing for stress?"
I took a second and could not for the life of me say, be complex, or passionflower, or vitamin c, or the glorious red clover tea. I said SEX a bit too loudly and my manager looks at me like, "watch your mouth" I may have used the word "f_ck" somewhere in that encounter too. What do you expect from a Virgo woman? I forgave myself right quick and decided that she is right, it is better to be dignified, just don't get all crazy about it and get so caught up in doing a good correct job that you forget what is important at the end of the day. Smile, laugh even, dance, sing something nice, be kind.
" I say words that delight, love, respect and prosper others and myself"

Harnesing Saturn in Libra
My friend Star is one of the most unique women I am blessed to have met in Costa Rica. She is a retired ex stripper/dancer extrordinare' (Scorpio) who seems to enjoy investing and spending money while always scheming and buying..It is crazy I tell you! She has closets of clothing from the day and fur coats galore in shades of deep purple and fuchsia!
During one one of our many talks about her life and mine she told me of the kind of women who she had worked with in "the business". She said you had to be pretty and have talent to make big money and of course Star being a lover of astrology had remembered everyone's sign that she had worked with.
She said that there were putanas, women who would steel and do drugs, and there were women who were so cunning that they would pretty much wipe out a guys wallet without any remorse.
So focused and cold at the same time.
The most notorious in that dance hall was a Libra lady. She would lure them with her rare beauty and quick wit. They wanted to spend all their money with her.
Saturn in Libra will give us an ability to harness this type of energy.
I am not saying you should start dancing for men or anything. I am thinking that Libra energy attracts some mighty fine situations where she must use her wit to get what she wants.
One could apply this to every aspect of their daily life.
How much is something worth?
As much a people are willing to pay for it.
Master the psychology of people want and give it to them. All work is like that.
Maybe I am just an old putana
for soap hahaaa

Andreas at Hotel Tilawa
After a month in Costa Rica, I mustered up enough courage to go to the big hotel and have the interview with Jean Paul the owner of one of the finest works of art in architecture like ever! Beautiful really!
During our interview, I presented my ideas and he loved everything I had so we ventured into "high season" with me planning and cooking and Andreas running the whole place.
Andreas was an excellent manager of restaurant service having gone to study in Switzerland to become a chef. We made tons of money together for three months and after that, the tourists went home and we would wait till next "high season".
That guy could lure a customer in to complete contentment. He made treats and drinks showed me true customer service skills in so many ways and we would talk the whole time as he was also well read. I brought all my books and he brought all of his.
The rhythm in that kitchen was sweet I must say. I made bread every day and he planned exotic heavenly meals for the guests and we made these amazing feasts together. People loved our food. That guy is probably still classy somehow like me:)
He was a Taurus, good men really.
A good working relationship is like a dance.

Ode To The Past
Even though it is behind us, it colors us, makes us strong, makes us recognize more of the truth and makes us realize our divinity.
Don't be afraid, it is not wrong to think of yourself as divine.
This concept may not be so acceptable with the religious organizers but it is true all the way!
Libra Capricorn Moon Sag rising, Aries, Capricorn Moon Taurus rising Mars in the first, You go all the way!
Hey there, one of a kind Capricorn lady with that Scorpio Moon, I love the way you can lead with out following, love that. I could go on and on. My lovely Cancer friend, you are so pretty and graceful... and my sharp witted Scorpio, well, there is allot I could say, just know that all is well!
When did you realize, that you are God within you?
For me it was in Costa Rica, nice, right? Well one would think. It was grueling and laden with heaviness. I had gotten to a point where I had to work for every grain of rice and bread that we ate, (always with the starches, I am ) and to have something like feta cheese was not unheard of but it was expensive. I asked God to help me. Where was he all this time? Was I communicating with the wrong guy? Seriously?
One morning as I was walking down the mountain to catch the bus, I started singing. It was 4:30 in the morning, the bats were flying all around me, no one was anywhere, it was just about daylight and certainly daylight in my mind!
I sang. I sang it all out lout. Everything I had been thinking but was afraid to say. I was afraid to say what I wanted, what I needed and that my concept of who God is.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rame
Rama Rama Hare Hare
I realized that I was not "actually" worshiping a blue skinned deity, but my own blue skinned divinity.
I started singing about the things I wanted to change.
"Let me tell you a little story about a gal name Ann, she worked hard and she took care of her lair. Then one day as she was working for their food, out through her mind cam a bubbling crude...of ideas that is, of nurturing thoughts and golden dreams which are real.
Well the next thing you know is Annie's a millionaire, she packed up them kids and got them out of there. They are learning Japanese and washing their hair..with nice soap and warm water."
I found a Buddhist girl there who printed a copy of the seed sounds for me and I sang them. I sang them to the bats going home in the morning as I descended from the mountain.
I sang about Lakshmi and how she is always shown to be on golden wings and provided for. I chanted "shrim" the seed sound for Lakshmi. It worked. Within three months of my cosmic creation I was home. My mother, my father, all my children around me, hot water again and no bugs eating me..I do like that:)

New Moon Merc goes Direct
A Jupiter inspired new moon in Taurus and the fact that Uranus is about to go into Aries seems big to me, I can tell you that right now.
If you are already feeling hot under the collar and at times ready to burst into tears, you may be under the influence.
Do one thing at a time and make sure you are thorough.
"I intuitively do the right thing always"
Things are fast paced right now. Focus and everything is going to be fine. Aries is about loyalty, valor, righteousness even when actually being in wrongness. Make sure you understand your motives well.
I mean, who am I to say but a geeky dame in Livonia,lol.
This new moon in Taurus may bring some rare beauty your way so make some good wishes of what you want. You might want to write it down. Put it up on a wall. Take a look at it now and again and the after a while you'll see a beautiful thing happening. I call it my wall of wishes even though it is on my bedroom door.
I want to tell you right now that I am so excited about the future, the past and the here and now isn't bad either. It is all in the way you look at it. Bathing will help you appreciate this.
Listen to me, clean the tub, fill it up with water and sink in there. ( please note that a bath such as this starts with an already clean bod)
Take your precious bar of whatever you love and make a cream in your hands.
You might want to do a little mask of vinegar and rhassoul on your face and as the steam rises and the rhassoul dries, you have had an opportunity to think, intend, motivate and charm your self.
Rhassoul Soap with Myrrh and Tamanu would be nice for such a bath~

the burn
I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the last thought I had prior to the sequence of events too. And it is still as shocking today as it was then.
It was big I tell you!
While working as a prep cook for George the Greek, I managed to master the job, help on the line now and again and chop and beat eggs for him. So why did I hate it so bad that I would get my self so hurt there? Who knows! It is too long to even try to dissect the spiritual reasons why. All I can say is I was not content to work with those boys. They were condescending and not that well read..so we had no point of reference for good conversation or any kind of respectful relationship at work.
That particular day, I had prepped 4 cases of lettuce, tomatoes, onion slices, and chop for the coney, ham, made burger patties and got all the carry out prep done so that I almost kind of liked the job..almost! JJ the Albanian asked me to carry a giant ass pot to the prep area and so I helped him. Grease and I slipped! Soup all over me! Realization of death and succumbing, inevitable. I lived.
Today I met a girl who was burned on over 80% of her body instead of a mere 5%..wow!
I told her about Tamanu oil. I showed her my arm where the scar has diminished to about a third of what it was. I told her that maybe it would help.
It is a good choice if you have an extreme issue for sure. Tamanu is good for just about any first aid you can think of and I love that at first it is a hard green nut and only becomes healing after a period of time where as it dries, it also ferments and produces its healing oil. During this time Tamanu brings forth its magic.
In Pacific island folk medicine, tamanu oil is applied liberally to cuts, scrapes, burns, insect bites and stings, abrasions, acne and acne scars, psoriasis, diabetic sores, sunburn, dry or scaly skin, blisters, eczema, herpes sores.
Let me leave you with a few words to reflect Uranus in Aries~
Uranus is the bringer of change, usually suddenly, unexpectedly, and with an element of shock. It is a catalyst of upheaval, and it is often disruptive and with little to no warning. It's about moving on. Uranus is referred to as the lord of lightening, thunder, electricity, and called the Great Awakener. With Uranus, you may expect the unexpected, and events happen sooner rather than later.
