Here is what I like to do lately. If you have yet to see an episode of this Sci Fi show then let me warn you, it is addictive. I absolutely adore the show and don’t know why USA stopped production. Aren’t they owned by NBC? Anyway, ENJOY!
This year we are graced with a second Full Moon in Scorpio, which is part of a grand square with Sun/Venus in Taurus, Saturn in Virgo and Neptune in Aquarius. Accompanying this grand square is an equally demanding Yod with South Node in Leo as the focal planet inconjunct Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Pisces. And you thought the last Scorpio Full Moon was intense? Get ready for the truth to come reigning down on us like a firestorm. Neptune in Aquarius rules a deep longing for change. It also rules the delusion of change. Open your eyes, your ears and mind. See clearly all the way through to the truth. Reject false claims, plans, and wanna-be leaders who offer the same old wine in a brand new bottle. Saturn in Virgo rules a strict adherence to tireless, selfless work for the healing of others. And Sun/Venus in Taurus is all about the individual effort each of us puts into making change happen. Jupiter in Capricorn is telling us that conservation of resources can be enlivening and life-affirming, especially if we are willing to give up the old ideas South Node in Leo ideas of instant gratification of desires, and step firmly into the Uranus in Pisces stream of pure conscious awareness. The ordinary is extraordinary if you are willing to be present fully for it. How much longer can you say it is someone else’s responsibility or feel powerless to change the world? How much more can you blame others for your own condition? How many more times can you call yourself a victim without looking at your own ability to just let go and heal? Yes, Scorpio is tough love incarnate: see it as it is, not as you wish it to be, and then deal with it in as life-supporting a way as possible. We can each in every moment make the choice to be real and responsible for what we output to our loved ones and coworkers and community. You are being given one more ritual chance this year to release attachment to old pain and arise like a phoenix from the ashes of burned off karma; freed from narcissistic self-obsession and ready to help others heal their own pain. You have the power to change! Visualize yourself as a snake, shedding its dead skin to reveal gleaming new colors. - The GodStar
Our pilot program is based in Gulu, Uganda. We are setting up small on site birthing centers in refugee camps where women can come for comprehensive services, counseling, education and care. We are linking with community organizations and hospitals in these areas to help “child mothers” (women who were impregnated as victims of political abduction and rape) gain access to jobs, school and childcare so that they can mother with every possible opportunity. Our goals include community sustainability, lowered maternal and infant mortality rates, lowered HIV/AIDS transmission rates from mother to child, access to supplies and local herbs, access to trauma therapy and counseling, the experience of a ‘positive’ birth to facilitate empowerment and mother/child bonding and the ability to articulate one’s story. The ability to articulate one’s story is an integral theme of the Earth Birth project. Women have always told stories as a form of information transmission and ownership of events. To have safe spaces for the sharing of taboo and traumatic events allows for understanding and processing of events in context, ownership of experience and networking among women- all of which are integral to a healthy women’s movement and improved practice of motherhood. Our spaces function as a community centers for story circles, workshops in active listening and sharing. Traditional birth attendants live throughout the refugee camps, most of them victims of war and mothers themselves. These women are the cornerstone of the birthing center sites. Our international group of midwives work with the TBAs to develop practices that are community centered, culturally competent and sustainable. The TBA’s are offered professional development, training, counseling and jobs. We are partnering with Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, school director, midwife and winner of the CNN Hero’s award to create a project that is truly of and for women’s health in this area. Safe and peaceful birth experiences are necessary for a generation that is to live without war. Earth Birth has begun fund raising and are using an incredible fund raising site called givemeaning.org. On this site anyone can develop a project and allow potential funders to see and donate. We have set up a site and now we need ‘votes’ from the community in order to make it an active project. You do not need to give money, you just have to read the description and vote for us!

Meditation can lead you to being more aware of yourself, your environment and those who are in your sphere. Without the understanding to trust the signals you receive from Source, you are defenseless and powerless over your true destiny. Taking responsibility for not trusting information provided you by Source is paramount to moving on from experiences which have left you surprised, weakened and exposed. Sure in a perfect world people should always come to one another open handed and in truth. However, reality is quite different. Many people come with undeclared and hurtful intentions. When you ignore your gut/intuition/Knowledge from Source, you open the door way for those undeclared and often times negative intentions to manifest. Take responsibility for your lack of awareness. Awareness enables you to never depend on another’s intentions for truth. Your intrinsic knowledge which flows from Source will provide you with all that you need to operate safely and effectively in the world. Your lessons will be welcome and not so painful. Open to Source and Trust the God in you. Peace, Health & Prosperity
Lakshmi is a ischiopagus conjoined twin. Her twin is termed a ‘parasite’ and stopped development in their mother’s womb. The parasitic twin and Lakshmi are fused at the torso. This has made learning to walk difficult and doctor’s have predicted that Lakshmi would not have lived further than her teen years without intervention. The Bangalore hospital has a team of 36 doctors with various specialties, who performed 27 hours of surgery for free. Lakshmi is now in recovery and has been said to be doing well. She held her mother’s hand and cried that she wanted to go too, when her parents left for the night. Lakshmi you are in my thoughts. You have already manifested the abundance and wealth for which you are already so well known. I look forward to experiencing more wealth, health and abundance through you.
Today, I received a message from spirit. It came through a new ally. She said, “Don’t worry about how it is going to come about. That is not your job.” Gleefully corrected, I slithered off and finished doing my thing. I have faith, to move any mountain, to conquer anything……… I needed that reminder and am grateful.

Father Time vs. Mother NaturePosted by: adiaha in Fun, Questions, Off My Chest, Arcane, Creative
Father Time can be a very cruel God, satisfying desires and or needs at the last possible second. In many cases, blessings come just after they were due, sending the recipient running, stretching to make it to the finished line. He always seems to be in hot pursuit of you, especially when you want to achieve or manifest. He can never just be mellow and deliver everything to you in the perfect manner at the perfect time. Nope. Father Time has to chime away in your ear, reminding you of his presence. As soon as an experience becomes unbearably enjoyable, the situation changes or worse yet, it ends. El Padre screams in the loudest whisper “Tick, tock, tick tock.” Barely audible but always present, Time is always. I have been at war with Him, fighting hard to free myself of a perceived cyclical jail and an insane mandate to march when and how I am told. So badly have I wanted freedom, that I have created my own jail. What do I need to escape this fate? My great desire is to worship all that is fertile, dark and inextricably beautiful in Gaia. I have failed my mission to command Time and not be commanded. I have forgotten my power and forgotten the ways in which Mother Nature can rally those around her to overcome Father Time aka Saturn…… The stories exists in plenitude of how Time has been overwhelmed by might and/or wit. My favorite being that of Ra and Nut.
He devises a plan and the Thrice -Great God decides to challenge Khonsu the Moon-God to a game of draughts. Tehuti wins and wins and Khonsu keeps upping the stakes to keep Tehuti interested in playing. Tehuti tells Khonsu that he will play again if Khonsu will offer light as the prize. Tehuti wins enough light to create five (5) more days and on each new day added, Nut gives birth. I too need to invoke the wit and magic of Tehuti. I anticipate intense euphoria after I beat Time. I am in control and can manifest anything at any time. I need a little help from my friends……. Saturn in Virgo is just beginning. Have you decided what needs your attention? Have you planned your defeat of El Padre?
The planet of Karma and maturation arrives in Virgo offering lessons to help propel you to the next level. Saturn encourages us to think seriously about whom we are, what we want to do and the process of getting it all done. Saturn is often seen as a negative aspect in relation to one’s chart, as often times it does signal where the greatest challenges lie. I choose to look at Saturn’s influence as beneficial. Where would we be if we did not have Saturn to move us to do the work we so often times do not want to even think about? If you believe, as I do, that Saturn loves you enough to tell you the truth about yourself, then you will be rewarded for accepting feedback. If you ignore Saturn and the lessons she offers, then you will be miserable. Saturn has a way of humbling us in a big way. Her lessons can be quite painful and usually hit you in the area you can least afford.This two and half year period of Virgo in Saturn will feel good for folks who can have a “functionary” attitude toward their destinies. Doing the work with love, passion and understanding of the importance Collective Joy, will propel many of us to heights we have never even thought possible. The trick with Saturn is to decide what you want and go after it with tenacity and passion. Take risks and be YOU! Immediate rewards usually do not surface or do so rather slowly. Take heart and know that despite the hardship, Saturn is preparing you to be the BEST you can possibly be. In Virgo Saturn is comfortable and is all about details, organization, and planning, which eventually lead to healing, growth and success. Through your hard work and the willingness to show up you will reach your goals which, will ultimately heal you. Healing, growth and success are the goal. Go forth Saturians and Prosper!
In the spirit of doing the work in direct acknowledgement of my dreams and the genius residing within, I announce that I now am offering Tarot Readings! Please view the Tarot button/page for more information………… Peace, Health and Prosperity.

Allowing blessings can sometimes be a challenge for me. I know what I want and am happy to do the work to get it. However, I often find myself being too practical and worrying more about the details instead of the larger picture. I generally get bogged down in a mental minutia, which causes me to be tired too.
I do not worship the Keeper of Time. Instead, I am a devote of the Nurturer of Freedom, Mother Nature. Despite my intense veneration of the Goddess of Freedom, I still get my ass whooped by the Father of Law and Order, Time.
Nut is Ra’s Queen and she decides she wants to have children, but Ra realizes that if Nut has a son, then her son will one day be his heir. Ra does not want to give up his crown to any one. Ra curses Nut, declaring that she not be able to bear children on any day of the year. Grieving , Nut calls Tehuti to help her. Tehuti loves Nut and says he will help and knows too, that he could never reverse the spell cast by Ra.
These are wonderous times filled with magic, grace and joy. I am surrounded by beautiful people, events, and material things. I want for nothing. It seems that whenever I think I am in need of someone or something, my desires are satisfied quickly. Yet, I am consistently reminded that there is work to be done.
Prostrate at your beautiful Divine feet, I beg you to defeat all demons which rage in my body. Kick fear. Hurl pain. Behead unconsciousness. Strangle these self-created boils, which continually create confusion and disease in my heart. Divine Mother of all Consciousness, disconnect me from entities which feed on my shakti, leaving me alone, empty, and depressed.
