Recipe to your HEART

Luck vs Blessings week is coming to a wrap up tomorrow. And today we focus on the physical aspect to connecting to our “luck” through nature’s “blessings” of reaping the fruits of our labor.

This is a recipe that has all my favorite ingredient and it has the green and the red that always remind me of grounding in my heart! Green can represent the heart chakra, luck, money, earth and Red reminds me of heart, passion, grounding, to stop and enjoy the moment.

Below you will find beautiful “Spiritual” meaning to Beets

Beets: Alchemical Spiritual Properties

Beets are powerful cleansers of blood and liver. They are amazing cancer fighters.

If blood is clean we think clearly and we have common sense.

Good food is spiritual food.

Beets are the root chakra activators; they keep us connected with Mother Earth.

They also stimulate heart chakra and help open ones heart. Beets were sacred to the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Romans used beets as an aphrodisiac.

Beetroot was used in ancient times to cure fever, digestive disorders and constipation. Beets help heal old wounds from the past. Rudolf Steiner said that “eating beets at a Full Moon will kill any worms that one might have. The effects of the root of any plant are stronger during a Full Moon.”

Full Moon in Virgo 2021

On February 27th at 12:17 AM PST the Sun and Moon oppose each other exactly, bringing us the Full Moon in Virgo. The Sun is stationed at 8 degrees 57 minutes Pisces, and the Moon is at 8 degrees 57 minutes Virgo. This Pisces/Virgo axis is very interesting, as it represents our collective unconscious (Pisces) and what we dream to be true, and our rational mind (Virgo) and what we see with our own eyes.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and the last month of the solar year. It is the sign of endings, of graduation. It is the last Water Sign of the year occurring in Winter, and symbolizes breaking the ice and preparing the ground for the seeds of Spring to sprout. Ruling the last house, it shows us what needs attention before rebirth. It is potentially the highest version of humanity, or, the least conscious, escaping responsibility. It is ruled by Neptune; the planet that shows us the fork in the road between the low road and the high road. The low road is cloudy, confused, and excuses one for fleeing from obligations; the high road delivers spiritual wisdom, compassion and creativity. So this energy provides us choices to make on how we proceed for our highest good.

Opposite this is the Virgo Full Moon. We know Full Moons are intense emotionally, and they affect our​ physical bodies as well as our behavior. When in the sign of Virgo, an Earth Sign representing the harvest; we are analyzing, organizing and taking inventory in order to learn from what worked and what didn’t in our “garden”, or life. This sign is ruled by Mercury, the messenger, and is very sharp. This is a duty bound, service oriented sign, and takes its obligations seriously. It makes us strive for perfection, and can over scrutinize and feel like a wet blanket. Again, balancing the energy to best use it.

So these two opposite energies are the topics of this event. Are you in balance between the dreamer and the physical manifestor? Do you follow through on your aspirations, or do you avoid making decisions that will commit you to possible failure? This Full Moon could bring stark realizations (Virgo) that shatter your version of reality (Pisces), and open up new perceptions of clarity. Of truth. With so much happening in our world right now, I can only speculate on how this will occur. It is global, as well as personal. There’s speculation we may have extreme weather events with water and wind, or flooding. There’s also speculation of global events that change our perspective of the truth.

My notion is always to keep an open mind, and know that I don’t know everything happening behind the scenes. In this age of Aquarius, we are meant to open our minds and hearts to freedom, for ourselves and everyone else. When we find out about the injustices happening around the globe, it enlightens us to the truth which can be very disconcerting. We must take a stand on what we learn, and how it affects our lives.

On the personal level, the Virgo Full Moon can open our eyes by digging in to find the feather of truth. The Pisces Sun can be of assistance by setting goals that are for the good of mankind, with the guidance of spiritual ambition. We each have a gift to share, a unique take on life, and now is the time to bring that forward. No more procrastination (Pisces), no more low self esteem (Virgo); time for dreaming the big dream (Pisces) and organizing your life to accomplish it (Virgo). Every sign has it’s lower and higher use of it’s energies, and it’s up to us how we use it.

So with this Full Moon, we can see the results of our plans set on the New Moon. Even bigger, we can look at the consequences of the choices we have made for ourselves and our lives to see if we were successful. With the echoes of the past year resounding in our heads, we need to clear the decks, wipe the hard drive, whatever metaphor you need for letting go of past beliefs and expectations before being reborn. We are in a new world that we are recreating. Don’t bring along the garbage on this new adventure. Let it melt away like the snow of winter, and set your sights on the renewal Spring brings.

I hope this Full Moon brings about the realizations that nothing is what it was, and under our new circumstances there is an opportunity to recreate. The sky's the limit if only you believe it. Let go of the fears that block you from climbing up the ladder for a grander view and life. Get out of your own way and access your highest version!

New Moon in Aquarius 2021

On February 11, 2021 at 11:06 AM PST we have a powerful New Moon in Aquarius. New Moons are always powerful starting points for setting goals, and new beginnings. But in the sign of Aquarius, the power is behind thinking outside the box, and not being afraid/ashamed of being different. This fixed Air Sign is bent on freedom, and will do whatever it takes to push forward to the light at the end of the tunnel. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the activator, that rattles our cages to help us find our way out.

This New Moon is extremely wonderful, as the Moon in Aquarius isn’t only accompanied by the Sun at 23 degrees. This New Moon has Mercury (communications) Retrograde at 16 degrees, Venus (values) and Jupiter (growth/expansion) conjoined at 12 degrees, and Saturn (the taskmaster) at 6 degrees. This “stellium” or grouping of planets and luminaries are transiting together to accentuate the message; MOVE FORWARD NOW! The beauty of this energy is it is very detached in a healthy way. It is grounded in hope and fulfilling wishes through group interaction. Not a time to go it alone, except for the time of contemplation and meditation, as that is when you will get your inspiration.

Part of this is Mars (action) at 18 degrees Taurus, and Uranus (the game changer) at 7 degrees Taurus; squaring this stellium. What does that mean? Squares bring challenges, or create issues that disclose where we need to find the middle ground in order to move forward. Everything is pointing to looking at this grouping of planets and luminaries as motivators to move on our highest goals. With these all being in fixed signs, stubbornness can get in the way of letting go. Look to where you are holding fast to the past, or things that no longer serve you. Aquarius is a very progressive sign and wants the best for all of humanity.

So, on this occasion, it is a perfect opportunity to write your list of goals, hopes, dreams and wishes. Don’t stop at one thing, allow yourself to fill the page with everything that your heart beckons you to reach for. Once you’ve finished your list, take time to set up your sacred space, and put your list in front of you. One by one read each one, and close your eyes and IMAGINE how that would look. How you would feel. What a difference it would make in your life. Spend as much time with each entry, giving it it’s full due of joy, peace and love.

Once you have completed your journey, take your list and burn it while watching the smoke trail up to the sky where it is received and prepared. Your goal is not to doubt what is for your highest good is on the way. Stay true to your dreams of a future you wish to be part of. Don’t look back, look forward. You will find you are freed from all that which limited you in the past if only you do the work to get there.

So remember always you are a spiritual being having a human experience, and it is up to each of us to make this experience the best it can be. Seek guidance from all those who surround you in Spirit, and listen to that small voice within. The stronger the voice is the easier your life will become. Trust me.
