October Energy Report 2014 ~ By Jennifer Hoffman | Enlightening Life
September 29, 2014

Welcome to October, which will be a welcome relief from September although it’s going to be busy, with a Mercury retrograde, two eclipses, all three personal planets changing signs (Mercury, Venus, and Mars), Pluto gaining forward motion, Saturn finally moving out of its retrograde shadow, and probably more solar flare activity. I hesitate to lean towards the positive or negative when talking about the potentials, although both sides are likely to some degree, as what that means is relative to each individual based on their own path. This is a time, though, where situations in which we have ‘run out of energy road’ are likely to be a strong focus and anything that is an energy drain will be even more so. If there’s any self sabotage happening, you will know it, and have opportunities to make course corrections.

We have had a lot of retrograde action this year, inviting us to dig deeply into our individual and collective energy baskets and remove what is no longer necessary or what no longer serves us. Mercury passes through much of the Mars retrograde degrees, including the all important 16 degree mark. What were you processing from March through July that may be coming up again for review? What didn’t change then that is taking its last gasps now? While we ‘say’ we want to let things go, we often go back and forth over the same issues,  and dragging them out as long as possible, hoping that they will change so we won’t have to let them go. It will now be clear that some situations are DOA (dead on arrival) and cannot be revived any longer. Anything that needs to be released is making room for something new. Are we willing to create space in our lives for it, by releasing anything that is now occupying that space?

But before we can know what is old or new, what brings us joy, what we are reluctant to release, what does or doesn’t serve us, we must have an outcome in mind to define what that means to us.  Whether that is love, peace, joy, and abundance, something we want to have or do, a goal or direction for our life, or an energy we want to embody, outcomes create the container for our energy flows. See my YouTube videos about energy containers by clicking here to create the new containers for your energy flows. Then, release becomes a process of moving into a new energy space, instead of reluctantly acknowledging that despite your best efforts, you failed at something you really wanted to succeed at.

Moving from healing to wholeness, becoming a 360 degree expression of our energetic potential, being in the highest aspects of our power, are all ways in which we can set intentions that define where we want energy to flow. And the right time to do that is personal and can range from our first twinge of mild discomfort to acute, chronic pain. Everyone has a different level of pain tolerance and what is bearable to one person could be intolerable to another. Too often we wait for the right moment to act, instead of taking one right action in each moment. We change when our pain becomes greater than our fear of change and sometimes it takes a while to hit our ‘pain ceiling’. Maybe this month will be the deciding point, it certainly has the potential for it.

With retrogrades we can release, review, reveal, remember, reconnect, revive, re-align, restart,  recalibrate, reconsider, and repeat, if we choose. If we don’t do anything, that is a choice as well. Eclipses are transformation and turning points, that offer glimpses into new potentials and possibilities, often by bringing up the past in new ways, and in October we have a repeat of the October 1995 eclipses. A repeating eclipse cycle plus a Mercury retrograde could bring some interesting revelations about relationships and connections, and what is ending, for the last time, and what is ready for a new beginning (new as in brand new, never been seen or used before, in the package with labels attached).

We’re also building to the December Uranus/Pluto square number 6 (one more to go after that) and that’s going to focus on the mind/spirit connection. This is where the material world and spiritual world connect, on all levels, individually and collectively. Who is the author of your reality, you, the past, the potential future, other people, or something else? Who do you give authority to, either consciously or unconsciously? While we believe that we are helpless when it comes to outside authority, it’s a reflection of who we give authority to in our lives. Being persecuted by ‘authorities’ is a powerful past life issue for many of us and it is often the root cause of our self sabotage. Be aware of this as you go through October, as it may come up multiple times.

In Libra, the Mercury retrograde repeats the Mars retrograde from December 2013 to July 2014 and this is also the sign of open enemies, which includes people who stand against you and your own self sabotage. Self limitation, self sabotage, and self judgment may be big themes for October as we’re being asked to reach into and dredge the bottom layers of our energy baskets and release what doesn’t serve our desire for peace, love, joy, and abundance in our lives and in the world. Or we can use this energy to see where we are blocking our own progress, limiting our fulfillment, and maintaining our pain levels because we are too afraid of change. We are individuals and are part of the collective, and our realities are interwoven with those of everyone in the planet. If you’re not sure how that works, post a cute video of your pet and see how long it takes to generate over a million views.

As we march onward through our journey of connection, ascension, and evolution into whole, fulfilling, 360 degree living, where we empower every aspect of ourselves and our lives, we become a united force for peace, love, and joy in the world. This is what creates heaven on earth. It begins with us. Where do you begin that process in your life?  Start today, the Universe always supports us in every way, give it something powerful to work with by creating powerful, life expanding, soul-ful intentions that will rock your life in extra-ordinary ways and change the world.

Have a wonderful month.

Take Back Your Divinity! ~ by Kari Samuels

Take Back Your Divinity!

Posted by KariSamuels on Dec 20, 2013 in Higher Self, Intuition

"As an intuitive counselor, I have the opportunity to work with many people very personally. It is a blessing for me to share in people’s lives so intimately, as I have often found that the very thoughts and feelings that are within me, are reflected in my clients as well. My experience has shown that many of us are overcoming our issues simultaneously. It is as if through our collective consciousness, we are transcending the same lessons together as a group.


Our task of late seems to confront the core of our spirituality. We long for direct communication with Spirit, while seeking guidance and communion with others. Though ultimately liberating, the self-directed path can often leave us conflicted between our personal beliefs, and a self-imposed view of what we think our beliefs should be.


This makes sense. We are coming out of the Piscean Age-where boundaries of self and others are blurred- into the Age of Aquarius, where we need to learn to think for ourselves in a unique way. Please take heart that though your struggle is unique and personal, you are not alone!


Many people here in the west, disenchanted with the constrictions of our Judeo-Christian heritage have either turned to Eastern religions such as Buddhism, New Age spirituality, or have abandoned religion altogether. Religion has become a dirty word for many of us, carrying with it a sense of guilt, shame, restriction, rules, patriarchy, or just plain wrongness. Why? Because through our religions we were often taught we had to be/think/act/feel a certain way – the way the priest, minister or rabbi told us to be. If we questioned, we would soon learn that if we prayed more, sacrificed our passions and beliefs, and repented from our sins, that we would truly know God.


So many of us, who could no longer ignore our inner stirrings gave up “religion” for “spirituality” – something more personal – that allows us the belief that God,Christ, Buddha, Source, lies within each one of us. Embracing a vast perspective-that beyond our naked eye are Spirit Guides, angels, devas, nature spirits, and vibrant dimensions beyond our comprehension.


This is a bold step! Since the inquisition against Goddess culture nearly 3000 years ago, people in the west have been conditioned – through brutal tactics, purging, burning, intimidation, and Crusades – to relinquish their power to authority figures, church and government officials, and slowly, brutally, successfully, patriarchy has gained dominance.


Presently, thankfully, as the Age of Aquarius is dawning (I couldn’t help but use that expression!) we are seeing the reemergence of Goddess culture, respect for Mother Earth, the Divine Feminine, the Source. After 3000 years of inertia, we are waking up to the fact that Divinity, Christ Consciousness, the Buddha – perfect, whole, wise, complete – lies within each one of us. Perhaps you are feeling this yourself.


However, it seems that even those of us who know this to be true are afraid of it. We are afraid of claiming our wisdom, our psychic gifts, our truth. We are afraid we will be wrong or embarrassed at least, or eternally damned at worst. Why? We are fighting against 3000 years of oppression, remember? 3,000 where people were forced to give up their power to the patriarchy or suffer dangerous consequences.


So, even though many of us have turned to beautiful practices such as Buddhism or Spiritualism, or have reclaimed the beauty within our Judeo-Christian heritage, we have retained our guilt, shame and fear. If our favorite Lama, Rinpoche, guru, psychic or teacher states something as their truth, even though in our hearts minds and spirits it doesn’t resonate with us, we are afraid to disagree, for fear of the eternal consequences. However, most of these Lamas, Rinpoches, gurus, psychics and teachers will encourage you to use their teachings only as guidelines, and remind you to follow your heart to the Truth that lies within your Self.


Here is a good litmus test; if you feel something strongly in your heart, ask yourself – does this desire or belief benefit not just you but others as well? If the answer is Yes! Continue. Am I doing any harm to anyone? If the answer is No! You’re doing great!


Try a little experiment for the next few weeks. Tune out everybody else’s opinion but yours. If you notice someone else’s opinion, acknowledge it, honor it, then put it aside. The best way to tune into your own inner voice is to tune out everyone else’s. Spend the next few weeks listening to your heart. When you reclaim the truth inside yourself, you will never waver in your step. There will be no need to question who to trust, because you have unwavering trust in yourself.


Trust your Divinity. Trust yourself. Now THAT is devotion.


Blessings on your journey!"
