September Horoscopes and Success!

September is an awesome month! Yes, it is! The Sun is in Virgo!

What’s amazing about it is the number of planets that are now going direct allowing you to get into motion. All those things that have been on hold are now ready to move forward, be completed and come to fruition.

With so many planets in retrograde in August, you probably felt stuck with what seemed like one road block after another. It’s frustrating to say the least.

But, here’s the opportunity to take advantage of all that time that you had to fall back, regroup and plan for the future. You may have discovered some places last month that caught your eye where you were happy that whatever you wanted didn’t happen at that time. Now you have all the details needed to make it a success.

That’s what September is about!

SUCCESS!

Virgo is about perfection and attaining the highest outcome by taking care of details and the routine jobs that make it happen. We’ve heard the quote, “The devil is in the details.” Here’s your chance!

The New Moon in Virgo on September 9 is a time to start over:

  • Create a new health routine
  • Get organized
  • Be patient
  • Think of ways to serve creating a positive feeling for you and others
  • Power is in the present; chaos is in the past thoughts

Feel the power of your new plans rather than overwhelmed by the planning. You are NOT a victim, but victorious in creating the life you desire!

YES! Victorious, successful and powerful!

That is YOU!!

JOY HAS YOUR NAME ON IT!

Celebrate YOU! and August Horoscopes

CELEBRATE YOU!

What a great word! Celebrate! It’s such a way to honor, praise, appreciate, or be thankful for someone or something that is very meaningful to you, me or many others.

I love celebrations. Let’s take the winter holiday season, for example. The decorations, the music, the food and the loving presence are all part of the celebration of religious and non-religious holidays. Warms my heart with the thoughts and memories.

Look at this past July with the Independence Day celebrations. The red, white and blue commemorating the birthday of our nation, cook-outs and fireworks.

I’m choosing to celebrate…just celebrate.

What prompted this desire to just celebrate?

It was actually a negative thought that I had about myself. You know, the ones where you tell yourself you’re not good enough, smart enough capable enough. Have you ever had those?

August is also my birthday month. I began thinking about how these two things are opposite.  Something had to change, and it had to be my thinking!

Celebrate anything and everything! Aren’t you good enough to celebrate YOU, your successes both personal and professional?

 

Let’s think about celebrating:

  • Who? That can be you and or anyone else that is important to you.
  • What? Any event, special moment or success that you may have or had.
  • When? Whenever you choose. This is your choice and totally up to you.
  • Where? Anywhere. Outdoors, indoors, at the gym, at a restaurant, wherever!
  • Why? Any special reason you can think of. From getting to work on time, a pay raise, a new client, your child’s success at school, birthdays and anniversaries are included.
  • How? This is the fun part. Can you just imagine all the ways that you can celebrate an event or person? Make a list of FUN!
  • All these questions have unlimited answers.

 

You are worth it!

You are worthy of celebrating!

You have value!

So, get to it! What are going to celebrate today?

Your Independence Day!

We celebrate Independence Day on July 4th. It’s a national holiday and a day of celebration and remembrance of our freedoms.

Being independent and free, according to the thesaurus, means self-reliance, autonomy, self-sufficient and an individual thinker.

All politics aside, and there’s plenty of rhetoric on all media, how free do you feel? Do you feel your decisions are influenced by those around you, the media, advertising or loved ones? Do you feel that you make your own decisions independently?

Let me add another word to the mix and that is CLARITY. Clarity is clear vision, clear thinking and clear action. With clarity you make your own decisions of how you are going to live in the present and create your future.

Young people are very influenced by social media. Are they handsome or beautiful enough? Are they too fat? Do they have the cool friends? Are they wearing the right clothes? Do their parents drive the cool cars? Do they live in the best houses? Do they have the newest cell phones?

How many of you as adults have the same concerns? Advertisements and social media scream at us with the message that we are not good enough. Why else would we continue to see advertisements about makeup, younger looking skin, weight reduction, youthful clothes and exercise programs.

You are continually bombarded and told how you can be better because you’re not enough.

What if you came from the place of freedom that you are enough? That you really are okay with the choices that you make in what you do for a living, where you live, the clothes you wear, the friends you have and the choices in reading, learning or movies. You have the freedom to just be who you are.

You are enough! Because you are free and independent to be enough!

What a concept! You ARE powerful!

So, let me be the first to tell you that you are perfect, handsome, beautiful and worthy and deserving of all that is good in this life. You are independent and free to make you own choices. You hold your own personal power. You are the only one that can be YOU!!

Happy Independence Day!!

Letting Go, The Big Reveal and June Horoscopes

Letting Go

 

This past Sunday, my Facebook Live topic was letting go and knowing when it’s time. It’s a difficult action to take. It’s not taken lightly, and it happens when we finally realize our own worth, value, and our power.

You’ll know it’s time to let go when:

  • ·        Your value and importance are diminished by someone else
  • ·        Your trust is continuously broken
  • ·        You’re justifying and making excuses that it’s all worth the “abuse”
  • ·        You’re expected to be someone you’re not
  • ·        You feel invisible, unheard, and lost

These feelings can happen in a romantic relationship, personal relationship or a job. Recognizing these indicators is the first step to taking action and taking back your power. It’s about personal FREEDOM!

It’s all about YOU!!

And now the revelation!! I truly believe that we teach what we need to learn. This Facebook Live was also a lesson for me in a different way.

I’ve been in business for almost five years now after retiring from teaching fifth grade here in Tallahassee. I’ve been taking “baby steps” as I learn what it means to be an entrepreneur. This is something new to me, although teaching is in a sense a form of marketing. You must get someone’s attention for them to listen and learn and hear your message…. even in fifth grade!

And now I have to let go and allow myself to jump into the next phase. Yes, take the leap. I have to let go of what has been comfortable and move on to where I can better serve and be on purpose.

I began my business as a Tarotastrologist. I love both and with each reading I was able to share with my client how to live life more fully with authenticity. Clarity was the real desire of each person coming for a reading. Coaching was going on in each session even if I didn’t call it such.

It’s now time for me to let go of old perceptions, my own insecurities, and add what I’ve learned as tools on my tool belt to become The Clarity Creator, guiding entrepreneurs and individuals to discover

  • ·        Clarity of direction and goals,
  • ·        Connection to your true purpose and the
  • ·        Courage to move
  • ·        Confidently into the future with greater focus.

I will have much more to share with you on the subject as this new coaching, both individual and group, and group sessions on a variety of subjects, including Confidence, Connecting to Your Joy, Discovering Your Purpose, evolve to answer the quest to resolve our feelings of loss, being stuck, feeling valueless and  having a purpose to life.

I am excited about the prospect of growing and expanding into something new. I feel the divine guidance to become this reinvented, expanded version of myself. I hope you will join me on this new journey and quest for clarity.

It’s not just about me; it’s about YOU! We can do this together.

This is OUR journey!!

Thank you! I look forward to traveling this road together!

May Horoscopes and Blog

I’m stuck!!

I’ve spent a couple of days working on the blog for this month. And I am stuck.

I love this month, but my mind just wasn’t focusing on the message I wanted to share.

First, I started with what my childhood was like and how my mother was the best. She had many challenges with my father, yet I always knew that her love was unconditional. She strived along with my grandmother to love me above and beyond all else to make up for the lack of interest and involvment by my father. They were inspiring and an example of the endless love of motherhood. My mother was always my biggest cheerleader. She always made me feel loved, accepted, heard and seen.

Well, that wasn’t working.

I then decided I would focus on the Divine Feminine, the awakening feminine in all of us and embracing who we are with the fullness and appreciation of femininity. The Me,Too movement that advocates that women are important, intelligent and not to be treated as powerless or used is an offspring of the Divine Feminine. There could be no better time. Along with awareness of the Divine Feminine comes the recognition and acknowledgment that we, men and women, are both made up of the feminine and the masculine. Both are important if we are to have the balance, harmony and peace that comes with true relationships.

That wasn’t working for me either.

So, now what? I then decided that I would speak only for myself. Being a mother has been the most important and rewarding thing I have ever done. Has it been perfect? No, just ask my son. It’s definitely been a work in progress. I hope I’ve gained some wisdom with the years. Becoming a mother at 20 meant that we both grew up together. I still remember when I first saw Tim. I remind you that I had my son when there was a hospital nursery, mothers were rationed their babies during the day and I was totally out during his birth. How times have changed! I looked forward to every moment I could hold him, be with him and counted all his fingers and toes. I was in the hospital for almost 5 days! That’s how long ago this was!

Tim has been my son, my teacher, my guide and now my friend in more ways than I can say. He’s always been level headed and focused. And now I get to see him with his own son. My heart is full. Joy oozes from me without measure. I’ve never know such bliss as having a grandson.

May this Mother’s Day be the best ever for you, whether mother, serving as a mother or a dad being both mother and father. May joy always be part of your journey with children from birth to adulthood. May your heart overflow with love and memories of family, no matter what family looks like.

We all have a story. Enjoy yours and keep writing!

Love,

Donna

On the 15th, escorted by a fresh-start Taurus New Moon, Uranus enters Taurus, your intimacy and sharing, joint resources. Uranus’s 7-year transit can bring unexpected events around money, credit and/or debt. Mars entering Aquarius maximizes your energy for creativity, friendships with children and unusual love affairs.

Get set to tackle a project or promote and innovative idea. The Sun and Venus in Gemini bring domestic harmony.

April Horoscopes and Planetary Retrogrades

Easing through the Retrogrades

This month is a significant month of patience, flexibility, and calm in the storm. We’re currently in Mercury Retrograde until April 15, which for many can be perplexing. I always look at Mercury Retrograde as a time of making sure I have all the details in place. It’s a time to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. It’s a time to review, revisit and realign what is important.

Mercury Retrograde allows the opportunity to take time to go within. There are few things you can do during this time to ease the transition and these very same tips will help when a significant retrograde of Pluto, the Transformer, and Saturn, The Task Master, in the sign of Capricorn occurs beginning April 17th and April 22nd. These two planets will remain Retrograde for five months.

·        Meditate: Meditation allows the release of oxytocin and dopamine that make us feel good.  (Consider receiving your own personal recorded meditation for a more peaceful and calm YOU.)

·        Media: Another way to continue feeling good is to not listen to the news. There’s always something happening in the world to make you feel stressed or fearful. What you don’t hear is all the GOOD things that are happening that far outnumber the negative events. Those cute cat videos look really good right now.

·        Sleep: Rest is very important now. Give yourself time to sleep. Turning off communication devices and even TV a half hour before bedtime really helps ease you into a relaxed state preparing for sleep.

·        Clean it up: Nothing feels as good as the comfort of home. Declutter, create a “ME” space, chill.

·        Clean it up 2: Create the No Drama Rule, whether for family or friends or clients. Positive conversations are uplifting; gossip, judging, criticizing and trolling are not!

·        Enjoy the outdoors: Nature does wonders for your attitude.

·        Remember: JOY has your name on it! (And consider the JOY Reading to discover blocks and blessings to your own JOY)

What we think about, comes about. Retrogrades can be a gift to allow you to see where you need to realign to your true purpose, point out where you’ve been off the path and where you need to make an adjustment. All good things!

Although tips for retrogrades, this applies to any day any time! Make this the best time of your life!!

You are powerful and create your own experience!

 

 

 

April Horoscopes

ARIES: You come into the month with an independent streak from a strong first house, looking still to have your way, with retrograde Mercury, the Sun, and Uranus in your sign. Make changes after Mercury goes direct on the 15th, the same day as the New Moon in your sign. This is the theme for the month: feeling tested or restricted. You could feel the power struggles this month. Flow forward when positive and look for ways to calm the waters to make things work.

TAURUS: With Venus, your ruler, in her own sign, Taurus, followed by the Sun (19th), expect good health and vibrant energy levels, happiness and popularity, glamour and beauty. You have “star power” and charisma. Feelings with partners intensify after the Scorpio Full Moon on the 29th. Retrograding Pluto on the 17th may slow down love. Also, there may be struggles between beliefs and judgments and the restrictions preventing your freedom. Be careful on the 18th.

GEMINI: Develop your personal initiative and skill-sets. You need a strong core, a confident sense of who you are, especially with Venus in Taurus in your inner psychological zone. Be your authentic self with the strong theme of independence. Make the changes you want and fashion the circumstances to your liking. You have the planetary support to create happiness in your future. After the 17th, struggles between friends and money and fiscal obligations and power.

CANCER: Your career is the main headline, and a good professional reputation plays a role in earnings. A sudden or unexpected business or economic upset requires action. Although unexpected money or positive professional change could also occur. You’re feeling very independent. Heavier aspects mid-month could bring pause to look at career obstacles or power struggles. You will be comfortable and safe around friends at the end of the month.

LEO:  Pleasure and business journeys could be scheduled. With Mercury Direct and the Scorpio Full Moon on the 15th, your financial clarity will improve. Uranus receiving positive stimulation may bring a current relationship to an exciting new level, or new partners from a different tempting world. Struggles between independence and autonomy appear. Things pop at the Sun-Uranus conjunction on the 18th. Forge strong professional alliances now.

VIRGO: While you might be enjoying love at its most prime, or mature, conflicts over fiscal autonomy and shared resources may conflict. Retrograde Mercury, the Sun and Uranus are in your money sector. You could feel a fierce independent streak with the need to also focus on love and money. Responsibilities to loved ones could be limiting or weighty. You might reconnect with an old flame or at least be thinking of one. A trip may bring money!

LIBRA: The tough love square between the cardinal planets, Mars, testing Saturn, and fateful Pluto in Capricorn, in your home-and-family zone, and mercury, Uranus, and the Sun in Aries in your relationship house, is the dominating theme. Instability or difficulties between your need for autonomy and responsibilities may set off an independent streak in you or your partner. Override any anger and transform your environment, inside and out. Give up a power struggle.

SCORPIO: The dominating theme comes from the cardinal signs, where your rule, fateful Pluto in Capricorn, stands, along with taskmaster Saturn, both retrograding (!), with action Mars also in your house of communication and thought. This group pushes squares into the Aries planets: retrograde Mercury, the Sun, the wild-card Uranus in your zone of work, daily routine and health. Overcome any tough mental constructs to stand up and be you!

SAGITTARIUS: The cardinal-sign standoff in your personal money zone and in your zone of love, creativity and children makes you adaptable. Instabilities, quick shifts and pressures are likely. After the 18th freedom and rebellion make a loud statement. Don’t be reckless in love and money. Power struggles in both areas will show you what needs to be worked on. The 14th is perfect for expansive fiscal reformations and after the 15th is even better with Mercury Direct.

CAPRICORN: Maintaining high energy levels will come from Mars in your sign all month, also an ambitious home indicator. You might be impatient; awareness and self-control are better allies and lead away from stress. More dominant is the pull and push between your sign of You and home and family. The 2nd and 26th may bring difficult decisions. You’ll be able to see where the rebellion is coming from after the 18th. Be flexible in order to make the right decisions for you.

AQUARIUS: The standout theme this month is in your zone of privacy, psychological and spiritual awareness and your communication sector. With you ruler in the mix, instabilities, quick shifts, and pressures are likely. At the 18th, freedom and rebellion make a loud statement. Mars conjunctions on the 2nd and 26th show the need for control and clearing of old patterns. With so many retrogrades, progress will be slow. The 14th allows great strides professionally.

PISCES: The Aries-Capricorn squares bring up differences or power struggles involving money and friends. Instabilities and sudden changes occur. You’ll need to think independently, possibly under stressful circumstances. Mars conjunctions on the 2nd and 26th bring a desire to break free of financial obligations and be independent. Luckily, the 14th restorative Jupiter-Pluto sextile brings help, funds and support. Feelings improve toward the end of the month.

Enjoy April! And remember, JOY has your name on it!!

With love and appreciation,

Donna
