Gifted Guidance Weekly Astrology ~ June 22 ~ 28

Slow Down and Allow the Storm to Pass . . . . 

The qualities you're attracted to and the qualities you develop to attract others are about to change. In addition, there are some volatile sparks midweek, followed by a sensitive lunation that will have your feelings all over the place.

See what's in store for you personally with an in-depth Archangel Power Tarot reading! In the meantime, here is the lowdown on the key cosmic events the week of June 22 ~28:


Monday ~ June 23 ~ Venus in Gemini

On Monday, love planet Venus enters clever Gemini, where she remains until July 18. For the next several weeks our love nature is decidedly intellectual. You will adore a lover you can communicate with. In fact, if you are not intellectual equals you just won't feel the love. You might also find yourself in the middle of a sexy love triangle if you discover you're drawn to more than one person now.

Wednesday ~ June 25 ~ Mars in Libra opposite Uranus in Aries

On Wednesday, Mars in Libra will oppose Uranus, and this suggests a more accident-prone day for all. The key to avoiding any mishaps is to SLOW DOWN. Take your time, and do not rush ~ no matter what it is you have going on. If you lose your temper, try your best to avoid an angry outburst. You will only regret any hasty action later. 

Friday ~ June 27 ~ New Moon in Cancer

On Friday, a New Moon in Cancer will bring an opportunity for a fresh start in a family matter. You might hear positive news from a relative, or you might decide to initiate a move or other exciting domestic related project.

Do What You Love . . . ♥

If you dream of a meaningful career that makes your heart sing with joy, trust the truism: “Do what you love and the money will follow.”  Let’s take a look at this phrase, because each component gives specific and important guidance.

DO: This means to take action. Doing ~ not just wishing. Doing, instead of worrying. Doing, without procrastinating. Those who have meaningful careers work many hours every day. Every single day, do one or more action steps related to your dream. It doesn’t even matter WHAT you do, as long as you Do Daily. The Universe responds in kind by giving you opportunities and additional guidance, in response to the energy of your actions. 

WHAT YOU LOVE: When you devote yourself to your passions, you’ll have the energy to take daily action. You’ll naturally be motivated to work daily. You’ll put your whole heart and soul into your work, and the joy that you exude will attract clients and opportunities who love to be around happiness. 

AND THE MONEY: Abundance comes in many forms. As you devote hours to your passion and exude the magical attractiveness of joy, your finances will naturally improve as a side benefit. You’ll also attract an abundance of new friends, feelings of fulfillment, and a sense of having more time and energy. 

WILL FOLLOW: Important! Don’t wait to have the money first before following your dreams. That’s backwards. FIRST you devote multiple hours a day to taking action related to your dream. And THEN you receive the rewards for doing so. 

I envision a world where each of us is happily working upon our heart’s desires. This is a heart-centered world of happy and abundantly fulfilled people. No one needs to compete to get their share, because there’s plenty to go around for everyone. And because everyone is taking responsibility for their own happiness, health and relationships improve. Peacefulness reigns naturally. 

Thank you for doing what you love!  ♥

Angelology and the Tree of Life

The Tree of Life represents all that is in alignment with living. It’s a symbol and a reality that serves to remind us of the importance of everything and how it all works together to serve the betterment of the whole. Imagine a tree taking root in your own backyard. As it is fed with the rain of heaven, the warmth of the sun, the nutrients in the soil and the cycle of shedding the old and bearing the new, we can see God at work. The Tree of Life not only signifies the mechanics of God but also the compassion. It provides shade and protection. It bears fruit that will nourish us and in many cases offers its whole being.

The Tree of Life touches every global community and penetrates every religion known to mankind. It has a physiological blueprint that parallels the universe’s design and all that has been manifested here on Earth. You will find the universal Law of Seven in every facet of its existence. Like the Seven Chakras, the Seven Archangels, and the Seven Octaves, The Tree of Life has seven branches that represent a union of all that is; supported by the trunk. This represents our strength and diversity in acknowledging the many different aspects of ourselves. The branches are seen as male and female. The lowest or first branch symbolizes our Body Self; our sense of wellness. The second is an expression of our Personality; its vitality determines how well we are received and perceived by others. The third branch represents our relationship with the divine and how easily we are able to connect. The fourth branch signifies our thirst for Knowledge. The fifth branch is called the Void. Its health facilitates an understanding of the collective consciousness of oneness. The sixth branch represents our Truth; the Essence of who we are; the 'I Am'. The seventh and final branch, like the crown chakra is the primary portal or connection to the divine allowing one to explore that which is not attached or of the physical body. Keeping our own Tree of Life healthy is vital if we are to be productive instruments of God. But most importantly, the thing to remember is that the Tree of Life represents the highest degree of the world of existence; the position of the Word of God, and the Supreme Manifestation. It’s no wonder so many are driven to save the trees on this beloved planet. Each leaf that flourishes as a result of our love is said to summon another angel to our side. And fortunately, we have many angels, legions of angels governed by the likes of the 'Magnificent Seven' Archangels in our presence committed to sustaining our significance and the integrity with which we were created. ♥

Gifted Guidance Weekly Astrology ~ June 15 ~21

Summer Storm

Summer Arrives Under the Cloud of Mercury Retrograde . . . . 

Mercury Retrograde will confuse your confusion this week. The good news is that romance receives a boost, and so does your family life.

See what's in store for you personally with an in-depth Archangel Power Tarot reading, and here's the lowdown on the key cosmic events the week of June 15 ~ 21, 2014.

Tuesday ~ June 17 ~ Mercury Retrograde backs into Gemini

On Tuesday, Mercury, retrograde since June 7, will backpedal into the sign of Gemini, where he'll remain retrograde until July 1. Now that Mercury Retrograde is in a different zodiac sign, he'll activate a different area of your life, wreaking havoc where you didn't see it coming. Don't worry ~ if you take it in stride, you'll remember to do anything that begins with a "re" over the next couple of weeks instead of starting new projects. 

Wednesday ~ June 18 ~ Venus in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer

On Wednesday, Venus in Taurus will make a delicious sextile to Jupiter in Cancer. These two planets are quite generous and extravagant when connected. Lucky for you, they will link up in a friendly way that allows you to benefit from the indulgence. You might give or receive an expensive gift, or your sweet tooth might run into overdrive. If you eat that entire pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream or a whole box of Godiva chocolate, you can easily blame the planets now! 

Venus In Taurus

Thursday ~ June 19 ~ Sun conjunct Mercury Retrograde

On Thursday, the Sun will connect to Mercury Retrograde, shining an even brighter light on whatever is confusing you these days. The good news is that you will begin to untangle this mental knot. 

Saturday ~ June 21 ~ Sun enters Cancer and Summer Solstice

Finally, on Saturday, the Sun will enter Cancer, marking the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere. For the next month, a light will shine on domestic concerns. Family really matters.

Everyday Oils Collection ~ Joy & Valor ~ Uplifting, Healing & Empowering!

JOY: An exotic, luxurious blend of Lemon (Citrus limon), Mandarin (Citrus reticulata), Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata), Rose (Rosa damascena), Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii), Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), and Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) that produces an uplifting magnetic energy and brings joy to the heart. When worn as a cologne or perfume, Joy exudes an alluring and irresistible fragrance that inspires romance and togetherness. When diffused, it can be refreshing and uplifting. 

~ Rubbing a drop of Joy oil over the heart and on the bottom of each foot may help relieve feelings of frustration or depression. 

~ Putting a drop of Joy oil on the tip of the nose may help in uplifting your mood. 

~ Wear a drop of Joy oil behind each ear as a perfume. 

~ Rub a drop of Joy oil between your palms and then spread over the face and neck after shaving. 

 ~ Rubbing two drops of Joy essential oil on areas of the body with poor circulation may improve blood flow. 

~ Rubbing two drops of Joy oil on the armpit area may help as a deodorant. 

~ Rubbing two drops of Joy oil on the heart and feet may help increase libido. 

~ Sprinkle a few drops of Joy oil into potpourri to improve the fragrance. 

~ Diffusing Joy may bring joy to the heart and can be refreshing.

~ Adding Joy to Bath Gel Base or Epsom salts in bath water may help in relaxing and uplifting. 


Healing For Animals:

Uses of Joy for Animals include adrenal disorders (Cushing's Disease, Addison's Disease, Ferret Adrenal Tumors), depression and sadness, loss of an animal companion, turmoil in the household, when an animal must be euthanized (for animals, as well as their humans), and for general feelings of grief or sadness.  Joy essential oil resonates at the vibration of the Adrenal Glands, which are located near the kidney area in the mid-back region on most animals.  An excellent location to apply Joy for Adrenal issues is right behind where the rib cage ends on the spinal region.  

VALOR: An “electrical” blend of oils that help balance the electrical energies within the body. Valor gives courage, confidence and healthy self-esteem. Valor may help the body to self-correct balance and alignment, giving relief from pain. The oils of Rosewood, Blue Tansy, Frankincense and Spruce empower the physical and spiritual bodies to overcome fear and opposition when facing adversity. Valor is often called the “Chiropractor in a Bottle,” and has improved scoliosis when required applications are continued. 

~ Apply 4-6 drops of Valor on soles of both feet daily to balance electrical energies along spine. 

~ Apply one drop of Valor on TMJ to support mandibular (jaw bone). 

~ Drop 6 drops of Valor along the spine to help with scoliosis. 

~ Apply Valor to the feet, behind the ears on the mastoid bone, on the Throat Chakra and back of the neck to inspire courage and a sense of invincibility. 


Healing For Animals:

In addition to balancing and aligning energy, Valor also aligns physiology.  Valor acts as a primer for the use of other oils, and will make all other oil applications more effective.  It is often used as the first step (balancing), in the Raindrop Technique.  Uses for Valor include anxiety, stress, fear, competition and showing, but also for physical needs such as the proper alignment of the spine, broken bones, joints, and general physical structure.  Valor is often used in holistic veterinary practices to aid in setting a bone, applied to the area of broken bones while they heal, and to promote proper conformation of joints and tendons.  Valor Roll-On has been applied to the bottom of birds' feet with phenomenal results and success.  It is an oil blend that benefits almost any situation.  Valor is not used orally for animals.

Should you wish to get started with your own oils and products, we recommend that you enroll as a wholesale member in Young Living by purchasing the Premium Starter Kit, which gives you the Everyday Oils (including Joy & Valor), a bonus oil called Stress Away, a Home Diffuser, as well as samples to try or share. This is an excellent investment in your health, as well as the health of your animals. 

You also have the option of joining as a Retail Member, as opposed to a Wholesale Member, so it is completely up to you. There are also options for monthly Essential Rewards orders, which earn you points that you can spend on additional products, as well as promotional items every month that you can earn for free, just by shopping for what you already need.
