The video will be back in July!

We’re now winding down from the dizzying heights of Gemini season, being up in our minds and intellects while absorbing and sharing new information, and floating into the watery sign of Cancer, which is sentimental, heart based, and focused on all things home and family.

The Summer Solstice is coming on the 21st, as well. The longest day of the year meets the beginning of summer, meets the sign of the ultimate Mother, and its a beautiful time to focus on what brings light and warmth into your life.  Not all of us were blessed with having a mother that loved us unconditionally or was even there physically or mentally, so it’s a good time to reflect on how we can become that which we need, and be the mother we deserve to take care of our needs. The sign of Cancer also rules the chest/breast area, so it’s a good time to make sure the lungs are in good working order, or if needed, get a breast exam to make sure everything is in tip top shape. This is also a very heart centered time; ruled by water, Cancer does everything from the space of emotions and psychic senses and trusts this place implicitly. Most people have an idea of Cancers being crybabies that stay holed up in their homes all day, but let me assure you this isn’t even remotely true. Yes, these guys feel things on a deep emotional level that no mere mortal could contend with, but come after their family or what they consider their home, and you have the making for the movie, “Taken.” They will find you, and end you (nice side effect of being a cardinal sign that takes action). You mess with the Crab (Cancer’s animal sign) and you’ll get the claws. These guys are the ultimate nesters and their homes will reflect what they hold dear, and being a parent (children, animals, or plants) is of upmost importance to them too. The happiest years of their life are taking care of their family and home, and may even find them in older age taking care of the grandchildren as well.

So how can we use the energy of this week to help us? My advice is this: What does family mean to you and are you there for them in the way you’d like to be? What have your emotions, psychic impressions, and dreams been telling you lately, and are you ready to follow your own advice? How can you start to encapsulate/become or do for yourself what you need to feel emotionally supported and loved? So something amazing happened to me last week– I was invited to be a part of a paranormal investigation group with some amazing ladies. SQUEE! I’m SO excited, and this is the first official group I’ve been invited to be a part of. Something about this group of ladies just feels like home to me, and I literally cried when I got the message, inviting me (because I’m an emotional baby and I have a Cancer moon, so being a part of a family is everything to me). It feels like something new is starting to emerge and I’m ridiculously excited to see where this goes, what we investigate, and the amazing people and Spirit I know will show up along the way. It’s kinda feeling like some puzzle pieces are coming together or giving me clues about what’s developing next. I promised myself when I moved to Portland, I would just be my weirdo self, and that I would follow that feeling of home; and here I am. I’m happy I declared that to myself, and I’m even happier I’m following my bliss and that it was looking for me too. This week, move towards what feels like home. Your heart is ready to plant some roots <3

Go ahead and pick a card from above (pick one, two, or all three cards–choose what you’re drawn to). The stone you see in the picture (yay! I found them!) is clear quartz. Quartz crystal is valued for its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, by which it can transform mechanical pressure or heat into electromagnetic energy, and vice versa. Its ability to focus, amplify, store and transform energy is used throughout the technology world in ultrasound devices, watches, microphones, radio transmitters and receivers, memory chips in computers and other electronic circuitry. The same properties of energy amplification, programmability and memory also make Clear Quartz the most versatile and multidimensional stone in the mineral kingdom for healing, meditation, expansion of consciousness, communication with guides, past-life recall, attracting love or prosperity, or virtually any purpose. However, with this power comes responsibility. To benefit from Rock Crystal’s blessings, one must feel in harmony with it and deserve its gifts. Intent other than for good inevitably brings harm back on oneself. Clear Quartz is excellent for amplifying the energies of other stones or to enhance groups of stones, and is ideal for gridding. It is the perfect base material for wands, staffs, templates, etc., and clear crystal spheres have long been used for crystal gazing. For ongoing personal energy, carry Clear Quartz as a tumble-stone or touch as needed for an instant lift. Add Quartz crystals to bath water, or make an elixir to drink or splash on pulse points by soaking Clear Quartz crystals in water from first light to midday. In the workplace, use as a filter against negativity and to transform critical words. Crystals are professional support stones for artists, stylists, doctors and healers, inventors, musicians, and those who work in media. Clear Quartz produces a force field of healing negative ions while clearing the surroundings of positive ions, protecting the aura. It dispels static electricity, and cancels out the harmful effects of radiation and radioactivity. Clear Quartz brings strength and clarity to the intellect, aiding concentration and memory retention, and filtering out distractions. Its hypnotic quality is conducive to sleep, helping one to understand the messages and lessons conveyed during the dream state. It is also a respected stone for death, included in many cultures in funeral rites and placed in tombs, urns, and sepulchers. If you’d like to learn more about this stone, please go here.

If you chose card #2: Your message this week is about Sanctuary and Rest. Your card goes on to say that a navigator of the dream world, Bear appreciates the value of rest and quietude. He instinctively knows how much down time is needed to recharge. During this repose, Bear ponders and reflects within the realms of the subconscious, trusting in the healing process that this sanctuary brings. Introspective and strong, Bear is here to remind you that you have within you all the answers you need, if you only pause and listen. When overwhelmed, distance yourself from the situation until you gain back enough strength to stand up to it again. Slow down and nourish your spirit. Be receptive to your intuition. By the grace of your inner sanctum, regroup and recharge. Additional Meanings: Retreat • Rest • Sanctuary • Recuperation • Healing • Spiritual counseling • Meditation.

Use your initiative, and be prepared to make your move. Keep yourself ahead of the game by closely observing what is going on. With eyes and mind open, dishonest behavior will be revealed. Look within, and study all angles. You instinctively know what steps you need to take to bring forth the best results. Additional Meanings: New approaches • Preparation • Resourcefulness • Reason • Logic • Initiative • Courage.

My hope for you this week is that you follow that feeling of home. Sometimes it can be scary to do this if you weren’t a part of a healthy family or if you aren’t sure what feels right to you. Look for things that fill you will joy, that make you feel alive and present, and instills you with hope. If you feel these things, you’ve found your home <3

This is your week! Make it an amazing one 🙂
