How are you doing after last week? It was definitely challenging, a watershed moment in the ascension process. We recently opened a long-dormant portal to 5D energy just in time for the May 10 and May 25 eclipses.

I think the rest of the month is going to be pretty interesting on a global scale. In the 2013 predictions (which you can read here) I wrote that in May a lot of secrets would be uncovered and this possibly includes the disclosure movement, which insists that governments reveal the truth about ET knowledge, collusion and collaboration. There is a lot we have not been told and when the truth is revealed, it will be a huge surprise to many people about how much is happening and how long it has been going on.

With the opening of this new portal we now have full access to 5D energy, which is going to create some disturbances in our lives. This is a collision between duality and one-ness, polarity and connection, love and fear. It doesn’t have to be a collision, it can be an integration but collision-force change is barreling down the pike now and it will soon be all too clear, to more and more people, that the 3D paradigms are no longer going to function as they did before.

You will see this in your life too, as you will read in this week’s message, “10 Ways to Know You’re at the End of Your Energy Road.” You can read the full article on the blog and see whether your life has run out of gas. Celebrate it because it means you’re ready to integrate new energy. Stay in your intention for what you want in your life, that’s how we create energy for change in the world. I believe that we are in the period the bible describes as the ‘end of days’ and it doesn’t have to be the fire and brimstone prophecies of the past. We have the ability to create any reality we desire, so it is important for us to stay focused on our most powerful, joyful, peaceful and fulfilling intentions. We can be “filled full” of anything we want, so why not make it the best and most wonderful things we can think of?

You can read the 2013 predictions here if you have not read them yet and learn more about the potential of this year and why this period is feeling so overwhelming at times.

10 Signs You’re at the End of Your Energy Road

I could have called this article ’10 ways to know that your life is out of gas’ because that is what being at the end of an energy road feels like, a car that has run out of gas and isn’t going anywhere. This just means that the path you are on has no more energy for you and there is no more than can be created in that energetic space because you’re now at a different energy level. If you read my Facebook page, I posted a few days ago that we all assisted in opening and activating an energy portal this week, one that has been around, but dormant, for eons. With this new energy portal we have access to so many new and different frequencies which will make you more aware of the limitations of your current path and realize that so much more is available to you. You’re at the end of your energy road and it’s time to consider changing from unleaded to rocket fuel.

It’s a little like living in a comfortable, ordinary home and visiting a huge mansion, like the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. When you return to your home it suddenly looks very small and not too fancy. When we are faced with new frequencies that can expand our lives in many different ways, our life suddenly looks very small and limited, we see where we can make changes and wonder why we didn’t see these opportunities before. Judgment is not useful here because they were not available to us on our current energy path, but with the new frequencies, new potentials are now possible.

But how do we know that what we are seeing is possible and how can we connect with and manifest it? Are we smart, powerful, gifted, and capable enough to create new possibilities for ourselves? We are if we connect to the new energies but first, we have to disconnect from the energy path that no longer serves us because it doesn’t have the frequency or vibration to allow these new potentials to manifest. Every energetic frequency has a limit to its potential and when you achieve that level, there is no more. It’s the end of the road for that energy and it can no longer serve you as you create new aspects for your life. This also includes relationships, situations, and people in your life.

Here are the top ten ways you can know that your energy path has reached its limit, the energy in your life no longer serves you, and you’re at the end of one road, ready to embark on another one:

1. You don’t like your life any more, it feels limited and small and you know that something more fulfilling is out there for you, even though you may not know what it is yet.

2. You don’t like what you are doing with your life, which could include your job, your career, your financial situation, your relationships, or where you live. They may be feeling like energy drains too.

3. Things that used to make you happy are now things that you derive no joy from. You may not even be able to remember what being happy feels like.

4. You feel disconnected from the people around you and may not even like them any more (who they are doesn’t matter; this applies to all relationships and people, including family members). They may be avoiding you a little (or a lot), or when you are with them, the conversation feels forced and you have a hard time communicating with them.

5. You feel stuck, unable to move in any direction and you may either want change badly and are willing to move in any direction to make it happen, or are so confused that you can’t consider doing anything right now.

6. You feel unmotivated and have lost your creativity and ambition. Doing even simple, familiar things feels like you’re walking through thick mud.

7. You feel spacey, confused and your thinking is clouded. You have a hard time concentrating and focusing on the smallest things, and it seems to take a long time to get anything done.

8. You spend a lot of time daydreaming about being anywhere else but in your life in this moment.

9. There is a strong temptation to take off, run away, go off to parts unknown and leave your current life to find out what will make you happy.

10. You have the urge to clean up your living space, get rid of things you no longer want, and as you go through your belongings you are surprised at how much you are willing to let go of.

And what’s next? How do you move beyond the lack of motivation and general unhappiness that is overwhelming you now? While it may feel like your worst nightmare, this is actually your most powerful moment because your fear of change may be small in comparison to how much you want change to happen and are willing to allow it. And that is when it can happen. No matter how powerful and promising the energy’s potential, until we realize that the path we are on has no more energy for us and are willing to consider a new one, all of the energy’s potential remains pure potential.

The next step is to consider what action we can take. What have we been attached to that we can now release? What outcomes can we begin to create the foundation for now? Your dreams provide the answers to the question ‘What do I want’, so pay attention to the secret desires you harbor, the things that follow your “I wish..” declarations. We can go from unhappiness and depression to taking inspired action by knowing that when we’re depressed and unhappy, we have come to the end of an energetic path. By following the path of our dreams and hopes, a new path will begin to unfold. And by taking inspired action, we expand the potential of the new energy into the new reality for our life.

今週の星の動き- 2013年5月20日

Your Japanese Stars are up!

After reading about Angelina’s choice this week, I wondered what the amazing Anita Moorjani would have to say about it.

As you might know, Anita was instantly cured of cancer after a near-death experience. She went on to write about it in her New York Times best-seller Dying To Be Me.

This is what I wrote to her: I was thinking that if it’s Angelina’s reality that she will die from cancer because of what happened to her mother, then I guess that is what she will create. However if she truly believes she has evaded it with this operation, then I guess she has evaded it. Would you agree?

Anita very generously replied: Hiya Yasmin!

“Yes, I absolutely do agree with you – and I don’t have a problem with Angelina’s choice – because doing this will alleviate her fears of getting cancer, then she has basically created that reality. She has to do what she has to do, and I would never judge her for it. Personally, I can just leave it at that, but so many people are asking me my opinion on this matter, as though looking for guidance, or a cue as to my take on this whole subject of having a double mastectomy as a preventative. So my take is that it is absolutely not necessary to have a double mastectomy even if you have the gene. So my issue is not with Angelina per se, but with the way our society, and the entire medical system view cancer. Because Angelina is a public figure, her double mastectomy is now putting fear into everyone else’s minds and hearts, and causing them to go and be tested genetically, to see if they have inherited the cancer gene. And if they find that yes, there is a cancer gene (which, by the way, many people have, but never get cancer!), they will develop this fear, and feel the need to go and do the double mastectomy, or hysterectomy, or whatever in order to alleviate the fear. My point is, let’s move on from propagating the thinking that cancer is purely physical, and that detecting some gene, or doing earlier and earlier detection, or that cancer is some enemy that has to be found and caught at any cost. This thinking in itself is unhealthy, and is propagated by many well meaning people, with the intention of doing good.

If we, as a society, put as much focus and awareness and money into health awareness as we put into cancer awareness, and taught people how to FOCUS on health, instead of focusing on cancer, we would have a very different reality. If we taught people what it means to be mentally, spiritually and physically healthy, instead of putting our focus on cancer, we can create a very different environment, where health is supported and promoted by society as a whole, instead of a planet obsessed with finding disease everywhere we turn.

As a result, I don’t support any anti cancer movements, or drives, or campaigns. Never have and never will. But I am always happy to promote total health and wellbeing.

By the way, please feel free to share my views with anyone you wish.”

Astrology is such a wonderful tool for Parents

This article was written by Nicole Thompson, author of Star Sign Stories For Every Child: Astrology is an often overlooked but invaluable tool that parents may use to assist them in navigating the sometimes tricky path of parenting.

A full natal chart read by a skilled and intuitive astrologer or even a very well-written a downloadable report on your child’s chart will reveal the intricacies of your child’s personality.

Yet just knowing your child’s Sun sign and becoming familiar with the positive and negative aspects is also a start on the path to knowing and relating to your child in a deeper way. As a parent our role is to help our children grow by working with their innate tendencies rather than trying to force change.

ARIES

An impulsive and impatient Aries thrives on praise and needs to know that they are always special. When your love is solid an Aries child is able to learn the important lesson of trust. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

TAURUS

The quiet and placid Taurus child must never be forced. Common sense, physical affection and a calm voice will instead move mountains, and by showing forgiveness to all and sundry you help them to learn to let go of resentment. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

GEMINI

Gemini children need freedom in order to satisfy their inquisitive and imaginative natures. With their changeable, alert minds it is often difficult for them to enter the realm of feelings and so expressing empathy for others and discussing feelings will assist the Gemini child to learn the all important lesson of emotional intelligence. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

CANCER

Extremely sensitive and moody, these children especially need nurturing home environments. Through providing a constant source of stability and empathy you will help them to release their fears and develop a measure of security in the world. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

LEO

A Leo child needs to fulfil their innate tendency to lead and require plenty of attention. In order that their greatest lesson of humility is learned they need constant love and gentle discipline in equal measures.

VIRGO

Whilst Virgo’s are renowned for their tendency to criticise it is important not to do the same to your Virgo child. They worry about their own imperfections and require consistent affection in order to offer assurance, but more importantly to teach them the important quality of human connection. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

LIBRA

Libran children must never be rushed into making a decision, instead offer gentle encouragement and possible solutions to help them overcome one of their greatest obstacles. Bringing balance into all that you do assists your Libran child to find the harmony that they seek. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

SCORPIO

A Scorpio child has an intense nature and a paramount need for privacy. They possess keen insight and seek the truth in which case they will only show respect for someone who stands by their convictions and exhibits true wisdom. Through this they are encouraged to choose a nobler path and surrender any form of resentment toward others. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

SAGITTARIUS

Fairness, honesty and logic make their mark on the curious Sagittarian child. As a seeker of freedom they will learn the lesson of loyalty if you relax the rules and never lose faith in them. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

CAPRICORN

These dutiful, practical, quiet children enjoy routine and order, and a parent who role models concern and empathy for others may teach their little goat not to step on anyone whilst making their way to the top. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

AQUARIUS

Aquarian children thrive in harmonious environments and it is important for them to learn to concentrate and to maintain an order within their thought processes. They are naturally unpredictable, rebellious and detached, all of which must be met with genuine love and connection enabling them to foster this within themselves. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

PISCES

The gentle Pisces child is a daydreamer who shuns routine and any negative discord. Their greatest obstacle is to overcome their natural tendency to swim away from problems. Help them to find the courage to face problems by seeking creative solutions. Order your Child Gifts Profile here.

So Taurean David Beckham has announced he is retiring from football after many years at the top. Perfect timing, Becks!

David Beckham is a Taurean with a Void of Course Capricorn Moon and Taurus Rising. Click here to see his chart.

So is there an ending in his chart signalling this big decision?

There most certainly is.

For one thing, like all Taureans, David has Very Final Saturn opposite his sign, suggesting one part of his life is ending so another can begin.

As a Taurean with Taurus Rising, he has also had the recent eclipses all over his chart. And regular readers will know that when eclipses strike, one door always closes so another can open.

Perfect timing

David Beckham has always had immaculate timing on and off the field. His decision to retire now is perfectly timed, especially with his progressed New Moon due to take place later this year.

David probably knows nothing about astrology but he is one of those people who is tuned into the cosmos. Like all good Taureans, he knows when to stop!

A few years ago I did a course with the amazing Doreen Virtue. At the end of it, we had to take some notes from our Inner Self and one of my messages was “stand up for what you believe in”.

One thing I really believe in is eradicating as much rubbish from our lives and the lives of our families. So here follows a totaly non-astrological article I have wantonly picked up from Dr Mercola – he’s a good guy and I am pretty sure he won’t mind. You can read the rest of this excellent article here.

Organic Life: What Can You do to Reduce Unnecessary Chemical Exposure to Your Family?

Rather than compile an endless list of what you should avoid, it’s far easier to focus on what you should do to lead a healthy lifestyle with as minimal a chemical exposure as possible:

As much as possible, buy and eat organic produce and free-range, organic foods to reduce your exposure to pesticides and fertilizers.

Rather than eating conventional or farm-raised fish, which are often heavily contaminated with PCBs and mercury, supplement with a high-quality purified krill oil, or eat fish that is wild-caught and lab tested for purity.

Eat mostly raw, fresh foods, steering clear of processed, prepackaged foods of all kinds. This way you automatically avoid artificial food additives, including dangerous artificial sweeteners, food coloring and MSG.

Store your food and beverages in glass rather than plastic, and avoid using plastic wrap and canned foods (which are often lined with BPA-containing liners).

Have your tap water tested and, if contaminants are found, install an appropriate water filter on all your faucets (even those in your shower or bath).

Only use natural cleaning products in your home.

Switch over to natural brands of toiletries such as shampoo, toothpaste, antiperspirants and cosmetics. The Environmental Working Group has a great database to help you find personal care products that are free of phthalates and other potentially dangerous chemicals. I also offer one of the highest quality organic skin care lines, shampoo and conditioner, and body butter that are completely natural and safe.

Avoid using artificial air fresheners, dryer sheets, fabric softeners or other synthetic fragrances.

Replace your Teflon pots and pans with ceramic or glass cookware or a safe nonstick pan.

When redoing your home, look for “green,” toxin-free alternatives in lieu of regular paint and vinyl floor coverings.

Replace your vinyl shower curtain with one made of fabric, or install a glass shower door. Most all flexible plastics, like shower curtains, contain dangerous plasticizers like phthalates.

Limit your use of drugs (prescription and over-the-counter) as much as possible. Drugs are chemicals too, and they will leave residues and accumulate in your body over time.

Avoid spraying pesticides around your home or insect repellants that contain DEET on your body. There are safe, effective and natural alternatives out there. Click here to read the rest of this article.

We love Ricky Martin – but why?!?!

There is most definitely something about Ricky Martin. Since he burst on to our screens on The Voice, Australians have been going mad for him.

But what is it about him that makes him so endearing? A quick look at his chart reveals that it might now be what you expect! Moreover, we might all have something to learn from him.

Ricky is one of the few celebs we actually have a time of birth for. He’s a Star sign Capricorn (hard working) with Gemini Rising (chatty) and a Pisces Moon (perfect for music).

HAPPY JUPITER
And his dominant planet? Jupiter, of course, the happiest, friendliest and most generous of planets who wants the whole world to be loved and to love back. It’s also the lucky planet and there is no doubt that Ricky clearly has been blessed by Lady Luck. One interesting thing to note is that Ricky’s Moon is Void of Course, proving once again that it’s no hindrance to great success!

UNCONVENTIONAL URANUS
Also fun to note is that he has the planet of the unconventional, Uranus, on his 5th House cusp, the part of his chart that talks about how and if he will have kids. In his case, he will have kids unconventionally and we all know he used a surrogate Mum to produce his beloved offspring.

AND THE CLINCHER?
And does any of this explain why we love him? Maybe not. For that we have to look to his Venus in Aquarius in his 8th House. That’s about someone who loves without clinging, who is not scared of the taboo, who is his own person. We love him because he dares to be himself. And his unaspected chart ruler Mercury. That’s about the maverick who marches to the beat of his own drum. Again, we love him because he dares to be himself.

It’s a lesson for us all!

An addendum – a Facebook friend read this and wrote to me: Yasmin I am a huge fan of yours but I think you are a tad off the mark with this article. How can you possibly say his success and popularity is down to the fact that he has always been himself? He spent most of his life hiding his true identity, denying his sexuality!

For me, I saw it differently. I saw it that he actually had the courage to come out. So many don’t. He has done. And it’s not like he is at the end of his career and revealing his true self was a last resort. He did it while his star is still rising. Props to him.

I should also add that I wasn’t just referring to his sexuality in my comment that he had the courage to be himself. I also meant that looking at his chart, I see someone who is brave about who he really is and that is appealing to us.

Also on Facebook, I asked astrologer Ed Tamplin if he would chime in on the question of why Ricky is such a good match for Australia – Ed is a master of serious Australian astrological matters! He generously replied:

“As you know I use the January 26 1788 5.23 am chart for Australia, because the 1901 chart omits half our history. That puts Ricky’s Aquarian Venus/Nodes on the Ozzie Sun and Ascendant. Venus is song and dance – but also popularity, and his Venus trine Pluto energizes this even more.” Thanks Ed, that’s a very big connection. You can visit Ed’s site here.
