YEAR OF THE DRAGON, PLUS MARS RETROGRADE IN VIRGO

       Dear Friends, Welcome to the year of the Dragon!  It actually started yesterday with the new moon in Aquarius, but after a busy weekend teaching Spiritual-Psychic Development seminar, I was taking the day off to rest & relax (which is why I didn’t write you with my dragon-New Year greetings then).

 

            In any case, you’ve got the whole year ahead to ponder the significance of the Dragon & the effects its energies will have upon you.  In my new “Cynthia’s Cosmic Almanac” book, I talk about how Dragon is a very fiery energy.  Fire is a “mover & shaker”, cosmically speaking.  Therefore, this fiery, passionate year of the Dragon can be a good time for taking significant life action, and getting things done.  However, in a Dragon year, one must watch out for the “shadow side” of the Dragon, and avoid being consumed by rage, obsession, or sarcasm.

            For more info on the implications of the Chinese year of the Dragon that just started yesterday, please refer to Chapter 3 in my new book, “Cynthia’s Cosmic Almanac”.  (Just in case you do not yet have a copy, I will put the ordering info down at the end of this e-mail).

 

            Speaking of “yesterday”….it was quite a dynamic day.  Not only was it the start of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, and the new moon in Aquarius, but Mars also went retrograde.  This is an event that only happens every 22 months.  Because Mars does not retrograde that often, we aren’t that familiar with Mars retrograde energy on a collective level, so it can really screw with things.  <<<<<<<<<<<<CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING, and learn about the effects of Mars Retrograde.

2012 is the BEGINNING, not the end!
Welcome to the 2012 Shift!

Dear Friends, happy New Year!  As I am writing this first newsletter of the year, I am thinking of you and your well-being.  With the help of the healing angels & masters, I am affirming your peace, joy, health, and abundance in the year ahead…may 2012 be the best year for you ever!

 

If you have been reading this newsletter for the last month or so, you know that I took a “sabbatical” from doing readings & teaching class during most of December.  I purposely call it a “sabbatical” and not a “vacation”, since although I did not do readings or teach class, I did actually take the time to get a LOT of writing done during this period (and believe me, when I say a “lot”, I do mean a LOT).  One of the projects I have been working on during my sabbatical is creating materials to help all of you become more uplifted & informed about the changes & shifts that are occurring in 2012.

 

As you probably already know, this is a year of great cosmic significance, not only because of the end of the Mayan Calendar, but also because of several other extraordinary celestial phenomenon taking place throughout the year, especially in May, June, July, September, and November.  January is no “slacker” either in regards to significant cosmic shifts.

I won’t go into all the details right now, since my sabbatical is not “officially” over until tomorrow, and I have all month (and all year) to write about these things for you anyway. 

 

However, what I would like to do now is just share with you a couple of paragraphs that I created this very morning about the 2012 Galactic Alignment…for even though December 21^st, 2012 is still nearly a year away, I know that this date is looming heavily on the minds of many right now in this very moment.  Therefore, I am sharing these words that I have just written with you, in hopes that they will bring you hope & inspiration in the year ahead, and the wisdom to keep going on your path of spiritual development, no matter what happens in your life or the world around you.

 

Enjoy! 

          Many Blessings,Cynthia
  

A Tiny Excerpt of What I am Preparing for You on the 2012 Shift

 “…This is still an exciting time to be living in, and it can have many wonderful positive ramifications for you!  Yes, we are going to continue to face many challenges in the years ahead, including dealing with overpopulation, social unrest, extreme weather & climate changes, and a rapidly shifting economy.  However, in a Universal sense, all of these changes are occurring to assist humanity in moving towards a less materialistic, more egalitarian & spiritually focused society.

            I predict that there will be a great spiritual renaissance and intellectual rebirth once we get past this Winter Solstice Galactic alignment.  I say this not because some cosmic fairy is going to wave her wand on Dec. 21^st 2012 and make all our problems go away.  The problems will still be there when we wake up on the 22^nd.  However, the difference is that once this day has come & gone, people are going to figure out that the world really is going to continue on.  And once they (I mean, “we”) figure that out, then they are also going to realize that it is time to start getting busy living & getting on with life, instead of waiting around to see what giant catastrophe awaits them next.

            Yes, there could be catastrophes and disasters around this time, but there have always been catastrophes & disasters, just as these catastrophes & disasters have always been eventually followed by times of renewed peace, hope, and contentment.  This 2012 shift will be no different.  Whatever challenges we face, we will get through them one way or the other, and we will come out the other side to a time of renewal & spiritual rebirth.  Spring always follows winter, even if there is an ice age and it takes a really long time…smile.  December 21, 2012 is not the “end”, it is the beginning.”   

       Many Blessings,
       Cynthia Killion

            P.S.  To start this New Year off right, I also wanted to send you a bouquet of flowers.  Please CLICK HERE to see it.

This is a picture of the flowers that my friends Patti & Shirley sent me for my birthday….aren’t they wonderful?  My birthday was on the 1^st, but the flowers arrived a couple of days earlier, which was just fantastic, because I moved into my birthday coming from a heart-space of knowing that I was already *loved*, which made it a super birthday for me! 

Now, I am sharing these flowers with you, so that you can go into the YEAR ahead, being in the heart-space of knowing that you too are *loved*.  Happy New Year, beloved one!

 

P.S.S.  If for some reason the above link did not work for you, try pasting or typing the following letters into your browser, so that you can receive your bouquet-of-new-year-love…

Dec. 10th Full Moon Eclipse Ushers in New 6 Month Cycle of Healing

Dear Friends, I hope you are having a wonderful day.  I know that I promised you I would send you a little update about the full moon lunar eclipse happening this Saturday morning, so here it is :)

 

The first part of this newsletter is just a few short paragraphs about this weekend & the next few days.  The rest of this blog is about how this particular eclipse might affect you for the next SEVERAL MONTHS ahead.  So for best results, please read BOTH parts….

 

This eclipse is taking place early morning on this next Saturday, December 10^th.  It is occurring at the time of the full moon, when the sun and moon are opposite from each other, which is what makes it a lunar eclipse.  As you probably already know, full moons tend to bring out the “crazy” in people anyway, so with their being a total lunar eclipse on top of it, you can expect the energies to be pretty HIGH.    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  CLICK HERE to read more about the effects of the eclipse...... 

Mercury Retrograde & Thanksgiving Astro-Alert

The very, very short version:  Mercury goes retrograde at 2:19 am Eastern time on November 24^th.  Yes, that is this Wednesday night/Thursday morning…..as in, Thanksgiving.  What a fateful time for the planet of communication, transportation, technology, and travel to go retrograde!  Late Thursday night/early Friday morning (Nov 24^th/25^th) there is also a new moon Solar Eclipse.  Yes, really…..not only is Mercury going retrograde on Thanksgiving, but “Black Friday” is hosting an eclipse.  I am not kidding.  All of this is going to make for a very interesting holiday, I’m sure, full of LOTS of dynamic energy. 

 

If you know what to do with this dynamic energy, and how to properly respond, you will do fine.  Suffice it to say that *patience* will be needed this thanksgiving holiday, and all the way through to December 13^th, when Mercury goes retrograde again. 

 

Slow down and give yourself plenty of time to get there (wherever “there” is), and don’t be surprised when you encounter the delays, setbacks, or confusion that is just part of life under the beams of Mercury retrograde.  This is a good time to, as they say, “just go with the flow”, and not try to push or shove things to move too fast, or go a certain way.

 More Detailed Info: 

The problem here is that most of the “masses” do not know a thing about what Mercury retrograde means, or how to best “flow” with it (let alone, the Solar Eclipse).  So not only do you have to worry about managing your own energy field when Mercury is in retrograde & communications/equipment/technology/transportation/plans are breaking down & constantly changing, but you may also have to help others deal with their own personal dramas & reactions.

 

You see, Mercury retrograde is all about change, and being responsive and adaptive to last minute changes. 

 

In order to do well during a Mercury retrograde period, you need to really be “in the zone” where you are trusting Spirit and just “going with the flow”, ready to change or adapt your plans at a moment’s notice.  In other words, you can’t be fixated on anything happening at a certain exact time, or insistent that things must be done “this” certain way, whatever that way is.  If you are insistent on these things, then you are going to give yourself some very big headaches, because Mercury retrograde does not play that game.

 

  Also, Mercury retrograde is a time to review, revisit, and renew….but not a time to make lasting decisions or charge forward.  In essence, it is a period of required period of introspection & rest built right into the astrological calendar 3 times a year.  It is as if the heavens themselves are saying, “Slow down.  Take it easy for awhile.  Pause, reconsider, and reflect on where you are headed.”  Mercury retrograde is an excellent time for meditation and contemplation, as well as self-evaluation & exploration.

           

The old saying is that anything that starts with the pre-fix “re” is probably a good activity during Mercury retrograde, including reflecting, re-doing, re-making, re-inventing, re-awakening, rejuvenating, renewing, removing, and releasing. 

 

It is generally not a good idea to start new projects at this time, make major purchases, or sign contracts unless you absolutely have to (even then, it is still not a good idea).  I have seen many people suffer very painful, long-lasting consequences because they choose to ignore this no contract/no major project starting “rule” of Mercury retrograde.  All I can say is you will probably only do it once, because experience can be a very effective (if somewhat painful) teacher.          

           

I would like to tell you more about what to expect during this Mercury retrograde period.  However, I am cooking thanksgiving dinner this year for me & my extended family for the first time ever, and I really need to get back to my thanksgiving preparations! 

 So what I am going to do is put a link below to an article on my website that I previously wrote about Mercury retrograde “Do’s and Don’ts”.  

This short little article will probably give you ALL the information you need to make the best out of this time, and avoiding “overloading” or getting too worked up about things.  I strongly suggest that you take a few moments to quickly scan this article, and get some more tips for surviving this holiday-retrograde period with your sanity still intact (smile).

 

Again, this upcoming/current Mercury Retrograde cycle begins this Thanksgiving Thursday (Nov. 24^th) and continues until December 13^th.  So even if you don’t get this until after thanksgiving, you can still benefit from this information.

P.S.  On another subject entirely different….Just so you know, I still have a few (well, maybe just a couple) of reading slots left for next week.  Then, I am taking an entire month off from doing readings.  So if you were wanting to get a private in-person or phone session with me before the end of the year, please call or e-mail me ASAP, or register through the website.  Thanks!

THE 11-11-11 SHIFT

Dear Friends, hope you are having a wonderful week.  The weather here today is cold and dreary and wet….just perfect for sitting down and writing a newsletter for you.  For some time now, I’ve been wanting to share with you about the 11-11-11 phenomenon, and what it might mean for all of us currently incarnated on the planet.  I think today is the perfect day to do it (smile).

 

            As you have probably already realized, this next upcoming Friday is 11-11-2011 on the Gregorian calendar.  Eleven is considered a very sacred number by numerologists.  It represents the master teacher, universal love, and awakening to conscious partnership with the Divine and angelic forces.  Eleven is the higher octave of two, and thus is connected to the feminine energies of sensitivity, compassion, and intuition.

            The calendar date for this next Friday contains three elevens, giving a very strong “eleven” theme to that day, and perhaps the days beyond.  Being a “double” of one of the single numbers, eleven is considered a “master number” by numerologists.  Even though it is a double of the number 1, it actually reduces down to 2 (numerologically speaking). Therefore, this number has a lot to do with lessons of spiritual balance & cooperation.  Since eleven is the first of the master numbers, it also represents the Master teacher and inspired leadership.

 

So what does 11-11-11 mean for all of us living on planet of earth?  Well, generally speaking, when the number eleven occurs in a cycle, it shows the need to get centered & balanced, and to move away from extremes.  <<<<<<<< CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
