Element: Earth
Ah…From the fiery, get moving Aries Sun we now move into the pleasure days of the Taurus Sun. Taurus says, “relax and enjoy the sensuality of spring. Open to receive the renewal that beauty brings.”
It’s time to savor every moment of life and indulge your senses as you connect to the reawakening Earth.
This time of year gently renews and restores both your body and soul as the healing qualities of spring flowers and the fresh leaves on the trees open to reveal their essence. The Tibetans use this time of year to heal from grief and illness by literally sitting downwind from flowers. They know the profound medicine of renewal that comes from the fresh pollen.
To experience the greatest level of personal spring renewal, go be with the flowers and fresh leaves. The period of fresh blooms only exists for a few weeks each year. Take advantage of it. Go to your local flower center, botanical garden, or garden tour. Bathe all your senses in this precious substance.
Also, get your hands dirty by planting some of your own flowers. Connecting with the soil enriches the body’s harmony with the Earth realm.
Find time some lovely afternoon to lie on the ground and relax, feeling the precious Earth underneath. This will strengthen your relationship to the physical realm. Taurus treasures the pleasure of all the physical senses. Enjoy. Luxuriate. Get a massage. Take time to renew on every level.
Refresh your physical world by spring-cleaning your house, freshening your garden, and fluffing your wardrobe and physical appearance.
And remember your physical world relationship to your finances. Taurus loves the pleasures that money can provide and works toward a secure stable economic flow. Allow this sign to support your financial goals this month.
Four times a year, when the sun or new moon are in Earth signs, it is extremely helpful and important to focus on taking solid steps toward your financial goals. This quarterly energy of anchoring helps you to stabilize and support the other elements, so that they all work together effectively throughout the year toward your prosperity.

Are you leaking or adding energy on the physical level?
Posted by: | Comments
Have you ever walked into a messy room and noticed that you suddenly feel overwhelmed? I know from experience, that if my desk is full of clutter I automatically feel like there is too much to do and I can’t focus effectively. Disorder causes energetic leaks. I know when I take a few minutes to bring order to a mess it frees my mind to focus on the task at hand.
Years ago when I was learning “Spiritual Laws,” the first law states that “a spiral swings out from disciplined order.” This means that a creation evolves or expands to its next level once the previous level has been brought into order. It is difficult to be effective at creation when there is a mess or disorder. The physical Earth realm functions best with order and beauty.
In business or in life, creating effective systems for handling things brings order and energy. Let’s take money clutter as an example. If your bills are all over the place it’s difficult to find them when it comes time to pay them. It takes extra time and starts the process with frustration. Both the extra time and the frustration bring a leak of your valuable energy. Read More→
Are You Leaking Life Success and Business Growth Energy?
Posted by: | Comments
Sometimes it’s the little things that cause the energy of your success or growth to leak away slowly, like the air out of a balloon. You may not even realize it until your entire dream feels like a flattened pile of latex.
So what drains the energy out of your desires like a thief in the night? It’s the simple things really. The leaks happen in places where you slide into old habits or patterns that don’t support your intention. We all do it from time to time, but the important thing is to notice when you are engaging in behaviors that drain your creation energy and then make an adjustment.

Step 3 of 3: Uncover Your Core Inner Creation Team Players and Dynamically Boost Your Ability to Align with Success!
Do you have a winning inner creation team?
Do they play well together, giving you the feeling of scoring success often?
Or perhaps, you feel like they are in one big food fight in the creation cafeteria of life and not supporting each other at all?
Either way, playing well or completely uncooperative, you can assist your inner creation team in achieving greater levels of grace-filled success. Winning teams are known for continuing to take their game to the next level and those frustrated with their results are looking for a new way to coach their team to victory.
Step Into Spring: The Wheel of the Year Turns
Posted by: | Comments
With the Cross Quarter Day Imbolc
Celebrated on February 1 or 2
Imbolc is the cross-quarter Wheel of the Year point following Winter Solstice. Also known as Brighid’s day or Candlemas, it marks the starting point of spring. Here you begin to subtly notice that the days are lengthening and, depending on the area you live in, you may actually start to see signs of spring. Here in Georgia where I live, the daffodils consistently open sometime around Imbolc, although this year they may be later because of a colder winter. When they do start the daffodils begin the steady wave of beautiful bloom that lasts through the glorious spring.
For others in colder climates, Imbolc may simply bring the promise of spring as the light of the sun slowly begins to increase. Tune in this year to the subtle shifts you notice in the air and light around and after Imbolc. What does it signal internally for you? What things do you get a renewed urge to do?

Winter Solstice ~ Sun Moves Into Capricorn
Posted by: | Comments
Winter Solstice exact point Dec 21 9:30pm & Dec 22 12:30am
Winter Solstice window is from Dec 20-23 depending on your time zone.
Elements: Capricorn, Earth
The solstices and equinoxes mark the extreme light, dark, and balanced points of the cycle of the sun. In the Northern Hemisphere we have the shortest day and longest night on winter solstice, and then the days slowly begin to lengthen again. This is important to you for several reasons:
1) After winter solstice the subtle growing light starts a fresh growing cycle for a new year. The more you align your creations with this growing cycle the more it boosts your ability to bring your personal and professional creations into form. You are aligning your creations with the increasing sunlight. Think about what that does for plants. It is the sun that springs the plants and seeds to life and it will do the same for your creations.
2) The days leading up to winter solstice are the darkest of the year and the darker days urge you to sleep and dream more. This is an important time to tune into the guiding messages you hear for your life. Pay attention to your dreams, and spend some time in reflection and journaling about what you want to grow in the year ahead.
