You may have been feeling the tension and anxiety building over the last week, and it’s almost over… except for those born under the signs of Taurus and Scorpio, in particular. This also applies to those with their Astrological Ascendants in either of these signs, as well. People born with the Sun in Leo and/or Aquarius rising will also feel the shift.

Valentine’s Day happens to occur today, and some of you will no doubt understand why The Valentine’s Day Massacre occurred on this date. After all, Mars rules guns, knives and explosions. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

The planet Mars is currently moving from the sign of Aries (which it rules), into the formidable sign of Taurus. As Mars moves from a Fire Sign into an Earth Sign, don’t be surprised at a rash of earthquakes, and accidents in the mountains. Also, air travel may be more dangerous than usual — as again, what goes up, must come down to Earth.

Tap on the image I made for this entry for a quick study in what to pay attention to. This powerful energy will be in strong effect for the next two weeks. So, make sure you keep some extra cash hanging around for emergencies. Also, pay attention to where you’re going, as Mars in Taurus will prove that you need to be extra cautious.

Take care of yourselves, and remember I’m always here for you. Just give me a call. It’s always a good time to schedule a Psychic and Astrological Reading with yours truly.

Blessings to all,

By now, you have all heard or read about the devastating events and wildfires destroying California. I was just getting ready to publish my predictions about the Astrological aspects regarding the New Moon in Scorpio, when I first heard the sirens and helicopters flying over my neighborhood in Westlake/Thousand Oaks, California.

Below is the blogpost I had just finished writing when all Hell broke loose — figuratively, and literally:

The New Moon in Scorpio occurs at 8:02am PDT at 15º11”, with 5º23” Sagittarius Rising.

It is interesting to note the following Sabian Symbols associated with these degrees:

1) 15º11” Scorpio: The symbol for this degree augurs danger.

2) 5º23” Sagittarius: The symbol for this degree is associated with melancholy and conditions of extreme austerity.

Pretty accurate, in my opinion. More information and Charts will be added in the next coming days. Until then, please stay safe and take care of yourselves! Blessings to All, ~V~

Below is the Astrological Chart for the New Moon in Scorpio, which has unleashed holy Hell in Ventura County:

The Full Moon in Pisces will happen this morning at 4:56am (PDT). This is a powerful, spiritual time — as it is the final Full Moon of the Astrological Year. As such, it is a time of emotional endings. Events have hit their peak, and now presage the final months of the Solar Year.

Take a look at your life. What have you accomplished so far this year? How much remains to be completed? It’s a great time to re-evaluate your plans, and if you don’t have a plan you must be a Pisces yourself!

The Full Moon represents the end of a cycle. As such, people tend to get very emotional at this time. When this cycle ends in such an emotionally deep sign as Pisces, it can lead to all kinds of breakdowns and tendency toward excess. Even the planet! The torrential rains in Hawaii are a good example. The uncontained wildfires. The rampant news of blatant disregard for others, (including animals) is rife in the news.

At this time, there will also be a great deal of news regarding the deaths of icons, and important leaders. It’s like that verse in the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3:2)… “A time to be born, a time to die…” It’s the turn of a great wheel, and we simply have to get on with the important matters at hand.

The Full Moon in Pisces can also trigger deep emotional states, and lead to extremely erratic behavior. Pisces is the Zodiacal ruler of the 12th House of Karma, Hospitals, End of Life and Self-Undoing. It’s definitely important to take your medication if you suffer from mental illness. If you suffer from depression, it’s important for you to seek proper counseling at this time. Please seek a mental health professional, and reach out — it can save your life!

We may not like it, but it’s all a part of Life. Whatever you do, please face what’s in front of you, and be grateful that you have a choice as to how to perceive and react to whatever is going on in your life right now. Don’t drown yourself in alcohol or drugs (a very Piscean tendency, by the way).

Allow yourself to feel things deeply. Treasure the experience of being alive. If you have to cry, go ahead. Pisces is a water sign, after all. Start a dream journal, and start taking stock of the information your subconscious mind is trying to reveal to you.

Other things you can do now for healing are to do a Past-Life Regression, Aromatherapy, Yoga, Massage. Get it all out. Relax. Reconnect to your emotions — to your family, loved ones, pets. Get out in nature if possible, near lakes and clear water. Clear your mind.

If you tune into your deepest self right now, you can inspire yourself to plan the next episode of your life. It’s up to you.

Blessings to all,
~V~

Great Tidings to you all upon this wondrous Midsummer’s Eve … which, by now is Midsummer’s Day.

It’s the night when the Queen of the Faeries — Mab, opens the door of Magick, between our world and her own.

I have always lived a life full of visions, music and magick since childhood. I prayed to the Sun and Moon, and spoke to the ocean tides, in love with Nature. Magick was always real to me, and continues to be.

I learned of Queen Mab as a child, and have been paying homage to her for many years, receiving great blessings over time.

Mab loves flowers, candy, glass beads and all kinds of sweet treats and trinkets. There are traditions of offering her these items, including the burning of summer incense and blue and white candles in her honor.

At midnite on June 23rd, (tonite), I did my yearly ritual to Queen Mab, and wrote her quite a lengthy poem, which I could tell delighted her. (I will publish it soon.)

In Mab’s honor, and to tune into her mystical presence, I made a special Midsummer’s Eve Faery Queen Oil, a combination of Frankincense, Pine, Rosemary and other summery scents, careful to use a magickal number of drops for each. (Contact me for the recipe).

After consecrating my altar and all the items, I conjured forth the denizens of the Faery Realm; The Sylphs of the East, the Salamanders of the South, the Undines of the West, and the Gnomes of the North, offering them sweets and other delights.

I anointed my candles with the Faery oil, and poured out spring water into a silver bowl, filled with magickal stones. Of course, no offering to Mab would be complete without adding some delicate flowers, including a rose wreath. Then, I burned a scroll filled with written wishes inside my cauldron, and afterward scattered the ashes to the four winds.

As the incense wafted thru the warm nite air, I scryed into my magick mirror, placed within a silver bowl filled with the blessed spring water. What visions, I may not tell — but, all good Faery Scryers receive personal mystical messages

In my vision, Queen Mab rode toward me from an astral vortex, in her magnificent Faery carriage, (drawn by 4 white horses) and swooped up my offerings, laughing wildly — as she loves to do.

Queen Mab speaks to me clairaudiently with the most lovely voice, and tells me secrets regarding Nature. She always brings inspiration and joy.

Faery folk herald Mab’s arrival filling the air with music from other worlds, which is ethereal and haunting — unlike any other sound I’ve ever heard. They play their flower trumpets, singing her praises in their tiny, gleeful voices, as they lead her procession into our world.

Queen Mab, and her Faeries will celebrate with us for a day of joy and glee, enchanting us all with their presence, if we but take the time to listen. May you all hear the song. ~V~
