This is a very active time of the year: Christmas, Chanukah, the Solstice, Yule, New Year and the powerful last New Moon of 2022 (in Capricorn).
But I want you to know one thing: everything is working exactly as it should, according to nature’s divine plan.
This year, the Winter/Summer Solstice of December 21st falls on the day 3 E’ within Chol Q’ij according to the Mayan calendar. The nawal E’ rules over travel and exploration – both physical journeys and those within. When paired with the number 3, challenges on these journeys could arise and it is generally advised to expect delays, disruptions, cancellations, etc. We are better off spending the day going INWARD for some exploration on these days. Solstice is also an excellent time for ceremony to ask our guides to light up our path ahead.
Access to all that is magical and divine with ease and grace!
Ritual and ceremony have become a big part of my life and by performing & refining my practice, many ordinary moments have become sacred experiences. Looking back, that is exactly what I dreamed-in last Solstice:
Phew! I didn’t realize until this very moment how powerful that intention was.
If you are planning to do a SOLSTICE RITUAL (and I sure hope you do because the new moon 2 days later will help to amplify those new intentions) remember to also reflect on what you are grateful for. When we acknowledge our gifts, we cultivate a greater capacity to receive.
I am very grateful for our journey together!
Abundant blessings to you and yours and happy holidays. I would love to hear about your traditions at this time of year.
Although I practice gratitude throughout the year, I really make the effort at Thanksgiving to make a note of my blessings.
I created a Solstice ceremony that has now become a family tradition and it fills me with joy to hear about everyone’s blessings. (You can read more about this tradition in my book, Many Gifts – Seeing beyond the Setbacks).
The biggest things on my list for this year’s Thanksgiving ceremony include:
1. My family: The kids are all off doing their own things and loving life. My parents are doing okay (with a few health hiccups) and although we lost Richard’s mom this year, they are all at peace.
2. My book: Sharing my story is one of the bravest and most satisfying things I have ever done. I tapped into my creative side again, released the shame, and found my voice. I plan to use my bold voice (quite literally) to pursue another goal but I will share more about that in a few weeks:-)
3. My writing coach, Lee Mayimele: Lee is more than a writing coach to me. She has become a friend. But, it’s her work process that I am so grateful for. Lee is a dream weaver! She uses her intuitive gifts extensively in her work to get guidance for each project, each client, each moment. As she receives messages, Downloads, and guidance she very gently shares the information to check for resonance. In my case, Lee’s intuitive nudges were always spot on. It’s the best feeling to know that you are being supported energetically. Lee calls it “holding space” and I believe that this is the future of all things corporate. If we can use our hearts more, we all win. (www.leemayimele.com)
4. My home: Man, I love my home! I also love the man in my home. I was watching him teach his boys his trade (flooring) the other day, and I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I love seeing Richard so alive with purpose. The energy in our home is blessed because we are both pursuing the things that light us up and everyone who comes into our space is blessed by the energy.

Don’t forget that there is a very special lunar eclipse happening this Friday, November 19th and that on the next New Moon—December 4th—we will have the most dramatic kind of eclipse of all, a total solar eclipse! Mark your calendars and prepare for fireworks.
Let me also take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. In between the turkey and fun, spend some time counting your blessings. More will certainly show up.

I know that I’ve told you about my full moon rituals before but hey, what about new moons? They’re special too and we have a fabulous one on Wednesday October 6, 2021 in the sign of Libra.
New Moons are usually a day of reflection and visualization. A monthly date-night with our own imaginations. I plan to let my date dress up and go to town! I’ve already set up a little station with paper, magazines, a gluestick and some scissors. We’re going old-school babyyyy.
Now here’s something exciting that I didn’t know before:
New moons mark the start of a chapter that will end when there is a corresponding FULL MOON in the same sign 6 months later. In this case, April 16, 2022. So I have a challenge for you. Spend some time journalling under the new moon and then look at those notes again around April 16, 2022. It will be interesting to see what shows up for you. Full moons have a way of illuminating key areas, and my guess is that your case will be no different.
Challenge accepted?
Before I run off, please be warned that Mercury is still retrograde and that this can cause miscommunication + issues with technology/mechanics and at the time of this new moon, this energy will be amplified. It’s nothing to worry about, just something to remember so that when things go belly-up (like the Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp blackout on Monday) you find ways to ground yourself.
I have faith in you. Happy new moon, friends!

Are you looking for some winning lottery numbers? I would bet on number 8! I’m kidding. But can you feel that? I definitely can. There is an explosive energy in the air. The ancient cultures wrote this. We are at the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal. I found out that another name for this portal is also the INFINITY PORTAL, represented by the number 8.
Today is special. It’s an energetic activation of the numbers 8/8, August: eighth month, in the sign of Leo the lion, on the eighth day of the year. I LOVE NUMBERS! Can you tell? (I’m a tax accountant by profession and my brain is wired this way)
The number 8 in Numerology represents:
*abundance *prosperity *inner wisdom
It is also a number associated with karma.
The shape reminds me of balance and harmony. I like the way everything is connected in one constant flow. It is symbolic of giving and receiving, our inter-connectedness with every living thing and also a reminder that energy is never static. WE ARE PART OF THE FLOW.
“Lucky number 8!”
In Chinese culture, the number 8 is considered the luckiest number of all! There are people who make sure that the number 8 goes into their children’s names to give them the best possible chance of success and prosperity.
The Orion constellationalso aligns perfectly with the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt at the time that Sirius aligns perfectly with the Sun. This also happens at the time of the peak of the INFINITY PORTAL. Incredible!
So, my friends, look out for the new moon. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a wish list and read it out loud. Manifestations are on offer and, unlike lotto numbers the results are guaranteed. It is written in the stars:-)

P.S. A word of warning: The new moon in Leo is in a conjunction with Mercury. This means that Mercury is essentially combust. It is forming a tight T-Square with Uranus in Taurus and activating some heavy energy — a continuation of energy that has been around with the Saturn-Uranus Square. What a mouthful huh? Well, without going too deep I wanted to mention this because it could mean that many of us will be dealing with INCREASED FEELINGS OF ANXIETY, AGITATION, DESPAIR, AND PAIN. This is stuff we have been dealing with all year, but this new moon will bring it up more. So be aware and take time to ground yourself. xoxo
