Blessings & Abundance from Goddess Lakshmi this Solstice

Beautiful goddess seated on a chariot,

Delighted by songs on lustful elephants,

Bedecked with lotuses, pearls and gems,

Lustrous as fire, radiant as gold,

Resplendent as the sun, calm as the moon,

Mistress of cows and horses —

Take away poverty and misfortune

Bring joy, riches, harvest and children.

This beautiful hymn is to Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of good fortune, wealth, prosperity and generosity. She relieves material strife and poverty and showers blessings of abundance. 

Who doesn’t love that? 

Material comfort and riches are things we all crave. We dream of beautifying our homes, taking amazing vacations , experiencing the luxurious side of life and many of us dream of having so much that we can share and transform other people’s lives too!  

I’ve survived bankruptcy and have lived on the other side of abundance for a long time. I know what it’s like not to have much and to feel like there is no way out but when I look around my home today, on this beautiful day of the Summer Solstice, that time in my life seems like a scene from a Sci-fi movie. Today I have so many of the things that Lakshmi brings:

I have material wealth 

I have emotional wealth 

I have spiritual wealth 

I have physical wealth 

I am dreaming of a world without poverty today and my Summer Solstice prayer to Lakshmi is more of this for me and more for everyone else too!

Receive it, friends.

Return of PLUTO in US Birthchart

Dear Friends

The world of astrology is abuzz with talk of the Return of PLUTO in the Birth Chart of the USA.

The birth date of the USA is recorded as July 4, 1776 on the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Broadly speaking, this statement was about 3 things: Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness. Pluto was moving slowly (as it always does) and was stationed 27 Degrees of Capricorn in the Second House. On a birth chart, the Second House is related to all things money/wealth/values and Capricorn is linked to all things banking, big business, government and systems. Now, hundreds of years later with its return, we can expect that these areas are the ones that will be activated.

Also known as planet of the underworld, Pluto is associated with:

  • Death (in a metaphorical sense)
  • Financial reforms (debt, deficit, default, taxes etc)
  • Destruction
  • Crisis
  • Transformation
  • Rebirth

On February, 20, 2022 (ping*ping*ping* goes my number-wired brain) is when Pluto will return to 27 Degrees of Capricorn. In Astrology-speak, it will be “exact”. So, is this when it will all come crashing down? Well, I couldn’t answer that for a million bucks (and perhaps a million bucks will not really be worth much once Pluto is done with us) but we are definitely in for something BIG in the areas that will be activated. In fact, this activation is already underway.

Pluto’s return will have a huge impact on the economy of the USA as it comes to break down the old and expose what needs to come to light. The impact of the massive stimulus program undertaken to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic as well as murmuring of increases in taxes (which are no doubt to deal with debt/deficits shrouded in darkness) are two aspects I will be keeping an eye on. Could we see the US Dollar take a tumble resulting in it losing its status as the “default currency” of the world? Again, we can only wait and see, but I’m leaning towards yes.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Pluto’s transit may be destructive and dramatic but the collapse of the old always presents an opportunity for something new. I am spending time in meditation, visualizing the NEW. Maybe you can join me? Let’s hold that vision and energetically drive the new agenda as we hold on to our seats.

What are your predictions or thoughts about the return of Pluto? Drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you.
