Eclipse Season: The Illusion of Truth
Mercury is going out of bounds today. A planet is considered to be OOB when its declination in the sky is beyond 23°27’. In this position, the planet is outside the boundary limits of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. It has reached the peak of one of its cycles. Mercury begins this stretch beyond a declination of 23°27’ in Sagittarius and does not return to its normal declination until January 4 2021 when it will be in the sign of Capricorn. This is a really long time for the messenger of the gods to be exploring the outer limits of its domain.

Setu releases us out of the physical world and into the world of spirit.

Reiki Journeys through Pregnancy: What I Observed As the Practitioner
Maddie first came to my office, when she was just 5 weeks pregnant. As she shared the news of her pregnancy with me, she was a beautiful blend of celebration, excitement and nerves. She very much arrived that first day with an unspoken delight, as if she wanted to shout her news from the rooftops...but she knew she couldn't, at least not yet. This joy was matched by a completely understandable anxiety...the kind of fear that can only come when you love something so truly and deeply that you never want to lose it.
