Traveling like The Fool...

Hello! I am currently in the Cincinnati OH area and have been traveling since last Friday morning - early :) It's been an adventure, albeit a slow and meandering one. I try to be laid back but it's very difficult for someone like me with so much Virgo and Scorpio energy...so of course I have been working every day, just not so many hours!

It's so beautiful driving through the Mountains, so peaceful and green, lol. Where I live in Florida we've been having a bad drought and forest fires so the nice greenery and cooler weather further north has been more than welcome. I do so love traveling and seeing new things, places, and people. Karmically, for me, I have often been on the move in the past (in past lives and also in my childhood) so it is a 'natural' fit and helps me feel more peaceful.

I am well pleased with the Karmic Love Scopes I've started, I've seen the accuracy playing out in my own life and in those around me, so I hope that some of you will be able to benefit from them.

I have other things in the works but not sure when I will be able to present them as I have to deal with lawyers and court, etc when I return home (due to my car accident and subsequent injuries in 2005). I will be glad when it is all over with, not that it will ever be over with regarding the pain and doctors I will likely have to continue with indefinitely. The way people are these days often amazes me, how they can more or less ruin your life (or nearly so, I am such a positive person most of the time that I just struggle through it) and then still have the audacity to deny or try to take advantage of the injured person.

It's raining here today but I dare not complain, I haven't seen much rain in months!

Karma, Karma, Karma...

It's a sunny day here today in St. Pete but windy...a subtropical storm formed off the coast of GA a day or two ago and we've been feeling the breeze here! Tuesday morning was terrible with smoke so thick you could barely breathe if you opened the door, the result of fires in N Florida and Georgia and the storm blowing it down toward us...so, yeah, I'm very happy with today's weather :)

I've been thinking a lot about karma and how it builds and grows, changes, releases and how we can be our own best friend or worst enemy when it comes to our personal evolution. Sometimes it is difficult to see beyond our every day life and what is happening in the now and while living in the 'now' works for some, it doesn't work for all of us (myself included). Focusing on the past often helps me to not only understand what is happening now, but also understand how I can create my own future based on my past experiences. Our life path - our SOUL path - is circular, but not in the sense that it is a flat ongoing circle. Rather it is a spiral, we can circle up the path or circle downward. Consider Dante's Journey...or the DNA double helix...and as I am writing this, the symbolic world and spiral pattern becomes more than words in my mind. Saturn awakens from slumber...he is such a strong, spiritual planet so often treated with fear and loathing. His 28 year 'return' cycle marks major turning points in our lives and while these changes may not be easy, what would we do without this energy? Saturn may be personified as a cold, distant, father time figure but how do you envision God (the universe, Spirit)? Is your vision of Spiritual energy the all-knowing, forgiving, loving father? My vision of Spirit is of an objective, powerful energy source...sure, many of us long to return to that source, but it is so far beyond what we, as humans, know....I work with Metatron energy and this energy is not a loving, happy, let-me-take-care-of-you energy. It is a very powerful, objective source with little emotion - ok, no emotion - and a source of great insight and knowledge, but not in any sort of humanly comfort way. I feel he (that is what I consider this energy though in truth it is really sexless) feels that we can help ourselves, that we are responsible for ourselves and our actions, and that he is there to help us see how we are helping or harming ourself with our actions, behaviors, thought patterns, and beliefs.

I am currently writing an article for the website about Karmic Moon Signs and am also in the process of developing a new karmic scope - I would say more about it but as it stands, I will be the first and only to offer this type of scope on the web (to my knowledge, I looked and scoured google links for some time!) and I don't need the copycats to jump ahead of me and steal my ideas. I was the first on the web to offer an entire astrology site devoted to Love...there are so many others copying me now, it makes my head spin! That may be great for you, my customers and clients, as you have options and other's opininions on things but....

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Love, Light, and blessings,

Medical - Health Astrology

Well...I can't say enough about how amazing astrology really is...the more I learn, the more I want to learn. The accuracy is outstanding and I've run across some articles and formulas lately for something that interests me (death astrology) but something I will never practice professionally. My interest in Medical/Health astrology is growing each year and I have started my studies in it. While I love my work as a relationship astrologer, I feel that I will likely move into the medical field as I grow older...only time will tell.

What's intriguing is that I am studying my chart and my children's charts using my growing knowledge of indicators of health in the natal chart and the 'cookbooks' even are quite accurate. Of course there are complications and conflicts, but that's the astrologer's job to sort out...and sort out I am. It's amazing that it has taken me nearly 36 years to come to understand that gluten is like a poison to my body...but I opened up a medical astrology cookbook type thing and there it was under Virgo (I have a LOT of Virgo). That was a surprise! Too bad I didn't read that years ago...

So what's happening with the sites? I am preparing to post the Tarot scopes at Voices from Venus - http://www.voicesfromvenus.com/tarotscopes.html and the Love Scopes at Through Night's Fire Astrology - http://www.throughnightsfire.com/scopesfromvenus.html and I am building new indexes for the candles at Venus Illuminated - http://www.venusilluminated.com to make room for the numerous varieties of candles I will be offering by next year. In addition, I am still working on the Celtic Jewelry index at Venus Illuminated. It's slow and tedious process but will be done asap! :D I am adding so many lovely new talismans, amulets, and jewelry, I really can't wait to share with everyone!

At Through Night's Fire I am redoing the consulting pages yet again...there will be conflicts and differences on some of the pages until they are ready. If you didn't get a chance to see my photo I took of the Libra Full Moon in April, here is the link to the pic: http://www.throughnightsfire.com/Full_Moon_in_Libra_April_2__2007-2WMP.jpg
I will be taking that link off the front page soon, after all the Full Moon in Scorpio is coming! I was very pleased with the photo - I took it with my new digital camera and was simply stunned at the quality.

It's almost May so I better get moving...

A lovely day, but....

I am inside working...I have toyed with the idea of booting up the laptop and going out on the patio to finish up, but I am nearly done if I could prevent my mind from wandering! lol The tarot scopes for May are nearly complete...for a while there I felt I would not be able to get to them in time but I've been working 15 hour days again just to stay on top of things. I really do love my work and my websites and my clients and visitors...yet I will need some time for myself soon.

I may take Friday and Saturday off as my son's birthday (Gare :)) is the 28th and we are having a family cookout...I am thinking bacon-wrapped shrimp on the grill, but he is sure to want hot dogs! So we will see, I can swing for both and then figure out what else I want to make later on. And Friday I have planned a long walk on the beach...I like to give myself these little motivations to keep me going strong on my long days in front of the computer. I have been working out at the gym most mornings but it just isn't the same as being outside in nature...it's a struggle for me in FL as it gets so overwhelmingly hot here in the summer months. Eventually I will be in the UK all summer though, with patience, determination, and continued hard work.

For those of you who have inquired about my health, I am still in therapy 3 - 4 days a week but the TMD specialist has taken me down to every other week now, which I hope is good news. I still have the chiropractor and massage and physical therapy 3 days a week and no indication yet when that may change, though my chiro did say on Friday I am making headway again. He's an amazing chiro, so if you are in St. Petersburg, FL and need to heal, here is his website: http://www.floridachiropractor.com/ My chiro is Dr. Sandefur. His entire staff is wonderful and very caring and friendly.

Soooo...I suppose I should get back to it here in a moment...I am currently redoing all of the Astrology consultation pages too, so those should be up and live sometime this week. I am adding many new consultations that I hope my visitors/clients will find useful.

Venus Illuminated is coming along...I am adding so many new items it boggles the mind! lol It will be some time before it is complete BUT the Celtic Talisman Index should be done sometime in May. http://www.venusilluminated.com

Love, light, and blessings...

A new beginning...or just an update?

I've been blogging for a while on various sites sporadically and decided that now is the time to really get in gear and create a blog for the website(s). Sometimes it may seem that I am not doing many updates to the sites, or writing anything new, but the truth is I am working hard day after day to develop new content and keep on top of what I currently offer. When I have many clients at once I must turn my full attention to them - that is the main purpose after all, isn't it? My goal is to help others who come to me, so my clients are always top priority over free content! Unfortunately there are visitors who do not understand that and I receive some of the most terrible email sometimes if I miss a month of the free Love Scopes! Go figure...

I bet most of you didn't realize this was a one woman show, did you?? LOL

The primary purpose of the blog will be to keep my visitors informed of what I am working on, what's going on behind the scenes, and offer a place for me to explain why this or that wasn't done...all in all, I can be a rambler and I may not stay on topic but what I can offer is a unique, cruel, and creative look into the mind of this Astrologer/Writer/Poet/Tarot Reader/Metaphysician/Spiritual Consultant/Web Designer/Customer Service/Advertiser/eBaying Mother of 2...Yes, it gets hectic and very crazy sometimes, but I can say I live a VERY full and darkly beautiful life...

Don't say I didn't warn you...
