Wow, June is going to be such a busy month for me on a personal level.  We sold our unit so I have been busily packing, which of course, also includes going through things and doing a clean out.  Settlement is on the 7^th June and then the following weekend my son and I are flying to Perth for my Grandfathers 90^th birthday!  I was meant to be going to Dubbo on the last weekend of June, but I have postponed that because if I went, I truly think I would be burning myself out.  So I am hoping that will be in July or August sometime.

I was very excited to be asked to attend the Westpac Rescue helicopter service fundraiser on Sunday, 20^th May.  There were 90 ladies at a high tea and it was a wonderful time, I had a line-up of at least 4 people at a time, it was nice and fast – 5 minutes for $5 and I didn’t stop from 2 – 5pm, even though it was supposed to finish at 4.30pm!  Some of the lovely ladies got me a coffee, and a lamington and then some little scones with jam and cream, so thank you to them!  I truly enjoy doing these kinds of things, where it gives me a chance to help out a good cause.

Did any of you celebrate Samhain (Halloween)?  I didn’t do the whole proper altar with red apples and fallen leaves, I just had my Buddha statue surrounded by lit candles (if you watch my facebook page, you would have seen a photo).  I then just meditated and asked my loved ones who have passed, and there are a lot of them, to come through if they wanted to.  Before I started I asked my husband if he wanted to say hi to anyone and one of the people he mentioned was his grandmother, she came through very strongly talking about beetroot juice (fresh) and then showed me a man’s wallet, I didn’t understand what she was doing but when I explained it to my husband, he told me that she always used a wallet and not a ladies purse!  So that was a beautiful confirmation for him to receive from his Grandmother.

If anyone is wondering why I celebrated Halloween on 30 April and not 31 October, it is because the pagan festivals are relative to the time of year, not the date, so here in the Southern Hemisphere that means at the end of April.  I mean think about it, why would we be honouring those that have passed in Spring when life is coming forth?  It’s the coming of winter and everything dies off so a wonderful time to think of our loved ones.

YULE

We are coming into the time of year when we celebrate what is traditionally known as Yule, this year it is celebrated on the 21^st June.

It is a festival to celebrate the re-birth of the sun and it is during the winter solstice which is the shortest day of the year (so why do we celebrate Christmas in summer, here in the southern hemisphere??)  This is a time to turn your face towards the sun and welcome its energy into your body.  Let go of negative thoughts and re-energise yourself and start looking forward to longer and warmer days.  It is also a time when we look at our shadow side that part of yourself that you might wish to accept more or maybe improve and think about ways to do this.

Moon report for June 2012 by Michelle

Full Moon:

The Full Moon this month occurs on June 4 and is a partial Lunar Eclipse with the Moon at 14 degrees Sagittarius and the Sun in the opposite sign of Gemini at 14 degrees. An Eclipse is an intensified Full (or New) Moon, with the Full Moon a culmination time, or a time for change and releasing. Sagittarius is the sign of the higher mind; higher education, teaching, law, philosophy, travel, publishing, religion, beliefs, justice and morality. Gemini is the sign of communication; speaking, reading, writing, learning, the rational mind, information-gathering and dissemination, and making connections. This may be a time for exploring and letting go of thoughts and beliefs which no longer serve you, and for finding ways of expressing your own truth.

New Moon:

The New Moon occurs on June 20 with the Sun and Moon both coming together at 29 degrees of Gemini. The New Moon is a time for new opportunities and new beginnings, and for setting intentions around anything you wish to manifest. Since this New Moon takes place in the intellectual and communicative sign of Gemini, our minds will be more active. It is the perfect time to speak your affirmations out loud, and to set goals for the month around the areas of networking and sharing thoughts and ideas, new communication skills, writing, starting study routines, and socialising.     

ADORNING MAGIC – HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF CRYSTAL JEWELLERY by Trudie

Almost everyone is drawn to crystals, even people not into New Age beliefs. Whether it’s a small rose quartz tucked in a handbag, an Amethyst sitting on a computer, or a moonstone under the pillow, there is an ever growing love affair with these magical minerals.

Crystal jewellery is very popular, and although a crystal is selected for particular attributes such as easing stress, warding off negative energies, or enhancing psychic abilities, how and where it is worn has significant effects. For example:

Worn around the neck on a long chain over the heart centre area

• Stimulates the thymus and increases the efficiency of the immune system. It also amplifies the subtle body energies, and creates protection from   negative energies. (always remember that the best protection is the power of your own love).

Placed around the neck

• They stimulate the thyroid and parathyroid, excellent for respiratory problems and sore throats, and helps promote clear & loving communication.

 Clasped around the wrist as a bracelet

• Determine first which side you wish to wear it. The left wrist will be working with the crystal energies as a receiver of their particular energy. It will be bringing it into your energy systems & chakras to be utilised in a harmonious way to restore balance to your bodies.  It can also be for energising and revitalising. Wearing it on the right side is helpful for clearing old traumas patterns, pain and blocks. It can draw out and release toxins on the physical as well as the etheric, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Placed around the ankle

• The left side is more helpful for grounding, being in the body, & nurturing. Connecting more to the Earth and receiving the earth’s energy and connectedness of all. On the right ankle it helps with more grounding your purpose here and walking your path with confidence and ease. For integrating and standing strong in your own light.

For all of you out there who love your pets, and I know that there are a lot of you!  Michelle’s husband Peter, is an exceptional artist and draws people’s pets.  This is something that I am most definitely going to do.  If you would like to check out some of Peter’s work please visit his website www.houseportraits.com – he draws houses as well and I am amazed at the detail he provides!!

A picture of a beloved pet would make a great gift, don’t you think?!!

Change to my pricing and readings:

I have been guided to drop my one hour reading option.  I don’t know why but I keep being told to just do ½ hour readings and I do find it less draining on myself to keep them at the ½ hour.

So from the 1st June a reading with me will be $50 for ½ hour, if you do feel that you need to have 1 hour I am more than happy to negotiate that with you, but I do feel that everything can be provided in the ½ hour.

READING DAYS – I am wanting to head out to the smaller country towns to do readings but am at a loss on who to contact to organise a space where I can do this ….. does anyone have any ideas??  Please let me know if you do!

Tarot Card Readings on Facebook:-

The mini tarot readings that I have been doing via my Facebook page seem to be well received.  For those of you who are unaware of what I have been doing, I have been randomly doing tarot readings on no given day when I am inspired to pick someone who has “liked” my facebook page – So make sure you “like” my facebook page. 

I try to do this at least once a week and usually put a message saying I am going to do 4 readings and then people say ‘yes please” and I randomly select either from them or just from those that have liked my page, this obviously depends on when I have time!! 

But I see it as a little thank you for your support.  The message will be put on my facebook page with your name on it.

So, spread the word and keep an eye on my page!

A message from: – Roman Moon Goddess Diana-

Too many of you think too much, you analyse everything that is happening to you and around you, when sometimes you just have to let it all be and see what unfolds.  Too much energy is being wasted on trying to solve riddles and puzzles, when sometimes they are just not meant to be solved.  Don’t forget that when something happens to you it may take years before the answer to your question of “why” is given.  So why waste so much time worrying about things that you have no control over? 

It is a hard thing to learn to just go with the flow, but do try it and see how much less stress that you have in your life.  There is a saying that life is like a rollercoaster with its ups and downs, you have to learn to enjoy the ride and stop worrying about whether the wheels will fall off!

Services that I offer:

PSYCHIC PARTIES – I do party groups where everyone has as 15 minute reading – this is lots of fun for baby showers, birthdays, hens nights etc and it’s just $20 per reading.  These readings aren’t burnt to disc because there are usually too many people and it just takes up too much time, but I am able to take notes or the person having the reading can take them if they wish.

FUNDRAISING – I’ve also done a few fundraisers, again which I am happy to do to help a good cause – I usually give a percentage of my takings for the day to help raise funds.

GROUP OF FRIENDS – If you don’t want to go the whole hog with a psychic party but there are four or so friends that would like half hour readings, I will visit you in your home – as long as it’s within a certain radius of Newcastle!  As long as I have a private spot to sit and water to drink, I’m happy!!!

Types of readings:

I offer a few different ways to have a reading, they are all ½ hour:-

1.  Face to face – where you come into my room here at Newcastle and your reading is recorded and burnt to disc at no extra charge.
2. Telephone – for those that live in Australia
3. SKYPE – for those anywhere in the world!
4. Emailed reading – for those that find it difficult to come in for a reading or line a time up for a phone reading or SKYPE.

All readings are just as effective as the other, a face to face reading is no different from a phone reading, I just offer all of the above for your convenience. 

Blessed be.
