The Subconscious Mind & Psychic Results

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality. We affect our subconscious mind by verbal repetition. This is why when we want to affect change in our life, we have to repeat, repeat and repeat some more!

If we want to dream an answer or solution to a problem, even if we want just some insight or added information, we have to tell the subconscious mind over and over before we go to sleep at night.

I sense that this is because the subconscious mind needs to be awakened via that repetition, otherwise it doesn't pay all that much attention to the litany of single thoughts that drift, meander or wander through the consciousness day in and day out.

Its almost like the subconscious mind part of us needs that kind of convincing or it doesn't take us seriously. If we make our intention clearly known in this way, however, it seems to work out better.

If we want our intuition to be fully functioning, we have to repeat that statement over and over--and not only that, we have to believe it is possible!

Toss in a lot of heartfelt emotion and mix well, all the while keep repeating it--that's a winning combination.

I almost have the sense of it being like this: it's sort of like hammering
a post into the ground with a sledge hammer! Do you think that this
is where we arrive at the phrase "hammering it in" when it refers
to learning things?

Whatever we want to accomplish, we have to impress the subconscious mind with regard to that desire; otherwise it may not take notice. And even if it does take notice, unless we give it the directive over an over, it may not take us seriously.

No mental doubt can come into the process, not a single one!

As the saying goes, "You cannot afford the luxury of a single doubt" when you are truly trying to accomplish something in life!

I think this is especially true in the psychic realms or in metaphysical areas and many times it's importance is overlooked or under-estimated.

When Sadness & Disillusionment Comes, Lean On ME!

I received a little message today from The Universe... in my email as a matter of fact, courtesy of Mike Dooley (of The Secret fame) and author of the book Notes From The Universe.

I like getting little daily messages; I've signed up for a number of them. Today's little message from the Universe was particularly suitable for my life. It read:

The more you lean on me, Joy, the stronger we become.

The stronger we become, the bigger we dream, the higher we fly, the bluer the sky, and the happier we dance.
Lean on me,

The Universe

I really understand today's message! Or at least I think I do. Lately, there have been a few disappointments; but I know disappointments are a result of attachments. Anytime I've been disappointed, the realization comes to me (quicker these days) that if I wasn't attached to a desire in some way, there would be no disappointment in the first place!

We all have times in life when we've felt misunderstood or when other folks arbitrarily decided who we are, but don't really have the first real clue. Nobody can see us the way we truly are; I've come to believe that's really impossible. My greatest sorrow has come from being completely misunderstood by others--I suppose it triggers those old soul wounds that I'm here to clear and heal. Sometimes we think we're past things--that we've healed them; when (oops!) it comes back around again. That's the nature of life I suppose; and Mercury retrograde right now helps those things along too.

For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out why I continue to slip back into particular frames of mind where I expect that I'm understood, when (by now I should!) know better. I guess at times we become unconscious; we forget and we get caught up in the illusion of how we would like the world to be, rather than the way it really simply is.

It's all good though; disillusionment happens, and it brings with it the tinge of a sorrowful or sad mood. And that stimulates reflection, contemplation and inner searching. Sometimes, it takes some quiet time to reach that state of awareness where in we can realize what's going on. It enlightens us, once again, to the truth.

The opposite of sorrow, after all, is joy. And we reach for the joy again (the opposite polarity to sorrow), and by doing so we live out today's message from The Universe. People will always disappoint you; same thing with anything else in the material world.

I vow to try harder to remember that! The Divine Within is the only unchanging, stable, secure and fully sociable factor that can be fully depended upon.

I will remember, for The Divine Within is my true joy! Here's to going within and to leaning on The Universe!

The more you lean on me, Joy, the stronger we become. The stronger we become, the bigger we dream, the higher we fly, the bluer the sky, and the happier we dance.
Lean on me,

The Universe

The Universe Rocks!

The Inner Life

Wow, it's been a while since I've made an entry!
How's your Inner Life?
The outer life is a reflection of that, remember?

It is said that the creator can never be separated from the creation. And to take those words and understand the microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm is something to ponder on both levels.

I recently read this: "...to fulfil one's mission in the outer life thoroughly; at the same time keeping the inner realization that the outer life, whatever be one's occupation, should reflect the inner realization of truth."

That one line can and does express true spirituality!

Have a great day!

Moon In Sagittarius ~ Jupiter Influence Sun. 4-12-09 through Tue. 4-15-09

The Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius from

2 PM (EDT) Sunday

4-12-09

Through Tuesday

4-14-09.

The Moon moves into Capricorn in the wee hours of the morning on Wednesday, April the 15th, 2009.

The Lunar Sag/Jupiter influence is present Sunday afternoon & all day Monday and Tuesday, 4-12, 4-13 & 4-15-2009.

The glyph for Sag is the arrow -- the arrow traveling as fast as the speed of light out into the cosmos -- exuberance. The arrow asks, "What is my place in this cosmos? Where am I going?" These are Saggitarian questions. The gypsy, the student, and the philosopher are three destinies of Sagittarius. With all three, the mind projects itself outward toward a new horizon [see image above] in order to realize the ultimate meaning of life and find one's place in the cosmos. Sag sees no clear ending, only the endless process. The search for meaning associated with Sag. energy has to do with expanding the mind and searching for truth--the vision quest.

This kind of travel is associated with Sag, thus the connection to "travel" which connects to the mundane astrologer's interpretation. Education, travel and expansion of awareness--being open to "foreign" ways of thinking. The Sag energy is also very fond of freedom. Without freedom, how can there be the pursuit of these goals?

Sagittarius searches for the personal god and faith in one's own ideals. Sag searches for his own god no matter what pressures are brought to bear by consensus society. Sag asks us to determine our own belief and establish our own faith based on our own ideals.

Its no surprise then that Sag is often associated with intuition and the right brain activities of consciousness. Forget what everyone else in society tells you... what do YOU believe? Search for you own personal meaning! That's what Sag energy encourages.

The mood of the day will be expansive -- after all, Jupiter (the big planet!) rules Sagittarius. Today, as I write this, it's Easter Sunday, the christian holiday.

The emotional weather for this Sunday afternoon as well as tomorrow and Tuesday will likely be upbeat, optimistic, and lively and expansive thinking will very likely be prominent. Putting christian rituals aside, it's generally a time wherein searching for answers to the big questions of life would be natural. Outspoken-ness can be evident today too... Sag energy sometimes speaks without forethought.

Jupiter is big and likes lots of excess so when the Moon is in Sag, over-indulgence in almost any area can also be evident.

How attached are you to your beliefs? There may be a challenge in this area and arrogance and self-righteousness from those who are extremely attached to their version of truth--or the version that was handed to them by religious authorities. Think: bible thumpers.

When the Moon is in Sagittarius it can be a good time to ask your soul, the angels and higher guiding light forces to help you to release addictions to the need to be right and any other excessive-type behavior. Ask for help to be opened up to wider views and perspectives--growth oriented influences and advanced ideas. Affirm that your mind and your spirit are continuing to open and unfold as you release your need to be right. There's that song that comes to my thinking here. Part of the lyrics are "...expand your mind". Probably a song from the 60's. Anyway...

I'd like to think that the real expansion we are seeking is spiritual versus dogmatic and religious. This is the territory of Jupiter and Sagittarius.

A visual is to imagine your body like a sponge taking on more and more white light until you are glowing and radiant -- light has no religion, no dogma. To make the most of Sagittarius energy, fill your body and brain with light and imagine a many-pedaled lotus flower opening up at the center of your forehead. Realize there are many paths to the Divine while you think of something you are doing on a small scale now that you'd like to expand in a big way. Send an inexhaustible stream of light to that idea bubble and watch it grow and grow, knowing that the growth of your mind and spirit is ever unfolding.

The Moon moves into Capricorn Wednesday 4-15-09 and by then we will have covered the entire zodiac. I started a month ago with the ever-changing Moon as it moved through every sign of the zodiac for a 30 day period. This was the 2nd time I went through the Moon signs on this blog. Maybe next I will work through the houses one by one.

Wishing you a mind expanding day!

The astrology posts found here on the Moon’s transit through the zodiac are general, covering the basic archetype of the Moon’s sign. Aspects to the Moon are, for the most part, being intentionally omitted for simplicity purposes. Aspects to the Moon will trigger each person’s life differently based upon the Soul's overall natal karmic dynamic and evolutionary intent and the current location of all planets involved. Distinctions and variations are determined by one’s individual birth chart.

Moon in Scorpio Emotional Weather Report 4-10 to 4-12-09

Moon in Scorpio April 10th Friday 5:23 am until April 12th Sunday 2:00 PM (EDT) 2009.

Full Moon was April 9th, 2009

I'm late posting this; the Moon went into Scorpio yesterday.

Let's get started...

Scorpio Moons are strong ones and its said that they can override the Sun. So feelings, needs, instincts and responses will be strong when the Moon transits Scorpio.

If we don't take time to understand what (many times) are our unconscious responses to life, we can end up feeling needy and unfulfilled. We should make an effort, therefore, to understand what each Moon sign is all about. The Moon is about nurturing. I like saying "the hungry Moon".

Aquarius Moons are hungry for space and freedom, Cancer Moons are hungry for that connection to their roots, Virgo Moons are hungry for the comfort and predictability of routine and Gemini Moons are hungry for change, variety and lots of data/information.

What is the Moon hungry for when it transits through the constellation of Scorpio?

(By the way, you can translate these transiting Moon archetypes informational pieces to a Natal Moon too.)

Before I go into it, let it be said that some people are more sensitive to the Moon and its daily fluctuations than others. Lunar "types" of people are Cancer Suns (Moon children) and anyone born during the Full Moon or the New Moon.

These little Moon Emotional Weather reports can be useful because even if "you" aren't sensitive to the Moon, it can help to know what particular type of mood or emotional weather will be predominant in the general public. So if the current Moon transit doesn't affect you face on, you will still be affected indirectly by having to cope with the energy of the masses--others.

We're currently on the tail end of a Full Moon--the Lunar influences of a full Moon are known to affect us 3 days prior to a Full Moon and 3 days after the exact Full Moon. Emotions that build up through the monthly cycle tend to peak and release around the time of the Full Moon.

So the Moon in Scorpio is connected to Pluto. Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio. This influence in the Moon can be brooding, vindictive and resentful, but it doesn't have to be. Scorpio is a water sign and the Moon in Scorpio runs deep emotionally. When the Moon is in Scorpio it is a good time for self-healing and to think those "deep" Soul thoughts. Scorpio is a probing and deeply psychological sign so the Moon is Scorpio is a good time for meditation and examining your own motives or even the motives of others. Trust issues may come up when the Moon is in Scorpio and any old soul memories of betrayal will likely be re-stimulated for healing and clearing. Of course, it wouldn't be fair to Scorpio to leave out sensuality and just plain ole' sex; but watch for power plays (Pluto ruling Scorpio is about power) and manipulation and trust issues.

Also this wouldn't be a good time to push people to confide in you--Scorpio loves privacy, secretiveness and mystery. Generally people may not be in a self-revealing mood. Again, people (generally speaking) may be suspicious of one another; you may have to demonstrate your trustworthiness.

The Moon in Scorpio can help you to understand the deeper levels of any situation and of your own or other people's emotions. The emotional climate of the Moon in Scorpio can be summarized with one word: intense!

To work with the higher side of this energy, release resentments, past hurts and any betrayals or losses that are stored in the emotional body.

Pluto/Scorpio is about transformation (a large part of this energy IS transformative) so perhaps if you can work with cooperating with any energy that is coming forward for the purpose of transformation, this would a very positive thing to do. Think: Phoenix rising transformed from the ashes. Think of parts of your life that you would like to see healed and call on your soul to help you be aware of what has been repressed or hidden so that you can experience the power that comes from knowledge!
