Chances are you’ve been asked at least once, “What’s your sign?” Chances are also high that you know your sign. But do you really know the roots of astrology? Many people believe that the alignment of the stars and planets at a person’s birth reflect certain information about that individual’s personality. But what specifically does an astrologist do?When seeking insight into a client’s temperament and character, astrologists might consult specific charts that show the position of celestial beings at the time of a person’s birth. A person’s astrological sign might be determined by the singular position of the sun when that person was born. The apparent “path” of the sun in the sky (as we all know, the earth rotates around the sun, but the sun appears to move) is divided into 12 sections and this is where the zodiac signs come from. So if the sun is “in Leo” when you are born, then you are determined by some astrologists to be a Leo.
This is just a basic idea about Astrology; the encompassing theories are fairly complicated. If you have an interest in learning more about your astrological sign, please feel free to speak to one of our Master Psychics.

Have you ever found yourself feeling increasingly more frustrated while talking with someone as if you’re speaking two different languages? There are many parts to communicating clearly, but two essential ones I’d like to focus on here. Listening and expressing.
It is important to show someone you’re really listening to what they have to say. It can help to use “active listening” techniques. After the other person makes a statement, repeat or paraphrase what you’ve heard. This not only helps you to truly hear them, it makes the other person feel that you’re trying (and effectively do) understand them. Even if it’s a heated argument, you’ll probably find that the other party is relieved to see that you’ve listened.
The other side of communication - expressing yourself clearly - should start from a place of calmness; you’re more likely to choose words that are clear, strong and inoffensive from this place. Avoid name-calling and judgmental statements like (”that’s ridiculous!”) These only hurt and incense people further. So take a few breaths before speaking. This will clear your mind. Then instead of pointing fingers, tell them your point of view. Chances are that if you’ve already actively listened to them, they’ll instinctively learn how to do the same with you.
If you’re having trouble communicating with someone in your life and could use some guidance, please give us a call. We’re always here for you.

Whether you want a home and a family, a life of travel, to help the poor, the ongoing chance to express yourself artistically or any other lifetime dream, patience and perseverance are key. A lifetime dream is just that: a dream that lasts a lifetime. This means the journey to achieve that dream can be a long one, so you can’t give up. Along the way, the dream and/or the path may alter, so you must be flexible as well as strong. It can be incredibly helpful to write about your dream and to set small goals for yourself along the way.
Keep in mind that following your dream doesn’t mean you have to exclude the other parts of your life. Family, friends, education and good physical health shouldn’t be cut from your life because they don’t seem to have anything to do with following your dream. In fact, these life aspects can have a big influence on your journey and support you as you strive towards your dream. Make sure that in the midst of determination, perseverance and patience you have a well-rounded life that includes close relationships with people you trust. It is the give and take between good friends that are often the stepping-stones to achieving your dream. If you need some guidance in figuring out your dream or the steps to take toward us, give us a call. Our Master Psychics are here to help.

We all want to be happy. We live on this beautiful planet, most of us have family, friends and have created our lives with times of being happy, glimpses of being happy and working towards being happy. At least that is what I have noticed in my own life, that is what happens to me. I have heard a lot of people talking about the road to happiness happens when you can control your thoughts. I have tried often to control my thoughts by noticing what I am thinking, then I make an effort to think about something else, usually something I want, instead of something I don’t want. However, I have noticed this can be hard to do, as the old thoughts seem to come back quickly. If you have had success controlling your thoughts, I would love to hear your experiences.
I have been wondering if controlling my thoughts is actually coming to my goal of always being happy, backwards. What I have been noticing is by changing and healing the feelings and emotions I am experiencing; my thoughts can change themselves.
When my body sensations are happy, the thoughts will come and go, but my attitude of being happy will be solid and stable. If my emotions are happy, the thoughts connot provoke negativity, they have no power and those thoughts will soon expand into higher thinking. Ultimately, my thinking has been changing into what I call light wave thinking. To me that means my thoughts are light and happy.
Since our bodies vibrate, I picture golden light waves radiating to and from my body. These light waves are made of the energy of love, peace and happiness for all beings. As these light waves go out into the universe, I am able to see and feel the adventures of infinite possibilites.
So, how do I do this? How do I keep this energy and state of mind in every moment. Well, right now, unfortunately, I don’t. However, I do have a strong intention to live within this state and I do know it is possible for all of us. Rather than trying to notice and change my thoughts, changing my feelings has been a lot easier for me.
Iis always available to everyone. As we are Spiritual Beings and part of God, All That Is, Your Higher Power, (whatever you feel comfortable calling this power) this energy is always calling to us. The issue is, we get so caught up in the drama of our lives and what we “think” we need before we can truly be happy, we don’t hear this energy calling. We cannot feel this energy either, because we are feeling lack, sad, angry or fearful, etc. Therefore, there is no space available for this light wave energy to penetrate through our current drama. It’s kind of like the glass ceiling people talk about, only in this case, we personally can break thru into the light.
I think the most important and probably the hardest part of all this is simply awareness of what we are doing, feeling and thinking. If we are going along in a tunnel of familiar thoughts and feelings we are imersed in our personal drama. So, how do we create aware, so we have the ability to take the next step? Some people do this with reminders. They might have affirmations on their bathroom mirror, a note card in their wallet or purse, or a collage of pictures hanging in their bedroom. At least they are keeping happiness right in front of themselves. For me, I need something else to keep me “awake” to who I am. What works best is to keep noticing how I am feeling and set my feeling level where I want it to be. This can be like a thermometer. If it is too cold you can turn it up, too hot, turn it down. Another analogy is an elevator. There are many different levels or floors, if you press the wrong button and get off on a floor that isn’t right, go back into the elevator and press the right button. The elevator will start to move and take you to the correct floor.
Here is some examples. Talking with someone who is arguing with me or being on hold on the phone for 15 minutes and being disconnected. Looking back, I’m sure everyone can find situations that are less than happy. I become aware of my feelings because they simply don’t feel good to me. The next thing that I notice is my mind telling me all the reasons it iis their fault, not my fault. I was just driving along and ”he” cut in front of me! Maybe I should even call my friends and let them know what just happened to me! Ok, well that will surely prolong my fear, anger and frustration, but it also throws my higher goal right out the window. So, I say to myself. wow! That was scary or that guy must be having a problem. Hm? What about having compassion for him? What about realizing how blessed I am to be safe. How about choosing love and light over adrenalin. But, my mind says, ”what a good story to tell everyone”. I say back, “what about my intention and my goal?” Anyway, sometimes I win and sometimes my mind wins, but that is ok, because I can still get back on track in each and every moment.
would love to hear your suggestions, comments and ideas. Together we can have the love, peace, compassion and understanding that is our birthright.

One of the wonderful things about being human is the immeasurable number of emotions that we can experience on a daily basis, not to mention a lifetime. We feel, therefore we are. Emotions are normal, natural and a large part of our life. They can give us direction. If we’re jealous, we usually want something that we don’t currently have. If we’re happy, we should probably continue to do what we’re doing. But some of us have a hard time expressing our emotions, and that may create all kinds of problems.
There should be no shame in expressing emotion. Though there are certainly inappropriate ways to express yourself, such as violence towards others. Letting out how you feel is critical to your overall wellbeing and health. Holding in anger, sadness, jealousy, even happiness can actually have an effect on your physical and mental wellbeing. Think of yourself as a pressure cooker; if you keep all that emotion in and never let it out, you may emotionally explode. But some of us were never taught how to express ourselves. Or we might have been taught that we should never talk about our feelings. Quite often, men are taught that the only emotion they can show is anger. Women learn that we should never show anger. Neither of these scenarios is healthy. Showing and talking about how you feel keeps your natural energy flowing and that’s healthy. Our Master Psychics can help you look inward to assist you to more easily express yourself.
