Doh! New Moon Info Incorrectly Posted
Okay, this is what you get for trying to complete a thousand projects simultaneously before going out of town. Brain freeze!
I posted the wrong new moon info this week.
The REAL new moon time is Thursday, April 27th. The new moon will happen in practical Earth sign Taurus at 3:44pm Eastern Standard Time and there isn't any eclipse or Pluto retrograde happening that day. That was all going on with the LAST new moon in March.
Apologies for the confusion!

New Moon in Aries Plus Solar Eclipse Wednesday the 27th
*Apologies - I misposted this as Wednesday the 29th earlier! Sorry for the confusion. I was having new moon dyslexia.
There's a fiery new moon in Aries happening this Wednesday at 5:15am Eastern Standard Time here in the US, followed by a solar eclipse at 5:33am.
Pluto also goes retrograde that day at 7:40 am. Pluto spends many months in retrograde each year. As one of the outer planets, it tends to affect us on a more global level rather than on an individual basis. It moves slowly and has a subtle impact on us.
The new moon in Aries will kick up a sense of independence, courage, and passion. If there's something you're not dealing with, things may come to a boil so you can finally address them. Roll with this energy, as it can create much clearing and transformation.
Pluto's retrograde movement will also have you thinking about patterns of behavior, spending habits, and interpersonal dynamics that may no longer be serving you. If you feel like taking some time to yourself and meditating on the meaning of your life, go for it.
As happens with every new moon, this entire week will be a great time for setting goals and experiencing a personal new year of sorts. And if you'd like to learn how to write yourself a new moon abundance check, scroll down my home page and you'll find my series of archived articles about the art of manifesting.

Do You See Sparkies Follow Up Plus How To Develop Psychic Abilities
A reader wrote in to thank me for my past articles Do You See Sparkies? and Seeing Colored Lights, Sparkles, or Sparkies. She also talked about how her own psychic abilities have been sporadic over the years.
Here was my response to her:
Thanks for your note. I'm glad you enjoyed the article I wrote about the Sparkies. I hear from people all over the world who are seeing them. It definitely seems to be related to seeing into the next dimension or perceiving spiritual guides, helpers, angels, etc. from those other dimensions of reality. And they're cool!
As far as developing your own psychic gifts goes, the best thing I can recommend is to learn to "play" with energy on a regular basis. Some things that are good: all forms of artwork, creativity, and play help to awaken psychic gifts, plus anything that involves visualization (good for opening up the third eye) or performing (accessing the powers of emotion, which over time leads to energy sensitivity on many levels.) Also, all forms of improvisation are great - anything where you have to come up with ideas off the top of your head, or things like composing music and just allowing the notes to wash over you. That's when you'll find yourself "in the stream" of that spiritual energy.
Anyway, these talents have a tendency to unfold in their own, perfect, way, at exactly the right time for that person. There's nothing mysterious or special about it, really, because we all come in with these talents as children. Then we "forget" about them after our hormones kick in, we raise families, etc., and sometimes it takes a little extra effort to awaken them again. But it will happen for you in the right way.
Energy hugs, and thanks for visiting my site.

Are You Religious, Spiritual, or Both?
In August 2005 a joint poll taken by Newsweek magazine and the spirituality website Beliefnet.com found that of 1,004 Americans, 55 percent considered themselves "religious and spiritual." Another 24 percent described themselves as "spiritual." Two thirds of those surveyed said that they prayed daily, and one third said that they meditated.
The definition of religion is "the expression of reverence for a Divine being," but most people connect religion with going to church or engaging in certain rituals. I wish we could return to the original, true definition of religion, which is a lot simpler.
To express reverence for the Divine is a great aspiration for all of us, I think. Whether we find that Divine to be present in nature, in the form of an intelligent Creator Being, or as a cosmic force that permeates all of a reality, I think this is an excellent energy to be communicating with. After all, there is SOMETHING vibrating in the universe, a palpable something of great power and beauty. Whether we connect with this energy through prayer, meditation, invocation, artistic creativity, emotional expression, or expressing love, it's all good stuff.

How Can I Heal the Etheric Body After a Tattoo or Body Piercing?
Did you know that tattoos and piercings are experienced by the energy body as traumatic injuries? And that they create holes or "cracks" in the auric field, which can cause real problems over time?
I wrote about this in my archived article,
Tattoos and Piercings Damage the Etheric Body.
Today I've posted a follow up article about how to heal the energy body after a tattoo or body piercing. A reader writes in to ask about how to do this, and I give her a whole laundry list of stuff she can do!

Positive Energy: How to Build Vitality and Stop Energy Vampires from Draining You
Dr. Judith Orloff is a psychiatrist and gifted intuitive whose book, Positive Energy, is an excellent resource for understanding how we interact with others. There is always an energy exchange between two people. Sometimes, we can be surrounded by people who drain our vital energies and we can manifest all manner of problems because of it.
This is especially true for psychic empaths, who are very "thin-skinned." I'm an empath, and I have to watch myself in crowded settings or in groups because I can be overstimulated and feel too wound up with all the energy bouncing around. And I have to minimize time spent with sick, depressed, or unhappy people because I have a tendency to give too much of my vital energy and I easily get depleted.
Orloff writes about this phenomenon in this excellent archived article:

Don't Smile Unless You Mean It
This article mentions an interesting study of people working in the service professions. Researches found that pretending to be happy, smiling all the time, and forcing yourself to constantly be chipper can actually create health problems.
Moral of the story? Um...if you're grumpy, let it all hang out?

Discussion About Orgone at Montalk.net
Recently I've joined in on a discussion thread about orgone devices at wonderful metaphysical website Montalk.net.
Did you know that orgone devices, which are constructed from a mixture of crystalline, mineral, and non-organic components, can essentially be magical tools? And that depending on the maker and the maker's intention, they can be negatively or positively oriented?
Not all orgone tools are good. Read all about it here.
