Healing With Astrology & Magick

You know you are a geek when the highlight of your day is the new astrological ephemeris that arrived in the mail, courtesy of Amazon that now delivers to Mexico! If you've never seen an ephemeris, it's a book full of numbers that tracks the movement of the planets, moon and the stars through the zodiac.

Astrologers traditionally turned to these numerical tomes to generate natal charts, using the movement of the planets through the signs to predict events in a person's life. Personally I'm still on the fence about predictions - would I rather know, or not know?). We can also use these windows of time to heal ourselves by connecting with the planets at a precise time and integrating its energy into our lives in a way that balances out our personal seesaw (you'll see what I mean below...)


Special Offer On Readings!

To celebrate the arrival of my new ephemeris, this month I'm offering 60 minute astrology readings at 15% off.  The focus of the reading will be on your natal chart from a personal power point of view, looking at the range of behaviours, attitudes and instincts that come naturally for each of the major placements in your chart. The theory is that for each of the major placements in our chart (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus & Mars) there is an empowering and productive way to lean into it's energy, and an opposite behavioural pattern that plays into our fears instead.

In the reading we would explore these placements and think about how our lives are unfolding, bringing self-awareness, healing and empowerment into the mix by shedding a light on our patterns and making a conscious decision to transform them. As a bonus, we can also work with the moon's transit through the zodiac to connect with specific zodiac signs to balance us out. The idea would be to connect with a specific energy that could be underrepresented in our lives, working with the Moon and crystal magick to bring that sign or that planet's energy down to us.

The image that comes to mind is that of a seesaw on a playground, where we might have an 8 year old child called Aries on one end, and a 6 year old called Libra on the other (Libra and Aries are opposites). By virtue of Aries size and weight, he will be planted firmly on the ground and quite possibly keeping Libra out of play (a floating in the air). By studying our natal charts and working with healing, moon and crystal magick, we can add a bit of weight to our Libra side so that both of the children's feet are able to touch the ground, keeping both of the children in the game. 

This Little Book Speaks Volumes...

If you are curious, this is what an ephemeris looks like. We have rows for every day of the year (2000-2050), and a column for each planet. I have been using these primarily to ascertain which of the New and Full Moon's will have an influence in my life, as the moons need to fall at 60, 90, 120, or 180 degree angles to planets or house cusps to be felt. There will be moons that make many aspects, influencing many spheres of life, and others that go almost unnoticed, influencing those around us instead.

I also keep a cheat sheet tucked away in my book, making it easier for me to spot transits that impact my sun, moon, my ruling planet or my Ascendant. We could go into a huge amount of detail with astrology, making it very complex. But it doesn't have to be a mathematical problem... one of my goals it to write a very very very simple astrology book that explains the basics from a healing point of view in terms we can all grasp. For now I'm still wrapping my head around it. 

This Ephemeris Spans 50 Years!

How To Dispel Negativity From Our Lives


Don't you love crystals and how they talk to us? Just this weekend I found a pocket of joy where I least expected: at Seattle Tacoma Airport. My brother got married on Saturday (hoorrayyyy!) and on our way home from the wedding I stumbled across a shop full of crystals at the airport. I had been looking for a Black Tourmaline for months and this is where I finally found it. I tend to carry crystals with me in my purse and this particular one is a must have. 


This shiny black beauty is known for dispelling negativity, whether it's our own or other people's - as well as for grounding us, calming or focusing the mind, and shielding us from ‘psychic attack,’ when a third party's envy or unfriendly thoughts come our way. Black Tourmaline is also said to protect us from the harmful effects of WIFI, so initially I was looking for one to put at my bedside while I slept at night. 

As far as crystals go, Black Tourmaline is also an easy stone to work with. It is one of few that does not need to be cleared energetically or programmed when we first acquire it - Tourmaline just does what it does, automatically. The only drawback as far as I can tell, is that this beautiful stone crumbles easily so if you would like to carry it in your pocket or in your purse, wrapping it in tissue paper is a good idea.

On the way home I held it in my hands and sensed the Tourmaline's energy. I was already in a good mood because of the wedding, but the rock made me feel even happier. Who knew that a shiny black stone could put me in such a fantastic mood? It got me thinking; we are made of pure joy and happiness. Anything less is transitory, and we can dispel negativity from our own lives by embracing three simple qualities. This phrase came to mind as I held the stone and I'm making it my motto: 

Be Kind, Be Happy, Be Forgiving.

The first bit creates the energy that we send into the world, which also doubles as a boomerang so that we receive kindness from others. The second reminds us that happiness is a choice - choose to be happy today. And finally the third sets us free. When it came to forgiveness the key words that came to mind were "don't take things personally" and "don't hold it against them" whatever happens, because the way people behave towards us has more to do with who they are, than who we are.

If you'd like to know more about healing negativity, follow this link for a blogpost on healing unhappy vibes and how we can release them from the Mind, Body & Aura.  


ps ... Black Tourmaline is a powerful stone. I am told Smoky Quartz could be a better option for the highly sensitive, as it dispels negativity with softer vibes.

Getting Past The Magical Learning Curve

The past six months I’ve been taking part in a spiritual circle where we study a variety of topics ranging from healing to astrology, and most recently, how to create a magick wand. This week’s homework involved making use of the New Moon to find a suitable wand and attune it to your energy. I had one already that, oddly enough, used to be part of a set of chopsticks (though I never used it to eat, LOL!)

The funny thing about magick wands is they do work, as I discovered when I tried to activate a carnelian crystal with the help of my wand a few years ago. Wands are associated with the element of Fire, and that fiery energy flows through the wand into our physical reality. I don’t know what I was thinking (probably that the wand wouldn't do anything) and I held the crystal in my left hand and pointed the wand at it. After a few seconds I felt a burning sensation in my palm and I had to stop what I was doing. My mistake! One that I learned from quickly. 


For months after that day, whenever I thought about the wand or that “rookie mistake,” my palm would start to hurt all over again. It was like the memory triggered the sensation. Not unlike Harry Potter’s scar, the one on his forehead, and how it was triggered whenever he thought about the person who created it. But as an energy healer, I couldn’t leave the psychic wound in my palm and eventually I stumbled across a crystal that can be used to repair tears in the energy field: Fluorite. A few months after the incident, I healed the tear by placing a fluorite crystal in my left palm, using my right to heal my energy field with Reiki. It worked - my left hand is healed!


While that experience was the result of improper use of magical wands, it made me think about emotional wounds. When we think about pain from the past, we relive it. Rather than dwell on the past or bury it, we can work with energy healing and crystals to heal it. Send love to the part of yourself that feels hurt, without pressuring it to heal. The feeling will slowly melt away.

If you haven't read Chakra Healing & Magick, I’d encourage you to go through the creative healing techniques slowly - healing every aspect of your life through the Chakras before approaching the chapters on crystal magick.
The book relies on energy healing to peel back layers of doubt and false beliefs so that we can let our inner light shine brightly in the world.
