Diary of a Psychic Healer

I’ve  been going over key dates in my life and checking them against transits. A transit is when a planet moves through the zodiac and makes a connection with any of the placements in your natal chart, at an angle (say 60 or 90 degrees away), or crossing it directly. The direct transit is called a conjunction. It has a strong effect but whether it's easy or hard, depends on other factors.  Uranus is the planet of change, disruption and it also happens to rule Aquarius, my Sun Sign. It has a slow orbit though, taking 84 years to go around the zodiac. Uranus transits don’t happen often, and with big Uranus transits, something disruptive happens out of the blue 😅  A funny thing to know about me is that from age 13 to 19 (8th grade to 2nd year of college), I started the year at a different school each year. One new middle school, four high schools, and two colleges… in three countries. It was unexpected and weirdly doable, despite the fact that I didn't like all of the schoo...

There is a song that I love by the Mexican artist, Julieta Venegas, Me Voy (I’m leaving) because she walks away from a subpar relationship that she might deserve, but doesn't want.  It got me thinking about whether we get what we deserve - or what we reach for. And in many cases, where we get stuck. That's in terms of creating the life you want to experience. We need to think bigger.   We have been taught to focus on healing our self-worth, strengthening our boundaries, healing our insecurities and to revisit what we think we deserve in life and relationships. It is a good start.  Believing that we don't deserve an experience - or that we are not ready - is an obstacle; it takes away from our personal initiative. It might keep us from trying, but releasing the belief might not be enough to change things. Inner work can be an endless loop; we also have to look at the impact that other people have on our lives.  At one point we have to think about what we don't want....

There is a line in the New Testament where Jesus tells his followers that it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. I grew up Catholic and this quote has been interpreted to tell people that having money somehow keeps you from getting into Heaven. And that not having $$$ gets you there quicker.  My view is that not having a dysfunctional ego will get us through the pearly gates (or create heaven on earth), but that’s not the point of this post. Let’s focus on the camel.  I had an aha moment recently. To start, I think that we missed the point, forgetting that Jesus was Jewish, and many of the examples he gave were rooted in his culture. Kabbalah is the mystical side of Judaism; I’ve been taking classes on and off since 2009, when I first moved to London. You’ll find all my Kabbalah posts here .  In Kabbalistic lore, the eye of the needle represents the dark night of the soul. It’s represented by t...
