June 23 through June 29, 2025

The week opens under a Gemini Moon, and that being said, we’ll be all talk and no action on Monday and Tuesday. The urge to socialize, surf the web (YouTube rabbit hole, I’m just sayin…), and explore the unknown will be a theme. Wednesday’s Cancer new Moon is the perfect time to make a wish, as it generates two weeks of new beginnings and magical happenings! Mercury will move into Leo on Thursday, which could bring out our dramatic sides and cause us to exaggerate or make promises we can’t make. Best to think before you speak, and not make any commitments you aren’t quite sure of for the next couple of weeks. Friday and Saturday unfold under a Leo Moon, which will bring out our generous and humanitarian sides. Look around to see how your loved ones are doing and if they could use your help or at the very least, a little “pep” talk! Sunday is all about getting organized as the Moon travels through Virgo, so make it a point to clear out that closet, organize those files, or declutter the garage!

Three Ways to Heal Your Pet Using Energy Techniques, by Cyndi Dale

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

It's extremely difficult to watch our pets suffer or struggle, and even more so when the allopathic remedies we try don't alleviate the problems. Because of this, I'm an eager advocate of energy healing for pets, no matter what type of pet you have—mammal, rodent, arthropod, amphibian, aquatic, or reptile.

I should know the benefits of energy healing for pets. At one point, I was a single mom with five animals and three children. One day, every single one of my dear pets required assistance, and it wasn’t the sort that could be handled by a veterinarian. The guinea pig was chattering incessantly, while chewing frantically on his carrots. The brown Lab was moping about and the Golden Retriever was throwing up. The usually gregarious bunny was scurrying away from contact and the cat wouldn't leave his perch on the hutch, hissing when anyone neared. I was only able to help all five pets because I could draw on my knowledge of—and practices related to—energy healing, having been practicing over twenty years in the energy medicine field by that time. For each pet, I employed one of three basic approaches afforded to subtle energy practitioners to soothe and mend our pets. These are easy methods, and are (along with others) showcased in my new book, Energy Wellness for Your Pet. They are as follows:

• Fixing the disturbed chakra
• Releasing negativity
• Working on our own issues

Using my lovely pet family as examples, I'll reveal how I used these techniques to help my five pet friends regain their balance on that fateful day, years ago.

Fixing a Chakra
Chakras are subtle energy centers present in all living organisms, including pets. Each chakra manages a specific set of physical, psychological, and spiritual concerns.

The latter means that when our pet is exhibiting a problem, whether the warning signs involve illness, strange behaviors, or emotional disarray, we can assist them by tracking the symptoms to a related chakra. After that, a pet-friendly companion can problem-solve for practical resolutions and also direct subtle energies to that chakra. And then—voila! We boost our pet's wellbeing.

For pets, I work with the twelve-chakra system that I use for humans. In pets, chakras serve the same functions as they do in their people companions, although there are differences between the locations, as well as depth and breadth, of certain chakras. There are also variations as to the tasks performed by a chakra, depending on the type of pet. So you can assist your pet with chakra magic, I'm including the following outline about pet chakras. Included is the name of the chakra, its overall job, and its typical location. What will be unique about pet versus human chakras? For example, pets have "bud chakras," energy centers that are part of the tenth chakra. The tenth chakra is located underneath the feet and bonds a pet with its environment. Because pets are closer to Nature than are humans, the bud chakras add another layer of interdependency on their earthly surroundings, enabling them to pick up on climactic changes and more.

In terms of making an assessment, I recommend matching a pet's major symptoms to the related chakra. One way to accomplish this is to track an imbalance to a bodily area. For instance, my chit-chatting, compulsively chawing guinea pig, Max, was obviously stressed in the mouth area, which relates to the fifth chakra. Yet another method is to follow the trajectory to a chakra based on the type of distress. Max's problems also matched the issues governed by the fifth chakra.

Once we settle on a distressed chakra, we can then decide how to best clear and heal that chakra, and therefore, decide how to alleviate our pet’s concern. As discussed in Energy Wellness for Your Pet, you can support a pet's chakra physically, psychologically, or spiritually.

For Max, I started with practical research and discovered that while guinea pigs can eat carrots, there is too much sugar in them. I decided he needed a more varied diet and pledged to provide him a more colorful array of fruits and vegetables, in addition to his guinea food.

I then examined his behavior through a psychological lens. What was Max trying to say? All I did was think this question and he stopped yakking and stared at me. He was sending me a message, which I discovered had a spiritual bent.

When we're working psychologically, we're examining a pet for an emotional imbalance. When we're digging spiritually, we're entering realm of the soul. I meditated deeply and asked Max's spiritual guides to better let me understand his communique.

I saw a number of psychic images that reflected the problems being experienced by the other four pets. I understood. Max's ultimate purpose was to tend to my little community. His own emotions were in turmoil because the other pets required assistance. Speaking aloud, and also holding the quality of reassurance in my heart, I promised Max I'd figure out the other pet's problems.

To complete Max's healing, I asked Spirit, the name I use for my Higher Power, to send Max healing energies. Holding my hand over his neck area, I could sense the higher qualities of peace and calm make their way into his fifth chakra. He immediately went to sleep.

I next interacted with the brown Lab, Coco. It was easy enough to assist her. She was exhibiting physical symptoms, the universe of the first chakra, and so, I assumed she was laying around for a physical reason. Wouldn't you know it, the pathways she used to walk around in the back yard were blocked. Coco was deaf and blind, and so, obstructions posed a significant problem for her. I cleared out her walkways. Once she was able to move around again, she perked right up.

For the other three pets, I employed different techniques, which I'll describe next.

Releasing Negativity
Sometimes we have to help a pet "release negativity," a code phrase for getting rid of dark entities or forces.

I frequently assist my human clients with this endeavor, having discovered that many problems stem from entity attachments. Entities are invisible but very real beings that connect to the living for one of two reasons; they either want to steal life energy or grab the living being's spiritual light. Pets are just as vulnerable to these sneaky forces as are people.

How do you know if a pet is impacted by a negative force, especially if you don't have a Max in your household to clue you in? The following are a few intuitive indications:

• Empathy: In the presence of a negative entity, you might feel off, sickly, or very cold or hot. Then again, you could simply sense that there is something not good connected to your pet. Another clue? If you think your pet isn't acting like itself, it might be getting acted upon by something else.
• Visual Cues: Take a few deep breaths and ask to see what's impacting your pet. An image might arise in your mind's eye or even via your everyday eyes. A negative entity will look like a nasty creature and is usually connected by a cord or a linkage to your pet.
• Verbal Cues: Ask the Spirit if a dark force is impacting your pet and to give a verbal response. You might hear an answer pop in your mind or think about a poem, story, or song convincing you that this is the case.

To help heal a negative attachment for a pet, simply request that the pet's spiritual guidance or the Spirit send the energies necessary to release any unhealthy binding or attachment. This same energy will also heal your pet or anything or anyone else involved in the damaging association.

In terms of my pet household, I discovered that Johnny the Cat had an interfering entity connected to him. He had only recently joined the family and had been in a humane shelter before then. Most likely, he had also been previously abused. Harmful entities frequently attack animals who have been mistreated, as it's relatively easy for those dark spirits to steal energy when an animal is in a weakened condition. Asking for Johnny to be released immediately brought him down from the hutch and returned him to his friendly ways. I believe he had been hissing at the entity, actually.

Working On Our Own Issues
In esoteric circles, it's a well-known fact that pets mirror our issues. Sometimes their behavior reflects what we're doing and should stop, or conversely, shows what actions we ought to take. Other times, pets absorb energies that are disturbing us, as they like to act like our healers.

Both Honey the Golden Retriever, who was throwing up, and Bunny the bunny, who was frightened, were sponging up my imbalanced energies.

As per Honey, a few days earlier, I had come down with a stomach bug. It had seemed to clear up. I tuned into Honey and received a psychic image of a red ball of energy in Honey's stomach. I knew immediately that Honey had taken my solar plexus issues into himself.

The question was, what did I need to work on to heal him and myself?

When I attuned to my own digestive area, I started to feel rage. Then I remembered that I had been angry at a friend right before my gastrointestinal upset. I hadn't dealt with the emotions and so the energy had started causing a physical pain, which Honey had taken on. After spending time deciding how to deal with my own emotions, my own anger and Honey's illness ceased.

I also discovered that Bunny was reflecting the same issue, although in a different way than was Honey. Growing up, I wasn't allowed to get angry, and consequently, felt scared of the emotion. Bunny was acting out my fear. After deciding that I could now release my fear of anger, Bunny jumped into my lap.

As these examples show, pets can be very responsive to subtle energy work. One of the best reasons for using these processes, however, isn't only how handy and powerful they are. We employ them because we love our pet.

As Roger Caras once said, "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." Substitute the word "pet" for "dog," and you have the reason for using energy healing processes on your pet.

My family and I recently moved from the house we lived in for six years into another house. While I very much love this new house, I'm finding it difficult to feel really comfortable here. I'm happy that we have moved, but for some reason, it just doesn't feel like home to me. Is there something I can do to create that sense of home, or do we just have to wait until we're more settled in?

Dreamchaser:

This "discomfort" in your new home has a few causes. First, you really did love the house you just moved from. You may not have loved the structure, but you loved all that happened in it. It was full of happy memories. The house you live in now is a great house for your structural needs, but it is empty of those treasured family memories.

Also, your new house is "haunted." Every house you enter has spirits in it, but that is because you can sense energies that most other people can't see or feel. Actually, ALL places are haunted; we just may not know it. Every place on earth holds the energy of whatever was there before. So in moving to a new place, you are now sensing NEW energies that are unfamiliar to you, which you may not yet have made peace with.

These energies are not negative, they are just new. I suggest when the house is empty at some point, or when everyone else is in bed, you make yourself comfortable in the middle of the living room. Lie on the floor or sit on a floor pillow or whatever you want to do.

I want you to then ask God/ Universe/ Spirit - whatever name you prefer - to protect you and only allow Love and Light in your house and around your family. Then just allow yourself to get very quiet and FEEL the energy of the house and the land that the house is built on. Allow yourself to get acquainted with the energies of the beings that inhabit your house with you. They are more than anxious to "introduce" themselves to you.

As you do this, you will actually feel changes in vibration, temperature, your mood, your thoughts, etc. Once you "meet" them, then you will feel more at home and comfortable around them.

Another thing you should do to make the house feel like home is to let IT help you decorate it. A lot of the things you had in your old house that looked great there don't look so great in the new house. They don't feel right. Spend a little money here and there, and see what "calls out to you" when you are out in stores. The house has its own vibe and needs its own energies to shine through.

I know this sounds a little silly, but try it. Walk from room to room and look at the walls and the furniture and the layout and see what comes to you. For example, while I never liked brown in the past, when I moved into my current house, I felt the urge to decorate it in browns, and it now has a warm, happy feeling.

I wish you and yours a warm, love-filled home.

It's normal to feel out of place in a new place, for it takes a while to become comfortable. The noises it makes are different, the wind sounds different when it touches the roof, and the sun comes through the windows at a different slant. It's normal to miss the memories of our prior home too, but it's time you moved on in your heart so you can really LOVE your new place.

Try this simple rite of purification to bring peace and love into your new home. If you honor the Goddesses, be sure to include Hestia, Brigid and Freya. Set aside a whole weekend for this ritual.

Take off all your jewelry before you start, even your wedding ring, and place the important pieces you wear daily on a white plate, then place the plate on your altar. Also, wear something white as you do this ritual.

Sprinkle the floors with salt and rosemary, and while you do this, visualize all negativity and discord that could ever enter your new house being swept away. Burn several scented white candles to purify the air and encourage peace and contentment. Place rose quartz crystals in the south windows to invite more love into your home. Think about all the love, contentment and peace now filling your life here. That evening, vacuum up the salt and rosemary, and burn the bag in a fire-safe container outside. As the smoke rises, ask the Goddesses to bless your house and your family as you live and work there.

Sunday morning, it's time to bless your yard. Invite the magical beings of Earth and Air into your life by decorating a small wooden birdhouse with the astrological Sun signs of each member of your family. You can add birds, stars, spirals, or whatever else you like. Hang ribbons of red, green and gold in sets of three from the new Spirit House. Let the Garden Spirits know that their new home is ready by waving a stick of burning incense over the roof and all around the sides of the house. Make sure some of the fragrant smoke enters the house too.

With these two easy rituals, you can count on all the GOOD Spirits who have dwelt with you in your OTHER home to feel welcome in your new house. Home is where you and your family are, and if this house is what you wanted, this house is going to feel like home in time.

Give yourself PERMISSION to stop grieving for your old home. The memories you'll make in this new house will be just as vibrant and happy as the ones in your old house. Blessings and benevolence will be yours.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
