July 4 through July 10, 2022
Happy 4th of July! Monday and Tuesday's Virgo Moon will be ideal for tackling projects and work that have been hitting glitches the last few weeks, as astrological influences have cleared and it's smooth sailing ahead. On Tuesday, Mercury will move into Cancer and turn our thoughts to family, love, and emotional matters a few weeks, slowing the pace it generated when it traveled through Gemini. On that same day, Mars will move into powerhouse Taurus, allowing us to put creative ideas into action or finally clear out the garage, closets, and files we've been meaning to get to for the next seven weeks. Balance will be the theme as the Moon glides through Libra on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday will have a spiritual focus as the Moon drifts through Scorpio and turns our attention to all things metaphysical. Sunday's Sagittarius Moon will remind us to stop and have a little fun, as we've all been working way too hard!

Past Life Healing: Take Your Heart Back!, by Shelley A. Kaehr, PhD
(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)
Over twenty years ago, shortly before my strange, near-death experience, I began hearing my inner voice say, "There's something wrong with your heart and you're not going to live much longer." Shortly thereafter, I found myself lifting out of my body one night, floating into that multidimensional space in time where I met some light beings who non-verbally directed me to return. The experience was pretty typical for these kinds of phenomenon.
Around this same time, I received more visitations from a friend who passed away years earlier and also sought out my first past-life regression.
One of the phenomenon I don't mention much but that is incredibly important is the fact that during that session, aside from the epiphanies I received from going into past lives, something incredible happened that changed my life for the better. I got my heart back. Allow me to explain.
During the session, I met with my deceased friend and asked if he had anything that belonged to me. Lo and behold, to my stunned amazement, I saw my heart appear on his hands. I couldn't believe it! I "imagined" myself lifting the heart from his hands and placing it back in my chest, and I had an immediate sensation where I felt that I became whole again and fully operational. In fact, whatever sent me into that light, the mysterious "virus" that nobody could diagnose at the hospital ER the night this happened, never, ever came back again. I suppose my inner guidance was right. Kind of. There was something wrong with my heart—I didn't have possession of mine.
You may wonder how such a thing could happen, and yet this is something that comes up quite often in regressions and like me, it can be one of the most important healing outcomes people receive during a session. Here are a few of the many ways people inadvertently give their hearts away:
- On the playground in school: We've all had young love, right? What if your tender heart fell head-over-heels in love with the cute kid with the freckles and curly hair on the playground in grade school and somehow, unbeknownst to you, you gave your heart to him or her, along with a tender kiss? Believe me, this happens all the time!
- In adolescence: I must tell you that every day of my life, I thank God that I am not a teenager anymore. Remember those raging hormones? Thinking that something had ruined your life irreparably forever? Yeah, me too, and it wasn't fun at all. So imagine how you may have willingly given your heart to that first real love. You forgot all about that person, but your heart is still with them.
- In adulthood in your current life: There are too many examples to name where this may have happened to you. You may have given your heart to someone later in your current life, and again, the challenge is that you are probably like me—totally unaware that you've done that.
- Past Lives: Our souls are vast and we have traveled through the multiverse in many lifetimes, many bodies and lot of experiences. Again, there are so many possible places where you could have dropped off your heart and you may be living your current life without something that you have not held in thousands of years.
You may wonder why this is important, or why you should care to take note and action to rectify this situation and take your heart back from whoever you gave it to. Let me share a few of the many results of this action:
- Physical Challenges: Like me, you may have a physical heart challenge. Please know that if that's the case, you obviously need medical attention. But what if there is something beyond the physical? We do hear much about the fact that many diseases and illnesses begin in the spiritual realm. For me, the reconnected heart really helped me tremendously!
- Relationship Challenges: I cannot tell you the number of people who wanted a regression to try and find out why they could not get a relationship to stick who found out that they did not even have their own hearts! It's kinda tough to love somebody if a medieval knight or an Irish princess took yours from you or you gave it away and had no idea you'd done it. This one issue and consciously reconnecting your heart can easily remedy that problem!
- General Challenges: We're all one, and yet we're all so different. The heart is so wise and because we now know that your heart actually has its own brain (your stomach does, too, according to the HeartMath Institute) so when it's missing, you could just lack overall vitality, have difficulties getting even business things going. We all should strive to love what we do, right? But what if we can't because again, we're too busy loving that gorgeous person back in ancient Egypt?
So how can you remedy this challenge? My latest book, Journeys Through the Akashic Records has tons of guided imagery exercises designed to help you find the answers to all the big questions in life. In the book, I've included all of the one-off exercises I've used successfully with clients who have unusual challenges, including one where you meet with the higher self of someone and experience something similar to what I did years ago that was so helpful. The process involves asking if another person has something that belongs to you and then taking it back. The taking it back part is another area that gets tricky for some people. What if you don't want it back? What if you want to love so-and-so forever? Well, that's entirely up to you, of course, but I will encourage you now and in the book that your life will be more complete if you have your heart intact. Who knows, you may find someone else you'd like to give it to later! (I'm kidding, of course. Please keep it! You need it!)
And for those who took a heart from someone else, a phenomenon that also happens, please, give it back. You will lighten your energetic load and feel better and more able to move forward with someone else or in new circumstances that will hopefully lead to greater joy and happiness in the current lifetime.
That's the reason why we do any of this in the first place—to make the now a more wonderful adventure. Pick up a copy of Journeys Through the Akashic Records, and while you're at it, please pick up your heart!

- Double Vision: Psychic Techniques for Finding Lost ObjectsContinue reading →
Recently I lost an important ring that I had purchased lovingly for myself. The missing ring is gold with a citrine stone in the center, sided with garnets. When I envision the ring on my right index finger, I can still feel the energy coming from it. I really need to have this ring returned, as the story behind it is special to my heart. Do you have any psychic or spiritual techniques for finding lost objects?
Astrea:
I know how frustrating it is to lose a treasured piece of jewelry. When my mother passed away, we hunted all over for her wedding ring, only to find it in her jewelry box later on. I had looked there several times, but it just wouldn't manifest for me. She would have enjoyed the fact that I was looking right at it and not seeing it. I'm hoping your ring is hiding in plain sight, like hers was!
If you're of the Christian faith, a prayer to St. Anthony will often bring the return of the item you seek. There are several versions of that prayer. Here they are below:
O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for me (here state your request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the saint of Miracles.
O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.
The above is the long version. Here is a more popular one that is far easier to remember:
St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come down. Something is lost and can't be found!
If you're pagan or open to a magickal approach, you might try this ritual: Assemble a mirror, a small magnet, and two candles. One candle should be black to represent the lost item, and the other candle should be orange for memory. Light some patchouli incense.
Place the candles in holders in front of the mirror and say three times:
I invite the elements as I move around to help my lost item to soon be found.
Touch the magnet (to draw the item to you) as you remember the last place you saw the item. If you look into the mirror, it will be revealed to you where it has been misplaced.
Be sure to blow the candles out when you're finished!
As a reminder to everyone, with the holidays here and company is around all the time, it's very easy to lose things that are precious to us. When life is chaotic, we're wise to be extra diligent in order to prevent losing things in the first place.

Susyn:
I'm recalling a time when I too lost a treasured piece of jewelry. As I searched for it over a few weeks' time, I discovered other things I had lost or misplaced in the process, and I began to realize as I searched that this jewelry was taking me on a journey to find other treasures.
I would search for a few days and then let it go. When the urge to find this item would rise up again, I would resume my quest. Then I would stop again after a few days. This continued for about three weeks until by chance I located it.
It's possible that your search for the ring is making it even more elusive. Instead, I recommend using the following spiritual methods to discover its whereabouts. In the mean time, continue to meditate and envision the ring on your finger at least once a day.
You can create or purchase a pendulum to help locate your ring. To create a makeshift pendulum, tie a magnet or quartz crystal to the end of a string. Hold the pendulum at the top of the string with your thumb and index finger, letting the magnet or crystal dangle at the bottom.
Ask the pendulum to show you the answer
yes.
It should start to move in a specific direction, such as left to right, front to back or in a circle. Then ask it to show you ano
answer. Note the direction it moves so you'll be clear on whether it is generating a positive or negative response.Then start to ask the pendulum a series of yes or no questions such as,
Is it in the bedroom?
andIs it in the car?
(etc.) to narrow down an area to begin your search.Visualization meditations may also help. Sit quietly in meditation and ask to be shown where the ring is. Once you relax and let the images come to you, you'll see the ring in its current environment. For example, if you see clothing or socks around it, it could be in one of your dresser drawers. If you see nature around it, you may want to retrace your steps through the garden or lawn.
Even if these methods don't produce the ring, I'm convinced you will find it when the time is right. In the interim, take note of how its misplacement is causing you to act spiritually and emotionally. The higher purpose behind this ring's disappearance is to create more awareness and spiritual experiences within you, and once it does, your ring will reappear as if by magic.
Astrea:
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.
