  • Weekly Astrological Forecast for October 14 through October 20, 2024

    October 14 through October 20, 2024

    Monday and Tuesday could prove a mixed bag under the Scorpio Moon, so we’ll need to follow our intuition and practice higher awareness as we move through these days. An Aries Moon will prove most productive on Wednesday and Thursday, with the Moon waxing full in this fiery sign on Thursday. Venus will also move into Sagittarius, another fire sign on Thursday, making for an energetic and optimistic few days midweek. Keep in mind that full Moons signal a two-week period of release, and in Aries, we’ll be encouraged to let go of anything that is keeping us stuck or holding us back, which could range from bad habits to unfulfilling relationships. Whether we’re sabotaging ourselves or others keep undermining our efforts, we’ll find new ways to let go of anything that is slowing our movement. Friday and Saturday unfold under an easy-going Taurus Moon, encouraging us to wind down and relax after a week of twists and turns. We can designate Sunday as a day to connect with others or update our social media pages as the Moon dances through Gemini and encourages communication, curiosity, and internet activities.

  • A New(merological) Spin on the Law of Attraction

    A New(merological) Spin on the Law of Attraction, by Michael Smith

    (Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

    The law of attraction is the well-known universal principle of transforming thoughts into reality using the vibrational principle of resonance, or, "like attracts like." And this isn't only something we do to get what we want but actually do all the time, whether or not we realize it.

    As vibrational expressions of consciousness ourselves, we are always projecting both conscious thoughts and unconscious beliefs to the universe. However, the universe doesn't differentiate between wanted and unwanted beliefs. The vibrational thoughtform we hold, whatever it may be, is what the universe seeks to match with a reality of like vibration. Also, just as the twelve frequencies of the base-12 numerology cycle (shown above) are general themes or archetypes rather than specific intentions, our thoughts and beliefs manifest from a broad range of possibilities unless we restrict them to a narrow outcome—something we do all too often.

    For instance, if you would love to visit Hawaii when you retire and can't stop thinking about the exhilarating freedom that tropical adventure would bring, it is actually the 5 theme of change that you are more broadly attracting. This therefore attracts a variety of experiences into your reality that resonate with that overall energy of change and freedom: maybe you are asked to travel to Mexico on an unexpected business trip, perhaps you run into an old friend who is a travel agent, or suddenly you get invited to a destination wedding in Aruba, all expenses paid.

    This highlights the key to effective manifesting: the universe, your Higher Self and your spiritual team of guides know you far better than you do with your physically limited perspective. This is why it's always best to focus your thoughts on the theme you wish to attract rather than its specific form and to let the universe do the rest. If you hold out for a specific outcome, like that trip to Hawaii and only when you retire, you may miss out on many other opportunities and synchronicities in the meantime that would bring you the same type of joy in an even more timely and fulfilling way. So remember, the universe knows you best (please don't tell your mother I said that).

    The Law of Attraction 1.0
    The way the law of attraction is traditionally described is as a three-step process of focusing your attention on what you desire, maintaining your emotional alignment with that desire, and then allowing the best outcome to manifest without restricting the form it may take. This three-step process of asking, allowing, and receiving is how the law of attraction is typically summed up, and is the way I first learned about it.

    Still, like myself, many experience mixed results in following this somewhat simplistic and vague formula. The great news is that the base-12 prime waveform expands and clarifies this process, explaining the specific vibrational principles involved in this powerful tool.

    The Law of Attraction 12.0
    Actually involving six steps rather than three, this new spin on the classic law of attraction incorporates all twelve themes of the base-12 numerology cycle in a vibrationally balanced way. To explain, let's review what that cycle represents.

    The base-12 numerology cycle is what I believe to be the creative blueprint of physical and spiritual duality from which everything emerges, where the first half of the cycle from 0 to 5 represents physically focused themes and the second half from 6 to 11 their spiritually enlightened counterparts inspired by love. As such, each of the spiritual themes from 6 to 11 are vibrationally the result of adding the 6 of love to the physical themes from 0 to 5 (i.e. 0 + 6 = 6, 1 + 6 = 7, 2 + 6 = 8, 3 + 6 = 9, 4 + 6 = 10 and 5 + 6 = 11). These six pairings of 0/6, 1/7, 2/8, 3/9, 4/10 and 5/11 therefore represent the six steps required to manifest in a physically and spiritually balanced way.

    Also, to know a theme well within the base-12 cycle is to experience and understand its full vibrational range, essentially the net vibration of the upper and lower waves when combined. This combined wave (shown in grey) is the path of resonance along which we can best resonate with the prime waveform—our path of least resistance to love. Note, too, how the figure-8 path of base-12 cycle follows a forward spin direction along the solid wave from 0 to 12 and a backward spin along the dashed wave from 12 to 0. The solid wave represents the positive polarity of asserting a theme into reality—of projecting our thoughts forward—while the dashed wave is its opposite polarity of allowing potentials to happen—of attracting matching outcomes towards us. As each of the twelve number themes are defined by its probability profile between those two waves and their opposing spin directions, it requires both assertion and allowance to "freeze" a theme's spin in place long enough for it to manifest.

    So let's walk through the six steps to understand how they work together as a vibrationally complete and love-inspired process of turning thoughts into reality:

    • Step 1: Imagine a potential (0) you are passionate about (6)
    • Step 2: Focus (1) on that desire, believing (7) it is possible
    • Step 3: Emotionally relate (2) to the feeling of it achieved, knowing you are worthy (8)
    • Step 4: Allow synchronicity to guide you (3), trusting it will happen (9)
    • Step 5: Be flexible as to the form it may take (4), keeping open-minded and alert (10)
    • Step 6: Act on the opportunity (5) once it is illuminated (11)

    Here are some additional tips to make the most of the base-12 manifestation process:

    • In step 1, use your intuitive senses to identify what truly excites you, not just what you think sounds exciting. We are all unique and each of us have a different picture of what would make us happy, so follow your own inner guidance rather than what appears to make others happy.
    • In step 2, make sure you're focusing on what you want (e.g. a supportive relationship) rather than avoiding what you don't want (e.g. a controlling and insensitive partner).
    • In step 3, it is important to hold the fulfilled emotion of already having achieved what you're trying to manifest rather than the unfulfilled desire of something you still currently lack.
    • In step 4, remember to release expectations and allow the universe to bring to you what is in your greatest good without trying to force a particular outcome.
    • In step 5, keep your eyes open for little signs and synchronicities that are leading you towards your new manifestation. Here, you need to go with the flow and follow your intuitive GPS for what feels right. And above all, be patient as impatience is just another flavor of lack that will work against your best efforts to attract abundance.
    • Last, in step 6, have the courage to seize what comes your way. We all have regrets about opportunities on which we didn't act, whether out of fear or complacency. So when positive things manifest, even if they aren't what you expect, grab hold and see where they lead.

    Often when manifesting, your new reality takes shape over a series of choreographed steps rather than one big pay day. It's like playing chess; each move brings you closer to your goal but needs to be recalculated each step of the way depending on what the other player does and how the game board develops. We are never creating our reality on our own but rather co-creating with the realities of everyone and everything affected by our choices. Not to worry, though—the universe has a handle on this intricate network of cause and effect. All you have to do is simply trust the process and let the universe strategize your best path.

  • Double Vision: Is it Unspiritual to Desire Fame and Fortune?

    I have always had this feeling that I was meant to be rich and famous, but it's never come true. I realized something today: Maybe this is what I'm looking for in a man - someone who is powerful and wealthy. On the other hand, I want to be the one who has the freedom to pursue anything, go anywhere, spend money frivolously and attract lots of attention. Am I just a very selfish, unspiritual person? Am I messing up my karma and happiness by desiring such superficial things? I would love to just be able to pay my bills and raise my children without such struggle. Should I focus all my energy on that instead of wanting fame and fortune?

    - Lisa

    Dreamchaser:

    Lisa, you have no idea what you want, do you? On one hand, you say you would love to be rich and famous. On the other hand, you say you would love to just be able to pay your bills and raise your children without struggle.

    Then you say you would like to find a rich and powerful man. On the other hand, you say you want to be footloose and fancy-free. As long as you have no idea what you want, you will continue to get nothing.

    There is no harm, no bad karma, and no punishment or penalty at all for wanting to be prosperous on ALL levels. The Universe/ God/ Spirit/ whatever name you prefer wants you to have whatever you want.

    Besides, the more money good people have, the more they can help those who are less fortunate. So someone like you getting a bunch of money would be a good thing, because you would help a whole lot of people who are less fortunate than you are. That in itself is one really good reason for you to have what you want, but there are many other good reasons too.

    The Universe is not holding out on you, Lisa. You are holding yourself back from fulfillment by not knowing what you want. You can't ask the Universe for something if you don't know what it is.

    Your homework is to figure out what you really want. It doesn't matter if you think you can actually HAVE it or not - just pick what you want and then spend about 15 minutes a day imagining what it would be like to have it. Allow your mind to go there. Allow yourself to play make believe. REALLY feel what it would be like to have what you want and be who you want to be.

    I'm reading a new book now called The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks. In it, they repeat over and over how we get what we think about whether we want it or not.

    I recommend you start thinking about what you want, and quit thinking about what you don't want. You might want to pick up this book too, as I feel it would help you a lot.

    Also, please let go of that outdated and completely false belief that wanting financial abundance is greedy and sinful. It's not! We were just raised in a puritanical society that somehow made self-denial look honorable.

    All we have to do is ask for what we want, for the Universe will handle the HOW part. We don't have to try to control how blessings will come into our lives: we just ask and they come.

    Figure out what you really want so you can start asking for it, and please don't feel bad, Lisa. I can't tell you how many people have no idea what they want either.

    I wish you great fun in discovering your true desires.

    *****

    Astrea:

    It certainly seems reasonable to me to want enough money to pay your bills and take care of your kids! The Universe wants us to do everything in our power to be happy, and it works with us and for us to that end.

    Wanting to feel more blessed and more important is normal - you're just one of the few people brave enough to admit it! Everyone wants abundance and most people do all they can to get it.

    Feeling average is what is keeping you average. Don't let that feeling control you or make you feel trapped in your current circumstances. At one time you had some specific goals and dreams that would carry you to the fame and fortune you desire. You just need to revive those goals and dreams and pursue them with all your heart. It really is up to you what happens in your life.

    Of course, the Universe doesn't just hand out fame and fortune. When things don't work out the way people want them to, I often hear them say they guess it just wasn't meant to be. While I'm chatting with them, they'll say, I guess I'm just meant to be alone, or I guess I'm not meant to have the job I want, or I guess this relationship isn't meant to work out.

    This sort of thinking is illusionary and leaves people feeling helpless and disempowered about their own future. It also runs counter to the Law of Attraction, which tells us that we create our own realities, and if we focus on what we want, we will get it. If we feel too overwhelmed to deal with our lives or fulfill big dreams, we can always turn to higher sources for aid.

    When people blame destiny for things not working out, they tend to use it as an excuse to give up on goals that just take more effort than they want to expend. People who are rich and famous usually don't get that way because it's meant to be, but because they work hard and focus their energy on fulfilling their dreams.

    Regardless of what you may see on TV, no one is discovered simply because it's their destiny to be. It may seem like the rich and famous have better luck than the rest of us, but their success is a result of their conscious intentions and focused efforts.

    We shape and control our own destiny: what we do with the life we're given is up to us. We have the free will to choose to fulfill big dreams or to sort of coast along through life. Each one of us is born with the potential to become rich, psychic, married, educated, loved, or whatever we long to be.

    Figure what you really want and go out and get it, Tiger! By pursuing your dreams, you're not being selfish or unreasonable at all.

    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.
