  • Weekly Astrological Forecast for January 8 through January 14, 2024

    January 8 through January 14, 2024

    The Capricorn new Moon occurs on Thursday, but the energy for fresh starts will abound all week long. There's a tendency for lots of talk and little action under Monday and Tuesday's Sagittarius Moon, but it's all part of the plan to bring us back into work mode, so let's not worry if we don't get much done. The Capricorn Moon is the aspect that will get us back up and running on Wednesday and Thursday, and we'll be able to catch up in record time, allowing us to tie up any loose ends from last year and put a stake in the ground for new enterprises. Change will be the theme as the Moon dances through Aquarius on Friday and Saturday, whether we are looking for a new job, home or relationship. Finding new ways to manifest our dreams is essential now, because as we know, nothing changes if nothing changes! Sunday's Pisces Moon will inspire us spiritually, so let's listen for that small intuitive voice within that is sure to direct us forward.

  • Q&A with Scott Stabile Author of Enough as You Are

    Q&A with Scott Stabile Author of Enough as You Are

    In a world dominated by the relentless pursuit of self-improvement, author Scott Stabile’s new book Enough as You Are (New World Library, October 17, 2023) offers a refreshing perspective on self-acceptance by empowering readers to find contentment in their inherent worth. We hope you’ll enjoy this Q&A with Scott about the book.


    Tell us about your book Enough as You Are and what inspired you to write it?

    It’s so important to remember our inherent worth as human beings, that we are indeed enough, just as we are. I convey this truth in all the work I do and wanted to write a book rooted in our enoughness; a call for deeper self-acceptance and self-love, a reminder that even with all our fears, insecurities and anxieties, we are still worthy human beings. This book is a collection of short prose and poetry, the type of book you can read straight through or treat like an oracle deck of sorts, turning to a page each day and meditating on the theme of that page’s message.

    What is a “Love Activist” and why is it a title you happily own?

    I see a love activist as someone who makes a lot of noise for the power of love, who is intentional about reminding the world that love is our greatest healer, and with it informing our thoughts, words and actions, there are no limits to what we can co-create here. I don’t see myself as an expert in anything, but I’ve gotten really good at loving myself and others, and really good at encouraging others to do so too.

    You say that our relationship with ourselves informs how we show up in the world more than anything else. How so?

    When I’m in good relationship with myself, I tend to be in good relationship with the world around me. When I’m feeling like crap about myself, it colors how I feel about the world too. It all starts from within. But love—even self-love—always transcends self, which is why it’s so important to focus on our relationship with ourselves, and to foster as much self-compassion and self-love as we can, knowing that doing so will benefit all, first and foremost ourselves. Self-love is the most beautiful selfishness that exists in our world.

    You mention forgiveness several times throughout the book. Why is forgiveness important, and do you believe it’s necessary for everyone to forgive?

    I don’t believe it’s necessary for everyone to do anything, but I have seen time and again how liberating it feels to forgive. I see forgiveness as a natural extension of love, and as a pathway for peace as I relate to past hurts. I don’t believe the darkness that lives in even the most hurtful actions of others is greater than the love that lives within my being, and so I always see forgiveness as a possibility. But that’s my path. Yes, I believe anyone who finds their way to forgiveness will be served by doing so, but it is up to them to decide if that’s the path they want to take.

    Why is Enough as You Are especially important at this moment in time?

    The essence of Enough as You Are will always be important, because we need to come into a more loving relationship with ourselves, and to realize we are worthy, so that we can start treating each other with more compassion and love, and actually stand a chance to transform our world for the better by doing do. It really does all start from within.

    You say that it’s necessary to numb ourselves sometimes. How does that align with your call for us to feel our feelings in an honest way?

    I don’t believe healing happens in our denial; it happens when we’re willing to be honest with how we’re feeling and accepting enough to love ourselves through the process. At the same time, this reality can be incredibly difficult, and it can be overwhelming to be feeling everything all the time. It’s human nature to want to check out sometimes, to numb. I’m interested in bringing grace and acceptance to whatever I’m choosing, knowing that all my choices are representative of the human experience. I know, though, that if all I’m doing is numbing, I’m bringing myself no closer to creating ease around whatever it is I’m numbing from.

    What do you most hope readers will take away from your book?

    My hope is that readers will feel seen and understand, at least in some ways, when they read Enough as You Are. I want them to recognize how similar we all are as human beings, all of us wanting to love and be loved. In this recognition, my hope is that readers will be a bit more empathetic and compassionate with others, and with themselves. I want them to understand that their worth is inherent, predicated on nothing other than their birthright as a worthy human being. I want them to feel the promise of the title, that they are without question, enough as they are.

  • Double Vision: Could She Be a Mermaid?

    My mom told me that two weeks prior to my birth, she had a dream in which she was sitting by the sea when all of a sudden the sea parted, and right in the middle of the sea walking towards her was a beautiful woman in white, carrying a tiny baby girl. She said the woman floated towards her, looked at her and smiled, and gave the baby to her. In this dream she was pregnant, so she was wondering why the woman gave her the child. The woman turned back and went back into the sea, and the sea came together again. Two weeks later, she gave birth to the same child - me! As a child, I was haunted by dreams in which I was swimming with mermaids and fishes. I had a whole series of them. Then I woke up one day and needed to urinate, but I couldn't because in place of my two legs was a fish tail. I went back to sleep and when I woke up again, it was gone! There are so many things I can't explain. I am considered to be a highly gifted young woman, and I still do odd things in my sleep. WHO AM I? How do I make good use of the powers I know I possess? I see dead friends in my sleep and we talk, and the whole time I know that they are on the other side. I'm really wondering if there is something different about me related to these mermaid dreams. What do you think?

    - Nola

    Dreamchaser:

    I believe your mother had a prophetic dream of what you were going to look like. I also see that your mother considers you a gift from the Universe. You didn't tell us your birth date, but are you by any chance a water sign?

    It's quite common for a woman to dream of the child she is carrying. When we are pregnant, we're forming a psychic bond with the child in our bellies. I've heard many stories of women who "saw" their children in dreams or visions.

    You've had very active dreams your entire life, and you do a lot of your soul work while you're sleeping. As I have stated over and over here, when we sleep, our souls leave our bodies and go to where they most need to go to clean up from today and prepare for tomorrow. Some people (like you) remember their dreams vividly, while others (like me) rarely remember a dream. We both are doing the same amount of soul work in our sleep - you just happen to remember your soul work more easily than I do.

    Water and things IN water have always signified emotions. When we dream of water and the things that water holds, we are working through emotional issues. As a child, you were quite emotional. You felt out of place, and you had a lot of emotional issues to deal with as a result of not fitting in like the other kids. You dealt with lots of those issues while you were sleeping.

    When you dreamed of being in the water, it was an environment that other people could not enter, for they were human. YOU fit in there and you felt like you belonged with the other fish and mer-people. It was your mind's way of dealing with not being accepted into the society you had to live in every day.

    I have always heard that when we need to urinate, we often dream of water. I am not in any way trying to minimize your dreams, but you mentioned yourself that you would wake up having to go to the bathroom.

    As you've grown, you've started to associate with spirits on the Otherside that you know (and also many you do not know) when you sleep. Again, you are doing most of your soul work and psychic work while you sleep.

    You have to accept the fact that you are psychic, and that you are never going to fit into "normal" society. Stop trying to do so. Once you do stop trying and accept that you are different in a wonderful way, you will see this work coming into your physical world, and not so much in your dream world. If we suppress what we are, it WILL manifest in some way. Your way is to dream it.

    I wish you acceptance of your special nature!

    Astrea:

    What an interesting story! You mother was visited by a Sea Goddess who wanted you to have what she never experienced: a human life! You were given to your mom because SHE has a special connection to the sea too. You were probably mother and daughter in a mermaid incarnation. Your fishtail dream was a "memory" of that incarnation, and also a MESSAGE from that Sea Goddess that you need to get started on your mission in life.

    Why would the Sea Goddess give up her own daughter to a human existence, when humans have to suffer, grow old and die? If you explore mermaid lore, you'll discover that mermaids aren't actually very sweet. In fact, in most depictions, they are shown to be rather mean-spirited creatures. They are forever trying to down ships and drown an assortment of people, mostly sailors. Your sea mother didn't want you to have to experience all that. Also, she had a higher plan for your human life in mind.

    If you want to fulfill your highest destiny, listen carefully. If you're not in the communications field yet, get as much information as you can about how you can move into that arena as quickly as possible. Look for a university that is engaged in studying human/dolphin communication. (Dolphins, by the way, could tell you a lot about your past lives, because dolphins can remember all their incarnations vividly). I believe USC San Diego does that - also UCLA Berkley. Get a grant (one will become magically available as soon as you begin to look) to attend that university and start studying!

    In a short time, you'll begin to see more and more that your mission in life is to help unite the sea world with the world of humans. Sadly, human beings are so abusive to the sea. Perhaps we're seeing such deadly tsunamis and hurricanes these days so we wake up to its blessings and power.

    You could be a trailblazer in a new field called "Marine Life Communication," and there will be many discoveries that you will make with a new partner who also has had incarnations in the sea. This person will enter your life as a fellow student. As time passes, you'll be very instrumental in garnering attention for important ocean issues.

    It's going to be a big job, and you'll need lots of support. The next time you're at the shore, write a letter to your Sea Mother in the sand at low tide. When the tide comes in and covers your letter, the waves will take your message to her. She's been waiting a long time to hear from you, and she'll guide you and help you along your path.

    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.
