Pisces New Moon - stop, breathe, go within!

Hi Everyone,

Do you feel like the weather these days - sunny, rainy, hailing - all in one day? How are the strong energies treating you these days? Some of you know that I have a puppy now so my life has turned upside down literally and I am still trying to adjust. Busyness has been predominant even when I am not teaching many classes at the moment. Some days, I feel like a hamster on the wheel going many miles an hour but getting nowhere.

One of the lessons of the upcoming New Moon in Pisces is to stop, breath and reflect. New Moons are about planting the seeds for the next cycle. When the Moon is in Pisces, it invites us to meditate, to find me time to go within and connect with our Spirit. It also invites us to align our life with the flow of life. Many times, we associate doing with our self worth instead of just being. Tomorrow, I invite you to spend some time just being. Also evaluate what your priorities are and choose to dedicate a time to connect with your Spirit daily so you are align with your purpose. We live in a world that equates being busy with being successful. Let´s decode that notion and code the notion of relaxation is also part of leading a successful life. Self care is essential in these days of high stress and high anxiety around us. Put yourself in your schedule and make sure you dedicate some "me" time daily when possible, but at least weekly.

We are also entering the shadow of Mercury Retrograde. Mercury will turn retro in Aries on March 24th. It will remain retrograde till April 14th. Retrograde periods are times to not take action but go back to the drawing table and figure out what our next steps are. Also see what our motivations are in the projects we have going or the ideas that are coming up. Aries is the initiator, the spark that gets us going. When Mercury is retro in this sign, it is inviting us to revisit our ideas so when we push forward, we will begin a project that deserves to be our priority. During the Mercury Retrograde period, we may feel that we lack motivation or anything that we begin is being blocked, we may feel stuck and have a sense that no matter what we start, it is not going nowhere. Remember, it´s a time to revisit, plan and strategize but not to execute. If you try to execute, you may find more roadblocks than blessings. Use the time wisely and get clear on what you want so in April, you will have the energy to manifest it.

Many blessings,

Virgo Full Moon - Time to Declutter!

Hi Everyone,

March is here! Can you believe it? It feels like January and February flew by and here we are, getting closer to spring and the question becomes, what is about to bloom for you? Today, we have a Full Moon in Virgo. If you recall from previous messages, Full Moons are about completion, to coming full circle, to becoming whole. Virgo is a sign related to healing, getting organized, refining and simplifying. If we put together spring and simplifying, what do we get? Yes, you guessed it! Spring Cleaning or Decluttering! During this period, you are invited to look at your life and see where you are holding on to things that you no longer need or serve you in any way. It is also a great time to refine your connections and shed those relationships that are toxic or not healthy at this time.

Most of us carry the wound of not feeling enough or worthy. If you are one of us, this is a good time to work on healing that wound as Mercury and Venus are touching Chiron. This is a moment when we have to decide to go for relationships that are mutual and reciprocal. Stop giving more than enough because you feel you are not enough. It´s time to decode the pattern of unworthy and code a new pattern of worth based on who you are and not what you give to others.

The Full Moon will oppose Neptune in Piscis. What does this mean to you? This is a good time to follow your intuition, pay attention to your dreams and meditate or go into quiet contemplation. You will get more answers from connecting to your soul than by looking outside or using your intellect. Allow yourself to surrender and go with the flow, that flow that takes you to your soul.

Use this astrological time wisely and declutter your life, stay true to who you are and allow happiness and gratitude to be part of your every day life.

Many blessings,

Carolina

Aquarius Solar Eclipse - February 15

Hi Everyone,

February is here! Time is flying by and we are faced with another eclipse. This time, it is a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 15, just after Valentine´s day! Aquarius is the sign of the pioneers and it is pushing us to think outside the box. It is also bringing us the ability to see the bigger picture and have a breakthrough. Can you see all the possibilities around you? Where are you limiting yourself? Where are you selling yourself short?

This Eclipse is a call to realize the power of our thoughts. Like my teacher and mentor, Sonia Choquette, says our subconscious mind does not know whether manifestation is good or bad. If we think we can have it all, we will have it all. If we think we can´t have nothing, we will have nothing. Our subconscious mind just says yes to whatever we think. Knowing this, what are the qualities of your thoughts? Do you believe in all possibilities? Do you have opposite thoughts such as you want a new job but you believe there are no jobs our there?

This is the time to get ahold of our thoughts and make sure that they are fueling our future and not setting blocks in our way. This Eclipse also allows us to look within and find the roots of old problems and patterns so we can heal them, release them and move on. Remember Eclipses are good for cutting and clearing, also setting the way for the next steps. We are fast approaching our next Mercury retrograde in March. Use this time wisely to set up the stage for what you want to manifest in 2018.

We are transiting powerful times of transformation. This is the time to upgrade our believes and move forward to our 2.0 version of ourselves. Are you ready?

The time is now, it´s time to leap into your authentic self!

Many blessings,
Carolina

Fake, Childish, Narcissistic... Lessons of the West

"Think of three people you admire." .... That´s how the exercise began. The next question was "Think of three people who really annoy you.".... That´s when I wondered why it is easier to think of people who rub you the wrong way instead of those who you admire. I feel there are not many people I admire these days but there are people who I have respect for. I come from a long journey of putting people in pedestals and then getting disappointed, so these days, nobody goes on the pedestal because there is no pedestal. Time has taught me that we are all one and nobody is above or below anyone. We are all walking alongside in the journey of life. Perceptions may make people think they are below or above but in reality we are all one and when we realize that, we also realize our value and the value we bring to the whole. 

Going back to the exercise, now you may be wondering what exercise I am talking about? Last October, I started my journey to go around the Medicine Wheel. This wheel combines the energies of the Native American People and the People from the Andes. I felt that I dedicated sufficient time to the European traditions and it was time to start exploring my roots. Little did I know that the work of the Wheel would bring me so many lessons. As I finished the South last December, I can say I shedded some of my core issues but the work is not complete, not until I go around the Wheel. Now, I am in the West and this direction brings new lessons, new journeys, new discoveries and more healing. 

During the exercise, I was able to identify the three people who rub me the wrong way (maybe I could find more than three but don´t tell anybody - just kidding). After identifying these people, the exercise was to identify the core issues that triggered me. That´s where fake, childish and narcissistic came from. The interesting part of the exercise was tapping into the reality of why this person was fake, or childish, or narcissistic, and finding that fake was just a way to make sure this person would survive, like a chameleon that needs to adjust to their reality. Childish was a way of not growing up as this person had not experienced being a child when this person was young. Narcissistic was just a way to be the center because that´s how they would get attention. The next part of the exercise was to see the gift in the triggers and that made me realize how I need to feed my inner child and put myself in the picture instead of putting other people first and then resenting it. Fake was an interesting lesson as I remembered how when I landed in this country, I chose to take my ex-husband´s name and I became Carolina Boggs, no document or record existed of Amor in the USA. I made that decision intentionally to blend in as I felt I would not have the same opportunities if I was Carolina Amor and people knew I came from Argentina. I was only 23 years old and full of fears. As the years passed, I missed my roots and I missed my maiden name so I began including it as Amor-Boggs until the time I got divorced and that´s when I reclaimed my name completely. It took 10 years of living in this country to be able to feel safe and express who I was so I can say "fake" is something I have experienced. 

Part of the lesson of the exercise is to be able to recognize that those things that trigger us are part of us. They are part of our shadow and the moment we own them, we are able to claim that power. What are your triggers? Can you think of three people that rub you the wrong way? Maybe more :) What are the core issues with those people?  I invite you to take some time and do the same exercise I did because there is power in it. There is healing power. Shadow work is part of becoming whole and of healing our wounds.

Fake, Childish, Narcissistic are the Lessons of the West for me. What are yours?

Blessings,

Carolina

Depressed or Exhausted? What do you prefer?

2018 is here! How is the new year treating you? Are you ready to follow your heart or will you live in fear? Do you want to be exhausted or do you want to be depressed? Are you ready to climb that mountain of your desire? These are some of the questions Capricorn is asking us these days and with 6 planets in Capricorn and a New Moon in Capricorn, these energies are resonating quite strong in us. The time is now to get it done but remember to follow your heart and not what you think you should do because here is not about what is right for others, it is about following what makes your heart sign, what your passion is. So the question becomes, do you know what you truly want?

We are at the crossroads and the time has come to face our fears and claim our power. If we don´t, we will live in fear and be depressed thinking of what could have been but we were not brave enough to make it happen. Instead, embrace your fire and jump in. I am not saying it will be easy because Capricorn asks for hard work but Capricorn is also the sign that helps us build our foundations and with Saturn transiting it´s home sign, it could not be a better time to get those projects done. You may be exhausted at the end but accomplished and happy. The choice is yours - depressed or exhausted?

I invite you to spend some time during this New Moon in meditation and determine what plans you want to see manifest. You may have many, and some of those may not be yours, so shed the unnecessary plans, declutter your mind and set the course to accomplish those that follow your passion. You passion will be the fuel that will ensure you get to the end goal. Don´t let fear interfere, instead, sit in the driver´s seat of your own life and don´t allow the GPS to guide you anymore, that GPS that is tied to the societal mandates. Instead, chart your way and move forward. If you get paralyzed, just remember fear stands for fantasized events appearing real. This week, a person told me to face my own fears, to feel them and do the things anyway. I say the same to you today, just move forward. This is a year where we can accomplish great things and it´s up to us, it´s our choice. Do you want to be exhausted or depressed at the end of the year? The choice is always yours.

Blessings,

New Year, New You, and a Full Moon in Cancer

2017 is coming to an end. A time of reflection and setting new goals is ahead. As with every new day, every year brings an opportunity to reshape our vision and redefine who we are so we get closer to our authentic self. If we do our work, year after year, we shed layers of stale and stagnant parts of us that do not serve us anymore. 2018 is no different as it provides an opportunity to solidify who we are and follow our dreams. Jupiter in Scorpio is asking us to face our shadows and Saturn in Capricorn is telling us the time has come to get our stuff together, fix the issues and get our house in order. There is no escape this time around, once you see it, you can´t deny it and you are asked to fix it, clean it and release it.

2018 begins with a Full Moon in Cancer. Full Moons are great to illuminate those areas where we need to take action. They also point to areas where we are ready for completion. The Moon is happy in Cancer as it is her home town. In Her sign, She prompts us to look at what areas are stagnant in our lives? Are our waters muddy? Where are our fears running the show? Are we not allowing ourselves to dream big? The Moon in Cancer also activates our intuition but the question is do you trust your intuition? Can you say yes to the guidance you receive or do you second guess it?

My teacher and mentor, Sonia Choquette, wrote in her book Psychic Pathways that in order to be psychic, you need to make four necessary decisions. You need to decide:

- You are open to psychic guidance.
- You will expect psychic guidance.
- You will trust psychic guidance.
- You will act on psychic guidance.

During this Full Moon, your intuition will be active so it is imperative that you follow the four decisions listed above. You need to be open, expect it, trust it and act on it. If any step is missing, you will be breaking the flow so you need all of them. If you are one of those who does not trust your psychic senses, I invite you to play the game "I am psychic" and follow the fours steps above. You may wonder how you play that game right? Well just for 24 hours pretend you are psychic. Act as if you were psychic. What would you do? Trust me when I say that our intuition works better when we keep an open heart, we play and we trust the subtle messages we receive. If you follow these steps, I can promise you that you will receive the necessary information you need to set 2018 on fire and get your ball rolling. Trust me on this or humor me, your choice!

Happy New Year! May 2018 be filled with happiness, prosperity, good health and love!

Blessings,

Carolina
