The Autumn Equinox and New Moon in Libra

By Psychic Jessica Luna

Summer is officially over on Sept. 23, and less than a week later we’ll be graced with the dark night of the first new moon cycle since the autumnal equinox. This new moon is special because this is the time where friends come together and partnerships and the holidays are on everyone’s brain. This is the new moon where you want to invoke the use of love and diplomacy in any situation that is not serving you at this time. Venus rules this sign and is in her most logical form. This is also the time to use the arts to stimulate your mind and your thinking.  

The Scorpio Full Moon — Illumination And Transformation

From Sivana By Arwen Bardsley

The Full Moon on 18/19th May 2019 rises in the sign of Scorpio, a water sign, always pregnant with emotional energy. Scorpio is often feared because it is a true representation of the dark, inner self that we often don’t want to reveal to the world.

We spend so much time and energy being afraid of our own authenticity due to societal expectations and the overbearing compare and despair culture of 24-hour media with everyone being the superstar in the movie of their life, put on display – the ‘good’ bits that is – for all to see.

5 Signs That He is Boyfriend Material

One question I have been asked a lot is whether or not the newest and greatest guy is truly boyfriend material. Will it last? Will he treat you in a manner you deserve or will he turn out like all the other Joe Schmoes who whoosh in, sweep you off your feet and then disappear without a trace. This happens all too often and is hurtful, disrespectful to you and ultimately, a waste of your valuable time.

It’s not easy to find the right connection. It’s not easy to feel an intense bond with someone and have it run the distance.

How to Avoid Petty Fights and Get What You Need in Your Relationship

By Mike Matthews

“It’s never overreacting to ask for what you want and need.” ~Amy Poehler

It was yet another stupid argument that escalated from nothing to a hundred miles an hour in seconds. I’d been there so many times before, entrenched in warfare with us both preparing our defenses and priming our attacks.

The intense emotions of the moment always took over, denying me the opportunity that hindsight would later afford me. Huge issues were, upon reflection, only minor disagreements about who had said what about the cooking, or where something had been left in the bathroom.

How to Enjoy the Holidays When Grieving the Loss of a Loved One

By Dr. Patrick O’Malley

This post contains an excerpt from GETTING GRIEF RIGHT: Finding Your Story of Love in the Sorrow of Loss, by Patrick O’Malley, PhD with Tim Madigan.

It was spring 1980 when my wife, Nancy, and I received some of the best news of our lives—she was pregnant with our first child.

On a Tuesday morning that September, we found ourselves sitting in her obstetrician’s office. Nancy, not due to deliver for three months, had been awakened the night before by a strange physical sensation.

3 Tips to Finding Your True Love, Your Soul Mate, Your Twin Flame

From Sivana By Cheryl Bruedigam:

There are soul mates, and then there are soul mates.

Soul mates may occur in various forms and relationships, including kindred-spirit types, karmic relationships, and the ultimate: twin flames.

Kindred Spirits

Kindred-spirit types of soul mates share the bond of like-mindedness, a recognizable relationship of some type from a past life, and the attributes of a shared soul-group.

These people come and go throughout your life; some stay, but many will enter your life briefly and then move on,

There’s a Difference Between Alone and Lonely

By Michael Davidson

“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the world.” ~Marcus Aurelius

At the end of August I moved to Madison, Wisconsin. This was my second major move in a year.

In both cases, I was separated from almost my entire prior social network. After college, making friends seems like a totally different ball game.

Here in Madison, I wake up before five in the morning to go to work and don’t get back until six or seven on most days of the week. This leaves me feeling exhausted,

9 Ways to Silence Self-Criticism and Embrace Self-Love

By Charlene Anestis

“I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.” ~John Green

Do you ever wonder if that voice in your head is right?

Do you re-live events, scouring through every detail to look for places where you went wrong in your actions?

Do you ever walk away from a conversation with your inner voice ranting that you should have done better—that you should have said this or that instead?

That self-critical voice became a prominent friend of mine. I called it the gremlin.

The Lost Art of Silence: Get Quiet and You’ll Know What You Need to Do

By Kiara Elliott

“Silence isn’t empty. It’s full of answers.” ~Unknown

Last week I was visiting the Scandinave, a Scandinavian-style bath spa, with my mom, when it struck me how rare true silence has become. By true silence, I mean silence in the form of not speaking, but also silence in the form of reflection, pause, a capacity to become still, a capacity to just be and not do.

The art of silence was lost. Even at these baths, where the goal was to disconnect and enjoy the stillness of nature, there was constant chatter among groups with voices audible across the pool.

5 Reasons to Forgive Yourself and How to Do Better Going Forward

By Alicia Rodriguez

“At the end of life, the wish to be forgiven is ultimately the chief desire of almost every human being. In refusing to wait; in extending forgiveness to others now; we begin the long journey of becoming the person who will be large enough, able enough and generous enough to receive, at the very end, that absolution ourselves.” ~David Whyte

The last time I saw my mother she was smiling and laughing at nothing in particular. My mother has had dementia for almost ten years now. Each visit brings an onslaught of guilt and uncomfortable feelings.
