5 Steps to Manifest Love With New Moon Solar Eclipse [EXPERT]

There's enough magic here for believer and skeptic alike.....Venus is in retrograde too!

Even if you don't follow astrology at all, there are certain events in the sky that you just can't miss. Sunday, May 20 is one of those days. Both the New Moon and a Solar Eclipse are happening at the same time. I am an astrology fan and have consulted both quirky and quacky astrologers in my day and there are a couple of astrology websites that I follow. I don't read my horoscope every day but I do tune in when I have an important decision to make and knowing my Scorpio nature helps me manage my emotional energy for sure.

FEEL Your Way to Your Beloved!

Start your soulmate journey NOW!

I remember my single days and struggling with how LONG it was taking to find my One. I was doing everything I had been told to do by the soulmate books I was reading: I had a long “soulmate list” that was very clear of who my soulmate was, I had a soulmate “vision binder” (I had put pictures of happy couples, etc in a binder, like a vision board), I was getting out there, going on blind dates, you name it, I was doing it. But nothing was happening.

The Morning After

The Morning After

The Morning After For many of my readers today is the Morning After Christmas. The day when all the hoopla that has been the focus of attention is over. There is often a mixed feeling of relief and let down coming together all at once. Some cultures have addressed this issue by making a special Holiday to finish off the festivities. Boxing Day is the one I am familiar with, having been a part of an Irish family for many years in my first marriage.

6 Sexual Rituals To Honor The Autumnal Equinox

Enjoy the power of the fall season through Pagan rituals or your own!

If you like indulging in pagan rituals, the autumnal equinox as a symbol of the harvest, or digging into those urges to honor the real meaning of Halloween (to help spirits transition to the other side), then you are in for a treat. Instead of dancing around in feathers at a goddess retreat, for a true pagan holiday on October 31, perhaps you enjoy engaging in a more mundane pattern, like flossing your teeth, making the sign of the cross when you enter a church, or brushing your darling's hair before bed. Then again, maybe you like to revisit the "City of Lights" and speak French once a year while munching on a fresh baguette in a chic cafe. Yes, any way you like it, you enjoy rituals, and each season we can discover ritual-making opportunities for your sexuality, as well.

The Heart-Mind Connection

The Heart-Mind Connection

Having a joyful heart is good for your mental health!

It's time to start feeling good in order to maintain a healthy state of mind that is attractive to love. In today's world, very little value is given to the feelings we experience on a daily basis. We are bombarded by images of war, starvation, natural disasters, the disappearance of species, melting icecaps, global warming...and I ask you, how much can any of us stand before we start shutting down emotionally to all this horror? Shutting down and living in denial wreaks havoc on our hearts, and that leads to romantic disconnect, for sure!

How To Cut Energetic Ties After Sex

How To Cut Energetic Ties After Sex

Create a ritual and detox your system from past lovers once and for all.

If the sexual revolution is valid and casual sex is fun and appropriate for some, why is there so much heartbreak? Why is it so hard to move on after a break up?  Why can't some women just let go?   It may not be fair, but women are truly "tied" to their sexual partners.  It is inevitable....it is hard wired into your biology.
