Mercury Retrograde Is Here Until September 18th

Well folks, the planet Mercury is about to go into retrograde with Virgo on August 20Th. Unfortunately this will last until September 18Th and the effects of the retrograde will most likely hang with us until about the 20Th of September. The below article information will give you a little more understanding of the effects the retrograde can have. For more in depth information on this retrograde you can also check out astrology.com.

Mercury Retrograde

August 20 to September 18, 2010

Here we go again. Mercury goes retrograde once again. It happens about 3 times a year and can last anywhere from a few weeks up to a few months. This time the retrograde is from August 20 to September 18, 2010. The next time we have to endure the retrograde will be from December 10 to December 30, 2010.

This is an important period, and we should be aware of the effects associated with this astrological influence. Since it occurs very often throughout the year, we must learn what it means and how to take advantage of it.

Astronomical Background

There is no real backwards movement of Mercury; it's just that we see it this way from Earth, because of the combined movement of the Earth and Mercury around the Sun. However, astrologically this is very relevant.

General Influence Of Mercury Retrograde

Mercury rules over the mind's processes, studying, communication, businesses, travels and the like. When Mercury reverses its direction, all these areas are affected as well.

The mind turns naturally inwards and people tend to analyze more the own thoughts and follow the common thinking patterns, rather then be curious and eager of new intellectual experiences or challenges. This helps the meditation or the thorough lonely long-term study of a specific matter, but it affects the study of new subjects, the communication with the others, the attention oriented outwards.

Businesses, travels and communications tend to experience delays and different problems. Computers and other processes that work with information may experience crashes, unexpected failures.

Don't enroll to courses, don't buy expensive Mercurian items (books, cars, mobile phones etc.), don't sign important contracts and do not marry.

What Is This Mercury Retrograde Period Good For?

It is definitely a very good period for some actions. No time is completely bad for anything, there is a reason in everything happens.

The key is the reversed direction of movement: take any known Mercurian action, reverse its flow, consider the keywords "re-doing something", "double-checking", "finish the old projects" and there you are, you've found the good side of Mercury retrograde.

For instance, you may want to read again a book you particularly liked, a subject you studied before, meet and discuss with old friends you haven't met for a long time, travel to places you've already been to before.

This is an excellent time to work on old projects that never got to be finished. So, think about the things you started and never finalized.

Next, you might wish to prevent any bad things to happen to you: so double-check your agenda, call your business partners to confirm that everything goes as planned, have everything ready before the deadline and leave some extra time for unexpected events. Make copies of your important files and documents, save your work more often.

The other solution is to go on vacation or at least slow down the pace of your projects. You will find that going slowly during the Mercury retrograde period will spare you many efforts of redoing the same action that wasn't performed right the first time.

Above all, be generous and compassionate: you are already aware about the influence of this period, but the others aren't aware of it or there may be uncontrollable events. That's why you should have more diligence with the others and give them some more time. It'll be your mental health that you'll be sparing actually.

August Message (From Augist Newsletter)

From My August 2010 Newsletter

Someone please turn down the heat, for it is getting a little hot in here. Welcome to the month of August and boy did it come quickly. Before you know it we will be snuggled up on the couch with blankets wishing it were summer all over again. With summer soon coming to a close and the Mercury Retrograde slowly creeping up on us, we need to take a clear advantage of this. In January I warned everyone that this was going to be one of the hottest summers on the record and that it has been. I also believe we will be going into an Indian summer, as my mother called it. I was actually born during an Indian summer.

An Indian summer is when the heat continues to be above 80 degree’s for a week or longer toward the end of September into October. At least that is the case with the East coast. I believe that is exactly what will happen this coming September. That is another reason we all need to get out and enjoy the heat. Winter is going to come in a little late but very hard. With Mercury about to go retro on August 20th this is another reason we need to get out there and enjoy the weather and our lives.

You may find yourself with a good bit of extra time on your hands this month. A clear sign that we all need to take advantage of this in order to get a little rest and rejuvenation. A great month to take a vacation for a week or at least for a few days. Once we come out of this retro on September 18th your going to find yourself with no time at all for rest. Things will begin to flow better in our lives with the exception that we will be very busy with sometimes too much on our plate at one time.

August is not at all a good time for most businesses, unless your in a tourist area like down at the beach. Restaurants are going to feel slower then normal as well as the auto industry. If you work on cars for a living you must take time for yourself before the retro. Come time of the retrograde you will become overwhelmed with people coming in because of car troubles. This is another thing we all should take into consideration before the retrograde. If your car needs a check up, tires, brakes or anything of the sort you should do that before the retrograde kicks in on August 20th. With mechanics being overwhelmed with work they will have an abundance of people returning with complaints their vehicle is still acting up. This goes for any fix it kind of business including computers, heating & air conditioning repair & other electronic or motorized items.

Over the next few months is a good time for us to focus on making changes to your financial situation along with changes with your career. The first part of August is a great time for both of these. Get your resume together, enroll into classes or even go back to school. This retrograde does give us the opportunity to clean up some of the clutter in our lives. A time for us to close some doors forever so that when the retrograde closes we may then look forward to new doors of opportunity opening for us. There is a better & brighter future ahead if you focus, project positive energy, positive thoughts and accept the change in your life.

Opportunity is not going to come knocking on our doors. Not unless you have projected this energy out into the universe. You can manifest positive things in your life just by taking a few minutes out of your day to sit, close your eyes, breath deeply and relax. Once you are relaxed picture in your mind the things your would like to manifest in your life. See yourself doing the things you want and see yourself where you would like your life to be. With time and patience you to can manifest things into your life.

During the last few weeks of August we all must also be careful for it is a time in which we may be very accident prone. Drive safely and watch where your walking and what your doing in the kitchen. Always good to be on the safe side. It is also a time where police will be pulling over more people then usual for speeding & other related offenses. All together the month of August will be a fairly good month for most. There will be some losses but all in all it will be pretty good until the retrograde comes and brings along with it delays and frustration.

The other thing we can expect in late August is a large amount of rather large storms. This will continue into September. Hurricanes, tropical storms, floods and so forth will be more of an issue then in the past. So get yourself out there and soak up the sun before it is too cold to do so. Make some time to go out with your spouse or partner. It’s a great time to rekindle past issues with others. A good time to bring new love to all you single folks out there. This will be a good month in matters of love for just about everyone with the exception of those who first must close a large door related to relationships. A time to put the past behind us and look forward to a bright future.

Remember to take care of yourself and others. We do not need or want a reminder from spirit that we are not doing the right things. Until next month, be safe and tell those close to you that you love them so that you never have to live with the regret that you did not say three simple words, “I Love You.”. Remember, your deceased loved ones are only a thought away and are watching over you with a smile on their face.

With Love, Light & Desire To Inspire

June Inspirational Message - From The June Newsletter

It is almost hard to believe that were are already in the month of June. Were just about half way through 2010 and we still have many changes that need to take place in our lives in order to help us grow both physically and spiritually. Don't worry for all the help you need is right there at your side. All you have to do is reach out and ask them? Who is it that I'm referring to is your spirit guides or guardian angels. Yes you do have a spirit guide and perhaps may have more then just one. Who are they you ask? They are spiritual guardians and angels that have been chosen for us, and sometimes chosen by our own spirit, prior to coming into this lifetime.

A spirit guide does not necessarily have to look like an angel with wings, at times they could appear this way. They are there to help guide us on our journey through this lifetime and protect us when we are not meant to be harmed. Remember that everything we go through in this lifetime is all part of our spiritual growth, whether we realize it or not. Going through difficult times are meant to help us come out stronger then we did when we went in. Our guides are also there to help guide us in decisions and help us to get on the right path. Spirit will never steer us wrong into the wrong direction.

Could you imagine being a guide and being stuck with a being that never communicates with you and never listens when you try to give them direction? It would be no fun at all. This is one more reason why we should all take the time to listen to spirit and accept their guidance. It is not really hard to do. If you have a direction you trying to choice between just take a moment to relax and contemplate on the guidance you need. Take a few deep breaths, close your eyes and relax a moment before asking your spirit guides for an answer in what path you should chose. Thank your spirit guides and go about your day. The answer will just come to you when you least expect it to. Maybe while your in the shower, or driving in the car. Some of you may receive an answer right away.

The easiest way of getting you to understand when our spirit guides are speaking to us is pretty simple. We all have thoughts that just come to us out of the blue, it is a voice that sounds very much like our own self. In most cases this is your spirit guides speaking to us. The hardest thing to determine for some is whether or not it is their spirit guides or just their own thinking. You have to trust yourself and your own intuitive abilities and just allow spirit to direct you. Without a doubt your guides are there and they have a lot to say. Meditation on a daily basis will help us come even more in tune with our guides and more easily understand the direction spirit gives.

Now is about the best time ever to take some time for yourself and utilize that time to get more in touch with your own spirit and help all of us to grow spiritually. We are going through a big energy twist that you may all be feeling around you lately. This is a world effect that will bring a complete shift to the universe. It is up to us and important for us to connect with spirit and the earth during this shift. Over the next few months as this shift takes place we are all going to see some major events taking place around the world that will not be so pleasant. I talked about many of them in my predictions. Try your best not to allow these occurrences to effect you even though it may be hard to ignore.

June is a great time for us to take a little extra time for ourselves and to spend with family and loved ones. July will bring less time and a time where you will see many people receiving wake-up calls about their health. Spirit is trying to tell us not only to take good care of the planet but also to take care of our own body. If not, then there will be a price to pay. This is another reason you will begin to see weather like you have never seen before. Storms upon storms of rage ripping through areas unexpectedly. Mother earth is very upset and it is time for a big spiritual shift that will continue for the next few years. This does not take from the opportunity and doors that will open in our lives. Time for relaxation will lead to a time of being overwhelmed with good things come the fall months.

Many are struggling during this shift and we must have faith and know that things will get better. Ask spirit what the lesson is that you are suppose to learn from your experiences so that you can move forward. There is still some clutter surrounding us in our lives that we need to clean up so that we can make room for the new. Don't be afraid of change for no matter how difficult change may be we will still look back and smile with happiness as to where those changes have actually brought us. It is a good place that you are heading after getting through the summer mess. This is what makes June a good time to spend taking it easy and being surrounded by those that you love. Use July as the month to finish clearing the clutter so that come fall the doors of opportunity open more.

As for matters of the heart and love. June would be a good month to go out on a date with someone new. If you already have love in your life then June is a good time to spend extra time with your love. Plan a getaway, go out for a romantic dinner and bring a little spark back into your relationship. Do this all before July for that will be a month with less time and more frustrations. June is a time to make things right. Reconcile indifference's with a friend or family member in June. Fix up some things around the house and clean the clutter out of the closets, attic & basement. All of this will help take your mind off things and make way for new. Until the next time may you all be blessed with love & light.

James Van Praagh VS Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters seems to have a real bug up her butt when it comes to many topics lately, but especially when it comes to psychics & mediums. When it comes to the subject she is not only close minded, but completely cynical. She has made this very clear while doing the show "The View". Miss Walters not only dislikes the work of psychics & mediums, she has set out to debunk and harshly attack a few Mediums on The View.

A little over a year ago James Van Praagh, one of the worlds top Mediums, creator of the hit series "The Ghost Whisperer" & a dear friend, came onto the view for an interview.You could simply tell by the questions and the rolling of Barbara's eyes that she was not too keen on James or his work as a Medium. James Van Praagh did an audience reading and simply nailed the details for a woman when he connected to her father. The reading brought her to tears. The entire process of the interview and readings went very well for James.

What they didn't show or tell you during that episode with James would soon be discussed the following day on The View. Apparently James Van Praagh had picked up a health issue around Barbara Walters. So James pulled Barbara aside after the show to tell her that there was a big problem with her blood. Well Miss Walter was not too happy to hear that at all and she was going to make it a point to completely debunk James Van Praagh and other Mediums if at all possible.

Keep in mind that Mediums may often pick up on health issues with people. I know this from my own personal experience with literally dozens upon dozens of people who I have diagnosed. I have received letters of thanks for basically saving several clients lives and sure James has had many more experiences as such then I have experienced. When we receive this information it is important to give that information to the person in order to point this health issue out and help the person. Also keep in mind that Mediums will sometimes see issues with the energy or health that will actually take place in the future. I find myself occasionally telling someone just to be aware of the issue so it does not worsen.

So James was only telling Barbara what he saw around her and in her energy only to help Miss Barbara focus on the issue and get it taken care of. The following day after James was on The View Barbara came onto the show to tell millions of viewers what James had pulled her aside to say. Click here to see a video that I found on YouTube showing what Barbara Walters said. She was absolutely rude with very unnecessary words about James and Mediums. What did James say to Barbara? He told Barbara that she had a problem with her blood that she needed to be aware of and have checked out. Again Barbara did not at all like what James said and went on to say that it is such a horrible thing for a Medium to say to a person. It will make them worry about something they need not worry about said Barbara.

This story mad headlines after Barbara went on The View to literally bash James and all other Mediums and Psychics. This happened a little over a year ago and now Barbara Walters is eating her own words. Last week on The View Barbara Walters announced that she had a problem with a valve in her heart that was leaking blood. WHAT? Did she say blood? And Heart that pumps the blood? Well well Barbara Walters, looks like James was right again.

Barbara Walters really needs to apologize to James Van Praagh live on The View, even though we know she wont. I absolutely would not at all doubt that she knew all about this issue not long after James was on the show. She did say that she called her doctor and he said she was fine, but she never said she went to the doctor to get checked. Because there was an issue and now it is obvious beings she just made the announcement and went under a major heart surgery. Well in your face with that Miss Walters. Maybe next time she will think before she goes on national television to bash a person and their work. She would not like it if someone did that to her, now would she?

This is not the only time she has done this to a Medium. Not long after James was on The View they had another Medium on the show that I had never heard of. Here the woman Mediums husband was friends with Barbara and this is how she ended up getting on the show. The Medium was not very good at all and Barbara took advantage of this situation. The next day Barbara once again went on the air to bring down this Medium. Just think, the Mediums husband is suppose to be a friend of Barbara. So she did this to her own friend. Not very nice of her. Why does she always wait till the next day to go after the Mediums? Doesn't she have the nerve to say it when they are there to defend themselves? No, of course not. Maybe one day she will come to terms with the fact that there are many of us in this world that are gifted with the ability to communicate with the deceased and see future events. We have been around for thousands of years and gifted people will continue to come into this world.
Many Blessings
