Saturn vs. Pluto

By Psychic Amelia

Saturn, the Lord of Karma, is making a 90° angle to Pluto and will be exact this Sunday, November 15, 2009. Saturn just moved into Libra on October 30 and while Saturn moves through Libra it will be in its exaltation. (This is good!) Pluto has been moving in and out of Capricorn since January 2008. Because Pluto is so much further away from the Sun than Saturn, it moves much slower through the Constellations. But now these two planets have caught up with each other in what Astrologers call a ‘square’ pattern and this Square will be exact on Sunday, November 15, 2009. Saturn will be at 1° 41’ of Libra while Pluto will be at 1° 41´ of Capricorn at exactly 9:42am EST.

So, what does all of this mean to you? Well, let’s look at what the planets represent in our lives. Both of these planets are considered Astrological heavyweights. When they come together it’s a ‘Clash of the Titans.’ Saturn is the teacher. Saturn teaches us about our personal responsibility. Pluto is about rebirth, transformation, metamorphosis. The purpose of this aspect is to prepare the ground for a great leap in consciousness. Saturn and Pluto bring two bear energies that require discipline and effort. And, if we don’t discipline ourselves, circumstances come along and do it for us (Saturn). Pluto requires seriousness and honesty and it digs into the depths until the truth is discovered.

Rules of Contact?

Hi Bloggers, Psychic Chel received an interesting question regarding contacting the other side.

Betty writes: How soon can a person communicate with a loved one who has crossed over?

How about it Psychics? Are there rules for contacting spirits? Is there a time frame by which they can be reached? What if the spirit you wish to speak to does not come through...is there a way to increase your chances of talking to them? How does a Medium do it?!

I think we need a lesson in Mediumship 101. Any takers? Readers, please jump in too and tell us your stories about contacting friends and loved ones who have crossed over.

A Wild Omen

By Believer (A CP customer!)

Do you believe in omens? In what capacity do you believe animals play a part in omens? How does one interpret them?

I was at home enjoying a leisurely Sunday morning. At one point I was lying on the couch asking God and my Spirit Guides to bring me a sign in regard to the direction I should take my life. About 2 hours had passed when all of a sudden I heard a rustling behind me in the living room. Much to my amazement there was a large hawk flying ‘inside’ the house. He looked large enough to be an Eagle but I could tell by his coloring that he was indeed a hawk.

I sat in shock and watched the hawk fly around the house. Then he flew over to the kitchen counter and dining room table where he sat for a little bit. I walked towards him and told him out loud that he would need to let me catch him in order to get him back outside since he was nowhere near a doorway. Within about 5 minutes and much to my amazement, he was on the kitchen floor, lying on his wings (his back) with his huge claws up in the air. I thought maybe he was dead but no, he was perfectly alive, breathing, blinking, just lying there.

What is Shamanism?

By Psychic Yemaya

Shamanism has become a blanket term for all nature related healing or magical works now, but when I was a child it was associated mainly with the medicine or spiritual workers of tribal life (d). As I have said before, I was raised in a normal American family...of psychics. On my maternal side were those who worked with “the craft” natural herbal medicines, spiritualism, Tarot, empathic love life workings. We were known as a family of “Wise Women” which is what my maternal Grandmother preferred to be called. Now on my Father’s side came the Cherokee Shaman energy. My Grandfather was a spirit Shaman for their tribe in Chandler, OK in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. My Grandmother was the youngest child and watched as she grew up as his most interested student, at that time that particular tribe was breaking up and flowing into the mainstream of American life, and yet she still learned many of those sacred practices and other things that she taught me as well. So to me all things “shaman” are all things Grammy!

To me it is a Native American way of life to live by the earth cycles, and a Shaman was someone who learned to speak to, and understand, nature and animals and to connect with the dead. My Grammy or my Dad would take me out in the forest to “walk silent” and “listen to the wind.” When you listen to the wind you can feel the energy of the coming weather, you are attuned to the sounds around you, and like a doctor listening to your heartbeat and lungs, you can tell the “health” of the nature you are surrounded by. We celebrated birth and death as passages into a new energy form, we tuned in to the natural path before we walked, one that would cause the least problem, or the best way to “share” the world we walked through. We honored the food that came from the earth, or came from our brethren the animals. We sang songs to the Sun and the Moon, and told stories of the wisdom of the animals we share the world with so that we too can understand and practice that wisdom. So to me, “Shamanism” is dealing with the basic foundation of all life -- Nature in the way that is the most natural and beneficial for all those sentient beings that share it, The Cherokee call it, “The Way.”
