Whether you are asking for a live reading, or an e-mail reading, there is always a concern about what questions to ask. The only questions that your reader cannot address are those that fall under the category of medical, legal, or financial. The answers to these questions are best left to professionals in these fields. Any and all other questions can and will be addressed. Remember – this is your reading!

Before you call (or send in your e-mail questions), sit down and think about the areas of your life that you (a) want to shed some light on, (b) are looking for clarity in, and/or (3) would like to have some tools that you can use to do your own work.

You may be looking into multiple areas of your life. Break your questions down into areas of life (i.e. home, relationship, friendship, finances, career, spirituality), and write down all of the questions that you have in each category. Prioritize your questions, so that if you do run out of time, you have the questions that mean more to you answered.

Write all of your questions dow, so that you will not forget them. Once you and your reader begin the reading, you have the option of allowing them to do a general reading, or you can ask them to focus on specific questions. If you do not understand what they are telling you, ask them for clarification. Remember at all times that this is your reading!

You can ask your reader for the best way to deal with a situation, and you can ask them which tools they would suggest. By tools, I am referring not only to Tarot, Astrology, Runes, the I Ching and other tools of divination, but tools such as prayer, affirmations, meditation, visualization, dream analysis, and goal setting. There is a wealth of information at the fingertips of your reader, and they are very happy to be a ble to share it with you.

The purpose of your call or e-mail reading is to have your questions answered, and to empower yourself so that you can make the changes that you need to make in your life.

There are undoubtedly many times when you feel as if there are just not enough hours in the day. Too many responsibilities, not enough time. At the end of the day, you feel as if you have accomplished nothing, and all you have to look forward to it another day of the same. There are things that you can do to stop this cycle, and take your life back.

The first thing is to change your attitude to one of gratitude. You may think that you have nothing to give thanks for – but we all do. When you get up in the morning, the first thing that you want to do is to give thanks. The thanks could be a simple thanks for your ability to earn a living, for the roof over your head, or for the food on your table. It could be for the new friend that you just met, or the coworker that helped you finish a project. It could be for the beauty of the colorful flowers in your yard – it could be for anything, and for everything. The simple things are the things that we need to remember to give thanks for – on a daily basis.

Make it a point each day to stay focused in the present. If you are locked in crowded traffic, then you are locked in crowded traffic. Stay in the present, and notice the things that are around you. Note the weather, note the buildings that you are in. Note the people that you deal with on a daily basis. Do not take them for granted. Smile, and ask them how they are doing. You will bring sunshine into their day, and you will create a corresponding high note in your own day.

At the end of your day, go over everything that has happened – and release it. Tomorrow is a new day, with new people, and new situations – live the integrity and importance of each moment. Give thanks for the things that you ave done on this day that served you well. Then give thanks for those things that did not serve you well – for they taught you important lessons.

At the end of your day, do two things: set out your cloths for the next day, along with any papers or anything else that you need to take with you to work or school. Make a list of tasks that you need to address the next day – and prioritize them. Place that list with the things that you will be taking to the office, or to school. Refer to this list during your day, and mark off your tasks as you accomplish them.

You are now well on your way to getting more out of each day – and to becoming a much happier person. Remember – our readers are here 24/7 to help you in any way that they can. They are here to share the tools of empowerment that they work with, and that will work for you too.

We are moving rather swiftly into the year 2008 … a year of endings and new beginnings. It is also a year where the decisions and actions of individuals take precedence over those of large corporations and governments. It is a year when we need to look for our opportunities, and act on them.

For those who make New Year’s resolutions, with the best of intentions, this is more than likely the time when these resolutions have been left behind … another year in which the process did not do what it was supposed to do.

New Year’s resolutions are based on the areas of our life that we identify as needing change. This is fine, as far as it goes, but we seldom develop action plans that will support us in releasing that which no longer serves us, and manifesting that which does.

What we need to do is to develop a vision of what our life will be like when the areas that we identify as needing change experience that change. We need to be able to feel the emotions that change will bring to us … we need to focus on them, and identify with them.

Dream the big dreams. Take action on your big dreams. Manifest your big dreams … and then dream bigger dreams! Ask yourself the following questions:

• In what areas of my life am I not happy?
• What needs to change to make me happy? (Be very specific here, so that you know what to work on.)
• What, or who, is holding me back from making these changes?
• How will I feel once these changes have been made?

Now you have the beginning of your life vision. Make a list of the areas of your life that you want to see change in. Under each major category, list the changes that you need to see to be happy.  Under each change, list a series of small steps that you can take to manifest that change.

You can make your world a very big world if you allow yourself to dream the big dreams, Our readers are here 24/7 to assist you in this process.

We are in the midst of the winter blah’s. Bad weather, power outages, and the inability to get out of the house to do anything tends to put a damper on any positive thoughts. It is very easy to start feeling sluggish, and to have that sluggishness move into depression. What can we do to circumvent this?

The first thing that we can do is to keep n touch with ourselves. Stay tuned into the present … pay attention to what is around you now, rather than to what happened in the past, or to what might happen in the future. Keep your thoughts positive, and look for things to be thankful for. Snow may make for difficult driving, but take the time to enjoy the beauty that it gifts us with. Walking in the quiet atmosphere that snow gifts us with brings us a sense of peace, and gives us a new perspective in life. This is a great time to create memory days. Take your camera with you … who knows what you will run into!

Staying indoors has its own possibilities. Take up a craft, try your hand at baking, cook up some wonderful new stew or soup recipes, watch old movies (or perhaps some new ones!), or take out your favorite book to read. The possibilities are limited only by your own imagination!

Another thought is to do a personal makeover. Make an appointment to have your hair styled and colored, have your nails done, and then have a makeup consultation, so you can get some fresh ideas on what is out there, and what will work for you. Shop around … none of these ventures need to be all that expensive, and will lift your spirits tremendously!

Something else to consider … move the furniture around! It costs nothing, gets the energy moving, and gives you an instant feeling of having accomplished something!

Whatever you do … don’t allow yourself to sit around, unmotivated, doing nothing. Take charge of your life!

Remember … our readers are here 24/7, to help you find ways to move your life in a positive direction!

February 14th is Valentine’s Day … a day filled with chocolates, flowers, beautiful cards, dinner for two … what more could one ask for! A little less stress, perhaps? Valentine’s Day is all about Love and Romance, with a capitol “L” and a capitol “R”! It is also about our expectations … expectations that we have about ourselves, and about the significant other in our life.

Emotions run rampant on this day … the ads are out there to “Remember to buy her flowers!”, to “Give her the best chocolates in the world!”, to “Make reservations for a (very expensive!) dinner for two!” and, on your way to pick her up, “Stop by the snazziest jewelers around and pick her up a significant trinket!” No pressure here, eh!

There is a different kind of pressure in relationships that are just starting … or are just about to start. “Will he bring me flowers?” “Will he bring me candy?” “Will he take me out to dinner?” And the ultimate “Will he even show up!”

What can we do to make Valentine’s Day less stressful, more joyful, and a true celebration of the love that we have for one another? Stop, take a deep breath, and remember that Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love. Candy is nice. Flowers are nice. Dinner is nice. A small gift is nice. But this is really the commercial aspect of life. Where is the love?

One way of defining love is that you care enough for someone to put their needs before your own. How this reflects on Valentine’s Day is that you are looking for ways to show the other person how much they mean to you, rather than stressing out about what they are going to do, or not do, for you. So whether it is dinner reservations at their favorite restaurant, or a special dinner for two at home, the focus is on the preference of the other person. If you are giving them a gift … whether it be candy, flowers, jewelry, or something else that they would appreciate, make sure that it is just that … something that they will appreciate!

A walk in a park, or along an ocean shore, means more than any fancy plans that you could come up with. If you can, revisit the place where you met, or where you had your first date. Have the same meal that you had then. Make your partner feel treasured, and they will do the same for you!

If there is no “significant other” in your life, then make the choice to be good to yourself. Treat yourself as you would have another person treat you. Honor yourself … do whatever gives you your greatest joy … which may mean nachos and a good movie watched at home!

However you choose to celebrate this very special day, show your love with an open heart. Release any expectations, and you will find that what comes to you is much greater than anything that you have ever dreamt of!

Universal Year Number
The Universal Year Number for 2008 is 10/1 (2+0+0+8=10, 1+0=1). What does that mean for you? The Universal Year Number is the energy of the year for everyone, an overall, generic energy. It indicates the trends and circumstances that everyone will experience within a given year. Years go in nine year cycles, with a 10/1 year indicating the beginning of another cycle. The vibrational energy of a 10/1 year is that of new beginnings, fresh starts, and new directions. It is a time of planting seeds for things to come,

• Number 1 Universal Year - Look at the changes being made on a universal level. What is going on in your community? What restructuring is being done? What risks are being addressed?  
• Number 2 Universal Year - Things that were instituted within the community the previous year are now growing and expanding.
• Number 3 Universal Year - This is a year of ups and downs, and a time to keep your sense of humor over the affairs of your community!
• Number 4 Universal Year - This is a year of community harmony and peace. Keep the lines of communication open.
• Number 5 Universal Year - This is a very busy year, a year in which the community as a whole will need to stay grounded.
• Number 6 Universal Year - This is a time when your community will be finding itself as far as finances and vision goes.
• Number 7 Universal Year - This is a time of setting boundaries within the community.
• Number 8 Universal Year - This is a year when the community needs to allow itself to be ambitious and follow its goals.
• Number 9 Universal Year  - This is a year of completion for your community. It is also a year in which it may find a new “face”, or identity.

Personal Years Number
To get an accurate picture of any particular year for you as an individual, you need to take into consideration the vibrational energy of the Universal year (the numbers for any year added together until they reach a single digit), and then add the virbational energy of your personal year (your birth month, birth day, and the numbers of the year in question all added together until they reach a single digit).  Your personal years mark the building blocks of your progress through life.

• Number 1 Personal Year - This is a year of major changes, and setting new goals. It is a time for planning, and for taking action. As the beginning of a nine year cycle, this is a year in which you need to reach deeply into your creative self for bold new ideas. This is a year in which you allow your confidence to soar. Do not allow yourself to become distracted. The first couple of months in this year will be perhaps a bit chaotic, because you are coming out of a number nine year, which brought things to a conclusion, and in which it was necessary to release some things from your life.
• Number 2 Personal Year - Keywords for this year are protect and nurture. Keep close track of the projects that you put in motion, and make sure that they set down good roots. This is a year when tings will move at a slower pace, and you need to watch your emotional reaction to your environment. This is a year for networking and forming a solid support system.
• Number 3 Personal Year - This is a year of expansion - personally and professionally. It is also a year to avoid scattering your energies. Direct your focus wisely, and don’t be afraid to access your more creative side. This can be a very good year for finances.
• Number 4 Personal Year – Be practical, and pay attention to details this year. Work on the foundations of your life, in preparation for the changes coming next year.
• Number 5 Personal Year - This is a year of changes and surprises! Major movement can be made if you are not afraid to take calculated risks this year. Recognize your opportunities, and act on them quickly.
• Number 6 Personal Year - Take note - this is a year of manifesting your goals, and of financial success. It is also a year in which attention needs to be paid to home and family. Community is also a point of focus.
• Number 7 Personal Year - This year is a time to withdraw into self. Reading, study and contemplation are the keywords for this year. It is a year for strengthening your inner self. Your focus will not be on material things this year.
• Number 8 Personal Year - This is a year when things work out for you - personally and financially. The work that you put into the first seven years of this cycle will now fully show. Follow your ambitions, as your sight at this time will be very clear!
• Number 9 Personal Year – This is a year in which you bring things to completion, and address any  unfinished business. It is a year of letting go of that which no longer serves you well. Enjoy this year, and be ready to start in a new direction next year!

Put the joy back in your holiday!
Whatever holiday you are celebrating … whether it is Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, or some other holiday, this time of year is a time for giving thanks, for renewal, and for the celebrations of life. Over the years, it has become so commercialized that finding the right gift, the best decorations, and setting the perfect table have overshadowed the true meaning (and traditions) of the holidays.

We tend to feel stress, rather than joy. There is too much to do, and not enough time (or money) to do it in. How can we realign ourselves with the joy and peace that is at the heart of the holiday season? We might start by listing the things that are truly important to us.

Life’s real priorities.
In this age of instant communications, we can become so overwhelmed with information that we lost track of the truly important things in life. Would your list look something like this?

• Home
• Family
• Friends
• Community
• Health
• Faith
• Means of Livelihood
• The Ability To Help Others

Holiday Traditions.
Traditions for this holiday season revolve around family and community. It is the small things that we do, rather than the big, expensive gifts that make a difference. This is a time for creating memories. Involve the entire family in choosing and putting up holiday decorations. Share with your children holiday memories from your youth, and family stories.

Put love into your baking and cooking. Allow (and encourage!) others to help you. Bake and cook on the basis of what you have time for, and what is important to your family. Create new traditions … things that are meaningful to you, and that blend the old and the new.

Community Outreach.
Remember that your community acts as extended family … they are the “village” that you live in. During the holiday season, take time to give back to your community. Consciously choose to do so in a manner that brings you and your family joy.  You may choose to “adopt” a family for the holidays, making sure that they know that they are cared about … that someone will make sure that they have food, and that someone does care that a gift or two is under their tree (and that they have a tree, if that is their tradition).

You may work through your church or synagogue, or you may choose to do this on your own. You may wish to donate money, which allows others to feed and cloth those who need help. You may wish to shovel the sidewalk for a neighbor, take them to see the holiday lights, or invite them over for a meal. You may wish to write a service person serving overseas, just to let them know that you care.

Conscious Living.
Choose to live this holiday in a conscious manner. Make whatever you choose to do important to you and your family. Find true meaning and joy in your traditions (and consciously leave behind those traditions that are not serving you well). You may find that in putting the joy back into your holidays, that “less is more”.

If you want someone to talk to, someone that can help you define your holiday season, our readers aer available 24/7.

Wishing you the best of holidays!

1. Acknowledge your emotions.
Holidays are a stressful time for everyone. Just about anything can trigger a stress reaction … at  home and on the job. The first thing that you want to do is acknowledge how you feel. It makes no difference whether you “should” or “shouldn’t” feel what ever emotion you are feeling … just  acknowledge it. Yes … I am frustrated. Yes … I am angry. Yes … I feel that this is your fault. Yes … there are only 24 hours in a day, and I am scheduled for 27 … and that doesn’t even include sleeping! Take a deep breath, acknowledge how you feel, release the emotion, and continue on with your day.  Eventually all of this may seem funny!

2. Do a reality check.
Do a reality check. If you won’t have the time … or the money … to do the perfect family Christmas, sit down and make a list of the things that you can do … the ones that are important to you. Accept that some of the ones that are important to you are ones that you yourself created. Go with what brings you joy, and let the rest go.

3. Watch your finances.
Make a list of everything that is going to have to be paid for … presents (including work related presents), decorations, traveling, food … the figure that you get is the figure that you get! Compare that with what you actually have to spend. Set more reasonable spending limits on the items on your list, and you will guarantee yourself less stress!

4. Plan your time.
Plan your time, so that you are not shopping during the heavy shopping hours, so that you have blocks of time for baking, cooking, wrapping presents and decorating. Expect traffic, expect delays, and go into each day with a promise to be patient.

5. No is an acceptable response!
Learn to say no when what you are being asked to do is perhaps not something that you really want to do, or when you know that you will not have the time to do it properly. This stands for home as well as work!

6. Make time for yourself.
Take short time outs so that you can give yourself back some energy. Tune into your body: are your shoulders tight? Does your stomach feel tense? Do you feel a headache coming on? Stand up, move your head, move your arms and shoulders, take a few deep breaths, and walk around a bit. Feel the tension leaving your body. Smile … life is good!
 
7. Nothing is perfect.
The gift for your boss or co-worker does not have to be perfect … it just has to have thought put into it.  The party for the neighbors does not have to be perfect … it just has to reflect who you are, and what brings you your greatest joy. The dinner does not have to be perfect … it just has to be cooked with love! 

8. Eat healthy.
The holidays are a time when we all tend to eat too much, perhaps drink too much, or perhaps not eat at all, because we are racing around doing everything for everybody! Keep fruit and veggies on hand, cook meals ahead when you know you won’t have time to cook, and pay attention to the signals that your body is giving you.

9. Recognize who your support group is.
We should all have at least a small support group in our life … people that we can talk to when it all goes down the tubes. Perhaps this is one person … a co-worker, friend, or family member. They may need someone to listen to them also … and you can end up laughing at life over a cup of coffee!

10. Depression
The holiday season can bring on depression. If you recognize this, and you cannot handle it on your own, seek professional help. See you physician, or a clergyman, or a licensed counselor of some kind. If you don’t want to talk to someone in person, there are 800 numbers where there are people that will listen to you and help you. One of these numbers is the number for Boy’s Town – 1-800-448-3000.

Make this holiday season a positive experience for everyone!

Stable, nurturing relationships are an important ingredient in every individual’s life. When we find them, we value them. Sometimes good relationships go wrong, and a good deal of the time the individuals involved are relatively clueless as to why this is happening. A good relationship that develops problems can sometimes be worse that an “okay” relationship that goes through the same level of problems. Why? Because the individuals involved in the good relationship never saw it coming!

Did we just “think” that our relationship was a good one? Were we wearing blinders? Does it have to be over? Sometimes we are wearing blinders … we see what we want to see. Sometimes the relationship really is good, but there may be certain areas that one or both parties will not talk about, and these end up being trigger points for conflict.

Your psychic reading looks at the strengths (and weaknesses) of both individuals involved. It will help you see what each party brings to relationship, and what each party needs from relationship. It will also look at any “agendas” that either party brought into the relationship. Were you looking for someone to take care of you, and your partner really wanted someone that was a little more independent? Do you want your independence, and they want children? Is there an unspoken agenda about finances and spending?

Once defined, areas of conflict can be looked at with fresh eyes, and options for resolution developed. Sometimes a good relationship gone wrong can be saved with a little effort, and sometimes you have to walk away, taking the lesson that you learned with you.

What can astrology tell you about career? Anything and everything … literally, anything and everything! Your astrological psychic reading will begin by defining the skills and abilities that you came into this lifetime with. Your reading will focus on the career fields and paths that offer you the most happiness and security.

Your astrological psychic reading will show you the challenges that you face career-wise, which gives you a huge head start in finding ways to either avoid or resolve them. You will be able to take the deep understanding of yourself that an astrological reading gives you, and apply it to manifesting your deepest, broadest dreams.

What are your work habits? Are you someone who likes to form the plans, then leave them to someone else to put into action? Are you happiest methodically putting those plans into action? Or do you prefer that someone else make the plans, put them into action, then turn the process over to you to run?

What is your communication style? Are you a one on one, in person communicator, or do you communicate by memo? Are you good at delegating, or do you like to micro-manage? Are you a hard working Capricorn who likes to get things done? Are you a Pisces who would rather dream the visions and let someone else implement them? Are you a Leo who needs to be absolutely at the center of the action at all times? Do you have the communication skills of a Gemini?

What do holidays mean to you? Are they family time? Are they time to get away from it all, to go to the mountains, to go to the beach … anywhere that is different from where you are? Do you dread the work and stress connected with making a holiday “happen”? Are holidays times when family issues resurface? What can you do to put the fun back into holidays?

Start by taking a deep breath … then take another one … then take another one! You do not have to have  “perfect” holiday, nor do you have to do all of the work. Pick out the things that are (a) important to you and your family, and (b) that you will have the time to do. Delegate activities to other people … such as having family members bring different dishes to family dinners.

Fill your holiday with things that make you happy, things that bring you joy, things that will leave you with positive, sustaining memories. Define activities that your family can do together, and that reflect the true meaning of the holiday. Go back to your roots, to your childhood … what things did your family do when you were a child that you can bring into the present?

Accept that you don’t have to do everything, and that you don’t have to be everything to everybody. You define your life, not your family, your friends, or your co-workers. Go back to the true meaning of the holiday, and focus your efforts around this.

Remember … you have the ability to take charge of your own holiday. Honor the holiday, honor yourself. Our readers are available 24/7 to help you.
