Greetings FSIM Members & Friends, |
|
| |
As
we prepare to shift into higher gear for the active Fire energy of
Summer, it's important to remember how we'll cool ourselves down to
avoid burn-out. |
|
| |
In
January, Cyndi Dale got us off on the right "wing" for the Year of the
Dragon, reminding us of the importance of care for the care-giver.
Whatever care-giving we're involved in, whether for work or family, we
need to consciously take care of ourselves, so our energy stores are not
depleted. |
|
|
At our next Quarterly Meeting, we will be welcoming Porat
Hammarburg. An amazingly gifted intuitive energy worker, she will be
speaking to us about how to care for ourselves with "spa treatment for
the soul". This is especially good timing, during the busy summer season
and the Year of the Dragon. |
|
| |
We do hope you can take time to join us! |

Our Cosmic Cousins and Times of Change |
|
| |
We live in a cosmic sea of stars, and planets, within a solar system, a galaxy, and an ever-expanding universe. |
|
| |
On
a personality level, we may sometimes feel isolated and alone in our
individual lives, but in truth we are surrounded by a cosmic family
beyond our conception! And we Earthans have cosmic cousins in our very
own solar system who come to visit, sometimes daily, sometimes
occasionally. One of our closest relatives is the Sun, which likes us so
much it comes to visit every day! We call the Sun a planet, but it
really is a fiery star that provides the energy for life on Earth, for
which we are all grateful! |
|
| |
And
there is the beautiful Moon, which visits us almost every night, every
month – except when it rests at the new moon, the days that were called
the dark of the moon. The Moon is Earth's only satellite but a
fascinating one, especially when we gaze entranced at a Full Moon, or
look for the moon's enticing silver sliver as the new moon reappears
faithfully after its short monthly vacation. |
|
| |
Other
planets are close cousins whose names are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn,
and Jupiter. We can see them on cloudless nights, and then there are
those mysterious outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto who are
distant cousins, living so far away we rarely can even see these cousins
– they communicate to us through their powerful influences and their
predictable desire to bring change, if not chaos, to speed us forward on
the cosmic plan of evolution. |
|
| |
But
at this time, our close cousin, Venus, has been making some news for
herself. Venus is often our brilliant evening star, and occasionally our
early-rising relative who becomes the morning star. Venus always brings
lovely cosmic gifts to her Earthan cousins – the power of love,
friendship, beauty, culture, music, the arts, money, the influence of
refinement urging us to seek peace, healing, forgiveness and to become
our true nature of human and divine. |
|
| |
Currently
our Venus cousin has been on a cosmic trip, deciding to visit our Sun.
This journey, called an eclipse to the Sun, is a rather rare visit which
usually has a long range of power and inspiration. In fact, Venus
arrived at her visit with the Sun on June 5, transiting across the face
of the Sun. Her last solar visit was eight years ago, and now this visit
in historic 2012. Venus is having such an impact that she will not
visit the Sun in this style until 2114. There probably have been
important conferences with the mighty Sun as Venus has much to say about
Earth's warring civilizations, and the need to learn new ways of
cooperation, co-working, and co-existence. The generosity of Venus to
her cousins on Earth is profound. She looks especially to women to
carry forward her gifts and to bring permanent change at this critical
time. |
|
| |
We
are in a cosmic dance, with the love and peace that Venus extends,
confronting the continuing aggression of Mars, the planet of war and
desire for materialism. Personally, I believe, and intuitively know,
that Venus and her gifts will triumph, in time. Any planet who willingly
visits our fire-ball Sun, as she has done, is a planet of strength and
courage, determined to overcome all obstacles to refine Earthans and
assure our cosmic family that we can find lasting harmony. |

 After
13 1/2 years, FSIM Member Cheryl Larson's sweet beloved Golden
Retriever named "Einstein" was put to rest. Their hearts and home are
feeling the emptiness in the absence of his unconditional love.
Einstein's kind, gentle spirit is deeply missed. Let's hope there are
swimming ponds and tennis balls in doggy heaven.
