| I have
been a teacher for 20 years. I have had many
teachers. Each of them has helped and encouraged
me on my path. I am grateful for all of them. They
have offered help during my quest for my authentic
voice as a teacher and counselor. Without them,
I am sure the spark for my spiritual path would
have been dampened. They have offered me continued
inspiration to keep on my path and devote myself
to service and love. |
| Looking
through this Newsletter you will notice that I have
included a flyer advertising an astrological program
with Steven Forrest. I met Steven last year
at the Blue Sky Ranch. Steven's work is profound
and deeply compassionate. |
| Astrology,
as some of you know, is a complex as well
as a simple art. Its roots are derived from
nature and its elements. Its foundation is also
embued with ancient mathematical laws and principles. |
| An astrological
chart is a representation of these simple elements
found in nature. It's purpose is to guide
an individual on their complex psychological journey
we call life. It also helps to uncover information
that can lead a person into the depths of their
soul. It takes a tremendous amount of compassion
to peer into someones astrological chart and begin
to "understand" a human beings sacred
life path. This awareness is paramount to the
work I do with my clients. At times this work is
passionate play. At other times it is tedious and
intense. That is because we are dealing with souls.
Finding meaningful work is very fundamental to our
very existence. What a great joy and gift it is
to help within a society filled with a lot of meaningless
focus. I love and enjoy my work. |

am I doing here? Do I have a Path of
Destiny? The main article of this newsletter (see
page 2) is focused on this very question. I will

life has a purpose. |

Your
Path of Destiny
The Souls Yearning for Purpose Versus Security!
When you do things from your Soul,
you feel a River moving in you, a Joy.
- Rumi
|
 |
|
| At a
very early age I realized I had a destiny. It was
a bit easier for me because I realized what seemed
to make other people feel secure (money, power,
fame), did not have the same effect on me. I resolved
then to set out and find a deeper purpose for my
life. |
| I knew
I had a choice. I also knew I didn't have the
choice of pursuing a life of security and of
"keeping up with the Jones' " because
that didn't appeal to me. Maybe that is what made
it easier for me and at the same time, harder. There
was, no going back. The good news was that
I found there were people who were living their
dreams and had a tremendous amount of joy and meaning
in their lives. Their lives were not about Security.
I set out to accomplish that for myself. This is
what I found: |
|
The Soul's Purpose Versus Security
|
| Although
many people don't believe this, it is very easy
to find a job that will pay the bills, provide a
roof over your head and give you money enough to
eat every day. It simply requires a little bit
of effort |
| First
you find a job. After a while if your heart is not
connected to it, you find that each day a little
piece of your power and your soul
is torn away. Contrary to that, there are many people
who quite naturally and easily find a vocation they
love and spend their lives in happiness. Those who
have reconciled their lives to their paycheck without
life purpose may find they live a life without meaning,
a life that lacks inspiration and creativity. They
fall victim to their secure lives. Sure, that paycheck
is secure, but at what price? There is a part of
you that is connected quite deeply to the universe
and its plan. It is your Soul. It may take some
time, effort and faith to find your
Soul's purpose but there are tools to help you navigate.
You may have to ask deeper questions, destroy old
belief systems, and rely on your intuition, but
what do you have to lose. Everyone has a
purpose. That is why you are here on the
planet. Those who have found their purpose are secure
in their purpose. Their purpose provides
meaning and in turn that provides security.
This is the main difference between those who find
security in their paycheck and those who have found
their soul's purpose. Those who have found their
purpose know that they will be supported by the
universe. They know that they are connected
to something greater. There is no greater gift than
having a life of meaning. |

The North and South Lunar
Nodes
|
|
How to find your purpose
through your Astrological Chart.
|
| There
are two positions in every chart that help you to
find your purpose in life. They are called the North
and South Lunar Nodes. I like to think of them as
your unique "Path of Destiny" or
your "Soul's Purpose." Their positions
tell a very unique story. They indicate where you
have been and where you are going. |
| The South
Node symbolically represents your past belief
systems, outworn ideas, values, needs and desires.
It is the general idea of what you have learned
as a soul. This is your past story. |
| The North
Node symbolically represents the new lessons
to be learned, the questions to be answered, and
where your Soul's purpose and direction lie.
It's position shows you where the soul is headed.
|
| Upon
navigating these positions and delving into the
symbolic meaning, anyone can have a more
grounded and foundational understanding
of what their Soul's purpose is. The Workshop in
July is centered around these two positions in your
individual chart. They will be covered in detail
and help you with your destiny. I hope to see you
there. This is powerful, life changing work. |
|
"Song of the Soul"
by Jan Spiller
|
| This
the very best Astrological Book on the Lunar Nodes.
It is clear, concise and wonderfully written. It
explains in tremendous detail about the Lunar Nodes.
If you are unable to attend the workshop then I
recommend this book as an alternative introduction
to this part of your Chart. |
|
"Begin It Now"
by Susan Hayward
|
| This
is a little book about living your life to the ultimate!!
It is a compilation of quotes and pearls of wisdom
that are filled with inspiration. Here is a quote
from the book: "We are here to experience
life. To be fulfilled, to be happy, to be joyful
in your life, this is your destiny. Take your dream
seriously - You are here to become the best you
can be. You owe it to yourself." |
|
Two
roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the
one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
