This full moon signals a shift, a lovely promise of feeling more liberated in your speech, as if a weight has been lifted. Your convictions will no longer feel like burdens; instead, they will flow naturally, allowing you to engage in conversations that nurture rather than harm.

———-

There exists a profound truth: true contentment stems not from societal expectations but from a life imbued with meaning, authentic relationships, and alignment between one’s values and actions. As conscious explorer’s, we want the journey of seeking personal happiness, fostering sincere connections, and creating a positive impact that inspires others to follow suit.

The pursuit of joy should focus on experiences, personal growth, and fulfillment. By reflecting on what truly brings joy—be it a serene morning routine, pursuing a passion, or spending time with loved ones—individuals can redefine their understanding of happiness.

—— “Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else … Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.” 

― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Psychic Danger Signs


Psychic Danger Signs

By Tara Sutphen CHt

I looked up at the sky and thought to myself; the line

clouds are staring at me. They were not chemtrails, they were actual

line clouds. The type my dear deceased friend Treesa used to

excitedly tell me about and read as an “I Ching” message. So I got off

the freeway and I put the “I Ching” message on my iPhone

notes to check when I got home. It was January 6th, 2025 and it

had been a calm day. Upon sitting down at home and opening

the I Ching book: My eyes popped open as I read the message:

“Danger”.

The meaning: It is careless to goad danger but critical not to

shrink from it. When dangerous conditions present themselves,

you must remain calm in the chaos. Gather your courage. Stay

Brave, Alert, and Focused.

First special message: Wait and let things reveal themselves.

Strive for clarity of mind. The way out of danger is blocked. There

will be a time of disorder, all you can do is wait…keep

persevering in high-minded conduct, and you become a living

example to your family and fellow man. Inspire others to create

order, thus you and others will be protected.

I know better than to just wave this message away! I wondered

Whoa, what is up!?” The next morning, I was getting ready to head to Pacific Palisades to

do sessions with five attorneys. We had changed our schedule the month

before because of the Franklin Fire in Malibu. And now we had another

“RFW – Red Flag Warning”. I got a text on my phone to stop forward progress

toward the residence I was going to visit. A fire had broken out in

the Palisades. Again this visual came up for me; my “inner sight”

would see a front door, swinging open and I would walk in and a

chair would be there with a printed throw over it and a lamp

which was turned on, and then as I looked deeper into the room,

it would be “only blackness”. I saw this vision a few times when I

thought of the destination, it would then fade into nothingness.

I would think, what is going on…

And yes… the house burnt down.

When do you take your psychic self seriously? I’m someone who

has always seen/heard/felt intuitively and experiences or sees

psychic symbols, which are images, signs, or even objects that

hold a specific message. I would write many of my observations or

hunches down when I first wanted to keep a track record. I still

record much of what I interpret when I’m reading for others.

I consider the “I Ching” shamanic symbolism. The I Ching, also

known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination

text used for guidance and decision-making, containing 64

hexagrams (six-line figures of yin and yang lines) and

philosophical commentaries.

I wondered who would be giving me messages in the sky? Would

Treesa be that powerful? Is it a message from God or the

Angels? Definitely, the cloud formations were a warning from

some higher powers that be.

Many of us get these messages all the time, but we put them off

as they don’t fit our schedule or mindset. I teach psychic ability,

just for times like this… many think it’s to be a psychic reader, but

it’s for everyone to open their mind to observe how we can be safe and

head in the direction that serves our lives. Safety first,

health second, success third, love fourth, and fun and games

fifth.

How do you recognize “psychic danger” signs? You could have a

dream or even a daydream. You can hear something and it’s

repeated. You can have the inner knowing, or you can feel it

deeply in your gut. Is your mind awakened to these messages?

It’s much different than just being a fearful person or worrywart.

You know when you are going toward “good energy”. And it’s

best if you do mental conditioning and exercises to begin to see

patterns or signs if you’re curious or too worried.

Many people mix up reality and illusion in psychic predictions.

And this is where people are leery of learning simple techniques.

The reality is as humans we are traveling on planet Earth which is

jettisoning approximately 65,000 mph through space. As a

species, we are all afraid of change. Gravity keeps us rooted on the planet,

it is the reason we age… maybe it’s a blessing that it is much slower than it could be. Our senses are dimmed.

Therefore our antenna isn’t as sharp as it could be. We have to

study things, our natural radiance is squashed due to the gravity

pull. As souls, we don’t remember where we came from or where

we’ll go when we die. It could be a dilemma, but it really isn’t. So

many people clip-clop through life without care for themselves

or others and still make it to a departure date. But wouldn’t it be

nicer if we individually released some of that gravity weighing us

down and began an easier path of a good-to-great destiny?

Tuning into our “tingler-senses”.

I had near-death experiences and I had to manage what I was

seeing, hearing, and feeling. I found hypnosis and wrangled it in…

I was a wide-open vessel and found that largely others need to

practice opening their senses once again. Usually, people who

are worrying a lot are empathetic but don’t know where it comes from… could be a person next to you on the street, in a store, family, or friends.

A few years ago, I heard a woman at my barn say “I’m going to

die if I try to ride my horse bareback” and at the time, why did I

have to hear that…I could’ve come an hour earlier? But then, I

heard her say “die” again and then again. And I knew, I was the

one who had to do something. So when she got on her horse, I

held him at the reins on the off side. Thankfully, as the near side

was a big wooden mounting platform I would’ve been

thrown into it. In seconds, I was in the chest of this horse as it

was rearing. The horse was stumbling backwards, me still

attached of course and the owner thrown to the ground. The

horse was going to fall on this woman, so I yanked him in the air

to fall the opposite way. The woman didn’t even notice she was

in danger.

My horses are lambs. But I work with them almost every day and

if not me, my horse nanny Kelly. I do horse therapy too. And all

the horses I’ve used in horse therapy have really liked it. When I

would show up, they would all beg to be chosen to work with me

and the client. I’m naturally inclined to “Horse Healers”.

But let’s face it, we find ourselves in dilemmas each and every

day. Driving. Crossing the street. Tripping over our own feet.

So what incredible skill would you like to learn first? Tuning

into your past, present, and/or future?

Clairvoyant – Clear sight and visions through their mind.

Clairsentient – Clear feeling and tuning in to feel your feelings.

Clairaudient – Clear hearing and audible messages from their

higher self, your higher self, their spirit guides, or angels.

Claircognizant – Clear knowing – gut feelings and inner and

outer knowing. Listen to yourself and others as they give the greatest clue on

where you need to start developing instincts. Remarks such

as “I hear ya”, “yes, I see”, “I know” “ya know”, or “I feel for

you” — Identifying in some way gives you clues on what is

your and others’ strongest Clair.

And if you are getting bad thoughts or feelings. What might it

mean? And if you are worrying raise your vibration and you

can say some prayers. And this is the bottom line: Using your

psychic ability is to gain clear and practical advice, not create

instability or chaos. It is to stabilize your heart and mind.

Helping you make the right choice and not a wrong turn. It’s

all about you and becoming your best self, your healthy you.

Spring Equinox

Spring Equinox, Ostara, Eostre, Easter, Vernal Equinox

By Tara Sutphen

Spring Equinox is March 20, 2025 and marks the mid-point of the Waxing Year, the nights and days are balanced once again; the time when Kore, (Persephone) was believed to have returned from the Underworld where she had ruled throughout the Winter. The spark of light, born at Winter Solstice has reached maturity, and from here onwards, the days progressively grow longer than the nights.

Western culture proclaims this the first day of Spring. Older traditions called the Spring Equinox, Ostara; the time of the festivals of the Grecian Goddess, Eostre, and the Germanic Ostara, both fertility Goddesses of Dawn. These influenced the naming of the modern-day Easter Holiday. New greenery bursts forth from sleeping seeds in the countryside, as metaphorically, pagans also plant their own seeds for future goals, future projects and growth at this time. Decorated eggs, being symbols of fertility are symbolic of Ostara.

In days gone, Europeans gave gifts of decorated eggs to new brides, in the hope that they would bear many children. Similarly, bowls filled with eggs were given to farm workers by the farmer’s wife, to ensure a rich harvest. Most all cultures see the egg as a symbol of Life; the actual home of the Soul. In Russia, decorated eggs are still given as gifts to loved ones and buried in graves to ensure rebirth. The women gathered the eggs only from hens which were around a rooster and decorated them, allowing no one to watch them work as they transferred the goodness of the household to the designs on the eggs, thus keeping evil away. Dyes were mixed to secret family recipes and special blessings placed on each egg.


Colors of Ostara Eggs:

White:

Purity

Yellow:

Wisdom, a successful Harvest, or Spirituality

Green:

Spring, rebirth, wealth, youth, growth, happiness

Blue:

Good health, clear skies

Orange:

Power endurance, ambition, courage

Red:

Happiness, hope, passion, nobility, bravery, enthusiasm, love

Brown:

Enrichment, good harvest, happiness

Purple:

Faith, trust, power

Pink:

Success, friendship, love

Black:

Remembrance

Lore:

The custom of eating Hot Cross Buns also has pagan origins. The Saxons ate buns that were marked with a cross in honor of Eostre; Ancient Greeks consumed these types of buns in their celebrations of Artemis, Goddess of the hunt, and the Egyptians ate a similar cake in their worship of the Goddess Isis.

There are conflicting ideas as to what the cross symbol represents. One suggestion is that it is a Christianisation of horn symbols that were stamped on cakes to represent an ox, which used to be sacrificed at the time of the Spring Equinox. Another theory relates to

Moon worship; the bun representing the full Moon, and the cross, its four quarters. Christianity gave new meanings to the symbolism of the buns, saying the cross represented the Crucifixion Cross. Thus, superstitions arose crediting these buns as being charms against evil, so after Good Friday, people would save one or two of them to hang in their homes as amulets. During the festival season and indeed, for a long time afterwards, fishermen would carry these Easter buns in their boats, for protection.

The Spring Equinox defines the season where Spring reaches it’s peak, with the powers of light increasing. The God of Light, (Llew), now gains victory over his twin, the God of Darkness. Llew was reborn at the Winter Solstice and is now old and strong enough to vanquish his rival twin and mate with his Mother Goddess. The great Mother Goddess, who returned to her Virgin aspect at Imbolc, welcomes the young Sun God’s attentions and conceives a child. The child will be born nine months from now, at the next Winter Solstice, when the cycle closes, only to begin anew.

The Easter Bunny is another symbol which has obvious links to fertility, rebirth, and the abundance of life which is evident in Spring.

Eostre was a playful Goddess whose reign over the earth began in Spring when the Sun King journeyed across the sky in his chariot, bringing the end of Winter. Eostre came down to Earth then, appearing as a beautiful maiden with a basket of bright colorful eggs. Eostre’s magical companion was a rabbit who accompanied her as she brought new life to dying plants and flowers by hiding the eggs in the fields.

ps. Happy Fall Equinox to the Southern Hemisphere –

Imbolc 2025

Happy Imbolc Blessings ~ by Tara Sutphen

Imbolc “IM-bulk” is a pagan holiday with many names. One of the Sabbats, it is an ancient festival generally celebrated on January 31, February 1, or February 2. It is also known as Candlemas, Brighid (“breed/bride”), and Oimelc (“EE-mulk”) which means ewe’s milk. It is the time of year halfway between December 21, the Winter Solstice (Yule), and March 21, the spring Equinox (Ostara). Imbolc is in the middle of winter but is the optimism of spring. The Egyptians and the Romans also celebrated this time, as it was the earth goddess giving birth to the Sun God. The time to ready seeds for the planting of food. A time of planning weddings, love, and romance. Days are getting longer and hope is renewed. The celebration is to light candles. The night of white candles turns the darkness into light.

The Full Hunter’s Moon (Native American) at 24* Aries culminating October 17, 2024 4:27AM pacific/ 7:27AM eastern. (Farmers Almanac)  

The nights are getting darker now. Rest and Rejuvenate, Dream and Create, Plan and Recharge. This Moon is assertive to aggressive in its urgency for change. Move toward recharging your career goals. You are to settle into making money and creating wellness and harmony for yourself and your family. You are to make improvements in your life. You are not being “asked.” The universe is apparent in its message. Aries is about movement toward a goal. Not thinking about it or even having a sentiment attached to making a decision, it’s clear, dust yourself off and be fresh, be strong, be forthright, and be as clear as you can be. Just leave behind some of the things that are no longer working out for you. Wellness is a key message now. Gain your strength for the winter. 

Move toward advancement. Sit with your eyes closed and take a couple deep breaths, remove all pressure, heaviness and worries away.

—We’re to work on creating our personal power this Full Moon Month. All Dreams are born in the dark as our days of light are limited, allow plans and goals to be developed. We can fail many times, but we’ll find what we are looking for eventually. If it’s people, places or things, we are to remain hopeful, polite and adventurous. It’s our birthright to survive and thrive in this world and allows us to become the very best we can be.

—“Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing towards what will be.”

Autumn Equinox

Fall Equinox – Mabon
By Tara Sutphen 

Autumn Equinox, 2nd Harvest, September 20/21/22 September 22, 2024 (Almanac) Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea’n Fo’mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. 

Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time.

Various other names for this Lesser Wiccan Sabbat are The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Equinozio di Autunno (Strega), Alben Elfed (Caledonii), or Cornucopia. 

The Teutonic name, Winter Finding, spans a period of time from the Sabbat to Oct. 15th, Winter’s Night, which is the Norse New Year. At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting. It is the drawing to and of family as we prepare for the winding down of the year at Samhain. It is a time to finish old business as we ready for a period of rest, relaxation, and reflection.

Full Sturgeon Super Moon

Full Sturgeon Super Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Sturgeon Moon (Native American) at 27* Aquarius will culminate, on August 19, 2024, 11:28 AM PST/2:28 PM EST (Farmers Almanac). A super moon is only 8% bigger than normal, but when it first appears on the skyline you can see the illusion of how huge it appears!

This Full Sturgeon Moon is about being Unique. When you were a child, who did you think you wanted to be when you grew up? What profession did you want to have? Does your life look anything like you thought it would look? If it doesn’t, how would you want it to change?

Practicing an inner dialog with your younger self, allows you to progress into who you would like to become. It’s not about what happened in the past, it’s only about concentrating on the future. It’s about jumping from your childhood to a new starting point. A fresh standpoint is where you begin believing in yourself and your dreams. Visions of a potential you. You always have enough time to begin a changed aspect of yourself. Or to reach a cherished goal on your bucket list.

Reacting positively toward yourself, allows you to create situations of trust and calmness. People seldom gather their thoughts and wits in disappointment. Allow yourself to stop to listen and learn. If you have to dig deep, then start digging. Allow yourself to start dreaming of the real you. 

If we are not able to cope with daily life, we must change. You are not living an authentic life yet. We are supposed to live the life of our dreams. Let’s reprogram our minds with positive reinforcement. Learn with hypnosis, or pure willpower and make some headway. Don’t procrastinate. It’s never too late, we are to create our futures every second of our lives…

To Become Conscious:

  • Empathy: A sign of emotional intelligence is knowing how you are feeling… and being aware of how others are feeling. Everyone feels differently.
  • Adaptability: Learning to react appropriately.
  • Confidence: Being aware of your shortcomings and still acting in faith.
  • Mindfulness: Becoming aware of the Present. You have this time on the planet to be in the “NOW”. 
  • Patience: Allowing time to be your ally.
  • Kindness: No-one is perfect. Everyone needs a boost.

Steps to Making Dreams A Reality:

  • Focus
  • Intention
  • Set Goals
  • Be Inspired
  • Practice Thankfulness
  • Surround yourself with positive people
  • Inner Calmness
  • Outer Directness
  • Visualize
  • Honest Affirmations
  • Power of Your Thoughts
  • Power of Your Words
  • Power of Your Actions

_____ It’s important to set ourselves in a direction for success. The key to flourishing is honest reflection. Becoming

self-aware and waking up to our hopes allows us to focus on goals, strengths, and, positive ambition. Life is about enjoying the process of our motivation and aiming to better ourselves every day while enjoying the journey.

—-“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth—and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up—that we will begin to live each day to the fullest as if it was the only one we had.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Meditate today into a deeper consciousness of your inner spirit that needs to be acknowledged.  You don’t have to disengage find your greater self. You need only to create the opportunity to go deeper into your central being. As you go deeper and more profoundly within. You become aware of your molecules and atoms and how they are starting to change, They are becoming filled with the God-light. Find yourself going into the Universal flow.  Connect to your outer aura and the atmosphere begins to thicken. As it becomes more concentrated, your aura starts to shine. It is the God-light penetration of your spirit. As you stay in this state of thoughtfulness for a few moments.  Deep within the portals of future pathways begin to open. These light trails are your soul-intentions. You are connected to all unconditional love. You now are in sync with the direction of your goals. 


The earth again is transformed into your playground. You are feeling as though you are being revived. You will not back out of the portal, you will go easily into this state of being when you sleep and in your awakened dreaming. Your energetic pull takes you further into your smooth future. Onward prosperity will come easily on earth. You are to live in wholesome wellness. Such wholesome wisdom. Such wholesome abundance. Money and Safety come easily. As you change your vibration to a thickening effervescence, you are allowing the attraction factor to be turned on more and more. You will expect miracles, good changes, amazing people, and fortuitous events to appear. Be in the Now. We Ask it, Beseech It, Mark it, and So it is…

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice, Midsummer, Litha

By Tara Sutphen

21st June

“In the world’s audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight” – Rabindranath Tagore (Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861-1941)

Summer Solstice marks the end of the waxing year. And the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines. June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, as winter begins in the southern hemisphere. On this day, the earth’s “circle of luminescence” will be from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, as there will be 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole.

All over the world people honor this day as an important reminder of the apex of light and to cast away evil and their problems. Northern Hemisphere inhabitants use June 21 as the day of celebration, but the splendor of light lasts from new moon to full moon.

Worshipping the Sun’s great power, all cultures celebrate in some way. Celts and Slavs dance around bonfires while Chinese marked the day honoring Li, the Goddess of Light. The celebrants of modern and ancient ceremonies tune in that life comes from the sun. It is life giving and life supporting. We’ve recently had the good fortune to have electricity, greenhouses, and shipment suppliers. How will you celebrate? We all may not get a chance to dance around the bonfire but it’s a time to bask in the light, sit in the sun, cast our worries away and awaken to our lives.
