“All things happen for My Highest Good”
Dear Friends,
All things happen for our Highest Good - even though it may not seem like it at the time. The word “Life” and the word “God” are one and the same. God created all Life and IS Life. When we say that “Life is unfolding” we can also say “God is unfolding”. You are also Life - which means that you are also an important part of God. Trust that no matter what you are going through that it’s all for your Highest Good. You may not be able to see the bigger picture and understand the ‘why’s’ of what is going on, but know andtrust in faith that it’s all working out for your Highest Good and your Spiritual Evolvement.
Every drama/trauma situation in a person’s life
always turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
I am sure that if you think about every situation you’ve been through, especially the hard ones, you can see - after the facts - that situations turned out to be a blessing to you in one way or another. And, if you are still dwelling over a situation that happened in your life and you can’t see the blessing, then it’s always a good idea to talk to someone like myself who can point out to you what those blessings are. You don’t need to stay stuck in a situation where you can’t move forward in your life. Learn, release it, become wiser, and move forward.
Life is, and always will be, in constant motion. In fact, the only thing you can always count on is that Life is always changing. These changes allow us to grow and evolve. You will never stop growing and evolving because you are, and always will be, alive. Even when you are on the other side, you will still be you, and you will still be alive - still growing, still changing, and still evolving - and on and on it goes. There is no use fighting the changes that happen in our lives. Don’t waste your time and energy dwelling on trying to keep things the same. Allow the positive spiritual energy to flow easily through your life.
Changes are happening this week for all of us - so here we go - Astro News You Can Use!
The Sun is in the service oriented sign of Virgo.
The Moon starts off being in Gemini, moves into Cancer on Monday evening and stays there until late on Wednesday night when it moves into Leo. The Moon will be in Leo until early Saturday morning when it moves into a NEW MOON position in the sign of Virgo at 10:41 am eastern daylight time.
With the Sun in Virgo and the New Moon being in Virgo, you want to check your natal chart and see which house is your Virgo house and if you have any important natal planets there, for this will be the area of your life where you can create some new beginnings for yourself.
Mercury is in Virgo until late Thursday evening when it will move into Libra.
Venus is in Virgo until Saturday morning when it will move into it’s natural sign of Libra.
Mars is already in Libra.
Saturn is in Virgo
Jupiter is retrograde in Capricorn, Uranus is retrograde in Pisces, Neptune is retrograde in Aquarius, and Pluto is retrograde in Sagittarius.
Mercury will be going retrograde again on September 24th.
Retrograde planets ask us to turn in-ward and people who are born with a lot of retrograde planets in their charts are people who seek comfort and knowledge from inside of themselves/spiritually instead of from their outward experiences and other people’s company.
There isn’t a lot of information out there about retrograde planets so I thought that this week I would put together a little outline for you about the basic meaning of each retrograde planet. Get out your natal chart and notice what retrograde planets you are learning from in this lifetime.
Retrograde Planet Information
People with a lot of retrograde planets in their chart are natural ‘late bloomers.’ The retrograde planets don’t deny the person, they just take their time bringing information to the surface. People with no retrograde planets in their charts make up their minds quickly and follow through quickly on what they decide to do.
The Sun and Moon never go into retrograde motion but all of the other planets do. Let me take this step by step and one planet at a time. I’ll try to be brief and direct with my descriptions for you.
Mercury Retrograde: These people are very psychic andcan tune inward for the information they are seeking. They have a tendency to question what others accept as truth. They are very capable of dealing with puzzling situations and finding good solutions. They talk alot to themselves (actually it’s their Spirit Guide they are talking to) and can actually receive positive information coming back. They talk to themselves, hear their Higher Self, andfollowing through creatively in ways that a person with Mercury direct can’t. This is a very creative planet to have in your chart, although you may feel too shy sometimes to talk to others for fear that they won’t understand you. Things and situations often break down around these people, but they learn from these situations and can easily fix these things when they want to. Some lazier Mercury retrograde people can talk other people into fixing things even though they are very capable themselves.
Venus Retrograde: These people have unique ideas regarding pleasure, beauty, love, and sexuality. They don’t care what other people think about what they regard as pleasurable for themselves. They can often ‘test’ their mates and have a hard time keeping a stable relationship. They can be antisocial. They often seek unconventional mates. They also have a hard time handling their finances and must learn to balance and not just expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter from others.
Retrograde Mars: These people can’t stand working a 9-5 type career. They need the freedom to work when they want and not work when they don’t want to. Their best work has to have some kind of a ’cause’ associated with it. They are great volunteers and can get people to work together for an important cause. They are often attracted to mates who are dependent, codependent, irresponsible, handicapped in some way, or not loved by others. The lesson here is that they feel this way about themselves too. As they grow to love themselves more in a positive way, they will out grow their codependency issues with others. They should avoid drugs and alcohol or they could become dependent on these too.
Retrograde Jupiter: These people often feel that ‘if it weren’t for bad luck, they wouldn’t have any luck at all.’ They can easily take advantage of opportunities that others ignore. They usually don’t give up just because things are hard for them. They take the ”road less traveled’ and like to find their own way in life - not what other people tell them to take. They seek answers from within and usually never follow after any type of man made dogma’s. They can be very abundant in new ways of doing things. The second half of their life is much easier and more abundant than the first.
Retrograde Saturn: These people nearly always have issues and distance from their natural Fathers. Usually the Father figure is too busy for them, not in their lives at all, or not supportive towards their growth in life. This is an ego-reducing kind of situation. They have self-doubts about who they are and how good of a person they truly can be. There is a subconscious fear of rejection, abandonment, and loss. Their limitations and responsibilities are usually always self-imposed. Once they figure this out, they begin to get their self-esteem back and give to themselves what their Fathers didn’t. This is usually always a karmic situation/relationship with their Father from a past lifetime to be forgiven and resolved in this lifetime. Women with retrograde Saturn in their charts often pick men who are just like their Fathers and end up either working through their situations with their mate, or having bad relationships until they learn to love themselves more. Men with Retrograde Saturn often have a hard time understanding their own man-hood because they don’t have a good male role model. This is the hardest retrograde planet to have in a person’s chart. Self-discipline doesn’t come easily to these people until they understand the karma behind their actions. Tough lessons are learned with a retrograde Saturn.
Retrograde Neptune: Very psychic right from birth, these people dream almost every night and have vivid daydreams too. They are often confused inwardly as to whether they are understood and liked by others. They persistently seek to help others, whether their help is wanted or not. They are very good caretakers but must learn to also take care of themselves. They are often taken advantaged of by others. They have a beautiful heart and are very forgiving people.
Retrograde Uranus: These people are very rebellious. They have strong instincts as to what is right and love to reform others away from the negative rules and dogma’s of the past. They are constantly proving themselves to themselves. They have a very inventive mind andcan creatively come up with inventions that can help society as a whole. They are seen as eccentric, but they don’t care, they enjoy being different, unusual, and unique. They don’t understand why people are so uptight and why they can’t all just love each other and get along as a team. Other people’s negativities can easily wear them out.
Retrograde Pluto: Nearly 1/2 of everyone in the world has Pluto retrograde in their charts. This is a very generational thing to have. These people are very unique and can bring about great change in society. Often these people find themselves doing things without understanding why they are doing them. They are what I call the “Spiritual Paramedics” and they often run to the rescue of others.
Okay, enough for this week. I hope you got out your natal chart to see what retrograde planets you have and the lessons you are working on in this lifetime. You want to keep an eye on any transiting planet that comes near your natal retrograde planets because that is a good indicator of personal change. If you don’t have a natal chart of your own, contact me and I’ll create one just for you!
~Have a great week! Michelle
August 18th - August 25th 2008
“I care about myself enough to care about others.”
Hi Friends,
We have moved our lives through the Solar eclipse of ‘releasing’ physical issues out of our lives and we survived the Lunar eclipse that asked us to ‘release’ emotional baggage off of our shoulders and out of our hearts. You do not want to keep on holding onto either physical or emotional issues that can bring you any kind of dis-ease. You have naturally faced the challenges of releasing and most of this has been done naturally for you. If you notice that some karmic issue is still hanging around, you can easily choose to let it go now. Sometimes it is better, and easier, to write your issues down on a piece of paper and then go outside and either rip up the paper into little pieces and blow them into the wind, or light that paper on fire and give these issues to Spirit to take care of for you. You will be amazed at how wonderful either of these ‘releasing’ practices will work for you. Miracles do happen when you trust, have faith, and give your issues to Spirit.
I have noticed a lot of relationship changes that people have gone through during the eclipses. Either their relationships took a turn for the better and they are getting along much better now, or they have completely come to an end. My friend Marcia and I were pondering over all of this and are thinking about writing a book called, “Soulmates or Trollmates” because we have all ‘been there, done that and got a T-shirt at one time or another in our lives.
All relationships serve an important purpose because we will all naturally attract into our lives people who are working on the very same issues that we are working on in our lives. You may not want to admit it but your worst enemies are always your best teachers. They will teach you how you don’t want to be and bring out aspects of yourself that need to be in recovery. Other people, especially those closest to you are like a mirror of yourself. They can either bring out your beauty, love, strength and talents, or they can bring out the worst in you so that you can learn from it - release it -and move on to a much better you! There is no need for you to blame yourself, or others, but instead you should bless them for the experiences you have been through with them that have helped you to grow.
Soulmate or Trollmate - everyone in your life plays an important part to help you to grow. Try to remember that ‘like attracts like’ and even if you didn’t realize the soul growth lessons you were learning, when the situations come to an end - then you will awaken and realize why that person was in your life. Some people come into your life for only a season but they are always there for an important reason. As for those folks that remain in your life over the years, you truly have to bless them because they are there to support you and lift you up so that you can truly become all that you can be in this lifetime.
Speaking of lifetimes, it amazes me that there are some people who either don’t understand, or don’t believe, in reincarnation. Let me help you to understand that your Soul lives on forever and ever and ever onto eternity. You have already lived many lifetimes and you will continue to live many, many more. No matter what you think you are going through that may seem so challenging, you don’t need to ’sweat the small stuff’ - and it is all small stuff in the scheme of things - just know that situations will improve as long as your attitude is positive and you keep telling yourself that this is just another ‘experience’ that you have somehow chosen to experience. Always try to make the most of it.
Astrologically speaking for this week, the Sun is in the sign of Leo until Friday at 2:02 pm when it will move into the more helpful and healing sign of Virgo.
The moon starts this week off being in the unconditionally loving sign of Pisces, moves into adventurous Aries on on Tuesday at 10:10 am (this is a wonderful time for new beginnings of any kind), then moves into the more secure and grounded earth sign of Taurus on Thursday at 2:38 pm where it will stay until Saturday evening at 5:48 pm and moves into Gemini.
Virgo has a lot of planets moving through this wonderful sign. Mercury, Venus, Saturn and on Friday the Sun will join in too. This is an excellent time for everyone to lend a helping hand and reach out to help heal others. Always remember that what you do for others, you also do for yourself.
Have a great week! ~ Michelle

“I AM all that I choose to become!”
Dear Friends,
I am so happy that a lot of you let me know that you went out and got yourself a copy of “Happier than God” by Neale Donald Walsch. I love the feedback that I get from my newsletters. Keep them coming!
I want to also let everyone know about another wonderful book by the same author called, “Home with God” In a Life that Never Ends. I’ve had this book by my bedside for the past few weeks and I totally adore it! Of course, all of Neale Donald Walsch’sbooks are excellent indeed! In this book, you will learn about Neale’s conversation withGod where he asks God many questions about death, dying, and the after life. As I was reading along, I could hardly put the book down, my Soul kept saying, “Yes, Yes, Yes” to everything I was reading. I love the way that Neale talks our human talk and God answers back from the wisdom that only he could ever have. Neale asks the tough, hard, and human questions and doesn’t back down until he receives a response that we all can understand andGod is so gentle with such a great sense of wisdom andhumor. His patience with us can only come from God himself.
In one part of the book, on page 115, God is talking to Neale about hope and how important hope is as the first step in our visualization process of creating in our lives what we truly desire. This was so powerful to me that I want to share this small section of the book with you.
God says: Hope is thought, made Divine.
Hope is the doorway to belief, belief is the doorway to knowing, knowing is the doorway to creation, and creation is the doorway to experience.
Experience is the doorway to expression, expression is the doorway to becoming, becoming is the activity of all Life and the only function of God.
What you hope, you will eventually believe, what you believe, you will eventually know, what you know, you will eventually create, what you create, you will eventually experience, and what you experience, you will eventually express, what you express, you will eventually become.
This is the formula for all of Life.
It is as simple as that.
Wow, oh wow, oh wow is all I can say. My Spirit Guide was jumping for joy when I read that. My Guide said to take this one step further and help people to understand that once they understand this, they will know the correct steps for visualization and tapping into The Universal Law of Attraction.
My Spirit Guide told me to tell all of you to practice saying:
I hope I AM Loved
I Believe I AM Loved
I know I AM Loved
I experience that I AM Loved
I Attract Love into my life and I AM Happy!
Of course, you can add anything you wish to attract in the area where I put the word Love. You can say, I hope I AM Successful, I hope I AM beautiful, I hope I AM strong, I hope I AM financially abundant, or however you wish to fill in the blank of: I hope I AM ________. You fill in the blank with whatever you are choosing to manifest into your life NOW. Follow the formula above. Write it all down for yourself and say those words to yourself often. God has told us that this is the formula to creation and you have the power to create anything you choose into your life as long as you have hope in your heart and stay positively focused.
Okay my dear friends…go practice, practice, practice and get back to me with your positive results.
I always love hearing from you!
Much love always ~ Your Spiritual Sister and Friend, Michelle

“I choose to be as happy as I want to be!”
Hi Friends,
It’s late on Sunday night right now, actually it’s 12:47 am Monday morning. Time sure flies when I’m passionately involved in projects that I enjoy. All in all, this should be a nice week for us all, as long as you try to enjoy each moment of your life the best that you can and plan to do sometime special for yourself at least one day, or night, this week. I find that the best way to enjoy my life is to spend at least 2 hours of my day doing something that I totally enjoy, without being disturbed by anyone else. This is hard to do, but if you can do this, you will enjoy your life so much better. For those of you lucky enough to be retired and doing what you want to do ALL of the time - God Bless You - for I am sure you must be the happiest ones of all! No one likes punching a time clock and being where ‘others’ expect you to be. But for those of you who have to work for a living - which is most of us - try to remember that your work is your life’s dedication towards others. Your job is important…no matter what you do…for no one can do your job exactly like you. Set your life’s work as a dedication to Spirit and to others that you will always do the very best job that you know how to do. You job means a great deal to those you serve and even if you don’t feel appreciated, know in your heart that you are the only one who can do your job like you can. Give yourself the credit you deserve and know in your heart that you are important.
I have a wonderful book to recommend to you this week. It’s totally excellent and I enjoyed it fully. Heart, Mind, andSoul it’s an excellent book. The book I recommend that you get your hands on right away is, “Happier than GOD” by Neale Donald Walsch.
“Happier than God?” you ask me. “How is that possible?” Well, let me tell you that I asked the same thing when I saw the title of this book. Curiosity made me pick it up andcuriosity kept me spell bound through each and every page! You will see - you will learn - that we all have the ability to be happier than God if we choose to be. But, there are techniques that you need to be aware of. This great book takes you deeper and further than any of Neale Donald Walsch’s other great books - and great they all are! This book also takes you further into understanding more about The Universal Law of Attraction and how to manifest wonderful things into your life!
In one of the chapters, I was intrigued, when I read that the word ‘Satan’ really means, “Seeing Anything As Negative!” What intrigued me most is the fact that I was personally shown this meaning about this word before I even picked up this book…before I even read this chapter! I had written this description down about the word Satan in my journal on the day that my Spirit Guide had brought it to my attention. Then low and behold, I am reading this book and there it was in black and white…the same Revelation had been given to Neale too!
I’ll say it again - the word SATAN means: Seeing Anything As Negative!
That has a lot of meaning to it indeed! Take this thought one step further and know that your ‘ego’ loves negative things and bringing negative thoughts into your mind. Next time you feel a negative thought coming on, tell your ego that you don’t choose to see anything as negative! You can make a joke out of it if you want to (why not, I always do) and say, “Back Satan…Back! Now you realize that you don’t have to be afraid of Satan or anything else. All you have to do is choose not to see anything as negative.
Okay, now I can hear some of you saying, “But Michelle…how is that possible? There are so many negative things in this world that are obviously negative. How can I not see them that way?”
Ah Ha…you will learn the answers to that in “Happier than GOD” by Neale Donald Walsch andyour life will never be the same again! If you want the Truth, the whole Truth, andnothing but the Truth…pick up your copy today!
Have a marvelous week! ~ Dr. Michelle
“I choose to renew my life with Joy!”
Hi Friends,
The them for this week’s newsletter is all about the Solar Eclipse on Friday, August 1st, at 6:12 am eastern daylight time and 3:12 am Pacific Time - so where ever you are at when you are reading this newsletter, figure out the time zone you are in and adjust accordingly.
This is going to be a very empowering Solar Eclipse which will take place in the sign of Leo. The sign Leo is ruled by the SUN, which makes this New Moon in Leo even more empowering. You are probably wondering how this eclipse is going to affect you. So, here we go…I’ll describe to you how this Solar Eclipse will be affecting - and hopefully not infecting - all of the Sun signs…here we go!
Solar Eclipse in Leo - Friday August 1st 2008
Before I begin, I want you to get a picture in your mind of what a Solar Eclipse looks like. Most of you have seen one at least once in your lifetime. The effects of a Solar Eclipse relate to your main personality - your Sun Sign - and since this one will be in the sign of Leo (ruled by the Sun) this Solar Eclipse will be even more intense.
In order for you to realize how Solar Eclipse energy flows through your life, I want you to take a moment and realize how much ‘ego’ baggage you may have picked up over the years. Ego baggage isn’t a good thing because your ego is the crabbiest side of you that nags you over and over again about the same issues. Your ego brings all kinds of inner fears to your attention and tries to make them real for you. Your ego will stop you from moving ahead in your life. All of those positive directions you’ve wanted to move towards in your life have been ‘blocked’ by a huge sign that says, “Stop - Ego Guard on Duty - Do Not Trespass!”
No longer do you need to stay behind the ego sign, nor stop on your positive journey of your life. The Solar Eclipse is going to pull out the weeds of fear that your ego has put there and tear down the ‘go no further’ signposts of your life.
Your mind works like a computer andwhen the Solar Eclipse comes around, it’s time to shut down, reboot, and defrag. On Friday, August 1st, do not start anything new. Try to spend this day meditating, relaxing, and doing as little as possible. You need and deserve to take the time you need to ‘release’ and ‘let go’ of all the negative vibrations you have chosen to pick up and other people’s negative vibrations that you need to let go of completely. You are going to need some time to do this and the more relaxation time you give to yourself, the better you will feel and the more ‘recharged’ you will be once you turn your mind back on.
Now, for each of the Sun signs, this Solar Eclipse is going to be tuning into certain parts of your life were you need to ‘reboot, defrag, and release’ negativities so that your more positive and producitive personality can shine through. I will now describe for you where each of the Sun signs will go through this important process. Remember that the Solar Eclipse will ask you to ’shut down and reboot’ these areas of your life. I will now describe the most important areas for each of the Sun signs to focus upon and allow positive changes to happen. Get your thinking caps on and enjoy the ride!
Aries: Romance, love affairs, creativity, children, ways you have fun and play.
Taurus: Your home environment, Foundation of your life, family roots, heritage
Gemini: Your communication skills, siblings, personal education, environment
Cancer: Self-values, earning abilities, possessions, finances, self-esteem
Leo: Your appearance, your personality, early childhood issues, anything related to YOU
Virgo: Spiritual values, your subconscious, mental issues, psychological issues, fears, privacy, secrecy
Libra: Groups of people you hang around, your personal hopes, dreams, and wishes
Scorpio: Your work and career choices/changes, your personal reputation in the public eye
Sagittarius: Your personal philosophies, long distance travel, legal matters, politics
Capricorn: Joint finances, sexuality, life/death, personal transformation, fears
Aquarius: Personal relationships, close friends, business associates
Pisces: Your every day tasks and how you do them, health matters
In the areas described above for each of the Sun signs, these are the areas where each of you will need to ‘reboot, release, and defrag’ the stress out of your life. It’s time to shut a negative door in these areas of your life and begin to open a new more positive one! These are the area’s of your life that have been giving you the most trouble - thus the ‘ego block’ and the very same areas where you can release those blocks and ‘renew’ yourself in much more positive ways.
Eclipses are something to look forward to, not something to dread. They bring about the exact changes we need in our lives in order to grow and more positively enjoy our lives. The next Eclipse will be a Lunar Eclipse (this is when the Moon is Full) and will take place on August 16th at 5:16 pm eastern time and 2:16 pm pacific time (again adjust for your time zone). The Moon will be Full in the sign of Aquarius and this is when we will be asked to ‘release, defrag, and reboot’ our emotions in various areas of our lives. Keep your eyes posted for future updates regarding this enlightening situation. For now, it’s time to intentionally focus and re-focus on the areas above relating to your Sun sign. Also, if you know a little bit about Astrology and you are one of the wise ones that also reads your Moon sign and Rising sign, I would advise that you also notice that whatever those signs are, you should also go through the releasing and rebooting of those issues under those signs as well. If you do not know your moon sign, or your rising sign, feel free to e-mail me at: michelle@astroenlightenment.com and I’ll let you know what those are for you.
In general, this can be a good week to look forward to. A week for you to prepare for some personal change, allow positive personal change to happen, and begin to live your life in a brand new way.
Have a great week! ~ Michelle
July 21st - July 28th edition
“I enjoy my life one minute at a time.”
Hi Friends,
There are 4 types of people who seek a closer relationship to the Divine:
The World Weary worship God to alleviate physical and mental agony, fears, and adversity.
Seekers of Happinessuse spiritual means to attain worldly things such as health, weath, family, etc.
Spiritual Seekers want knowledge and wisdom for their own spiritual advancement.
The Wise Onesalready know their Soul within and know that only the Divine exists. They want nothing else.
All four types of Seekers are noble. Any reason for turning towards God will lead you to spiritual transformation. Which type of a Seeker are you? You could possibly be a combination of all the above. Your main focus should be on bringing yourself closer to your natural ability to feel Divine Love flowing through your self and your life, being in touch with your Soul essence, and knowing that you can live a Divine Life on minute at a time.
Try not to allow the negativitiesofthis earthly world to take your focus away from who you really are. You may have forgotten what a beautiful Soul you are, but you can always calm yourself down, spend a few minutes in calm meditation, and begin to remember that you are so much more than what other people think you are and all of the material things that you own. You are special. You are unique. You are each a beautiful spark of the unconditionally loving Divine essence that created us all in the first place.
Continue being a Seeker and with each moment that brings beauty and joy into your life, realize that you wouldn’t even be able to notice the beauty in anything else - or anyone else - if you didn’t have this natural beauty inside of you too!
Everything you see, everyone you meet, every experience that you have, helps you to grow closer and closer to knowing your true inner-spirit - the unique essence of who you truly are. For better or worse - every situation in your life is a mirror reflection for you to look into and see yourself more clearly. If you like what you see - enjoy it! If you don’t like what you see - learn from it and choose to change it into something better for yourself. The main thing is to be an ‘observer’ and not an ego-absorber of what is going on around you. Balancing the two realms of humanity and Spirit is a difficult task that very few people can even begin to understand, but once you begin to see the process of your life unfold, it becomes an exciting and passionate journey indeed!
Now…onto Astro News You Can Use for this week:
The Sun moves into Leo on Tuesday at 6:55 am - stimulating all of the Sun signs and asking you to allow your courage, power, and light to shine through you. The sign of Leo is ruled by the SUN and when the Sun is shining so brightly in Leo - every Sun sign is ignited with energy and power. If you use this power wisely, you can get a lot accomplished over the next few weeks. If you find yourself becoming overly controlling, egocentric, and demanding…these emotions will lead you down the path of depression. You want to learn to ‘release and let go’ of what you can’t control and focus more positively on the situations that can enhance your life. Try to be extra patient with people during this phase of time because everyone is going through a self-empowering period of time. When you talk with people you will notice everyone wanting the conversation to focus on them. Hearing things like, “Me this and ME that” seems to be only natural at this time and if you want the conversation to be all about YOU then this can become more frustrating than usual. You may feel that everyone wants to talk about themselves and no one wants to listen to you. Be wise and understand that this is only natural at this time. People have a tendency to compare, match, and compete with others and if you are talking about a subject, “Hey, I saw a purple elephant today” only to hear the next person say, “Oh, I saw a purple elephant, a pink one, and an orange one too” don’t get upset. You are being asked to be a ‘listener’ too. Don’t let this kind of competitive talk bring you down - the fact that you saw a purple elephant is amazing in and of itself and it’s still important. That’s the main thing - validate your own feelings even if someone else doesn’t. It’s no use getting mad about the fact that you feel the other person isn’t listening to you, let alone validating your experience, just move along in life and know that your experiences are important - even if no one else seems to think so. This is an excellent time to keep a journal for yourself and write your own personal experiences down because you are going to learn a lot about yourself during this important period of time. AND most of all, try to remember, “You don’t have to compete when you are so unique!”
Along with the Sun in Leo, beautiful Venus is also in Leo. This is an excellent time to enhance your already good looks, increase your personal finances, and enjoy being around the beautiful people that you enjoy spending time with. Females may play an extra important role in your life during this time.
Starting on Saturday morning, Mercury will join the group which will either have people talking more about themselves, or for those that are on a higher spiritual realm, bring you together withotherwonderful like-minded souls! Being together with people who enjoy the same things that you do and are seeking a more spiritual life too will feel great for you. It’s certianly food for the Soul when you are surrounded by such enlightening people!
The energetic planet Mars is in the sign of Virgo asking all of us to use our energy productively. This is an excellent time for learning healing techniques and learning more about mind over matter - to use your mind in a healing way and attract more healing situations into your life. When you use your mind in a positive and productive way and clear the useless clutter out of your emotions and body - you will be amazed at how much energy you will have to work on the projects that you enjoy!
Saturn is also in the sign of Virgo which allows us to do our best, help others, nurture those that are important to us, work on projects that make an important difference in the lives of others, and attract into our life lots of good karma! “Do good…get good” is the motto of Saturn in Virgo. Focusing on loving others is important now. Here are a few suggestions to follow:
Harbor no ill will toward any living thing and return love for hate - be happy and forgiving.
Learn to be neither an agitator in nor agitate by the world and to accept the knocks of life as blessings in disguise.
Learn to be unconcerned and untroubled by life. Work on your daily tasks with joy in your heart.
Make an effort to do your best and know that your good karma will be returned to you.
The more you enjoy what you do - the happier your life will be!
Try to be humble and harmless towards others.
Be gentle and forgiving of any hurt you may receive.
Be upright and joyful in your thoughts, words, and deeds.

See yourself not as the body/mind but live your life as your true Soul.
Let your inner-light shine!
Have a great week! ~ Dr. Michelle

“I allow calm serenity and tranquility to flow through my life!”
Hi Friends,
It’s Summer time! Are we having fun yet? Don’t waste your time running around doing all of the errands, chores, and daily routines that you can do when the snow is falling…get outdoors and allow yourself to play in the sunshine! Your life is your personal adventure…make the most of it!
Right now…right this very second…you will never be younger than you are right now. Think about the earth age that you are and then think about when you were 14 years old - what would the ‘you’ now wish you could tell the ‘you’ of your youth? Seriously, stop reading this right now and ponder over this question. When you have the answer - say it out loud to yourself - and then come back and begin reading this again.
Okay, did you give some calm, cool, collected wisdom to your 14 year old self? Whatever that wisdom was, are you ‘practicing’ what you were preaching…in the NOW of your life?
Now, I want you to project yourself into the future. What do you think the 80 or 90 year old ‘you’ would say to the youthful ‘you’ that you are now? Listen up and listen good - your future self does have something wise and important to tell you. Stop reading this again and meditate upon this for a few minutes. If anything truly inspiring comes into your mind or heart…write it down! If you have a hard time tapping into the wisdom of your future self at 80 or 90, try seeing what your future self 10 years from now has to say.
We have all told ourselves, “If I knew then what I know now…how different my life would be.” Believe it or not, your futurself is always withyou, just as your more youthful self is always withyou too. Time is an illusion. Your Soul growthis the reason that you are here. Once you understandthis wisdom, you can then use it to create your Soul’s work here on Earth andshareyour wisdom with others. Everyone has different talents and everyone does things in an individually unique way. No two Souls are exactly alike and no two Souls could ever bring exactly the same experiences into this world. You are more important than you realize. Start today, this moment, right NOW and listen to what your inner-child’s insecurities are. Begin to heal that inner-child. Listen to what your future self has to say and allow that inner-wisdom to help you grow today!
Your life was not meant to be hard. Your life was not meant to be so full of trials and tribulations. We create these situations in order to learn and some people don’t seem to be paying attention and need to learn the same lessons over and over and over again. It’s time to wake up! You can choose to live your life in a much easier and more fun filled way! It’s your choice!
My Dad used to tell me over and overa again, “Michelle, why do you have to do things the hard way?” and”Don’t force anything…you’ll break it!” Well Dad, this is what we all do in order to learn to do things in an easier way. For some reason, our ego’s say that if something is too easy it can’t be worth much, but if we do things the hard way, we can prove ourselves. But prove ourselves to whom? And the even bigger question is…WHY? We do not need to prove ourselves to others and we certainly do not need to prove ourselves to ourselves. The easy thing to do is to love yourself exactly the way you already are and then make fun little improvements along the way.
Listen to your heart. What are your passions? Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but you thought you wouldn’t be good enough at it and so you gave up? Who made you give up? Who is te voice inside your head that told you that you wouldn’t be good enough? How would you know unless you tried? Come on folks…you’re not getting any younger here! Today is the day that you need to start trying and don’t think that the word ‘try’ means that it has to be hard work. Remember…do it the easy way! Take it one step at a time and remember to always honor yourself along the way. If you’re going to try anything…try to enjoy yourself as much as possible each and every moment of your life.
Yes, I know that’s almost impossible, especially when you have to deal with people who complain, expect too much from you, and seem to be impossible too. I want you to realize that when you run across people like this, ‘you’ have attracted these people into your life. Yes, it’s true, it was ‘you’ that attracted these people into your life. They seem to come into your life as physical persona’s of your already negative ego. It’s at these times that you can keep your composure, sit back, let them complain and then you can explain what they can possibly/positively do to correct whatever they are complaining about. YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOSE YOUR COOL! Not for anyone…not for any reason. Go back andre-read those two sentences again!!! Write them down and post them on your refrigerator! Post them on your desk! Keep a copy in your wallet! Post it on the mirror in your bathroom! YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOSE YOUR COOL for anyone…for any reason! No one can ‘make’ you feel anything unless you let them! And, believe me…they will try to catch you off your positive guard. But, if you keep these words imbedded in your subconscious, they will always be there when you need them most.
Everything happens for a reason and even if you don’t understand (and you don’t need to understand) what the reason is, it all boils down to your choice of staying in your sacred space within your positively creative Soul.
As you practice keeping your composure, you will begin to see that those negative types of people become less and less. They won’t be drawn to crossing your creative path. You won’t be choosing them to cross your path. Oh yes, every once in a while, you will be tested again, just to make sure that you remember the wisdom that you should be practicing and ‘watch out’ it can happen at the most unexpected of times. Don’t worry, you may lose your cool for a minute, but then you will begin to laugh and realize that “this is a test, this is just a test of the spiritual broadcasting system!”
My youthful friends…its summer time!
Let your inner-child come out to play!
Let your true healing begin today! Much love, light and happiness always, Michelle

“I attract abundance, prosperity, and success easily and so can you!”
Hi Friends,
Okay, are you ready for a Meta-physical English lesson? I love word puzzles and as a young woman in High School, my attraction to the deeper meaning of words became a crazy passion. I was a cheerleader at my High School and while we were on the Football field one day, doing a routine that everyone has heard before, shouting out the beat - “S-U-C-C-E-S-S that’s the way we spell SUCCESS” - repeating it over and over while the crowd joined in with us, I felt that there was more to this chant than the letters we were spelling. I could feel the underlining vibration and power of this simple word. Then I got to thinking about how I could explain this empowering vibration. Later on, I wrote it down and pondered over it a little while and then it came to me so easily. Hang onto this thought readers and soon you will understand too.
There are other empowering words that also have an important message, a message deeper and higher than what you think they might mean. The three important words I want to discus with you in this newsletter are: Abundance, Prosperity, and Success. Would you allow these vibrations to flow through your life easily? Do you believe that your life would be much more joyful if these vibrations were flowing through your life each and every day? I hope you said, “Yes!”
I am going to make this as easy to understand and as simple as possible so that once you finish reading this short newsletter you will go “Ah HA” - and we love those moments don’t we - “I get it NOW” - for once you ‘get it’ you will never be without it!
I want you to understand too that the word ‘it’ represents the kind of energy you desire to attract into your life. If you are happy, you have ‘it’ and if you are sad, you have ‘it’ too. What your mind and heart desires to attract my dear friends, you will attract ‘it’ into your life. So, I want you to understand that Meta-physically, you choose to attract any kind of ‘it’ vibration that you desire.
Moving along, let me start with the 3 super empowering words for this week:
Abundance = A-Bun-Dance - When you are in a mood/vibration where you feel like dancing - and the music to the Jellocommercial comes to my mind now, “Wiggle it…just a little bit!” And, you are totally in a joyful mood - you will attract abundance into your life. The more you ‘wiggle it’ with a positive attitude, the more you will attract abundance in every area of your life. So, as crazy as it may sound (and metaphysically, everything is simple, fun, enlightened, and joyful) get busy and start dancing in your life. It’s time for you to start doing your own ‘bun-dance’ today! As you are dancing, so too will others, and so too will you attract the positive opportunities into your life that you desire. Anyone who grumpily sits on the sidelines, criticizing everything, judging everyone, andconsumed with their own negativity will never get up off their duff and do A-Bun-Dance - but, you on the other hand, have the chance each and every day to do A-Bun-Dance all your own - and as you do - watch your abundance in your life grow and grow! Come on friends…get up and dance! Try it, you will see, and you can then become a teacher of this great concept of A-Bun-Dance for others! Everyone will love you andwantto join in with you! Bring love, light, andA-Bun-Dance into this world today! It starts witheach one of us. How would you like to see everyone in the whole world dointhe Bun-Dance? I know I sure would. Come on…join in with me and watch our positive oppotunities to heal this world manifest quickly!
Success = S-U-C-C-E-S-S= S (yes) U (you) CC (see, see) E (energy) S (yes) S (yes) - Are you starting to get ‘it’ now? I use a divining tool that was created by the Druids andtheyare called ‘runes’ Very powerful little stones indeed. One of these runes has an S on it that is shaped more like a backwards Z - I can’t type it here because I don’t have that kind of font, but you will have to use your imagination, or try to draw a backwards Z to know what it looks like. Anyways, this special symbol is extremely powerful and represents to me the vibration of “Yes” - so in feeling the vibration of Success, we have “Yes, you, see see, energy of Yes, Yes!” And again here we have the powerful, joyful, and magnifying energy that taps into the Universal Law of Attraction that will bring you all of the SUCCESS you desire! Being a cheerleader, I felt this energy completely and if you can recall being at a football game and the cheeleaders chanting this cheer, you will recall the vibration you felt too. Make this cheer your very own. Say this Cheer to yourself a few times each day and bring your vibration up to the “Yes” level. Soon you will begin to attract a great amount of Success into your life too. Try ‘it’…’it’ certainly works!!!
Prosperity = Pros-per-it-y - Okay, bear with me here, some of you are very wise and can look at this word, seperated like this, and know exactly what I am going to say. Some of you are wondering what other metaphysical enlightenment I am going to bring you. This one is enlightening indeed…that’s for sure. Everyone knows that the word ‘pros’ is ‘positive’ - it is a positive vibration that can also mean ‘professional’ for anyone who is truly professional about anything has to be a positive example of what they are doing and should be doing it the best that they know how. In doing your best, you should always be ‘positive’ about what you are doing and ‘positive in your attitude’ about what you are doing. Only then will you be able to be prosperous in your career and within your life.
Pros = positive
Per = masculine/action/karma/doing
It = energy
Y= Yes
I was talking to my husband, Jim, who took French in High School, what the word ‘per’ could mean because my Spirit Guide was coaching me that this word could best be explained through the French translation. He told me that ‘mon-pere’ means ‘my father’ - which to me vibrates to the father vibration of the planet Saturn - who is known to be in charge of time, karma, punishments or rewards given for bad or good actions.
In a nutshell, Prosperity is a very positive word when understood correctly. ‘It’ means, positive action/energy brings positive results! If you choose to have a positive attitude and put your positive ideas into action, you create a good karmic energy flow and then you can say, “Yes, I did ‘it’” and “Yes” to your achievements that will bring you the good karmic flow right back to you. The Law of Karma states that ‘what goes around comes around’ and ‘for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.’ Now, don’t get the second statement befuddled in your mind. I’ve had many people misunderstand this second statement and ask me, “Michelle, if for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, does that men that if I do something good then something bad is going to happen?” Yikes, NO, that is not what that means. It means that for every good action you do, whether you want it too or not, your good actions will bring good karmic results right back to you!
You want to keep the positive flow going and now that you know what these words truly mean on the metaphysical vibrational level, it’s not too difficult for you to tap into all of the abundance, success, and prosperity you desire! Get moving, it’s time to change your attitude and thus change your life. If you understand and practice the vibrational methods listed above and you allow the Universal Law of Attraction to bring this vibrational flow to you, your life will begin to change around in many miraculous ways.
It’s time to practice my dear friends…and have fun! ~ Michelle

“When I enlighten my mind - I enlighten my life.”
Hi Friends,
Welcome to the Summer Season of the year 2008!
It’s time for all of us to enlighten our minds and as we do…we will enlighten our lives! Time flies by way too fast to dwell on the negative issues that flow through our lives and test us each day. Try not to fret over these small things, they really don’t matter. The things you were upset about last month, last week, or even yesterday are OVER and you probably don’t even remember what those issues were. Looking back, all you will remember were the feelings you went through, but most of you won’t remember the issues that caused that discomfort.
Next time you find yourself about something, ask yourself, “Is this really more important than my peace of mind?” The answer you will receive should be, “No!” Okay then, it’s time to learn to walk away and find something else to do that brings you joy! Your life belongs to you and learning how to handle issues that bring you discomfort is one of the important lessons we are all here to learn. If you feel that you are being ‘forced’ into a situation that brings you discomfort - learn that ‘you’ are more important than whatever is going on and that no situation, or person, can bring you discomfort unless you allow them too. It’s time for all of us to stick up for what we believe in and set your personal boundaries accordingly.
The astrological vibrations this week are as follows:
The Sun is in the sign of Cancer - asking us all to bond more closely to our loved ones.
The Moon starts this week off in the unconditionally loving sign of Pisces and stays in Pisces until Wednesday night at 10:49 pm est. when it moves into the more adventurous sign of Aries! While in Aries, you are being given the positive vibrations to start new projects andfeel courageous about the situations going on aroundyouat this time. The Moon will be in Aries from Wednesday night through early Saturday morning at 2:50 am est. when it moves into a more solid foundation with Taurus. While in Taurus, you are being given the positive vibrations to make strong dedications and committments within your family and around your household. This is an excellent time to give those you love lots of attention, affection, and gifts. Show them they are safe andsecure because you are around them! The Moon will remain in Taurus until early Monday morning at 4:03 am when it will move into Gemini.
Mercury, the planet of communication, is now in direct motion in its exhalted sign of Gemini! Mercury loves being in the sign of Gemini and now we can expect communications to be direct, honest, open and enlightening! Good News is around us all and if you’ve been waiting to hear about something important, you just may hear about it this week. This is also an important time when people from your past could easily cross your path once again. Happy reunions are very possible.
Venus, the planet of financial opportunities, balance, justice, beauty, and love - is in the nurturing sign of Cancer and is conjuncting the Sun for us all this week! Beauty and love in balance is what this week is all about. You could also receive some unexpected good news about your finances! Hooray for Venus!
This is the last full week that Mars will be in the sign of Leo. While Mars has been in Leo, people have seemed a bit more selfish, greedy, and self-centered than normal. Mars is trying to get us all to get up off our butts and do something productive with our lives…and…lots of people have been doing that, but there are many people who have reluctantly decided that they don’t want to do that and they are still sitting there, complaining, whining, crying…hoping that life will give them everything they desire on a silver platter. So sorry…life doesn’t work like that! If you are a person who is ready to take action on good opportunities that come your way - this can be a very good week for you. If you have people around you complaining about their lives and blaming everyone else for their lack in life - now you know why. Let these people learn in their own way. Stay productive and don’t let them drain your precious energy and don’t give in and do things for them. The best thing you can do is smile, wish them well, and keep on doing wonderfully in your own life. Set your productive life as an example for them to follow and if they want to be jealous of your accomplishments…then that’s their grief to handle.
Jupiter is in the hardworking sign of Capricorn and is also in retrograde motion. Jupiter is asking everyone - especially Capricorn’s - to learn to enjoy life more. Working hard is ambitious, but make sure you take some quality time to also ’smell the roses’ and ‘count your blessings.’ Those people who have an ‘attitude of gratitude’ for everything that is going ‘right’ in their lives now…will reap many rewards once Jupiter goes back into direct motion on the morning of September 8th. “Do what you have to do, but enjoy your life…and those around you!” is Jupiter’s motto right now.
Saturn, the planet of karma, is in the health related sign of Virgo. Virgo’s energy is so soothing and healing. Virgo’s are known for their kindness and generosity. Saturn appreciates that and is blessing Virgo people abundantly. Wherever you have the sign Virgo in your chart is where Saturn is bringing you many blessings. For all the good deeds and good karma you have earned by being a healing person towards others, and doing things for others…just because you wanted to…Saturn is keeping tabs on you and will bring you the rewards you deserve!
But…Saturn also knows how to be the stern Teacher too…andforthose that have not been being kind, generous, and healing towards others, take heed…you could receive a good kick in the butt back for the things you have done and it’s during this phase of time that you will have to pay the piper and make things right again! Virgo is also the sign related to ‘health’ and Saturn wants to know if you’ve been taking good care of your own health. If so, you will feel rejuvinated, strong, and healthy! If not, it’s time to see the doctor andstartgetting yourself back on the right track once again! Remember, you can be as kind as you want towards others, but if you don’t take good care of yourself…who will? Listen to the signs that your body gives you and heal yourself as you heal others. The old saying, “Physician heal thyself!” is a good motto for Saturn in Virgo now.
The outer planets are all taking a sabbatical right now and for those of you that don’t recognize that word, let me make it a bit plainer…they seem to all be on a spiritual retreat. Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius and Pluto in Sagittarius are all retrograde right now. These outer planets are letting us know that starting this week, we should take our minds off of worldly matters and bring our attentions back into our own backyards. If we each take care of our own business first then there will be more space and time to take care of other things. To make it easier, take the time to: plant flowers, plant trees, sit back and watch the grass grow!
This Summer Season of 2008 has just begun! What are you going to do that will be a bit different? When summer is over, what good memories will you have in the scrapbook of your mind and heart?
Start this week andtakeeach day…each moment…as an opportunity to live your life with happiness in your heart and joy in your soul! No matter what you think your issues are…cherish your peace of mind.
Happy Summer Everyone! ~ Michelle
June 6th - 23rd 2008
“When I choose to take care of myself, I’m also taking care of others.”
Hi Friends,
There comes a time in every person’s life when you have to take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself the important question’s, “Are you happy with me? Have I been taking good care of you? Is there anything you need that I have neglected to pay attention to?”
You do a good job asking those questions to those that you love, why is it so hard to ask them to yourself? Most of us were brought up not to think too much about ourselves and that the needs of others are always more important than our own. And, we were also taught about being responsible for ourselves - to pay our own way, keep our emotions to ourselves, and never be a burden or cry baby towards others.
God put you in charge of you and no one can ever do a better job of taking care of you than you can!
This is true and as such…we better all start asking ourselves the questions I talked about above. When you ask yourself these deep hearted questions…you will receive an answer. That answer may come in a tear filled feeling if you have been neglecting your own needs or it may come with a joyful feeling of gratitude if you have been doing a good job. For better or worse, don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions and don’t delay in taking care of your most basic needs.
Everyone deserves to feel love, everyone deserves to be nourished, and everyone deserves to feel comfortable in your own body. Scan your body right now and notice where you feel hurt. Is it in your emotions? Is it in a certain body part that seems to ache more now than it has before? You need to observe what your body is telling you.
One of my all time favorite books about healing is, You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. This is a literal encyclopedia of every disease, illness, ache, or pain a person can get, how thy got it, and positive affirmations to begin your healing journey. No home should be without a copy of this fantastic book and I’m always recommending it highly to all my clients. Be good to yourself and start your healing journey by getting yourself a copy soon. I am sure you will find it highly informative and as spiritually enlightening as I have. I refer to my copy often and I know you will too.
We are moing into a new season of our lives. The Summer Solstice comes in this week on Friday, June 20that 7:59 pm est - 4:59 pm pt. Are you ready for summer? Are you ready physically to join in on the fun? Everyone, no matter how young or old should always allow themselves the opportunity to feel like a kid when summer comes around. The planetary vibrations have been asking us to ‘let go’ of the past and get ready for a brand new brighter future!
It’s been taking this world a long time to learn to release the outdated patterns of things and renew ourselves, mind, body, and spirit. It may take a bit longer yet, but like the changing seasons, so too are you personally changing. In order for you to see this a bit clearer, I would like to step back in time, not that long ago, when we were in the year of 2007. 2007 was a Universal 9 Vibration - giving us all a chance to let go of the negative baggage and allow our faith and spirituality to get stronger…to learn to trust.
Then, we all moved into 2008, which is a 1 Universal Vibration - a brand new start…brand new beginnings - new chances, new seeds of success never before even imagined to become a part of our reality.
Being the human beings that we can be and considering that we all live in the human dilemma of the ego, some people do not want to let go of the past, they do not want to change, they do not trust anythng new or different than what they are used to. But, whether they like it or not…this is a brand new start for all of us and the more positive the seeds of success we can plant together, the brighter all of our futures will be over the next 8 years.
Take a good look around you. Did you start anything new yet or are you still holding onto the past? Is your life moving in the direction of a new and brighter story line, or does your ego keep repeating experiences in your life that you know are not good for you? Are you ready for a change?
The first step to creating personal change is asking yourself those important questions and taking positive action towards fulfilling your life with nourishment and love. Give yourself permission to do this. Let go of old parental laws that are holding you back from being all that you can be. Give yourself a chance to bloom and show the world the beautiful soul that you are!
I’m thinking about flowers now. I love watching beautiful flowers grow. Even if those flowers are wild flowers - or even weeds that bloom with flowers on them - they are all beautiful in their own way. I’ve been accused of allowing weeds to grow in my garden, but I say, “if they have flowers, they are beautiful too and they can stay right where they choose to be!”
Angels love flowers too. Would you like to have a way that you can personally get guidace from the Angels on a daily basis? Would you like to be able to ask them a question directly and get a positive answer about the directions you should take? I’ve got the solution for you!
I work with New World Library Publishing andwhen they have a new product they would like me to review they senditto me to check out. Well…hang onto your heart…there is a beautiful set of new Angel Cards that are totally blessed by the Angels. I’ve been working with them for months now andthey have always given me the guidance I’ve been seeking. Each card has a beautiful blooming flower on it, withwordsof inspiration that will be just right for you! This beautiful card set comes with a book that explains each card you pick andalso gives you a variety of spreads you can use for different questions. The way I’ve been using these cards came withguidancedirectly from the Angels themselves. It’s not written in the book to use them this way, but if you are guided, I say, use them any way that they tell you to. We are both Spirit and ego. It’s always good to know how your Spirit desires to guide you andalsogood to see what’s up with your ego andwhatit is trying to tell you. By knowing what your ego desires, you can find out what your blocks truly are andmaybe have been for such a long time. I pick 3 cards to represent the spiritual flow going on in my life and2 cards to represent what my ego has to say. These cards have been right on every single time. I’ve been using them with my clients too and I’ll give them a 100% accuracy score on the knowlege they bring to our attention.
What is this fantastic and totally beautiful boxed set?

“What more can I say…”
Hi Friends,
We had some serious storms here in Michigan on Sunday andMonday- Mercury is retrograde, what more can I say, our electricity was out for more than a day! Okay…then, I went to write this newsletter to you andIalmost had a great one complete - all about Mercury retrograde through the signs - and guess what happened?? I went to click on save and publish and the internet booted me off! UGH…so, without further adu - I’m writing this little message to you. Keep your chin up andlearnto laugh at the small ‘issues’ you have going on in your life right now. Take a deep breath and say, “This too will pass”. Mercury retrograde in Gemini will go back into direct motion at 10:13 am est on June 19th. Don’t take anything too seriously anddon’tthrow the baby out with the bathwater. Keep your good sense of humor flowing andwhen those aroundyouwant you to fix their problems, when you have enough on your own plate already, do like I do, “What more can I say…” and let them handle their own issues and tell them you’ll be back on another day. Keep Smiling…Onward and Upward….Love, Michelle

“When I am in balance everything seems right in the world.”
Hi Friends,
When was the last time you really felt ‘in balance’? Right now, check yourself and see what parts of you may seem out of whack. Are you feeling emotionally, physically, mentally, or spiritually out of balance? Maybe all of the above? Do you feel your finances are out of balance? How about your relationships?
Outside circumstances can easily throw us out of balance and when we feel out of balance in any area of our life, we can’t work at our optimum level and we can’t handle our relationships in a loving and balanced way. Okay, so you are wondering, “Now that you have brought my in-balances to my attention Michelle, how can I bring myself into balance?”
You may think this would be a hard thing to do, but I’m going to give you an easy to do exercise on how you can do this. Simple, sweet, and to the point, with a very high level of positive results, all you have to do is read on…learn…and be willing to participate. Are you ready?
We all have energy centers throughout our bodies and they are called Chakra’s. You may have heard about them and to some of you this will be entirely new, so let me start at the beginning. Yes, we all have these energy centers called Chakra’s. There are many, but the most important ones I want you to learn about are the 7 sacred Charkra’s that reside within your body. Each Chakra is very important and when one of them is out of sync, the rest of them can begin to decrease their energies too. What we desire them to do is to be free of negative debris andspin all in harmony witheach other. Let me try to make this lesson as simple as I can for you, first witha brief description of where these Chakra’s are, and what each Chakra needs to do.
7 Sacred Chakra’s
The Root Chakra: Also known as the 1st Chakra - located at the base of the spine, its color is RED and the purpose of this Chakra energy is for your sense of stability, security, and survival. This Chakra rules over the lower back. When in harmony, this Chakra gives you the energy and strength to do what you need to do to be financially comfortable in your life. This energy keeps you strong and grounded in the physical plane.
The Sacral Chakra: Also known as the 2nd Chakra - located just below your naval, its color is ORANGE and the purpose of this Chakrais for your true sense of sexuality, creativity, andinner strength. This Chakra rules over the sexual organs. When in harmony, this Chakra gives you the ability to feel sexy and allows your positive creative ideas to be conceived.
The Solar Plexus Chakra: Also known as the 3rd Chakra - located just above the naval on the stomach area where your Solar Plexus resides. This Chakra’s color is a BRIGHT YELLOW/GOLD. The 3rd Chakra is very important and rules over your ‘willpower’. When vibrating properly, you will feel in control of your life andeverythingabout your life. When you say, “I WILL it…so BE it!” you are working in harmony with this Chakra.
The Heart Chakra: Also known as the 4th Chakra - located at your heart center - vibrates to the color GREEN and rules over all things relating to feelings, love, caring, kindness, generosity, and all other emotional situations. When vibrating correctly, you will feel calm and loved in your life as well as have a strong ability to love and care for others.
The Throat Chakra: Also known as the 5th Chakra - located at the base of your throat - vibrates to the color BLUE. This Chakrahelps you to communicate. When vibrating correctly, you will feel free to say perfectly what’s on your mind, in your heart, andgives you the ability to communicate wonderfully.
The Third Eye Chakra: Also known as the 6th Chakra - located between your eyebrows - vibrates to the color INDIGO. This Chakra strengthens your intuition, brings visions into your mind, and is also knows as the 6thsense center. When you meditate, if you desire visual visions, you should put your complete focus on this Chakra.
The Crown Chakra: Also known as the 7th Chakra - located just above the crown of your head - vibrates to the color PURPLE but can also have all the colors you can imagine contained within it too. Imagine a million flowers of a million different colors all beaming out from the top of your head, then you can begin to imagine the beauty of this Chakra. This is the Chakra of Enlightenment.
This is the basics of the Chakra’s. Now, imagine that you are having difficulties in a relationship, which Chakradoyou think would be the one spinning out of sync? Your thoughts create either peaceful and harmonic vibrating Chakras, or can cause Chakra ‘dis-ease’. First your thoughts can throw them out of whack, then your beliefs, and your fears, and of course other people’s issues can distress them too. So what can you do to release the negativities out of your Chakra’s and get them aligned harmonically again?
Join along with me and do the…ChakraCleansing Exercise!
Either sitting, or standing, take both of your hands - palms up, finger tips touching, andputthem at the front of your body by your lower hips. Take a deep breath andasyou are holding your breath, take your hands and ’scrape’ the negativity up and out of each of your Chakra’s. If I was standing in front of you it would look like this: “I breathe IN - move my hands up across my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Chakra and as I reach the Crown Chakra - I lift my arms high above my head and EXHALE all the air out of my lungs. As I exhale - I visualize all the negativities, from all of the Chakra’s, leaving my body through the top of my head. I exhale with great force until all the air is completely out of my body.
Then…withmyarms still high above my head…I slowly take another deep breath and visualize beautiful sunlight…great white light…coming down upon me into my Crown Chakra (and I slowly move my hands back down, touching each chakra) down through my 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, anddownboth of my legs and into my feet and grounding me into the earth. Loving, healing, beautiful Divine Light - healing me and filling up the spaces where the negativities were residing. Bringing me back into balance in a very healing, loving, and natural way.
If you can’t hold your breath that long to go through all of your chakras during the releasement phase, just try moving your arms up a little bit faster until they are high over your head. You want to move them up ‘in front’ of you, like you are squeeging off water from a window, or taking lint out of a lint filter from your dryer. Just visualize grey energy moving up and up and up…until like black smoke, you release it all out of your Crown Chakra. Pretend you are like a volcano and you are allowing yourself to erruptallof the negativity out of you completely. Then, remember to fill yourself up with healing sunshine filled white light!
Also, you can carry around the colors of the Chakra’syou are trying to work with. Such as: if you are having security issues and need more financial support, don’t let your back go out of whack…wear RED, eat RED foods, carry something RED in your pocket…etc. Same thing goes for all of the other Chakra’s you desire to bring into a harmonic balance.
But, most importantly, after you do the Chakra Cleansing Exercise, become more aware of what you think andhow you react to what other people around you are saying and doing. If you don’t desire disease in your body and in the circumstances of your life, it’s up to you to take good care of your Chakra’s!

May 26th -June 2nd 2008
“Perceive, Believe, and Achieve!”
Hi Friends,
I was given a special request to describe the meanings of our daily numbers. A natural bio-rythm that will work out perfectly just for you. Do you know what daily number vibration you are going through today? It’s really easy to figure out. First you have to know what ‘cycle’ of life you are going through.
Example using my birthday - March 2nd 1961
My last birthday was in 2008. 2+0+0+8 = 10 1+0=1
3+2+1=6
(If you have more numbers than that, just keep adding them together until you break it down to a single digit.)
Using the above simple math, I am currently in a 6 cycle until my next birthday in 2009.
Now, this is how you will figure out your daily number vibration. Again, I will use my ‘cycle’ number. Once you know yours, you will use that in place of where I put mine.
As I am writing to you, it is Monday, May 26th. Here is the simple math that you will use:
5 = May
26 = the day
6 = is my current cycle and you will put yours here.
Now add them down. After adding mine together it came to 37. 3+7 = 10 1+0=1
So, I am having a 1 day today and tomorrow I will have an 11/2 day and a 3 day on the following day. Once you know your current daily vibration, you can just get out your calendar andwrite the numers across from 1 to 9 and after 9 it’s another 1 day for you. Occasionally, you will want to recheck the math because we sometimes are blessed to have an 11, 22, or 33 day going on too and those have an even bigger meaning for our lives.
Okay, onto the description of what your daily vibrational numbers mean for you. If you perceive a day in a positive way and go with the flow, your life will become so much easier…so read on…
1 Day - New Beginnings! Start projects on this day. You are planting seeds of success for your future. Anything new you start today will turn out successful. Your energy is higher and you should be feeling great! Be a leader today. You may want to work on projects by yourself so that you can concentrate better on the details. “I AM making new beginnings today that will bring me success for my future!”
2 Day- Cooperation, friendships, partnerships, and teamwork. If you are in a good mood andpeoplework with you as a team, all will be well. If they don’t and if you feel crabby…it’s a PMSy day - watch out! “My friendships are important to me andInurture them with kindness.”
3 Day - Fun, laughter, adventure, music, dance! This is a day to play! The bigger the groups you are around the happier you will be. Good communication flows with laughter today. Enjoy! “I allow myself to tap into my inner-child and allow myself to enjoy my day and play!”
4 Day - Back to work! Organize all of the chaos around you. Get things done! Learn something new today! “I happily organize my life and bring more stability and security to myself and all those around me.”
5 Day - Changes, challenges, tests of faith and twists of fate! Energy is moving quickly today. Watch your temper. Focus on changes you want to see happen for you. “The changes I make today may be challenging but they will help me to grow and prosper.”
6 Day - Relationship Day! Nurture all those who are important to you. People from your past often come back into your life on this day. Harmony in relationships should be your first priority. “My relationships take top priority in my life. I nurture then with love and kindness.”
7 Day - A Day all about YOU! Do what you want and work on projects that make you happy. Great day for: a haircut, shopping, meditation, visualization, getting a reading, or anything else that helps you to learn more about you, and helps you feel at your best. “I AM important today. I nurture myself with love and kindness.”
8 Day- Power Day. Success in all areas of your life can happen today, but, watch out for control issues. When things do not go exactly the way you had planned, you might get very depressed. Let go andput those situaions in the hands of a higher power. “I release total control andput it in the hands of a Higher Power. I release depression andfill myself with spiritual energy and success.”
9 Day - A Day of Rest. Finish projects, clean out closets, and just take it easy. Let the Universe provide for you today. Often on 9 days, if you are in a positive mood, you may expect a special surprise or present that may come from an unexpected source. Main thing is to take it easy. “I happily release all people, places, and things that no longer serve my Highest Good. I allow myself to be tranquil. It’s my time for rest and relaxation.”
Now, what if you run across a “Master” vibrational day? Okay…here we go…
11 Day - Angelic Day. Watch for signs, symbols, and energetic guidance that will help you with your day. Listen to your intuition. Your guides and angels have a better chance of communication with you. “The Angels surround me and guide me each step of the way.”
22 Day - This is a BIG day to get a lot accomplished. Help out with charities and communicate your spiritual ideas with others. You can personally help out in a big way! “My intuitive ideas are flowing very well. I AM the Master Builder of my own life and those around me.”
33 Day - Old emotional wounds from past relationships, or a current one, can be healed today. You are being called upon to be a caretaker and nurturer for many. Forgiveness and healing are important issues. “I choose to be the nurturer towards all those that need my assistance today.”
I hope you found this article enlightening and if you need further assistance feel free to contact me at: michelle@astroenlightenment.com I hope that you will be able to follow the vibrational flow of your daily numbers. When you do, life will work out so much easier for you. And, it’s so much fun to know your daily number and go with the flow. Keeping a journal about how these numbers actually work out for you can be quite amazing too.
One last thought for this week - Mercury, the planet of communication, is in its ruling sign of Gemini and just went retrograde today at noon. Mercury will be in retrograde motion from May 26th - June 19th. You can expect the unexpected now. What is meant to breakdown…will. What needs to be repaired will be crying out for your attention. This is also true in the communications you have withthose aroundyou. Be kind, caring, understanding, and think before you speak so that you don’t unintentionally hurt anyone’sfeelings around you. Have patience andremember that this is just a passing phase.
Have a blessed week ~ Michelle
May 19th - May 26th 2008
“I AM an important part of All There IS!”
Dear Friends,
Look around you, what beautiful things do you see? Are you enjoying the green grass, the green leaves on the tree’s, the beautiful blue skies, and the flowers in bloom? Stop for a moment and look around you. Take time to notice the beauty that is in your life. This beauty is a reflection of the beautiful person that you are!
People who are rushing around and saying, “I have no time for this!” don’t take the time to notice the beauty and thus their inner-beauty begins to fade. You know the type. They are highly ambitious with no time for themselves. They rush through life believing that the more they accomplish…the more productive a person they are. Hold on one minute, this is not why you are here! Yes, you have plenty of opportunities to ‘do’ things, but are you growing in your heart? Are you growing as a soul?
The process of evolving yourself is your “Life’s Purpose.”
The serving of others you came to offer humanity is your “Life’s Work.”
Nothing else I could say, or ever will say, is more important than this. Write those two sentences down and put them where you can see them every day. If you are going to ponder over anything, may it be those two important sentences.
Now, you may ask me, “How do I evolve myself?” Anything you can do that will help you feel more internal joy and happiness will evolve you. Just taking time to enjoy nature and everything beautiful that God created will help you evolve. Anything you can personally do to add to the beauty and love of this world will help you evolve. You are ONE with everything. You are ONE with everyone. When you ‘feel’ the beauty in another, this is just a mirror reflection of the beauty inside of you.
Then, you may ask me, “How can I serve others better so that I know I am on the right track with my Life’s Work?” Anything you can do to help another person understand their own soul growth is good. Any talent you have that you can share with the world is an excellent step in the right direction.
There is another way to evolve your soul and know what your life’s work is all about and that technique is through knowing what your personal life path is all about. Do you know your life path? Let me help you figure it out for you. This is an easy process. Just pay attention, get out your pencil and a piece of paper and follow along. Once you learn how to do this for yourself, you can then do it for the people in your life and help them to understand their life’s journey better. By following your life path, your life should flow so much easier. So…let’s go…get ready for some fun and enlightenment!
Life Paths
Okay, let me use my own birth date as an example: I was born on March 2nd, 1961. Write down your birth date on a piece of paper. Write it down like this: 3-2-1961 - okay, now instead of dashes between the numbers, I want you to put a + between each digit like this: 3+2+1+9+6+1 and add them all together.
3+2+1+9+6+1=22 2+2=4 (22/4) is my life path
Did you get that right? Go back and double check your addition. Make sure that you are adding everything up right and that you didn’t leave anything out. You should have 3 digits. 2 in front and 1 in back, like mine 22/4. If you have a double digit like mine, 11-22-33…that means something important. But if, let’s say you had 13/4 - don’t worry about the 1 and 3 - for the purpose of this newsletter this week, just concentrate on the last digit -the 4 - as your main life path number. Below, I am going to give you the brief descriptions of each life path number. To get a much deeper detail about all three of your numbers, I highly recommend the book, “The Life You Were Born to Live” by Dan Millman. This is an excellent book indeed! For those of you who want to get more in-depth about all 3 of your numbers NOW…read the descriptions below and weave the vibrations together to bring harmony into your life.
-
The path of the leader! These people love to do things their way and have a stubborn streak to believe that their way is the only way…the only ‘right’ way to do everything. They are born to be leaders and often live a life in comfort being alone. They can share their life with other people, but their space is their sacred space and must be highly valued by those around them. “Me first” is their motto! They have excellent analytical skills and being the BOSS means a lot to them. They just have to learn to be tolerant of other people’s levels and skills in life and don’t expect others to be just like them.
-
The path of teamwork and cooperation, they don’t like to be alone. They have a deep need to share themselves with someone special. They don’t particularly like crowds, but one on one interaction is important to them. These people are very passionate and need to learn how to be best friends with themselves before expecting to be best friends with another. These people have very sensitive nerves and situations can get on their nerves very easily. If they don’t get the cooperation they need, and the attention they need, they can become afraid and very complaining about things. This path is about sharing your life with another and learning tolerance. Feminine energies here.
-
Fun, dance, music, art, laughter, travel, and lots of communication. These are the people who can bring other people together and throw the best parties. They love to create beautiful things and they love to talk and get people laughing. “Life is for fun!” is their motto.
-
These people are the ‘organizers’ and’teachers’ of all the numbers. Like a square with 4 solid sides, they like things organized, they like things to make sense, andtheywill search the world over for the Truth. The people are often seen as teachers in every organization. They learn quickly andcan share what they learn with others. They must first learn to be organized in their own lives andthen they can share what they have learned withthe world. Commitments are important to them, but they must be very tolerant of other people who are not as quickly to learn as they are. Passionate, dedicated, and committed these people can be!
-
This is the path of “changes, challenges, and twists of fate”. Changes of all kinds are going to happen in these people’s lives and the faster they realize that they can create the changes they desire instead of just flowing with what life throws at them, the happier they will be.
-
This is the path of “family, friends, and community” their biggest lessons will come through the relationships they have in their lives. They are here to be the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, careftakers, andgoodfriends to all around them. They are often asked to be a parent to their parents.
-
This is the path of ’self vs Self’ a path of Self discovery. The smaller self is that of the ego that will throw a temper tantrum if it doesn’t get its way. The larger Self is that of Spirit and allowing their creative Spirit to shine through. Once knowing who they truly are, this Self is here to serve humanity in many healing ways.
-
This is the path of ‘control vs Success’ - these people are here to learn to relinquish control. They have much ‘power’ and when used for the good they can create all kinds of wonderful things. They always have a plan and when people and situations don’t follow their plan (the plan of the ego) they can get highly depressed. Success comes with ‘letting go’ and giving issues to a higher power. Success can come in the form of great financial abundance if depression is released. They resist and persist. Bi-polar/manic energies and male energies seen here. The negative energies can be easily overcome by strengthening their faith in a Higher Unconditionally Loving Power.
-
This is the path of spiritual release. These people need more rest and relaxation than others. They often pick up on other people’s energies and have to be careful with addictions. They are highly intuitive and when they allow their inner child to come out and play, everything is wonderful. Overcoming self abuse and learning to set positive personal boundaries that are healthy for them is extremely important.
The Higher vibration numbers of 11 22 33 are all old Souls. Special Souls who have chosen to be here to help the world. The special Souls didn’t have to be here because they have already obtained their “Master’s Degree of Higher Soul Evolvement.” They are here to serve humanity and to remember why they came here and where they came from. To bring a little heaven to earthandhelpother souls to evolve too. You will find many of these people working in the medical fields, counseling fields, spiritual fields, science and other fields that can help the earth andhumanity too. They often feel the burden andgravityof this world more than most, but must ‘remember’ that they signed up with God’s employment bearu and that they are blessed when they do the work that they are here to do.
