The Life That Makes All Things New
As you accept with patience and surrender the difficulties you encounter throughout life on a daily basis, so will you find flowing into you through the Crown Chakra, a light or life-force which will remove all anxiety and pain, making each day a new experience. This comes to each one of us gently, slowly, as we open ourselves from within to the gifts of Spirit. Occasionally you will become aware of a glow within your heart, or of a light feeling, and you will become aware of the harmony which is shaping your life right now through the power of the Divine.
If you direct the right thoughts to those around you, and begin to put the action of the Law of Love in front of any circumstances you may find yourself in, you will find that these troubles and upsets will gradually smooth themselves out. Events will begin to work more harmoniously for you and you will begin to feel, “God is very good to me.” You will begin to realize that within you, as you practice your daily meditations, there is a power building, a feeling of Love, which is helping you actively. This will guide you towards the desired balance of Love, Peace and Harmony within your heart.
This glow within your heart which brings to you such sweet happiness and joy may remain for a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days – and then may disappear. Never fear for slowly this power and gratitude will increase in you. As your life continues, you will experience this renewing energy more often, for you are Ascending up a spiral of light and vibration which will eventually bring you, as a Daughter or Son of God, into the kingdom of eternal light and bliss.
Pray and and meditate on the yellow golden rose, the flower of God. You are looking at this rose from afar, as something outside of you. But it is within your heart, always! The petals of this divine flower are slowly opening as you chant your prayers, opening to receive the golden warmth of sunshine and power from above. There is a light within the heart as well music coming to you from the flowers. The light from above and the light from the flower blend as one…as you swoon into the bliss of Divine Love
The Sun has entered TAURUS
Earthy and fixed Solar TAURUS, sets you in rhythm with all that is stable and steadfast. This is a good time to promote productivity in the realms of personal finance, artistic ingenuity, and animal care taking. Put your head, heart and hands into meaningful creative work and self-assurance will follow. Symbolized by the Bull, Taurus offers tenacity enhanced by patience. By forsaking laziness, lethargy, and obstinacy, you can reap the rewards of discipline and structure. Above all, break free from attachment to external material possessions by focusing on your inner beauty. Be an advocate for graceful simplicity.
Think green, gold and glitter as Jupiter travels through your 3rd House this year, Taurus. This fortunate period, which happens only once every twelve years, ups your communication and networking. With luck, you can greet December, 2014, with a fatter bank account than you began with at the start of 2014. Your paycheck could double, or you could receive a promotion or inheritance, a lottery or contest win, a windfall, or settlement, or a gift from a relative. Curb the urge to use your credit; instead save up and pay cash for your big ticket items. If you plan to purchase a new home, shop around for the best mortgage rate and be sure to seal the deal before September’s end.
Based on the Rune (Partnership) and Animal (Turtle), May 2014 brings a time of .

ANIMAL: TURTLE
Turtle ——— Great Mother
Feed my Spirit with your Harvest,
Clothe my Heart with your warmth,
That I may serve you, too.
In Shaman teachings, Turtle is the oldest symbol for the planet Earth. It is the personification of goddess energy, and the Eternal Mother from which our lives evolve. We are born of the womb of Earth, and into her soil our bodies will return. In honoring the Earth, we are asked by Turtle to be mindful of the cycle of give and take, to give back to our Mother what she has so generously given to us.
Turtle has a shell which is similar to the protection that Earth has employed for centuries as her body has been defiled. Mother Earth’s protection has come in the form of Earth changes, new plant growth, and the creation of new land masses by volcanoes and climate alterations. Like Turtle, you also have shells that protect you from hurt, envy, jealousy, and the unconsciousness of others. Turtle teaches you, by its habit patterns, how to use protection. If you are bothered by the actions and words of others, it is time to go inside yourself and honor your feelings. If you are attacked, it is time to give a warning snap!
May has chosen the symbol of Turtle for its expression. You are being asked to honor the creative source within you, to be grounded to the Earth, and to observe your life situation with motherly compassion. Use the water and earth energies, which represent Turtle’s two homes, to flow harmoniously with your situation and to place your feet firmly on the ground in a power stance.
Turtle is a fine teacher in the art of grounding. You may even be able to overcome some of your “space cadet” tendencies if you align with the Turtle. In learning to ground, you are placing focus on your thoughts and actions and slowing to a pace that assures completion. Turtle warns you of the dangers of “pushing the river”, as evidenced by the plodding place it keeps. The corn that is harvested before its time is not yet full. However, if given a chance to develop at its own rate, in its own season, its sweetness will be shared by all.
Turtle buries its thoughts, like its eggs, in the sand, and allows the Sun to hatch the little ones. This teaches you to develop your ideas before bringing them out into the light. Look at the oldest fable of the tortoise and the hare, and decide if you would like to align yourself with the Turtle. Bigger, stronger and faster are not always the best ways to get to a goal. When you arrive, you may be asked where you have been and you may not be able to remember. In that case, arriving prematurely can make you feel very immature.
May, the new growth and flowers month, has been chosen as the month for the Turtle, which augurs a time of connecting with the power of the Earth — the Mother-Goddess within. It does not matter what situation you have created in your life. This is a reminder of the ally you have with the Mother Earth. Ask her for assistance and abundance will follow.

RUNE OF THE MONTH
GEBO
Partnership
Gebo is the Rune showing that a union or uniting or partnership of some form is at hand. You are, however, put on notice not to collapse yourself into that union. For true partnership can only be achieved by separate and whole beings who retain their separateness even in unity and uniting. Always remember to let the winds of heaven dance between you.
At all levels, in love relationships, business matters, in partnering of any kind, this counsel applies particularly when you are entering into a partnership with your Blessed Higher Self. Establishing an open, flowing channel between the Self and the Higher Self is the ultimate form of human partnership. For out of it comes a union with the Divine. God always enters into equal partnerships.
Thus Gebo, the Rune of Partnership, has no reverse for it signifies the gift of freedom from which flows all other gifts.
This has always been the section for Healing Requests. Through the power of group prayers, healing take place spontaneously. You can be of help to many others, as well as your loved ones, with one minute of silence at 7:30 pm EST every Sunday evening anywhere in the world. With a prayer for the recovery of health, universal energy is sent out to any and all who send in their prayer request.

Discover the secrets of your Astrological Sun Sign, Moon Sign and Rising Sign and read them all together, for monthly guidance and direction.
TAURUS
The May 14th Full Moon in Scorpio brings a fairly quiet week. Time to wrap things up, complete projects, and finalize details. It is also time to let go of the past and begin to work hard to make your dreams come true.
May 28th New Moon in Gemini brings a time to keep your feet on the ground and head out of the clouds. You could be starting off on a new footing in sales and marketing, or learning some new technical skill. The status quo remains through June.
The Spring Equinox Leads us to New Beginnings – Flowers, Pets, and Spring.
THE PERSONAL SIGNS
Aries (3/21 – 4/20)
If you’re looking at real estate ventures, Aries, then also look at May to finalize the deal. Taking care of debts is another priority. You’re never feeling better than when you know you’re free to be you, and May is the month for that. You may meet the person who is finally right for you. No matter what happened last time, remember, you never know!
Taurus (4/21-5/21)
Recognition and added perks come your way in May, Taurus. You will make yourself heard, possibly for the first time in a long time. Your one-on-one relationships have been difficult over the years, but now, a fortunate encounter comes along. Try to stay out of an emotional crossfire at month’s end, or you may wind up saying “Good-bye.”
Gemini (5/21-6/20)
You are charming with your personality and appearance, Gemini. Your ability to reach across and touch someone will be truly amazing now. You are working on changing the way you come across to others. You are quitting things that are not good for you, and that’s just the beginning! Anything money oriented you decide on will go very well.
Cancer (6/21-7/22)
With all of the conflicts you’ve worked through lately, a little break in the action is needed. It’s on the way this month Cancer. You have the chance to catch your breath while someone else comes in and takes charge, just when you’re at the end of your rope. You’re in the mood to give and then to give some more, and someone will take the time to thank you for it.
Leo (7/23-8/22)
A tug of war between your duties at home and your career will have you at your wits end this month, Leo. You’re building a name for yourself, and as you know, that takes love, time and devotion. Your mission is to find a way to get the message across to everyone who’s complaining about not getting to see you. If they don’t listen to reason, just do what you have to do.
Virgo (8/23-9/22)
Career matters open up for you, as it will be easy to chat with authority figures and one may take a liking to you. Listen carefully to any offer you may receive, and get everything down in writing. Be sure not to sign up for anything you can’t realistically do. Joint finances are in focus, so if you’ve been waiting for the answer regarding a loan, it could arrive with positive results.
Libra (9/23-10/22)
You may actually decide to return to school, Libra. You may also decide to go on that fabulous vacation, explore that far-off location, and learn something from that place you’re always wanted to visit. If you’re not currently seeing someone, an ardent new admirer could storm on the scene and be absolutely impossible to ignore.
Scorpio (10/ 23-11/22)
May brings the strength for you to keep a steady course, Scorpio. If problems come up, you’ll know who to see, what to ask for, and what to expect. Also, your financial senses are especially keen right now. Be careful, as arguments could come up regarding financial agreements.
Sagittarius (11/23-12/21)
Your social schedule fills up quickly in May and you may need to hire a secretary, or at least use a daytime planner. You can expect one exciting, new individual to enter your life. Make sure you have what it takes to stay together while maintaining your personal freedom. You may be tempted to overspend, but do not allow yourself to go into debt.
Capricorn (12/22-1/19)
The break you’ve been waiting for to turn your professional interests into income will finally arrive. Your mission is to market yourself to the very best of your abilities. Shake every hand, kiss every baby and smile, Capricorn! You crave comforts, physical pleasures, travel, and leisure-time activities. Pay attention to any signs along the way and it will be tough for you to fail.
Aquarius (1/20-2/18)
May brings a time for communications and speaking your mind, for better or worse. You always say whatever you want, but at this time will be quite charming about it. Make nice with someone from a distance that you don’t see too often. You may feel an urgent need not only to make nice but also make hugs. Make arrangements to visit and spend some time together.
Pisces (2/19-3/20)
May brings the time for you to care for those who nobody else has the time or inclination to care for, Pisces, and you’ll have plenty of applicants. You can do some important, good work for those who cannot care for themselves, but be choosy about where you draw your attention. You may feel the need to deliver some ultimatums in May. It’s time to sit back, review your relationships and decide who needs to leave and who gets to stay.
