Monthly Tarotscopes: April 2018

Posted on by sbadmin

To mark the start of April, one of our psychics has chosen a different tarot card for each star sign to represent how the month could unfold. We believe Tarotscopes are a simple way to create a life of peace, meaning and prosperity, plus it’s an opportunity for people to learn more about the definitions of tarot decks. Below are all of the cards that are chosen for the month of April 2018.

*All cards pictured in this blog post are from the famous Rider-Waite Tarot Card deck.*

ARIES (MARCH 21ST – APRIL 19TH) 

Four of Swords

Keywords: Contemplation, rest, replenishment 

Have you had a hectic few weeks, Aries? If so, this is an ideal time for rest and replenishment. By taking time to put your feet up and reevaluate your life, you can exit the month feeling revitalised and ready for whatever life throws at you. Don’t hesitate to dive into your problems and look closely for potential causes and solutions. There’s no such thing as over analysis or overthinking this month. Leave no stone unturned.

TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20TH)

Ten of Pentacles ten pentacles

Keywords: Growth, productivity, establishment

The emergence of the Ten of Pentacles suggests that a period of accelerated growth could be just around the corner. Whatever you do this month will be multiplied and exaggerated, so it pays to be positive and productive! After all, any negative traits or behaviours will be magnified and inflated too. The consequences of actions you may later regret could last far longer than you’d imagine.

GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)

Wheel of Fortune wheel of fortune

Keywords: Motivation, turning point, optimisim

Patience is a virtue, Gemini, and we bet you’ve got bags of it. You have an admirable knack for setting yourself goals and working hard to achieve them. No matter how many obstacles you find in your path, you find ways to overcome them, refusing to give up or turn back. You’re a true perfectionist and have a slight competitive streak which helps give you the motivation to persevere. This month, try to slow down a little and take a breather. It doesn’t have to be ‘full steam ahead’ all the time.

CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND) 

King of Cups 

Keywords: Emotion, challenges, generosity 

If you’ve had a calm, productive and pleasant year so far, the tarot suggests something may be about to muddy the waters. Unpredictability lies ahead but this won’t necessarily be a bad thing. If you’re used to routine and certainty, the coming weeks may take you by surprise and make you a little uncomfortable at first. Keep your chin up. There are multiple opportunities for exciting adventures ahead.  

LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)

Strength

Keywords: Strength, courage, bravery strength

No sign deserves the Strength card more so than you this month, Leo. If you’ve been through a difficult few weeks – or even months – you’ll be glad to know that the universe is about to reach its hand out to you and offer you support. If you’re in need of a shoulder to cry on, someone surprising will console you in the coming weeks. At first, you may find it difficult to be open and honest about your feelings, but something will inspire bravery within the first few days of the month.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)

The Tower 

Keywords: Revelation, transformation, upheaval

The appearance of The Tower card suggests a revolutionary shift could be on the horizon. Sure, thanks to its flames and height, The Tower may seem terrifying and deadly but in reality, it’s transformative. Take this as a sign that something in your life needs to change. You’ll been laying low for a while now, Virgo, but the time has come to take the leap.

Life might throw a curveball in your direction towards the end of the month and if you don’t keep level headed, a fight or flight approach could make matters worse.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Hanged Man hanged man

Keywords: Perspective, wisdom, letting go 

If you do the work and put yourself in a position to thrive, you’ll be overwhelmed with insight and fresh perspective this month, Libra. The Hanged Man card is all about expanding our view on the world and benefitting from a new found sense of enlightenment and wisdom – even if the imagery on the card suggests a bleaker narrative of being trapped or constrained.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)

Ace of Pentacles ace of pentacles

Keywords: Strength, manifestation, opportunities 

This month is likely to be a period of recovery and strength, Scorpio. If you’ve been through a rough patch, it’s time to pick yourself up and dust yourself off before stomping in the direction of your dreams.

The only thing standing in your way is your own fluctuating mood, which could make it difficult to fully focus on your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)

Ten of Swords ten of swords

Keywords: Defeat, betrayal, crisis

This month you may find yourself delving deep into your past to try and understand what made someone treat you the way they did. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we can’t make sense of other people’s behaviour and actions. Rather than beating yourself up or obsessing over this person or period of your life, make this the month you let it go. Your intuition could play a key role in the weeks ahead and regular tarot readings will help you take a closer look at the opportunities available to you.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

Five of Wands five of wands

Keywords: Diversity, change, entertainment

Of all the tarot cards with the number five, the Five of Wands tends to bring the least chaos. Rather than mayhem and madness, this card is far more likely to bring you entertainment and fun – great if you’ve been plodding through a period of tranquility and inaction. A impromptu night out with a group of old friends could result in some great memories that you’ll laugh about for years to come.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)

Queen of Swords   Queen of swords

Keywords: Independence, authority, organised

If you’ve been bottling up your emotions and pretending to be perfectly fine when in reality this couldn’t be further from the truth, it’s time to speak your mind. Make this the month you exercise your authority. Put your foot down and refuse to let people take advantage of you. When you stand up for yourself and demand that your needs are met (within reason, of course) you’ll be amazed at how people’s respect for you improves.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)

The Star  the star

Keywords: Hope, potential, inspiration

What a fitting card for you, Pisces. Of all the star signs and all the tarot cards, we can’t think of a card that suits you better than this one. You’re the perfect pair. A winning combination. The dynamic duo. Make the most of this month because it has the potential to be really magical. The Star tarot is likely to bless you with unlimited power and potential. From awarding you with endless influence to drowning you in charm, you’ll me amazed at The Star’s potential.

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

aries

The start of a new month brings with it a whole new wave of possibilities. But are you sure you’re really allowing yourself to be open to them? If not, what do you think is holding you back? Sometimes we can be a little scared to try new things and that’s okay. But we mustn’t let fear stop of us from doing great things. This week is the time to push your worries aside and just dive right in. You never know what could happen if you just let yourself be truly open to new experiences.

TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20TH) taurus

You’re the cat that got the cream this week Taurus. Everything you want is just falling into place and it will be hard to wipe the smile from your face. Whilst you’re walking around in your cloud of bliss try not to completely ignore your obligations or you’re just going to be causing problems for future you. You don’t want a pile of complication when you’ve emerged from your haze of joy as it will ruin a near perfect week.

GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)gemini

A new relationship could well be on the cards this week for you Gemini. Whether it’s romantic or platonic is currently unclear but it will give you the rejuvenation you’ve been in need of. Stepping out of your comfort zone will do wonders for your social life too. It’s good to try new things every now and then and the worst that can happen is you don’t particularly enjoy it. But you may also find your new favourite thing!

CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)cancer

You’ve got a cause this week Cancer and nothing is going to stop you from getting fully behind it. When you believe in something it’s important to see it through which is just what you’re going to do. You’ll find it beneficial to conduct a clearing out exercise this week, ridding yourself of unnecessary baggage. Both physically and emotionally. It will feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders and it will result in quite the spring in your step!

LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)leo

Someone may accuse you of something false this week Leo. Try not to fly off the handle too quickly, they may only be going off limited information they have gained and it might not have any malicious intent behind it. Clear communication will be the way to work through this misunderstanding and the quicker you sort it out the quicker everyone can move past it.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)VIRGO

You’ll have a real desire to fly under the radar this week Virgo. You’ll be starting the month off quietly and that’s not a bad thing! Sometimes you can peak too early in the month so this slow burn will be good for you. Use this week to get organised and future you will thank you! Listening and observing rather than being the centre of attention will bring you great benefits this week.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Be wary of taking on too many commitments this week Libra. Instead, use your time to streamline the tasks you’ve already got on your plate. Don’t forget to factor in some recharging time for yourself too. It’s important to ensure you don’t burn out – you don’t want to be completely frazzled just one week into the new month. Learning to say a firm but polite “no” will help you too this week.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)scorpio

You may find yourself a little out of your comfort zone this week Scorpio. You could be surrounded by people who are talking about things you know absolutely nothing about. Or, people who work in a field that is not your area of expertise. Don’t worry – your confidence will carry you through and don’t be afraid to ask questions. That’s how we learn! By the end of the week you could have added a whole new dimension to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)sagittarius

This week you have the answers to questions that people are dying to know but you need to keep a tight lip. All eyes will be on you, searching for some clues, but it’s important you retain someone’s trust. Blabbing might make you a hero in the moment as you have a good story to tell but it will cost you a friend that you’ve had for a very long time. And it’s really not worth it.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

A fire has been lit under you and you’re starting the month off with a very productive week! Every part of your life is going to be in ship shape. You may also have to set aside some time this week to lend a hand to someone who isn’t quite as organised as you. It’s all part of your gung-ho attitude!

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)aquarius new

Make sure you’re not underestimating your abilities this week Aquarius. You’re far more capable of dealing with what this week is going to throw at you than you may think. Selling yourself short is going to be of no use. By the end of the week it won’t just be you that is taken slightly aback by your talents. Others will start to notice your capabilities too. And it could lead to something surprising…

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)pisces

You could find yourself in a bit of a leadership position this week Pisces. Whilst it’s a little unexpected, you’ll actually start to thrive in the role. And it suits you! There’s potential for you to build a small army of supporters around you this week and it will help you reach your goals. But you mustn’t let it go to your head. No one likes an ego and getting too big for your boots will result in people leaving your side.

Crystals For The Spring Equinox

Posted on by sbadmin

The Spring Equinox (also known as Vernal Equinox) represents rebirth, vitality, and a spiritual awakening. Although January is traditionally considered the New Year, each March, a new year of energy bursts forth and gives people an ample opportunity for growth and a fresh start.

Whether you feel your 2018 has gotten off to a less than perfect start or you’d like to turn over a new leaf, here are a handful of crystals to help you manifest new beginnings and make the most of the Spring Equinox.

Peridot

In ancient times, Peridot was known as chrysolite and considered a sacred stone of joy. Many believed it was a gift from the heavens and a sign that spring would be abundant and filled with rewards. This is an excellent crystal for blocking and overcoming negative patterns that keep making an appearance in your life.

Sunstone

As the name suggests, Sunstone is a beautiful crystal with an ability to shine light on any situation. It will chase the blues away and help you maintain a positive outlook, no matter what life throws at you.

Green Aventurine

Green Aventurine comforts and harmonises its beholder, while also shielding the heart from hurt. If you’d like to use the Spring Equinox as an opportunity to embark on a new romance, this beautiful crystal will help you leap into the unknown while also offering protection against heartbreak.

Ocean Jasper

Ocean Jasper is a stone of positivity and is perfect for quelling feelings of unrest, suspicion and hostility. It can calm and soothe, while encouraging loving and supportive energies to enter your life in abundance.

Moss Agate

Are you struggling to maintain balance in your life? If it feels like everything’s up in the air or you’re finding it difficult to juggle multiple aspects of your life at once, Moss Agate can help. It’ll help you focus on the task at hand and achieve each goal without neglecting other jobs you need to attend to.

Clearing a Black Aura

Posted on by sbadmin

To most people the prospect of having a black aura can be pretty scary. But you shouldn’t worry. Anyone can get a black aura and it’s more common than you think.

Whilst having a black aura is nothing to be scared of, it’s certainly not your natural state. A black aura can be caused by a number of things; grief, loneliness, resentment and you can find out more about why some people have a black aura here.

Symptoms of a black aura

A black aura can be draining for a person. Rather than emanating strong, clean vibrations and energy, it absorbs negative energy which can leave people feeling sluggish. Not only does a black aura leave the person feeling depleted, it can affect those around them too. Spending time with someone who has a black aura can be exhausting. And it isn’t pleasant to have long-term.

Clearing a black aura

If you have a black aura, you don’t just have to live with it. Usually your black aura will be temporary and it can disappear on its own when you resolve any issues you have. However, if your black aura lasts a long time and you need some extra help in clearing it, you can take extra steps to get it back to your natural colour.

Here are some things you can try:

Visualisation

Sit comfortably and quietly. Visualise your black aura as a dark cloud swirling around your entire being. It’s encompassing your life, body and soul, pulling in the negativity and bad vibes from the world. Really visualise and feel how unpleasant it feels. Now, visualise the cloud dissipating. The black cloud is dissolving and wisping away and tiny glimmers of light and colour are breaking through. Visualise the colours getting bigger and brighter and as you do that, feel the negativity draining away and being replaced with positivity.

You can do this multiple times until you clear your black aura.

Crystals

Carry a cleansing crystal with you at all times to help clear your aura. There are a number of different crystals you can try. Clear or pink quartz is good, along with celestite, larimar and lepidolite. As well as carrying a crystal around you may also find it beneficial to place them around your home or place of work.

Meditation

Meditation is quite similar to visualisation in that you sit comfortably and quietly. However, meditation doesn’t have to be visual and it can be more introspective. You can meditate to clear your mind of negative thoughts and energy which can help to clear your black aura.

Self-care

Self-care is a big part of clearing your black aura and more importantly, keeping it clear. It’s important for us to practice self-care as often as possible, not only for keeping our aura clear but just for our general wellbeing and happiness. And self-care can be anything. It can be taking the time out to have a long soak in the bath with some candles and essential oils, it can be getting stuck into a good book, exercising more, spending more time with friends – anything that makes you feel good and is a positive force in your life.

Clearing a black aura can be an extremely positive step on your way to self improvement. Let us know how you get on.

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

aries

You may feel like you’re in need of a little stimulation this week Aries. It can leave you making impulsive decisions and changes in your life that may not be the best in the long run. It’s worth remembering that this impulsivity is just a passing phase but if you act too rashly you could be left with unwanted consequences long after your mood changes. If you’re feeling a little emotionally sensitive this week try to look at situations objectively to get the full picture.

TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20TH) taurus

Excitement will build this week Taurus as someone or something you’ve been waiting for finally arrives! And it’s well worth the wait. This is going to be a good week overall for you. You’re in control, you’re focused and nothing is going to tempt you into straying from your path. And your self discipline won’t go unnoticed either. Those around you will be impressed with your level of commitment and dedication – they may even be a little jealous!

GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)gemini

Fun and excitement will dominate your social and possibly your love life this week Gemini. Your affectionate nature will really shine over the next seven days and will mean you’ll attract some cool, interesting and creative types into your inner circle. It may result in some intriguing conversations and compelling plans for the next few months. The only obstacle you may face this week is making sure your feelings are clearly expressed and understood.

CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)cancer

Duty and determination will be your key words this week Cancer. It’s time to get your serious head on and show some real leadership qualities. You know you have it inside you, you just need that push to bring it out. That push could be any number of things; someone younger may come to you for help and advice or a crisis may crop up that requires you to step in. Whatever it is, this week is the time for hard work – anything less will leave you feeling guilty.

LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)leo

This week could be a whole lot of fun for you Leo, if not slightly strange. You’ll find that your psychic intuition is really strong over the next week or so which will make for some interesting situations. It could be that you’re more in tune with other people’s emotions which allows you to know exactly what they’re thinking and feeling. Or it could take on a different form in that you seem to know just what’s right around the corner. Embrace it!

VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)VIRGO

This week you could find yourself needing emotional support from people around you. Your emotions can be a little off balance and you’ll probably feel a bit more sensitive than normal. So don’t panic if you have a little cry over something insignificant or seem to fly off the handle over the smallest issues. Because, by the end of the week, you’ll have a real sense of inner calm and balance and you’ll be back to normal before you know it!

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Tensions may arise within some important relationships this week Libra. Don’t worry, it happens to everyone and is nothing to start panicking about! You may find it useful to gain some advice and insight from your elders. They’ll be able to offer some valuable guidance that you’ll be able to use to get your relationships back on track. Sometimes a little bit of conflict can be a good thing. It gives you an opportunity to get everything out in the open and you may even find that your relationships are stronger afterwards.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)scorpio

Sticking to a routine is just not for you this week Scorpio. It’s something that you’re really going to struggle with as you find distractions left, right and centre. A bit like a magpie, you’ll be attracted to all things new, dazzling and shiny but be careful you don’t get too lost in seemingly attractive endeavours as they may not be as fulfilling as you think. Be sure to show your true personality this week as it could lead you to meet some important people that can do wonders for your personal and professional life.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)sagittarius

The single Sagittarius could find new love this week and it may be someone surprising! An eccentric or quirky love interest may be just what the doctor ordered and could keep you occupied for quite some time. For the coupled up Sagittarius, a curve ball could be thrown your way which may liven up your existing relationship. Sometimes all it takes is a little shake up to confirm what you already knew and to strengthen your bond.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

You’ll have to work hard to rid yourself of your fears this week Capricorn. Negative thinking never leads to anything good but it’s easier said than done once you’re in this frame of mind. Worry and doubt will be hard to shake off but it can be done with focus and dedication. You might find that meditation and thinking exercises are invaluable this week. As is speaking to those you trust. People whose opinions you value are the best people to speak to and will help you get rid of your fears.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)aquarius new

A lack of inhibition will serve you well this week Aquarius as you shed all your shyness and welcome a whole new wave of confidence and ambitious energy. During this time you’ll find yourself making new friends and acquaintances and welcoming new faces into your life. But you have to be careful that you’re attracting the right kind of people.

Taking the time to relax will be important this week too. You’ll have to work to stop your week being all go go go but it will be worth it. Whether it’s an evening where you just chill and rest or you do something rejuvenating for the whole weekend, it’s important to take some time.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)pisces

Looking at your budget is a good idea this week Pisces. It’s important to remember that financial losses can come just as quickly as financial gains and they almost always have bigger consequences. So whilst treating yourself to something fun and exciting is often needed, make sure you’re not doing any long term damage with your spending. This week comfort and familiarity will be much more beneficial than big changes so enjoy time spent at home with friends and family.

The History Of Aries

Posted on by sbadmin

Have you ever wondered where the star sign of Aries originated? Let’s take a brief look into its history.

The constellation

The star sign of Aries is based on the physical constellation of the same name. Located in the northern celestial hemisphere between Pisces and Taurus, it represents the first twelfth of the full zodiac cycle and starts from the moment of vernal equinox/the start of spring.

The Aries constellation is relatively dim in comparison to others and possesses only four bright stars: Hamal, Sheratan, Mesarthim, and 41 Arietis. Within the constellation are several pairs of interacting galaxies and several meteor showers appear to radiate from Aries.

Greek mythology

While the constellation is of course natural, it was depicted and named in order to tell a tale. It was named after a ram, a popular animal in ancient Greek myths.

There’s a myth that surrounds Aries. Poseidon, the god of the sea, is said to have turned a nymph into a sheep so that potential suitors would no longer be interested. However, he ended up having to turn himself into a ram so that they could be together. As a result, the former nymph gave birth to a ram with the Golden Fleece. Not only did this ram have a golden fleece, it could also fly.

Ancient Egyptian astronomy

In ancient Egyptian astronomy, Aries was associated with the god Amon-Ra, who was depicted as a man with a ram’s head. Amon-Ra represented fertility and creativity. When Aries was most prominent, priests would process statues of Amon-Ra to temples.

Aries as a star sign

If your star sign is Aries, chances are you’re a courageous leader with a passion for helping others. You rarely hesitate to take charge and you’re only too happy to lead the way, particularly when dealing with things you’re passionate about.

You’re self-reliant, passionate and confident. Although you appreciate the value of a team, you try to avoid relying on other people. When it comes to friendships, you’re reliable, direct and supportive.

Ho’oponopono explained

Posted on by sbadmin

If you’ve never heard of Ho’oponopono, don’t worry, you’re definitely not on your own. Ho’oponopono is not a widely known practice but fear not, we’re going to explain exactly what it is and how it can benefit you.

What is Ho’oponopono?

Ho’oponopono is a healing practice of forgiveness. An ancient spiritual practice that originated in the Polynesian Islands of the South Pacific and later Hawaii, Ho’oponopono brings many benefits to modern living. Originally, it was used as a method for two different island kingdoms to settle their differences and make peace. As time went on, it was adapted to be a means of mediation and conflict resolving between two people. Showing forgiveness is one of the most difficult things in the world for someone to do, yet it is ultimately so simple. Ho’oponopono is about learning to demonstrate forgiveness through ritualistic methods.

There are Four Components of Ho’oponopono

Ho’oponopono is made up of four parts:

  1. Admitting responsibility by being able to say: “I’m sorry.”
  2. Asking for forgiveness by saying: “Please forgive me.”
  3. Being able to express gratitude by saying: “Thank you.”
  4. Giving love by saying: “I love you.”

The focus of Ho’oponopono is to bridge a connection between yourself, your inner being and the Divine. It is not important who you are saying the words directly to and why you feel the need to express some sort of forgiveness. It may be that you have had an argument with a loved one, or you may have let yourself down in some way.

The Benefits of Ho’oponopono

Practicing Ho’oponopono regularly provides many benefits. Those who are experienced in Ho’oponopono are said to have:

  • Reduction of stress
  • Improved mental and physical health
  • Improved relationships with others
  • Better control over emotions
  • A happier life

How You Can Practice Ho’oponopono

You can practice Ho’oponopono whenever you feel like you need to. However there are some specific times when you might find it most useful.

Just before you go to sleep is an ideal time to clear out all the emotions of the day. Say the four phrases in your head or out loud whilst envisioning your desired outcome. It’s not enough just to think or say the phrases, you really have to feel it. Try and put out your intentions into the universe.

You can also use Ho’oponopono immediately after an incident throughout the day. It means you’re less likely to hold onto grudges or feel resentment which can negatively affect your day. For example, you may have a disagreement or falling out with a work colleague. Instead of letting your feelings fester, try Ho’oponopono to forgive and move on.

You don’t have to spend so long doing it, you can spend a few minutes each day before you go to sleep or after an incident practicing Ho’oponopono. You should know when you’ve accomplished your task as you should feel a sense of relief wash over you.

We love the idea of Ho’oponopono as a type of self improvement. Try it and let us know how you get on!

Astrology For The Week Of 19th March 2018

Posted on by sbadmin

ARIES (MARCH 21ST- APRIL 19TH)

aries

One thing’s for sure, technology is not on your side this week, Aries. From internet downtime to broken phones, it may feel like you’re at war with digital devices and nothing is going your way. Take this as a sign that it’s time to embark on a digital detox. Whether you unplug for a day, a week or a month, it’ll do you good to step away from the online world and embrace the real one that surrounds you. Could a spontaneous trip to an unusual destination open your eyes to the things you’ve been missing?

TAURUS (APRIL 20TH- MAY 20TH) taurus

The second half of the month should be much more relaxing than the first, so make the most of the chilled-out week that lies ahead. Try to keep your evenings and weekends a little less structured than usual and enjoy the much-needed downtime.

A weekend surprise could catch you off guard. Don’t overthink it too much. Instead, focus on enjoying the moment and appreciating the people or circumstances that have led you to this moment.

GEMINI (MAY 21ST- JUNE 20TH)gemini

We know you have a passion for helping others, but it’s time to put yourself first and focus on your own needs for a while. The last few weeks may have been challenging, and the bad news is that it’s likely to get worse before it gets better. Hold your head up high and remind yourself that great things lie ahead. You just need to persevere and overcome a few obstacles before you benefit from the amazing life lessons that are to be rewarded.

CANCER (JUNE 21ST- JULY 22ND)cancer

The remainder of March has the potential to be really transformative for you, Cancer. If you’re looking for excitement, we’d recommend jumping in at the deep end and getting stuck into a new challenge. This could involve a new hobby, new job or even a new relationship. Be brave and take those bold moves that you’ve been contemplating for months. You’ll be amazed at the doors that will open for you.

LEO (JULY 23RD- AUGUST 22ND)leo

Prepare to put your creative streak to excellent use, Leo. Your imagination knows no limits and those around you may feel like you’re away with the fairies half the time. Little do they know that the contents of your brain are nothing short of genius. There’s so much untapped energy and wisdom within that head of yours and it’s up to you to make the most of it. Focus on unlocking your full potential this week and you’ll be looking back with a smile on your face for years to come.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23RD- SEPTEMBER 22ND)VIRGO

Your constant desire to put on a brave face may have negative consequences this week, with those around you assuming that you’re this shining beacon of positivity. You may feel like this attitude is the best way to keep people happy, but suppressing your actual feelings and emotions is never healthy.

Your desperation to avoid confrontation could have frustrating consequences this week, Virgo. If you fail to call people out on their bad behaviour, they’ll continue to walk all over you.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23RD- OCTOBER 22ND)

Stop overthinking things and focus on actually doing them, Libra. It’s about time you gave your brain a break from all this self-analysis and worry. Remember, when you worry about the future, you’re robbing yourself of happiness in the present.

Don’t let the pressure you put yourself under take its toll on your body. Eat well, keep active and get plenty of rest.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23RD- NOVEMBER 21ST)scorpio

You’re in the mood to take a big risk but before diving in head first, lay out a plan of action. Having a good idea what you’re going to do before you actually do it will help you achieve the best results. It’ll also allow you to predict potential obstacles that need to be prepared for.

A hot-headed pal may need your support this week. Don’t hesitate to drop non-urgent plans, providing they won’t have negative repercussions on yourself or others.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22ND- DECEMBER 21ST)sagittarius

By the time the weekend comes around, you may feel tempted to speak your mind and tell a colleague exactly what you think of them. Bite your tongue, Sagittarius.  Trust us – you’ll only end up waking up with regrets and spending next week with your head in your hands, wishing you could turn back the clock. At the very least wait until any existing drama dies down and you can approach the situation with a clear head and fresh perspective.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22ND- JANUARY 19TH)

Use your magnificent social skills to your advantage this week, Capricorn. Whether you decide to prioritise old friendships that have been neglected, nurture existing relationships or make new connections, this is a great week to take care of your social circle.

Unfortunately, not everyone can be your pal. If you feel rejected by someone who seems hell-bent on making your life difficult, focus on nourishing your social circle.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20TH- FEBRUARY 18TH)aquarius new

You’ll have to think on your feet this week and make a decision that others are too scared to make. The outcome could go either way but the mere fact you’re the only one to take the leap and use your initiative has the potential to soften the blow and steer you away from hot water.

Those around you are likely to be inspired by your confidence and this could have a positive effect on the world around you.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19TH- MARCH 20TH)pisces

Big changes are on the horizon but only if you grab the bull by the horns and make some moves yourself. You can’t rely on others to change your life for you. Failure to make the most of the opportunities that lie ahead will only leave you feeling full of regret and dwelling on a shoulda, woulda, coulda attitude.

Spring Equinox Celebrations

Posted on by sbadmin

The spring equinox, also called the vernal equinox, is almost upon us. It has long been celebrated as a time of renewal and rebirth.

The spring equinox is a powerful time and can affect us in different ways. And it should be celebrated! Here’s how you can make the most of the spring equinox come the 20th March 2018.

Go outside and connect with the world

Celebrating and reconnecting with the world is important during the spring equinox. The great thing about this celebration is you can choose to do it exactly how you want to. Some people choose to go and watch the sunrise or sunset, some find a long hike through nature beneficial, whilst others decide to stroll through the park, go for a swim or simply have a picnic in the grass. To get the most out of this connection, really try and observe what is happening around you, specifically new life.

Plant new life

The spring equinox is the perfect time to dust off those green fingers and get planting! You can choose to do it inside or outside, whichever you prefer and whichever is accessible to you is fine. Getting your hands stuck into soil is also a perfect way to connect with the world.

Bring the season into your home

There’s no better way to pay homage to the spring equinox than by bringing the season into your home. You can do this in a number of ways. The most obvious way is to bring spring flowers into your home. Some lovely spring flowers include Daffodils, Peonies, Tulips, Narcissus, Hyacinth, Iris and Crocus. Fill your home with these to truly experience the wonder of the equinox.

Alternatively, if you’re allergic or sensitive to flowers, you can use essential oils and scents to renew your home and body. Use peppermint as a detoxifier. It can help rejuvenate your circulation and bring alive sluggish skin. Bergamot is packed with energizing and astringent properties which makes it a beautiful cleansing oil for spring. The aroma of Bergamot is said to be one of the most emotionally balancing and a strong anti-depressant which encapsulates the meaning behind of spring. And Rosewood oil is very calming sedating and so it can be used to help us breathe that bit deeper, empty our mind, and get focused on the things we want to achieve.

Start something new

The spring equinox is all about the new so what better time to begin something new. And it can be whatever you want. You could take up a new hobby, set yourself some new goals, or just develop a new way of approaching life. It’s always useful to make a list of what you want to do to help make it a reality.

Meditate and practice yoga

Celebrate the spring equinox with some meditation. This can help you create inner peace, balance and gives you time to reflect. Your essential oils will help you create your calmness and find your centre. Take this time to think about new beginnings, letting go of the past and the wonders of the world.

How To Choose A Crystal For Someone Else

Posted on by sbadmin

There’s no better feeling than the one you get when you give someone a gift and their face lights up. And if you’re keen to give a spiritual friend something really special, a crystal could be just the thing you’re looking for.

Rather than picking the first pretty crystal you spot, your gift will be more meaningful if you take time to carefully select one with the recipient in mind. No idea where to start? Here’s our guide to choosing a crystal for someone else:

Think about how you can improve your loved one’s life

The number one question to ask yourself when looking for the perfect stone for someone else is: “Which crystal will improve their life?” Have a think about what’s going on in your loved one’s life and delve into the ways their world could be improved.

If they’re suffering from heartbreak, a rose quartz or chrysoprase could work wonders.

If they’re hoping to progress their career, a sodalite, hematite or green aventurine could give them the confidence and strength to achieve success.

If they’re  getting married, having a baby or moving house, take a look at our guide to choosing a crystal for life’s big milestones.

Tap into your intuition

Sometimes, logic can go straight out the window and rather than listening to the sensible and pragmatic side of our brain, we can tune into our intuition and let it guide us. If you’re looking at crystals as a gift, you may see one that jumps out at you. No matter how logical you try to be, sometimes your intuition screams out and tries to take you down a different route. Pay attention to this powerful force.

Question how the crystal will fit into their life

When choosing a crystal, think about where your loved one will keep it and consider whether this location will tie in well with the stone’s qualities. For example, will the recipient want to display it in their home? Will they want to keep it in their pocket? Will they be happy hiding it under their pillow?

Consider the crystal’s appearance

Of course, a crystal’s powers is its most important quality, but when buying a crystal as a gift, it’s wise to think about its appearance too. Don’t be afraid to be superficial and consider the aesthetics of a crystal before covering it in gift wrap. After all, when your loved one unwraps their gift, you want them to be overwhelmed with the crystal’s beauty and proud to show it off.
