“Full Sun” by Crispin Korchen

Hey everyone! Jeannette  and I have a new course starting tomorrow over at GoodVibeAstrology. com – Purpose, Path and Identity Expansion.

We’re leveraging personal astrology to boost law of attraction, aka manifesting skills.

By tapping talents, skills, aptitude and authentic life pathways – learning how to identify with and follow your personal brand of bliss – you’ll begin to manifest your deepest driving desires.

Over the 6 week course, we’ll explore your path to empowerment via the astrological indicators in the natal chart, including asteroid Karma, and through current transits and progressions.

At the end of this course you will hold in your hands a personalized Rx to activate your sense of empowerment, purpose and direction in life. You’ll also have your Astro-empowerment crystal, synched to your horoscope, to enhance the insights and epiphanies you’ve gained.

Each week has a main topic and will be presented in a recorded group call for you to download and listen to. (These discussion calls are recorded if you can’t make the live call.) You’ll also receive PDF downloads, video tutorials, and have access to the Q&A discussion forum. Includes ‘Hands On’ sessions with student charts. There isn’t anywhere else you’ll find such a strong complement of savvy astrology with LOA expertise.

See you there!

Duration: 6 weeks
Cost: Free to GVA Circle Members. If you are interested in taking it as a standalone, please Email Kim & Jeannette for available seats.

Start Date: January 27, 2015

Course Outline

Week #1 – The Sun as Identity Introduction to the astrological chart as a guide to Purpose, path and Identity, and how the law of attraction can set you on a road to fulfilling your desires. You’ll explore signs of talents, natural resources, empowerment and where to go to develop these qualities – particularly the Sun. Focus is on the Sun and solar aspects, and the notions of authenticity and awareness. Full of LOA techniques to help you align with who you want to be.

Week #2 – The Ascendant as the Magic Mirror Here you explore the Ascendant sign, decan, dwad and aspects and the nature and benefits of a fluid, shifting identity. Different situations call for different aspects of yourself, and the Ascendant can help us morph into alignment with just what we desire. You’ll focus on the evolving nature of the life path and spot those signposts in each others charts. This gets you into the perfect-for-you energy alignment to be everything you can possibly be.

Week #3 – The Nodes and Acting ‘As If’ Here you will discover the Lunar nodes and how they describe the paths, choices and forks in the road. Learn more about your own empowerment, what is well developed and what wants more focus as you explore this power points in the chart. The idea of ‘acting as if’ is practiced, on the group call and in the forum, along with other techniques to help you shift into the person you want to be.

Week #4 – Releasing Resistance; Embracing Excitement Consciously or unconsciously, all of us can resist our greatest potential, and astrology and the law of attraction are powerful indicators to identify where we ‘hide’ our path to success, and why. This week identifies any denial, releases resistance and amps up your greatest self-awareness! You will discover where your asteroid ‘Karma’ is, what it means and the reason certain goals and ideas excite you so much.

Week #5 – Making Choices When the Time is Right Often the path to Purpose, Path and Power is paved with choices. Which way do we go? The timing, and direction, of opportunities is revealed in the astrological chart, synchronicities and awareness through appreciation of what we attract. This week looks at transits, progressions and how you can leverage your astrology to make the ‘right for you’ choices and live the life you desire.

Week #6 – Hands on Chart Work and LOA Tools The final week includes a call-in discussion and forum participation resulting in your Astro-LOA Rx for boosting your sense of purpose, life direction and awareness of fluid identities. You’ll finish up this course with a clear set of goals and Astro-LOA tools, including your personal planetary crystal guide designed specifically for you to increase your sense of identity, power and ability to attract what it is you desire.

Duration: 6 weeks
Cost: Free to GVA Circle Members. If you are interested in taking it as a standalone, please Email Kim & Jeannette for available seats.

Astro-LOA Flash: With the majority of planets in the fixed signs of Leo and Scorpio, the feeling is “stick with it.”

This is fabulous if you want to put extra miles on a project, are involved in #NaNoWrMo, or are on the final lap in accomplishing a long cherished dream.

It can also feel like wading through wet cement.

If you’re experiencing the latter, relax, and breathe, breathe breathe.

Aries – the ram

Astro-LOA Flash: The sun over the Zero Degree Aries Point heralds the equinox, a festival of magnificence!

Whether you are ‘springing forward’ or ‘falling back’, this is strong juju, energy to move your forward along your path.

Wherever Aries is in your chart, fireworks go off, bells ring and eyes light up! Glimpse a sense of purpose and renaissance of spirit as your desires, vitality and drive seek to express in the world.

Yes yes, Mars, the ruler of Aries, is retrograde, but you will feel this like an inner victory dance no matter what!

Appreciate NOW everything that is working out in your life as well as your desires for the future.

As the first degree of Aries, this point suggest how our “will to be”, or sense of I AM, moves out from the subjective and into manifest reality. Ask:
What am I creating today?

Where Aries is in the chart is where our inner warrior is ready, willing and able to stake our claim, stand up for our rights, boast of our accomplishments and assert, initiate, proclaim and adventure. He is also ready to PLAY, compete and revel in the creative energy of life. Do you let him?

The designers of the zodiac denoted (ARIES) by the symbol of the ram, noted for the ‘directional force’ of its headlong charge. Yet curiously in some old zodiacs the ram is shown not charging, but with its head turned to look back on itself, and the direction from whence it has come.

This gesture seems to tell us something important about the relationship of consciousness and self-awareness to the forward movement of the universe, namely that awareness is oriented in the reverse direction to the thrust. Mysteriously, consciousness and will face different ways. – Dennis Elwell 1987

Dennis Elwell goes on to discuss what boils down to our orientation in time and space. The point being, awareness doesn’t necessarily travel from the past into the present into the future. Possibly, it is quite the opposite. Read more here . . .

Are you in touch with your Mars? Is he expressing by signs, house and planet in authentic ways? Are you the boss in your Aries house? Calling the shots and self-directing, especially in that area of life? Check where your 0 Degree Aries Point is in your chart before you answer, then welcome the Equinox. Connect to this powerful and pro-active, playful, assertive side of your life.

Let us know if you need help finding where Aries is in your chart.

Quick list of the 12 houses:

1st house – Appearance, personality traits, outlook on life
2nd house - $$$, resources, talents, peace of mind
3rd house – Teaching, learning, writing, talking, connecting
4th house – Home, family, ancestors, emotional ground
5th house – Creative expression, offspring (books/kids etc), romance
6th house – Health, pets, daily routine, magic

Reflections on Mars Rx

Loving in Reflection by Rave250

Mars is about to ‘stop’ in the sky (metaphorically)  and turn retrograde, just before hitting the exact conjunction with the North Lunar Node.

Even though we like to initiate new things on the new moon (March 1), think of it as a reflecting time in your journey, a chance to go back over anything set in motions late last year when Mars entered the sign of Libra.

Libra is an idealistic, objective AIR sign, interested in collaboration, union and partnerships of all kinds. Aries linked Mars, on the other hand, is all about leading, directing and being the independent contractor.

Libra by HOUSE is an area of life where we need to share our ideals, socialize, experience beauty and refinement and accommodate to the needs of others so we may have ongoing relationships and unions. You can imagine how Mars will stir things up! The finely tuned balance between self-direction (I am) and collaboration (we are) must be found and expressed through ideas, companionship and artistic creation.

Mars Rx in Libra asks us to reflect on these notions of balance, sharing AND independence, will AND willingness.

The key here is to allow for reflection before you set new intentions. This is not about push, try, struggle. Just the opposite, and Mars, who is the KING of PUSH, may resist this reflective time. He just doesn’t always want to sit still.

If you have resistance to relaxing, Jeannette Maw has some excellent hints and tips. If life seems to have turned uber emo, check out Janette Dalgliesh’s Dealing with Emotional dilemmas. Jeannette’s Relaxing in the Rapids is a great metaphor as well.

Times for Mars through the Rx zone – thank you Cafe Astrology.

Nodal Shift Afoot

Serpiente alquimica – Ourorboros

Astro-LOA Flash: After close to two years in the sign of Scorpio, the North Lunar Node (which moves in a retrograde direction) has transited into the sign of Libra.

Think ‘personal relationship and the perspective gained from collaboration, sharing and working together.’

For a recorded discussion of the nodes, go to Free Astro-LOA at GoodVibeAstrology.com

Because the South Lunar Node is always directly opposite of the North, it has moved from the sign of Taurus to Aries. The balance we are creating is between the ‘I am’ and the ‘we are’. Where there is aggression, we can find compassion. Where there is self-denial, we can gain independence and distinction. Look to 29 Aries and Libra are in you chart to see the houses, or areas of life, to focus on. No rush. We have this polarity activated for the next 18 months.

The Nodes represent a cycle of energy – The North Lunar Node, the Dragon’s Head or Caput Draconis, draws us toward new horizons of experience. It represents the areas of life where we can, with conscious effort and choice, break new ground and obtain valuable new experiences. Like the Sun, exalted in Aries, the North Lunar Node, when approached with courage, awareness and a sense of new possibilities, brings consciousness and growth. It can be our highest excitement!

The and the South Lunar Node, also known as the Dragon’s Tail or Cauda Draconis, draws us into the ‘past’. This represents instinctive desires that call us back to a place where we feel, if not comfortable, at least familiar. Like the Moon and her association with intuitive impulses, the South Lunar Node can operate without conscious volition. It is an instinctive response.

Howard Sasportas put it like this: “Pretend you are going on a trip and you have your bag ready to pack. The South Node represents everything you have included for your journey; the North Node represents the things you gain along the way.” I love that metaphor!

In terms of deliberate creation, the Nodes can show us where we might be resisting out next big thing, offering ideas of how to release fears and attachments to outcome so we can live our most fulfilling and happy lives.

Astro-LOA Tip of the week from Jeannette Maw: When you want to manifest something new, there’s a powerful question to answer that paves the way there. What does it feel like (to have it)?

NOTE: I often see the Nodes, activated by transits, synastry or relocation, representing people. In other words, the message of the Nodes is usually delivered by a compelling (or repelling-but-memorable) other. Something to keep in mind!

Let me know your recent experiences. Where is this shift in your chart? What have you noticed so far? How do you use the chart to find relief?

LON – Sat – 5:11 pm
SYD – Sun – 4:11 am

The Solstice, mid-winter or mid-summer is a turning point, a day we have celebrated for thousands of years. The sun crossing the Cardinal Points (or ‘Aries’ Point, in this case 0 Capricorn) is symbolic of endings and new beginnings. In the northern hemisphere, the

sun ‘dies’ to be reborn the next morning as it crosses 0 degrees of Capricorn. From then on, the days begin to lengthen and all is renewed. For us in the Southern hemisphere, it’s still 0 Capricorn but from now on the days are getting shorter! In either case, this is a beautiful time to set intentions for yourself, your loved ones and the world community.

This year we have a powerful activation of the Uranus/Pluto square by Mars in Libra. Check all four Cardinal ruled houses in your chart to see where to take action and move forward with your dreams. Tutorial Here.

Hints for setting powerful intentions this Solstice:

Follow your highest excitement! (Tips on the GoodVibeBlog.com)

ARIES: Your career takes a turn for the better with a chance to take on more responsibility for greater reward. Ask: Do you light up in a smile when you think of your life work?

TAURUS: Take your mind, body or spirit somewhere it’s never been before—meditate, travel, read, learn. Ask: are you holding yourself back from your real dreams?

GEMINI: Intimacy, transformations and intensity will light your fire. Go ahead and take a risk. Ask: are you playing it safe with your deeper goals?

CANCER: Partnership is the focus and you will benefit by assessing the relationships in your life. Ask: do you feel free to be who you are with others?

LEO: Putting energy into the body, health and physical well-being brings fabulous results! Ask: are you getting enough exercise every day? Enough ritual?

VIRGO: Creativity springs from a well of romance. Write, play, choreograph, sing, act. Ask: are you allowing for love in your heart.

LIBRA: Clean the house, wash the windows, clear the air, especially with family and intimates. Ask: is your home a true reflection of you?

SCORPIO: Start a new course of study, join a community project, get friendly with the written or spoken word. Ask: is there anything you’d like to learn or teach?

SAGITTARIUS: Indulge yourself in sensuality –baths, long walks in nature, massage, fine food, expansive vistas. Ask: Do you know your world through the senses?

CAPRICORN: This is a new chapter in your life. Open the door to your dreams by showing up! Ask: is your life an accurate reflection of who you want to be?

AQUARIUS: Commune with your unconscious. Take time to record and reflect on your dreams. Ask: are you deep in the well of your creative heart?

PISCES: Friends and like-minded others are a source of inspiration if you’re hanging out with your own kind! Ask: are these birds really of your feathers?

July Tip O’ the Month

Tags

‘In the Forest of Arden’ by John collier. Oil on canvas.

The month of July begins with the ongoing Mercury Retrograde.

Remember the most supportive approach is to reflect on the thoughts, actions and events experienced in the house where you find 13 – 23 degrees of Cancer. Put some quiet, nurturing focus there, and practice the art of Self-compassion. The more you treat yourself with reverence and care, the more the world blossoms around you.

On the 4th, the sun squares Uranus as the moon moves into Gemini. Expect some sudden, unexpected news that has your eyes popping. By the end of the first week, the Moon is conjunct Mars and any repressed emotions are likely to roil around with potential eruptions. Better out than in, but it’s a dark moon, just before the new. If you have to vent, take some time to identify what the real issue is. Hint: It’s more than meets the eye.

The New Moon is on July 8th/9th. Set clear and powerful intentions, especially in the house where you find 16 degrees of Cancer, and remember, that’s where Mercury is transiting Rx right now. This is not an area of life you want to ignore.

NEW MOON @ 16 CANCER
LA – Monday    12: 15
NY – Monday    15:15
LON – Monday  20:15
SYD – Tuesday  05:15

Saturn also goes direct on the 8th meaning events from mid-November 2012 rise up for resolution. You may feel yourself flung back into energies of that time, or perhaps you see those events with a new clarity. Either way, you gain new resolve and strength, and move on!

Mars glides into the signs of Cancer on the 13th, bringing even more heat to this area of your chart. Taking an active, pioneering approach to love, nurturing and self-care is the go. It’s like you become a warrior of love. Troubadour even. By the time Moon gets to Libra, July 14th – 16th, all relationships are put to the test. Use these results to make action plans for the future. What do you really want here?

Uranus turns retrograde on the 17th. This may be felt in the house where you find 12 Aries. Don’t panic if there is a wee setback. It only means you can move forward soon from an even stronger position. Jupiter trines Neptune on the 18th, a brilliant combinations for all artistry, creative expression, spiritual growth, travel and expansion. Hold off on doing the taxes until after the 21st. It’s not an analytical vibe. Romantic notions can be fun though. Explore.

NOTE: Saturn trines Neptune on the 19th, but basically it’s in play all of July. This is about making ‘real’ (Saturn) your biggest dreams and longings (Neptune). Feel the inspiration here, and appreciate how far you have already come!

Mercury turns direct on the 20th/21st, but give the messenger of the gods a few days to get the momentum up. By August 4th, he’s out of the Rx ‘zone’ and ready to rock.

Celebrate the full moon @00 Aquarius on the 22nd, just as the Sun goes into Leo, and Venus into Virgo. Mars also conjuncts Jupiter in Cancer, a once every 12 year event! It will feel like a changing of the guards, new energy and new enthusiasm. Go! Go! Go!

By the time Moon is in Aries on the 27th, you will be looking to ditch any plans that aren’t panning out. Sun square Saturn on the 28th is a serious vibe. Watch the self-talk. If you don’t support ‘you’, who will? It begins as an inside job, so model the behaviors you want to experience in life by being that to yourself!

The Month winds down with Moon in Taurus trine Pluto, an excellent $$ vibe, and supportive of ‘taking care of business,’ including sensual pursuits. Venus trines Pluto on the 30th/31st! Don’t be shy. Do make a wish!

Have a wonderful month, everyone. Comments and insights welcome!

“Clairvoyance” by Rene Magritte

Mercury turned retrograde, an apparent backward motion, on the 26th of June and will continue Rx, from 23 degrees of Cancer to 13 Cancer.

Listen to our free monthly recording on Mercury Retrograde It’s About Time.

From there, on the 20th of July, Mercury turns around again, picking up full speed (and out of the Rx zone) by August 3rd. If you know where 13 – 23 degrees of Cancer fall in your natal chart, you can see what house(s) this is lighting up! Tutorial here.

Note also that Jupiter has just moved into the sign of Cancer, to remain for the next 12 months. Use this Mercury Rx to unkink any vibes you have in your Cancer house(s) so you can welcome the abundance of Jupiter unhindered. Questions and comments welcome.

With Mercury Rx, you want to rethink, reconsider, review, reevaluate ideas and FEELINGS in the house where Mercury is transiting. Ask, what constitutes love and nurturing to me? The most primary way you can improve your life at this time is to boost self-Love!

Love yourself despite what you thought were your shortcomings: your character flaws, your love handles, low credit score, police record, your failed marriage, cluttered house, negative thoughts. Love yourself unconditionally. – Jeannette Maw – read more on how to boost self-love!

Remember Mercury Rx is a Trickster energy. It comes along when we are stuck, or a feeling trapped, out of touch with authenticity of SELF. When we get into such a state, sooner or later the Trickster will blow the doors and windows open so we can breathe fresh air again. In the sign of Cancer, the trickster turns our inner, emotional world upside down, so we can get ourselves correct.

Here are scopes based on the ‘solar houses’ sign (your sun sign), or the actual house Mercury is transiting, if you know it. Read both, if they are different. Love to hear of your experiences in the comments!

ARIES: Mercury in the 4th house – Thoughts turn to home life, family and symbiotic connections. Give yourself enough ‘me’ time to appreciate recent inner growth and development. Ask what family means to you. Home? Is there anything you believe that could be limiting your experience of others? Listen. Love. Reflect!

TAURUS: Mercury in the 3rd house – The Mercury Rx puts the Trickster in control of your tongue. You say one thing and they hear another. Emails, sans body language, get misconstrued. Don’t even think about sending text msg without punctuation. But it’s excellent for revising manuscripts or creative projects put on the back burner. Go there!

GEMINI: Mercury in the 2nd house – Use this Mercury Rx to get in touch with what really gives you a sense of peace and happiness, then let go of the outmoded core values and actions. Awareness is the first step. It will lead to skill and talent development that is more authentic than you ever though possible. Expect a clean fresh $$ Vibe.

CANCER: Mercury in the first house – Mercury Rx meanders through your home, work, Self and relationship life. Everything! Best reflect on what you believe about what you do, where you do it, whom you do it with. How? Just set an intention to notice the things you like about your life and smile. Exhale and limitations are going, going, gone.

LEO: Mercury in the 12th house - With Mercury Rx in your solar 12th house, it’s time to go ‘in’ and listen to your dreams. Not daydream fantasies of achievement, goals, challenges and actions, but really sink deep into the depths of your soul. What messages are welling up from there? Watch for synchronicity, tune into feelings, receive.

VIRGO: Mercury in the 11th house – Mercury Rx in your 11th house of friends and groups can turn the usual gatherings into a mix of emoticons, all rolling about in different directions. The question is how do you feel? Allow for a new view when it comes to social connections, and find ways to relax amid the tension. Gems emerge when you aren’t looking.

LIBRA: Mercury in the 10th house – Career, mission or profession can feel like a dream time journey, with the auto focus weaving in and out! This is good news! For the next three weeks you let go of trying to micromanage your future and ‘make things happen.’ Let your neurons relax so the universe can open new doors to infinite possibilities!

SCORPIO: Mercury in the 9th house -Travel or study plans turn into the trickster’s playground for the next three weeks. Deep breaths. Remember, it’s not about forging ahead right now, but finding peace and serenity in the midst of contrast. Take time out to reconsider your world view. Is it what you think, or what you are expected to think?

SAGITTARIUS: Mercury in the 8th house – Mercury Rx in your house of shared resources has you reconsidering any joint financial arrangements, both income and debt. As you sift through possibilities, you’ll discover creative ways to organize and restructure the boundaries to your liking. You decide, but not yet. Let it marinate for a while. Go have fun.

CAPRICORN: Mercury in the 7th house – Communication with partners, practical or intimate, goes a bit zany– muddled and/or blurred! It’s not the best time to come to any conclusions as wires get crossed. Use your gut feelings to make choices that can’t be delayed, and ask what you believe about partnerships. Rethink your relationships, without judgement.

AQUARIUS: Mercury in the 6th house - Mercury Rx through your 6th house of well-being says reconsider your lifestyle.

Welcome to the Season of the Eclipse, everyone!

May opens in the calm before the revelation as Mercury enters the sign of Taurus. It’s a VERY short stay and you’re going to want to tune into your ‘Taurus House(s)’ to see what’s being triggered rapid fire. (Really, the messenger of the gods is traveling double time, two degrees a day!) Though in the steady, methodical, cool sign of Taurus, you can expect news flashes in the first half of the month. Most likely they’ll be around practical things like survival, $$, work, sex, food, you know, the basics. Heads up! By the end of week one, there will be five planets and the south node in the sign of the Bull. This is where you deal with that area of life. No exceptions. If anyone is uncertain how to find their Taurus House(s), this tutorial will help.

Back to the eclipses. We are in the zone – three eclipses in 30 days! The lunar eclipse on April 25th started us off with the full moon in Scorpio. This marks the beginning of the shift of eclipse pairs from Gemini-Sagittarius to Taurus – Scorpio, something we haven’t experienced in nine years. The next eclipse in the season is May 9th, a solar, or new moon, eclipse at 19 Taurus.

New Moon Eclipse @19 Taurus on May 9th
LA –  Thurs – 5:29 PM
NY –  Thurs – 8:29 PM
LON –  Fri – 1:29 AM
SYD –  Fri – 10 :29 AM

Again, look to where you have this degree in your chart (ask for help if you get stumped) because that’s where you want to get your life correct, set new intentions and tune in to some sensual pleasure. This is Taurus, after all. If a little’s good, a lot is better. Seriously, play in some earthly delights, for the goddess’s sake! Speaking of the goddess, Venus shifts into the sign of Gemini just before the eclipse on the 9th. It’s ultra social, playful, zesty, flirtatious and carefree. Diarize yourself some time for this too!

By mid-May, Mercury moves into the home sign of Gemini and the long ongoing Uranus – Pluto square will be exact again.(11 Aries square 11 Capricorn) This is where contrast is showing you what you really want so that you can break out of limiting beliefs, experiences and situations and recreate the life you desire. It’s a breakdown to breakthrough energy that’s working as your ally to shift stubborn resistance. To the degree that you can, allow, let go and allow some more. When reality feels like a brick wall, shift your focus on a dime. You totally can do this!

May 20th is the ingress of sun into Gemini giving us four planets in this sign with an elemental shift to AIR. Think more objective, breezy, curious, social and spacious. It’s going to help with a new perspective, I promise. On the 24th is the third of three eclipses, the final one in the Gemini-Sagittarius family for nearly a decade. The Gem – Sag sector in your chart will indicate where the pressure comes off. This eclipse pulls in Neptune so it can be crazy magical-creative-romantic (with an emphasis on crazy) or it can get downright slippery. Again, focus on where you want to go, not what’s getting in the way! (from Jeannette Maw’s article above, ‘How to come out of a spin‘.)

Full Moon Eclipse @4 Sagittarius on May 24th
LA –  Fri – 9:24 PM
NY –  Sat – 12:24 AM
LON –  Sat – 5:24 AM
SYD –  Sat – 2:24 PM

On the last day of the month, Mercury moves from Gemini to Cancer (note the quicksilver god has been in THREE signs in three weeks. Thoughts, perspectives and consciousness shifts expected! Mars also moves into Gemini on the 31st making everyone more communicative, or at lease, desirous of being heard.

The key things to remember are: New Moon Eclipse on the 9th, set intentions in your Taurus house (what that area of life means to you). Mid-month, note the exact Uranus/Pluto square. This is a long term transformation. Stay positive and release resistance. (rule of thumb:  if it hurts, you’re resisting). May 24th, Full Moon Eclipse at 4 Sagittarius. Think of this as a release point. What is it you are ready to set free so that you can expand, explore and become more of who you are?

Happy May, everyone!

An Angel Affair by Michael Parkes

Is this one of your manifesting tools?

Today’s post first appeared at The Good Vibe Blog. Reblogged here with permission from Jeannette Maw

Recently I listened to a GVU call by relationship coach Lisa Hayes. It was part of her series on Dating in the Vortex and focused on Lisa’s “two list” approach to attracting new or improved love.

Since this is the topic of our upcoming three call series at GVA, I thought to revisit these ideas here.

On the call, Lisa read us a client’s LONG list of her ideal date. It was as detailed as a Briggs-Myers personality test, only more personal and included a CV, physical traits, emotional responses to a wide range of situations, minimum bank balance etc. etc. The only thing missing was Sun, Moon and Ascendant sign and of course, Venus and Mars! (None of us do that, right?)

Lisa’s point – specifics might actually be limiting if we aren’t listing how we want to feel. (who cares what their annual income is, make model and car registration # and favorite restaurant if we aren’t feeling the love?)

This example got me thinking about list making altogether, especially when it involves another person.  Isn’t that conditional love?  The thought of someone ticking off my appearances, traits, IQ and emotional responses feels . . . odd. Actually, it’s kinda creepy.

Are we missing the point of relationship when we preordain what the ‘other’ must be like?

Maybe, but don’t get me wrong. Lists are valuable. They tell us things about ourselves. For example, if I make a my new sweetie (MNS) list and it goes like this: MNS is rich, smart, funny, gorgeous, adventurous, independent, fit, must love cats . . . what does this say about me?

It says, I want to be rich, smart, funny, gorgeous, adventurous, independent, fit and surrounded by cats. The list is never about ‘them’. It’s about us, and when we get that, we can stop ‘needing’ others to be x,y or z, and be that ourselves. Then, we enjoy the new sweetie for who they are.  Period.

Besides showing us what we want to become, the MNS list can point out why we want what it is we want. Armed with that knowledge we can get to the feeling place now, before MNS shows up. Does everyone know the “why do I want that” exercise? It’s so insightful.

1) Start with a current desire. It might be I want to date a man with $$$. Underneath that statement ask, why do I want that? It might go like this:

I want to date a man with $$$

Why do I want that?

So I don’t have to pay for everything myself

Why do I want that?

So someone besides me steps up for a change

Why do I want that?

So I feel special

And there it is. In this case, I don’t give a hoot about their bank account. What I really want is to feel special. And this is an inside job. As Ean Begg says, When we stop expecting other people to fulfill us, we can begin to fulfill ourselves. Does that leave the door open for true relationship, or what?

The other great thing about the MNS list is, it tunes our radar for new possibilities. If I say my sweetie is generous, kind, hot, funny, smart, sporty etc I’m cuing my unconscious that these things do exist! Like they say, I’ll see it when I believe it, and the list helps me believe. For those who think relationships suck, or that men/women are untrustworthy, lists can help shift the vibe to a better feeling place.

How about you?

Do you make lists for dates, partners, perfect clients, agents, others? Or do you connect with people from scratch, where who they are and what they look like and how they think is of no concern because you know, if they are in your space, they are a vibrational match? Combination of the two?  I’d love to hear your thoughts (and lists)!
