Have you ever felt like you’re taking two steps backward only to move forward? That’s the strange energy of Saturn retrograde, a time when we are asked to rethink the foundations of our lives and refine our approach for long-term success. Astrologers see Saturn as the wise architect in all of us. (See previous article: Saturn, The Wise Architect of Our Lives) This planet rules responsibility, commitment, and the structures we build – from careers to relationships. It is not in a hurry: it takes 28.5 years to move through the zodiac and spends about two and a half years in a sign. But once a year, there is a four-month period when Saturn seems to slow down even more and pull back in the sky. Not literally, of course: the retrograde motion is an optical illusion caused by the Earth’s orbit, but it has huge astrological significance on both an individual and collective level. When it slows down, appears to stop, and begins to move backward (or, in astrological terms, stations retrograde, abbreviated SR), then …

In the celestial dance of the planets, Saturn acts as the wise architect, laying the groundwork for our experiences and shaping us into the best versions of ourselves. His role may seem harsh at times, but beneath the apparent limitations, a profound teacher patiently guides us toward mastery.

Saturn rules the fundamental aspects of our lives: the rules and boundaries that provide stability, the sense of responsibility that fuels our drive, and the awareness of our limitations that keep us grounded. Although it can sometimes seem to stifle our dreams, with the right approach, Saturn will help create a framework in which they can flourish. Impressive human achievements: the unwavering focus of an athlete, the tireless dedication of a scientist, the steady hand of a business leader, the enduring commitment of a marriage, and the holding together of a state require qualities that Saturn embodies – discipline, perseverance, and a deep sense of responsibility.

As human beings embodying spiritual essence, we often become susceptible to the influence of our self-centered ego. Some of us exhibit strong determination when it comes to obtaining a desired object or person, leading us to solely concentrate on that specific goal while neglecting everything else around us.

Even when we receive subtle signs from Spirit or gentle reminders from the Universe that guide us towards another path, we often struggle to let go of our fixations and persist in pursuing what might not be meant for us.

The highest power, whether we call it God, Source, Spirit, or the Divine, desires only what is best for us. The Universe will always provide us with what serves our greater good. When we receive guidance from our guides, angels, and ancestors, their messages stem from love rather than any negative intentions such as withholding, exclusion, punishment, revenge, fear, or neglect. Spirit encourages us to lead our lives to the fullest, allowing us to experience abundant love and fostering personal and spiritual growth.

Psychic advisors like myself are sometimes “the messengers who get shot.” We sometimes read for people who get very upset with us when the guidance we receive from Spirit is not what they had hoped to hear.

There are instances when individuals have a fixed mindset and refuse to acknowledge any input or response that contradicts their desired outcome during a reading. In contrast, I truthfully convey the messages I receive from Spirit without alteration.

Trusting the universe means having faith that everything is happening for our highest good, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment ~ Mastin Kipp

To make matters worse, the stubborn demands and obsessions of some of these disgruntled folks involve people and things that they cannot morally, ethically, or legally have! For example, they may insist that someone else’s partner or spouse should be with them instead. In what alternate reality does this kind of thinking ensure good karma and abundant blessings in anyone’s life?

Of course, these situations never end well. I have seen this kind of disastrous scenario play out with numerous clients over the years. It does not take a psychic to know that people who leave their significant other for someone else often end up hurting not only the one they left, but also the person they left them for.

It is often observed that individuals who are unfaithful in one relationship are likely to be unfaithful in future relationships as well. While it may not require extensive scientific explanation, based on my observations, the new romantic partner is often caught off guard when they themselves become victims of infidelity. It is a matter of karma that the consequences of one’s actions eventually reciprocate and affect us in some manner.

The Universe does not operate by randomly placing your loved one in a relationship with someone else when they were actually meant to be with you. Each of us has someone specifically intended for us, according to a source. However, if we are fixated on being with someone else’s partner, we are unlikely to cross paths with our intended match. Demanding to be with a specific person is not how the Universe functions.

Sometimes, despite our belief that we make the best choices for ourselves, we actually don’t. It is not a coincidence that people find themselves in unsuccessful, unhealthy, unsatisfying, or even harmful relationships. These situations arise due to their own arrogance and lack of faith in the natural order and higher power. When we refuse to release control and surrender to a higher force, we can only hold ourselves accountable if things go awry.

When we trust the universe, we open ourselves up to the infinite possibilities that life has to offer, and we invite in the magic and mystery of the unknown ~ Bernadette Logue

Being open to receiving the best possible results from the Universe is the only true path to everlasting happiness, joy and fulfillment. Your perfect partner will come, but you must let go of your attachment to the one person or outcome you did not get so that the right one can come at the right time for the right reason. Let it go.

This principle extends beyond romantic relationships and life partners and can be observed in all the other gifts and blessings we receive.

The job you desired, which was given to someone else, might have appeared as the ideal job for you. However, in the future, you will reflect upon it and realize that it was not the most suitable choice for you. Your dream job will eventually come, but in order for it to manifest, you must release your attachment to the one you didn’t get. By letting it go, you will create space for the right opportunity. Embrace the act of letting go.

In the past, I have made poor choices regarding my ego. One of the most significant experiences was when I was married and my ex-husband betrayed me by cheating and eventually choosing someone else over me. This was a devastating situation at the time, but deep down, I always had a sense of what was happening. My ex-husband strongly opposed my pursuit of Reiki training, psychic development, and other spiritual interests. If he had not ended our marriage for someone else, I would still be stuck in that loveless relationship that I foolishly hoped would last forever. Consequently, I would not be the person I am today, with the ability to teach Reiki, offer spiritual guidance to others, or conduct readings.

After undergoing self-improvement and therapeutic efforts for a couple of years, I regained the ability to engage in romantic relationships. Throughout this journey, I let go of various unhealthy connections and emotional burdens from my childhood. Instead, I trusted in a higher power to bring me my ideal partner at the right time, when I was truly prepared. Now, I am happily married to a man who wholeheartedly supports my professional pursuits, despite not comprehending all aspects of it. His unwavering support encourages me in my endeavors without any conditions.

I understood that I was being guided by the Universe in the ideal direction, timing, and sequence. Putting my trust in the Universe’s path granted me a sense of liberation and joy even in times of doubt. – Gabrielle Bernstein

Another miracle lesson was a house. I fell in love with a property that I wanted to own no matter what. I focused on manifesting the means to get it day and night, to the point of obsession. The house was everything I had always dreamed of, including a beautiful deck overlooking the water and a peaceful neighborhood.

Everything seemed to be falling in place (except that nagging feeling that it was not going to happen). But before our financing was confirmed, someone else had bought it. I was heartbroken.

A couple of years later, the land behind the house was deemed unsuitable by the city and was taken over for the construction of a wider road, which has transformed the area into a bustling and noisy zone. The tranquility and serenity of the property have vanished. However, fate had something more favorable in store for me. Presently, I am residing in a tranquil community just a short stroll away from a picturesque lake (instead of being subjected to the commotion of a busy highway right behind our house). Undoubtedly, this is the small miracle that the universe had in its plans for me!

If Spirit motivates you to release something, consider doing so instead of blaming the messenger. Release your desire to have control over every result. When you embrace the natural course of life, you give space for Source to manifest its wonders. Embrace the unknown and let the Universe delight you. Your life might experience incredible transformations that you never thought possible.

How to Let the Universe’s Magic Take Effect

Ever wondered why some individuals effortlessly attract positive experiences and opportunities in their lives? It may appear as if they possess a secret formula or special ability, but in reality, they have simply learned to let the universe do its work. The universe is continuously working in our favor to bring us what we desire, but we often obstruct its flow by getting in our own way. By understanding and practicing a few fundamental principles, you too can tap into the universe’s power and manifest your dreams.

1. Believe in the Universe’s Power: The initial step in allowing the universe’s magic to take effect is to have faith in its power. Recognize that there is a higher force at play, constantly working in your favor. Develop a sense of trust and belief that the universe has your back and will provide what you need at the appropriate time.

2. Establish Clear Intentions: The universe responds to clarity. Take the time to clearly define what you truly desire. Write down your goals and dreams, being specific about what you want to manifest. The more detailed and focused your intentions are, the easier it becomes for the universe to align with them.

3. Release Control: One of the biggest obstacles to allowing the universe’s magic is our inclination to control everything. Often, we try to manage every aspect of our lives, creating resistance and blocking abundance. Learn to surrender and let go of the need to control every outcome. Trust that the universe knows what is best for you and will deliver it in the perfect timing.

4. Practice Gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful tool for aligning with the universe’s magic. When you express gratitude for what you already have, you signal to the universe that you are open and receptive to more blessings. Make a daily habit of acknowledging and appreciating the abundance in your life, no matter how small it may appear.

5. Take Inspired Action: Although surrendering control is important, it does not imply that you should do nothing. The universe appreciates action, but it is essential to take inspired action rather than forcing things to happen. Pay attention to your intuition and follow the guidance that arises from within. Trust that the universe will present you with suitable opportunities, and take steps towards your goals when they feel aligned.

6. Practice Patience: The universe operates on its own timeline, which may not always align with our desires. It is crucial to practice patience and trust that everything is unfolding as it should. Avoid becoming caught up in a sense of urgency or frustration if things do not happen immediately. Remember that the universe’s timing is always impeccable.

7. Release Limiting Beliefs: Limiting beliefs act as roadblocks that hinder the universe’s magic from flowing into your life. Identify any negative or self-sabotaging beliefs you may hold about yourself or your ability to manifest your desires. Replace them with positive affirmations and empowering thoughts that support your dreams.

8. Surround Yourself with Positivity: The energy you surround yourself with significantly impacts your ability to allow the universe’s magic to work. Seek out positive individuals who uplift and inspire you. Engage in activities that bring you joy and raise your vibration. The higher your energy, the more attuned you are to the universe’s flow.

A long-standing client of mine, whom I have been reading for for several years, recently contacted me to validate something I had always anticipated. Despite the fact that I was not taken aback or even mildly surprised, she expressed that this occurrence completely astonished her.

Throughout the years, she had firmly declared that she would never, under any circumstances, receive any communication from her soulmate again. However, now she has indeed received a message.

In my point of view, it was inevitable. I consistently advised her to remain optimistic and cling onto the profound love they had, as eventually he would return to her. However, she continuously dismissed my words, displaying skepticism and disbelief by saying phrases like “only in my dreams” and “when unlikely things happen.” She simply couldn’t come to terms with the idea that he would eventually reenter her life.

I have to admit that although I expected this outcome for a long time, I found it somewhat interesting because I believed her continuous negative thoughts and emotions about the situation would ultimately hinder her from reestablishing a connection with him. However, even her persistent self-destructive behavior and pessimism were unable to hinder the course of destiny and divine timing. If we are destined to reunite with our soulmate, it will happen no matter what, regardless of whether we have faith in the process or not.

Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, anything is possible ~ Mandy Hale

Our thoughts and words possess a powerful ability to shape our reality. What we believe and express becomes our truth, essentially making us the architects of our destiny. However, if our fate is predetermined and woven into our soul’s purpose, our actions may not have a significant impact. We can unnecessarily prolong or complicate matters, leading to stress, anxiety, and frustration. Nonetheless, if something is meant to happen, it will ultimately occur.

For her, I always saw that this love connection was meant to happen for them in this lifetime — once they both took care of some other soul contract loose ends and unfinished karmic responsibilities. And now it was finally happening, just as Spirit had predicted.

She told me that he had called her and wanted to meet and talk. They met in a coffee shop around the corner from work where he proceeded to tell her how deeply sorry he was for not calling her and how he had been thinking about her all these years.

He then also revealed that he had been in a loveless marriage and had to get out because he could no longer live a lie. Apparently, he had recently thrown in the towel on his wife and had taken some time for himself to do some soul searching. He took some time off work, went on vacation, and apparently gained some clarity of thought so that he could follow the path that would lead him to greater fulfillment.

They ultimately arranged to meet later that night and engaged in conversation until after midnight, reminiscent of their previous habit before life took them in different directions. Presently, they have a planned trip to Mexico and are fortunate enough to be at an age where they can simply relish each other’s company, unwind, and create lasting memories. According to her, life is finally falling into place.

I’m thrilled that he eventually contacted her since she had paused her life while waiting for him. She could have allowed other individuals to enter her life, but she chose to wait for him and dedicate all her energy to him. She always had a gut feeling that he was the right person, despite her disbelief in his return. However, as I’ve mentioned to her before, everything unfolds according to a higher plan.

I’m thrilled that things worked out and they reconciled sooner than expected. She has waited patiently for quite some time.

Understanding The Role Of Divine Timing

If you are going through a similar situation with your significant other or still have hope of finding them, it is important to comprehend the significance of perfect timing and take actions to reach your goal as soon as possible while avoiding any harm.

Destined events in our lives unfold according to a higher plan or purpose. In the context of soulmate relationships, divine timing means that meeting or even reuniting with your soulmate will happen when the time is right, according to the Universe’s plan. Divine timing ensures that when two souls come together, it will be in a way that is purposeful, meaningful, and aligned with the greater plan of the universe.

While divine design does not allow us to choose the time and place for these predestined events to unfold, we can make the process much easier and faster by making the right choices and doing what needs to be done. Here’s how divine timing can affect your soulmate connection and how to best navigate it.

“Prior to meeting your soulmate, it may be necessary to work on your personal growth and development. The concept of divine timing enables you to gain valuable insights, heal from previous hurts, let go of karmic obligations, and evolve into the best version of yourself. By doing so, you will be prepared to acknowledge and value your soulmate once you encounter them.”

Alignment: Divine timing ensures that both you and your soulmate are ready and energetically and emotionally aligned when you cross paths. It orchestrates the circumstances and events that bring you together, whether it’s through chance encounters, mutual connections, or shared interests. However you end up together, it will only happen once you are both in alignment.

Lessons: Sometimes divine timing involves facing challenges or going through experiences that help you grow individually, or as a couple. These challenges serve as opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, strengthening your bond and deepening your connection.

Surrender: Trusting divine timing requires surrendering control and allowing things to unfold organically. You must believe that the universe knows what’s best for you and that your soulmate will come into your life at the perfect time. Some of us need more life experience and hard-earned wisdom to surrender to the universal flow. Until you do, the tide of the life cannot take you to where your beloved is waiting for you.

Divine timing necessitates belief, persistence, and endurance. It involves having faith that although events may not align with your desires or schedule, they are unfolding according to a grander scheme. Patience enables you to stay receptive to signals and chances that guide you towards your perfect match.

Gratitude: When you finally recognize and wholeheartedly embrace the role of divine timing in your connection, you will feel a sense of gratitude for the journey that brings you together. Gratitude will deepen your appreciation for your soulmate when you find each other and you will cherish the connection you share, ultimately fostering a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship.

Spirit encourages us to have faith in the remarkable timing of the divine as we maneuver towards finding our soulmate. Embrace the expedition with steadfast belief, understanding that each bend and curve in the road brings us nearer to the eventual arrival of our beloved.

Embrace the insightful nature of the universe, welcoming patience as your ally and trust as your illuminating force. Acknowledge that each step you take, every lesson you acquire, and every obstacle you conquer is molding you into the individual you are destined to become, and getting you ready to acknowledge and treasure your destined life partner.

Hold onto your belief in your heart, because at the opportune moment, the cosmos will work its mystical wonders and your destined partner will appear, bringing immense happiness, gratification, and an unparalleled bond of love.

Understanding the Significance of Divine Timing in a Soulmate Connection

Finding a soulmate is often described as a rare and profound experience that transcends the boundaries of time and space. It is a connection that goes beyond the superficial, creating a deep sense of understanding, love, and spiritual growth. However, the journey to finding a soulmate is not always straightforward, as it often involves divine timing.

Divine timing refers to the idea that everything happens at the right moment, according to a higher plan or purpose. It is the belief that the universe has a perfect timing for everything, including when two souls are meant to come together in a soulmate connection. Understanding the significance of divine timing can help us navigate the complexities of relationships and trust in the process.

One of the key aspects of divine timing in a soulmate connection is personal growth. Before meeting our soulmate, we often need to go through various life experiences that shape us into the person we are meant to be. These experiences may include heartbreaks, personal challenges, and self-discovery. Divine timing allows us to grow individually so that we can fully appreciate and embrace the soulmate connection when it finally arrives.

Another aspect of divine timing is synchronicity. Synchronicities are meaningful coincidences that occur in our lives, often serving as signs or guidance from the universe. These synchronicities can lead us towards our soulmate by aligning circumstances and events in our lives. For example, you may unexpectedly meet someone who introduces you to your soulmate, or you may stumble upon a book or article that provides insights into your soulmate connection. These synchronicities are not mere chance occurrences but rather the universe’s way of guiding us towards our destined path.

Patience is a virtue that plays a crucial role in understanding divine timing. It is natural to feel impatient or frustrated when searching for a soulmate, especially if it feels like it is taking longer than expected. However, divine timing reminds us that everything happens when it is meant to happen. Rushing into a relationship or settling for less than we deserve can hinder the arrival of our soulmate. Trusting in divine timing allows us to surrender control and have faith that the universe is working behind the scenes to bring us closer to our soulmate.

Divine timing also ensures that both individuals are ready for a soulmate connection. It is essential for both partners to have gone through their own personal growth and healing before coming together. This readiness allows for a healthier and more balanced relationship, where both individuals can support and uplift each other on their spiritual journey. Divine timing ensures that the timing is right for both partners to meet and embark on a soulful connection.

The week begins with a Taurus Moon transit this afternoon, culminating in a Taurus New Moon tomorrow.

During a Taurus New Moon we feel a stronger connection to the physical world, a desire for stability and security in our lives, and increased attention to money, resources and material goods.

It is opportune to evaluate our financial state and reflect on our values concerning riches and belongings during the upcoming days.

During this period, it is a favorable opportunity to establish goals and initiate new ventures. Considering Taurus’s emphasis on steadiness and determination, the intentions formed during this time could revolve around constructing strong bases or developing endurance and persistence in our endeavors.

Additionally, we will discover it more manageable to uphold emotional equilibrium and endurance when confronted with obstacles, and we will be attracted to occasions that invigorate our senses, such as savoring delicious cuisine, indulging in opulence, or immersing ourselves in the natural world.

The Taurus New Moon promotes a slower pace, urging us to be in tune with our bodies and the environment, and prioritize creating a stable and meaningful life that aligns with our core beliefs.

During Thursday and Friday, there is a possibility that you will have a stronger desire to interact with others and communicate verbally. This is due to the influence of the Gemini Moon. It is a favorable period for engaging in social activities, attending gatherings, or simply spending time with friends and family.

During this period, you might also find yourself attracted to lighthearted conversations and playful engagements. It’s a great time to embrace your sense of humor and avoid taking yourself too seriously. However, it’s important to be cautious of the potential impact of Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini, as it can lead to feelings of restlessness. You may experience difficulties in focusing on a single task for an extended period.

On Thursday afternoon, there is the potential for career and entrepreneurial success with the influence of the Gemini Moon and Mercury. This alignment encourages effective communication, creative thinking, and courageous action in the workplace or business domain. It is an opportune moment to utilize your abilities and expertise to attain your professional objectives and strive for triumph in your pursuits.

Set aside the weekend for all things ‘home and hearth’ as the Cancer Moon awakens our longing to hide under the covers or make our homes more comfortable and beautiful. It’s a great time to focus on self-care activities that nurture the soul, such as spending time at home, enjoying a warm bath or indulging in our favourite comfort foods. We’ll also be drawn to spending quality time with our loved ones, whether it’s a cosy evening at home watching a film, cooking a special meal together or simply sharing heartfelt conversations.
