I’m on the tail end of my seven week journey away from home. John and I traveled in our RV to Florida where we stayed for six weeks. We then ventured to Charleston, South Carolina for a few days and our last stop before we make our two day trek home, has been enjoying the Asheville, North Carolina area.
I realized today as I’ve been listening to different astrologers about the impending solar eclipse happening on Monday, is that I’d forgotten to post my oracle reading for this new moon/solar eclipse.
But perhaps it is perfect timing as we each contemplate this new beginning that the solar eclipse energies is offering us. What do we want to expand into as a collective and individually? I hope you find the reading helpful to guide you…
After winter months of cocooning it’s time to expand outwardly and sing your song!

I welcome hearing your personal insights so feel free to leave a note in the comment section.
How often it is that we work against ourselves! New Moon in Sagittarius is a time to work with this energy and look at where we can make changes so that we can flow with our True Nature more easily and consistently.
I love the image above of the cat giving a high-five to his human friend because animals see us as we are and love us no matter what!
Hope you find the reading helpful! Check it out here or below. XO, Barb
Listening to a gathering of wise women a few days ago, the theme of the event hosted by Martha Hines, astrologer, was about how we can each be a lighthouse in the world.
I was struck and moved by one woman in particular, galactic astrologer, Julia Balaz, and what she shared.
Speaking in large part to those who are introverts and doing their inner work to help shift the planet into one with more love, compassion, and peace can seem at times like it’s not helping. I can certainly identify with this feeling sometimes.
But I was inspired all over again to keep following the path that is in alignment for me, as that is how I indeed do shine my light, and to remember that it is making a difference. Though, at times it may not be visible or tangible to others in a conscious way or even to myself at times. But just knowing that by being ourselves we plant seeds of inspiration along the way.
Julia shared a practice she does to help others, especially those she loves where she has witnessed this simple but profound affect it can have. Her daughter, now 12-years old, shared that especially when a young child of four or five, when words wouldn’t help, Julia would shift her awareness inward to support her daughter who was going through an emotional time. There she would imagine pink sparkly light flowing through her and extended to her sweet little girl. This would often help shift the energy for her daughter to bring her back into a more peaceful state.
Hearing this, tears came to my eyes and emotions stirred within me. How it is that we can sometimes get bogged down by wishing we could have been seen or heard by a parent when we were troubled as a young child. While it’s important to acknowledge those feelings, how can we then shift out of this space when need be?
As thoughts tumbled through my mind from what Julia had just shared and I related to my own feelings, I looked out my window to see a female cardinal landing on my deck. Immediately my body relaxed, and I let go of thoughts that were spiraling downward.
I thought about how I’m more drawn to the female cardinal than the male. As I sat with this, I realized it is her quiet presence, along with a gentleness and softness she exudes that I was reminded again of the importance of acknowledging and loving our inner child. And as an adult, I am responsible for my needs and doing my inner work which helps the little one within me to be seen and heard…and in turn guides me to be my best self.
One of the symbolic messages of a female cardinal is that of brighter days ahead. That certainly feels fitting given that when we continue to work on the emotional aspects of ourselves that need most healing we indeed find ourselves in a happier place…and shining that lighthouse beam out into the world.
