Well, June certainly was a busy one! Our move ended up being a very rainy day and of course the house was freezing being built in the 1890’s!!!  What with the fireplace doing a good job of burning wood but not heating and the plumbing not working due to tree roots destroying pipes we are slowly settling in and we now have our pussy cat, Michi back home with us from the vets and she seems to be settling in as nicely as are we!  Though I do think it’s the drugs she still has to be on…. Poor puddy tat.

As mentioned last month, my son and I headed to the place of my birth, Perth, Western Australia to celebrate my grandfather turning 90.  What a turnout it was!  It’s actually hard to explain but in a nutshell, I’m adopted and this is all to do with my birth family (I found them when 18) and I was explaining to my son, that I just “fit in” we are definitely a clan, so to speak.  On the way home he said he now understood what I meant about fitting in.  When you’ve grown up with your family, you wouldn’t understand but it is really amazing when you haven’t and you meet this family that you just blend with!!  It was a wonderful time.

For those that have ‘liked’ my facebook page will know that I decided to close down my original page, which was Katrina-Jane Clairvoyant Healing and start up a new one called Katrina-Jane Clairvoyant Medium which ties in with my website and all the rest, I was hesitant about changing over but I was amazed that I had more likes within a week of setting it up than I had when I closed the old one down!  Amazing.  Thank you to everyone.

Did anyone celebrate the Yule festival on the 21st June?  This coincides with the shortest day of the year so that is certainly something to celebrate!  The days are now getting longer as we head into Spring – thank goodness as it’s been a cold one to date.

The next festival coming up on 1st August is IMBOLC –pronounced IM-bolk and this festival is all about celebrating change, we are heralding the Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere and we should celebrate all that takes place during this time. 

What to do at this time of year?  Well, how about clear out the old and welcome the fresh new things into your life.  Even for those that love winter, there does come a time when you just want to be warm again and start seeing the flowers blooming and fresh buds appearing on the trees.

In the US this day is celebrated as Groundhog Day.

Some of the ways to celebrate Imbolc is to get up early and wash your face with the first dew, this cleanses your face and is said to have magical energies.

This is also a wonderful time to clear your home, de-clutter because space clearing is all about finding, creating and maintaining an environment where you feel comfortable and safe.  You will instinctively know what you should get rid of, move to another spot, or completely revamp.  You are constantly growing and changing so you should make sure that your home suits who you are at this time.

Imbolc is a fire festival so if you have an alter light nine candles and place them in a circle – in the southern hemisphere place them anti-clockwise and welcome in the new energy and allow the candles to wash away any old energies that no longer serve you.

Think of this festival as a snake shedding its skin – it’s still a snake but has a new outlook on life.

It’s Never Too Late ……

I was given a book on my 40th birthday with this title by Patrick Lindsay and I’m going to share with you each month, bits of it, I think it gives us all a bit of food for thought ……

It’s never too late to make plans – Start with a small goal because plans/goals bring hope and give you something to look forward to, but be realistic with them and start small at first, and then as you achieve them, make bigger and bigger goals.  You should always have a goal / plan to give you something to aim towards.

Astrology and Crystals

Moon report for July 2012 – by Michelle Oberdorf

Full Moon:

The Full Moon this month occurs on July 3 with the Moon at 12 degrees Capricorn and the Sun in the opposite sign of Cancer at 12 degrees. The Full Moon is a time for letting go and releasing that which no longer serves you. Capricorn is the sign of structure, boundaries, goals, ambition and material security. Cancer is the sign of home and family, sensitivity and emotional security. This may be a time for examining issues around money and security needs, for focussing on the balance between what you do in your work and career in your outer (or public) life, with what you do in your private home life, potentially placing clear boundaries between the areas of work and family.

New Moon:

The New Moon occurs on July 19 with the Sun and Moon both coming together at 26 degrees of Cancer. The New Moon is a time for new beginnings, and for setting goals and intentions around what you wish to manifest. Since this New Moon takes place in the sensitive, emotional, home-based sign of Cancer, it may be time to set goals for the month around developing inner emotional security, feeling safe, and nurturing and supporting yourself regardless of outer circumstances

Tarot Card Readings on Facebook:-

The mini tarot readings that I have been doing via my Facebook page seem to be well received.  For those of you who are unaware of what I have been doing, I have been randomly doing tarot readings on no given day when I am inspired to pick someone who has “liked” my facebook page – So make sure you “like” my facebook page. 

I try to do this at least once a week and usually put a message saying I am going to do 4 readings and then people say ‘yes please” and I randomly select either from them or just from those that have liked my page, this obviously depends on when I have time!! 

But I see it as a little thank you for your support.  The message will be put on my facebook page with your name on it.

So, spread the word and keep an eye on my page!

A message from: – Celtic Goddess Brigit-

Don’t be fearful of change – it can be a good thing in your life.  Sometimes we get too complacent with our lives and a shake-up is needed for us to re-group our energies and get a new focus on where we are supposed to be heading.  At the time, this can be a very stressful and emotional time for you, the change may be in the form of a loved one passing over, losing your job, having to move house, but look at the positives that come from the situation.  Many of you won’t be able to see that in the middle of the emotional time, but when you are able to take a moment and look back, you will see that everything that happened helped you move to a new phase in your life, and that if that thing had not occurred, you would still be living your “old” life.

People may try and talk you out of you changing from their own fear based emotions but if you know that what you are doing is not hurting anyone and that you are happy with what you are doing, stand up for what you know is right – for example if you want to study full-time and know that you are financially able to do it, then do it!  Don’t let anyone say that you are too old.

Services that I offer: 

PSYCHIC PARTIES – I do party groups where everyone has as 15 minute reading – this is lots of fun for baby showers, birthdays, hens nights etc and it’s just $20 per reading.  These readings aren’t burnt to disc because there are usually too many people and it just takes up too much time, but I am able to take notes or the person having the reading can take them if they wish.

FUNDRAISING – I’ve also done a few fundraisers, again which I am happy to do to help a good cause – I usually give a percentage of my takings for the day to help raise funds. 

GROUP OF FRIENDS – If you don’t want to go the whole hog with a psychic party but there are four or so friends that would like half hour readings, I will visit you in your home – as long as it’s within a certain radius of Newcastle!  As long as I have a private spot to sit and water to drink, I’m happy!!!

Types of readings:

I offer a few different ways to have a reading, they are all ½ hour and cost $50AU:-

  1.  Face to face – where you come into my room here at Newcastle and your reading is recorded and burnt to disc at no extra charge.
  2. Telephone – for those that live in Australia
  3. SKYPE – for those anywhere in the world!
  4. Emailed reading – for those that find it difficult to come in for a reading or line a time up for a phone reading or SKYPE.

All readings are just as effective as the other, a face to face reading is no different from a phone reading, I just offer all of the above for your convenience.

Blessed be.

Love and Light Katrina
