Transformation is the key word for the next 30 days. “You” Re-Creating You!  The truth is that “You” are more powerful than you may know and that your thoughts create your reality. 

Scorpio is the money sign and we are currently  in “The Money Alliance” cycle in astrology offering the creation of prosperity in our future. So “purge” the old and “plant” the new.  Sow your prosperity seeds!

The Prosperity Root Chakra

Our personal power and well-being originate in the root/first chakra. This center, situated in the energy field at the base of the tailbone, welcomes our spirit into our body and creates the necessary foundation with which we can begin life’s journey. Activated at birth when the umbilical cord is cut, it channels the life force into our physical body, concentrating its flow on the area from the tailbone down through the feet, helping us establish our footing and take our place in the world.

Our root/first chakra’s primary function is to assist us in meeting our basic needs for survival gracefully and with ease. Its mission statement is “I want, I need, give me, give me now!” It focuses our attention on what we need day to day in order to survive, and it stimulates our ability to reach out for and demand fulfillment.  It keeps us from internalizing the chaos of the world and helps us refrain from joining the chorus of “I can’t, I won’t, I’m afraid,” from which so many people suffer. It supports us in staying connected to our true spiritual source and creates a sense of belonging, of feeling wanted, of being a part of the community and of feeling worthy and worthwhile.

Purge for Prosperity

Are you in harmony with what you want?

If you are angry and frustrated, this is resistance. When your fearful and negative, you push away the very abundance and well-being you seek.  Instead, be proactive, forward focused and stay out of fear.

The root/first chakra can hold many negative emotions, feelings and thoughts concerning money and abundance that block us from receiving what has been intended for us to have; to experience, have and enjoy true joy and abundance.

Practice daily keeping your mind, spirit, heart and physical body clear of all negativity by clearing your chakras daily by listening to my guided healing chakra meditation and use this New Moon energy to set your serious intention. Scorpio inspires determination, and the courage to face inner demons and resistance, to break through to the other side.

The New Moon sets the stage for setting new goals, hopes and wishes. I suggest writing in a journal at least 5 but no more than 10 wishes within 48 hours after the New Moon. The optimal time would be within the first 8 hours.

Some suggested goals or wishes as it relates to this New Moon might be:

 “I am easily able to make the positive changes I need in regards to ______”

“I easily feel confident in the areas that are changing for me now”

“I easily find myself forgiving __(fill in the blank)___ in a way that is empowering for me”

“I allow positive change to enter my life”

“I easily find myself with the strength I need to make the changes that are in my best interest”

“I easily find self-mastery over my bad habit of _______”

 “I easily find myself prosperous and abundant in my __ (fill in the blank)_and receive the money I need”

 “I easily find myself taking the right actions that lead to me becoming debt free”

Everyone knows the proverb that money makes the world go around. Given how most of us feel about money, this may be only a slight exaggeration. The task of earning and managing money dominates many of our waking hours and our personal relationships are often affected by the intense emotion associated with it. Exploring money and how we relate to it, therefore, feels somewhat like bringing up an uncomfortable topic at a dinner party.

Why bother discussing it then?  Simply put, understanding the principles of money can help you manage your physical, mental and spiritual health.

Money is energy. Each dollar, nickel or penny in your pocket represents a unit of energy, specifically the energy you invested to earn it. You can use that unit of energy to get the things you want and need, things in which other people invested their energy to produce. This energetic nature of money is clearly evident in its development.

The money we earn can serve as an excellent barometer of our current energy conditions. The emotions we experience as we work are stored not just in our bodies, but also in the money we earn. The value of the money we possess infuses with the emotional energy experienced as we earn it. If we hate what we do for a living, our earnings stand for kind of sacrifice. Every paycheck seems diminished because the work never seems equal to the effort. In contrast, when we love what we do, the money takes on very little extra meaning.. it is just money.

Of course, whether earned in suffering or joy, that money does represent a certain value in society. The money we bring in and accumulate allows us to purchase goods and services. We may have positive or negative feelings about the amount of money we have stored, depending on the lifestyle we desire.  The more expensive our target lifestyle, the stronger our feelings about our monetary worth will be and the more intense our feelings if dissatisfaction will be if our earnings do not allow us to afford the lifestyle we desire.

However, we can learn to generate and accumulate money in a way that empowers us. The key is to have a clear and realistic purpose with regard to earning and saving money. Money, like Ki-energy, must circulate to remain healthy. It can be accumulated and stored to increase power. But it must be used or else it will stagnate. To use money does not mean to simply spend it, but rather to invest it. Investing some of your money towards the fulfillment of your life goals keeps it circulating and gathering value.

Ask yourself, “What is the purpose of earning money? Why do I need money?” Draw a clear relationship between money and how you plan to attain your specific goals. As you may have experienced, there are many times when the purpose of earning money is not clear to you as you thought. Money is not an extension of our identity. If we begin to equate our self-worth with our monetary worth, we create a false sense of self. The key is to realize that our true selves are far more powerful than any amount of status gained through money, and that money is simply an energetic tool to be used for the creation of a purposeful life.

Just as we can break the connection between our identity and our earnings by investing in the fulfillment of our life goals, we can dissipate the undercurrent of fear in our transactions by making sure our regular expenses do not exceed our regular income. This is commonly called budgeting. For a budget to reduce anxiety, it must not be designed out the same fear already connected to how you spend money. The start of this process is very simple, just pay at least as much attention to the energy half of your transactions as you do the monetary half.

You have already taken the first step; the awakening that money is energy. With this insight, practice paying attention to how you feel when you deal with money. Continue watching until you can see your behaviors, actions, and feelings around money. For the sake of your budget, write them down. Record how you actually spend your money and what you feel during each transaction. Then comes the hard part, accept. Without judgment, accept that this record of your expenses reflects your current spending habits and the emotional attachments related to them. Once you have completely exposed your relationship to how you spend your money, you can choose with confidence how you want to spend it going forward.

Ultimately the goal here of exploring money as energy is not just about improving our relationship with money; it is about empowering ourselves to create more fulfilling lives. The missing link between a renewed awareness of money’s energetic nature and living a more fulfilling life understands the source of the fears surrounding money. All of our fears around money are based on a simple, yet powerful belief, that the resources of the world are scarce, that there is not enough for everyone.

The catch is that it is hard to truly live in abundance with habits formed in scarcity. The tendency to hoard money rather than gather and circulate it is the biggest of these habits. Look again at your attitudes toward earning, saving and spending money and see if a belief in scarcity helps explain any anxiety you feel. The biggest paradox with the philosophy of a scarcity is that it is a self-fulfilling one. The fear of not having enough leads people to take more than they need and to hoard energy in all forms, which leads to the uneven distribution of wealth that plagues our world.

Once you remove this anxiety, and the related impulse to hoard, you can feel confident in using and consuming just enough. The moment you feel you or your family might go without, the urge to hoard arises immediately. Resist the urge and practice instead the techniques of money management based on the principles of energy. If you pay attention to your body and your soul, you will know when you have enough, in any given energy transaction. Living so that you use and consume only as much as you need to fulfill your commitments and life goals begins to create abundance.

As more and more of us subscribe to the belief in abundance, and manage our consumption accordingly, we will ensure that there is enough for everyone. As you master living in abundance, you will find that your capacity for peace, joy and fulfillment will expand.
