Spiraling Up

@ 7:37pm Sun in Capricorn Moon in Aquarius

Happy Holidays!!!

I started an Instagram for us my friends!  YAY!!!

And I just finished a 7 day detox & Chakra cleanse that I documented.  So, you can check that out too, here.

I also wanted to announce the reading selection for the Capricorn season!

::DRUM ROLL PLEASE::

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley 

It was actually a close call between this and another classic which I think might be a good read for Aries!  But let’s not get too ahead.

I’m really excited about this cycle!  And you can read a little more about what went into choosing this novel in my Newsletter.

There's exactly a week left in 2014!  And I still have a few more things to crank out!  ::Eek::

I hope you are preparing for some amazing release of pint up energy on the 4th!  And I also hope you set some pretty kickass intentions on the New Moon that just passed.  I hope Sagittarius helped you set your sights on something amazing.  Because Capricorn is ready to help set you on your path to having it become apart of your reality!  You probably can already feel the shift in the air!  It's all happening for YOU! :*

WRITE ME at universalstudent3355@gmail.com and let me know what's coming up for you.  When I say I'd really Love to know...I'd really Love to know.  :)

I just wanted to say hello and share a moment with you all :*

Trying something NEW

@12:22pm EST Sun in Sagittarius Moon in Cancer

Hello my Faithful Friends :)  

2015 is just around the corner and I figured why not start planting seeds for what I want to create then, now!  It's been a dream of mine to move, and really start exploring the world, and Jupiter in Leo has been encouraging me to do just that:  START LIVING MY DREAMS!  Something else that I've been doing is incorporating all the things that I Love.  Travel is definitely one, and so are documentaries.  Which is why I'll be using my YouTube channel to start documenting this journey of mine, sharing it with you, and truly become the Universal Student!  

My goal is to start in the Bay Area of California.  Enroll in a Holistic Life Coaching program.  Get my first apartment!  And become a yoga teacher instructor.  It feels like the perfect first step.  And it'll include my first love, which is Learning!  That, plus adventure, plus sharing it with all the friends I've made and continue to make is beyond exciting.  And it is the fulfillment of those accomplishments and the window I keep open for Happy Surprises, that keep me hopeful and looking forward.  

Presently, though, I am so thankful to continue updating you on everything that I'm doing and dreaming of.  I'm so grateful that I have this outlet to connect with you.  I'm so happy for the constant reminders that you all are to have Faith and Trust this process and to Stay Strong.  Everything is and will be alright.  You are not alone.  And I Love You :*

Slowly Emerging from Behind the Clouds

@ 10:50pm EST Sun in Sagittarius Moon in Pisces

There’s a television series called ‘Heroes’.  It was ended in 2010, but can be found on Netflix!  It’s about the aftermath of a solar eclipse, where people discover that they have innate abilities and are all interconnected in a mission to save the world.  I highly recommend watching it as it parallels much of this phenomenon we call life.  

Sagittarius began on the 22nd of this month.  Much of Scorpio was about healing from past hurts, past decisions, past selves.  It was also about moving forward with what is desired to be strengthened.  Like ‘Heroes’, the jewels we continue to discover every cycle are our own powers.  They strengthen us and they are how we will save ourselves and begin to heal the world.

We are very much still balancing out our lives–a process we consciously began with Libra.  This cycle’s reading selections will reflect that restructuring:  

-Shadow Threshold Reading with Kelly-Ann/The Four Queens  https://www.etsy.com/listing/200048928/shadow-threshold-reading

-Diane von Furstenberg’s The Woman I Wanted to Be  http://www.amazon.com/Woman-I-Wanted-Be/dp/1451651546/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416926729&sr=8-1&keywords=the+woman+i+wanted+to+be

I’ve been doing shadow work for some time.  But I never called it by this name.  I just simply have been studying myself–thoughts, outcomes, cycles, relationships, manifestations, conditionings…  I came across Kelly-Ann’s reading offer on Etsy and it complimented my path.  And what I loved about it, is that it is formatted somewhat like a homework assignment or personalized reference– still giving me a part to carry out so that I can continue my self-work.  Purchasing your own reading is not mandatory and so much clearing away was already done in Scorpio.  But I do feel this offer helps to work with what may be lingering, gives assistance to those nitty gritty details that may still be elusive or haven’t completely been unveiled.  I suggest checking out the description on the site for yourself and seeing how it resonates.  Kelly-Ann also has different shadow readings, so feel free to message her as well for a consultation to determine what will best channel your strengths.

Diane von Furstenberg has found her way back into my life!  And just in time (with no coincidence I know) for Sagittarius.  I think The Woman I Wanted to Be will be the perfect book to showcase how we can achieve great things, have heartfelt experiences, embrace our birthrights, and pass on the unapologetic owning of our sense of self.  Diane is truly magic and I’m excited to read her journey and be inspired (as it’s one of my intentions for this cycle)!

Let there be Transformation • Let there be Miraculous Miracles •  Let there be Faith • Let there be Inspiration • Let there be Resolution • Let there be Forgiveness • Let there be Unconditional Love

Happy Creating My Loves! 

P.S.  When I finished writing this I was told that the NBC network will be coming back with a new season of ‘Heroes’ starting February 2015!!!  Now I would definitely say that’s a sign and just a glimpse of all the good things that are sure to come if we dream big, make our intentions clear, keep our focus, and hold onto our faith.  

You are not alone!  And I Love You :*

What Are You Waiting For?

@12:22pm EST Sun in Scorpio Moon in Leo

How happy I am that this card has surfaced!  With the last quarter moon in Leo tomorrow, completions are underway.  And they'll be in the area of clearing out that began with the New Moon on October 23rd and continued with the Full Moon on the 6th of this month.  You can for sure feel it now–where all those nagging things that you just wished would disappear are actually starting to.  Because you have put energy in another direction–a direction that helps you stop reverting back to the same pattern, a direction that gives you a new way to handle this unwanted person, place, thing–a direction that makes you feel like you can start over and do it the way you really want to do it this time.  And what's even better is that you've collected this new material along the way.  So, now there's this new venture, or way of thinking, or friend or resource that's apart of your life that helps you, supports you, motivates you, reassures you and reminds you that

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH

YOU ARE RIGHT ON TIME

YOU ARE HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR TRUE LIFES WORK AND PURPOSE

YOU ARE BECOMING MORE OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

How exciting!!!  And it's all perfectly aligned.  The New Moon is on the 22nd in Sagittarius and the Sun will be there with her. Take this time to finish clearing out those areas where you want the light to completely shine through now.  With Neptune direct and Jupiter super happy that its sign Sag will be in the forefront shortly, it'll be time to really move forward with our dreams and expanding our life in new directions with this intensified imagination and conviction that anything is possible!  (Because it is:)

Has anyone ever seen the movie the Sphere?  It's like that.  If you could imagine anything in the world you wanted to create for yourself, would you think of the worst possible scenarios?  You wouldn't!  Why think of the worst when you can imagine the best?  

I know it's difficult and challenging and sometimes you feel like you're stuck but that's only confirmation that we're actually doing it this time my friends!  It's only growing pains.  And I'm here for you!  Don't give up.  Join me :*

And WRITE ME too lol @universalstudent3355@gmail.com  I would really love to hear from you and know what's going on in your lives and see how I could help or share with you!

Empresses Rise...Your Empire Awaits!

@ 12:12pm EST Sun in Scorpio Moon in Taurus

The card of the day is The Empress or Mother Goose in the Inner Child Cards deck.  I think this down time, and especially the Full Moon today, is having a lot of us focused on what needs to be released.  Although what needs to be let go of is very important, let's not forget that magic that we have within us all that makes us who we are.  Empower those parts of you that you Love, because they are much greater in comparison to what is no longer serving us.  Put on that outfit that when you pass by your reflection you have to stop and admire yourself.  That shade of nail polish on your toes that makes you want to show them off.  Be with people that embrace and expound upon your Happiness.  Put your arms around that energy that inspires you to create more more more.  OWN IT     

Go where the Love is today!       

I had a dream not long ago where in it I woke up in a panic, afraid that I was being surrounded by people who wanted to attack me and capture me as punishment for some wrongdoing.  Futuristic flying objects hovering outside my window.  What I had done, I don't know, but I know the need to flee was eminent.  I was in a very lavish room and hurriedly searched it for clothes that I could change out of my pajamas into.  The drawers were all locked or closed in a way that I didn't know how to open them.  Forget the clothes, I thought.  So, leaving my room I walk into what appears to be a mall.  A woman is standing there and I ask her where I can find clothes.  She agrees that she can help me but takes me to the perfume instead.  This doesn't seem to be her "department" or way that she is supposed to or is used to helping.  In the distance I see soldiers approaching, and so I hide behind conversation with another customer.  The soldiers pass and I'm again relieved.  Resuming collaboration with the woman, out of the corner of my left eye, I see a man emerge from a room and walk down a corridor.  He is tall, regal, deliberate, wears a turban, is encircled by shorter men busily talking to him as they all make their way downstairs into the center of the mall and then out of view.  "Who is HE?", I ask the woman helping me.  "That is the Shah".  "How are we related?"  She looks at me as puzzled as I felt on the inside for asking the question.  "You are his wife."  Immediately, it was as if all the missing information downloaded into my brain.  Those soldiers, that fear of being imprisoned, they were there to protect me, not harm me.  I was the safest person in the world.  "How are we, together?"  Was this just some arranged marriage, did we really hate each other behind closed doors or even worse, were we indifferent?  "You have the most beautiful Love I've ever seen", she said.  And then I woke up.  I lied in my bed a little longer.  Still feeling the essence of the dream floating in my aura.  How magical it felt.  How wonderful.  How I wanted to return and remain forever.  I remembered catching a glimpse of myself in a mirror there.  Thinking how illuminating I was–thick sun kissed dreaded locks draping my face, even amongst the chaos. Lol  Those soldiers were my own army, that "mall" my palace, that woman my aide, that man my husband...I was the Empress!  

  

❤️

2+2=4

@8:48pm EST Sun in Scorpio Moon in Aries 

I drew two Major Arcana cards today: 

XVII Wishing Upon a Star (The Star) and IX Snow White (The Hermit)

With Jupiter in Leo it is very much a time to hold true to our dreams and wishes as that gateway for making them a reality is still open.  While we do that it is also a hibernation period–where we are still subconsciously working with the pieces that we are collecting, and processing them in order to incorporate everything into our consciousness and later make them realize and manifest.  This retreat is sacred and cannot be rushed so that when it is time for us to emerge we can be ever sure that what we call forth is just what we have always wanted.  The dream time and messages received then and in meditation is of such importance.  As we are taking this time to ourselves, things are busily working in the backgrounds in our favor.  Enjoy and take refuge in this time of solitude.  Joy will re-emerge in you–renewed, refreshed and restored.  Have Faith!  

In the Beginning...

@10:10 pm EST Sun in Scorpio Moon in Pisces

So, today is November 1st and also Little Red Cap’s day.  This correlates to The Fool in traditional Tarot decks.  We begin a journey today!  Where all is new and beautiful and wondrous.  I’m so excited!  Because regardless of all the shoulda coulda woulda’s that will be encountered, we’ll undoubtedly come out the other end having obtained knowledge we never knew was with us all along.  It’s like when the year ends and we look back on how far we’ve come, all the pieces we’ve collected, and we take them with us as another year begins.  We are all learning and becoming more of who we are everyday.  We are remembering and awakening to ourselves.  It’s the beginning of a fairy tale my friends!  Let’s fall in Love…and stand together :)

(Do not fear the Big Bad Wolf…he only needs Love and acknowledgment too.)      

***I’m using my calendar this month as a 30 day Forgiveness reminder–along with noting things I’m grateful for and accomplish each day.  I’ll be including prompts on the Tumblr page: http://usforyoulove.tumblr.com***

And the Winner is...

@9:39 pm EST Sun in Scorpio Moon in Pisces

Congratulations to:

 Molly Cleary 

for winning the Scorpio cycle LoveBox!  

I’m looking forward to sharing November and all of Isha Lerner’s wisdom with everyone!!!

❤️ Nisha

Happy Monday :)

@2:27pm EST Sun in Scorpio Moon VOC

For the Scorpio cycle of BookStars we’ll be enjoying Isha Lerner’s Inner Child Tarot Cards and her accompanying workbook.  

Not only will this give readers more time with The Happiness Project but it will also fit in so nicely with this time of year!

Because the Scorpion is so good at getting to the bottom of the matter, and because the Solar Eclipse has just pointed us in new directions in our lives, delving more deeply into our childhoods and finding where our true joy lives feels like the perfect place to begin.

This is a very friendly deck so it will benefit any level Tarot reader that you are.  And Isha’s workbook guides us through the cards, their tales, archetypal and metaphysical meanings, easily–incorporating affirmations and prompts for every card.  All those things we Love about the 8th House, Mars and Pluto will be discussed with this one.

Join US & WRITE ME at universalstudent3355@gmail.com to enter for your chance to win this cycle’s Love Box which includes the book and deck set!

Here’s a link to where you can buy the set: http://www.ishalerner.com/inner-child-cards-c97

The Time Has Come the Walrus Said...

@ 10:40 pm EST Sun in Libra Moon in Virgo

The time has come to decide what book you would like to read for the Scorpio cycle.  

My mind has been rolling over several titles.  Something with depth, action, intensity, secrecy, the unknown (or repressed known), sensuality, sexuality and...time travel?  You know, all those Mars, Pluto, 8th house characteristics.  There was also a feeling of wanting to return to something classic.  

Take a look at the selection over to the left and vote which most intrigues you.  If something else has caught your eye, feel free to email me or leave a comment below about your suggestion.  I'd love to check it out and offer it to the other readers!  

And I know what you're thinking..."I haven't finished the Happiness Project yet"!  Guess what?  (::whispers:: That's perfectly fine.)  

What I hope it did do for you, though, was get your creative juices flowing to take action towards some things you'd love to add to (or take away from) your life– allowing you to be YOU–free of the clutter of things no longer serving you, and able to move forward with that much more clarity and support (from Libra, Venus and ME!).  

After all, Gretchen Rubin was only letting you know how she did it, how are you doing it?

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

P.S.  I'd love to schedule a video chat before Libra is over.  Preferably as a group, but individually is just as perfect.  WRITE ME at universalstudent3355@gmail.com and let me know your schedules, or leave a comment and chat with each other so we can all gather together.

P.S.S.  Let me know if you'd like journal/discussion prompts delivered to your email.  These would be based on each cycle and the selected readings.

Happy Saturday!

❤️ Nisha

While We Wait...

@ 6:00 EST Sun in Libra Moon in Cancer

Hello my Faithful Friends :)

I'm in the process of creating a new space for us.  Something that allows for more space, more freedom, and more ease.  

BUT, it feels like we all still need some place to return to in the meantime.  So, since there is no rushing the Divine, I'll keep making regular posts here to add to the outlets in which we can communicate and to let you know that I am still here for you.

As Libra winds down, how has it been treating you?

I've definitely been more pulled back and have been particular with selecting activities to participate in.  But this retrograde time is allowing me to put real focus into what needs it right now–cultivating relationships, strengthening innate abilities, and deepening my connection to Spirit.  The most important thing is I'm not worrying about TIME.  Once I took the pressure of time restraints out of the picture, I was able to let Spirit's natural flow of creativity, self love and embrace, take the lead.  

I hope you are able to slow down a bit and appreciate this time, for if you let it, something beautiful can emerge in the very near future.  I can feel it!

AND, when it does, we can all share in the bounty together! It is going to be so perfect.  O yes!  I can feel it!

***If you must do something, do something that makes you SMILE***

I LOVE YOU!

And So It Is

@ 4:44 pm EST Sun in Libra Moon in Capricorn

Book Stars will be having it's first meeting on October 2nd at 7pm EST.  

Google Hangouts seems like the easiest place to have it.  Simply log on to your Google account and I'll open the chat room to you.  But if you all feel more comfortable with another outlet (perhaps Skype) WRITE ME and let me know your thoughts.  

See you all tomorrow!

Lots of Love and More Light to You!

Today Is The Day!

@11:11 am EST Sun in Libra Moon VOC 

WELCOME TO BOOK STARS!

And I'm so excited!!!

Let's get started!!!

In honor of this two-day launch of Book Stars, I thought we'd kick it off with a Meet & Greet.

What I love about Google, is that it's so comprehensive.  Everything's here!  Even Hangouts.

This way we can chat with each other and have our gatherings from around the world.

AND today is the fifth day in a Chakra cleansing workshop that I'm doing, so that means it's Throat Chakra day, and what better time to communicate?!?

I'd like to coordinate a time for everyone to meet together, between today and tomorrow.  What are some times that all of you are available?

For those of you just making your way over, there's still plenty of space for you!   

So, WRITE ME and let me know your thoughts!

universalstudent3355@gmail.com

Congratulations!

@3:18 pm EST Sun in Virgo Moon in Virgo

Congratulations to Precious, Jennifer & Alexa!!!  

These lucky 3 are Book Stars' first cycle package winners.

I just left the post office and your delivery is making it's way to you as we speak–arriving just in time!

Enjoy! And I'm super Happy to Welcome you to Book Stars and for you to be apart of US :)

❤️ Nisha

::Wrapped in a Bow::

@ 12:27pm EST Sun in Virgo Moon in Leo

I was thinking of ways that would make it easier for people to join and participate.  And it came to me!  I’ll be opening an Etsy shop within a weeks time and one of the items I’ll be offering is a package that will have everything you need inside of it!  

- a keepsake box

- a hardcopy of this cycle's book
- an item that will help you better channel the book's energy & current zodiac cycle

- an intuited message for the current zodiac cycle JUST FOR YOU

- Lots of Love from Me!!! :)

Adding one more thing to your to do list can seem burdensome, so, with this package, you’ll be ready and set to start once you receive it!  

I’m still deciding on pricing, though.  I’m throwing some numbers around.  $22.44 feels really nice, but ultimately I want it to be affordable for all of YOU!.  So, leave a comment or WRITE ME with suggestions on what you’d feel comfortable paying for something like this if you’re interested in it.  Or even what other items you might want included–perhaps, a journal to make notes of your thoughts about the book and how things are coinciding and progressing in your life???  ^_^

universalstudent3355@gmail.com

It Came to Me!

@10:46pm EST Sun in Virgo Moon in Cancer

Ok!  So, I went for a walk and the next piece to Book Stars came to me.  This would be a great way for us to stay in flux with La Luna and her movements.  Seeing as how the start day will be on the New Moon, we will meet on her phases.  

For example, with The Happiness Project, the dates I'm thinking of are: 

• September 23rd- the New Moon 
• October 1st- the First Quarter Moon 
• October 8th- the Full Moon (and my birthday I might add!!! :)
• October 15th- the Last Quarter Moon

And these would be the dates we would select from to meet.  Taking into consideration everyone's fluctuating schedule and reading pace, I think 2 of the 4 dates would be good.  

And the cycles will go along with the zodiac.  Where the time for the first book will be all of Libra's time, from September 23rd-October 23rd.  And the next book will be from October 23rd-November 21st.  And so on...

It all seems to fall in line because the first book is about, what?  All of Venus' favorite things!  It's about everything that makes us HAPPY!  And balancing them with day-to-day life, a total Libra thing.  And I'm feeling that the books will flow in this way, where the next book will be in line with Mars (or Pluto) and Scorpio.

This is feeling really natural to me.  Ultimately, it's what feels right for all of us, though.  So, let me know your feedback.  We have wiggle room before we get started, and I'm sure we'll be adjusting for everyone's comfort as we move along.  But how do you all feel about it?

Leave a comment below, or feel free to WRITE ME!  universalstudent3355@gmail.com  (I love mail from friends! :)  

A Dream Come True!

@ 12:44 pm EST Sun in Virgo Moon in Cancer

Hello All :)

I am so happy to introduce this to you!

I am finally starting a BOOK CLUB!!!

It's one of the favorite things that I'm beginning to incorporate into my life and I want to share it with all of you.

I've even decided what the first book will be: THE HAPPINESS PROJECT by Gretchen Rubin.

The official launch dates will be September 23/24th, 2014, just in time for the Fall Equinox and the New Moon in Libra!

I've been receiving messages to choose happiness and to be happy so when this book presented itself, I knew it was the one.  And what better time to start being happy than NOW.  The book is actually set up as a guide to create the lives we desire!

This past Pisces Full Moon was a bit rough on me, so I'm definitely in the mood to raise my vibrations back up to a higher frequency.  I can already feel that this book will be that springboard and foundation that we need to jumpstart all those good feelings we want and help bring back that motivation to inspire new and creative projects.

My intention for Book Stars above all is for us to make connections.  I feel it is apart of my purpose to help others help themselves and it makes me so happy to help others come to realizations that propel them to move forward in their best course of action.  Sometimes, the best way to come to an understanding, or over standing, or more importantly an inner standing, is to learn from others' experiences–which is why I love books and the written word especially.

This is still very much a new project and I know that I will be making improvements as I go along.  I look forward to getting feedback from all of you in this process, such as how often you'd like to gather to discuss what we've read, your suggestions on future books to read, what outlet you'd like to use for meetings (i.e. Skype...), if you'd like to receive email updates or prompts on how to incorporate what we read and learn in our lives etc.

This is really all about reaching out and making that connection and being able to communicate our thoughts and feelings to each other without that fear of being judged.  Above all I want us to have fun and make friends!

It will always be a safe space and rooted in LOVE!

In preparation for next week here is a link to Amazon and Ebay if you'd like to purchase a hardcopy of the book.  eBooks and pdf's can also be found online if you'd rather use an eReader, print it out, or save a few coins.  Whichever makes it easier for you to join US!
