2018 will start with the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Pluto in the sign of Capricorn, do not let this alignment of stars go unnoticed. Capricorn symbolizes the overcoming of obstacles and goals, it is time to get up and overcome to the highest, reach our goals and exceed our own expectations.

Mars and Jupiter will open 2018 positioned in the sweet stars of Scorpio who soon took advantage of this position to generate some discord in the work group and manifest all kinds of minimal problems in quite exaggerated versions, the difficulties will be seen bigger than what they really are, so patience and serenity. On the other hand, Mercury (the communicator) will be strategically positioned in Sagittarius, inviting us to find new ways of expressing our ideas and our creativity (far beyond social networks), while Neptune in Pisces and Uranus in Aries remain in this same position to give us a new approach and a due change of perspective, much needed this new cycle of 2018, during which the world of social networks (now what governs our world) will gain greater relevance in the issue of social assistance and the humanitarian collaboration.

Extremely important, remember that on January 1 we will have the moon in Gemini, so we open this new cycle with a double dose of flourishing creativity and ingenuity, and in the evening, SURPRISE SURPRISE !!, We have the first full moon of 2018 the night of January 1, and it will be an ostentatious moon in the Sign of Cancer, just the lunar sign par excellence, attentive to those good wishes, because it is time to put them on a list, see that this moon arrives well charged and with fresh energies to our advantage.

Saturn in Capricorn, special focus.

You must take into account that after 26 years, Saturn has finally returned to its position in Capricorn, its ruling sign, the ancestral king of karma and ruler of the long-term projects has come to settle in his house for a long period, and it will remain there until 2020, dissipating discomforts that oppose our actions and supporting the most enterprising people from every corner of the universe.

Saturn has abandoned his position in the sign of the archer (Sagittarius) from where he was shooting creativity everywhere, to now take himself seriously with his arrival in Capricorn, from now on it is time to leave these "mini" to a certain extent. "casual" projects, and focus fully on making them known, you no longer have time to sit down and wait for more opportunities to come to you and keep looking, it's time to concretely concretize what you have achieved and work with what you have in your hands, make known those projects that have already advanced and grow small and medium enterprises.

Capricorn is the sign of discretion and loyalty, Capricorn as ruler of Saturn does not like to waste time with unfinished projects or simply follow a fashion trend to try to get far, and unlike Saturn in Sagittarius, which usually tends to rest on their laurels and see their comfort zone more and more comfortable, the Saturn in Capricorn is concrete and has its feet on the ground, it is time to discard those projects that have no future and focus on specific objectives that differ from the rest , opt for practical goals and establish real guidelines.

This cycle of the King of Karma (Saturn) in the Capricorn sign prevails from these days until 2020, when Pluto, the emperor of the underworld and guardian of the transforming cycles, will temporarily join his ally in the sign of Capricorn, and Once we have Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn in 2020, it will be a time of judgments where the karma will judge us one by one, if you have any legal issue to solve in the long term, pray that 2020 will take you confessed and free of This will be a difficult year in the legal field and especially in the international issue, all those who are dedicated to the import and export of goods and services and all kinds of products, even those that are commercialized within the digital plane, are better off. Keep the accounts clear from now on.

#TheGoddess Reminiscing Whom we cannot forget.

About the Goddess: Reminiscing Whom we cannot forget.

They were times beyond the memory of man, immemorial times beyond our earliest ancestors when the first gods walked on the face of a land uninhabited and silent. Lurking through the dark corners of the newly carved mountains one by one by the hand of their own  creators, the gods still descended in energy form to this plane (which we now call ours) and with their delicate touch, they modeled the prairies and the Valleys, rivers and mountains that we have now conquered.

One of these complex forms of energy and wisdom as ancient as the moon, She decided to bring with Her two gifts for a new breed of mammals destined to conquer this tiny blue planet in the midst of all divine creation. The gift of fertility and the knowledge of agriculture were two exquisite gifts that made thousands of years ago, a complex and primitive species in which is currently the predominant race of the planet.

For millennia, man has sought in each corner of the planet an explanation for his origin, his evolution, and his own existence. This search has only generated more questions than answers, but among such a complex history, this ancestral entity that was always on our side has left permanent traces of Her existence in each of these prehistoric corners, either in the form of colorful drawings or anthropomorphic statues of the most complex materials for each era in which they were crafted.

Because man has not lost his characteristic fear of all that is different, the ancestral entities in their divine wisdom began to appear before us under less complex forms and before our own eyes, increasingly familiar forms, allowing us also to immortalize them and honor them in figures who have looked more human on each occasion.

One of these entities, who has always bet on humanity as a race, is perhaps also responsible for polishing the solar reflection each night to give humanity the characteristic unusual brightness of the moon, through which we see only a very small part of the gigantic work that this entity has done for us.

This same entity, which has been characterized throughout the millennia for Her loyalty and unshakeable faith towards the human race, is responsible for showing man the functioning of processes linked to fertility and agriculture. At the same time, man, from his earliest age, began to question himself about the capacity and existence of a superior being capable of carrying out all this series of "natural events", trying to understand it and even to represent it under the form of a female ‘Mother’, because only an entity with a woman's soul would be able to mold a world full of fertile life and wild beauty.

In all these early representations of that entity, they did show off Her voluptuous forms, similar in every aspect to the forms of adult women and mountains, trails and meadows created by the mystical art of this being ancient, once they got to represent them. They attributed to Her all the occult powers of the earth, medicine, food, and even earthquakes would be only a part of its divine attributes.

In later periods the man in his arrogance to attribute to each thing a name to be able to have power over him, believing that he could understand them, began to call this mysterious entity as the Mother Goddess, Earth Goddess, or Mother Nature. Seeing this entity as an ancestor of the (somewhat smaller) gods that will later appear in various religions of the old and the new continent.

For an entire millennium, humanity attributed to other ancestral gods the characteristics of men, attributed to them ever more human names and personalities, but the Goddess, continued to be one of the earliest and most misunderstood, continued for a long time as "The Mother Goddess", and many later deities came to take some of Her attributes without ever being able to completely replace her.

After some periods of great intellectual, technological and industrial advancement for the human race, the gods in some way and for different reasons kept swimming in the fine crossing between the sea of oblivion and the coasts of myth. The vital flame of the goddess began to be revived again by intellectuals and devotees who brought Her worship back to our times. Suddenly for many everything began to regain the sense, legends, myths, the magical origins of man, the woman's bond with the moon and the earth, everything took a 360-degree turn and we realized that the answers were always there, what was left over were the questions.

These beings, older than humanity itself, these extraordinary immortal creatures whose wisdom transcends our understanding, entrusted us with the care of this planet, bet everything for us, but it was Her, the Mother Goddess, who dedicated herself always to our care, to our development and evolution, to push us, to take care of ourselves and to teach us, just as a mother does. Is She who fed us, healed us every time we were hurt, embraced us each cold night and restored our faith every time we felt down or depressed.

She was the mother goddess, the one that has a thousand faces and a thousand names, who trusted us from the beginning of time and who left us represent Her in as many ways as possible, statuettes of clay and bronze, in cave paintings at the back of an old cave, in the incomprehensible smile of some painting or in every Arthurian myth in the form of a fairy or a forest spirit that appears to help the knight in his mission.

There remain names as there are questions around them, many of these names devised by the same man and others whispered by themselves in the ears of their believers. Many of these questions do not have to be answered, others are simply not the right questions, but the fact is that the Goddess has always been there, and in every period of humanity, She has become present in some way, incarnated Herself under different faces and facets to illuminate with her presence every relevant fact of history, turn the ship's helm in the right direction or give birth to a new teacher for the human race.

Yoruba priests from Africa consider Yemaya, goddess of the sea and sea surfaces, as the primordial Mother Goddess who bore humanity and all the orishas of Her womb. According to her folklore, she was the primeval ocean and the whole Life on earth emerged from her belly of light. For many scholars on the subject, Yemaya established the life cycle of man and most mammals, which is why we would not be born of eggs, but rather bursting the womb and emerging in a sea of vital water. This perhaps would explain intentionally the reason man feels so comfortable swimming and diving in the cold ocean or in a small bathtub. Being surrounded by a body of water not only gives us a full relaxation experience, but also reminds us unconsciously to our own existence within the womb of the mother goddess, wrapped in a sea of light and spirit.

We can say that in a certain way we have also molded the Goddess to our form, we have given Her the skin color, the shape and personality characteristic of every nation in the world, and it has not been the reverse, but surely if the camels could represent their gods in some way, they are also likely to represent them as camels, and not as men, and after some time, the gods would appear before them in this same way to give them security and confidence.

Perhaps the representation we give to the Goddess is completely meaningless, perhaps it is an arrogant act of ourselves trying to understand Her, perhaps, on the contrary, it is an act of humility on our part, trying to represent Her in the form of the most intelligent creature we know.  Perhaps this is its true form and somehow we have kept it in a subconscious memory that has been stored for generations in our genetics, or perhaps this is the form that the Goddess really had at some point in a previous life, coming from an earlier race perhaps in an earlier plane. I suppose all options are valid.

The only thing we can be sure of, as the archaeological evidence has shown, is that the worship of the Goddess is not something new, much less modern, on the contrary, it is one of the oldest cults in the dawn of humanity.

Magic with Cloves

Magic with Cloves

The clove (Syzygium aromaticus), is an aromatic spice that has antibacterial, anesthetic, aphrodisiac, analgesic, antispasmodic and stimulant properties.

It is related to the planet Jupiter and the fire element. Its penetrating aroma is known to have both physical and magical effects that influence protection, love, healing, memory and courage.

Medicinal properties

One of the most important compounds of clove is eugenol, an element that prevents blood clotting, making it very beneficial for cardiovascular health. Thanks to its high concentration of eugenol, clove is widely used by dentists in the treatment of cavities, toothaches and even in mouthwashes.

Holistic properties

Helps in love and creates a space of protection. It is ideal to add it to your magic circle of protection or to consecrate magic tools.

Burning cloves in the kitchen is considered an old sacred ritual to honor a new being that comes to earth.

It infuses us with the courage to take actions and make decisions, in addition to clarifying doubts about your feelings and desires.

Anoint a candle with clove oil to keep you concentrated and fully focused when performing any kind of magic ritual.

A handful of cloves after death attracts visitors from old friends, while a few drops of their oil on the pillow before bedtime helps us to relive past situations in our dreams.

Every morning pick up three cloves and chop them, as you suck in their scent, forgotten memories will come. When you do not remember your dreams, the smell of the cloves will help these to come to your mind.

Kundalini Yoga

The daily practice of Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini as a practice is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline based on different paths of yoga which are based on the pillars of the Sanskrit text: Yoga Sutra, Bhakti (divine devotion) and Tantra.

Kundalini according to Hinduism is an intangible energy symbolically represented by a serpent-dragon sleeping in the "muladhara" (the first of the seven chakras located in the perineum). It is believed that when the serpent awakens, the yogi controls life and death.

Yogis use different spiritual techniques such as the recitation of mantras, asanas, pranayamas, daily meditations, kriyas, as well as disinterested service to others to activate the energy that remains dormant in us and raise it slowly but steadily towards the " Sahasrara"  chakra,  which allows us to achieve happiness, liberation from all our dormant potential and the full awakening of cosmic consciousness.

The practice of Kundalini Yoga requires patience, daily practice, commitment and unwavering will, as well as the constant cleansing and purification of the nadis, a network of channels in the astral-spiritual body through which prana flows. If you wish to advance in any type of yoga, including the Kundalini, it is necessary to purify all the nadis of the body one by one.

Kundalini Yoga is one of the oldest, complex and complete forms of yoga, and is also a wonderful power tool to help you achieve all your short and long term goals. Yoga nourishes the body, the mind and the spirit cell by cell, Kundalini yoga works in the same way, trying to awaken all your spiritual potential in a more objective and complete way.

The worldwide diffusion of this ancient discipline during the twentieth century was due to the work of the teacher Yogi Bhajan. Formerly, the sacred practice of Yoga Kundalini was taught secretly and by oral tradition directly from the teacher to the pupil (disciple) provided they showed a constant dedication and respect to that practice.

Each class of Yoga Kundalini usually begins with the chanting of a specific mantra, the "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo". This powerful mantra synchronizes our essence with the essence of an entire chain of Kundalini Yoga teachers, called the golden chain, and also with our own inner teacher. That allows us to receive these sacred teachings from our higher consciousness.

Yoga Kundalini helps us to awaken our consciousness through a multitude of meditations and kriyas (a mixture of exercises, breaths and sounds) that allow us to become aware of our subconscious and unconscious patterns, to get rid of our old fears, to open ourselves to love and leave us Guide in perfect confidence, by our intuition.

The mastery of the mind is vitally important in this ancient practice, since every thought has a vibration and that vibration determines the way you live and what you bring into your life.

The purpose of practicing physical disciplines is not only to develop the body and mind, but to awaken the soul. The awakening of the soul, thanks to the rise of the Kundalini energy, allows to radiate creativity and infinity in all aspects of daily life, to be guided by the soul and not by the ego. At the same time, the development of the meditative mind or "Budhi", through Yoga allows us to be fully aware of our own potential.

Happy practice!
