As a facilitator in transforming the masculine psyche, I've witnessed a powerful shift in men. While only a modest two percent actively seek guidance, many are prompted by their significant others. Picture men entering a consultation with crossed arms, only to unveil an untapped well of potential within, beyond the influence of upbringing.
Men often lose touch with their hearts, swayed by societal expectations, role models, or the actions of others. Navigating the complexities of relationships prompts the question, "What am I doing wrong?" While men may not frequently seek guidance, it's often the women in their lives seeking insights for them.
Approaching mid-thirties brings the weight of societal expectations. Between thirty-five and forty-two, restlessness coincides with success in their chosen field. Around forty-two, life's complexities surface, ushering in a phase of unrest and significant personal changes.
Ignoring internal struggles leads to recurring conflicts. The 'do I stay, or do I run?' dilemma emerges, prompting attempts to fill the void with impulsive decisions. Unresolved issues peak in the fifties, manifesting as ignored health concerns.
For men aged thirty-five to forty-nine, awareness prompts significant life changes. Between forty-nine and fifty-six, physical changes trigger introspection—a phase where unresolved issues resurface, challenging a review of the past. Many don a mask, often with self-medication, continuing until a later stage in life.
It's time for men to engage authentically, shedding societal expectations. The discussion of seven-year cycles reveals a pattern—up to thirty-five, where life seemingly has no consequences. Regardless of age, men can redefine themselves by embracing authenticity, fostering balance, achieving success, and ultimately finding freedom.
Even over-sixties, particularly women, embark on self-discovery earlier, but both genders need greater awareness. Men play a vital role in evolution, bringing unique power and energy. Empowered men understand their feelings, unravel their identity, and become better fathers, brothers, lovers, friends, and sons.
Guys, you haven't lost your place in the world. Ready to explore what's under the hood? Embark on a reflective journey, you will be amazed.

​Celebrate as Pluto exits Capricorn after 15 years, ushering in a significant era in Aquarius. Capricorn faced challenges, a fight for success, and universal justice. Now, individuality blends with community in Aquarius. Pluto's shift marks the end of global transformations, moving from Capricorn's institutional focus to Aquarius' influence on personal growth and power dynamics. With a 248-year orbit, Pluto's rare moves set the stage for revolution, change, and transformation for generations. Last seen in Aquarius during 1778-1798, this shift promises innovation and a collective focus, reminiscent of historic events like the French Revolution.

The concept of a "12:12 portal" is often associated with numerology and spiritual beliefs. In numerology, numbers are thought to carry specific vibrational energies and symbolic meanings. The repetition of the number 12, such as in the time 12:12, is considered by some to be a powerful and auspicious moment.
Many people who follow spiritual or metaphysical practices believe that these numerical patterns represent a gateway or portal to higher consciousness, spiritual awakening, or positive energy. The 12:12 portal is sometimes seen as a time for reflection, manifestation, and spiritual growth. Some individuals may use this time to set intentions, meditate, or engage in other spiritual practices.
Consider doing to kickstart your transformative journey:

1. Set Clear Intentions:
   
   • Take some time to reflect on your goals and aspirations for the transformation you seek. Set clear and specific intentions for what you want to achieve in 2024.
2. Create a Vision Board:
   
   • Visualize your goals by creating a vision board. Gather images, words, and symbols that represent the changes you want to see in your life and arrange them on a board.
3. Plan Small, Actionable Steps:
   
   • Break down your larger goals into smaller, manageable steps. This makes the transformation process more achievable and helps you stay focused on progress.
4. Establish a Routine:
   
   • Develop a daily or weekly routine that aligns with your transformation goals. Consistent habits can contribute significantly to personal growth.
5. Seek Support and Guidance:
   
   • Consider reaching out to mentors, friends, or a supportive community that can provide guidance and encouragement during your transformative journey.
6. Practice Self-Reflection:
   
   • Regularly take time for self-reflection. Journaling or meditation can help you gain insights into your thoughts, emotions, and progress.
7. Embrace Learning Opportunities:
   
   • Be open to new experiences and opportunities for learning. Transformation often involves stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing change.
8. Celebrate Milestones:
   
   • Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements along the way. Recognizing progress, no matter how small, reinforces positive behaviour.
9. Stay Mindful:
   
   • Cultivate mindfulness in your daily life. Being present and aware can enhance your ability to navigate challenges and savour moments of growth.
10. Adaptability:
    
    • Recognize that transformation is a dynamic process. Be open to adjusting your approach based on what works best for you.

Remember, the journey of transformation is unique to each individual, so tailor these suggestions to align with your personal preferences and goals.

Best of luck on your transformative journey in 2024!

 One day, in a moment of self-reflection, I found myself asking out loud, "Why do I not see Spirit like other Mediums?" Little did I know that the answer would unfold in an unexpected way.
Upon returning home from work, I began the routine task of uploading photos of a vacant property onto my computer. As the images appeared on the screen, a face suddenly materialized, catching me off guard and sending a chill down my spine. It was as if the unseen had responded to my earlier question.
In a state of bewilderment, I immediately called my friend who had accompanied me to take the property photos. Her confirmation that no one else had been on the property with us intensified the mystery. It was a moment that transcended the ordinary, leaving me with a profound realization that sometimes, the answers to our questions reveal themselves in the most unexpected ways.
📸 Capturing the Unseen: This experience not only startled me but also opened a portal to the extraordinary, reminding me that the spirit world may choose unique ways to make its presence known.

🌙 Navigating the Lunar Energies: A Month of Confusion, Frustration, and Magic
The past month has been a mix of muddy confusion, frustration, and unexpected magic. How can such contrasting experiences coexist? Best-laid plans often change, requiring an open and creative mind. If you seek new opportunities, keep your list concise, and believe in the magic of the moon.
Learning Beyond Pain: In life, we often associate pain with learning, but there are alternative paths. Reframe past hurts and embrace multiple ways of learning. The full moon energy invites reflection and taking it easy.
Retrograde Challenges: Writing yesterday proved challenging in retrograde; connections took two hours, only to lock. Today, with clarity, I embrace the notion of slowing down. Even my treadmill is repurposed as a clothes horse!
Letting Go of Heavy Emotions: This is the time to release heavy emotions. Check your shoulders, shake off the weight, and take a nature walk. Recognize triggers; are they worth your energy?
Mother's Update: Dementia is a journey only truly understood through experience. Mary, after a month in the hospital, was diagnosed as not capable. A surreal moment—being told you are no longer capable. Forgetting home, family, and experiencing a split mind, she now resides in a secure home.
Understanding What Matters: Take time to understand what truly matters to you. Today is for relaxation, reading, walks, or seeking insights through a reading. Life's lessons are opportunities for growth; are you still a victim?
What the Cards Reveal: The wands signify progress after overcoming steps and blocks. Mental willpower propels you forward; take accountability and finish what you've started. The Drum echoes a clear message: clear the cobwebs from your inner vision. Guidance isn't imagination; it has the potential to become reality, especially if it persists.
🌸 Embrace the Moon, Spring, and Your Learning Journey. If you seek guidance, I'm here.

In the dance of life, the new is here, and the old is making noise, fading away. Ahead lies a winding road, and the story we tell ourselves will shape this journey—whether it feels fearful or hopeful.
A Major Change Unfolds: As a major change looms, the road may seem endless. Yet, it's the narrative we craft that determines the tone of our journey.
A Lesson from Resilience: Recently, my mother found herself in the hospital, assessed as not capable. Yet, in a conversation, she shared that each morning brings hope and happiness. Her sense of safety and care prevails, detached from the path she once knew. Unconsciously, she embraces the present, free from judgment or expectations, finding calm in appreciating the moment.
The Power of Perspective: Her attitude is a beacon—no attachment to the past or worry about tomorrow. Together, we reveled in stories, singing songs linked to cherished memories. She lives in her story, loving every moment.
Two Paths, Two Attitudes: From this experience, a lesson emerges—two options when faced with difficulty. One can be drained by betrayal, or one can live knowing they are on the right path.
Crafting Your Reality: Feeling betrayed by a challenging path is a choice. The story we tell ourselves shapes our reality. My mother's optimism teaches that the future, unknown and unseen, is embraced with open arms.
Words of Wisdom: "Do not feel betrayed that your current path is a difficult one. It is the story you tell yourself that will be your reality."
🌈 Embrace Hope, Craft Your Story, and Navigate the Journey with Purpose.

Having done readings for over thirty years, it still intrigues me when a client contacts me and says they had come for reading over ten years ago. I use this opportunity to ask questions about where I had met them as it reminds me of my journey. I like to reminisce on those times, how far I have come, and all I have learned, including those who have come and gone from my life.
Selfies weren’t invented back in the day, and it was usual to have boxes of photographs you could reminisce over. My photo collection has a gap from when camera phones were invented. I now have sporadic family pictures, all digital! If technology blows up, all the photos will disappear. How big is that cloud?
There is nothing nicer than holding a polaroid. I realised this when a friend showed me an old photograph of our children when they were around two.   Her daughter and my son were sitting on the steps of her house eating ice cream. I took a photo of the photo! But what surprised me the most was holding that photograph and being transported back in time. Where did we live, who was around, and what was the occasion? You could almost smell the past.
There is nothing like an old photograph. It evokes emotion as you recall the stories around it. People would take photos because of an event or occasion.   Not just random selfies for no real reason except narcissism (love and light people)
The film would be taken to the store to be developed, and you waited a week to get them back. There you would pick them up and together recall the stories, and memories were created as you are reminded of what you looked like or how you felt at the time. Were you happy or sad?   Are the people still in touch?
I talked to a friend about not recalling much when I was eighteen, nor did I have photos around that age. I had forgotten what type of person I was, my fashion sense (bad being the 80s), and my personality. You did not take photos of yourself and post them online; none of that existed. When I discussed this with a friend, she asked about an old boyfriend I went out with when I was eighteen. It was a conversation around the ‘what’s’. What is he doing now, what does he look like, and what has happened? The algorithms of the exchange must have gotten into the ether. Without a word of a lie, I received a message from him. Via Facebook, he said he was cleaning out his stuff and found an old photo of us. There I was, an eighteen-year-old girl with an eighteen-year-old boy. I was once so young and innocent, not like the girls today. They have so much more confidence. I sent the image to my kids and said, “Look, mum was young once.” They ignored me!
I was slim, youthful, and innocent, dressed in a sparkly red top and a cream skirt, which I would have made, as I did back then—looking loved up with my man, who looked attentive towards me, with his arms around me. Were we in love? To the untrained eye, we may have looked that way.   He wore red pants and a cream top; weirdly, we were colour-coordinated. I joked that we should capture that day, dress up the same, and take a photo.
I asked him where we were going. All dressed up in our eighty’s clothes. Of course, he would not remember, as I did not.
A picture paints a thousand words. Sadly, that young man broke my 18-year-old heart. Did we reconnect as older people? Yes, we met up thirty years later. Captured the fun times, remembered the bad times, and caught up to what we are doing now. Once the conversation ended, we reconnected to our current lives and said goodbye.
Should the past stay in the past? 
Friends come and go. But the memories remain. Our brain has a way of manipulating memory, good or bad. Photographs can speak a thousand words, like the happy photograph of two 18-year-olds. My story and his memory of that picture would differ, but does that matter?
