It’s a beautiful day, the weather is pleasant, and you’re feeling inspired to start writing your new year’s resolution when your phone rings and it’s your friend who is calling. They’re having a bad day because their job application was rejected, and they need to take their pet to the vet, but they’ve also misplaced their car keys. Then they…
This is being posted on the 6th of December, the feast of St. Nicholas (b 270 AD). Santa Claus, indeed! Do you believe in Santa Claus? I certainly do! I recall one Christmas when my family didn’t have much money and I wasn’t expecting gifts from my sisters or my mother that day. But Santa Claus left me a present…
November holds the promise of new beginnings, being that it exudes the mystical power of the number 11 – the portal of transformation. The month also brings creativity and strong intuition. We can actually do manifestation rituals when the clock strikes 11:11 or make a wish or pray with intention on the 11th of November. For this reading, I use…
Have you read this commentary of popular TV personality Bianca Gonzalez? Allegedly, “nababahala siya sa mga mahihilig magmura sa social media (She is becoming increasingly irritated by the growing number of social media users who are accustomed to using profanities)”. She mentioned on her Twitter page that derogatory words like Bobo (moron), Tanga (stupid), Gago (foolish) are becoming prevalent in…
Dreams exist in an enigmatic realm that is neither here nor there, where the part of the self that exists outside of the physical, three-dimensional body is free to roam or devoid of control. In dreams, the mind explores a domain of uncanny sights, sounds, and experiences, as if guided by an unseen source. Ideas, feelings, and behaviours all…
We’ve made it to the fourth quarter of the year! October brings hope, as it carries the vibration of the number 8 (October is the 8th month in the old Romulus calendar), which means wealth, abundance, fertility and peace. October is also Holy Rosary month, with the liturgical feast of the Lady of the Holy Rosary falling on October 7.…
The pandemic continues, and the unemployment rate rises. Workers are being laid off in large numbers as well. Those who were kept had to take pay cuts or do the work of two or more people. Companies are streamlining their workforce to cut costs – in order to survive the pandemic, they said. Because there are fewer jobs available, a…
September is the ninth month of the year, however it is the seventh month in the Roman calendar. September is my favorite month because it is my birth month! So, a shout out to all of my September birthday celebrants (email me and I’ll send you a free reading!). September marks the beginning of our quarter-year-long Christmas holiday in the…
The month has brought the world bad news – from the ongoing coronavirus mutations saga, which is now bringing on the Delta and other variants as emerging threats; the deadly floods in China from July, which are still making headlines this month; the recent 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti, which killed hundreds; and the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.; and possibly…
Today is Friday the 13th – a day replete with ominous superstitions metaphorically represented by black cats, bogey man, cauldron-stirring witches, and more. How about the image of an old lady sitting behind a creaking spinning wheel – how does it make you feel? Spooky? Sinister? Yes, she is called a spinster – possibly brewing potions too, or doing magick…
Halloween is in November but there is another month that is associated with “ghosts”. In several Asian cultures, August is also called the Hungry Ghost Month – the seventh lunar month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. On the 15th lunar day of this month, this Buddhist-Taoist festival is celebrated. That means, this year, it is celebrated on 22 August. Meanwhile, the…
The month of July is what I consider the cusp of the year, even though June is the 6th month and is thus, the middle of the year. But I feel that July is a calmer month since things have settled in following uncertainties, anticipations and adjustments we might have encountered from early in the year leading up to June…
