Hello everyone and welcome to my Blog, Spirit Connections.  For those of you who are new, these posts are similar to the ones I w​ould post in my Newsletter.  Astrology has always been one of my hobbies so I include general astrological patterns with angel oracle cards and angel tarot cards to help us gain a better understanding of the current energies.   Feel free to post comments below.  (​Sharing guidelines- Please do not copy or reproduce any part of this blog without consent.  If you do share, please quote and fully credit myself and/or my web site)

​On December 25, 2015, we had a Full Moon in the Astrological sign of Cancer.  This is a special Full moon because this is the first time there has been a Full moon on Christmas since 1977.  It was the year that Chiron was discovered and also the year the first Stars Wars movie was released.  Cancer is a water sign of the zodiac, ruled by the moon and also relates to areas of security, home, foundation of the self, motherhood, ancestors, family, relationships, culture and our emotional states.  Full moons are a time of endings, surrendering what no longer serves us so we can allow healing to take place.  It is important to nurture ourselves and pay attention to what our emotions and feelings are telling us.  Sensitivities and emotions are heightened.  Take time to meditate, go within and get in touch with your deepest feelings.  This may bring up issues from a past life or the recent past that need to be resolved.  Honor and trust your feelings.  

This Full Moon in Cancer will encourage you to look within yourself and really tune into your emotions- what are they trying to tell you?  Full Moons bring things to light issues that need to be dealt with, this can occur in any area of your life and with this full moon in cancer it is also tied in with family relationships.  Although issues can arise, remember you always have a choice on how you react to these situations.  You don't have to get involved in any drama or negativity. Any situation or relationship that is not in alignment with your authenticity,  you will be ready to let it go.  Listen to your heart and trust your intuition.  Do your best to keep things positive and radiate out love, even to those who you don't get along with; it will reduce the stress and drama while having a positive effect for everyone involved.  

In addition, this Full Moon in Cancer will assist us in mending the relationship with ourselves, friends and families, even if you agree to disagree.  Letting go of old negative emotions and unforgiveness will be very liberating.  This is also a time of when we are reminded that we are all one, we are all connected, and in spite of our differences, the common thread we all have is "love."  It's who we are and when remember who we truly are; we can rise above our ego and see the light and love within ourselves and others.  This will help us to let go of old emotional negative patterns so we can move forward and co-create with Spirit the life we desire.  

I was guided to pull a card from the Angels of Atlantis deck by Stewart Pearce for a message from the Archangels.  (the Archangels in this deck are represented by orbs).  The Archangel that came through was Archangel Hanael (also spelled "Haniel") with the message of "Hope"  This is a reminder for you not to give up on your hopes, dreams and wishes.  (this also echoed the messages on my Facebook page for this weekend) Despite disappointments and setbacks, Archangel Hanael is letting us know that Spirit (symbolized by the dove of peace) will help to uplift us and give us a sense of renewed "hope" in our lives.  Let go and allow unconditional love and compassion from Spirit and the angelic realm to flow through you; it will renew your soul and heart with "hope" knowing that you can get through difficult times.  This will also allow healing of your root chakra (first chakra) which is about our physical and emotional needs being met.  Archangel Hanael can assist in your healing process so you can honor and acknowledge all parts of who you are, and align with your authenticity.   As you move through this Full Moon period and allow healing, you will feel a sense of renewed hope and faith that will propel you forward on your life path.  The unconditional love and compassion from Spirit and the angelic realm will also help to bring balance back into your life so you can focus on making healthy positive changes.  This will expand to your outer world as you create from the heart and prepare for 2016.  Love & Blessings, Christine Halliwell ATP®

Hello everyone, this is my first blog for my new web site.  In this blog and future blogs, I will discuss metaphysical topics, energy shifts and share my spiritual journey with you.  Welcome to all the new followers and for those of you who have followed me since the beginning (which is quite a way back, lol!)  thank you for your never ending love, friendship and support.  

This month of December 2015 is about connecting to our passions and expressing our authenticity so we can move forward on our life path.  What inspires and ignites your passions? Immerse yourself in the higher vibrations of joy and your passions.  What does joy feel like to you?  For some, it could be watching children play, for some it could be hiking outdoors, everyone will have a different response, but notice how the moments of joy make you feel good inside and feel lighter.  Go with those feelings and make sure to incorporate it into your life.  As you take time for yourself and do self-care and self nurturing; you will be better able to tap into those activities that ignite your passions and bring you joy.  Your heart will lead the way and your intuition will guide you.  We create from love, not fear.  You have a unique purpose here on earth; don't let fear, negativity, or naysayers dictate your choices or hinder you from being your authentic self.  Archangel Michael is with us as we step forward in our personal power and make healthy positive changes, call on him to assist you.  Remember who you are and shine on!  Love & Blessings, Christine Halliwell ATP®
