Astrology, Healing, Yoga, and Metaphysics in the Riviera Maya.

By Jyotishi Devata

December 1st begins the month with a full moon in Taurus. The Moon is exalted, or in its best placement in Taurus, so this month begins with a very sweet tone.  Don’t’ be surprised to hear from those who have not expressed their love for you in a while. Love blossoms in all aspects.

Saturn is now in Virgo for the next 2 ½ years, so anyone who has a birthday between September 15th to October 15th, will have Saturn transiting over their Sun. This represents a time of discipline and, in general, a stronger work load. For October Saturn is right behind the Sun if you were to look into the sky with a telescope.

I am sorry that I missed last month. It was a huge learning curve for me which I would like to share. Ketu, or south node of the moon for those of you who have some western astrology knowledge, is transiting my Sun exactly. Ketu is the ‘chia graha’ in Sanskrit, which means, ‘shadow planet’.

I am so excited to write about this time. One of my favorite quotes is , “Life is not measured by the breathes you take but by that which takes your breath away”. If you listen carefully you will find that we are NOW in such times. The Planets are beautiful!

 My favorite author for the past 5 years is Dr. David Hawkins. He began with Linus Pauling, whom many of you will remember as the “Vitamin C Doctor”. I am just reading his 7th, and latest book, after being stunned by his ground breaking, “Power vs. Force”, which I highly recommend to everybody! I’d like to include a quote from this last book. 

The US Embassy has released a statement in regards to the flu outbreak in, and around, Mexico City.

~Warden Message -Flu Outbreak in Mexico April 24, 2009~
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico advises that as a precaution, Mexican authorities closed all schools in the Federal District and in the State of Mexico on April 24, 2009 as the Mexican Secretariat of Health announced hundreds of cases of flu in the country, some of which may be the H1N1 strain of “swine flu”. Some other public institutions, such as museums and government offices, are also closed. Exact numbers of the people infected with the various strains of flu are unavailable. The U.S. Embassy has no additional information about closures.

One of the greatest visions, in the sky here in the Riveria Maya, is when you are able to see Venus in the sky. Currently Venus is exalted in Venus, which means the vibration of love is strong, and Venus is in Pisces for the entire month, which is also great for romance. On April 15th, Mars moves into Pisces as well. The message is surrender to your heart messages.  

Spa Itza; treat yourself to a day of pampering in Playa del Carmen.

By Sara Moen

I was recently contacted by Spa Itzá to do a site inspection, and they also invited me to try a deep tissue massage, and a Maya Healing Bath during my visit; how could anyone say no to an offer like that?? I made an appointment to meet the PR Manager, Jose Luis Lopez as well as majority partner/director Sharon Sedgwick. Upon arriving at the spa I was greeted by a friendly young man behind the desk who promptly offered me a cool towel and a drink of water while I waited for Jose and Sharon.
