January 2014 "Rants & Raves"

Happy New Year to you all!  I am soooo glad the holidays are over!  I have spoke to a few of you that are kicking off the New Year with some New Year’s Resolutions and I think that is great!  Just keep them realistic so you don’t set yourself up for failure.

Remember that 2014 is all about “Change”.  If you continue to do the same thing you will get the same results.  It only takes a few small changes in your daily routine believe it or not, to change up everything.  Change your route to work, location of your grocery store, a different banking branch or a different route home.  You will be surprised what this can result in.  I know a few of you are beginning Reiki, Yoga, Meditation and workouts, that is wonderful, now stick with it!

This first of the year for me, has started with everything mechanical breaking down.  (Except the computers, I went through that back in August.)  Could it be because we have two Super Moons in this month of January?  I think I will choose to look at it as “Clearing out the old”.  I have also started the year with adding to my workout routine thanks to a friend of mine.  This has REALLY been a challenge for me.  I dropped two sizes at the end of last year, and that has given me the incentive to “Step it up”.  No special secrets, just eating right, working out and LOTS of water.

A couple of days ago, I was asked a question on Twitter of what professional psychic that I would recommend.  Though I have met several of the popular ones, I have not personally had a reading with them, so I really don’t know.  It is true that we have a hard time reading for ourselves and often trade readings.  Unfortunately, the two that I would recommend have married and are no longer offering readings.  I have a hard time recommending anyone that has not read for me personally.  Although I do encourage that you seek more than one source.

The best time to catch me for a psychic reading is in the afternoon, and late evenings until the wee hours of the morning.  This is because I deal with so many varying time zones.  If you are local and seeking a reading in person, I do offer them from time to time in the Chester area.  Upcoming in February, I will also offer them at the Aqua Lounge located on Main Street in downtown Richmond. (Check my “Events” calendar on my website.)

The Tarot Card Workshop Part II, is schedule for Saturday Feb. 1^st at 4PM in the conference room at the Econo Lodge in Chester, VA.  If you are interested in Part I, this will be offered online in Google Hangouts soon, so stay tuned.  You don’t have to be local for this.

For those that have asked me about Jaselyn, she is doing great and a real doll!  She will turn 2 months old this week.  The time is flying by!  Her mom has also returned to work.

A few of you emailed me in reference to a comment I made on my last blog about not giving a psychic your birthday.  I don’t believe in it!  I have yet to figure out “Why” they would need your birthday.  This will allow them to tune into your zodiac sign, to which they are bound to hit home with one of your traits.  This, along with several of my clients, have prompted me to do the video on Psychic Scams.  I have done a piece on this before, but I continue to hear from those that are out of thousands of dollars.

If you are on the social networks, be sure to look for me on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.  Your free monthly horoscope will go up Feb. 1^st.

Until next time…

Jackie's horoscopes for January 2014

A glimpse into 2014...

Each year, I get many requests for the overall predictions for the upcoming year.  I have to admit that I am never crazy about publishing these.  Some can embrace and adapt to change while others will read the worst into these.   The same as some view our Nation as healing while others tend to fear the end.

Overall, 2014 appears to be the year of “Movement and advancement”.  What I mean by this is that many will advance towards their goals in 2014.  Taking the “Action” needed to get there.  This also appears to be the year of “Material items”.  Many will be making purchases that have been put on hold for the last few years.  Anything from appliances, vehicles, homes and home improvements. 

2014 appears to be “Financially moderate”, meaning that it will be better for most of us.  It does appear to be a year of slow progression.  For those into real estate, this appears to pick up late summer to mid fall of 2014. 

Overall this is a year of high emotions, with many highs and many lows.  (This has to happen to allow “Change” to occur.) This in itself will bring about a lot of restless energy.

Worldwide natural disasters appear to increase in magnitude.  Hurricane season from the Atlantic basin appears to be milder than normal.  I am anticipating problems to occur in California (Anaheim area) as well as Texas, (Dallas area). ( I really do not go too far into this because those that know me well, know how irritated I get that psychics claim to predict hurricanes and tornadoes during hurricane and tornado season!)

Problems with the US Government appear to continue throughout the year of 2014, this will affect many Government programs.  I also anticipate problems for those receiving assistance.  Will there be another Government shut down?  There will be many talks and discussions regarding this matter.  “IF” it occurs, I will describe it as being brief.

One thing that you can definitely count on is an increased military presence here in the US.  The delays that you see at the airlines since 9-11, is just the beginning.  Military presence will be seen in many places that were not seen before.

Mercury Retrograde is always a time frame in the year that you can expect the unexpected.  These are generally emotionally charged and are not the time to begin new projects.  The dates for Retrograde are:

February 6^th to February 28^th

June 7^th to July 1^st

October 4^th to October 28^th

You may also find these dates throughout the year on my website, on the horoscope page, or my Events calendar.

Inspired by Chara out of Mississippi, “Does history repeat itself”.  Yes, I believe it does!

Look for my YouTube clip on 2014 psychic prediction.  A comparison of 2014 to ten years ago in 2004, and 20 years ago in 1994.

Wishing you all a Safe & Happy New Year!

Until next time…

December 2013 "Rants & Raves"

I am sure that most of you are running around getting geared up for the holidays. (For those that are traveling, be safe!)  This year I have opted out of the whole Christmas decorating scene.  With a new baby around there is not a lot of room, besides next year will be more of the time that she will be into the Christmas tree (literally) and into lights.  And yes, I am one of those last minute shoppers, so in other words my shopping will probably begin this week.  This year I have much to be grateful for and looking forward to the holidays!

A Sagittarius, yes, my birthday was on the 12^th, and I thank you all for the birthday wishes.  (Remember do not EVER give a psychic your birthday during a reading, because they can tap into your zodiac sign!)  This time of year brings many personable emails from pictures of your Christmas trees, family pets to family recipes.  Just to let you know I read every single one of them and enjoy them all!

The crazy Virginia weather has already bought us some ice, leaving us without power for a few hours.  I imagine that we can expect more of this in the month of January.  Around the same time, I did manage to get out my December Newsletter.  If you wish to be on the mailing list, please email me directly to Jackie@ms-swami.com.  I try to get these out each quarter as I believe monthly is excessive.  (And I personally HATE spam!)  Also, if you are not receiving them, and have not opted out, it is because I do not have your current email address!  Please contact me with your new email so I can get you back on the list.

For my Reiki practitioners, if you have not had the opportunity to work on an infant, I highly recommend it.  At 3 weeks old, Jaselyn had her first adjustment and what an amazing experience.  I have never seen charkas so out of alignment before, and I must say that she enjoyed it. 

I have received a couple of emails asking if the ReikiCourse can be purchased as a gift.  The answer to that is yes, as well as gift certificates for psychic readings.  This option is available year around by emailing me directly on my website.  The 12-month forecast is most popular this time of the year.  I would like to remind everyone that these are extensive reports that take me awhile to generate, so please allow 24-48 hours for delivery.

New in December, I have re-established my YouTube channel that was originally set up for me in 2010.  What you can expect is some Vlogs (Video Blogs, some of my psychic babbles, reiki, the paranormal, and a glimpse into my personal life.)  These videos will NOT replace my blog.  (More or less, in addition to.)  So please take the time to stop by and subscribe, as it will send you email notifications when a video is added.  I plan to upload a piece on 2014 astronomy in the next few days.  Also, in the next few days you can look for my blog on “Upcoming in 2014”, for some of next years predictions.

In January, you can look for “The Tarot Card Workshops” to return.  Part II, will be at the local level, so feel free to join us at Central Virginia Psychic Development &Paranormal Research.  For those that missed Part I, Part I will be offered in January online.  (Details coming soon!)

In 2014, I do plan to keep the “Free email follow up” for paid readings for as long as possible, for those that have paid for readings.  This gives a great opportunity for those that may have forgotten to ask a question during your reading.  Your free monthly horoscopes will remain for 2014.  January’s will include a glimpse of your year ahead.

As always, if you encounter any problems on my website, please do not hesitate to email me.  A lot of times, these problems are discovered by you.

I do have plans with family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  I will be available for psychic readings, but the availability will be sporadic.  I will post the availability on my Twitter feed and Facebook.

What are you New Year’s Resolutions???  Remember the best form of therapy is “Self Improvement” in any form!  From August to the last 2 weeks of December, I have hit my fitness goal.  Therefore I plan to step this up a notch in January!

Upcoming….2014 Predictions

Merry Christmas!

Jackie's horoscopes for December 2013

November 2013 "Rants & Raves"

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  It is amazing how things can change in the small course of 12 months.  Last year for Thanksgiving, I found myself having a complete meltdown when realizing it would be my last Thanksgiving with my mother.  This year I find myself celebrating with my new Granddaughter!

Meet "Jaselyn Cassidy"  born Friday November 22nd at 1:30PM, 6 lbs 2 oz and 19.5 inches long.  Both her and her mother came home this past Monday and both are doing well.  She made it on the first day of Sagittarius, and is a blonde.  (My Mother's side of the family.) Skin tone?  We will have to wait and see.  My Mother's side are all dark complected from a long blood line of Cherokee and Italians.  My daughter however is fair complected and a dirty blonde.  (Though her color changes constantly due to cosmetology.)
Overall she is a really good baby and I could not be happier for both of them!

Prior to Jaselyn's birth, November has been a really busy month for me.  I was delighted to have the Virginia Historical Society contact me to participate in their new documentary "Virginia Voices".  This is currently still in the works and will be released later in 2014.  My daughter and I are currently working on another filming project that we will be able to release more at a later date.

Vlogs?  Video Blogs.... I have been approached by a few as to if this is something I will do.  To be honest, I am considering it.  Possibly the first of the year?  I do have a new computer system with a webcam so it is possible.  By the way, I am new to Windows 8, so if you have any tips or advice to lend, I am certainly open to it as I am a little dumbfounded by this operating system.

November for me has been a month of "Reconnecting".  By that I mean that I have seen family and friends that I have not seen in years!  It has been wonderful!

My new ad campaign launched in the month of November (a little delayed) and is doing well.  (Groupon user's look for me there!) Due to the filming projects and my daughter's pregnancy, my availability has been a little "off" to say the least.  Currently I am back on track and available tonight and through the weekend.  The best time for psychic readings remains 1PM to 1AM Eastern.  For random holiday specials, be sure to follow me on Twitter.  I will be running a normal schedule for the month of December for the exception of a quick day trip to North Carolina that I am most excited about!

Upcoming in December I hope to work in a "Meet & Greet" for Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research.  Hopefully I will be able to due this without short notice.  This will be for like-minded people to come together and share what we would like to do in 2014.  I have many inquiries to the Part II, of the Tarot Card Workshop, and as of now, that will take place in late January.

At some point in December I plan to start revamping our website for CVAPI. (Central Virginia Paranormal Investigations).  I am currently seeking a volunteer that is fluent with YouTube in helping me get some of our older case files online.  If you are interested, please email me at Jackie@cvapi.com.

A lot of my month of December is preparing my final accounting for the year, so I will be spending a lot of time in my office.

Be sure to join me on Facebook as I post there often!  I am going to wrap this up with the number #12, handed down from my daughter from a facebook game, of 12 random facts that you may not know about me:

1.  I was a vegetarian for 7 years.
2.  I married in my senior year of high school.  (Married at 18, my daughter at 19, divorced at 20, and built        our home at 21).
3.  "Sasha" is my third husky and 13 1/2 years old.  I also have a soft spot for cats.  (We have two, one
     inside and one outside.)
4.  I rarely drink alcohol and when I do, the "Psychic senses" are more than wide open!
5.  I keep my social circle small because I HATE needless drama.
6.  Though I am a ghost hunter, I do not like closed in places (car window always cracked) and am scared
     of heights and reptiles.  (Yes, I hate frogs and blue tailed lizards may as well be the size of dragons!)
7.  I love to just pick up and "Go".  I am not much of a planner.  (A Sagittarius trait.)
8.  I am really into aromatherapy.   Lavender is my favorite scent and I grow my own.
9.  I LOVE to read and rarely take the time to do so.  I also had trouble learning to read as a child.
10.  I am really not that fond of chocolate and never have been.  (For the exception of chocolate pie!)
11.  I have ALWAYS thought that clowns are just creepy.
12.  I am 100% happy just being me!  :)

If you are traveling for the holidays, please be safe!

You can reach me directly at Jackie@ms-swami.com.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
