MICHAEL JACKSON RIP 1958-2009
“To die will be an awfully big adventure”
JM Barrie
Peter Pan
I cannot think of a more appropriate quote when connecting with the life of MICHAEL JACKSON. His life was a liturgy – a sacrifice if you like to his art and it brought him the most incredible fame. But he always felt to me to be a modern day Peter Pan and the lost boys. These fictional characters from the wonderful novel by Sir J.M Barrie and the adventures in Never Land seem to epitomise his life and his entire world. The boy who never grew up and didn’t become a man.
For sure none of us can really know the workings of another’s mind, but there were certainly a lot of clues. The words to his songs and the child-like fantasy home he created for himself. I believe that Michael was so creative and so successful because he never forgot how to play.
And yet now, was his final wish really to fly home without even saying goodbye!
I don’t believe that. He wanted to perform again and chose to come to England. He told us all it would be the last time, but were we really listening. If we are honest do any of us really listen when it comes down to having our own needs met. I am sure in his soul and his heart he would have loved to come and play again, and be that immortal figure that we all really wished we could be, if only for a moment of grace. It seems that the reality was that his tiny body was really too worn out to complete the mission.
And so on June 25th 2009 we said farewell to an extraordinary being that blessed this planet we call EARTH for a short time. He brought joy, magic, light and eccentricity to all of our lives and for that we can be forever grateful. We are left with his legacy of extraordinary music, dance and magic. The like of which is hard to conceive happening again but as in all things, there will be a new time and a new being I am sure. MICHAEL WAS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS.
From my own personal experience I can only say how blessed I am to be 50. It means I got to see this giant among men on the many times he performed his magic at Wembley Stadium in England. The first concert was mind blowing – and it poured with rain. But absolutely nobody cared because we were so fixated on Michael that nothing else mattered.
Late in the 80’s, I found myself in the most amazing situation. My ex-husband was a Royal Bodyguard. He was this night assigned to Princess Diana. He knew where Michael Jackson would be arriving and where he would enter the building. He put me in an alcove – I probably shouldn’t have been there really - but I was!!! He told me to stay put and watch. Well, I did and it was wonderful. This large black vehicle pulled up and out stepped Michael Jackson and a very large man with a tall hat and several other people. I couldn’t believe it. He was there right below me. I wanted to shout or wave or something but remembered I wasn’t supposed to be there really. I just looked on in awe and then as I stared at them walking up a ramp, he looked up and smiled at me. It was my magical Michael Jackson moment. I waved and he smiled back again. I will never forget that – it seems like such a long time ago now but it is a precious memory. He went through and met Princess Diana and the rest of the evening was simply glorious.
To have shared this experience and been part of this moment in history, still fills me with awe. Michael Jackson and Princess Diana are two giants that walked amongst us for a short period of time but their demise from this planet is where we are all truly affected, in ways we may not even realise.
Princess Diana’s death changed everything. She opened our hearts and let the light flow. Now some 12 years later we see this experience happening all over again. It takes a very special person indeed to create a switch in our energy fields. Through grief we open our hearts and ascend into a new and lighter vibration of love. This time we thank Michael Jackson for the grace that is his divine being, opening and connecting us all through his music and his love.
The triple conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius aligns with this new energy of release and freedom.
We are as a species ascending into new frequencies of light and this can at times feel very heavy and very difficult when we are not used to it. Through all of us sharing however, we can together make the leap.
I pray that Michael finds rest and peace in his new home in the heavens where he can be that boy he always wanted to be. May you teach the angels to Moon Walk Michael. I will love you forever. Blessings and love to all of your family. With grace and peace Elizabeth xxx
JULY ASTROLOGICAL FORECASTS
DYAN GARRIS ANGEL CARDS at www.voiceoftheangels.com
ARIES
It is as if the bough is about to break. Will someone be there to catch you if you fall? You can no longer stand by and watch the drama unfolding in front of you. You are a proud soul but the pressure is almost unbearable as we move through the Capricorn Full Moon on 7th July. Something has to give now and if you make it YOU, it will affect your health. If you are dealing with financial issues or legal documents then know that you will have the strength to get through this time. You may well find that the powerful conjunction is giving you the opportunity to make more money, find the perfect career and open the door to a whole new life. Work in communications, media and behind the scenes in government, institutions and health are jobs where you will find great success.
Wearing purple or pink will activate your energy centres through this powerful time.
Angel card - the HEART
TAURUS
Children and childhood are areas where you can make a huge shift from your old reality. The triple conjunction is pushing hard to help you feel more settled in your new life. The potential for change here is enormous but you have to do the work. If you are trying to move abroad and waiting for documents, then the New Moon in Cancer on 22nd July should provide the impetus you need to get going. If you are making little or no headway in a particular course of study then really ask yourself if you are following your dream or just trying to make someone else happy. If you want to write a book and can’t see how it’s ever going to happen, then ask the Universe to give you a sign now. It really wants to help you see that you are a great person. You will find you take on the voice of a child later in the month and that any issue to do with family or children needs to take priority now. If you get this right, you will make a personal dream come true and all you have to do is ask at the right moment.
Wearing yellow will give you all the confidence you need to make this huge change.
Angel card - the INDIGO DOOR
GEMINI
Are you feeling tired and ready for a rest? The Universe understands it has been a long journey and you need some time out but wait a minute, haven’t you forgotten something? When did you last get an opportunity like the one that has been placed so firmly in front of you? You could be asked to give up something that right now seems so close to your heart, but that really is holding you back from becoming the person you always wanted to be. It will involve you moving a little closer to home and being a little more reserved but then isn’t that what you really want, a rest. Healing, health and home are areas where you can achieve your dreams right now. If you are a very creative Gemini and involved in the arts then look no further than your own back yard to make that special contribution to the world. Love is also looking for you this month Gemini as Venus moves through your sign. The signs of Libra, Virgo and Capricorn make excellent friends and partners.
Blue will help you clear any negativity and create peace at a very deep level.
Angel card - the CLEARING
CANCER
A very emotional diatribe could send you running for cover around the time of the Full Moon in your opposite sign of Capricorn on 7th July. Putting your own life on hold while you wait for someone else to play catch up, is really not the answer now. The Universe has set out to bring you an enormous gift, Cancer. In fact what you didn’t manage to see/notice/pickup/change, last month, it is going to present again – probably in another form this time - at the end of July, whilst the New Moon yet again, lands in your sign. This time you are the one it is shining on. If you get this right you will not only make that perfect impression but you could well steel the show. Get a makeover, change your hairstyle, find a good counsellor or take up the spiritual arts. It doesn’t matter what you do, because the Universe is listening to your inner most desires now, and it has a very good idea on how it can make your own cosmic dream come true. Show the door to those who simply aren’t on your wavelength. They will never be now. We have ascended and you have some very special work to do. See you in your new overcoat.
Wear rainbows to match your expectations.
Angel card – The BRIDGE
LEO
How do you expect people to understand you if you keep shutting them out? It really isn’t like you Leo to be so self-effacing. The Full Moon on 7th July finds you hiding yourself away. How can this be? We need to know that you are always going to be there for the rest of us. This really isn’t a time for forced isolation Leo, even if you are feeling particularly emotional right now. Friends, family and home are foremost in your mind as we accelerate through the energy of the Full Moon. If you are away from your native home or family during this month, try not to see this as enforced isolation. Sometimes, deep intense feelings such as these are a pre-cursor to a major life-changing event. It’s time to bring things out into the open and to speak your mind, especially if you are feeling lonely. July can bring you into alignment with a new career that has a social aspect. Basically, if you don’t care about something or someone and you know this in your heart, by the New Moon on 22nd July, then move on and release the emotional baggage that has become your prisoner.
Pink will enhance the love around you and create clarity.
Angel card – the GREEN DOOR
VIRGO
Your sensitivity and strength have brought you this far. It may have taken it’s toll on your physical form, but the courage you have shown, despite all odds, is about to be returned in the form of a cosmic gift. The face you are showing the world right now hides a deeper sense of worry or fear than you are letting on. Can you learn to trust in a Universe that wants to help you find a solution to your addictive habit? No matter what that is? Gemini, Capricorn and Aquarius are signs that can assist you in making a bold transition. It’s up to you how far you go, but by the New Moon on 22nd July you are ready to re-launch and release. Your very structure is changing now. Attending to personal issues with regard to weight, health and healing will bring greatest benefit to you. A new career within the caring professions could find you making and forming great new friendships, possibly romance and love. Your mental health has been worrying even you lately. Rest, recharge and watch the magic unfold.
Siblings can assist you in finding yourself again.
Red will help you to power yourself up and to feel stronger.
Angel card – the INDIGO DOOR
LIBRA
Venus, your ruler forms a square aspect to the infamous triple conjunction in Aquarius, that is causing so much stress and change right now. This powerful cosmic alignment is pushing you to make changes in the whole arena of money and security. This energy demands that you value yourself in ways you haven’t done for a long time. It wants to help you heal old wounds, both physical and emotional, and is trying to show you that you don’t have to settle for second best. It is time to be valued for your ability in sharing and caring. If you are under pressure to travel or study then hold on a minute. A new financial offer is likely after the 7th July, Full Moon. It could also lead to a very special new friendship, especially if the sign of Pisces is involved. By the New Moon on 22nd July you will have made a very special telephone call. It will link you with a new home, partner or position that enables you to shine again. And not before time!!!
Gold brings abundance of financial security.
Angel card – the RED DOOR
SCORPIO
Please listen carefully Scorpio. You are not alone and there are lots of people that really care about you. You are a very blessed being. Hey what is wrong with the above statement? Why don’t you believe that you have everything you need within you to make the changes necessary to move forward in your personal journey? Sometimes in life we can feel as if we are all alone, and if that feeling runs through the very core of you right, now don’t worry. It is essential because it wants to help you see your STRENGTH. Your mind is agile, your heart is pure and your light is so strong, many people are having trouble being in your presence. The triple conjunction of planets is pushing you to open your mind to study. Whether law, finance or psychology, the choice is yours, but you will soon take a journey that confirms how you fit into the scheme of things. You have very special inner skills Scorpio. Take time out over the next month and enjoy a holiday from your own inner mantra. Let the Universe show you what you are so gifted at doing because by 22nd July, the Cancer New Moon, you will know so much more about yourself, through the reflection of others.
Wear green and be seen as the divine being you were always meant to be.
Angel card – FATHER
SAGITTARIUS
Your higher self is calling you now. You are a leader and we are all waiting to follow. But you are not sure if you want the responsibility that goes with the job. This is definitely NOT about ego Sagi. This is a position that comes from the heart of your soul. The time is now and you simply have to listen to that inner voice that keeps asking you what you are waiting for. Your words, deeds and actions are about to make history. Whether in a small way or in a way that affects the masses. Don’t worry about simple things like home and family. They will take care of themselves. You will be where you need to be to deliver your impromptu messages. Your words will be channelled from a higher source in whatever field you service humanity. You will champion causes and follow what appear to be intangible leads, but you know in your heart that this is the only way forward. Don’t scream inside your head anymore. Put your words to paper and let us share your wisdom. The triple conjunction aligns you with some very powerful and spiritual people. It is time to let go of the real world and make it YOUR world, whatever that is to you. The angels are watching this time!!!
White light is all around you.
Angel card – Archangel URIEL
CAPRICORN
MITAKUYE OYASIN is a prayer for recognising that we are all connected on EARTH. All my relations is its meaning. It is a spiritual teaching from the Native American family of Sioux. Its intention is the understanding that all life is precious and wholly dependent on every creature that exists here. It is about reverence and respect for all life. There are life and death issues around you now Capricorn. Many serious questions to be asked and answered and some that feel almost surreal. If you maintain the path of the SIOUX all will be well. Understand that all life is just a moment in time, a simple pathway to the next stage of existence. We are all powerful in that moment and can create whatever we choose. As individuals we are given that right by the Universe. When others choose to take power from the vulnerable or to rule by fear and terror, then life is no longer in balance. You will see that there is much to do, learn and share this month. Your own creativity is being challenged and that is one of the most powerful forces that exist on planet EARTH. Do you nurture and protect or pull away and watch the story unfold? The planets show the Full Moon in your sign on 7th July pushing you to speak your truth in connection with family and children. All will be well if you follow the above prayer. Allow those around you to find their true nature and you will be blessed in return.
Calming energy is found in lavender and lilac.
Angel card – The DOLPHINS
AQUARIUS
The major triple conjunction of the planets Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron are about to realign again in your sign on the 7th July. This combines with a Full Moon in Capricorn in your sign. They align in the 26th degree of Aquarius. The Sabian Symbol
for this degree is all about tradition and values. It suggests that we will all of us be anchored in some degree of stability and identity, no matter what we may endure or experience in our lives. However it also suggests that we can get lost in superficial conventions and meaningless trappings. AQUARIANS can be extremely stubborn beings, yes just like Taureans (sorry but it’s true). But they are also convention breakers. They are the thinkers and scientists, the artisans and the mathematicians. Their skill is the ability to not get distracted by emotional fears and phobias. This incredible alignment is affecting all of us by breaking down those meaningless conventions that have held so many people in fear and poverty for so long. On a personal level it empowers YOU to be your true self in a way you have always wanted to be. This aligns in the house of service and you may be called to offer your own distinctive services to those who are really in need right now. But never forget. This is a calling by the Heavenly Bodies for you to align with your HEALING NATURE. Never forget we all have a choice…this time though it is your service that makes the rest of us BELIEVE.
Wear silver and black – you will receive all the protection you need
Angel card – Archangel RAPHAEL
PISCES
Forgive me for being so direct, but I really feel if you are a Piscean or Aquarian, aged between 24 and 28, you are about to have one hec of a roller coaster month. Just to say I am not excluding the rest of the world here – but focusing on the major energy.
For everyone else, just dumb this down a bit!! There exists around this major triple conjunction the possibility for Pisceans and Aquarians to find major love. I mean those kind of dream loves that we see in the movies. I can honestly say I don’t think I have ever written this before. So believe me when I say if you make this connection please don’t waste it. If love is not your goal then you may, in partnership, make beautiful music or art or design together in a way that changes the world. You may teach the rest of us how to dance, sing and entertain, or how to teach, study and listen. Never before have I seen such a perfect alignment of souls. If you are born under these signs and about to divorce, part or separate, then please know that you have fulfilled a major contract of karmic release, for which your soul will be divinely blessed. Pisces the end of July sees you travelling to that place where destiny awaits. Don’t be afraid to go.
WEAR crystal quartz or amethyst
