Steve Judd's Monthly Forecast.

Global: The Taurus new Moon on April 25th is quiet, but the Libra full Moon on April 9th is full of opportunity for some, with real chances for growth and expansion. Over the long term, April is seen as a month of energies jockeying for position in readiness for what is coming in mid/end May. But in the short term,... Read On

Turn Off The Lights - You Are The Light

sugar loaf
Did you turn out your lights on Saturday in support of a more eco-friendly world, and to highlight the damaging effects of climate change worldwide? Here in Rio de Janeiro, the floodlights that adorn our stunning Sugar Loaf Mountain were turned off, as were the lights around Corcovado, the statue of Christ as it overlooks the city. It was quite amazing actually, to see them all aglow one minute and gone the next. We are so used to seeing them through the hours of darkness that we don’t even consider the knock on effect of this superficial city glitz. One thing for sure is that no matter how much we bury our heads in the sand, we cannot deny that the world is undergoing some massive shifts and changes. We can ignore it or we can face up to it and do something about it... and that also means looking inside ourselves. After all, how can we save our environment and habitat if we can’t save ourselves?

3 Simple Secrets How to Create an Instant Bestseller

Hummingbirds Of Tireless Joy

Something quite incredible happened yesterday here in Rio de Janeiro. While my husband and I were on our way to our favourite cafe, for our weekend coffee and freshly baked croissants, we passed by an insignificant bed of quite tall yellow flowers, seemingly uncared for at the edge of the patterned pavement.

The streets are always busy with a multitude of cars and people and tranquil is not a word I would use to describe the ambience. But as we were picking our way down the uneven black and white paving something flashed by me. At first I thought it was a large dragonfly and I was curious to try and follow its path and find it in the flowers. Read On...

Symphony Of The Soul

by Penni du Plessis


The Antaneea work that I developed is called “Time Work”, and assists in aligning the time gateways on the planet with the galactic gateways. Now if you are struggling to understand what this means, let me explain…. Think of an orchestra playing a symphony. When one or more of the musicians are out of time, or off key – it affects the end result. Your audience may not now what is happening, but they feel the discord, and don’t enjoy the music.
