Remember that\u00a0 \u201cThe Way Out is the Way In\u201d and we must dive inside to find out who we really are.\u00a0 We are really Divine Beings living for a time in a human body.

She tells us that Skanda Shasti<\/a> (6 Days of Muruga) is coming up and Lord Muruga, the god of the Pleiades, can help us with all the problems we think we have in this life! Muruga can open our third eye<\/a>, help us with legal problems, and real estate matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

She gives us a heads-up that Mars is entering Capricorn soon and that Muruga is also the overlord of Mars.\u00a0 The energy of Muruga and Mars will be very strong in a few weeks, especially in the realm of relationships. We can use the fiery energy to mend our relationships and let forgiveness take place.<\/span><\/p>\n
