The Red Phoenix - Feng Shui; Aromatherapy, Cooking Through the Seasons

The Red Phoenix - Feng Shui; Aromatherapy, Cooking Through the Seasons Feng Shui, Aromatherapy, Cooking Through the Seasons It promises us Health, Happiness and Prosperity. I am a trained Certified Aromatherapist.

I am a Feng Shui Practitioner trained in both Classical Feng Shui (Form School and Compass School) as well as Contemporary Feng Shui (Black Sect Esoteric Buddhist School of Feng Shui). Feng Shui can help us balance the negative energies in our lives and bring us back into alignment with the forces that be. My diploma is from the American College of Healthcare Sciences and I continue to study toward becoming a Clinical Aromatherapist via Aromahead Institute, the Robert Tisserand Institute and East West School of Aromatic Studies. Aromatherapy can help heal our bodies and our emotions (inside and out). We can use it aromatically via a diffuser or spray, topically as a cream, salve or spray, and also internally (with guidance and caution). Another passion of mine is Cooking Through the Seasons! I have been known to spend an entire day with my daughters and friends, cooking, baking and of course, sampling the products of the day! I love to entertain and spend time with family and friends. My favorite times are when I look around the room or patio and see my family and friends smiling, laughing and talking. My philosophy is Life is Short so I plan to enjoy as much of life as I can. I really believe that even folding the laundry, doing dishes and taking out the trash should be enjoyable. We need to Enjoy the Everyday!

Venus is in the final degrees of orderly Virgo this weekend, preparing to move into its home sign (and happy place)—of harmonious Libra on Monday, but it aspects the transpersonal planets throughout the week that will color its expression and your experience. Notice your Venus experience as it connects with a network that is beyond the beyond...

Oct 11 - Venus opposite Saturn. Because Venus rules relationships, $$, worthiness, values, creativity and what makes life worth living, you may encounter an obstacle or limitation today. This is about decision-making, and if you hit a bump, you may have to consider whether it's worth your time, energy and/or $$. Shaky relationships may feel the strain.

Where do you need to create restraint, take care of business or get real regarding Venus issues? What comes up today (if anything) will give you the message. Do the work, make a decision, face reality and adjust as necessary, or if you wait a few days the Venus energy will shift dramatically. Then you can reassess and act accordingly.

Oct 13-Nov 6 - Venus in Libra. This is relationship-oriented energy, seeking beauty, peace and balance; the diplomat and negotiator who harmonizes the environment, always with an eye on the other. Radiating peace from within (as opposed to being in reaction to external cues), is a high level expression of Venus in Libra. Think of affecting an environment by BEING what you desire.

Venus in Libra is strategic, fair and can be a shrewd dealmaker, so focus on your heart's desires and how you can create via a "win-win" scenario. What if everyone can win? Maybe let that be an intention...

Oct 13 - Venus opposite Neptune. Venus-Neptune create the spine of a Kite pattern; a dynamic opposition contained within a flowing Grand Trine in Air (Venus in Libra, Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini). This goes to connections, shared info and innovative seeds being planted and germinating in the ethers, to appear later. This fertile, creative energy is working its magic beyond what our human minds can grasp or comprehend yet. The future is being created now in the unseen, moment by moment.

On a personal level, Venus opposite Neptune can allow space to focus on a dream, spiritual practices, a vision or your heart's desire. It can also create confusion, disillusionment, idealizing others or being suggestible. Let yourself play in consciousness and stretch beyond the boundaries of your mind to explore your visions. Discover what's in there—if it's in your consciousness, there's a message for you.

Oct 13 - Pluto Stations Direct. Pluto has been Retrograde in Aquarius since May '25, retracing its steps and now it stops to turn Direct. This is peak intensity when Plutonian energy reverberates, as what's hidden is revealed, life and death issues are highlighted and power plays and control is featured. Watch for heightened drama on the world stage and have faith that this is serving a greater purpose that what meets the eye.

If Pluto is currently making a hard aspect to one of your personal planets or angles, you've been dealing with this for some time and you have probably faced some heavy challenges. The call is to surrender old attachments (easier said than done), followed by a path of recovery, rebuilding, recreating and a slow ascent, even if you're trudging along. Keep going, you are stronger than you know, you are worth it and it will be worth it.

If Pluto is making a harmonious aspect to a personal planet or angle, the experience you have depends on your alignment with your Authentic Self and your path. With Pluto, you are in the midst of a transformational process that is a sacred turning point in your life and this path will change you, stripping away what is not You - or not for you, leading to an evolved expression of You. This is how you recover the power you have given away to people, authorities, paradigms, comfort zones and whatever else applies for you.

Oct 14 - Venus trine Uranus. This stimulating, sparkling energy is beautiful for socializing, personal relationships, dating, style makeovers, surprise $$ and excitement. Get out of a rut, do something fresh, take a walk on the wild side and liberate your Self. If an unexpected blessing appears, gratefully receive it!

Oct 14 - Venus trine Pluto. This serves deep conversations, connections and meetings with people in which you become intimate, feel a magnetic bond, create mesmerizing art or do personal breakthrough work. This is an attraction that is passionate and what it produces or reveals can be profound. Magnetic attractions are real, that can be fruitful for work, creativity, romance, close friendships and the willingness to open on a deep level.

All this planetary energy is fertile ground for creativity, opening to new awarenesses, making connections and following what you feel drawn to. Explore. Open your heart and see where you are led.

May the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together.

🌌 The Draconid Meteor Shower takes its name from the constellation Draco, the Dragon. 🐉✨

Draco represents a celestial dragon guarding the heavens, a symbol of strength, wisdom, and transformation.

Meteor showers happen when Earth travels through clouds of comet dust and debris. In this case, the Draconids come from the comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner.

As these tiny fragments enter our atmosphere, they blaze at speeds between 11 km (7 miles) and 72 km (45 miles) per second creating those magical streaks of light we call “shooting stars.” 🌠

Every early October, Earth passes close to the comet’s orbit, awakening the dragon in the night sky. 🐉🌌

I think this is interesting. I'm always trying to focus on getting enough sleep. My goal is 7 hours each night. I reach that about 50% of the time. I do get quite excited if I sleep 8 hours!! Today, I'm setting an alarm to remind myself to go outside more often.

In Loving Memory of Andrea Butje: Her Vision Shaped Who We Are

It is with deep love and reverence that we remember our founder, Andrea Butje. An aromatherapist, educator, and visionary, Andrea’s passion for plant wisdom forever changed the field of aromatherapy.

Andrea founded Aromatics International in the early 2000s with a clear purpose: to provide her Aromahead students with the purest, most therapeutically potent products available. What began as a mission to support learning soon blossomed into a company grounded in transparency, sustainability, and connection.

Long before it became a standard, Andrea insisted on publishing third-party GC/MS reports for every essential oil we offered. She believed that knowledge empowers, and she wanted each customer to blend with confidence, knowing exactly what was in their bottle.

Andrea deeply honored the people behind the plants. She sought out small-scale distillers from around the world, partnering with farmers and producers who shared her reverence for the land, the plants, and the craft. These were more than business relationships. They were heartfelt collaborations built on trust and shared purpose.

Andrea also shared a long and close friendship with Karen Williams, who officially took over Aromatics International in 2009. Karen, Jenny, and the Williams family have carried forward Andrea’s legacy with deep care and love. Over the years, Andrea, Cindy, Karen, and Jenny spent countless hours talking about aromatherapy, distillers, and the future of essential oil work. Even after the ownership transition, Andrea and Karen were often on the phone, texting or emailing, sharing insights, new discoveries, and dreaming about what was possible for this field they loved so much.

Karen had the opportunity to be with Andrea for a few precious weeks last month, and that time was deeply special. The bond they shared—rooted in purpose and friendship—continues to shape who we are at Aromatics International.

Andrea’s light shines on in every bottle, every blend, and every relationship she nurtured. Her legacy lives at the very heart of Aromatics International.

If Andrea touched your life through her teachings or through the oils she so lovingly curated, we invite you to share a story or memory with us on our page
👉 Share your message or memory here

We’ll also be gathering together this Wednesday at 1 pm ET for a special live event celebrating Andrea. Please join us as we honor her spirit and the wisdom she shared so generously with us all. https://youtube.com/live/YGyvT2nAQXU?feature=share

I’ve gone back to school—and I’m loving it!
This summer, I enrolled in two classes through the Tisserand Institute with one of the world’s leading essential oil researchers. Today, I completed the final exam and three case studies for the Essential Oil Safety Masterclass—fingers crossed for that certificate!

Next up: beginning the week after the 4th of July, I’ll be diving into an 8-week course called Essential Oils for Healthy Skin. In the meantime, I’ve also signed up for a quick, in-depth course from Stillpoint Aromatics in Sedona, AZ: Aromatherapy and the Skin – Healing from the Outside In. It’s the perfect bridge to get my mind focused on skin health.

And once summer winds down, I’ll be starting a BIG program at the Aromahead Institute—working toward advanced aromatherapy training. But first, I need to complete an “Intro to Chemistry” class… by Tuesday!

Lots to learn and a full calendar ahead. Wish me luck—I’m excited for what’s next!
