Story courtesy of MONMOUTH ARTS

T

here is a rising tide of local film fests, filmmakers, film screenings and film buffs that is lifting the cultural life of our area, creating fresh conduits of creativity and connection that are enriching spaces and places and people’s lives. The new mural on the outside wall of Kitch Organic restaurant on Red Bank’s Westside is a brilliantly bright example.

In June, the Indie Street Film Festival, Kitch Organic restaurant, and Two River Theater, all based in Red Bank, announced that they would partner in a community mural project.

After a successful mural installation created in 2016 to launch the first Indie Street Film Festival in Red Bank, festival Artistic Director Jay Webb and street artist Misha Tyutyunik, also known as MDot, teamed up in 2017 to bring public art and community engagement to Red Bank in the spirit of independent cinema and the filmmaker cooperative.

MDot would design the mural. Local youths and community volunteers would be the painters.

It would be the celebratory launch of two creative events to be hosted in Red Bank: the 2nd annual Indie Street Film Festival in July, and the 7th annual Crossing Borders (Cruzando Fronteras) Festival of new Latino plays at Two River Theater in August. Owner Joe Durso of Kitch Organic joined in and offered the exterior of his restaurant as the site for the project that was a perfect match for his restaurant’s mission “to create the healthiest, most delicious and nutritious life experience for the communities in which we serve.”

Since Crossing Borders launched in 2011, the annual five-day festival has featured free readings of more than two dozen plays, including many that have gone on to full productions at Two River (Pinkolandia, Ropes and next season’s El CoquÍ Espectacular and the Bottle of

PUBLIC ART WITH A HEART IN COMMUNITY

Doom) and elsewhere. Today, it attracts more than 700 people annually and includes English-language readings of four plays (one of which is also read in Spanish), conversations with artists following every reading, a keynote address from a leader within the Latino arts community, and a free outdoor neighborhood party with live music. A company of actors, writers, directors, and other artists will be in residence throughout the festival. Crossing Borders is curated by Stephanie Ybarra, who serves as the Director of Special Artistic Projects at The Public Theater in New York, where she leads the Mobile Unit and Public Forum programs.

INDIE STREET FILM FESTIVAL JULY 26-30 RED BANK CROSSING BORDERS AUGUST 2-6 TWO RIVER THEATER RED BANK

The Indie Film Festival is “more geared to cooperation than competition” and looks to “discover films and filmmakers who prove story is independent of budget.” The five day celebration screens narrative, documentary and animation films by New Jersey and independent filmmakers at multiple venues in Red Bank with workshops, panel discussions, filmmaker Q&A’s, live art happenings, music performances, and after-parties all over town.

And so it came to be that the corner of Catherine and Leighton Streets in Red Bank looked like a movie set on a weekend in July when Jay Webb reminded the gathering that films were about diversity and different types of people working together. Then MDot stepped up and directed some twenty volunteers, kids and adults, to grab boxing gloves with sponges attached, brushes and rollers and not be afraid to get paint all over yourselves.

“Now, let’s get messy!”

O ME FORTUNE THE T. THOMAS FORTUNE CULTURAL CENTER BRINGS HISTORY TO LIFE

By DONNA KOSENKO

A

Story courtesy of MONMOUTH ARTS

s you travel down Drs. James Parker Boulevard in Red Bank, NJ, you will notice something exciting going on as you reach number ninety-four. It is the resurrection of a house that once served as a respite in the country for the notable social justice crusader and newspaper owner, Timothy Thomas Fortune. Despite Fortune’s extraordinary life and accomplishments, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, his place in Red Bank’s history is a rich one that few are familiar with. T. Thomas Fortune and his family moved to their new home in Red Bank, NJ in the summer of 1901.

As a matter of fact, the August 7th edition of the Red Bank Register welcomed Fortune, reporting that he was “one of the most noted colored men of the country.” It further commented that his newspaper, The New York Age, was “the leading paper devoted to colored people and their interests in the United States.”

As one of only two National Historic Landmarks in NJ significant for its role in African American history, the Fortune House will soon be enjoying a new incarnation as a cultural center for the community of Red Bank. The T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center will be modeled after the tenets of Fortune: social justice, journalistic integrity, human decency, education and the advancement for all people. These tenets are the backbone of the center and will be realized through community action and engagement between the T. Thomas Fortune Foundation and the surrounding community.

The center, which is due to open in the spring of 2018, will house an exhibit room, a social gathering space for lectures and book signings, and a small library for research projects. It will offer programs for students wishing to complete their GED requirements, and a “Summer Training Institute for Teachers” designed to augment Amistad legislation, coupled with the center’s private collection of resource materials such as books, magazines, newspaper clippings of Fortune’s arrival to Red Bank and personal letters.

YOU’RE INVITED

Welcome Home Fortune

5th Annual Birthday Bash Celebration

SUNDAY OCTOBER 1, 2017

For students who want to get involved in their community in an impactful way, 12:30–1:30PM RECEPTION | 1:30–3:30PM LUNCHEON the center offers the “Fortune Teller” program. This program, which is already underway, provides a platform for students who are ready to take on the MOLLY PITCHER INN, RED BANK complex issues of justice, civil liberties and equality through civic engagement.

TICKET INFORMATION: TTHOMASFORTUNECULTURALCENTER.ORG Students will volunteer their time at the center; assist in the preparation of events, as well as hand out materials and greet guests both at the center and at our local events. These student ambassadors will be learning about social justice issues while honing their writing, leadership and teambuilding skills. Many of our “Fortune Tellers” have been given the opportunity to showcase their talents as it pertains to Fortune’s life and legacy at the Foundation’s fundraising events.

Indeed, community engagement is an integral part of the legacy of T. Thomas Fortune, since he and his family were themselves active participants in the Red Bank Community. Carrie Fortune, Thomas’s wife, played a major role in the founding of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, which is an active part of the faith-based community today. Their daughter, Jessie, became a teacher, and their son, Frederick, who graduated from Red Bank High School in the class of 1910, went on to become a successful OB/GYN surgeon.

Fortune welcomed many prominent figures to his home, including a visit from Booker T. Washington in 1901, and he considered Daniel Shomo, Lewis O. Summersett, and William E. Rock part of his inner circle. It is notable that even today; the Rock and Shomo families remain an integral part of the Red Bank Community. Fortune was a founding member of the National Afro American League, which became a precursor to the NAACP. He also founded the Afro American Business and Investment Company, so African Americans of the time could purchase homes. These accomplishments are even more impressive when you consider that Fortune was born into slavery in 1856, in Marianna Florida.

While this is merely a small glimpse at the life of Mr. Fortune, the richness of his life’s work, his legacy and his important place in history will be abundantly shared with all visitors to the future culture center.

WARNING

LATE SUMMER DANGERS:

PROCEED WITH CAUTION Summer officially lasts until mid-September and hot-weather related danger could still send people to the Emergency Department, even while families are thinking about school supplies.

by APRIL DUNIC for Riverview Medical Center

TICKS

“Due to a warm winter, we’re seeing an abundance of ticks this year,” says Stephanie Reynolds, D.O., medical director, Hackensack Meridian Health Riverview Medical Center, Department of Emergency Medicine. “Because of this, we’re also seeing an increase in Lyme disease, which, beyond its distinct bullseye rash, can cause severe illness such as the loss of facial movement, joint pains, severe headaches and neck stiffness, heart palpitations, and more. It’s a serious disease, which is why it’s important to protect yourself from ticks.”

HEAT STROKE Dr. Reynolds also warns of heat stroke in the late summer months, recommending that “Heat stroke happens when a body temperature rises above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which strains the central nervous system. Common symptoms can include nausea, confusion, seizures, loss of consciousness or worse,“ says Dr. Reynolds. “It’s extremely important to stay hydrated. People should drink approximately six to eight glasses of water each day and up to as many as eight to 10 if they’re active in the sun. Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect heat stroke.”

SUNBURN Pink or red sunburn is considered a first degree burn, which can be treated with aloe-based moisturizers as well as over-the-counter pain killers such as Ibuprofen. However, when blisters form and the skin peels away, the burn becomes classified as a second degree burn, which is much more serious and requires immediate medical attention.

“DRY DROWNING” “We always worry about swimming-related accidents in the summer,” says Dr. Reynolds. “The phrase ‘dry drowning’ has been in the news a lot lately, and although that’s not the medical name for it, it’s a serious medical condition and parents should be aware.” ‘Dry drowning’ is a condition in which water affects the vocal cords and causes the patient to develop a cough that can lead to respiratory distress. The respiratory distress is actually a laryngospasm and can lead to possible suffocation. “Always watch for coughing in the hours after exposure to water and seek medical attention to prevent the progression of this condition,” Dr. Reynolds advises.

Stephanie Reynolds, D.O., medical director, Hackensack Meridian Health Riverview Medical Center, Department of Emergency Medicine

When unsure about the seriousness of a medical condition, Dr. Reynolds recommends seeking medical attention. “It’s best to let the experts evaluate the severity of a situation,” she says “If it turns out to be nothing, you’ve lost a little time at the beach or back to school shopping. If it’s something worse, you could have potentially saved a life.”

Farm-to-Table Dinner at Kula Urban Farm

LO CAL

ike most farms in the Garden State, Kula Urban Farm in Asbury Park grows tomatoes, lettuce, herbs and other produce. But, between the rows of vegetables at this patch of green tucked between the buildings on Atkins Avenue, seeds of opportunity also are planted. The farm, a project of Interfaith Neighbors, provides part-time jobs to unemployed members of the community, helping them get training, work experience and references to springboard to good, permanent jobs. Last year, the farm employed 20 people, gave free produce to countless in need, and served many through educational workshops, school programs, and seed swaps. A second location opened this year on a lot on Springwood Ave. “There is so much vacant land in Asbury,” says farm manager Lisa Bagwell, “It’s a privilege to use it to serve an underserved population.”

Crops grow outdoors in traditional raised beds, and from vertical, hydroponic towers inside a 30-x-80-ft. “smart” greenhouse. Bagwell and her team harvest bushels of plump tomatoes, peppers, eight kinds of lettuce, garlic, kale, mustard greens, spinach, radishes, cucumbers, beans, berries, and herbs. Everything is grown without chemicals or pesticides.

Kula Urban Farm sells its fresh-picked produce year-round to dozens of local restaurants like Langosta Lounge, Watermark, Seed to Sprout, Moonstruck, and Kitch Organic. It also supplies the kitchen of its sister enterprise, Kula Café, a friendly eatery on Springwood Ave. that serves up delicious fare at fair prices and provides community residents paid, on-the-job training for hospitality careers. The public is invited to shop at the farm, where workers will pick whatever you’d like on the spot—it doesn’t get fresher than that!—or attend its five-course, greenhouse dinners, featuring farm-to-table ingredients prepared and served by Kula Café’s trainees.

This farm is just one of a growing number of giving gardens making a positive impact on the community. Another, Cousins’ Garden, sits amid immaculately manicured lawns on a quiet cul-de-sac in Rumson. Named for the 10 cousins who are the grandchildren of founders Mike and Jill Sullivan, its mission is to harvest and donate nutritious, locally grown, fresh produce to Lunch Break, a food pantry and soup kitchen in Red Bank.

RED HOT MAGAZINE RedHotNJ.com We Love Local

Farm manager Jessica Clarke and assistant Gabbie Tanella, use organic methods to farm the 120 raised beds within the 26,000-sq. ft., fenced-in plot. They interplant two or three types of plants in the same bed to maximize every inch of space, and include flowers to attract pollinators. The pair works closely with the chef at Lunch Break to determine the selection. They skip the onions, potatoes and other hardy vegetables the organization often receives from other donors, and instead plant varieties that are harder to come by— a rainbow of tomatoes, greens, zucchini, peas, broccoli, beets, carrots, radishes, turnips, cucumbers, okra, squash, eggplant, and berries.

Michelle Mandia, one of the Sullivans’ four adult children, schedules the family members’ shifts, including the cousins, ranging in age from eight to 18, who all work in the garden at least once or twice a week. In addition, five Rutgers Master Gardener volunteers pull weeds, harvest veggies and help with maintenance.

Cousins’ Garden has inspired two other local families to create giving gardens on their properties. Last year, the three gardens harvested a total of 10,000 pounds of produce, all of it donated to Lunch Break, the Red Bank Senior Center, River Street Commons senior housing, and other places where people have limited access to fresh, healthy produce. “The garden has given us more than it’s allowed us to give to others,” Mike Sullivan says.

Giving back is also part of the mission of Local 130 Seafood, a seafood retailer and wholesaler on Memorial Drive in Asbury Park.

Alarmed that 90 percent of the seafood Americans eat is imported and often falsely labeled, founder and CEO Eric Morris, hopes to reverse that trend by inspiring people to eat fresh, local seafood, sustainably caught by local fishermen. Local 130 Seafood sources its fish from day boats and small fishing cooperatives along the 130 miles of New Jersey coastline, and from other small, American fishing towns. “We want you to know where your fish is coming from and who caught it,” he says, of the ever-changing, fresh-in-season selection that might include scallops, squid, black bass, fluke, oysters, and tuna.

Morris also aims to promote underutilized species, such as monkfish, whiting, sea robin, and dog fish, varieties that are prized Europe, but rarely used here. “These are delicious, sweet, mild fish with great texture, but most people don’t know about them,” says Morris.

He educates restaurant chefs and home cooks in person and through Instagram posts packed with information about the catch-of-the-day, its flavor profile, how to prepare it, who caught it, where and how.

Besides its retail store, Local 130 Seafood sells at nine New Jersey farmers markets, including the Red Bank Farmers Market. It supplies chefs at area restaurants such as Angelica’s, The Bonney Read, Avenue, and Beach Tavern, and gives back to the community with fish-fry dinners at a soup kitchen in Asbury. “The beauty of buying local is that it’s fresher, better tasting, and more affordable, plus, by supporting local fishermen, bait companies, restaurants and other related businesses, it has a positive impact on the local economy.”

Hey,

Good Lookin’...

What’s cookin’

Marie’s Temple of Knowledge where, it is told, “...the words of Marie Castello, Madame Marie, Asbury Park psychic and Springsteen inspiration, echo years after her death.” The panoply of choices help to create those “connection points.”

ON THE AP BOARDWALK

By CJ ANSORGE A stroll down the Asbury Park Boardwalk on almost any summer day or night is all that is needed to know that glory days are back for the 1.5 mile stretch of beachfront that is a work-in-progress for Madison Marquette—the nationally recognized real estate development and redevelopment company that can hang the shining waterfront star in its portfolio of projects.

According to the company fact sheet, the city of Asbury Park beach badge revenues have increased from $30,000 in 2005, when Madison first arrived on the scene, to over $2.1 million in 2016—just one of many markers on the road to the success for a vision plan that looks ahead to a bright future built on preserving, upgrading and enhancing the best of the past while offering a helluva good time in the present moment to as many people as possible. As Madison’s Business and Experience Director for the Asbury Park Boardwalk, one of George Ladyman’s most important jobs is to make sure about the now.

a connection point for everyone who comes here that feels so special that they want to keep coming back.”

Bricks and mortar is a start, making sure the physical assets make the best, most lasting impression with multi-millions of dollars already invested by the company into rehabilitation, restoration and new construction. From strengthening the elegant architectural bones of historic buildings like the Convention Hall—designed in 1927 by the firm of Warren & Wetmore, architects of New York’s Grand Central Terminal—to renovating retail buildings to creating additional restrooms (all at costs in the range of tens of millions of dollars, by Madison Marquette most recent figures), the stage is continuously being set for experiences of engagement across generations.

“BEST BOARDWALK” BELLA MAGAZINE

“Asbury Park has an intoxicating way of drawing you in I’d never seen before,“ he says, remembering his own first experience.

“The gorgeous architecture, the beautiful ocean, the creative spirit, the incredible heritage...the people and history are authentic and alive here.”

Although Madison’s concentration is on the section of Asbury’s oceanfront that runs from Deal Lake on the north to Ocean Grove on the south and includes iconic venues like Convention Hall, the Paramount Theatre, the Wonder Bar, and the Stony Pony—each owned and operated by the company— Ladyman’s concerns take in a broader experience. “Artists, performers, tenants, consumers, visitors...they’re all guests we need to engage in the incredible spirit of Asbury,” he explains. “That means making

Madison Marquette has partnered with Live Nation, the global entertainment company, to bring top-name talent to the five venues they own, including Convention Hall and the legendary Stone Pony. Specialty shops and innovative boutiques occupy a total of over 80,000 square feet that is blended with full-scale restaurants and lounges, pop-up eateries, showrooms and stages, public art installations and gallery spaces, a splash park, an 18-hole miniature golf course, concerts and events on and off the beach, and special attractions unique to the Asbury Park Boardwalk like Madam

But it is careful preservation and perpetuation of the historical legacy and lore, the collective memory and nostalgia associated with the Jersey Shore and Asbury Park’s time-honored place that are essential to making an authentic and lasting emotional connection. So there are placeholders. The Swan Boats are back on Wesley Lake. The face of “Tillie” grins over The Wonder Bar. E Street Band members show up to jam. Images of music legends are painted on buildings along the Boardwalk...It’s the work of Madison Marquette to provide all of it in a wholesome setting, intentionally designed to make people feel welcome and want to come here as a destination—and they do.

The company reports that 2.5 million visitors now come annually to the Boardwalk and the waterfront.

Next phases of development include a major facelift to the Fourth and Fifth Avenue Pavilions and Band Shell section of the Boardwalk next to Convention Hall that involves upgrading and enhancing the retail, dining and performance spaces and experiences. On-going conversations with local, national, and international artists continue to manifest the creative spirit across multi-media dimensions and a wide range of art forms.

Symphony concerts and classic ballet...reggae and rock n’ roll...great music and intellectual theater... public art installations and TEDx talks...George Ladyman is considering them all and more, always looking for the ways to make every guest find just the right welcome. “If we do our job right,” he says with confidence of a man who’s determined to make it happen, “this place will stand the test of time.”

Making Dogs Look & Feel Their Best

F

or over 10 years, Dana Ujobagy and her team of pet professionals are happiest when they’re helping owners make their pets look and feel their best.

Situated on the corner of Silverside Ave & Conover, The Dog Spaw of Little Silver offers doting pet owners luxurious grooming services for all breeds and age. From basic baths to full services, their team of nine professional groomers are certified and highly skilled in the expertise of pet grooming; including hand stripping, Asian Fusion styling and cat grooming as well. With no cages or crate dryers ever used, your pet will also enjoy their own private & spacious suite with cozy bedding after they have been primped and pampered and awaiting pick up. However, if going to the groomer is a chore for you or stressful for your pet, The Dog Spaw also offers the conveniences of mobile services in their fully-equipped, state of the art grooming vans that can be paw-steps away from your front door if you live in Monmouth County.

If making your pet feel as good as it looks is a priority as well, then browse their 1000 square foot holistic dog-food store where the shelves are packed with the best all-natural, organic, USA-made treats, chews and foods to keep your furry friend healthier. From grain- free ultra premium kibbles to human-grade canned and dehydrated & frozen raw foods, you will find a large assortment of so many healthy options Ms Ujobagy has carefully selected. “I only stock products from reputable manufacturers who only produce in small batches and are still family-owned and operated. “To me, mass production doesn’t produce quality, it only produces quantity, “ says Ujobagy. “When pet owners are educated on the holistic approach to feeding their pet the right way, their pet’s will thrive, not just survive. This is why I continually weed out the ‘garbage’ in the pet food industry and choose not to be that ordinary local “pet food store”, Ujobagy states. “When you combine theory and common sense to your dog’s meals, it will make a world of a difference to your pet and your pockets and this is why I personally provide my customers free nutritional counseling to help heal and lessen common to chronic health issues that plaque pets nowadays.” Best of all, The Dog Spaw states that they offer competitive pricing, often beating many online retailers when they want to feed their pet healthy and holistically. And for that extra loving-touch, there is a full array of fashionable designer doggie collars, toys, supplements and even a doggie bakery in their shop too.

The Dog Spaw of Little Silver is open 7 days a week and also recently opened up an additional salon location in Freehold.

story The Rat

“We never had rats in our yard,” Mary explains. “Danny noticed a few on the picnic table where he puts the birdseed.

So he stopped putting the birdseed out, and bought a humane trap, but never captured any to let them go.”

Then one day Mary came home to their house in Red Bank and a rat was collapsed near the backdoor, covered with a dusting of yellow powder and barely breathing. She figured somebody must have poisoned it, and she said a prayer—“Please take it quick.” When Danny arrived, the rat was still alive. In no time, he had pulled out Mary’s flower bed to make a cushion in the bottom of a box for the rat to sleep on, bathed the rodent three times to get the yellow dust off, and started giving it water with a dropper and tiny bits of cheese. A few days later, Mary texted a friend: “Unbelieveable. The rat is awake, alert, eating and drinking!!!!!”

W

ith all the sad stories in the world today, happy-endings are getting harder to come by, but not if you talk to Mary Yahara and Danny Sanchez about Ava—or Bingo, or Norton, or Sammy, or Lily…. Birds, cats, an Australian sugar glider with wings, a deer Chihuahua with long, elegant ears and, recently, a nearly-dead rat that came to the right backdoor to get another chance at life.

Broad Street. Eventually, Sammy could be seen being walked downtown on a leash, or upstairs on a window ledge at the studio.

The Birds

When Gloria, Mary’s friend from junior high school, passed away, nobody wanted to take her bird, Bingo—and Bingo didn’t want to go anywhere, either. “It took us a long time to get him to come out of the

When an intern at Danny’s studio was ready to part company with his sugar glider, Lily found a new home with Mary and Danny. “When she first came,” Mary remembers, “I couldn’t eat for an hour after handling the meal worms she ate.

Then before I knew it, I would be eating a sandwich in one hand and feeding her worms with the other.” But when Danny saw an ad online by someone looking for a mate of her sugar glider, he was happy to send Lily off, cage and all, with a lady who was thrilled to have her.

The Ava

The Cats

Norton was a kitten on his way to being drowned when a nurse Mary worked with told her about the barn cat and its babies.

Mary took Danny with her when she went to save the kittens. Her plan included finding homes for the whole litter. Danny wasn’t in the mood to get a cat, so the deal was that it was Mary’s cat. Period. “Before you knew it,” Mary tells the ending she knew would be coming, “he was in love with him.” Norton lived to be 14. The night he died, Danny went out and got Norton’s name tattooed on his arm. People think it was for Danny’s motorcycle. It’s really a little tuxedo cat.

Sammy was found behind a Burger King.

The mother, a feral cat, had died and Sammy was being fostered by a friend.

Mary started bottle-feeding him the minute she took him home. “Danny used to carry Sammy to work with him in a soft six-pack cooler, and feed him formula out of a bottle,“ Mary recalls. At the time, Danny’s Red Bank photography studio was on

has the ability to glide through the air with wings made of a membrane that extends from the forelegs to the hindlegs.

Unfortunately, many people buy them on a whim thinking they would make adorable pets, only to find that their home environment is simply not a good place for a sugar glider. Plus, sugar gliders have sharp teeth, make “ungodly sounds,” and are picky eaters.

Then along came that special someone and, “Oh, Chihuahua!”

Norton R I P cage,“ Mary recalls. “He wanted nothing to do with us.” The little cockatiel with the sweet personality didn’t stay aloof for long. Soon Budgie, the rescued parakeet, joined him flying around the house, and then Willy, and then Lucy. When Mary and Danny bought a nesting box, “All hell broke loose!” Two clutches of eggs and a total of 13 babies. Mary found homes for all them.

The Sugar Glider

Lily was the most exotic rescue. Like a kangaroo, Australian sugar gliders are marsupials that start life in a pouch and are called joeys when they are babies.

There the comparison ends.

A full-grown sugar glider fits in the palm of a human hand, lives in tree tops, and

Her name is Ava, a petit beauty with a heartbreaking past in a puppy mill, somewhere in one of the Carolinas, who had been brought north by Mutts and More, a rescue organization. Mary’s friend Maureen, who “fosters and socializes animal religiously” according to Mary, had her at her home. Ava was weak, skinny, missing hair on top of her head from a raw infection, and afraid of any man who came near her, including Danny at first. Today, Ava Yahara Sanchez is the center of her family, showered with love every day of her life.

Just be prepared, if you come into Danny’s studio on Bridge Avenue and have a flying Chihuahua come racing across the floor to greet you. It’s just another one of the countless happy-endings to this never-ending love story.

Hail,

the Lion Hearted

by ALICE LOFFREDO

NORTH NODE LEOS COMING IN

T

he Nodes of the Moon are the astrological symbols that describe our life’s purpose from the spiritual perspective and the qualities that we bring into this lifetime to help us get the job done. They change sign approximately every 18 months, and babies born during each nodal period share the same general “assignment,” but each will work toward accomplishing it in his or her own completely individual way, using the energies that are represented by their own unique birth chart.

leo

aquarius

A new nodal generation started arriving on our planet recently. Babies born between May 10, 2017 and November 7, 1918 will have their North Node, the astrological symbol that describes their life purpose, in confident, optimistic, creative Leo, the sign associated with royalty. This fiery, energetic and generous sign has great enthusiasm for life and knows how to express itself. Strong leadership and executive skills combined with Leo’s warm, sunny disposition can be used to muster support to achieve any goal. Ruled by the Sun, Leo radiates “star power.” As these newly-incarnated spirits move into their adult years they will get noticed and can lead us in directions that can help us all shine brighter in our own lives, all without ever having to lose contact with their optimistic, playful inner child.

The South Node of the Moon describes qualities that we carry forward into this lifetime from past life experience. North Node Leo people have their South Node in brilliant, think-outside-of-the-box, humanitarian, group-oriented Aquarius. What’s more, their natal charts will all have sensitive, spiritual Neptune traveling strongly in its own sign of intuitive compassionate Pisces, a sign that carries deep healing energies.

These little spirits are born with an awareness of what is needed to elevate spiritual consciousness and extend healing Piscean energies throughout our planet.

Compassion bonded to humanitarian awareness...welcome to our world, dear ones. You’ve arrived just in time! Later you can step comfortably into Leo’s center-stage spotlight and lead us in these positive directions, but for now, we’ll just cuddle you and smile.
