By Janice Scott-Reeder and the Bitwit

Astrologically:
We have a lot going on. The Retrograde Mercury moves into Virgo at 11:26 PM EDT and now communications about medicine, cleanliness, instructions and order are miscommunicated. So if you think there were a lot of lies floating around before, fasten your seatbelts. It is going to get worse. For the next couple of days, the old order will block all change even that which is in its benefit. For the next week, argument abound and the love of red tape strangles everything.
There is plenty of energy for house cleaning this evening so put on your work clothes.

Deck: Healing with the Fairies.
The Faeries say you are not being honest with yourself and until you are, you will not move forward.

Today’s Cat Comfort Card is Fat Cat. “Be generous; share your abundance with others.”

COMMENTARIES BY JANICE SCOTT-REEDER

How do you identify a psychic vampire? The easiest to discover is someone who interacting with them just leaves you wrung out, exhausted and depressed. However, most of them have learned to be much more subtle than that. They will time their attacks for when you are asleep, alone or interacting with other people to draw attention from themselves. However, they have to get their hooks into you first or if you are among other people. The easiest way to do that is to put you in a vulnerable or conflicted position. A conflicted position causes your subconscious to open up when you are alone or asleep to the conflict. Nightmares are a symptom of psychic attack. Let me give you an example. One woman would wait for her daughter to be out with friends, drive by and wave and send “kisses” to her, embarrassing the teen half to death. Kisses? Those were more like bites. Then her embarrassed daughter and her friends were suddenly vulnerable and “Mom” would get an infusion of energy that left her positively giddy for a few minutes. Embarrassment is the stock tool of the vampire. Another tool is conflict where there is nothing you can do. The Vampire approaches you and tells you a little ditty someone has said about you. You are hurt and angry and then they add the clincher: “But I defended you.” That allows them to be the hero and you, in misplaced gratitude, open your aura to them. The odds are the incident never occurred in the first place.
Another stock phrase in vampire’s arsenal against you is: “You’ve got to give back.” That induces guilt in everyone and the moment guilt invades, you open up and they start sucking your energy. That phrase actually translates: “Give me…”.
So, how can you protect yourself? If you are a teenager, you are pretty much a walking target. Just remember, people are energetically supporting you because they know what it is like to be embarrassed. They do not identify with the person taunting you. Throw up your defenses immediately and no matter who the person is, do not drop your defenses when this person is around. You may not be able to stop in initial attack, but you can stop the attack in progress and you can prevent the next one. My standard answer as a teenager was, “Don’t you have anything better to do?” If they said no, I said, “Pity.” and walked away.
In other situations, turn the attack around. When presented with old: “You have to give back.” immediately ask the person what they are giving back. You can be nice about it and act like you want to join them in their altruistic endeavors. Don’t worry, vampires never have any. Avoid asking someone, “How may I help you?” Turn it around to, “If you can’t find something, just ask.” Don’t say who they should ask and leave the word help out of the sentence. As to the old “So and so said,” immediately interrupt with, “Wow, should have heard what they said about you!” Since vampires suffer from self esteem issues, you will have totally defused the attack.
Just keep one thing in mind, no matter how “sorry” you feel for the poor vampire, we all have access to infinite energy and potential. This person made a choice, often early in life to be this way and they have continuously chosen to continue this way and become more efficient. In today’s world of information, there is enough free “help” out there that anyone can change their direction and begin to grow and be successful. They do not have a right to your energy and your health and your well being. The Universe is a composite of energy systems. There is plenty for everyone. However, it is very hard to draw enough energy into yourself to support yourself and others. Your wiring is designed for one person usage. Whenever another person begins to draw on you, you will be drained and it will have long term effects if it continues.
