Guilty Pleasures!

Wow, what a self indulgent phucker I was this morning! My apologies.
I didn't work today, I spent the day with kidlets and friends with babies.
T'was quite lovely to get away from it all.
I did pop into work in the morning fo 10 minutes with end of financial year gifts for all staff. Tickets to Bourgeois Class at Village for the movie of their choice for them and a friend.
I recently went to see Indiana Jones at the Louvre [ Da Vinci Code] in one of these cinemas [gift]. Gandalf was taken with the Jason recliner chair and his GIANT burger, fries and beer that arrrived right as Paul Bettany was strapping his chicken wire garter on. Tasty.
I struggled with it all till my cupcakes and latte arrived and I just let go of my Trotskyesque archetype and decided to try to enjoy my red faux velvet stained chair and ignore the interesting combination of smells that the hot suggestions and taste plates were creating.
These cinemas, [I can't really call them what they are as they I have issue with the name. Gold is a tragic, call it Platinum if you are serious and Class is a word I struggle with anyway, having none and not belonging to one] should only be attended if given as a gift, that way you see a movie, make fun of it all and secretly enjoy the experience.

Guilty Pleasures are so in right now.

My Guilty Pleasures:

1]Tragic music on ipod including Lionel Richie and Barbara Streisand [some one once told me that Barbara Streisand is like masturbation, to be enjoyed alone]

2] As Time Goes By- BBC UK TV Series. So ghey with Judi Dench and a bunch of no ones except her husband who I can't remember the name of. I turn my brain off when I watch it.

3] Oprah 20 Year Anniversary DVD set- Laugh, cry, makeovers. It runs the gamut my friends.

4] Pierce Brosnan- I know! So utterly predictable. I bore myself.

5] Country Music Video Channel- The film clips always tell a story and I have to find out what happens at the end !


It's a snapshot, not a portrait, no judgement no praise expected.

Admit to them, own them, its quite releasing.

There was a tense aspect betweem Saturn and Pluto yesterday. Explains much about my day. Saturn is the planet of hard work, limitations, giving us strength and knowledge through lifes lessons. Pluto is the planet of plumbing the depths of your soul until transformation occurs.
I started the day with high hopes and finished my working day 16 hours later with painful truths emerging about the business and the changes that must happen to move forward.
Gandalf tried vainly to jolly me out of my funk at 12.40am but I was having none of it. Things have got to change and change fast. This is is where Pluto does its work. Its turns your world upside down, plunges you into darkness and then leaves you numb but with all the lights finally turn on. I have awoken with a headache, you know the type that lets you know you have been thinking in your sleep. Great!
I posted yesterday about how if you change your beliefs that can change your situation if you allow it to happen. Did I change my beliefs? I thought so. Maybe this is all part of moving forward. I did receive some lightening bolt insights yesterday, always strong when I have been away from the business for a period of time but I feel like I am trying to climb Mount Everest with my only equipment being a can of coke and a big stick. Damn that Saturn and Pluto.

Wish me luck!

Wheel of Fortune

Emails from far and away about the the moon phases we are born under. I have attached the Lunar Phase Wheel for those who are interested. See earlier post- Moonie- for information on the what the hell I am talking about!

Heeeeellloooooo!

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
Carl Jung


I like this quote, how many times do we enable our beliefs to drive our future. I had an amazing dicussion with Gandalf last night about why we couldn't spend the last $1.6 million in our virtual bank account. It came down to the fact that we did not think our own dreams and desires were important enough to put first. Once we stated what we wanted we had that money spent in a heartbeat.


Change the beliefs and change the situation.

Don't say what you don't want, say what you DO want.

Its that simple.

Example:

*I want business to come to me easily and without stress and obstacles.
*I want a lovely space in which to run my business from.
*I want to be released from the financial struggle and to be able to be prosperous and secure financially.

Select what you want from your life and ask for help from the energy fields, it will work.


OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Build the tracks

Just watching a film where it is explained that the train tracks were laid from Vienna to Venice over the mountains even though there was no train yet built that was strong enough to go over the top. Its the 'Field of Dreams'- Build it and they will come theory. It is a beautiful idea and fills you with hope for what can become possible one day. I have a friend with no partner on the horizon and no babies yet, but she has a fridge thats bigger than mine, ready to fill with incredible tasty delights and love for family that she will one day create.
Build the tracks I tell her and everything will fall into place.
Which makes me think about what it is that I want for myself, What are my train tracks?
Off to think!

Shut up aleady!

Back at work again and feel like shit, I am ready to go home for a sleep. I think I will only work till lunchtime.

I did read something interesting on the weekend in Vanity Fair mag, this Über smart New Yorker, you know Rhodes Scholar at 11 or something close, says that he never speaks about anything socially or professionally that is not about his area of expertise. I like this idea, I have lots to say about crap that I know nothing about, kind of like this blog really!

But really, is there nothing worse than being forced to sit next to a bore at a dinner party who claims to be an expert on everything? I watched a documentary on psychopaths recently and an expert on social behaviors said that social psychopaths are those who can discuss lots of things but without much depth. They know amazing amount of surface facts but are not really masters of anything. I actually know a few people like this and yes, when I think about it they are slightly unhinged, not that I am expert or anything. Maybe I am one of them?

Realisation: I know pretty much nothing about everything, so I guess will be the mute at any dinner party from now on. Make a pleasant change. As a Taurean I struggle with knowing the BEST places for everything. If someone wants a facial, hairdresser, pair of shoes, obstetrician then I am your girl! I really think I know the best of everything and I am not afraid to tell people what they "should" do. Man, I want to slap myself sometimes.
New plan: Only offer information, help and advice if actually asked. Ask and I will help, but otherwise I am keeping my trap shut!
For those who know me, I am sure they are reading this and falling of their chairs and wiping the tears from their eyes but I am serious. I am fighting Ego and Taurus nature but this is my test and I am working on it!







To my friends, you can stop laughing now!

Saraswati

This is my new screen wallpaper from here.
I like them, I like you, I want you share them with you.

I am creepy.


No really, they are quite beautiful.

Saraswati is the Goddess of knowledge and all literary arts including music, arts, and speech. She is also worshipped as the Goddess of thoughts of truth and forgivings.

Also I really like the blue colour.

Have uploaded Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, Light, Wisdom and Fortune to the accounts machine, I am hoping that she will bestow all of the above. Bless and honour the Goddess!

News from the Crib

At home with kids and a box of tissues. I have been thinking about the cold issue. I usually get one a year, I am going to work on no colds next year. Bored of it.
Meanwhile. I finished the Millionaire Money Game yesterday for the business. Interesting. Not as easy as doing it for yourself. Mainly because to invest that amount of money you need to become more financially educated around what is possible in business with money and how to get the most bang for your buck so to speak.
Gandalf and I hit a few roadblocks trying to work out what we were going to do with the money and we still have a $1.6 million to spend. Virtual money is not as easy to get rid of as you would think. It really does make you plan though, which I am a huge fan of BTW. Planning, planning, planning. I may plan to plan this afternoon.

Moonie

I am back from sleeping, weird dreams about Geraldo Rivera. Odd, Mystic Medusa explains that it because of the Moon in Cancer maning us all soppy and psychic. I discovered this afternoon that I was born under a Balsamic Moon! For those who read this blog, you will know I like this term in fact I would like to own a restuarant called as such. I have no other desire to own a restaurant other than to name it 'Balsamic Moon'. In fact I am non plussed about retauarnts, but I do like a quippy name. I digress.
Those born under a Balsamic moon are attracted to other Balsamic Moonies, interesting, Blessed and Gandalf are both Balsamic Moonies. Balsamic Moonies are the 'black sheep' makes sense. A lovely explanation about Balsamic Moonies below:

The Balsamic Phase is the last phase of the Moon's cycle. This is the time of adjustment from one cycle to another. It is the bridge between the past and the future. People born at this time are finishing an eight phase cycle of lifetimes. Therefore, this lifetime is a very karmic one. There is a pattern of very intense, all-consuming although short term relationships with people from the past including other lifetimes. These karmic ties are in need of resolution before continuing on into the next new cycle. These people often have pronounced psychic abilities. They are the visionaries seeing years ahead of their times. As children they often feel apart from their peers; they are loners. Balsamic Moon people are able to take the true meaning of a situation, distill it into its wisdom essence and plant it into the awareness of others. Their job is the transmission of essential knowledge which will germinate at the next level during the next Lunation Cycle.


This is a very karmic lifetime in which you are meeting all those with which you have unfinished business from the previous seven lifetimes before this one. Therefore, you may encounter many brief, but intense relationships. There is a need for completion, a sense of closure to occur concerning these individuals. This can be confusing at times. [Huh?] It may be helpful to ask the question either to the person or to yourself, "Is there anything I've ever needed to say, do or give to you, let me do it now. If there is anything you've needed to say, do or give to me let's not put it off any longer, let us complete it now." If you cannot finish something in person, you need to ask in meditation to be released, possibly to forgive or to be forgiven. Having a full past of prior lifetimes to reflect upon, you are a born visionary, a natural psychic with a bridge to the future.

You realized at an early age that you were different and may have pretended to be like everyone else to fend off alienation from peers. You may have been described as an unusual child, and may have even been regarded as the black sheep of the family. Others will recognize your special-ness. [most often called 'weird-ness'] One of your unique qualities is to be able to take the key meaning of all situations and distill it into its wisdom essence. You can then transfer this awareness and consciousness in others to live beyond this physical life. Your commitment is to the future. By reckoning with the past, you can consciously make a break with it. You sense that something larger than yourself can manifest through you if you make the commitment to allow it to do so. For one to understand you at all one needs to look at what is happening THROUGH you. The transmission of essential knowledge is your purpose.


If you want to know your phase of the moon at your birth, let me know your date of birth and I will get onto it for you, took a bit of messing around to get it right, but got it sorted now.
I am into this. Made my day!

New Moon in Cancer

This New Moon in Cancer is where the Moon feels most comfortable, it is also a fertile Moon and is the Moon of new beginnings. This Moon rules the breasts, stomach, digestion, womb and lactation, so check your boobs for lumps ladies, trés important, if trying to have a baby now is the time and it is a great time start new healthy eating habits. This is also the Moon to look at your early family relationships. Do you project unfulfilled emotional needs onto your present relationships? No judgement, just a question, I am sure we all do it to some extent.

Things to do over the next 3 days-
•Look at yourself and see what you can give yourself in the form of emotional security. Have an intention to love yourself the way others love you.
• Write down your intentions for this new moon phase in the way you will create a healthy, happy environment for the new life you are starting this Moon.
• Write down what you are grateful for. An 'Attitude of Gratitude' creates an abundance mentality and you you will see how much more things will come to you when you do this.

I am back to bed to sleep this cold off.

Theory

Is the common cold, hubris in action? I think so, we can't cure it, reminds us that we must stop and that we aren't as clever as we think!

Paying the emotional debt

I have been in a whirl for the last 2 weeks, with news about engagements, babies, cancer evaporation and then the death of my beloved Nanny. I have never worked harder last week, with a relentless schedule, deadlines and school holidays, I have worked most nights over the last 3 weeks. This meant when I finally got a day off on Thursday I got sick. Then Friday at the funeral for Nanny, I cried like an 8 year old girl, tragic really, it didn't register she had died until I went into the service.
It made me think about that elusive thing, work/life balance.
How long did I think I could hammer myself before something gave? It is usually health that gives first and I am frankly disappointed that I didn't respect that, I know better, instead I thought I was immortal [and clearly I also thought my Nanny was also] and ignored all signs.
Clearly, I will be dressed by the new designer Hubris this season.
I have a theory that grief is like tax, you have to pay it eventually otherwise it grows interest and the longer you leave it the higher the debt you have to pay. I didn't pay this week as early as I should and so now here I am with razor blades in my throat and the threat of something nasty coming my way.

i chingy, how 'bout you?

I introduced the Sibyls to i Ching the other night. As the Piscean Princess called out the coins, Blessed laughed with mirth at her pronunciation "yang, yang, yin- yin, yin, yang."
i Ching is becoming a fave of mine. I know I dissed it some time back but I mocked because I feared . I understand it more now and I see when it could be helpful.
The i Ching is based on the Chinese theory that underpins their whole culture, that there is a balance of opposites and a natural transformation and development of events that progress and process as they are meant to, change is inevitable and neccessary.
I like this, it supports the theory that I love from Deepak that to move forward we must process our Karma and to do this we change the things that no longer work for us.
All of the readings were spot on, Blessed and the Piscean Princess received lovely hexagrams about marrying maidens and nourishment for little persons growing.

I, however have some work to do, I know what I need to do and as a result I awoke with a general malaise that has involved a headache and a sore neck all day, yes all day.
Feeling ultra crap and after the Solstice also. Shame.
The metaphysical reason for headaches is self criticism and fear. I have no argument for this, I am fearful and self critical a lot of the time. The sore neck represents inflexibility and not being able to see both sides of the question. How does your client plead? Guilty, your honor!

Did I create this? Did I allow the protective walls to come down for a brief moment thus I am starting to process my Karma? How much of my Ego can I fit into my mouth at one time?

Change is hard, especially for us Taureans, I tried to placate myself with buying myself a useless beautiful object from Manon, my fave Frenchie homewares store, typical Taurean reaction but settled instead for a curling wand from the hairdressers.
Facing change with curls, can only be good for the soul.

Can you feel it?

I spent a lovely evening with the Sibyls bringing in the light and new dreams. We spoke of what we wanted to leave behind and what we wanted to draw to us in the next 6 months.
We discussed how far we have come and how much we have changed in the last 12 months. There are parts of myself that I don't even regcognise, habits and attitudes that are no longer within me. It was cathartic to release these back into the universe and ask for new tools to help me on my journey.
We burnt the wishes, sending them into the universe, transmuting them as Blessed said, Pisecean Princess suggested that we ring the bell over the wishes to clear away any negative energies, then the smoke alarm went off. I am pretty positive there were no negative energies left with how loud it was!
There was an amazing energy in the air last night, things are out in the open and on the the universe is weaving her magic to make things happen !

Emotional rescue

Sun's in Cancer, Moon is in Taurus, making me want better things for all and turning into Peppermint Petty! Emotions run deep today, part Winter Solstice, part general astro transit.
Blessed Seraph is guiding myself and the enceinte Piscean Princess in a Winter Solstice ritual, moving from the dark into the light, letting go of all the things we have grown out of and welcoming in the energies of our future.
Hurrah!

Musings

Is there such a thing as a perfect client? Not sure, I don't think so, they are people and have their own goals and dreams and sometimes what they do will not fit into your business plan, accept and realise that it is the complexities that make us interesting.
Like any relationship the rosy hue wears off after a while, then you settle in, getting to know each other deeper and deeper. At least thats how it is for me.
Last year I looked at all my clients and realised there were similarities between all of them and myself and the businesses. I know why they buy from me, I know what it is that they do differently, I know that the heads of the companies we work for are the usually black sheep, either in their families or amongst their peer group. I know that the staff we hire are the blacksheep like Gandalf and I.
We do things differently, earlier, bigger and more crazy than some people around us. I have slowly pruned the people away from our lives who question why I do this or that, how can I have the time to be doing so many things, why do we not have this or that or have children and blah, blah, blah. Yawn, I tuned out after a while.
It reminds me of the quote when someone asked Phillip Adams why he does so much and he answered, "Why do you do so little?"
This is it kids, one chance, don't waste it listening to others naysay or try to confine you to their own opinions of you, Happiness is when you let things happen and do not fight change. Keep saying yes and see what happens!

Winter Solstice Thought For The Day

Well, what would you like tonight, sex, mysticism or revolution?
Kenneth Rexroth [Poet] to an audience

What’s the difference?
Woman in the audience

A Midsummer Nights Wedding

Blessed Seraph is planning the wedding for MidSummer, just after the Summer Solstice, which is particulary syncro since it is the Winter Solstice tomorrow night. Perhaps Blessed is becoming a Divine Goddess and is intuitively becoming in touch with the rhythms of the Earth. A MidSummer Nights Wedding, it makes me think of fireflies, faeries, candles, lace and wine.
Oh, it's heady times!

It gets better!

I smell, no I really do, wow!

Mars Saturn Conjunctivitis in my eye!

I am not sure if its the death of my Nana, Mars conjunct with Saturn or the fact I lost an important document, but one of these things is making me feel like a ten pound bag of shit in a five pound bucket !

Hocus Pocus for Hire

Have been asked by the Grecian Goddess to excorcise her past lover from her heart and soul with some hocus pocus. I am taking this very seriously as I see how it holds her back in some ways. Short of voodoo, I will be doing everything possible to make this happen for her. Gandalf stated that success would be her going through a whole day without thinking about him at all.

Meanwhile, the Winter Solstice is this week on the 21st. This is essentially the Wiccian New Year. Whilst I do not consider myself Wiccan or anything else for that matter, I am all up for an event that celebrates Intention.

The Winter Solstice celebrates the shortest day of the year, hence the longest night. It is a time of the Goddess of the Cold Darkness and the birth of the Divine Child, the reborn Sun God. It is a time of renewal and rebirth during Winter, and the turning of the Earth force tides. A time when the waxing Sun overcomes the waning Sun.

Spells for balance, beauty, peace , harmony, happiness and love are good to cast at this time. I need a top up on all of these.

Interesting I feel like retiring into my cave at the moment until the Spring. In fact , I may just do that, word up, don't bother me till September peeps!

Sunrise, sunset

I received a lovely text from the Libran Sylph who dreamt she saw me on a beach last night saying goodbye to someone who was sailing away on a raft at sunset. The Sylph wanted to know if all was as it should be. I answered her with the news that my Grandmother had indeed, I think, been on the raft, as she passed away last night. Divine connection Sylph, thanks for watching over me and Nanny.

Goodbye Nanny, I love you!

Nice One Forster!

"Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die."

E. M Forster
Howard's End [1910]

Nobody even cares!

Is imitation the highest form of flattery or is it just shouting out someones else's beliefs?
I recently had someone ask me if I was afraid having "competitors" knowing what I am doing in my interests at the moment, both business and personal.
I replied that I cannot worry about what my competitors are doing, if I do anything to try and be like them then I am not being true to myself or my business. I just do what I do.
If people want to try and imitate what I am doing then by the time they do it to my level, I will have moved onto something else.
To imitate is not being true to yourself or your mission, your intention and truth.
To be "in-spired"to create something original and amazing is to be "in-spirit", connected to the Source and thus doing something to better the Whole instead of the Ego.

For example: When I blog, I lose time, I play with the words, I research, I learn and I feel the experince of being on purpose. It all makes sense to me. I have no plans other than being in the moment with the post, nothing before, nothing after. No expectations about what people will think, why I am writing it, there is never an ulterior motive and no thought of whether people will even read it.

I am merely being myself and speaking my truth and trying to keep Igor [Ego] in check.
I recently discussed with Domonique the Wonderful an issue where an idea of mine was being used my someone else and no credit was being given for my work. I knew I didn't own the idea but I was feeling a little uneasy about it. "What it just Ego?" I asked.
Domonique suggested that I had been pillaged. All my work and learnings used by someone else for their own benefit, leaving me feeling that my spiritual valuables had been taken from a very precious place, my heart.

What did I do? I acknowledged it and I let it go.

That's all I can do, it doesn't really matter, I heard a rumour that none of its real anyway!

Clutterbusters

I have reading about Feng Shui and how clutter symbolises 'snags and snarls' in the flows of your business. It stops the chi [energy] travelling around your office and this creates roadblocks for your plans and intention.
I thought about the piles of crap under my desk at the moment, its seems to be a dumping ground by staff for all the old client files, folders and bad gifts from Officeworks. I realised I need to clear this straight away from under my desk, I can feel it creeping up on me, literally, I can't even stretch my legs our under my desk. Legs symbolise strength, stability and expedition. I need to be ready for travels, movement and battle at anytime and if the past is literally stopping me then I need to clear it out so I can stretch my pins and be ready to move forward in a heartbeat.

Money stinks

No money in the post, no money arrived in the bank account magically! The perfume didn't work yet. Will try again tomorrow. I am going to tally up my money game money and spend it on the business tonight. I have been a but half hearted. Maybe thats the issue with my lack of cashflow at the moment!

Money Perfume

I am in money collection mode so I have dug out the old money perfume that the Witches made me at the spell shop a little while ago.
It smells of lavendar and cloves and cinnamon, I think I smell like hot cross bun, but I have smelt worse in my life.
How does it work? Maybe the smell reminds me of my intention all day to be focussed on getting in the cash? Probably, but I quite like the smell and I look forward to getting the mail today.

Goddess Bless the Goddess Bookkeeper

The Goddess Bookkeeper was struggling today, she freely admitted that her energy was at an all time low at the thought of losing 2 soulmates as they travel to distant places on their path through life. Goddess expressed ennui, dissatisfaction and an otherworldy tiredness around her at this time.
It got me thinking about allowing ourselves to be in the moment with these feelings. As a Goddess, she, more than others, follows the course of the moon and waxes and wanes through lifes ebbs and flows, so it is natural that she is tired when she is the one "holding the space" for so many.
I asked her, "What does one do when the carers carer goes away?"
Perhaps the lesson is for her to know that she can care for herself, I do not know a finer woman with more self referred energy, she is divine, the Triple Goddess bound together in one gorgeous package.

Manifester Inc.

Manifested another job for Gandalf but didn't specify enough details. It arrived today its a bit lame but a start I suppose.

Void of Course Moon

The Contessa made a comment on my previous post on her horrific dreams last night. She pondered whether it was someting nocturnal, I think nocturnal and astrological.
The Moon was Void of Course yesterday which means that the Moon has not formed any angles to other celestial bodies. Its what happens when the Moon transits from one Astro sign to another. I found this as an explanation of VOC dreaming:

As the moon moves from sign to sign during a month, she may, for a few hours, be outside the direct influence of any sign. (Those constellations are far apart!) When the moon is between signs, she is said to be void of course. If you have a dream during that time, it will often be a dream of very profound quality. Usually, when the moon is void of course, nothing much happens. Women have been known to stop labor, wait for the moon to move into a new sign, and start again. If a dream comes when the moon is void of course, it is important. For example, I have received virtually all my dreaming information when the moon was void of course.

I am not sure I like the hideous dreams I had, I think they were all fear based, deep subconscious stuff rising to the surface when I was perhaps astro-vunerable with no planets to suuport my Moon self.

Ah La Luna, how you taunt as!

Last night

Shocking dreams last night, shocking!
Interesting after I had a such a positive experience with the Sibyls doing our Triple Goddess Gratitude ritual. We had to to have symbols that reflected the Maiden [waxing moon] the Mother [full moon] and the Crone [waning moon]. We could either bury or eat the symbols during the ritual. I made them from chocolate chip cookie mix, so we ate them. Quite nice.

It was lovely to see how much we are all manifesting now, the Piscean Princess wished away a tedious Self-Development course at work. Unless she is teaching Self Development then there is no need for her to be there, trust me, she is plenty developed in the area of Self.
Blessed is working on a new vocation and passion and the Goddess Mother keeps sending her opportunities and light to guide her down her path.

I am really aware that since my Sister was diagnosed my wishes, mind and soul has been with her constantly. I am now going to look at my plan and start to manifest more for my journey and my future.

Stay tuned!

The Trickster

I was stomping around the house this morning exclaiming that The Trickster had entered our house and was doing all sorts of trickery including losing my "diamond" earrings [I get asked alot if they are real] or stealing my choc caramels from Haighs. I soon realised that he had entered our house via my Piscean 5 year old Changeling!

I just now visited my favourite Mystic and saw a lovely post about The Trickster.

I recently overheard in a shop a student discussing her PHD on dreams and dream symbology and how the whole art of dream interpretation is just The Trickster at work, taking our focus away from what really matters. Not qualified to comment on that but I like The Trickster. Funny bugger!

Ultimate Trickster is the Wizard from The Wizard of Oz. I think this quote sums it all up really:

"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

The Wizard of Oz

3

When I was researching the number 3 yesterday and I saw more patterns emerge. I am in a Pluto transit, Pluto is the god of the dead and the Underworld. The underworld is guarded by Cereberus, a 3 headed dog. Tonight I am doing a Triple Goddess Ritual with my Sibyls, of which there are 3 of us. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Brahma, Shiva and Krishna. The strength of a pyramid, the phrase 3 times lucky, trouble comes in 3's.
I bought the Piscean Princess a necklace for her birthday this year that has a fish on it, bless but also has a a beautiful number 3. Perfect.
3 or more people are what is needed to form a collective so perhaps this is why our spells worked, collective consciousness working together to create and manifest these.
Counting to 3 is common in situations where a group of people wish to perform an action in synchrony: Now, on the count of three, everybody pull!
3 (三, formal writing: 叁pinyin san1) is considered a good number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word "alive" (生 pinyin sheng1), compared to 4 that sounds like the word "death".

Yes, I am mad, but loving it!

The Manifester

Super spooky day. I went into town with Gandalf aand I manifested a park for us, then as I was feeling slightly cocky, I decided to work on an important phone call with exciting and splendid news for us when we returned to work. Guess what? We got it, the phone rang and a new and important client rang to tell us they have a brief for us! Lovely stuff. I am feeling quite special and clever right now.

I did a tarot spread for myself last night and it was amazing. Everything is linked it becoming evident to me. My current influence is the Moon card, which apparently is influenced heavily by Pluto. I am currently going through a Pluto transit, heavy stuff. Will be with me till 1st November 2007, makes sense. Transform, transform, transform!

I am seeing patterns emerge with the more that I learn though. It's all connected, there is no one right things and it all works if you believe it can: car parks, new clients calling, marriages, babies and cures for cancer.

Excuse me, have you seen my mojo? Finding it hard to get motivated today!

Announcements

More news from The Wizard and The Scribe who are marrying at the end of this month!
Perfect pairs everywhwere. It makes sense though. On May 29th, Venus entered good old Taurus and will hang around in this sign until June 23rd. Venus likes being in Taurus, its all about security and value, pleasure and expressing your love!
I see Love everywhere and I am feeling it myself. I am loving the Gandalf and the little changleings like mad!

Then close your eyes and tap your heels together three times

It works.

For 3 months, the Sibyls and I have spell cast for our deepest wishes. Health to be restored for my loved sister, a baby for the Piscean Princess and big love for the Blessed Seraph.
Within the space of 24 hours, from Thursday to Friday we all learnt that our wishes have come true.

Piscean Princess has a baby growing inside her, a divine, heavenly child, who could not have chosen a better mother to nurture and adore them.

Blessed Seraph has not only found the Big Love with her Ram-Beau, but he has seen what an ethereal being she is and he has proposed within 3 months, knowing that this chance does not arrive twice in a lifetime.

And I, well, I received the greatest news of my life, greater than anything I have ever before experienced. My sister is well. It is as simple as that. She is well.

We are having a Triple Goddess Gratitude ceremony tomorrow night to express our thanks to the Mother Goddess for her blessings. It is so important to say thank you, just say thank you, manners are free as someone once said to me.

When I started to cast spells at the beginning of this year as part of my commitment to experience everything non-local this year, I was very secretive about it, for fear of ridicule and judgment. I had caste quite a few spells before I told the other Blessed and Piscean Princess, they, of course, did not judge and joined me enthusiastically in the craft. The Power of Three is sacred and I am no longer afraid to say that I caste spells.

I am coming out of the broom closet and stating quite proudly: I am a witch!

I will finish with this quote, that made me laugh out loud for how perfect it is for me:

“The modern day witch does her spells over the Internet you know, it's a whole different image of a witch that I see.”

Athena Starwoman



Blessed Be!

It's getting better!

Things are on the up and up, although I am a little crazy this morning, I have trashed files on the server by mistake and have been talking about soft porn in meetings. No judgement, no praise.

I have spent time with the Bohemian Pisces and her responsibilty to herself to be the best she can be always. Life is slippery at times and we all need a hand when we hit a particulary oily patch.

I am so happy with everyone at work at the moment, we have never had a better team and I feel the vibration humming .

Off the Mind, Body and Spirit festival on the weekend, always good for a enlightenment and laughs. I'll be the one parking my broomstick out the front!

Don't believe it gets any better!

My darling Scorpio sister copped a break today and was scanned for her cancer and came out negative, the poison chemo therapy worked!
A rebirth to her. Happy Birthday darlin'!
I asked my grandfather, who died in the hospital we were in to come and make it all better. Well, he did! Man, what a moment, I was honoured to be a part of it all!

Thanks you Universe, the week looks a little rosier now!

Blogger down, blogger down!

Blogger has been having some problems this morning so its given me some time to think. I will be happy when this week is over, I haven't enjoyed it at all, but I take refuge in the saying, this too will pass.

I did have a lovely day with the Goddess Bookkeeper yesterday who make my worries disappear in a heartbeat, positivity and knowing is a dynamite combo!

Gandalf and I have been planning, planning, planning for our futures at the moment, crazy times and crazy schemes, but anything can happen if you work hard enough is my lesson that I have learnt.

Back soon, off to do some more planning!

Card 51

Pulled a card from my Trust Your Vibe cards. Card 51- Accept the Gifts of the Universe.

Ok!

I need to think about what might happen if I did realise my dreams.
Does bringing change into your life make you nervous ?
The question the Universe asks is "How good can you stand it ?"
Don't limit yourself.

Be want you believe you can be!

Thanks for that, but I don't care!

I was told today that I am not normal compared to the rest of the population for the level of motivation and drive that I have. Is that a crime? Do we want people to be average so we can feel better about ourselves? I choose to self improve whenever I can and to ask for help from certain people in my life whom I trust and respect.
I am not a fan of sitting around bemoaning and waiting for things to change. Isn't that the definition of madness? Doing the same the thing and expecting a different result.
Perhaps it was said to me to make me feel less than so I would conform to their standards, perhaps it was said as a compliment, who knows, all I know was that when it was said I felt nothing, neither anger or gratitude.
I am happy. I having been working all year to let go of wanting peoples approval and admiration.
How can I be the best that I want to be when I want others approval and acknowledgement ? How can I trust my intuition if I am asking for peoples consent on my choices?
Some people don't want you to trust your intuition because then they won't have any control or impact on your life any more.

When I let go of what I think others think I may be, then I am moving closer to who I truly am.

Back to the drawing board

So I have created a space for letting go. I have lit the oil burner, said some affirmations, acknowledged my emotions and have decided to just get on with it it! Sidestep and take action is the mantra for the rest of the week. I did have a look at my long range forecast that I ordered earlier this year and had forgotten about. It did let me know that Mars was square Mercury yesterday which would account for the drama. So I did have fair warning, I just didn't pay attention. I apologise universe.

So what the vibe today swingers?
I shan't go on about the whole 6/6/06 thing. Yawn. Time is a man made illusion and it is very local field, so frankly, it bores me.
The Moon is in Libra, which makes us want to take action but in what direction?
Thats entirely up to you!

I am going to throw some Tarot tonight and see what flies in the non local fields!

Time for laughs

My divine sister went to a country football match and spied the umpire wearing moccies strapped on with gaffa tape. On a day low on laughs this has just tickled me pink!

The Curly One!

Today I had a curly one thrown at me regarding business. Like the curliest ever and I had to cancel a lunchdate with Blessed, sorry darling!
So whats irking me, besides the giant guillotine hanging above my head is the fact that I didn't feel it or see it coming. I did spells and incantations for this shit. I burnt stuff and did affirmations and I had dreams and none of them forewarned me about this one! Not happy Jan!
Disheartened and in low spirits, I suppose I need my knowingness to kick in more than ever now. Its hard to see reasons when you are in the eye of the storm n'est pas?

Wise Woman

I spent a little time with my dying grandmother today who has such a worldy peace about her that I was comforted by her acceptance, even impending excitement about her next steps. We spoke of roses and gardenias, guardian angels and the the colour of the sea in comparison to my aquamarine earrings. Gandalf commented that she looked like a little girl in her pink cotton and lace nightie. I heartily agreed through my selfish tears. She knows and I knew and love connected us all as we sat on her bed.

I wept for when she gave us her small gifts that she showered me with as a child and how both my children have been blessed with receiving these also. I wept for her drawing faces on my boiled eggs, the cups of cocoa in a cup and saucer. Her tiny packets of pencils and colouring books, the minature packets of Smarties and Furry Friends.

The family bible with its many, many generation of our familes birthdays, weddings and deaths recorded will soon show the end of life on this plane. She will live in our hearts and in our memories and I am honoured and filled with joy and thanks for her honest and above all pure life.

Leonine Days

Moon is in Leo, so let your mane down and play amongst the Savannah Plains. There is also a push to being entrepreneurial during this phase. What very you think you can do you may start today.
However be careful not to talk yourself up or spout your own dogma today. What do you think you know for sure? Nothing, so shut up! Also turn the drama down and don't carry on being a victim, remember this, its very important: Nobody Cares!
Think big and think success and allow yourself to be amazing!

Domonique the Wonderful launches her book today, living her life on purpose and being godammed fabulous! Congratulations Domonique, I thank everyday that I met you and I am honored to call you a friend!
