My outfit for Blesseds' Wedding

Yes, the lovely Blessed asked me ear a ring pillow around her neck for her and Ram-Beaus' nuptials. Of course I said yes, in fact I may even wear a little terrier suit like our friend here.
Bow, wow!

Meanwhile, I am super smug as I did all the Christmas shopping today, all of it I say! It was hideous and stressful, but I am done and happy!

Off shopping today

Yes, I am getting in early and doing the Christmas shopping today, so I will ask the Elves to come with me and allow the fabulous things to spring forth at me for a great prices.

Later!

First quarter Moon

Yes, we are in this phase which is a crisis phase. What is going on for you right now? The fact that this is in Pisces makes me wonder if in fact many are having a spiritual crisis or a crisis of confidence. Maybe lost their faith in everything they had before and want to start again and open a cafe on the coast and make ham and cheese toasties for the rest of their days. Meanwhile, whatever you started in the New Moon will take rise this week, so get ready for action.
I did that hoaxy power spell, which I kept forgetting to light th candles for, so I am expecting nothing special, which is why I am so tired at the moment even though I am getting plenty of sleep. Maybe my lack of attention and intention has turned me into Rip Van Winkle, a complete loss of power? Who knows? Meanwhile, the Scorp daughter is poorly, so home for me!

And so it goes....

I made the prosperity altar and I think it was very powerful. I did some of my own witchy freestylin' on it and also paid out a few cards that are relelvant to the theme: ten of Coins from the Tarot also Laksmi and Prospera Goddess cards. It started almost immediately of the incense burning down, with a huge conversation erupting from Gandalf and I re: new business and the best way to get new clients and work. I have a list of figures to assess today and scope around new business so off I go......

Altar is go!

Yep, made the altar, so I await the free flowing abundance to come spilling into my life!

Will post when the first gift arrives!

Gee, she's purdy!

Lakshmi, Goddess of prosperity, wealth and abundance.
Send a big shout out to your sisters with a gorgeous Goddess message here.
Off to make my prosperity altar!

Tired and uninspired

Up late talking on the phone with the Good Doctor who is back in her home state. A lovely time on the phone with her catching up on the last few weeks since she left, talking about everything and nothing whilst sitting under he moonlight in the back garden.
I am finding it hard to focus today. Is this the Moon in Pisces making me all esoteric and crazed? Who knows? I think I may bunk off early and visit the spell shop and go for a walk. Wanna come?

Manifestation Station

Yes, promised it so here it is.

An altar dedicated to lifes' blessings is a powerful tool. It allows us to open ourselves to new and prosperous opportunities and move away from limitations.
The altar should be a "manifestation station" to thank for what we have and draw what we need in life. The more thankful you are, the higher you vibrate and attract abundance into your life.

So what to do?

You need a nice box or container.

Lay down some orange or yellow cloth, even brown, something earthy is good.
Place your box on the cloth on the altar.
Also put there an orange and green candle.

Make a up an incense of
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- orange rind
- star anise
- orange oil
-f rankincense and mix with a mortar and pestle.

Light the candles and burn the incense over charcoal.[ Save a little for later]

Write in black ink a list of what you wish for for prosperity and then on another piece of paper in orange ink write all the things you are prepared to do and let go of in order to achieve the prosperity.
Fold the papers and put both into the box with the remaining prosperity incense, a few silver and gold coins and a piece of jade. Keep the box on your altar and when you start to recieve gifts write them down on a piece of paper and pop into the box or place them onto the altar to honour and sustain the flow of abundant energy into your life.

You will begin to see a marked difference in all that comes to you big and small, it really is remarkable.

Moon is in Aquarius and aligns with Neptune, so expect " satori" moments, intuition and deja vu. Lovely!
I had crazy reams about the Sibyls last night, started with astral traveling to Paris and filled with symbols and syncrodestiny. Whack attack!

Power Increase

I have just finished weaving magic for a power increase spell that I started on the new moon earlier this week. I had to light the candles everyday for 7 days, I tell ya, I have not been as committed as I usually am and I have forgotten a few times. Not like me, maybe this spell does not resonate with me as much as it usually does. Maybe the Power Increase is not for me? I have finished it tonight anyway so I will await to see if I can lift small cars, drag trains or divine the Idol winner for this evening.
After this spell burns down I am making an altar for abundance. I have a some goals I need to meet overt the next few months and I think a little worship to the Goddess of Coin would not go astray. I have a new altars book, so I will read up and advise. Abundance and prosperity before the Yuletide comes can only be a good thing!

Blissed and blessed under a tree

I have spent most of the weekend at home, with a few walks and park visits thrown in for good measure to run the Piscean Son's energy levels down to a manageable level. I decided to stop freaking out about everything that I have to do over the next four weeks and just enjoy it, being present in everyday and as organised as I possibly can. Whatever I am supposed to do will be done and if not, then it wasn't Meant to be.

Today I played in my garden, I bought a stone Buddha to sit under the magical fig tree and a wooden wind chime to hang above him. He is sanguine under the tree and I like to see him out there surveying the yard with watchful eyes. I love gardening: pottering and shifting things, watering and feeding, its symbolism for life is not lost of me, so today I was trés respectful. It was almost like a meditation as I worked, asking the Universe if it can nurture me through the next few weeks so I can honour all the special times ahead with a healthy and loving body and soul.

I did have a flip last week about it all: Christmas for the family at my house, Blessed's wedding, renovations at work and children on school holiday all happening at the same time, but they are all amazing things to be a part of, so I now look forward to them happening with joy, humor and love. There is not one thing that I reticent about, the countdown begins and I have swept the emotional and spiritual paths, pruned the ego hedges, feed and watered the soul.

Each one of these events are so special, Christmas this year brings a new baby into our family which is the BEST Christmas present ever!
Blessed's wedding is wonderful and exciting time for her and Ram-Beau, the culmination of magic and intention at its highest. It is an honour to be part of it all.
The renovations at work reflect the hard work Gandalf and I have done, accepting that we are really doing what we are doing, so rewarding the business, the staff and ourselves with a lovely place to work and create.
And finally the school holidays. We are taking these at home this year as we have to be here with the office renovations but I look forward to being at home. Playing in my study, swimming at the local pool, gardening, reading and seeing friends who are here and also the bonus of saving some money. [There's a blessing!] Spending time with the kidlets is wonderful and they don't care where we are as long as we are together.

I wonder as the end of the year draws near about the work I have done and the things that have happened this year about how much things can change. It all ends up the best way in the end, it really does, there is always a reason and a lesson to learn thorough heartache and emotional fire. Every event, large or small in this life is a miracle and every moment is a blessing.

A new day and a new top!

I thought I would face this Friday in new my top from Sydney. I love it so much it hurts! Unlike Freya above, who risks it all sans top.
Pretty, pretty.
So Friday, huh?
Friday is named after Freya, the sexy Goddess pictured. It is also ruled by Venus, the planet of love, peace and relaxation, but also emotional intensity and quashed dreams.
Friday is always a slow day for me with client contact so I plan to spend to day working on my plans for world domination! [Insert evil laugh]
Later!

My day was crap, thanks for asking!

I know, funny huh?
Really, many, many things went to the shit today and I didn't see it in the stars or in my dreams or in the tealeaves in my cup. But as that Frankie said, " That's life!"
It all culminated at the end of the day when I thought no more could go wrong, with me breaking the shredder, symbolic and messy, bits of paper everywhere.
This week has been odd, an unexpected win and an unexpected slap in the face. I suppose this is the lesson really, just when I think I am getting the hang divining my future, I get a moment of hubris to teach me not to be smug.
I didn't see today coming and I have managed to get a sense of humor about it all, all of it can be solved it just makes it all a bit more interesting, imagine how life would be with out the twists and turns and knee scrapes? [Actually that life sounds quite good this evening!]

Tibetan Doctor

The Goddess Bookkeeper gave me a divine Tibetan Medical Bracelet. To become a Tibetan Healer you must first study Tibetan astrology and have a strong knowledge of the five major planets and their elements. In the bracelet are 5 metals that reflect these planets and their elements and the metals work with the five pulses in our body.
In the bracelet is Copper, Tin, Nickel, Silver and Iron. When our body is balanced then we are in good health when we are sick the metals will reflect this by becoming dull and stained. Goddess Bookkeeper was unwell yesterday and hers were as muddy as dishwater, poor pet.

New Moon Winds

The New Moon last night bought with it strong winds in our part of the world, that I like to think, uncover previously unseen paths which to take on this crazy journey through life.
We are about to go through an amazing time where all planets are going direct for the next 2 weeks. So I have been warned to expect fast tracking on all goals, major movement forward!

I dreamt I being taught to surf last night by this magnificent Maori man, he was great and so inspiring!

New Moon and Buddha

Yes, the Moon is here and since it is in Scorpio we are to ask what deep truths within ourselves are we wanting to reveal. The Moon gives us the opportunity to throw off the emotional veil and be our most powerful and authentic self. People say many things about Scorpio's but they can never say they are not themselves, warts and all. I tend to think that Scorpios are a sign that are unfairly discriminated against, I have many Scorps in my life and adore them all, I struggle with Virgos, but I recently read that everyone struggles with Virgos, so that makes me feel a little easier.

I am still reading the Buddhism at work book- Awake at Work, I like it the more I read it. Lovely paragraph around how we must embrace the orthodox and the extraordinary at work. We can have MBA's and be trained up the wazoo but unless we open ourselves to the unpredictable and the extraordinary then we will only be imitating not innovating.

Perhaps this New Moon is tied in with my thoughts today, the Scorp Moon is asking us to be ourselves and the book is asking me to "know oneself "and embrace the authentici part of you and incorporate this into your work. Be awake to you and your specialness!

Lovely stuff to mull over.

Who Knew?

Well, plans were to lay low and I did, wasting most of the morning swearing at internet banking as it still hadn't caught on that Mercury had gone direct.
Then I went into town to collect the candles for my ritual tomorrow morning and wonderfully, I found the altar I was looking for and thought only existed in my head. When I arrived at work, I opened the mail to find I was also successful in my tender for a big and long contract. It was a very difficult tender to write and I forced myself to sit at home, without food, water or use of the bathroom till I had finished the task. I did this tender when it was a Full Moon in Aries last October and I did a Aries Power Ritual the evening I sent it off, which seems to have worked.
Now I am at home with my altar, my new desk and my win in my heart and head, a better dark moon than I expected. Off to play in the study whilst Gandalf watches another courtroom drama, that's his form of stress relief!

Thankyou Jesus

This is Jesus. He sits in my office and when I am on the accounts machine he holds the jewelery for the Goddess Bookkeeper and myself so we type without getting caught on the keyboard.
I like him, he is helpful and funny, when we need a laugh we wind him up and he wanders around on wheels. He is 'wheely' inspirational.
This is him holding my new bracelets. They have Egyptian charms and Lapis stones on them , I like it, it makes a nice noise, jangly, very gypsy. It matches a lovely charm that Blessed gave me for my birthday that is the Egyptian Om symbol in silver set into lapis stone.
I jingled and jangled all weekend, amusing myself and probably annoying everyone else!

Lapis is the stone of friendship and truth, its also balances the throat and brow chakra , it reveals hidden truths and increases self awareness.
Interesting choice, I bought it on Saturday when I became distracted on my desk hunting. It leaped out at me and I didn't think twice about purchasing it, I knew it was Meant at a deeper level.

Good thing I was protected as the lovely planet Jupiter bought a friend back into my life from 2 years ago with whom I parted on somewhat difficult terms on his behalf, not necessarily mine. Lapis brings harmony to relationship and allows the wearer to be authentic and openly state their opinion. Lots of fabulous information here for those interested. Interesting evening, maybe not a perfect time to see someone in a dark moon but a few laughs anyway.

I am off to buy candles now, New Moon comes in at 9.16am on Tuesday, so I will be casting tomorrow morning, a power ritual. All candles. These have to be set up on the altar in a very specific way, with candles to represent you, the day of the week, your astral sign, gold ones and altar candles in white. This is all from a new book here.

Balsamic moon

Yes, we are in the darkest part of the moon today, 1% of full still in Scorpio, waiting for the New Moon tomorrow.The energy is über psychic and is electric with the shadow part of all that is moving around us. Mercury went direct on the weekend, just as I was on the phone to my IT master who talked me through setting up a very complex and whizz bang VPN. I am a nerd and I felt good about it.
I did manifest a perfect desk for the study on the weekend, having being led to a divine antiques dealer, [who I think should meet the Goddess Bookkeeper btw.] He shared his wonderful spiritual thoughts on furniture and it's energy and the told me where to find my desk down the highway. He was right, I found it and it was delivered on the same day! Perfect Mercury Direct activity, the desk and the internet connection both serving to support my personal and professional communication.
So today, with this dark moon energy, I am laying low, I am going to do a whole protection thing for myself at work today and screen calls wherever possible. Off to work, more later if I have any great insights.

Peace out!

Can you feel it?

Things are shifting, I am feeling it and I hope you are too.
Moon in in Libra, Mars in square to Neptune, so expect big inspiration and intuition but take it with a grain of salt!
I have such a great week with thee Good Doctor, we both cried when she left. I did her Astro-chart and her Tarot on the last night, she is truly amazing, everything single thing that came up, issue or advice she has already confronted and is living the life she is meant to do, I know no one who lives on purpose as much as her, its inspires and awes me. She is not perfect though and her addiction to Amercia's Top Model supports this but it is a trait I found interesting and yes, I too got sucked into the egomanical world of Tyra Banks and her skinny worshippers.
So back to the same old but with a lightened heart. So many things to do so I am going to go and get on top of the day. More later!

Bring on the 18th

I am over this Mercury Retrograde. Apparently this transit brings on burglary, which a dear one was subjected to yesterday. It is the 2nd robbery I have heard of since Mercury started going backwards, making me wonder about this transit and whether it is helpful in any way.
I am feeling it, I was most uneasy yesterday I double checked all my doors and left the radio on in the house, hoping that the sounds of banal pop music would scare the would be robbers away, Goddess Bookkeeper came to work and mentioned her uneasiness about her home, so the current in the air is edgy and foreboding of something that is difficult to name and grasp.
I pulled a Zen Tarot card that best represents the air and The Rebel was the one I drew.
Food for thought.
The air is thick with rebellion at the moment, certainly things are going awry in my world, the Rebel asks us the live our life with truth and take responsibility for our lives, difficult to do in a Mercury Retrograde transit.
Here's a link that has some good tips for this time. I am off to do a final list of things to look before Mercury goes direct on Saturday.

Mercredi

Wednesday is guided by Mercury. Mercury is retrograde at the moment so where does that leave us this Wednesday? An unguided day with a Virgo Moon. Lord help us!
I am already am feeling it, waking to find the bank has lost a large amount of money, Gandalf is sick with a cold as he is trying to think about too much and has a clouded brain and I have a day with the goddess bookkeeper with nothing for her to honor the bills with.
I did have a fabulous dinner last nitgh with the Princess, The Contessa and The Doctor. Much hilarity and philsophising over a divine meal and wine.
Yesterdays' shopping was like I thought it would be with the Virgo Moon influence. We bought little but well, astonished by the Shop Sharon's whose lack of service was both astounding and amusing. My favorite one was the girl at Genki who spent 10 minutes on the phone discussing loudly the new girl 'Caitlyn' who had taken over her shifts and what a bitch the owner or manager of the store is, all whilst picking her nose. A close second was the girl who asked me if I thought she looked bloated? This in a different store. Too funny!

Off to work with the affirmations in my head, "I am the source of my own abundance".

Out shopping!

Off to show the Good Doctor the sights of Melbourne. City, Gertrude Street, Brunswick Street, Chapel Street.
Moon is in Virgo which is not a great time to shop due to Virgo's tendency to focus on flaws not fixes but I think we can overcome that!
I have asked the shopping elves to come with us so I am expecting a little help. Parking , perfect clothes, great bargains.

Later!

Wishes and Planning

Yes, I have reviewed the plan and make notes on what went well and what didn't. I achieved all the financial goals but none of the internal goals except some new software, but it is a big piece of software that will help the business, so all in all, I think we did ok.
I understand now that the plan should have been more focussed and segmented to particular goals. I threw some big things in there that in hindsight was never going to happen!
I feel quite confident about making the next plan, excited almost.
It is a new moon in Scorpio this coming Monday, and Mercury will go direct on the 18th, so I am confident that the skies will support the planning and the intention. New Moon in Scorpio is an excellent time to do a ritual around personal power and growth. There is an extra boost if your Sun, Moon or rising sign is in Scorpio.
Scorpio rules the 8th House, which is the house of rebirth and regeneration, thus Scorpio rules the sexual organs. So, Scorpio is very focussed on creation and so this is a fantastic time to manifest things or let go of them. Keep them positive though, don't let the Pluto energy come and make your feel all crappy!
There has never been a better time to do a ritual than in this powerful New Moon, the ritual will ground your intention but ask yourself if you are ready and make room for it in your life.
So write down your wishes, make some space on your altar for them and do something, anything to show the Universe you are ready!

I am prosperous and loved

Yes, I am and I feel it.
The Good Doctor from W.A is staying with me, drinking cups of tea, talking, not talking, just being. It is no nice and peaceful and special, I almost feel like I am on holidays. I had a perfectly perfect evening with the family and the Grecian Goddess and The Good Doctor, we cooked a feast, drank wine and looked at magazine while watching a trashy movie, so great and just what the Good Doctor ordered for all of us.
I am shirking my responsibilities at work tomorrow for a full day of Melbourne shopping with which I am really loking forward tot hem dinner with the Sibyl's!

Greash!

So what's the plan for the day? Well, I could very well go to the dark side today, I can feel it in me waters so I have the oil burner going and the music on the ipod. [Jupiter Trine Moon!]
I am going to update my strategic goals today and do a full set of reports to track how its been going. Will let you know how we are going.
Meanwhile, anyone else having tech issues with Mercury still retrograde? It's all crazy here. Printers, ADSL, bandwidth allowance, its all Latin to me and I am looking forward to the 18th when things start to right themselves again. This Mercury retrograde has been good for re-looking at or re-doing things. Finishing old projects that you have never quite got around to, I think this will be a swell time to revisit my strategic goals for the business.

Later!

Is Pluto about?

I have a friend who has just informed me their baby is dangerously ill and is in hospital with a serious problem. So I ask you to send love and light to baby Harper and for his recovery to be speedy and him to be back to his fatty-boomba self soon!

Man, what is going on? Informed astro-demons tell me it is because we are having a Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio, intensive stuff. Pilates was a drag this morning with talk of anorexia, suicide and cancer. I just focussed on my pelvic floor and my clams and moved my body in quiet rhythm.

It is Blessed's birthday after all and that is always fun!

I suppose the thing is, that life is painful and joyous. and these can be occurring simultaneously, we consider Birth a a miracle but why not Death? It seems amazing to me that once there was breath and now there is nothing.
I used to nurse people in their finals days of death, I sat by the gasping bodies of those who are leaving their "earth suits" and I have seen the soul disappear with the final intake of air, with me holding their hands and wishing them well onto the next plane.
Today is ok, it is another day, filled with ups and downs, death and birth, sun and rain and rich and poor, it is perfect. It is today, so rise with the morning and rise with the opportunity to be part of the world.

Manifesting

That's our word for the day in our 7 day spell. Manifesting.

Here's what I will manifest today:

A sleeker shape from my Pilates session this morning.
A great hair colour from my appointment with hairdresser.
A gorgeous present for Blessed for her birthday[in my head, now to transmute that into a shop!]
A successful and profitable new client at work.
An organised home for the Good Doctor from W.A whose arrival I am eagerly anticipating.
Good times and dancing at Blessed's party.

Wish me luck!

Be Authentic

I am reading a wonderful book about Buddhist practices in the workplace and one of these is being authentic. You cannot prove anything to anyone if they are not willing to see your gifts or special abilities. You are the only witness to your enlightenment and gifts. Stop trying to prove it and choose to know instead.
You are more than your job, you are more than the name on the door or the payrise or the car, you are you and when you choose authenticity and not trying to prove it then you are more confident and present.
"Resting in your natural state of being" is the phrase used. Being "Who we are where we are" is the key and the very essence of authenticity. "Be yourself and the rest will follow," my Mum said to me on the first day at new school, she was right. I was and it did. But you already knew that huh? But don't try to prove it to me or anyone else, thats the trick.

Top knot heaven

See, I told you the ideas we got today would be dodgy, all of my ideas today have sucked, but I had fun planning them anyway, albums and other ridiculous ideas! I musty have lost it today, since I bloody did a chart for the Cat in The Hat, what is going on? Really!
A difficult day to get it together, in limbo at work in some sections and flatout in others and the renovation is about as pleasant as a visit to the dentist, but this too shall pass.
So out tonight and have called upon the Grecian Goddess to babysit, bless her, must go and make Marinara Pizza's to treat her nice so she will come and play again!

Have a good night!

The Sibyls

Yes, the Sibyls are recording an album of our own spiritual interpretations of rock classics with a middle eastern sound, and this is the cover. What do you think?


No really, this is what we are wearing to Blessed's Hen's night.


No really, I just found it and it made me laugh, alot, for a long time. Still laughing and I found it 2 hours ago, I wanted to share it, I blame Mercury retrograde.

I blame Harem.

I blame my lack of focus at work. So much for my mindfulness today huh?

Ha,Ha, Ha, still laughing when I look close at this pic. Must email the Sibyls to see which one they want to be, I have never looked good in white pants btw, so that one is out for me!

Here I am. Am I here? I am here.

Yes, I sound like a Dr Seuss character but it got me thinking about the Limitless [Universe] and the mindfulness that is required when we are at work. After 4 days off, I have come back into the office with my a few things top of mind.

1] Positivity- Remain open and optimistic to the day and all the things it will bring, this was the word for today from my 7 day ritual that I did on the Full Moon.

2] Balancing the two efforts between 'doing' and 'letting go'.
The balance is achieved when we can be mindful of where we are right now and also going somewhere with our goals at the same time. One of the hardest things to do especially when at work, but I suppose if you can do it at work you can balance this anywhere. Getting somewhere and being somewhere at the same time!

So, Moon in Cancer today, where it likes to be best.
So expect flowing emotions but with Mercury Retrograde which squares the Sun and conjuncts Neptune today, don't over promise anything if possible. Big ideas right now should not be acted upon until Mercury moves forward again.
I would consider moving furniture around and filing if possible, and writing all the big ideas down in your trusty handy dandy notebook but waiting till the astrodust settles. Which I suppose in summarising is very Cat in the Hat, perhaps it was Mercury /Neptune/ Sun/ Moon affair when he had all those big ideas tto trash the house when he did, if only they had just through and not added any action to it! I wonder what star sign the Cat in the Hat was?

I will look this up!

Back now- He is Pisces of course, the very Pisces that spins between the Saint and the Sinner, making the mess then cleaning it up! God, I love it!

Electric Boogaloo

I did some serious ritual work last night, with a wish spell for a new client we have pitched for and will know about this week. This involved writing down what we wanted in gold ink on white paper. Sprinkling it with nutmeg, putting in an envelope with some oak leaves and binding it with gold and blue ribbons. We then have to hide it till the desire manifests and when it does we burn the envelope and its contents, sprinkle the ashes onto the ground and press a coin into the earth as thanks.
I got the Oak leaves from outside my dear departed grandmothers family home, so I felt good thats she had our metaphysical backs, so to speak.

I also did a 7 day ritual for the business. 1 red candle to burn negativity away and 7 green candles. Inscribed on each one with a pin is a different wish, rub prosperity oil and nutmeg, cinnamon and poppy seeds into the candle. Burn one a day and focus on that word for the day.

So mote it be!

Here is the link that I got these spells from, heaps of reading and some lovely rituals as well.
I am off today, closed the office for a much deserved long weekend for everyone, down to the coast for the day.

P.S I don't think your should work today so I give you this link to waste a some time on, although it is trés insightful. Here is the lovely link from Mystic Medusa. I am a Blue Electric Hand. [I thought I was, I just never wanted to put my electric hand up!]

Set adrift in the Sea of Tranquility

Today I made a Friendship Stick. I took a long piece of wood, quite long, like an oversized wand and I sewed Roses to it and Pansys and I tied 13 different coloured ribbons to the wood. I pointed it at the full moon and I said an incantation of what I desired to be as a friend and what I wanted from my friends and any new ones that maybe entering my life.

"Eloquence of deed and thought." is one of the lines form the incantation which resonated deeply within me. Making the stick already had me in a contemplative mood, as I thought about friends now and past who have helped me grow and learn about the world and myself.
The ribbons reminded me of a time when I was mean to my friend in primary school, because she had ones just like them them in her hair and she looked so pretty and I was jealous, I wish I could say sorry to her now, she really did look so purdy.

I suppose we all have those moments in our life where we are ashamed of our behaviour and wish we could jump in the time machine and make it all better, but it is after these moments that we must take stock of ourselves. We can only look inside and become better than we used to be at dealing with our emotions, ego and fear.


A good cleansing is hard work and can get messy, but if the intention is right then we should feel brand spanking new and start again, a newer fresher version of the relationship.

And we're off and racing

I have noticed a pattern in my creativity. Just before I have a lightbulb moment, I tend to lose all interest in the project, I tire of thinking about it, I tire of the whole idea, then I do something completely different and suddenly the groove comes back.

This is what happened this week for me. I was at a crossroads and I was disheartened and I was hearing the ego voices telling me it was all a crap idea till suddenly it was solved. Thankfully by 2 talented people I work with, Gandalf and the Libran Sylph, clever, clever people who made it all work then whoosh, I suddenly I have the vibe back, so exciting.

I plan to spend this long weekend playing with all my ideas and agitating the brain with possibilities. I think the learning for me is to ask when you are stuck, you don't have to solve everything yourself, the ability to involve other is courageous and can be so rewarding and helpful.
Thanks again to Gandalf and the Libran Sylph, bless you both, so clever, both of you!

MIA

A lovely image sent to me from Blessed, who is like this tree at the moment, all nesty and in bloom. Making her treehouse with Ram-Beau as sweet as can be as they prepare for their future. Very exciting! [I insert Dame Edna voice as I say this]

Crazy day, I managed to wheedle my way out of a near fine from a P.C today. I know, who knew you could talk your way out of tickets anymore, but I did it. For shame, you cry. Suck eggs I say back to ya!
If you could you would!

Super tired from a late night with ladies and I did a workout with The Contessa today, I did a heart rate check and it was up in the fat burning regions but I think that was more from the gas bagging we did while doing 1950's aerobics, but I feel virtuous and lithe all the same.
Thanks Contessa for dragging my saggy ass there.

I am having the office painted at the moment which thrills me , both from the aesthetic and from the fumes, lovely stuff and so fresh, all white, so cloud like and all that heavenly shite.
Yes, the renovations are moving forward at a snails pace, I can see all that I wanted for the business so close and yet, so far!!!! The new software system and the renovations are the final pieces in this years grand vision and they are the biggest, most costly and rely on outside suppliers, so I am in their hands and I don't like it!
There's the lesson I suppose
Dammit.


Later!

Art is long and Time is Fleeting

Hilarious times with the girls last night planning Blessed's Hen's Night.
Too much fun to be had and a much raunchy talk and menu planning.
Meanwhile back at the coalface today. I am in the death throws of trying to get things across the line for the last month of my planning quarter. So, off I toddle now to get things happening.
More later.
Moon is in Aries, so go, go, go! Get creative and seize the day!

It's too hard to even talk about!

Today was the best and worst of days. No really it was. Shitful in some areas and shining in others. I suppose then its a perfectly balanced day according to the law of equal attraction.

Gratitude

What I am loving today:

• This site- astronomy pictures - super duper dorky I know, but I defy you not to be amazed

• My cashmere cardigan

• The Pretenders on the ipod

• The rain

• Seeing a Sibyl tonight and other wicked ladies

• Babies. Everywhere in my world are babies, pregnant women and one born yesterday, early but he is fine, love to him and his divine Mama Bear, makes me hopeful that the world has a reason to continue

• Allowing things to happen and not attaching to ego drama so I can feel alive

• Moon is in Pisces, thus the hippy vibe to my musings today

• Tears. Love them, had a a big cry last night and feel the energy coming back into my soul sector

• Opportunities being offered to me, so many good things and such fun in pursuing them

• This blog

Eeek!

Whilst writing a tender I asked the question to Goddess Bookkeeper of when the business was registered. Upon looking into's its chart, I have learnt the business is a Pisces, with a Moon in Libra and Mercury in Aquarius, which makes perfect sense to me!

Man, I love this stuff.

So much to think about.......

Two bodies, one soul

Lucy and Ethel were the best of friends. Silly, frustrated but always loving to each other, crazy pants wetting adventures that summed up the reason why we have friends. I am thinking about friends at the moment as there seems to be alot of activity in this area of my life. I have old friends coming back into my life, other friends moving away from me, dreams about friends and I have made some new ones whom I have big crushes on. This is all interesting as because most of the time I feel like a social pariah due to my Taurean nature and general pain in the arse attitude. I have been making more of an effort though, initiating invitations and contact which is also unusual for me.

I can attribute this change in my social life to a few things:
• Venus is in my chart at the moment which makes me all squishy inside.
• Feeling calmer about my life at the moment and not as overworked as I ususally am.
• Being kinder to myself and thus an attitude change.

Sometimes we can feel so alone even though we are not, I think the lesson is that we cannot force other to love us, we only let ourselves be loved. Loving yourself is the first step. I hate that phase "loving yourself"its annoys me in a super new agey way, but I cannot think of a better way to say it. Loving yourself does not mean through thinking you are better, or more superior, its just about being kind to yourself and vibrating at a lovely level so people want to be around you.
