Woke up with the feeling something was going to happen, a good thing. I am still waiting.
I did find a gorgeous present for the Piscean Princess whose birthday is looming, but other than that, yawn!
I have the tingles on the head and everything, its not showing itself though. I await with interest and will let you know.

This is what I did today in the office with Gandalf and staff. I waste time sometimes. I like it.

Time to heal perhaps

The Full moon coming up on the 4th of March is in Virgo, so I suggest a healing altar since Virgo is all about the body. What do you put on a healing altar though? Depends where your body issues lie. Maybe your unused gym membership could be a start.
A white image candle and a back image candle to suggest letting the negativity go and embrace the light.
Is there something you wanted to do around honouring yourself and your body? The Mind, Body and Soul.

Perhaps the healing is not for you. Is there someone in your life who could do with a little healing right now? What about the picture of the Earth? That could do with a little healing dust at the moment.
I plan to place a picture of Australia on my altar to encourage rain to our country which is becoming withered and intolerant in every area, physically and emotionally. I will also place a picture of my beloved Scorp Sis who has a meeting with her oncologist next week and I will ask for a clean slate. For myself I will put on my unused gym membership on there to remind me that I can if I want and will feel better if I do.

I would place some fresh flowers on the altar and consider printing of an image of White Tara- Goddess of compassion, strength and longevity or Sitala Ma- the Goddess of Health and Wellness.
Just hearing the name of The Medicine Buddha can bring amazing results apparently or call upon Sequanna, the Celtic Queen fo Healing in the Heart and Home.
So many options, but it is your altar to do what you wish with.

Have a great Moon-day.

Ashes to ashes, fun to funky......

By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Amen to that Anne.
Throw in working mothers and working housewives and you have an explosive formula.
This weekend I have crashed and burned. Only highlight spending time with best friend, Blessed Seraph on Friday night and writing in between slamming my head against the wall to make the pain go away.
The power of holidays and taking restful moments whenever you can is never to be underestimated and I often find myself not honoring these moments just keeping on keeping on. This is the Taurus in me I think, head down, bum up, but my Pisces Moon makes me vulnerable to energy good and bad and thus when I fall, I fall hard.
I watched Carly Simon in a TV interview the other day discussing her manic depression. Carly explained that when the moods came she was best to honour it and let it take her in that moments. When she had tried to fight it in the past then they hit her harder and took her longer to come back.
So, in the spirit of the great Carly, and I admit I could never claim to be the victim of such an isolating and difficult illness, but still, everyones moods are real and they affect them in big and small ways. I choose to own this dark mood, honour it and hope to move through it faster.
I blame the eclipse that is looming on March 4th in Virgo/Pisces and on a full moon! Crazy stuff. Read more here.

Coincidences

The old coincidence train has pulled into town and I am seeing and hearing about so many at the moment that it is beyond spooky and I have slid into acceptance mode.
If fish started to fall from the sky I would not be surprised, I am that Zen with it all.
Yesterday My Scorp Sis had a doozy story, then my Cancer Bro had another that was insanely Mediumésque and brekkie with a friend this morning saw more coincidental tales come to the table. I now throw my head back and gurgle with appreciation.
The secret is to jot them down and revisit regularly to see the patterns that are emerging around that particular issue. I found one I had jotted down from last year about Blessed and her Ram-Beau and a song I kept hearing. I had forgotten about it till I found the journal and saw that it was a sign of their marriage and the song I kept hearing was the song they danced to at their divine wedding. Bless them and the coincidences. Keep 'em coming!

Fish , Pigs and a God called Mercury

Yes, Chinese New Year, and Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. Lets deal the Mercury Retro first. Mercury Retrograde, in Pisces means that wherever we have Pisces in our chart we are experiencing introspection in these parts. Strange dreams and psychic flashes are on the cards as are moments of grand and impossible planning. Mercury Retrograde is considered the Trickster transit, so don't trust anyway you are feeling until the 8th March when the bugger moves forward again.

The Chinese New Year is another kettle of fish altogether [Pun intended].
Hands up who has had a good start to their year? Well this good fortune is to continue. This is a Yin year, which means that it will be gentler and quieter but still wonderful. This is the year of completing what was started last year. Its about new doors opening as old ones close and clearing the way for the future. This will be a great year, especially for the self employed. Bless the Prosperous Pig.

Mercury Retrograde Part 2

I have blogged before about the rise of home break ins during this transit and today I experienced myself. Blessed Seraph has had two in the last few transits and now I had mine today. Thankfully the dog and the locks deterred them but it leaves an uneasy mistrust.

The key is cumin seeds. I found these again on the weekend in my car after I bought them a while ago when I was feeling the dark vibes. I will spread across the path tonight and in the morning. They repel against strangers, negative energy and thieves.

Not happy!

Mercury

Mercury is retrograde and of course things are all over the shop in techie land internally. I know all about free will, so don't try to use that one on me! Sometimes things are just crazy and its either Tom Cruise or Mercury to blame. Today its Mercurys turn!
I do tend to relax when this happens now and I know that my energy in turn fires things up. Advice: Be calm and speak nicely to the technology [they can hear you!].

From A to Z

Yes Moon is in Scorpio which means emotions at both ends of the spectrum are heightened and its all or nothing time! Certainly resonates with Anna Nicoles' life and death journey, what we all thought was so funny now seems so sad and tragic.
Anna Nicole had the Moon [Emotions] and Venus [Love and Sexuality] in the 8th House- House of death and regeneration. That's tough man!
I have Moon in the 8th and its does mess with you a bit unless you harness it to become interested in the whole occult/new age/spiritual journey.
Venus in the 8th house mean you attract the opposite sex like moths to a flame but can never get the love you need. It often signifies an inheritance or legacy. Another well known Venus in 8th House is the one and only Marilyn Monroe. Enough said.

P.S Mercury goes retrograde next week and already my computer is playing up, had to rid the email box of 12,000 emails, good Goddess! Start to backup and file now my friends before it all turns pear shaped before Tuesday!

Where will it come from?

I was asked recently about how I managed cash flow in a small business. My answer was with faith ! There is a Deepak Chopra saying that once he asked his guru where the money was going to come from for a project he was working on and the guru answered" Wherever it is right now!" Easy for a guru to say but I find that the chase for coin does get boring.
I have discovered though that being aware is the greatest tool you can have in managing cash flow. There should be no surprises. An Entrepreneur article I read recently stated that the key is to hang onto your money as long as possible while constantly hassling for your receivables. I am not sure I agree with this, although that is often how it ends up!
The Goddess Bookkeeper and I talk about honouring the debts. Lighting the nice oils, good music on the ipod and sending out the money with good will. It certainly changes your attitude to the money energy. Off to sign cheques. what will I listen to today ?

I'm Back!

Yes, didn't take long did it?
I have enjoyed the hiatus, not long I know but after a year of blogging everyday for a year, my fingers needed a rest and mind also deserved a break.

A full moon in Leo and a spell session with the Sibyls. Nice to be back ladies! We did a Luck of 3 and Year of Success ritual. Lots of wind action and bats flying overhead to ward of any negative energy that may have been lurking in the summer shadows. This full moon was full of Leonine truths and candor, acidic but with a sweet aftertaste. The Leo moon is always dramatic, yet filled with warmth and dignity.
Sitting under the fig tree with the Sibyls I spoke to them of my neverending support for their years ahead and them to take heart in me always charging in their paddocks against intruders or hurts. Ladies, I have your backs!
I discussed my year old post on my anniversary of my experiment and said in hindsight I would have perhaps written it again differently.
So what I didn't say and what I would have liked to have said is this to my Sibyls:

Piscean Princess- You teach me to be more gracious and calm. It is through you that I see hope and what it is to be a true friend. Your undying belief in the world being a better place one day and that we can all rise with it, is exemplary. You are fluid and receptive and your heart beats with sensitivity to others and the Universe that surrounds you. It is an honour to have had this many lives with you.

And to the Blessed Seraph- Things change but our bond strengthens. You create waves of change wherever you go, through your creative vision for others about what they could one day hope to become. It is through you that I have done so much of this work: you connect, inspire and celebrate the big and small steps of those whom you love. Original, yet refined your heart beats with passion and intensity that defines comparison to anyone or anything. A better part of my life exists because of this friendship.

It may be a day late and a dollar short, but this is what I wanted to say and I should have said it earlier, but I am glad I have had this time to speak from the heart!


Thank you.
