Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on

Wearing my lucky scarf from Blessed Seraph. Makes me feel fabulous. I swear it has special powers. I am sick and have 2 pitches today. he 'gorgessity' of the scarf makes me feel better.
Bring on Dr Footlights. Dr Footlights is a legend of the theatre. No matter how sick you are, you call on Dr Footlights and his quick shot of adrenalin will push you through the performance.
Today, the Fire Starter and I have been hit by a bug and we just have to get through till the curtains close.

Act One. Curtain rises.

How will it end?

Random thoughts throughout my day

• At 8.30am, I set myself a goal to not complain for 21 days.
I had failed by 9.35am.

• Spinning around my office I wondered if a recent comment on my personality was true, is anxiety my fuel with which I get things done?
Perhaps, but I do get a hell of a lot done, anxiously.

• Never complain, never explain is the motto of the day. No whining, no excuses. Just channel your energy into something worthwhile. Quit your bitchin' and do something, anything for gods sakes.

• Hiring for grownups at the moment. Maturity and self evolved people are so hot right now.

• Looking at old photos on my computer, I realise I have had a lot of haircuts over the years and not all of them were good.

Cleaning up

Surprisingly the debris was minimal at work today. In fact it was surprisingly upbeat and fun. Pizzas delivered for lunch, Duran Duran and a collective philosophical attitude.
I am home and revisiting old posts on the blog upon advice from Fish Girl. Amazing the repeat performance that some themes get in my life. Even though it seemed like the end of the world then it was not, I got through it and I will again.
There once was a Chinese Emperor who wanted his wise men to create a saying that would be applicable to both good and bad moments. They came up with. 'Remember, this too will pass.'

The day after the eclipse is alway eerily quiet. Like the world has a hangover. The peace is welcome relief after the heat and intensity of the past 24 hours.

Relax.

Cry for the change

The lunar eclipse reached its zenith today with one fucking thinking after another. It was almost farcial, almost, but not quite.

Eclipses always brings crisis. We have been between a pair of eclipses for 2 weeks.
Crisis is not always horrific, it can stimulate change and force you to make decisions that hurt temporarily but allow you to personally grow. Eclipses, especially lunar, brings pain, but in the pain is a gift. Find the gift and you are on your path of success.


Gandalf mentioned that we are at the end of a full cleanout, a 'metaphysical enema' I called it.
Always important to see the funny side.
So tomorrow we are back through the doors, good things are coming and we are ready to receive them.

“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion . . . . I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Wake up sleepy head

You know that groggy feeling that comes after a deep slumber. A sleep so deep that you are not sure what was a dream and what is reality.
Yes my friends, Mercury pulls into the 'Direct Station' tomorrow. Time to makes sense of all the whack attack plans and ideas that have filled your head. I know that you are all wise enough to not pay any attention to the shadowy drama and alarm bells that have being ringing over the last 3 weeks.
Now is the time to get clear on any decision you needs to make for your lives, your business and your future.
But......

DO NOT DO ANYTHING!

Do not take action for another 10 days until Mercury gets comfortable and settles. It needs to rest in its direct position, like a roast. Let it sit for a while till the juices soak up the flavor.

Monday: Write your list of everything that has become clear to you, good and bad and just observations.
Tuesday: Sun sextile Pluto. A great time for converting your Mercury Retrograde list into your 2008 strategic plan. This transit loves its some sexy, luvin' research so get on it. The key is to shut the hell up about your plans. Keep your cards close to your chest and don't share it with anyone. Seriously, the plans can be shattered with the wrong energy at it.
don;t get over excited and boast about it at the gym, chances are that the low vibrational sucker on the treadmill in the spandex will jump off and take your ideas and make them their own. Silent like the wind my darlings.


Hush.

Coming down like the proverbial.......

There is a lunar eclipse next week. 20/21st February.
Whatever you put into play now will cement in eclipse. So the goal is to put as many things into play as possible. I am doing a K.Rudd (great article link) and being a workaholic then resting under the eclipse and watching all the chaos reorder itself. The fates come into play so get moving. Whatever you have thought about doing, or have started to do, take action!


Big shout out for birthday wishes and magic to The Contessa, Gandalf and Holly Hobbie!

Me Tarzan, You Change

A serious excavation of my scope tonight explains so much. Sometimes things are whack and you don't know why. The 7 planets transiting my 7th house explain so much.

I recently lost a big job. It hurts. To have it would have made all of Gandalf and my dreams so easy to fulfill. Now I am behind, with the some of the half actioned plans breathing down my neck.
We lost the job on the eclipse. Of course it was the eclipse. Change is afoot and there is nothing you can do to stop that horse once its bolted.

So I trust in the change. change has only ever been good for us at work. It forces you to stop being careful or lazy. It pushes you to make calls, think, go to Plan B!

Now, I am hanging onto my hat, swinging from tree to tree looking for bananas and I have decided to have fun while I navigate the jungle.

No doubt we will all soon be at the top of the jungles canopy, where I will rest in the sun, laughing with the team and think about all the new tricks we have learned.

Happy New Lunar Cycle

Rats are not my favorite animal. In fact, I loathe them, so it makes sense that I process my fear of them during this Chinese New Year, which is reported to be quite a positive year.
The rat is the sign at the beginnning of the Chinese zodiac, so this year is all about new beginnings. Fresh starts and new plans is the theme.
Rat is also a 1 animal, which ties in beautifully with 2008 being a 1 year in numerology.

Read here to see how you will fare in this Year of the Earth Rat.

Play it for me, DJ Krishna

Made it through a dark eclipse day, a highlight was a blissful hour spent with Blessed Seraph and her little cherub. So cute, I nearly got a spoon and ate the little doll.
Returned to work to some dark arts being performed by the Goddess bookkeeper to keep things moving till the money plug becomes unstuck.
I also spent a hilarious 10 minutes at a bakery while 6 people tried to work the cash register which had an attack of the Mercury Retrogrades. They kept apologising while I laughed at their vain attempts at getting it to work. I said to them that they needed to work out the money I owed them manually, as the register would only work when it felt like it.
Technology is energy and like people, sometimes it gets huffy. It tells you when it wants to perform. Once you accept this then life gets much, much easier.

New Moon tomorrow at 2.46 pm.

Wish for brilliant ideas, goals for life, excitement, friend and getting rid of any varicose veins.

Eclipse is tomorrow at 5.44 pm.

Weave magic for universal compassion and revealing your destiny.
Whatever you cast now will stay in power until the next solar eclipse in August.
Also a few old skool Hindu traditions for an eclipse.

• Some say, don't eat for 12 hours before a solar eclipse but drink water.
  
• Bathe with your clothes straight after an eclipse for cleansing.
• Don't eat any leftovers after the eclipse (easy for me, as there never are any in my house.)
  

I think meditating is a great eclipse ritual, as is bathing. I will be taking my clothes off though.

The Sadhana, from the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, recommends wishing the following order for -

1. If you are facing monetary problems and there is no source of income, then to be financially well off.

2. To get rid of diseases.

3. To gain fame, respect, laurels and prosperity.

4. If someone is against you and he is likely to harm you, then to render him unhostile.

5. To make someone favourable and getting something done through him.

6. To gain success in a Sadhana in which one has been repeatedly facing failure.

In fact this Sadhana can be tried to fulfill any wish, for accomplishing it during the eclipse is sure to bring success.

Right on, Happy New Moon and Eclipse for tomorrow peeps.

Go to the light

The eclipse has plunged us into darkness and peeps all over town are acting whack. I have had some oddities since my return to work but nothing I can't handle. All I can make out in the dark is the shape of things to come. And from where I sit, they look good. I will wait till the light shines on the 7th to make certain, but I am very optimistic.

A woman I know has the words "Learning to live with uncertainty" stuck to her fridge.
A bold statement indeed but a reminder that life does not go according to your plans, so shut up and Trust.

Right now, transition is occurring and transition can be depressing. Your minds ticks over,"What am I letting go off and what if I may need it again? " Eeek!

Breathe, let go of control, embrace uncertainty and wait till the Universe turns the lights on. Then you can move the furniture, don't do it in the dark. It's dangerous and difficult and you are bound to stub your toe.

Dream

Back into work mode tomorrow, after a blissful and enlightening holiday period. I had 8 weeks off and I did not take one day for granted.
I honored my final week with some of my favorite activities. Fun times with the changelings, long lunches with old friends and philosophical cups of tea with new friends. Walks along the beach and organising my life and everything in it.

Tomorrow I am back into our business. I did not want to go back till the voice inside me said that it was time to go back to work. Till I yearned to be part of something again. Till the dreams inside my heart begged me to start to fulfill them.

I was fresh out of dreams and hope at the end of last year. That is what stress and no holidays for 2 years does to you. Now, I am better.
I have been followed by the word dream, of late. As a Pisces Moonie, I am acutely aware of the power of the dream. I plan on spending my first week at work reconnecting to the hopes and dreams for the business and for myself.

Dreams require attention. They need to be nourished and nurtured. It is so easy to start to stress about the small details that do not go the way you want. You cannot always change the outcome, only your reaction to the issues at hand. Trusting that things work out the way they are Meant to, providing you are doing all you can, is the key to business survival.

So dream on dreamers and go inside your heart to make them a reality.

Wise up peeps.

The new moon falls next week and there is a eclipse as the Sun and the Moon conjunct in Aquarius. There is a stellium or group of planets all in Aquarius next week. Chiron, Neptune and Mercury [retrograde] are all in Aquarius, plus the Sun and Moon, as I mentioned.
Think - ego, emotions, healing, magic, and revisiting past communications to make way for you to live your destiny.
Not too much pressure is it?

Depending on where Aquarius is in your chart, this is the area that will be highlighted.

Fascinating. If you don't know where Aquarius is in your chart, email me you birthday, time and place and I will sort for you.
