Smells like teen intuition

Last year I decided to make all my decisions benchmarked against my intuition.
Interestingly, I had my best year ever in terms of personal and professional achievements.
This year I have somehow disconnected myself from this trust. As a result everything is hard and not in the flow.
I think this has happened as I have been chasing my tail all year and trusting your intuition takes time. You need to stop and rest. Take a moment to be present and then see what the answer is for the situation at hand.

So back to the drawing board. Taking my time and staying in the moment and asking for the answers from inside my good self.

"Trusting your intuition means tuning in as deeply as you can to the energy you feel, following that energy moment to moment, trusting that it will lead you where you want to go and bring you everything you desire. It means being yourself, being real and authentic in your communications, being willing to try new things because they feel right, doing what turns you on." - Shakti Gawain


Coming, ready or not!

Moon-day

I sat with the Bohemian Piscean and the Libran Sylph this morning and we collectively solved all of the worlds problems and helped each other sort out the days priorities. My new methods of meeting in the office has actively lifted the productivity and focus in the building. I can feel the place humming.
I am off to write my part in a pitch, we are up against one of the largest companies in Australia in our repective areas. I can't possible even compete with them on what they do, so the only way we have a chance is to be authentic and be ourselves. I would rather walk out of the pitch and know that we have been ourselves and the best versions of that, than pretend to be something we are not and will never be.
A great book here on this subject.
Making a living by being yourself is the key but takes guts to do it and I understand why its hard for so many people. I watched Fun with Dick and Jane on the weekend. Mostly crapola, a few laughs, but it was very painful watching people waiting for things to change for them with them taking no action at all until it was far too late.
As I have said before on this blog, the world gives you signs, your intuition gives you signs, trust them and take a different turn or road. Make a decision, any decision and see what happens. Chances are you will be on the right track if you have paid attention.

New Moon this week, so excited about it, something special this way comes.

When Violets Appear

I spent some time in the garden today, it's been a long while with Winter demanding gardening be retired till Spring and spell casting be moved indoors for the darker months. I was stunned to find violets springing up in the exact spot where the Sibyls and I had sat spell casting over the Summer and Autumn. I swear on the Goddess, they were not there last year so it has inspired me to look at the meaning of violets from a variety of sources.

When violets appear in your dreams then fortune is not far away.

The Violet is ruled by the planet Venus.

The Violet is associated with Taurus. [I love that, now I know why I adore them!]

The Violet appeared in an ancient Near Eastern myth that probably inspired the Greek and Roman myth of Venus and Adonis. According to this story, the great mother goddess Cybele [Earth Goddess and sounds similar to Sibyl, love it, love it!] loved Attis [Earth God], who was killed while hunting a wild boar. Where his blood fell on the ground, violets grew.

Violets are, significantly, the symbol of mourning, I wonder if they have sprung for one of the Sibyls' devastating and heart wrenching loss she recently has had thrust upon her. Perhaps the Earth Goddess is mourning for her and letting us know she is holding the hands and cradles the vunerable ones who have passed over.

The hopes and fears we experienced as humans is eloquently metaphored by the violet, the bud is so vulnerable and yet so beautiful and when it flowers there is nothing more perfectly sweet.

And finally the Goddess of fertility is Aphrodite and her symbol is the Violet, perhaps she is making her intentions known. I did fertility spells last night in the garden for others, it was dark and under a new moon, so didn't see the violets but it now makes me feel a little more magical in the knowledge of their tender presence.

Carl Jung said: "Meaning makes a great many things endurable, perhaps everything."

He is right, searching for the meaning in Violets at the beginning of this post has bought tears to my eyes for the journey it has taken me on. I now know that with heartbreak comes wisdom, an outpouring of love and compassion from those around you and I know that things will be as they are Meant. Trust in that awareness, trust in the Goddess/Universe/God/ Spirit/or whatever takes your fancy and most of all, trust when miracle violets appear.

A final word from my favorite poet, e.e cummings, whose work was read at the wedding of Gandalf and myself.

yes is a pleasant country:
if's wintry
(my lovely)
let's open the year

both is the very weather
(not either)
my treasure,
when violets appear

love is a deeper season
than reason;
my sweet one
(and april's where we're)

What you need right now

Had a trés blissful day with Blessed, after a particularly shitful week, I felt the time was right for a day without any difficulties.
We set of late morning to find her a dress for her engagement party next week. Blessed suggested the best kept secret dress shop in Melbourne, filled to the brim with dresses in a rainbow of colors and sizes. So I thought of us getting the Star Car Park near the shop, I pictured her car backing into it and blow me down when we saw the park for us when we arrived at the frantically busy shopping centre. As we assessed the dresses I suggested a certain style that perhaps Blessed should channel for the party and the sales girls walked over and was holding THE dress for Blessed. The most perfect, divine flutter of silk and velvet, evoking images of Ali Macgraw with Robert Evans, palazzo's, inheritances and manhattans' served in a highball glass on the terrace at 5pm.
Blessed knew her dress was there and so it was. Meant.

We left, headed up to Chapel Street, I stated to Blessed that I would work on creating another Star Car Park and low and behold there it was outside the shoe shop, as we backed in Blessed and I congratulated ourselves on our skills.

We then found the heavenly velvet evening shoes we had imagined at the dress shop, wandered down Chapel Street and found perfect accessories and 20 minutes later we were sitting at the best table at Cafe E 'Cucina having champagne and pumpkin gnocchi in a porcini sauce with a dash truffle oil and quail rissotto before you could say 'manifestation'.

So what was the secret to our success?
I am starting to get the hang of this manifestation gig now and I see a few recurring themes that I need to share with you:

1] Have clear goals but not expectations. When you throw out to the world you will get will get not what you imagine but what you need. So say, "We want the perfect dress, the best parks and a great lunch" and leave the rest up to the universe. Example: I did imagine the car backing into the park on the street, I just didn't hold onto a particluar car spot.

2] Send out positive energy. Blessed and I had plenty of that today, hi-jinx and the best friend kinda love that souls vibrating together only brings.

3] Be filled with gratitude. Gratitude raises your energy to a higher vibration and then we are able to honor the creative process of manifesting. At lunch Blessed and I toasted with a glass of sparkling wine to how fabulous life is on the Wheel of Fortune, its ups and downs and everything in between. Life is real and with it comes hard days and sleepless nights but sometimes there are moments, brief pauses from the frenetic scramble where you are in the sweet spot, overjoyed with the simple occasion of living.

4] Have intention all the time. When you have intention you are putting it all out on the universal washing line, you are asking for answers and they will come in the form of clues and syncronicities, some are easy to decifer, some take time to become clear but it makes life fun putting it together.


Thanks you Universe for a splendid day!

Fear and Frustration in Las Vegas

Yes my title is crazy but it all fits.
Last night I had a dream I was married to a certain celebrity restaurant critic/ex chef who is funny on his TV show but not, I thought, my type. I was madly in love with him in my dream and we were in Las Vegas together then in Melbourne and we opened a cafe at Flinders Street Station. Ok, I can't even be bothered interpreting it, so weird, I was so terribly fond of him though. Gandalf thought it was funny and we discussed how much of a slut I am for anyone who makes me laugh, this chef/writer/person could laugh me into bed I tell ya! It is the single the most favourite quality in anyone, animal or human.

Then off to work where I am trusting my gut instinct at the moment that tells me that things are not right in the woodshed re: the systems and processes and general small print. Guess what? I was right!

I spent all day cleaning up this work and have come home with a headache behind my right eye. The right side of the brain is the intuitive side, so that makes sense. It is screaming at me to trust it and making my brain fry!
I hacve recently stopped smoking but tonight I want a cigarette! God dammit!

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.

Non Local Love

Syncro moment- Thought about sister and then the phone rang and it was her! Bless. she, as some of you know in on the Cancer train at the moment. Way put your life in perspective !
I did celebrate that she finally said how she was felling after 38 years! Love her all the time in Local and Non Local Field!

Have an itchy right hand, this means money is coming to me, just as well as I received a massive bill this morning for recuiting new staff.
Read here about it, quite interesting. Greek tradition.

I am off to kinesiology this afternoon, never done that before, I am excited about it.

Will let you know.

Serves me right!

So the rune I put back this morning was:

Nauthiz: (N: Need.) Delays, restriction. Resistance leading to strength, innovation, need-fire (self-reliance). Distress, confusion, conflict, and the power of will to overcome them. Endurance, survival, determination. A time to exercise patience. Recognition of one's fate. Major self-initiated change. Face your fears.

So, then I find out this today that the person I had offered the job to has taken another one, this may throw things out a little timing wise but I have to accept that this delay has happened for a reason. I should have taken my dream as a warning when I dreamt about a past staff member who was a literal nightmare after interviewing him.
Trust intuition, is what I need to acknowledge and also trust the runes it seems.

Soup's on!

I have received a special recipe for healing from the Chinese Doctor. Promotes healing in all, but especially good for the lactating, post natal and infirmed. I have decided that anyone who is in this position I shall receive this special soup made by moi!
I have it on the boil now and am hoping this will push Divine Scorp Daughter to the edge of health and beyond.

I am reading Caroline Myss's, Invisible Acts of Power.
All about how small acts of kindness can set off chains of events that can actually transform lives. These correlate with the seven stages of Spiritual development and the seven chakras.
It makes you feel good when you do something for others, but what about when you have no idea what impact it is making?

The Blessed Seraph recently did the soup run for a someone whom she may never see again, but they were sick and home alone, with no immediate nurturing on the horizon. I think that this act alone would have had a huge impact on them in ways unseen to the Blessed and it is in this moment of giving and letting go that the magic occurs.

Essentially the ability to give with your heart is also the same as the ability to listen to your intuition. If we are afraid to give, if we hold back generosity, then we are probably also afraid to listen to our intuition and accept guidance.

Gandalf's kinesiology Master says, " Listen to you heart" all the time, no, not in the Casey Donovan kind of a way, but listen and see what it tells you. The answers are in there. Who needs you? What do they need? What do you need? Who do you need?


Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Albert Einstein


P.S If you want the recipe let me know and I will send to you or post in comments.

Something for nothing.

Trust your intuition when it comes to business.

I am out of the office, bedfellow and business partner rings to say there is a rush job on for a client. I hang up then I feel in my waters that they think this is for free as its an add on for a job. Ring the staff back and am told they are in a meeting by the Blessed Lioness, get Nanna Libran for me anyway, "interrupt stat" I say to her, "do NOT do anything till you tell them the cost."

Bambi crab sends costs and Bammo, no dice!

They no likey likey when they have to hand over the coin.
"Cool" Gandalf, my bedfellow says [cause he is cool], " No cash no dash in the studio."

Everybody can relax, trust your intuition peeps.

I am speaking like this cause I am off to a Bling Party tonight and I trying to get my cool urban slang on the ready.

God, sometimes I am so honky white, I scare myself.
