Full Moon in the Blue Sky

The Moon will be full in Aquarius at 10.49am. No wonder I am going crazy on the technology.

Technology overload

I am seriously the most techno chick I know.
Facebook, Myspace, Blogger, MSN, Skpe, ichat, Treo, ipods. Not at all surprising though when you consider my Mars [passion] and my North Node [what I need to be developed in this life] is in Aquarius, the planet of blue sky thinking and all things dork. Aquarians loves them some technology !
But I wonder if I can overload on too much technology? Probably.
Earlier I was blogging, uploading photos on Facebook, Skyping with someone and MSNing with another. It got confusing and I was asking people the wrong things and frankly it all went to hell in a virtual handbasket.

Domonique the Wonderful gave me some lovely notepaper with owls on it. I may go back to writing notes me thinks [and talking in a medieval style].

So correspondence with me may take a little longer than usual. Due to the homing pigeon I am considering investing in. Leave a window open so the little birdie can fly through to deliver the messages.


And don't catch the bird and cook it! I know your sort!

There's a venus between us

Yes, Venus has gone retro and thus this explains the ex-boyfriend who has sauntered back into my life, all very Leonine and causal. Bless him. He set me up for choosing great men after him. A wonderful love to model adult relationships upon. I hope my daughter has such luck with her first love.

Look for moments that throw you back in time for the next little while. When you are in them ask yourself: What have a I learned? What have I learned? What have I learned?

Time hasn't stopped for any troubles, heartaches, or any other malfunctions of this world, so please don't tell me it will stop for you.

- C.S. Lewis

Can't face it?

I am obsessed with Facebook. I got hooked up yesterday and now I am all over it. I have been uploading photos of friends all morning and writing quippy things about them. It is sad and lonely out there although I do have 4 friends now. I just love me some new technology!

Dream, perchance to sleep.

I know this quote is wrong but quite intentionally so. My sleep is whack sometimes. I dream all night. The Pisces moon is not always the best, you should know. In my astrology chart I have what is known as the Venus triangle, the mother earth triptych, which is why, as my nearest and dearest know , I dream of the birth of things. Pregnancies before even the mother knows, new idea and possibilities.

Last night I was with Blessed, The Piscean Princess and The Contessa, all pregnant. Only the Sibyls are in the blessed state so I am interested to see what The Contessa has going on for her. New beginnings all around me.

A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which is not read. ~The Talmud


Home this morning, bliss! So quiet, house all clean and tidy. Gandalf on the school run and Bach on the stereo. Lunch with the fabulous book editor to talk me off the cliff of creativity and then dinner with dearest Blessed Seraph and her Ram-Beau.

Moon moving in to Capricorn at 4.21pm today. Venus goes retrograde toll September the 8th. Heavy love and money shit on the horizon. It's all going to come up and out, so duck for cover and tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth!

Later!

The Fire Starter

I am secretly naming our new perfectly perfect staff member, "The Fire Starter." As a Leo, she brings some much needed spark to the business.
Elements in astrology are important. At work, we have an earth sign [me], an air sign [Gandalf] and a water sign [California Girl]. The Fire Starter [new staff member] brings in a perfect balance. I cannot even believe I didn't see how important this is!
Whilst I chose the person whom I felt the best connection with from the interviews, electional astrology is something that I should have considered.
Electional astrology is when you pick a time to start a plan or an activity so as to draw from the energies in the heavens. For example, being married in when the sun is in lovely sign, like Libra, which is all about balance.
Electional astrology is helpful when you need more of a certain element in your life.

At work Gandalf as an air sign is amazing at the blue sky thinking and the problem solving.
As a water sign California Girl is intuitive and receptive, getting the work flow out no matter how choppy the waves.
And I ? As an earth sign, I suppose my most obvious abilities are building. Earth signs are builders, and that is what I do at work. Earth signs are dependable, practical and materialistic, which is true as I am chief bean counter!
So the Fire Starter is much needed to balance us all out. Fun, self assured and strong, it is exacty what we needed and I thank the little fairies that bought us all together!

Moon Alert

Moon is Void till tomorrow when 6.30am it moves into Sagg.
Think travel, moving forward, hitting the target and making things happen.
Side affect is restlessness and frankness.
Be kind and be patient. This is my new mantra.

Void Moon, Void Moon alert!

Yes the Moon is Void. What the hell does this mean?

It means the Moon is not making any major aspect to any planet. Its sulking quietly in the corner and thinking things through. I love the Moon, it is so goddammed female sometimes.

Nothing you start will work out on a void moon unless you triple your efforts and go into moon buggy overdrive. Be prepared to leave some track marks though.
Things to do in a void moon. Journalling, meditating, sleeping, 'hermitting' in general.
I am planning on just 'being.'

I dreamt about Gandalf and his brother and some spiders last night. Spiders are all about the number 8. The number 8 is fascinating. It symbolises infinity, cosmic consciousness, wisdom, prosperity, experiential learning. I wish only good things for Dave's brother. May the money spiders bring him and his family prosperity and wisdom.

Later!

Beyond Procrastination

I have recently blogged about my procrastination period. It was only broken after forcing myself to work in 5 minute blocks until I went began to get into the concentration groove again.
Punching through is sometimes the only strategy.
Staying on task is not easy for me. I tend to start all sorts of things and have had in the past, a tendency not to finish any of them.
The cure for this is not moving onto the next thing till the one you are doing is finished. Easily said I know. But try it. This week at work I insisted that we finish what we started 3 months ago. It was creating a blockage in our business. As the finishing touches were put on the project this week, things began to move. California Girl said that it was though the plug had been pulled and the blockage has been removed.

That said, an amazing day with Domonique the Wonderful yesterday that finished with a headache from over thinking but 8 pages of fresh new plans. I wrote them up today, so I will be ready to hit the ground running on Monday.

So much to do and so much fun doing it.

Life is grand.

Flutter your fan and take a bow.

Dot your i's

Moon is in Virgo, encouraging us to get it done and done right!
God Bless the Virgos, for we would be disorganised little lemmings without them.

I have been thinking about ease. New staff member who is perfectly perfect in every way. I know this because it feels like she has been there forever and when we talk its easy. I am myself. Not worried about office psychopath behaviours, which we are all experts in now!

When it's right it should be easy.
Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy.

Violets

I smell of violets. I don't know why. I have no violet scented potions or creams. I have consulted with others in my home and they concur with my initial diagnosis. I smell of violets.

It is at times overwhelming. I don't know where it has come from and so I resign myself to the Gods and Goddesses sprinkling me with violet stardust. It could be a worse smell I suppose.

Last night I dreamed of a long road and fire and salt last night. They represent in this order: Lifes journey, the power of ritual and the divine within me.

And today I smell of violets.
A flower of sacrifice, love and good fortune.

New Moon, I saw you standing alone

New Moon in 10.05pm. Meanwhile I have been trying to stop faffing around and just getting on with it. Had some success today and managed to work for 15 minutes without being distracted.
Christ. I am the ADD poster girl at the moment.

Off to see Blessed Seraph with her baby cherub that she is growing inside her. Carving candles and making wishes for all things home and health for her over the coming months.

Did you hear about....?

I was struck by the crazy thought today the people who do extraordinarily well in life are very focussed, organised and do not spend their time surfing gossip site on their computer when they should be working. Yes. I know, quite an insight huh?
No really, it came to me as I left the house for a 4 hour drive. I was quite inspired by it while I drove along the highway, so what did I do when I came home to check my email? Looked at gossip sites. I gave up being obsessed with the news and have replaced it with this.

Imagine if I took all the time I used looking at other peoples lives and focussed it on my own. Scary. Then I might actually achieve something!

New Moon

New Moon in Cancer this coming weekend. Saturday at 10.05 pm actually.
The Moon loves Cancer, they are like best friends as Jamie Oliver would say. Time to make the most of this unique placement.

The Moon in Cancer promotes growth. It is considered the most fertile placement of the Moon. Use this time to do spells of growth and increase. Cancer is also associated with emotions and feelings, however the emotions can be sensitive and prone to moodiness and withdrawal. Thus be aware of your intentions when working love spells. Use this time to build relationships that support growth. Cancer is associated with the mother, thus it is good for healing work on mother-relationships. A Cancer Moon is favorable for Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus and Leo.


Cast away my friends.

Stay Tuned

Reading up today on the whole Mercury Retrograde drama.
Apparently when Mercury is stationary, just before it moves forward the darkest communication issues arise.
This Mercury Retrograde has been emotional and difficult for many, me includede. My highlight or lowlight more aptly put would be watching a musical today on TV that I was in many, many moons ago. Uggghhhhh! And so it comes flooding back. First loves, friends, tap dancing and a haircut like a mushroom.

Interestingly tonight has unearthed some serious revelations for a few of my 'peeps'. The Grecian Goddess rang with the good news about her recognition of a situation that I have long held a private opinion. Tonight she swung my way and we giggled with glee at the secret of a mutual dislike.
The Goddess Bookkeeper rang with revelations and an exciting futures. We gushed about our mutual love of each other and recognized that we support each other in wonderful ways.

Mercury goes direct this week. Hang onto your hats people, more revelations to come!

Frenemy or Foe

Reading about the frenemy. You know the one who makes you feel 'less than' when you are around them?
I am mindful of the patterns we create in our relationships throughout our lifetime. I used to have frenemies around me. I dreamt of one last night actually and awoke with a bad taste in my mouth.

Lifted from Pleasures by Nikki Gemmell. If you are faced with your frenemy try saying this next time you see them:
"Whenever I am with you I never feel very good about myself. So I think we need a little distance."

I dare ya!

It's not a real relationship if they suppress kindness to stoke their own bitter fires. I am constantly surprised when people are mean or intentionally cruel. That there is not a breath of thought before they open their mouths to speak. To wonder internally whether any good will come from what they are about to say.

I try to no longer have that in my life. I can spot it a mile off down the road and run like the wind when it approaches. Occasionally I spot it worming its way back into my sphere and declare "out damn spot."

To be allowed to be yourself in a friendship is pure and simple and I have only a few that allow this. Others are what I call 'satellite friends.' They keep you close to see what you
are doing and how their life compares to yours. However, when you compare your life to another's, you give it away. it is no longer yours.

The skill is learning to see who is there in rain or hail or sunshine.
I am always wary when people speak of their friends in a way that they need to constantly help them. I know of a person who always speaks of their friends but never praises them. Never mentions things about them they admire of learn from. I took note. She feels superior to her friends. She feels superior to me. She feels superior. Mother Superior.

Final word from Mark Twain:

"Keep away from people who try to belittle you ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

If you have some of the great ones in your life then keep them close and love them profusely and return the blesssings.

Over and out!

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!

In the flow peeps

I have been an errant blogger of late I know. I am in the flow with the book, in school holiday activities with changelings and hatching plans with beloved Gandalf.
Perfect for a Capricorn Moon.

Saturn/Venus activity today. Lessons learned around our loved ones. Relationship challenges. I have seen it around me for the last 24 hours. Hard stuff but is we grow from the lessons then we it hopefully will not happen again.

Love and light people.
