Return to Coffs

Day I

The Moon is shining in the positive and adventurous sign of Sagittarius. People are open and gregarious. It’s a time for stepping outside of our comfort zone and embracing change.

This is the second day of the Coffs Harbour return adventure. Yesterday we arrived and inspected our home. This gorgeous home was our Nirvana for nearly a decade and now it seems like our nightmare. It is up for sale but there is a part of me that doesn’t want it to sell – certainly there is another larger part that does want it to sell.

It is a gorgeous property filled with many wonderful memories which linger throughout. Even in its present state with issues that need to be fixed it stands proudly near the Pacific Ocean with it’s golden mane floating in the sea breeze. My disappointment of how people can leave a property is abated by the potential that this residence has for some lucky future owners.

Before the inspection we opted for a sumptuous meal at Mangrove Jack’s. It is one of our few favourite restaurants in this harbour side town. It was an enormous and tasty dish with lots of seafood and herbs washed down with a freshly squeezed tropical juice. We both gormandised and then went off to the property for the inspection.

While I am not impressed with the state of the unit nothing is beyond repair. It can be cleaned, repaired or brought back to its original condition with some investment and care.

After the inspection we walked on the beach. It was a good plan – to go over the property and face the damage from our former tenant and the walk it off on the beach. The sea air was refreshing and the ocean licked the resentment of the mistreatment of our former castle. It was a grounding walk with lots of careful planning and counselling. I guess it was more like an oceanic debrief.

After the walk we came down to Urunga. We met up with some friends and had afternoon tea. We feasted and fell into a relaxed state – such a great relief after a long drive and an emotional ending.

We are back to the property today to check it over again. Then off for some retail therapy at our favourite haunts. Even though there is not a lot on the spending agenda I want to touch and feel some of the delightful trinkets and browse the energy of these unique shops.

It’s a sunny and lovely day with a brilliant glow. It is relaxing and very vibrant – it should be a good day of balance and harmony. We’ll just wait and see how we’ll go!

Day II

Going home is so hard to do when you’ve had a rewarding trip. The time spent with new acquaintances and old friends are memories I will take back to Canberra. I have been spoilt with lots of love and attention and I feel extremely respected and honoured. What a wonderful feeling. I am moved!

There have been lots of opportunities to expand my world. I feel connected to some new friends I’ve met this weekend. There feels a strong bond with some people who are on a similar path and I am positive that we will explore that more in the future.

It is a day of commitment, health, work and routines. The focus on practical details and getting back to basics is essential for ultimate balance.

The Star is shinning brightly and the possibilities of turning lead into gold are imminent. Stepping out on to the world stage is a possibility although at present I linger longer in the wings.

Justice is the contracts or agreements in the future – this will be revealed in the perfect time.

The Fool is the new beginnings – a chapter of excitement. The world is a culmination of experiences and the reward is reflected in my demeanour. Now, I am poised and ready to jump into the unknown.

Peace and Love,
