Action verbs

The Moon in Libra heralds a period of harmony. Astrologically it is more like the calm before the storm. Although with the Saturn-v-Uranus title fight that persists in the cosmos I see a mini revolution going on within all of us right now.

Saturn and Uranus seem to be a constant theme in the astrological round robin these days. These two planets are symbolically opposed so, with their current aspects (which will be for most of this year) the message is to shake off that crap and move on!

We all know how easy it is to talk about our woes – misery loves company and all that jazz. So, the question persists, “what does it take to do something about our pool of dissatisfaction?” Well, My Friends, it takes action verbs in our sentences. I would like to take it step further and say, it takes action.

In my view, while the skies are highlighting area of our lives that like relationships, jobs, crazy situations or behaviours that need to be changed or re-invented it offer us the opportunity to darn well something about it – this week. And can I add another firecracker into the storm – this week is the full moon in Scorpio so the Universe is literally bringing it on in spades.

Whew, I am exhausted just thinking about it! As a Scorpio I feel the change a comin’ and I am a ready! I’m standing on the platform humming – here comes the change.

It’s a number six day – a day of responsibility and commitment. Take responsibility for your own investment in any situation. You created this – you set it up and now deal with it. That’s exactly what I’ve been reviewing over the weekend; the dynamics and outcomes from my relationships and situations highlighting (with pink highlighter) the areas of responsibility. I have created this and they and now I need to own up and take responsibility for the current status of my life so far.

Now that I’ve decided to change/move the relationships will change/adapt accordingly. Neat, hey? We can’t re-write our history but we can take responsibility for our actions and make a commitment to do something about it – now – this week – no joke!

Enough with the change management lectures. Now let’s delve into the subconscious and reveal what lurks beneath.

The first card is the High Priestess. She is serene and sated after returning from Hades – she knows that the worst is over and the lessons learned are a powerful force.

The Lovers embark upon a journey of love. Love is the source of all energy and our primary reason for living. Without love we are doomed to a life of misery, isolation and annihilation. Without love we become the bug on the windscreen of life – splat!

The Star takes out the window cleaner and washes away the grime. She carefully wipes the remanets of the guts of regret and squiggies the specks of disillusionment. The crystal blue window cleaner is sprayed with confidence and optimism she stands back proudly and announces: “A new window; a new day; a new direction – today.”

Yesterday we took my Mum out for a drive. We called into my step-son’s place and had morning tea with him and his gorgeous family. Two of my grandchildren laughed and giggled throughout this special visit. We left there with new photos in the camera and took off to Watson’s Bay for lunch. We sat in Doyle’s and ate the freshest and most sumptuous seafood banquet.

Throughout our drive I thought about a book I had co-written with friend and novelist TB Jackson. The book, October Wind (http://jestacom.biz/pdma/index.php) tells the story of a man, Jonathan Stanthorpe Jnr. and his dramatic life change. The power of transformation runs through his story.

Standing at the Gap I was in awe of the view. The stark beauty of the rocks carved by millions of years of wind and sea set against the clear blue ocean. I mused that we all have the ability to erode the years of pain and disappointment; we all have the power to change our lives with each breath, every thought and the clout of actions verbs.

Action verbs:

Achieved, advocated, adapted, accelerated, designed, developed, distributed, directed, performed, persuaded, and pioneered. Can you think of any more?

Love and Action,

Julia Ashton-Sayers
