The Lakehouse

Last night I watched the move, the Lakehouse. The actors were passionate and believable however the story line a little on the fantastic side. Well, the plot was more fantasy than realistic. Despite the unrealistic plot the dreamer within was sated.

There is no room for fantasy with the Capricorn. I’m not saying that Capricorns are not visionaries but their footprints are more pragmatic than whimsical. The Sun is in Aries and adds the fire in the belly to our momentum pushing us forward past the boundaries of our beliefs.

The Empress strides in pregnant with potential for a new chapter. We are ready for the labour – we’ve been here before – the pain of fear is overcome with the realization of the sublime benefice. Take a chance on change and you’ll be rewarded. Stay where you are and you’ll keep getting what you’ve got.

The chariots toots – twice – get on board and hold on – your ticket is punched and you know where you want to go! Don’t be fooled by the detours – you’ll get to your destination in the perfect time. Okay – anywhere but here? Are you sure? That’s not good enough – where’s your map? Where is the plan? I know the goal posts keep shifting but that’s half the fun!

The Lovers meet at the Lakehouse. The glass walls reveal the beauty of their relationship – transparent and pure. They shine their love out into the world to see them is awe-inspiring and uplifting in the doom and gloom of nothingness.

They live in a fish bowl. You can witness the courage it takes to be brave in the face of adversity. It’s not all kisses and lovey-dovey it takes persistence; dedication; loyalty and resilience – did anyone mention risk? The sweetest victory lies in the lovers embrace after you’ve traversed the steepest cliff of your fears.

It’s a number three day of communication, short journeys, siblings and mental gymnastics. In our minds the magician lurks creating the encyclopedia of our existence. Life creates the curve balls but we possess the master stroke and bat.

Slog it out of the park or tap it down the gulley but don’t get lost in the roar of the crowd. Only take your greatest supporters – the rest of the flock is irrelevant – they’re merely lambs to the slaughter – prepared to follow the move down the chute.

Step out from the flock and be the brightest lamb you can be! Don’t wait until the colours of your creation fade in the sunset. Wear the colours of your soul on the outside and you will dazzle the crowd with your brilliance and daring.

Love, Peace and Happiness,
And that’s the way it should be!
