Speak up

In what area (or with whom) are always agitated, yet deny or hide your anger? Your soul is stoking up the fire on your passive-aggressive behaviours to burn off the patterns that keep you from speaking up and directly letting others know how you feel.

Your soul’s purpose right now is to be authentic in your communication by first reconciling conflicts between your head and your heart.

Take responsibility for your emotions and heed what they are trying to convey, rather than “stuffing” them with intellectual control. Recognise the difference between new feelings that provide valuable insight and information for creating direct and open communication and old defensive patterns that cut off communication. Stop the battle between your heard and your heart and allow your ego and your spirit to become friends. Working together, they’ll guide you toward peaceful relationships with others, especially when disagreements exist. Share your objections without attack or defence, but don’t edit or water down your feelings in any way.

The Moon moves from our eleventh house of friends and associations (networking) to our twelfth house (unconscious motivations). She is now in Pisces which is highly compatible with the Scorpio Sun. Actually I have two wonderful colleagues who are Pisceans and they are delightful. We all get along famously like one big watery family.

I adore Pisceans (well I love something about almost every sign) for their gentleness and emotive ways – they are perceptive and willing to jump in and lend a hand. I have so many wonderful colleagues it is difficult to choose favs from the crowd.

This weekend we went on a retreat to one of our most treasured places in Australia. This historic locale holds a huge appeal. This little spot on the map is called, Baker’s Swamp. It was named after one of my ancestors Daniel Isaac Baker who along with his son George Moses Baker built the first school in the region. Sir Henry Parkes awarded Daniel and George the honour naming the little region after these two generous and talented men. The school still stands as a memorial to the hard work and dedication to these hardworking pioneers.

One of the inroads of this tiny locale is a property called, Banderra http://www.banderra.com.au/ . This comfy little retreat offers farm stay experience. This time I was fortunate enough to be able to pat and feed a one week old lamb – this was one of the highlights. This delicate little creatures is such a wonderful tiny beast and this epitomised the joy and delight of this weekend retreat.

I can assure you that lammie have no hesitation in speaking up when she is hungry – do you?

Love, Peace and Harmony,

Julia Ashton-Sayers
