13 Days to go – Day XXVIV – Smile on your brother

The mystical Neptunian Moon pipes in celestial sounds of the 1960’s and 1970’s. The Sun is in the relationship oriented sing of Libra and the Piscean moon offers a nice dreamy aspect. It is a number five day – a day of change – so let’s hope that the change is for the better.

I survived the dinner last night without indulging in anything outside of my detox allowance. The best part was that my colleagues were supportive, caring and mindful of my dietary restrictions. I felt so blessed to sit and share a meal in a respectful environment – I was honoured to be with them. Thank you team!

The world offers the end of a productive cycle while the Magician is racing toward a new destiny. The tower suggests unexpected surprises and the star is proud and reverend.

All together now, “everyone get together and smile on your brother now.”

Peace and Love,

Family first

I’ve learned over this last eclipse season that the family is the most important part of our lives. I am not saying that I was not aware of this epiphany before but over the past six weeks or so the work life balance has certainly been tipped toward my family and how important they are to me!

My home is my haven and my husband is my confidante and best friend.

My mother, son and daughter-in-law and their awesome duo; my sister and her husband and my brother are the stabilising influences in my joy and happiness.

My step family are such a delight and their children are brilliant sparkles in my life.

Family equals a genuine stream of survival in this world.

Here’s to family – first and foremost! You are all legends!

Peace and Love,

Epitaph

Love and money are the key themes today or should I sing, “Money; money; money!” Venus, Chiron and Neptune are creating a financial illusion and we are buying into it. Ironically it is the last day of the 2008 -2009 financial year here in OZ. It is also Vincent D’Onofrio’s birthday – happy birthday Vincent – I hope it is a fantastic day and a great solar return.

The Wheel of Fortune roles in for the morning spread. The fair ground spiel is paradoxical to this dark, crisp gloomy Tuesday morning. There is a positive vibe though so perhaps something unexpected will dawn heralded and applauded with this Jupiter-ruled card.

The World is abundant in ripe fruit – a cycle has ended and a new one begins. The fruit is fresh and succulent all we have to do is reach up and grab.

Strength reminds me of the courage required to conquer the fears of my everyday existence. Am I good enough? Why do I constantly question my ability? Isn’t it time a little confidence came into my stride?

The Moon is in Libra today. She loves the Venusian charm coaxing the shimmering beams exuding from this silvery orb. Libra energy accentuates the coquettish femineity to her glow. She is becoming fuller and round ready to breach into her ripe phase. Meanwhile here on earth we mere mortals are grappling with cosmic fluctuations and the indigestion rising in our gullet.

It is an 11/2 day today which has a public/private feel. The collaborative energy of the day will work in nicely with the justice and fair mindedness of the Libran influence. I cast my thoughts a little further toward the influence of other fair minded Librans. I consider how they’ve brought their individual brand of justice and fairness into our lives.

People like John Lennon and how a staunch advocate for peace; with chants like, “Give peace a chance” and philosophical meanderings in the unforgettable “Imagine” lyrics. I cannot forget how he stood, laid, sat, prayed, begged, laboured and lobbied encouraging the world to, “give peace a chance”.

Another beautiful Libran comes to mind, Linda Eastman McCartney and her lobby for a less brutal life of the carnivore and opted for a gentle persuasion toward a vegan lifestyle.

They both walked-their-talk. They led by example and showed us what it is like to live your truth. If we could all leave the world with one clear message what would your message be? I know we are tiny pebbles in the pond of awareness and still we have the potential for the ripple effect. What message would you convey to the world if the world was paying attention? And more importantly how do you want to be remembered?

For me, I want to keep the messages of peace and love flowing though my writing and conduct. I am a strong advocate for love – loving you, love each other – just love; love; love – it’s easy. And peace – well why not? Why can’t we live in a world of peace – is it so difficult? If I encouraged peace in my world and my world merges with your world then guess where we would be? A peaceful world, no less – a world perfect for you and me!

Peace and Love,

The Golden Temple

The High Priestess reminds me of the recent footprints of my journey.  They have been laden with despair and rejection.  The treacherous comments of others and venomous barbs have perpetrated the delicate layer of my soul.

While recovering from the taunts of others I have arrived at a summit of peace and kindness. This hiatus in my odyssey has layered Teflon coating now allowing the sludge to stick to this gossamer veneer.  The beauty I hold in my heart is mirrored in my thoughts and words rejecting the tendrils of evil from permeating my soul.

The Hierophant, wise and deliberate in his stare counsels me and offers the allure of a golden interval.  This pristine breathing space allows time to heal.  Deep within his temple of protection I am able to find the tormented parts of me and cure the crevices of agony which have been slashed by the vileness of the “dark ones”.

This morning I woke feeling renewed.  It wasn’t just a satisfied feeling of a rich rejuvenating slumber.  Instead I felt that I had returned from a journey to a healing portal – a place where Angels and sagacious beings joined forces and beamed blessings of love into my being.

I stretched and smiled, “chanted get out of bed, sleepy head” to begin my morning rituals.  Lingering words of erudite visitors whispered spasms of encouragement. During this period of I dripped essential oils into burners placed around my home, lighting them with plausible optimism to bring a cleansing and infuse the home with a recipe for well being.

After picking up my journal the conversation began with an overview of yesterday’s adventure and an acknowledgement that I need to honour me and my promise to myself for good health and happiness.  The atmosphere of my home is swaddling me in a garden of ambrosia; nectar selected carefully to ensure love, peace and harmony.

The gentle sounds of rhythms lull me into a sacred cavern.  My soul is connected to the Divine and my heart pumps out tantric messages of peace.  Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “It isn’t enough to talk about peace; one must believe in it.  And it isn’t enough to believe in it; one must work at it!”

So, my personal mission for today is to being into my corner of the Universe.  I will go out and spread this seed to the world through positive thoughts and demonstrate peace with my actions.  What will you do?

Peace and Love,
