Nature

Take a walk. Let the beauty of nature feed your soul.

Venus and Jupiter conjunct and make a romantic link. The Moon in Pisces brings the romance to our emotions and social life. It’s a number three day and now a few days after the New Moon. Its time to feed/seed the dreams we planted on Sunday.

Communication and fun are important – it’s a day to express you. Love everybody, look beautiful – experience the joy that is in you and radiate it all around. Let your creativity express itself freely.

Its’ also a great day to connect with nature by enjoying your garden, or taking a walk to appreciate the sights and smells in your area - become aware of the influence of the weather – feel the warmth of the Sun or the sensations from the breeze coaxing you into the moment. Allow the subtleties of nature life your energy into a different dimension of awareness.

The Tower is challenged constantly – this is the edifice of our beliefs and values – we are taken to task over our inner drive that motivates us toward our ideals. Fairness and truth ebb out of the cobble stones of our core. What are we fighting for? If it is too hard just walk away and find another playground to frolic in and express your divinity.

The Star sees the light shinning above the spites – the nastiness exists if you keep your head down and your focus is rigid on the torment within. Pandora is brave and righteous in her pursuit – all she wants to know is what’s in the box? Truth. I should think so!

Gaia nurtures me at her bosom. She is our earth mother. Take me into her glorious womb to be reborn. Express the joy of connecting with the world. I am a child, a naive and incomplete being – don’t leave me alone in the world – for it is far too brutal for initiates like me.

I can’t sleep, I can’t breath without you. Can you hear me should through my vacant chamber of misery. I am the ingénue tainted by the layers of the cruel and unforgiving underworld. I’ve been to hell and back – don’t I get some compensation? I am a mere speck on the radar of insignificance.

No, I am special, unique and a rare and beautiful being. The battle of insecurity continues. The cycle of self esteem taunts me with the offering of worthiness and a brutal slap of reality bites into my skin,

I will hide under this tiny flower. No one will find me there?

Please remember me

Please remember me at sunset
Please remember me at sunrise
Please remember me in the winter
Please remember me in the fall

Please remember all the memories
Memories of a life that was above all

Please remember me in the spring
Please remember the summers
Please remember the snow fights
Please remember the highlights

Please remember the laughter
For now and ever after
Please remember most of all
The love in my heart
When we had to part
Please remember me.

Passion

Resurrect a childhood dream. Let your passion take flight.

The Moon in Pisces offers a cup of romance and passion. I believe it is okay (well, actually wonderful) to be passionate about someone. However, I strongly advocate that is even better to be passionate about your dreams.

What is your dream? If you’ve forgotten or filed it away in some storage container then dig it out and dust if off and give a whirl in these McDreamy skies.

Yesterday was wonderful for me – I was taken to coffee by my husband and he brought me the most gorgeous handmade Italian gold pendant. It is truly exquisite. He did not surprise me with something instead he offered me the choice of gift. A much safer option – don’t you think? He did say that he was looking for the perfect gift but felt that a visit to Atlas jewellers would bring a smile to my face for years to come.

We drove back from Sydney in the pouring rain then did the grocery shopping. We had a lamb roast and a bottle of red wine for dinner. We watched a ELO concert (can you believe it?). By the way, where is Jeff Lynne? Anyway after that we had a bubble bath spa and I let your imagination take it from there .

The Fool ushers in the new. The Star glimmers with bold allure. The Chariot takes me far – live life to the full and you won’t be disappointed.

I know it is a work day and a Monday at that but we must continue with the 9-5 while we build our dreams one block at a time. Oh! Yes of course, the passion is the cement that holds it all together.

Have a brilliant Monday!

Crystal Eyes

Crystal eyes, blue and green
I surmise to gaze upon and smile awhile
Dance, dream and I scream
With joy and with love
Far below and above

Crystal eyes bright, alive tonight
Always love does dwell.
Comfort, joy, a dream to tell
Excitement, elation, always patient

Crystal eyes a little weary
Must go on alone and teary
Sparkle like diamonds in the night
Shut once more, NO hold on tight.
Once before, and never again,
Slow to come; always to remain
To love, to bask, to float in the sea
In the land only for you and me
To love, to bask, to float in the sea
In the land only for you and me

Release – Happy Valentines Day!

Have a good cry. Grief is the doorway to your deepest self.

I suppose our affirmation for today is hardly appropriate for one of the most romantic days of the year? With that being sad not all of us are in the most wonderful loving and romantic relationship, are we?

So what do we do with all of this romantic energy? Do we sit and moan and whining that no-one loves us? I guess you can if you want too?

Today is for lovers – that’s true. Those who have love in one context of another? In years past I’ve spent this special day alone and yet not felt the pangs of sadness or regret.

Contemplating love in a myriad of ways is a time honoured ritual. I believe we should start with us – do we love ourselves? Are we respect of the love we have inherent to our existence in the world? Then how do we express this love to our family and friends? Or even our treasured pets? The underpinning concept of love flourishes through us by indulging in the passions that drive us toward our ultimate expression of love.

If you are alone then consider the quest for love as a journey – start with the acknowledgement that you are unique – a rare being – irreplaceable deserving of the best that love and life has to offer. If you are single don’t see it as a punishment or a sad testament to your existence. Instead, may I suggest that you view it as a rite of passage to a new and significant love of self?

The rain on the roof creates an ambience of cosiness. The tin roof of the garage plays a soft lovers tune – romantic notes fill the air as I connect with my pen and journal.

The New Moon in Pisces today imbues the day with an emotional and romantic energy; time to declare the day of St. Valentines as your special day for love.

Today marks the beginning of the year of the Tiger. There will be celebrations around the world marking the shift in signs. We are booked at our favourite Chinese restaurant for dinner tomorrow night to join in the celebrations with the dragon dance.

The Emperor bursts into my reading with his commanding presence. Take it to the top and don’t stop – don’t be afraid to ask for great – you deserve it!

The Tower leans under the pressure of responsibility and regret. Don’t give up on your ideals – they are the light source that drives the evolution of your soul.

The Star is glamorous and intoxicating in her vulnerability – share your scars with the world and you will receive the healing potion of love.

Love is all there is. Love yourself. Love one another – that’s all that matters when you life is in tatters.

Love, Peace and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Rejuvenation

Get good nights sleep. Rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit.

And that is exactly what I did! I have returned home to my family home and I asked for a good nights sleep and voila that’s exactly what I got!

I feel refreshed and rejuvenated and full of energy to start the day. Well, I am going to need it as I am visiting my grandsons today. And that will absorb lots of wonderful Grammy energy.

It’s a number nine day of resolution and conclusion. The day offers empowerment and consolidation. The cycle is coming to an end and we prepare for a new one. Lessons learned? Or has it been an intense exam?

I’ve felt very blessed and at ease this week. The cosmos has been kind and gentle. I feel serene and healed.

On our trip up from Canberra last night we played music from the past such as: The Big Chill, Practical Magic and The Boat that Rocked. It was nostalgic and yet we remained blissfully in the moment.

Even work this week has been a lovely calm and respectful haven. I suppose we all benefit when the planets are in harmony? I hope your week was a healing treasure trove too.

Let’s delve into the subconscious – The Tower is the obelisk filled with our values and beliefs. The rumble of distant thunder may threaten the serenity of our purpose. Lightening bolts may attack the fortress but we shall not be moved.

Hermes, the Magician is creative, communicative and confident. He is a trickster and utilises all of h is tools to create the destiny of dreams. He reminds me of my own special knowledge: the gifts of intuition, creativity and intelligence – pick up the wand, the cup and the sword and enter the magical realm of your dreams. Create the path to your future, Girl.

The Fool walks a new path. He is the adventurer, the bard the enthusiastic minstrel heralding changes that will take me from the stagnant pool of regret into the crystalline lake of possibilities.

Sure tried and true practices are important however when the lessons are done it is time to move on.

Bring on the marching band and step, one, two three.

Have a magical day of love and rejuvenation!

Peace, Love and Happiness,

Julia Ashton-Sayers

Support

Offer your support to someone. Experience the joy of serving others.

A number seven day offers the opportunity to look within. Be still. Read. Meditate. Be open. I look within and receive answers.

The Moon in Capricorn remains focused on career and business outcomes. However, the numerological energy of the day inspires us to hurry up and wait. We are supported by our spirit guidance and the Angelic realm – we are never alone (even though it may feel like it from time to time).

The Sun flashes crimson across a grey and dull canvas. The morning has broken and the birth of a new day heralds a fresh perspective to a very old situation. I am free from the torment that holds me back from moving forward – don’t be afraid to make mistakes for they are lessons couched in stripped pyjamas.

Apollo the Sun God is prominent in my morning spread. Peace, joy and happiness are strummed on his golden harp. Good food and harmony filters through the esoteric sieve. My soul encompasses the blessings of this grand feast. I am encouraged to be still and listen to the sound of my heart beat – I am at peace.

Prometheus chose to sanction his own happiness so we could live a joyful life. Destined for solitude of his alienation he becomes a source of inspiration to spring out of the oppression of discontent and seek a future filled with love and respect.

The Great Benefactor rolls into the immediate future. The Ferris wheel of life is lit up and the music plays. It’s time to march to the beat of your own drum – the rhythm heralds a new phase – a tribute to your resilience.

So many conversations are laced with frustration. We are forced to stay where we are right now to experience the exquisite beauty of the Now! Look around. Look within. What do you see? Now is the perfect moment to showcase your dreams of yesterday!

The Lovers Breath

Over mountains I have trudged
Beyond the storms I have toiled
Swam in seas of treachery and danger
Never to fall to fear or anger

I have searched long and very far
To nestle at the breast of one so true
Nights alone I have felt blue
And all along it was only you.
You I have searched for all my life
To come to you and rest on you
Your touch, your words, your breath

Now I smile and watch the snow
I have come here and nowhere to go
Reborn at last amid the love so vast
To sigh a while and nurture my soul
Return to you and play so bold

Today I gazed into your eyes
What I found in you
The love and comfort, my blessings heard
The touch of my lover’s breath
The love and comfort, my blessings heard
The touch of my lover’s breath

Exquisite love sent from above
Forever thankful of bounties plentiful
A sunrise is the beginning of another day
To me you are my heart’s desire
I dance with delight
And celebrate our love so bright
To come to you, my head on your chest
Your heartbeat sound
And the soft sensation of your breath

Revelation

Listen to your life. The right path will reveal itself.

Take a personal inventory – adjust time if necessary. Group work is favoured. Review your diet. Does it need adjusting? Look at your personality. Could it be more cheerful? Look at your responsibilities. Any that needs taking care of? Do you owe anything? Now is the time to pay up.

Mercury moves into Aquarius today so your mind may tent to track off into many different directions. It’s a Mercury phase where creative possibilities are explored.

Strength represents the courage to face your fears and do it anyway.

Judgement forces you to shed the past and become vulnerable.

The Hanged Man offers solitude on the tree of life.

Temperance is my guiding light through the darkest nights.

Revelation insists that we listen to our lives. What does your inner dialogue reveal about your current phase? What are the conversations you are having with other people? Are they truthful? Or are they trite or just plain, not true?

We create the façade and layer it with the polite responses but are we hiding our true selves? A smile and a nod and a polite, “yes I am fine thank you!” hides a multitude of unexplored tangents. Are we ever brave enough to declare, “you know what, I’m not really that happy!”

Whatever your internal conversations reveal its time to listen to the rhythm of your soul and make honest adjustments to your inner dialogue.

I know we are explicit with our friends. Those who have weathered the emotional storms and stood by us even when life has turned ugly are part of the inner sanctum of the trusted ones. It is with these golden allies that we reveal the tiny crevices of our soul while confident that we won’t be judged.

The Moon in Capricorn insists on honesty and a clear path toward your goals. Pave the way with positive intention. Dreams reveal the direction of your soul. The footprints in the snow clarify the actions. Step lively and take a chance. You’re worth it!

 
The Rescue

She frolicked and giggled as she swum beneath the surface enjoying the freedom of her realm. Her friends were the dolphins and the whales and life was wet and wild. No one could harm her and no one knew of her existence. She swam and flirted with gay abandon until she realized that while she had the freedom and the fun within the ocean she never knew true love.

How could she miss it? She had never had it. Deep within a secret place in her heart there was an empty place; a place that no one had ever touched and yet she ached for that touch. She longed for the day when he would come, come and rescue me. Rescue me from me and rescue me from the pain of life without you.

Time

Schedule a sacred date with yourself. You desire time for your life.

Change and surprise are on the menus for this number five day. Look your best. Really dress up. Get out and look for the new. Positive change is in the air. Today you are free. Expect a good surprise!

I’m back to Belly Dancing classes tonight. It’s a fun class with lots of giggles and some great exercise too. I adore my teacher and the troupes I dance with are fabulous women – what a treat!

The Moon is in business oriented Capricorn today. I give the impression that Capricorn is all work and no fun but look at Jim Carey – now he is one funny man. Although there was that movie, Nine – now that was pretty dark? I guess if we are looking at movies to describe Capricorn then we could consider Aviator and or Citizen Kane for starters. I have to admit that one of my favourite Capricorns is Denzel Washington – that is one serious Capi!

The Sun is still in Aquarius and the house of friend and social networking is definitely lit up. The Uranian feel is phenomenal. Don’t you think that it is pretty amazing that you can tweet your Prime Minister, favourite politician or even an actor who captivates your imagination? I do. It’s fun and interesting – from my perspective I view this Uranian environment as an online community. It’s great to be alive in the new millennium.

My morning spread reveals a journey of creative pursuits, transformation, surprises and love connections. I guess the creative vibe is not that far from me at all – and being a Scorpio, transformation lingers on the rim of my reality. Surprises don’t pass this way very often as my strong intuitive aspect picks up the chatter on the radar pretty quickly. So, surprises are good then, don’t you think?

The Moon is void of course so goals and plans may be on the go slow – it doesn’t mean that we should stop striving though – it just means that they may take a detour or get bogged down in the swamp.

Tomorrow is another day as we continue on our path. Don’t forget to take some time for you – it is time well spent when you walk, dance or create in your special place – the Nirvana within your soul. Or perhaps you would rather spend the time with your soul mate?




Alchemy of the Soul Mate Connection

When a moon on a cloud cast night
Hung above the tree tops height
You sung of me of some distant past
That made my heart beat strong and fast
Now I know I’m home at last

There are no accidents in this life.
We have connected this time for a reason.
I cannot promise a life without strife.
However, I know for sure this is our season.
