It's been another lovely day in the shop. After meditating this morning before opening I was drawn to "grid" the shop with rose quartz. Gridding is one of the great ways to work with crystals by placing them in different patterns around a space or around a person. It raises the vibration as well as… Continue reading The Cuddle Grid
Blessed be on this Equinox everyone! A late one today as was running the Working with Crystals workshop tonight. The Aquarian surprised me by asking to come along. I had to check my phone several times (it is retrograde Mercury after all) to see whether i was seeing things or whether he was just being...well...Aquarian!… Continue reading Energy harvest
Whatever blip I experienced last week is over. This morning I meditated (Deepak's Manifesting through Grace, amazing) and spent some time reviewing my transits and reflecting upon their messages. Me time. Me time that involved connecting to source (Pisces), Me (Aries) and some methodical analysis (Virgo), this seems to be the alchemical combination I need… Continue reading Smiling at Serendipity
I am about to meditate, no doubt along with countless others, as today is the International Day of Peace. It is also the Equinox- equal day equal night. Balance. Equilibrium. And as the Sun transits into Libra Harmony. Whatever you are doing today find a moment, even the briefest flicker of a moment to radiate… Continue reading Possible future
It's been one of those shake your fists at the sky retrograde Mercury days today. Lots of irritation in the air, miscommunication and fractious connections. When this happens... don't take it personally. It's stuff. Your stuff, my stuff, other's stuff coming up from the dark and dancing around in our field of vision. It will… Continue reading Nothing personal
It's been a strange day. I opened the shop for the first time on a Saturday and to be honest I made the assumption that with it being the weekend it would be quite busy. Especially as I have some new stock too! Not so. Hmmm. Well there's a lesson in there for me about… Continue reading Threads
Mercury's backwards motion already yielding results in terms of reflection Specifically around our need to label and define to make sense of our world. Right on the money with Sun in the label-maker itself, Virgo. One of my new Capricorn sisters shared a story with me to illustrate. When a child is taught about birds… Continue reading Re-defined
Recently, very loving and generous Mother and Daughter friends of mine bought me an Oracle deck as a celebratory gift for opening the shop. The deck is The Spirit Messages by John Holland. On New Moon in Virgo I consulted the deck and was guided to a card called Animal Kingdom. I knew therefore to… Continue reading Puppy Joy
"They" said running a shop would be hard work, this I knew and was ready for but like a lot of things attempted for the first time not something you can completely prepare for either on an emotional or practical level. And it is, at times, tough going. Sometimes the sheer volume of tasks takes… Continue reading Back to normal
Well it appears that Mercury is already wobbling its way to its retrograde phase as a few of us are already starting to feel the shift in energy. Time to hunker down, find that discipline and stay tuned to your intuition as given all the other astrological influences (last weekend's solar eclipse, Pluto returning to… Continue reading Here we go
