What I have learned from this life, and yet

  I was reading a tweet about body image yesterday, how we should be proud of the body we have regardless of our shape (which I agree with, and liked) when at the same time I was sitting in the garden, holding in my round tummy, and sighing about the size of my upper arms.… Continue reading What I have learned from this life, and yet

The seeking of balance

Out of chaos, out of form, comes balance. It reveals itself, not to those who crave order but to those who walk through the mire. It holds those undesired in its arms, its cradle soothing their dissonance. It looks into our world of spinning thoughts and yearning, and speaks: "Find me in your middle, draw… Continue reading The seeking of balance

Smiling at Serendipity

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

Going bold

Things have been going at such a speed at the moment that I feel I'm going to meet myself on the way. So this morning I consciously stopped myself and asked for guidance. First up was my daily transit analysis of which each aspect was saying "heal" "connect" "go deeper". So strong were these messages… Continue reading Going bold

Forest wisdom

Today was a case of the ridiculous to the absolute sublime: Me, the Aquarian and a still and silent medieval forest. Bliss. There is nothing like a stroll through a deep and shaded forest, giving thanks to both amazing ancient trees and on their way to amazing new ones. Not only that but experiencing a… Continue reading Forest wisdom

Conundrum

So how do you write a post when your intuition is counselling you to be quiet? This isn't about being word shy nor is it about posting a picture instead. I just have someone saying "Shhhh" in the ether. It's a very odd and uncomfortable feeling especially for a Sun conjunct Mercury mindset. But like… Continue reading Conundrum

Reason, Season, Lifetime

Still encased in that magical space today which am now fairly sure is emanating from my amber pendant. Space really is a state of mind. I have realised too that like any friendship regular communication of love and care strengthens the relationship you can have with a crystal. Also like a friendship it takes a… Continue reading Reason, Season, Lifetime

In Gemini there is wisdom

Ah its that Friday feeling again. Every other day I write and it flows, except Friday. What is it about this day! So let's see. Friday, the day of the Norse God Frigg, equated to Venus (vendredi, viernes both derived from the Roman Goddess). Associations are prescience and wisdom, beauty, art and pleasure. These do… Continue reading In Gemini there is wisdom
