The Possibilities Book
When I was doing my research around the New Moon in Pisces and its effects, I read somewhere that until April we need to be in daydreaming mode. That makes sense, as the Spring Equinox is March 20-21. That’s the time we get serious about the seeds we are going to plant. So, until then, we need to be dreaming of, imagining all the possibilities, no matter how outrageous they seem, for the coming year. This is our prep work. For some unknown reason, it feels even more important this year. This year, we need to feel limitless and a little bit outrageous. When I was talking to a couple of friends a few days ago, I mentioned a favourite movie of mine – The Holiday – starring Queen Latifa, and how the main character had a Possibilities Book of all of her dreams. We decided a Possibilities Book was
Last Stop Before…
We’ve finally reached the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces. This journey each year is like a trip around one level of a spiral. Hopefully, we’ve advanced some over the year and are able to move up a level on the circuit and bring in new levels of awareness and understanding on all levels. Otherwise, it’s just same old same old. Pisces is a water sign, and as such, invites us to dream, to use our imaginations. It invites us to quiet times of reflection and inner work. It invites us to connect with spirit and to accept it’s guidance in our lives. It asks us to let go and trust. That seems to be a lot to ask of us – right? We’re busy trying to make a living, raising our families, tending our relationships. We’re tired by the time we get home, and just want to veg out.
Standing in line at the Supermarket
I was at the grocery store the other day – on a schedule of course – and of course there was a line up at the cashier. When it was finally my turn to pay, I handed my money to the cashier and took my change never looking up. I was focused on getting out of the store and on to the next ‘very important thing.’ With a startle, I realized the cashier was waiting for me, almost pulling me, to raise my head and look at her. When I did, she looked me directly in the eyes and smiled. That very short interaction changed my entire day. She paid attention to me. It was a small thing, looking at me and smiling, but it was huge. I relaxed, stopped rushing and my whole day shifted. That short encounter brought an awareness and a vow to be more conscious in
Time for Fun?
Personally, I’ve found this a challenging year so far – one rife with lessons. I don’t know about you – but I need a break. This Full Moon is a perfect time for that. Depending on where you are, either the 8th or the 9th of February is the Full Moon in Leo. Leo is a wonderful sign. It’s a fire sign ruled by the sun itself. People born under this sign are born leaders (or working on it), love to be in the spotlight and love having fun. It can be a party with Leo, which is perfect for right now. Lately, life has been pretty intense for a lot of people. Some are having intense dreams, events and people from the past are resurfacing energetically and physically. Some of us seem to be doing a life review, revisiting uncomfortable times. Some of us are feeling out of sorts,
Getting Ready to Grow
During my preparation for this auspicious new year, I asked what I needed to do in order to uplevel my energy. I was told to get even more in tune with the Earth. This made perfect sense, as this is a 4 year (2+2, 20+20), and four is a number of structure and foundation. The Earth is our foundation. The “how” to do this was to tune into the old celebrations around Earth’s rhythms, the honouring of the season changes and how they affect us. These were celebrations of people who lived off the land, who depended on the earth to provide for them. Life could be difficult and people were very tuned in to the changes and what they meant. Times are little different now. We’re not so connected to the earth, although still dependent on her. Times are still difficult, just in different ways. Personally, I’ve found this
Did You Get Struck by Lightning?
Friday the 24th was New Moon in Aquarius. Aquarius is an air sign, so it always confused me that the illustration for Aquarius is the Water Bearer – a being pouring water from a vessel. Even the name Aquarius bears water. Finally, I’ve come up with my own explanation. Air signs are connected to the mental realm – the realm of ideas and inspiration. I’ve decided that the vessel is full of the inspiration that we need in order to understand and fulfill the gifts we bring to the world, and we are receiving the download. What do you think? So, on Friday, or there about, we were to receive an inspiration, an understanding of an individual special gift that we can nurture and use for the betterment of man/womankind. As humanity, we expand and heal as each individual recognizes and uses their gift, moving into their power. If you weren’t
