Merry Monday!

FIRST! Before I say another word, I want to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude and appreciation to those who increased MY abundance last week! It seems I was not the only person who has experience great results from our group abundance focus! I humbly accept your monetary gratitude and wish for it to return 10 fold to you and more.

Today I want to talk about expectations. I was watching Joel Osteen and Esther Hicks yesterday (not together of course, but what a great show that’d be!) and they got me all fired up about expectations.

Are you someone who wakes up in the morning and dreads getting out of bed? Do you lay there and think about all the reason that you DON’T want to get up? Do you lay there and curse the things that you know ware coming because you fear them or they just don’t excite you?

That isn’t the way in which we were meant to live. Heck, forget meant to. That’s not the way to live a life! What kind of life can you possibly have when your very first thoughts of the day are immediately on all the negativity that you DON’T want in your life.

We are here for joy. We are meant to rejoice in this life that’s been given to us. Just look at how amazing it all is! And it’s all just for you and your pleasure!

I’ve decided to start a new practice in my life.

I want to practice being in joy because really, why would I want to be anywhere else? I have practiced being in joy for a few years now. Practiced taking those knee jerk, reactive thoughts and turning them into, if not joyful, at least neutral thoughts. Turning my mind back to co-creation and the fact that all things outside of me are only a reflection of that which is residing inside of me.

Practicing being in joy or turning to joy is the way I’ve built my legacy thus far. Every day is an awesome gift and an opportunity to expand my life, love, and joyfulness. Every person I encounter is an opportunity to send a joyous smile out from me that will spread throughout the land.

So, a new practice.
Well, not really. I’ve been making lists of things I appreciate in the morning since the winter solstice, I’ve just not gotten a very regular practice out of it. Frankly, some mornings I don’t feel all that grateful, but I know making these lists will help change that. I also had been thinking about making a list of intentions for the day. Not a to-do list! Not things really. More like what I expect FROM the day, not what’s expected of me during the day. There’s quite a difference there.

I very highly recommend “Smart Diary Suite” as a desktop journal. It’s very easy to download and it’s 100% free. You can purchase a complete version of it for like, $20, but I’ve been using the free version for months now and I love it. I, personally, have no need to upgrade. I’ve tried quite a few diary/journal applications before and this one is by far my favorite. It’s SO easy to use that I had it all figured out and functional within 5 minutes. I didn’t even need the help section at all.

I hope you’ll join me in my new practice. The only thing you stand to lose is your bad attitude and you stand to gain everything you ever wanted! Not a bad deal by any measure!

~ Today, Monday (3-8-10) @ 6:13am EST, the Moon went v/c and remains until 12:13pm this afternoon ~

A nice quiet morning spent writing and relaxing in the quiet house alone. Heaven.

~ When She rights her course @ 12:13pm EST, She’ll move into Capricorn where She’ll remain, from Monday afternoon until 4:59pm EST on Wednesday (3-10-10) ~

My almanac says: “Capricorn develops strong structure. Focus on traditions, responsibilities, and obligations. A good time to set boundaries and rules.”

Capricorn is conservative, competitive, practical, and unemotional. Capricorn is also high energy and persistent in the pursuit of a goal. Creative is also a good Capricorn key word.

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

*King of Swords*

Wow! What a fantastic powerhouse for me through Wednesday! The King of Swords represents the just. The ethical and honest. Renders truthful judgment. Insightful and concerned with justice and truth. He’s well spoken and articulate. Understood.

~ My Plan: Monday afternoon through Wednesday early evening ~

Today is my Day Spa Monday and I intend to take full advantage! Having creative imagination supported so nicely in Capricorn, I intend to also spend a good amount of time today in daydream. How wonderful to actually PLAN to daydream :) My Hubby is working on starting his own business and so much in my life is expanding super fast right now, spending some time daydreaming about how things will look can only serve to assist me!

We’re taking a family trip to Colorado to visit Ash and her family in April. We’re scheduled to leave by car on Thursday, April 1st. I can’t seem to daydream ENOUGH about this! I am… well… we ALL are SOOO excited about this! I’ve been attracting this one for a while now :D

I intend to round out Tuesday with some good, manual labor. I have a ton of painting and cleaning to do in our rental property so we can get someone in it again soon. Now that the court date has passed and things are calm again, it’s time for me to turn my focus into repair and find the peace in that house again.

Wednesday, right before the Moon v/c again, I have ANOTHER appointment at the school. This time I have to go talk to my son’s 2 teachers. I already had it out with the principal, and now that the teachers have denied any wrong-doing, I have to go back in and confront them myself. The moon AND the tarot are seemingly on my side in this, which I greatly appreciate.

Of course, I’m ALWAYS fully supported by the Universe. I guess plans and readings like this simply show me that I’ve got my own head in the right place and that I’m fully supporting the direction in which the Universe is nudging me to go.

I truly can’t even recall the last time everything didn’t turn out exactly as I’d wanted or at least in an equally pleasing fashion. Ah, the joys of walking a loving path and leading a charmed life.

Be blessed in all you do. The choice is yours.

Tell a friend!

The rat attacked the cat.

This phrase has caused riotous laughter to ripple through my house this morning.  I listened to the boys in stitches on the couch as they all tried to repeat the simple phrase, multiple times in a row to no avail and chuckled to myself, filled with thoughts of how it really IS the simple things that make life enjoyable.

There’s nowhere in the world I’d have rather of been.  There’s nothing under the sun I’d have rather of been doing.  It was a moment carved out of perfection and total contentedness.  It was priceless.

We are all wealthy beyond reason when we count all those priceless things.  The memories and moments and mental images and the cherished things in our personal histories that spreads warmth through our souls.  And even if you feel yourself wealthy in hardships as well, it is still an abundance of wealth to be thankful for and rejoice in, for it is out of those hardships that the cherished springs forth.  Without one, the other could not exist.

We experience our greatest leaps in personal growth in hard times.  Such is the force of evolution.  Personal growth reinforces and expands our relationship with the Universe as we become more and more aware of who we really are and what our purposes really are for being here.

Join me today as I count my blessings.  Not the good or bad.  Not the pretty or the ugly.

Today as I sit here, I will be fully aware of how the fact that I am able to sit here at ALL is a blessing.  I will allow all good to flow into my life, uninhibited, but I will also allow the growth that seeks me to be as it needs to be in order for me to most easily find my way.  I will walk in peace knowing that I am fully supported by the Universe in all I do.  I will see my world as a canvas upon which I am to paint my masterpiece and I will cover it in beautiful strokes of laughter and love.

I love this amazing life… and I wish those words weren’t so inadequate.  Some times there are just no words.

~ Last night, Friday (3-5-10) @ 11:32pm EST, the Moon went v/c until 2:36am this morning ~

I was snoring happily!  I hope you were too :)

~ She righted her course @ 2:36am EST, and moved into Sagittarius where She’ll remain, from Saturday / this morning until 6:13am EST on Monday (3-8-10) ~

My almanac says: “Sagittarius encourages flights of imagination and confidence.  This moon sign is adventurous, philosophical, and athletic.  Favors expansion and growth.”

Sagittarius energy is all about seeking truth, growth, and adventure.  It flies by the seat of it’s pants and does impulsive and pleasurable things.  It’s also highly optimistic and has great faith.

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

*Ace of Pentacles*

This one is all about trust!  About moving forward in faith and knowing that I am totally secure in my life.  This is such a fitting card for this transit through Sagittarius.  This card doesn’t really support the impulsive and fantastical nature of Sagittarius, but it is all about knowing your seeds have been planted and putting your faith and trust in their coming fruition.

~ My Plan: Saturday morning through Monday morning ~

I intend to focus upon a new adventure!  I’m going to be stepping out of my comfort zone and I’m going to start doing tarot readings for other people.  As I’ve been learning and practicing, I’ve done oodles of readings for my friend K and oodles for every situation in my life.  I’ve become much more confident in my interpretations and accuracy and even though it scares the crap out of me (LOL) I think it’s time to grow with it.

It’s been a goal of mine for quite some time to be more developed in my intuitive abilities and to read tarot cards and I’ve finally reached the point that I feel like I have the ability to share something of value.  So, you can all look forward to seeing a “Get a tarot reading” page in the very near future!

I hope your weekend is fantastic!

Blessed Saturday to All!!

I’m having a very slow weekend.  As I sit here typing this, I still don my bed hair, jammie pants, and a big, over-sized sweatshirt.  Ah, the joy of a lazy weekend!

Today my only interest is relaxation and enjoyment, so in the spirit of my goals for today, I give you some things to smile about!

~ Today, Saturday (2-27-10) @ 3:15pm EST, the Moon v/c until 7:52pm this evening ~

As I’ve already stated and HAVE been saying for days now, my only interest at this time is rest and relaxation!  Coming out of illness and my personal moon cycle AND a lot of stress, being at peace and relaxed and calm are my only concerns right now.  The moon going void of course is always supportive of rest and recuperation mainly because it’s NOT supportive of beginnings or manifesting, which today, is fine by me!

~ When She rights her course @ 7:52pm EST, she’ll move into Virgo where she’ll remain, from Saturday evening, through our Quickening (Full) Moon @ 11:38am on Sunday, and until 12:36pm EST on Monday (3-01-10) ~

My almanac says: Virgo favors the accomplishment of details and commands from higher up.  Focus on health, hygiene, and daily schedules.

Virgo is an Earth sign and places emphasis on things that you might describe as grounding.  Things that are practical, functional, nurturing, stabilizing, etc..

** The Quickening Moon falls Sunday and it’s an AMAZING time for ritual and creation!  We know the Earth below us is stirring to life and we are but a few short weeks away from seeing the first visible signs of life emerging from our Mother.  Preform rituals for self growth and purpose.  What do you want to achieve personally? **

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

*I find it ironic that I spilled a potted plant and covered my tarot deck with Earth as I reached for them to draw a card for my Earthy weekend :) *

** Queen of Cups **

The Queen of Cups is telling me to focus upon my intuition and psychic development during this Quickening Moon.  To say I’ve been feeling the quickening of psychic development a lot lately would be an incredibly accurate statement.  As I typed about personal goals and achievements above, I wondered in the back of my mind just what I should personally focus upon.  Looks as though I’ve gotten my answer.

~ My Plan: Saturday evening through Monday afternoon ~

The Full Moon is recognized over 3 days time.  The day before, day of, and day after.  I am very excited about this grounding and centering, Quickening Moon in Virgo.  Especially so now that I’ve drawn the Queen of Cups and am intending to focus upon that little psychic voice inside of me.  That little voice excites me quite thoroughly.

I’ve got no plans, nowhere to be, and nothing happening this weekend.  Not only that, but we’re in the middle of a 3 day snow storm and are quite literally snowbound right now.  How wonderfully perfect!

Today I’m simply going to spend time watching this beautiful storm and communing with my Spirit.  Tomorrow I will take advantage of the Full Moon and do a ritual for the expansion of my psychic vision.  Then Monday is my “Day Spa Monday” so i see no reason why I shouldn’t spend the day honoring my inner and outer Goddess & being at one with the Universe.  Sounds like pure bliss to me!

Plenty of grounding and centering going on.  Oodles of personal focus.  And my personal favorite, lots of rest and relaxation. As a side note, I need to pay some attention to my household cleaning schedule. Time to re-evaluate and rearrange some things. I know I’m not the only person who has some clutter and chaos at home. This weekend is a wonderful time for setting chore lists and schedules. Virgo’s energies are quite conductive to lists and schedules for the household.

What sort of personal goals will you focus on?  What do you want for you?!

Happy Thursday Everyone!

I have a kiddo home today.  He has a lot of stress going on right now.  He needs a day.

Sometimes we forget that our children are people too.  They have thoughts and feelings and stress and anxiety and fear just like adults do.  And while the things they are stressed out about aren’t a really big deal in the long run, they are the most important things in their life, which to them, makes it just as large, ominous and imposing as anything that might be stressing you out.

I don’t advocate skipping school, but given the nature of what’s happening for him in school right now and the facts that he tried to stay home this morning, then called from the nurses office “nauseated”, and they only have a half day today anyway, I went and picked him up.  I thought he might be faking the belly ache, but then I considered that when I’m stressed out, my belly hurts too.

Cancer stimulates emotional rapport between people.  Pinpoints needs, supports growth and nurturance.  Tend to domestic concerns.

That’s where the moon has been the past couple of days and I’d intended to rest.  I’m glad I went with that because that meant I had nothing else happening while I was in the school standing up for some pretty incredible injustices upon my son.  What a HIGHLY emotional day yesterday was!! For ALL of my clan.

But I do believe there was a pinpointing of needs and it was certainly a fantastic situation for some growth.  When emotions run high though, I find myself simply exhausted!

Having that beautiful moon today begin Her transit through Leo should help me recover from the exhaustion I’m feeling from such an emotional couple of days.

Today, Thursday (2-25-10) @ 12:48pm EST, the Moon v/c until 8:08pm this evening.

Calming rest and relaxation. That is what I’m ALL about on this beautiful day.  I had a pretty large snag in my morning, but I got a fantastic cup of coffee and went through my morning wake up time aimlessly on my laptop.  Then after everyone left for the day, I set my alter and lit a candle and prayed for relaxation and love and guidance.  I prayed for happy and peace filled days for everyone in my life and everyone in their lives too.  Most especially the ones I know that are in need of the peace. *winks@Annie

I’m REALLY sold on setting an alter every morning.  It REALLY has an effect on my mood.  If any other day had started the way this one did, I’d have lost the entire day.  Today, I laugh and move on.

When She rights her course @ 8:08pm EST, she’ll move into Leo where she’ll remain, from Thursday evening until 3:15pm EST on Saturday (2-27-10).

My almanac says: Leo draws emphasis to the self, to central ideas or institutions, away from connections with others and emotional needs.  People tend to be melodramatic.

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

Seven of Staffs

~ My Plan: Thursday evening through Saturday afternoon ~

Well, I intend to find some relaxation no matter what!  But it’s looking like overall, it’s literally not in the cards.  The seven of staffs tells me that I’m to be waging war.  I need to stand my ground and be swift and sure.

I’d figured we’d be dealing with the school for the rest of the week and I guess I was right.  I cannot allow injustice upon children.  Now, however, I know that I’m being fully supported by the Universe in this undertaking… Not that there was ever a question.

It’s a double posting day today!  Hot on the heels of the SynchroDestiny post, I give you Moon Manifestation.

Today, Tuesday (2-23-10) @ 12:29pm EST, the Moon v/c until 6:29pm this evening.

I love when I think I need a break and the Universe agrees.  I intend to relax today.  Yesterday’s “Day Spa Monday” didn’t go as relaxingly as planned.  I did however enjoy my day.  I had some running to do so I popped into my very favorite store in the world, The Silver Branch, while I was out.

I suppose it was meant to be because I met a couple of fantastic women while I was there.  I’ve been consciously attempting to be in a “meeting new people” vibe and I guess it’s working nicely :)

But anyhow, today I will just chill.  I have some minor chores to do, but then I think I may write some more.  It’s nearly 40 degrees outside.  There may be a walk in Abby and Bandit’s near future too!

When She rights her course @ 6:29pm EST, she’ll move into Cancer where she’ll remain, from Tuesday evening until 12:48pm EST on Thursday (2-25-10).

My almanac says: Cancer stimulates emotional rapport between people.  Pinpoints needs, supports growth and nurturance.  Tend to domestic concerns.

My Plan: Tuesday evening through Thursday around noon ~ Emotional is the key word in this for me.  Being “Moon Linked” as I am, as a woman… please know what I mean… I always cycle around the full moon.  This coming Sunday is our next full Moon which makes right NOW my most highly charged, emotional time.

I think I WILL tend to domestic concerns by staying home and just chilling.  I believe that when you’re feeling run down and tired, it’s not a time to chug a coffee and get it together, but a time to allow your body the rest it’s asking you for.

It’s very important to me that my mind and body have a strong connection and communication.  Whenever you “FEEL“, you’re being communicated with.  Sometimes by the mind and sometimes by the body, but emotional and physical feelings are your outer world communicating with your inner world.  Heed their words and honor yourself.

~ Moon Manifestation Tarot Card ~

I’ve been learning about tarot.  I am working with the most beautiful deck.  I adore them.  I love just sitting and shuffling them!  They feel wonderful in my hands.  That might sound nutty, but hopefully some of you out there understand what I’m saying.  The deck is called Tarot of a Moon Garden.

Learning to read tarot cards is one of the things I’m doing this year.  I started out with high hopes and was drawing a card every day.  Then I forgot days, sometimes weeks, and now that I’ve figured out the format for my “Moon Manifestation” and received my gorgeous new deck from Amazon, I’m going to draw a card with each Moon Manifestation post.

So!  Today I have drawn the Eight of Cups.

The eight of cups tells me that I feel weary and run down because I need to let go and move on.  It’s funny that I should draw this card because I know that’s exactly what I need to do, and during this highly emotional week I have highly emotional circumstances impending where there will be an ending for me.  Not a complete severance of relationship, but it’s clearly changing and  I have to let it change and see what comes of it.  I know I’m resisting it because I feel like crap.  My emotions and body are all screaming at me to release it to be as it will.  I will focus on that.

How’s the beginning of your week looking?  oxoxx

Tell a friend!

Today I have an article for you that I’m reprinting.   Anyone who knows me knows that I live my life according to synchronicity.  I wanted to give an example of synchronicity but nothing came immediately to mind, so I decided to use the restroom and wait for Hubby to leave so the house would be quiet and I could think more clearly.  Oddly, I ended up with a synchronicity for an example.   Here’s a short and funny story….

I typed out the first two lines of this post and then went to the restroom.   While in there, I saw a magazine I’ve been meaning to reread.

YESTERDAY, I was getting ready to leave the house and just go out and I picked up my little silver hoop earrings.  Holding them in my left hand, I could see the silver of my earrings and the gold of my wedding rings, and I remembered an article I read somewhere once, quite a long time ago.  It talked about playing up your skin tones by finding out if you have warm or cool tones.   To check, you hold up silver and then gold to your skin.  One of them should look better against your skin than the other.  Gold speaks of warm tones and silver speaks of cool tones.  Easy enough!

So this morning, I saw this magazine under 2 books and a small collection of clothes that’d been tossed up onto the shelf for safe keeping.   I reached up and grabbed it, looked at the cover, then flipped absently through a few pages of ads and landed on a word filled page where I could begin to read/skim through.  As my eyes focused upon the first few words, I found myself looking directly at the article snippet I’d previously read a year ago about the warm and cool skin tones.

Now here I am, recounting my delightful synchronicity to you as an introduction to the one and only Deepak Chopra.  If you’ve never read any of Doctor Chopra’s work, I very highly recommend it.  He’s very synchronicity, God, quantum mechanics, inner = outer reality; esk. LOL

My very very very favorite book of his, which I have, covered in marginal notes and yellow and orange highlighter pen, is The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence.  In my humble opinion, this book is like reading about where God meets and interacts with science.  It made sense of a LOT of things for me.  It took Spirituality and Law of Attraction and defined them scientifically showing how they are the same things and the actual mechanics of how LOA works and why.

Anyway… without further ado, I give you Deepak Chopra on synchronicity.  Enjoy and Happy Tuesday *)

by Deepak Chopra, M.D., New Age Journal

SynchroDestiny

From time to time, we’ve all experienced coincidences that seem to be
endowed with special significance. Perhaps the phone rings with a call from
a long-lost friend just as you’ve been thinking about that person. Or
you keep hearing a certain word or phrase in your reading and conversation.
Or something that you dreamed suddenly appears in real life. The Swiss
psychologist Carl Jung coned a word to describe these moments of
meaningful coincidence: “synchronicity. ”

A synchronicity is a coming together of seemingly unconnected
events. If you focus your attention, you may recognize that your life is shaped by
those moments of meaningful coincidence. You may even be able to nurture
and participate in those moments in a positive way. Together, this
awareness and intention make up what I call your SynchroDestiny.

In any aspect of life, attention and awareness foster growth.
Whenever you focus your attention on a subject or phenomenon, the object of your
attention will grow stronger. The more you become aware of meaningful
coincidences in your life, the more often you will encounter them.

Moreover, meaningful coincidences are well worth your attention.
According to Vedic tradition, there are two characteristics that define a
person on the path toward enlightenment: First, a sense that worries are
disappearing. Things may go wrong, but they don’t bother you anymore. Second, in
every area of your life, you become aware of a growing number of
synchronicities.

Most people experience at least one coincidence in their lives during
a single day. If you do not, don’t worry. Just cultivate an attitude
of relaxed attention and intention. Nature is built on an infinite
number of coincidences, and their presence in your life will soon become
apparent.

SynchroDestiny and the Conscious Energy Field

Although synchronicities may seem like events that just happen by
themselves, SynchroDestiny is definitely something that must be learned. But
this shouldn’t seem at all intimidating. After all, many things that we
take for granted in our everyday lives are actually learned behaviors and
responses.

Even the nature of the physical world is something that we learn
during early childhood. We are told that the whole truth about things is
available to our senses. Thus, when you look at a table, what you see is exactly
what’s there in space and time. It’s a piece of solid matter composed of smaller
pieces of solid matter all the way down to the level of subatomic
particles. This is a materialist interpretation of reality. It’s the way almost
everyone lives day in and day out.

But there is another philosophy, according to which the world that we
perceive through our senses is only a version of a deeper reality.
The Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato, for example, taught that the world
of our senses is a distortion, a mirage–like a shadow playing across a
wall. Many historians believed that the Greeks were influenced by spiritual
thinkers from India, where the idea of a deeper reality has a very long
history.

In Sanskrit, the word “maya” refers to the illusion that we perceive
the true nature of things through our senses. But we’re really seeing only a
very selective aspect of reality. That’s because beyond the manifest
physical universe, there is a field of energy, information, and intelligence
that orchestrates and governs the material environment. This ground-state
of creation is the conscious energy field.

The conscious energy field does not exist independently of our
perception of it. In other words, reality is a two-way street. We are both
transmitters and receivers of information. We are both the creation and the
creators of the conscious energy field. We are participants in a consciousness-
created universe.

This doesn’t mean that there’s no external reality, or that the
universe takes place inside our heads. What it means is that the physical
universe has no qualities or attributes in the absence of a conscious
observer.

For example, we see color as an attribute of physical reality. When
we look at an American flag, we see red, white, and blue. When we look at
the grass, we see green. But colors are not really inherent to the reality.
Instead, the phenomenon of color is a response made by the human nervous
system to stimuli from the environment.

We experience color as if it’s happening outside us, but we’re
actually projecting it from inside us. Color does not exist in the absence of
our observations. We create the phenomenon of color in the conscious
energy field. And we can create other phenomena as well, including
meaningful coincidences.

The Power of Intention

The power of intention is a critical factor in all areas of life.
Simply by intending to create synchronicity in your life, you can nurture that
result.

In Vedic teaching, there is an important concept relating to
spiritual evolution and the role that cosmic intention plays in our lives.
This is the concept of “dharma,” and understanding what dharma means is essential
to bringing synchronicity into your life.

“Dharma” is a Sanskrit word that refers to the natural path a person
is intended to follow through life. Your dharma is your destiny–but it
is destiny without any hint of compulsion or force. On the contrary,
your dharma is the path of least resistance. It’s the course that is most
right and most nourishing– that brings you the greatest fulfillment and the
most happiness.

Each of us has a gift, a special purpose that we alone can give to
the world. This is our individual dharma. We are meant to discover and share
this unique gift. When we do, we have achieved our true purpose in life.
If you are in harmony with your dharma, you will always remain anchored in a
sense of purpose and meaning.

Exercise: Finding Connections

To begin, just look around at the environment you’re in at this
moment. Pick out a certain detail. It may be from the color of the wallpaper of
the room you’re sitting in. It may be an image on a magazine cover. Keep the
image clearly in the mind for a moment.

Now listen to all the sounds that are in your environment. Is there
a conversation going on in the next room? Is there a radio or
television playing? Is someone using a loud lawnmower outside your window?
Pick a sound and hold it clearly in your mind.

Next, pick out some object that’s nearby and touch it. It can be a
coin, a book, or even a cat or a dog. Whatever it is, touch it with full
awareness, feel its texture, and pay attention to whether it’s hard or soft,
cold or warm.

You’ve had three experiences- -one of sight, one of sound, and one of
touch. Now give each of those experiences a one-word name. If your
experience of sound was of a baby crying, you could call it “baby.”

Over the next 24 hours, pay attention to how those words reappear in
your life–and to the memory of the sensory experiences linked to them. As
you look for those words and sense-memories, you’ll discover a series of
synchronicities associated with them. If you turn those words into
omens through the power of intention, you’ll encounter a series of
meaningful coincidences derived from those omens.
This is truly an exercise in using SynchroDestiny. It can also be a
step toward enlightenment, a step toward a richer understanding of your
destiny and how mysterious and magical your life really is.

Happy Day of Sun & Spirit!

I hope your weekend is going wonderfully.  I’m enjoying the bright sun, streaming through my patio door.  The dogs are outside enjoying the sunshine too!

The group ritual meditation went off without a hitch.  I’m not sure how many participated but I reached out.  Saturday, hubby and I took a road trip to the southern parts of Ohio to buy a truck for our new business.  The truck was for sale for $8000 but we drove away having paid $6500.  Maybe no one handed me $1500, but in my book… it counts! On the trip down, I put my charmed clip on the cash we were carrying.  Make of it what you will!

At the dawn of this beautiful day, the moon was still in Taurus.  At 1:47pm EST She will leave Taurus behind and enter the house of Gemini.

My almanac says: Gemini (The Twins): Things begun now are easily changed by outside influence.  Time for shortcuts, communications, games & fun.

(Hears The Kentucky Headhunters singing Spirit in the Sky in the background from the remodel zone. How fitting!)

My darling love, the Moon, will be in Gemini until She v/c at 12:29pm EST on Tuesday the 23rd.  She’ll be v/c until 6:29pm EST when She enters Cancer!

With the energy not being great for beginnings, I intend to focus more upon things already in the works.  Monday is my “Day Spa Monday” and I don’t plan anything.  I’ll sit and soak and relax and enjoy.  I may run to the library, but just to pick up a book they’re holding for me.  It’s extremely imoprtant to rejuvenate yourself.  If you don’t take time to recharge your own batteries, you’ll have no juice to give your family.

I have cleaning to do at our rental property next week.  Our tenants moved out a while back and I’ve never gotten around to the cleaning that needs done there.  We’ve decided to put it up for sale, which I think I’ll make happen Wednesday or Thursday while the Moon is in Cancer, but more on that when we get there!

Games and fun.  I can do games and fun.  I can already tell that Monday is going to RAWK!  In the meantime, a Tuesday is Gemini will work perfectly for me to cut some corners and get that darned cleaning done finally.

I’ve added a new page to the site.  “Astrological Houses” can be found here.  If you wonder what the energy is according to what house the moon is in, that’s the place to find it!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
