A New Decade

 

 It is now November 5th, 2022 and it is the beginning of a new decade, a new decade in which I walk anew. Granted there is a lot of love out there, supportive friends and relatives, and of course always the possibility of new relationships. But I think that for the present at least I am feeling just fine ensconced in my warm and comfortable world of dreams and memories with my husband

.

 After all it is the place that I have chosen to create and the space in which I exist. It is me after all and I think that my inner child is alive and well again too.

The Rings of Love and Compassion

 

Vessels to gather new joy

 Today is Saturday October 5, 2022. I was just informed that a long time friend has past away. I feel like I am losing my inner child. Even though she still exists in my heart and my soul, and always will, there is a void that cannot be filled, nor would I want it to be. That void that we feel when something or someone dear passes should and must become the vessel in which to gather new joys and experiences, a safe place for dreams and memories.

 You see there is this thing in life that occurs only once for each of us if we are lucky. Every one of us feels it differently. It is a pairing of souls that cannot be denied, a joining of hearts; a longing of two entities to experience life together; an elaborate friendship. 

 Much like the moon to the tides or the rivers to the sea, these seasons of the soul are unique and special onto themselves. Would you desire that which is not your own it will never be yours, but if you give yourself to that which is offered you will own it forever.

 I have come to conclusion that even though I must accept my life for what it is at this moment I must also remember it for what it has been too. A rare and beautiful expression of love fully realized, of life richly lived and of dreams experienced together that will never vanish.

 So let us rejoice in past remembrances and look forward to filling our vessel with new ones.

The Procession of the Equinoxes

 

Leo’s keyword “I will” and the Aquarian keyword “I know” 

The Ages are a result of the astronomical phenomenon called the “procession of the equinoxes.” This procession is a backwards motion of the vernal equinox point. This vernal equinox point has moved back through the constellation of Pisces and is now in preparation for its backwards entrance into the constellation of Aquarius.

The Great Year has a cycle of about 25,868 years, during which time all the signs of the Zodiac take turns influencing the Earth and its inhabitants. The time the Earth spends under the influence of each sign is called a “Great Month.” The Earth moves through each sign slowly (about every 2,000 years) creating the opportunity for its influences to affect large numbers of people and geological occurrences.

This whole process is due to something called the “Procession of the Equinoxes. Due to a slight wobble in the Earth’s rotation, the constellation that the Earth appears to be passing in front of at the vernal equinox (around March 21), gradually changes, moving backward through the zodiac. That is why we are now in the age of Pisces, going into the age of Aquarius.

We are at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. So, the outer influence of this Age has to do with Aquarian principles. These principles include: freedom, brotherhood, humanity and revolution.

Leo’s keyword “I will” and the Aquarian keyword “I know” have catapulted us into the age of “The will to know.” influences to affect large numbers of people and geological occurrences.

The Journey

 

 Many years ago, when I was young and my world was fresh and new, I dared to leave my Circle of friends and family, and venture out into the excitement of a new land of promise.

 My goal was to find an alternative universe in which I could grow and flourish. We live an abundant life by daring to discover more. To prosper we must become, and continue to be healthy and happy, to progress despite, or because of our circumstance.

 Once I had set sail there was no turning back. Transitions are the universe's way of saying it is time to change. Whether it is a situation, a career or a lifestyle, it is the warning or suggestion that something more is about to come

‘When tides of time anoint the sails and blow us to and fro, then steer with oars we must begin, to chart our course, or no.

On the crest of waves we gain our thrust and fly across the sea. But constant care must be observed lest on the reef we'll be. Dashing hopes of long held dreams and swimming in the sea.

I have felt the strain of gravity pulling at my soul. I have felt the hand of mortality as it pushes me to the shoal. And I have felt the freedom of restraint when all is going wrong.

Perhaps it is infinity that holds the final key, a time, a place, a season that allows me to be free.

So let us trust in happenstance and learn from it indeed. That life is what we make of it. It's life itself we need’

Circles in the Age of Aquarius

 

Circles in the Age of Aquarius

The Whole within the Hole

 February 2023 will be the beginning of my 75th transit around our solar luminary – full circle again.

 While a circle has a beginning, it has no end. It embodies and encapsulates the hopes and dreams of that journey.

 Full circle is what happens when ages are completed as well and then move on. In their wake there are, what are called black holes.

  Much like an enormous recycling machine, a black hole transforms used energy into healthy new fodder.

 For the past 2,000 plus years, the sun has been in front of the constellation of Pisces. This is the significance of the so called Piscean Age. At some point, the sun at the equinox will be at the front of Aquarius. That’s the time the Age of Aquarius will begin.

 When Galaxies collide, the Universe responds in kind. This “Universal Consciousness” acts as the heart of an immense entity that both expands and contracts to keep the rhythm on track.

TRANSITIONS

Transitions are the Key

 

 

 Even though I was born in the age of Pisces, my Aquarian soul has led the way for most of my life.

 For as long as I can remember, I have felt the love and compassion of a hundred friends. I have mentored many and formed bonds with most.

 The significance of circles in our life journey is that they define and categorize our authentic selves. They give us structure and meaning in a somewhat hectic and endless road forward.

 Circles can become spirals when need be and the result is an elongated period that needs to be addressed.

Let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. We are about to go “Full Circle”.

FULL CIRCLE AGAIN

 

Let us add joy and happiness to each other’s mosaics and  encircle them with our love

 As this year has progressed day by day and event by event I have noticed one thing in particular. Life is as full or as empty as we perceive it to be. It is an intricate mosaic, a mosaic which, for better or worse, displays our very souls. Every person’s mosaic is unique, unique as their finger prints. They do not merely consist of DNA but rather are woven of everything that we have ever seen, touched or tasted every experience that we had throughout our life passage. Much like the universe itself we are star dust and being of such we will shine or diminish accordingly.

 My mosaic is quite colorful and full. It has been illuminated by such wonderful remembrances that if it could sing it would. Every tile was cast with the help of great friends and placed with loving care. It is a thing of beauty that when viewed for the first time seems too perfect. But a closer look reveals the cracks and lines that give it dimension. Perfection only exists in eye of the beholder and perfection is merely beauty at its best.

We need to be aware of our lives, every minute, everyday. Let us revel in our existence as if it might be gone tomorrow, because it could. And let us add joy and happiness to each other’s mosaics so that they might help us in turn to complete our own.

There may be times when mosaics much like window panes are fractured but remember they can always be replaced and or improved.
