I was asked sometime ago to write an article for the Aquarius Rising newsletter. I did one the next day (‘quick’, I thought) then sent it off, I called it Courage. Meg (editor of newsletter) got back to me – "I think there’s something missing’ she said, "would you like to revisit it?"
That was some time ago now and the ‘story’ has still not been told.

So I sit down early, fingers on keyboard and wait with eager anticipation or is it cautious trepidation – for what will arise from the depths.
It’s easy, you see, to find some nifty bits, clever pieces that come straight from the head (and hands – in Gemini, they’re connected). For someone with a strong Mercury and Gemini, it comes naturally. But what about those deeper caverns, those seemingly inaccessible grottos? So deep that they are removed from conscious thought or memory.
Meg tells me that everyone has a story to tell – with my head, I have many – but what is the real one (for now)? Let’s see!

I came down to Adelaide almost a year ago now – a few things prompted this. The main stimulus for me is and always has been ‘my body’. Being a Virgo, I guess that’s not surprising!

I had worked hard to create a business and centre – Magick Moments – in Ipswich, Qld. My partner and I had completely renovated this lovely old (over 100 yrs) Queenslander house. The poor house had seen better days and once we started pulling everything apart it looked a real mess. I pulled off walls (much to my partner’s frustration), revealing incredible cedar boards beneath. He was frustrated because he had to fix anything I pulled apart – we had some very ‘trying’ times. I repaired, sanded and painted every square inch – inside and out. When I got to the outside that was a real scene – me perched up on scaffolding (which I’d hired and put up myself, with help) painting the outside of the house – it was a scorching heatwave and I was probably about 12 metres up in the air, precariously balancing with paint tin and brush in hand – it was very scary –!!! But I was determined! The poor neighbours – they were terrified for me! I had new floors put down where old boards had seen their final days – stripped all the old doors back to their beautiful wood, replacing a panel in one old door with simply gorgeous old pink glass. The place was coming alive!

When the renvo was finished it looked radiant – I had created my Magick Moments. Each person that came into that place, right up until I closed it, would all say ‘it feels so nice in here, what a beautiful place’. It was a very beautiful place and with the help of some others (particularly my partner Bryan - thank you so much!) I had created it!

I could also feel the change in the street, the energy seemed to have ‘lifted’ – it was palpable. Neighbours were so happy to have me there – they were all very sweet, Magick Moments had come to Keogh St. I experienced so much love there.

So why did I leave? Well it was August 2007, I’d just done my 2nd Astrology class (I’m self-taught, since 1959) with Babula in Mullumbimby (one of my favourite places). It was on the Black Moon. I wrote in my journal

"I took it as a sign to pull myself out of my groove for a few days during my Saturn Return and Lunar Eclipse. I hoped by being in a different environment it would widen my perspective and clarify my thoughts. Clear the cobwebs so to speak – illuminate my path ahead – on this most likely my last chapter here on earth. I knew there was change ahead – I could literally feel it in my ‘bones’ – but I was a bit afraid to instigate the changes – ‘what if?’ I mused. But I know if you don’t make changes when they’re due – they’ll be made for you. So best to get in first!"

I learnt that the Black Moon carries an energy of repression and loss, of the deepest, ancient feminine – like the lost goddess, the lost ancient mother. Her location can illuminate those areas of loss, pain and grief and show us how to heal these repressed energies. Bringing them alive, into conscious action so her strengths and wisdom can be used, to bring to life the goddess – her loving and caring ways.

I then went to spend some time at another of my favourite places Woodenbong, a gorgeous little town right on the Qld/NSW border, surrounded by mountains. It was my 2nd Saturn return and the day after was a Lunar Eclipse sitting directly on my Black Moon – a very powerful omen!

"Bit by bit the moon disappeared, not entirely, as I thought it might, but without the reflection of the sun, the moon looked like a muted red ball. As it went through its transformation I wondered what effect this must be having on all the bodies in the sky. "It must be having some effect," I thought. "How would this effect all the other planetary bodies?" Something cannot happen like this and not have any effect. It’s a huge event. I wondered how this would be effecting all the stars, how would they feel? What lasting effect would this have on them?

Something as large as a planet has a tremendous energetic field and when that’s altered it changes the entire field. It was kind of eerie in a way – this reddish huge planet sitting in the sky. It was clear that it is a planet and that it sits so close to us here on earth"

The eclipse was powerful, very powerful – and it changed my life!
Watching it was simply staggering! The night sky in Woodenbong is always brilliant – but this night something really powerful occurred. I awoke the next morning and new everything had been changed.

There were some more ‘hints’ or should I say ‘shoves’. I was still finding ‘reasons’ in my head, for not making changes. So guess what? Yes my body made sure I was listening. For the first time in my life I called the ambulance – something very weird was happening in my body and I didn’t know what it was. They took me to hospital with concern it may be a heart attack. All tests were fine. It happened again a couple of weeks later – this time they kept me in longer – but still nothing showing on the ‘machines’. I knew something was happening but it wasn’t ‘gross’ enough yet to register on their machines. The time for change had come. To add to that, one morning soon after, sitting at breakfast – the words came loud and clear ‘now is the time’ – they sounded insistent.

So the dismantling process began – it was huge – my beautiful home and Magick Moments! My beautiful home, which I’d invested so much time and energy, so much love – created much beauty and comfort – and my garden, my glorious garden. I had literally planted hundreds of trees and shrubs. I made many of my Flower Essences (Deva-line) from my garden. In fact the birth of my Deva-line Flower Essences began there. This was an enormous job! Extricating myself from all that I’d created was massive – simply massive.

The overwhelming sense of change that seemed to be occurring within every cell of my being – was overpowering – I simply had to concede. So I did.
It took around 9 mths for the whole transformation – from the initial ‘sense’ to leaving for Adelaide. That 9-month period has come again at different times – it really is a ‘gestation’ period.

Within that time of gynormous change I visited my values many times – they were my guiding lights – they kept me going. "What is important to me?" I would ask again and again. These values led me here – for now – who knows what the future holds?
Just recently my partner commented (in good humour) when I mentioned that I was ‘easy going’ - ‘you are many things, Courageous, very loving (at times!) and determined – but ‘easy going’ ‘I don’t think so!’ I had to agree! But there was that Courage word again!

Am I courageous – I don’t know. What I do know is that I have to be true to myself, I have to listen to what I’m saying, that voice never leads me astray.

"Time to do everything you want – live the life you’ve been putting off until tomorrow – ‘cause remember, tomorrow never comes"!

You could say these words are relevant for me in my life having turned 60 – but they are always relevant, every moment of every day they are relevant – because it’s my life – my very precious life.

Today is a big day in the 'heavens' - the massive system of space and life above us - the Sun is shifting direction!
Such a huge mass of living matter -so crucial for our existence here on earth has slowed, stopped and is just about (3.16pm exact Adelaide/Australia time) to begin his brilliant journey in a new direction.
For us down here in Oz it means 'yahoo - summer's on the way" - a little way ahead yet, but the focus is there!

Life is a lot about 'focus' isn’t it?

With the focus of such a giant, powerful mass of matter - this surely must have an impact! Imagine the focus, commitment and effort it must take for the Sun - to slow, stop and change direction - and why? Well, from my meagre mental meandering - i'd say - for the benefit of us here on Earth. So us down here can start to get warmer and you up there to cool for a while!

This life - such a miracle - such immense intelligence - so awe inspiring!
This incredible Earth - this awesome Universe and us magnificent Humans - enough for us to admire and investigate for eons, i would think!

So with this powerful energy occurring as i speak/write - how can i - how can you - use this gift in time to change directions in our own life? How can we muster all our focus, commitment and effort to build momentum into a new direction, one which is in sync with life and it's incredible intelligence.

Humans have been celebrating these special times - Solstices - for many a millennium, for various reasons. So how can you and i stop, refocus and move in a way in sync with life - our life and the life which surrounds us!

Another amazing opportunity we're given.

It's Full Moon time again!

The Sun and Moon are coming together, uniting their incredible energy - for a simply glorious display in the heavens above us! What actually happens at a Full Moon? It's the phase of the Moon when she sits on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun - facing each other. So the hemisphere of the Moon facing the Earth is almost fully illuminated by the Sun. They are reflecting each other, joining forces, combining their strengths to illuminate the surroundings - the surroundings being the constellation in which they are visiting.

They are currently travelling thru the constellation of Gemini and Sagittarius. Gemini and Sag sit opposite each other in the zodiacal wheel - this is known as an opposition in Astro terms. Signs in opposition are often described as being difficult to deal with, as they actually 'oppose' each other. They do provide the challenge for 'balance', but this opportunity grants us the chance to meet in the middle, take our egocentric vision away from ourselves and look at what is facing us. How can we blend the energies of self with that of the opposite self? I've always felt that opposites actually have a lot in common, they just look at things from opposite angles - this can actually give them tremendous insight, which joined together can create a more expansive view of the whole.

So when the Sun and Moon come into opposition - a huge opportunity exists - to see a greater view of the spectrum - what an opportunity! I guess that's why Full Moons have been celebrated since times long ago. People have performed rituals around the time of the full moon in many cultures. Even in our modern culture, many of our institutions have become acutely aware of this time of the month as they record more heightened levels of 'incidences' than normal. Apart from all of that - they are just magnificent to behold. Nature seems to come alive, as the Moon shines her gentle, loving energy on all - things seem heightened somehow, as if her brilliant energy transmutes a special magick. I just love the full moons - i feel like i want to bathe in her special aura, dance with all the 'litte folk', and celebrate this majestic time.

It's a shame that our modern lives often keep us indoors at night, missing her brilliant show. Why not create your own special ritual for the next full moon - acknowledge her, honour her - in that you will be acknowledging and honouring yourself, as she reflects back all you give.

Gemini and Sagittarius rule over the areas of our lives involved with gathering, sharing and communicating knowledge whilst seeking an even higher understanding of that knowledge - to evolve us to a greater level of understanding and wisdom. Gemini has the skill, curiosity and interest to search and seek out myriads of pieces of information and data which she contributes to the 'whole'. Sag doesn't have a lot of patience with bitty bits - his focus is on the big picture - how it all comes together. He has an innate understanding that a higher knowledge exists and he can take all this data and expand it till he sees the 'core', the diamond of wisdom within it. This he loads in his bow and aims far and wide - so we can all see this wisdom, as it illuminates our path ahead.

So what can that mean for us? Well, where in your life do you need to take your mental meanderings and create a bigger picture? How can you us the tools of your gathered knowledge, the information at hand - and paint it out on the hugest canvas you can find. Often things look clearer when they're bigger!

As a cute adjunct - i've developed this painful red swelling on the very point of my nose - not a good look! My realistic, analytic mind told me that's what happens when going from cold to hot temperatures - and being winter, that's what's happening. Then i thought - what is it that's right in front of me, literally at the end of my nose? It's becoming exaggerated to get my attention. Because i can get lost in my mental meanderings - what am i not seeing - that is obviously clear to everyone! The body is a wonderful point of reference - always! I'll hopefully busy myself in front of the computer today, so nobody has to see what is obvious to them and not me (i can just feel it) - my red nose!

So what needs to be taken out of the caven of your mind and magnified onto the canvas of your life? A little exercise - just start to keep looking for the big picture in everything around you at present - move those eyes from the computer screen to the scene outside your window - what is all around you that you keep missing because your focus is too narrow? I guess we gravitate a lot more to Gemini or maybe that's just me! But wherever there is Gemini - there also is Sag - they come together on the one continuum. You don't get one without the other.

So how can we/i give the old head a rest, respect the effort involved with gathering all this information - but create a break, a space so that all this information can alchemize into a more wholistic form. Good time to do a painting or a collage - get out all those ideas and thoughts from the head and put them on a canvas, a display - so you can clearly see the picture.

Use this special time - so abundantly given to us by our precious Mother Gaia - to illuminate the vision that sits within you right now - waiting so longingly for manifestation.

Let her light truely guide you to the manifestation of your ideas and thought - create your vision, our beautiful Mother Moon is supporting you.

till the next time

love and light
