((Sun and Moon Tarot, Vanessa Decort))

Got a bright idea? Put it to work!

As you know, Mercury and Mars have already come out of retrograde – the time for review and regroup is over – and it is now time to move forward with your plans and ideas. Decide what you want to do, speak it into existence and follow it with dedicated action. You can make your life whatever you want it to be – just say YES! to the new idea(s).

This energy is fleeting – don’t let it blow out of town with out you.

Full of love and lust but terrified of intimacy? Your poster child has arrived!

KNOCK IT OFF!!

Without pointing fingers or naming names, I will say simply this: no one is getting any younger – the time you waste chasing sex and running from intimacy will be time you are BEGGING FOR on your death bed.

And I can hear you all out there,

“You just don’t understand – I’m a free spirit…”

“Well, if I ever met anyone worth the trouble…”

“Life is meant to be…”

FUCKING QUIT IT!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, tell those cover stories walking. Stop lying to yourself and everyone else, grow up and get to making REAL connections with REAL people who love and care for who you REALLY are.

And by the way – and not to put too fine a point upon it – if you do not, they will move on to someone else who will. Make no mistake, you will regret it.

• Stop being a coward. Stop running away.
• Stop getting caught up in petty bullshit (“he would never put the seat down,” “she wouldn’t shave her pubes”).
• Stop making shallow decisions (“I could never date a man without a car,” “She doesn’t know how to dress herself”).
• Stop following an ideal picture in your head when you have NO IDEA what it takes to create, and sustain, real relationships with real people. 

Your time is rightfuckingnow – DO NOT BLOW IT!!!

COME CORRECT OR NOT AT ALL!!!

Today is not the day for shrinking away from earnest conflict; if you have a position, be prepared to defend it. Do not allow anyone to move you off your sincerely held beliefs with bullying, shouting, or passive-aggression. Reasonable debate on issues and ideas should be respectfully entertained, and conducted with use of verifiable FACTS (I recommend snopes.com).

NOTE: This is NOT a call to pick fights or take immediate offense to slights; do not act like an ass and blame your tarot card reader. Mercury has gone direct – behave yourself!

THIS IS IT! THE LAST FULL WEEK OF AUGUST!

AND MERCURY IS OUT OF RETROGRADE, MARS SOON TO FOLLOW!!!

Summer is very nearly over, and Autumn fast approaches! If you feel like jumping for joy, go right ahead; this is the energy of a child with no regrets – and flying on a swing!

Enjoy this day, this feeling, this energy – it is perfect for planning your Full Moon activities (appearing in all her glory on August 26th, 6:45 AM CST – Chicago).

This energy will go out with the tides so don’t let it get away without basking at least a little bit. Remember, you’ve earned your successes!

Hope. Love. Balance. 

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!?!?!?!?

All the kids I know have already gone back to school!!!!

Welcome to the End of Summer

Time flies whether you are having fun or not.

This weekend, find time to enjoy your self with (or without!) friends, family, colleagues, loved ones. Walk in the park go to the beach, stroll the mall – WHATEVER!!!! – just do it and enjoy every moment of it. This weekend will never come again so enjoy it. 

This is the life you have; live it with hope, love, and balance.

Love and Light, 

Your Selene

 

 

 

Thank goodness that’s over!!!!

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

The new week opens upon a moment of realization; it didn’t work out as hoped.

Alas…earwax. 

THE GOOD NEWS: Nothing lasts forever, and that includes our challenges.

THE BAD NEWS: That won’t make you feel any better just this minute.

THE TAKEAWAY: Every new beginning is in some other beginning’s end. The process, though often uncomfortable (little bit of an understatement, perhaps), is both continuous as well as necessary. Do what you can to take it in stride.

REMINDER: No one dies from disappointment.

Karma. Knowing. Feeling.

Here we are! The first weekend of August, which also heralds the ending of the Summer. Back to School displays are up and sales are in full swing. If you have been spending your Summer as a Grasshopper, it is Ant time for sure!

Karma is calling! Justice represents a turning wheel – it’s even on the card! What goes around, comes around with or without our input (as we so often discuss when The Wheel of Fortune shows up!) but that is not the same as being a victim. You volunteered with every thought, word, and deeds you put in motion…Karma is a manifestation of your own wishes. Remember the old adage, “Be careful what you wish for as surely you will get it.” Well, here She is – on the scene with stuff to say! – and you will need to face whatever it is. 

THE BAD NEWS: There is no escaping yourself.

THE GOOD NEWS: You can certainly handle it.

TAKEAWAY: Allow yourself to feel everything that comes your way. 

Your weekend will likely be busy with errands as well as street faires, parties, barbeques, etc. Do yourself a big favor and do whatever you can to stay in the moment as you flow through your weekend; if you are with friends, do not think about the errands you should be running. When you are running errands, do not think about the next batch of errands for tomorrow. Just be in your moment as you do whatever the thing is. Recognize it really is all good, there are worse things than “busy,” and you can handle it.

Drink some lemonade. Eat some Strawberries. Sit in the grass. Jump in the pool.

Enjoy your weekend.

“You can’t do big things if you are distracted by small things.” Unknown

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

We are headed into the weekend with a timely reminder: do not be de-railed by distraction.

DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND! Distractions have their place; there are times when we genuinely need to be pulled away from something, someone, some idea, that begins to turn obsessive. Distractions can be something mindless (fidget spinners) or something menial (folding laundry) or something creative (painting) or something nurturing (soak in a tub). Distractions are not necessarily a problem, and are often a welcome break.

Right up until they are a problem, causing their own set of troubles.

We are all well-aware both Heaven and Devil are in the details but ask yourself: Am I too distracted by details that do not matter?

• Are there the same number of sugar packets as stevia packets? Unless you know how many of each you will exactly need – and really, how could you? – this is trivial. Put some of each out and move on.
• Do the napkins match the plates? Use white, they go with everything. Move on.
• Are all the books lined up evenly in the bookcase? If you want people to read them, this could not matter less. If you don’t want people to read them, glue them all together and never worry about it again.

If you seek out perfection down to the smallest detail, you will inevitably miss the beauty of the whole. Please do not do this. Please take a break from distractions and focus on the beauty and blessings in your life. Go forward today with an attitude of gratitude and appreciate the bounty of your life for surely you have many blessings others long to receive.

Enjoy your life – this is the only one you have.

“New ideas, new beginnings, new clarity – it’s all good.”

Deborah Blake

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

If there is a benefit to Mercury Retrograde, it is certainly this: the opportunity to review old information, and allow it to give us new ideas.

THE GOOD NEWS: New ideas may seem to be flooding in at an overwhelming rate.

THE BAD NEWS: New ideas may seem to be flooding in at an overwhelming rate.

TAKEAWAY: Welcome the new ideas; write them down, sort them out, make decisions about which ideas seem most likely to succeed – do NOT be in a hurry. MRx is good for new ideas but not so much enacting them in the moment. Gear up to rock it our after Mercury goes direct.

NOTE: MRx does not require you sit on your hands but it does advise you to use the utmost care (read three times, sign once, etc). Choose your battles wisely.
