A Most Perfect Time – Day 1030

XI – Strength – The Tarot of the Crone by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince

A Most Perfect Time

A new moon in the sign of Virgo occurred this evening at 8:51 p.m. Eastern Time. New beginnings. Setting new goals. A most perfect time to change things up in our lives, make fresh commitments, and start actively dreaming a new world into being.

The power of this particular new moon is magnified, of course, by the fact that it also marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year celebration of Rosh Hashanah, which began at sundown. The added ritual, prayer, and sacredness being brought to this month’s new moon precisely because of its significance to our Jewish brothers and sisters only adds to the power of this moment.

Yes, every new moon is a new beginning of one sort or another. But we’re also quite aware of the fact of power in numbers. There’s an energetic upgrade to our thoughts and efforts when we gather together to envision our future. So now more than ever it feels essential to our survival to work together toward imagining greater understanding, facilitating peace, and perhaps even seeking justice.

Spiritual Miracle Gro^®

I asked for a card to serve as a form of fertilizer for the seeds we’re planting at this powerful new moon and New Year. The card that revealed itself from my Tarot of the Crone deck was Strength.

Perhaps this message can serve as a meditation or point of reflection this week:

“I am Spirit

Making a body

Is what I do

I am Body

Expressing a spirit

Is what I do

You are Primal

You are Sublime

You are the Strongest

When both are One

In Strength is the image of a woman arising from the belly of a golden cobra. The background is the red of healthy power and passion. Strength is enlightened flesh, the life force flowing from your heart, from your belly and from your spirit. Strength is the power of kundalini, the energy ‘snake’ that uncoils from the base of the spine and rises up, bringing healing and knowledge. This is not about spirit taming the body, or lusts of the body overpowering the spirit; this is integration; this is knowing these are not separate things. Spirit and will are not attributes of the mind alone. Emotion is not felt only by the heart. Your body holds them all.

Whatever shape your body is in right now, it’s time to celebrate its life. Know that every breath you take feeds your power and infuses you with goodness and inspiration. Every breath you take is a victory over the forces of destruction. Feel how each cell of your body is an entire endless universe and how al of it, all of it, belongs to you.”

A Thought

It occurs to me as I share these words of Ellen Lorenzi-Prince (creator of The Tarot of the Crone) that this specific interpretation of the Strength card could not be more perfect for the times we find ourselves in.

Given the misogynistic ‘law’ passed by the Texas legislature ripping power over women’s bodies away from women themselves and handing it over to random religious zealot vigilantes, I have a feeling we’re going to see the Power of Woman rise up. It’s going to be a new day in Texas and this country.

Women will not knuckle under to this fear-based oppression. On the contrary, now that the stakes have been set, and the gauntlet thrown (thank you, Supreme Court), we will rise up from the belly of the cobra – precisely like the woman in the Strength image. It is a most perfect time for us to do so. Our bodies hold our spirits, will, and emotion. And I guarantee we will not relinquish our power to the fear-based minority (the forces of destruction) who quake at what they do not know or understand.

Smoky Times – Day 675

Smoky Times

I find myself at a loss for words this evening. We’re living in some mighty smoky times, my friends. While I know I don’t need to tell you, I do find myself unable to concentrate on much else.

What does it say that the skies over the East Coast of the United States are being viewed through a burnt sienna filter as a result of raging infernos 3,000 miles away?

Is there no comprehension of the perversity surrounding two to three feet of rain falling on Alabama and Florida in a single day, at the same time that fires are consuming 4 million acres of land out west?

What blows my mind is that it is neither the peak of wildfire season nor the peak of hurricane season. Yet.

Meanwhile, we have proof positive, playing out before our very eyes, that those in the highest positions of authority in our government are lying to us day in and day out. Atrocities – literal atrocities – are being committed in our name and with our tax dollars against women who have been locked up in private prisons, some for three years or more, as a result of seeking asylum in our country. The country that used to pride itself on being a model of freedom and justice.

Gunfire

I’m sitting here writing these words with the front door of my home open. I was being serenaded by the heartiest of crickets remaining in the grasses and woods just outside.

As I wrote those last paragraphs above, I just heard gunfire. Rapid fire (semi-automatic?) gunfire.

It is 12:53 a.m.

I feel like I’m looking at my country through a haze of smoke and lies and disbelief that go far beyond the ravaging wildfires our brothers and sisters in California, Oregon, and Washington are enduring right now.

I need to consider, again, the small seeds I intend to plant tomorrow for the new moon. What will you be planting?

Numerology Course Starts Sunday! – Day 291

Numerology Course Starts Sunday!

If you didn’t heed my suggestion a few weeks ago, it’s time.

In fact, it’s all in perfect timing. Why do I think so?

Because I use a variety of tools that help me better understand my life and make the most of my decisions. So, even though I am promoting a course on numerology, I am also suggesting that the timing of signing up for the course tomorrow and beginning it on Sunday seems to be auspicious astrologically as well.

Tomorrow (Friday, 30 August 2019) is the new moon. It will take place in the constellation Virgo, which is an air sign and thus is connected to the mind and thoughts and tends to favor logical pursuits, timing, understanding, and getting things ‘just so’ and ‘in order.’

Great Timing!

So, with this new moon in Virgo, it’s the perfect time to sign up, if you haven’t already, for the Numerology Course (scroll to the bottom of the page) being given by my good friend Alison Baughman. Why? Because new moons are a great time to start something new, plant the seeds of your intentions, get things rolling.

You may recall I wrote about this opportunity some weeks ago. I recommended that you ‘carpe diem’ with respect to this chance to study with Alison because her most recent announcement suggested that this may be the last time she offers the course. Ever.

And as I said before: Alison doesn’t mess around. (She may be funny as hell, but she means what she says and says what she means.) So I’m planning on taking the course too. Not because I want to be a numerologist. But because I like having an excellent foundation in a modality, and I know Alison will provide it.

It’s just good to have a working knowledge of the energies associated with the numbers we encounter every day. I guarantee, once you take this course, you’ll be ‘reducing’ all the numbers that cross your path each day and taking into consideration what they may mean. You’ll start to take notice of the numbers that surround (and sometimes bombard) you in your life. You’ll pay attention to the impact numbers have on you and your experience.

Just watch.

As I’ve said a million times before this, we are put on this earth with a myriad of tools available to us to help us better understand what we’re doing and why. Numerology is one of those tools.

Join me Sunday? She wrote the book!
