The energy around these last two days… has been strange, dark and heavy.  Haven’t felt that kind of presence around for a while.

It’s very obvious when its present… there’s no hiding it’s existence.  It’s vibration seems to permeate the surroundings.  That’s quite an influence, to cover such magickal beauty.  What is it?  Or was it?  Hoping it’s moved on, that it’s visit was short and swift.  But there’s still a ‘feeling’ in the air.  I don’t like that feeling… those heavy, dark clouds threatening to engulf.

What is it?  I asked many times.  What’s going on?  Is it inside me, around me… am I picking up something that is happening, somewhere on our planet?  Is it someone I know… the questions were many.  How can I make my way safely, through this sticky, malingering presence?  I do what I know best, to help me during times like these.

Patience… all passes on.  We are all living through such massive evolutionary times.  The death of an Age, the birthing of the new… so much energy swirling and moving creating death, rebirth and change.  None of us are immune.  It really helps to have something ‘real and true’ … the existence of my Love filled Heart… that beats within me.

I look to the skies… Astrology has been a part of my journey since I was quite young.  I ‘discovered’ it very early on in my life.  I search the screen on my computer… what relationships are the planets forming?  What can they tell me?

Looking to the usual suspects… but still nothing is really jumping out.  It alludes me for now.

Jupiter has just gone direct… a new potent burst of growth and expansion, pushing through the resistance.  Is that what I feel?  And with Mars retrograde in Libra… could be some resistance happening.

Mars in Libra… a place he’s sometimes uncomfortable, is in his two-year retrograde cycle.  And it’s a long one this time… influencing us all right up to July.  He’s being really slowed down.  Mars represents how we use our energy to move, to act… to get things done.  Our desire, our will, our need to conquer… our desire for action.  The emotion of anger, frustration.

A retrograde cycle turns the energy inward… a review of old territory, retrospection, re-connection with what has passed.  Striving to renew, revitalize, re-create.  Lot’s of ‘re’ going on.

Libra is known for her love of balance and harmony, right relations… but she’s a Cardinal sign.  Cardinals like to initiate, move, create… make happen.  She doesn’t sit at home fiddling her thumbs.

So Mars is very active… in his backward, retrospective movement.

I think we just all need to be a little patient during these times… with so many big energies swirling, changing, morphing… transforming our world.  It’s good to have an anchor during these times.  Something that makes your Heart sing… makes you feel really good.

Yes… I know the big guy Pluto is edging closer and closer to the natal placement of my Moon… and all in his own house… a double whammy of sorts.  Rebirth, renewal, transformation… those words have been appearing often lately.  A time of rebirth requires a lot of trust… a place to put your focus, and a place that is safe.  To ‘know’ what is real and true and good… will protect us during the storms of these rebirth years.

‘Cause it’s not just dying that’s going on… the most magnificent birthing is happening at the same time.

Yes… it’s all about focus, commitment and passion.

I trust… I am always protected, loved and nurtured.

At least these big, black clouds have brought some rain…. the earth is loving it.

And maybe I can turn to my body for some answers…  her ceaseless wisdom is never ending.

 

lotsa luv

welcoming me home

Gentle rain is falling.  Mist and cloud cover the mountains;  adding a soft and alluring mystery to the forests.  Kookaburras are chortling, the earth drinks in the moisture, two lorikeets sit on the fence relishing the water that falls from the sky.   A lovely resting and healing day, provided for all.

It’s becoming fuller and stronger… you can now hear it fall onto the leaves, and branches… its wonderful tinkling sound, as it runs down the roof and into the gutters, filling the tanks…. ahhhh, rain, what a glorious sound…. what a blessing.  Thank you, thank you.

Water is now dripping from leaves, a large bush of cerese coloured Cosmo bow their heads in gratitude.  Life is a blessing… oh yes it is.

The Lorikeets still sitting, drinking in the moisture.  All is quiet and still, Life is celebrating… calling us back home.  The resident Butcher bird  sits on my lovely arch, her offspring (the one with the gorgeous singing voice) sits near by.  This Earth such a paradise… so much we’ve been given.  When we open our eyes… we see the miracle, sitting right in front of us.

In the wondrous sky above us the planets and stars reflect the activities and events here on Earth.  Everything reflects our current state.  In Astrological lore, the asteroid Chiron, who was discovered in our skies in 1977, sitting between Saturn and Uranus… carries a mighty message.  He represents the ‘wound’, our deepest, darkest, seemingly unreachable, unhealable wound…. and it’s healing.  The healing journey.  He’s the Shaman.

‘A major theme symbolised by the planet Chiron is the reconciliation and healing of the fundamental split between the spiritual and the instinctual in ourselves’

‘As early as 750BC, this split was already becoming institutionalized, as patriarchal social and religious forms replace their earlier matriarchal counterparts.  Before this time, in the areas now comprising Europe and the Near East, the Great Mother was worshipped in a multitude of different forms.  Being synonymous with fertility and the instinctual life, the suppression of her worship meant the feminine in general became devalued.’   Melanie Reinhart… ‘Chiron and the Healing Journey’

Chiron is currently sitting with our Sun and recently sat with our Moon.  His energy radiated through our Luminaries… his energy is being felt by all.  We can only heal ourself.  It all begins within.  The greatest thing we can do, is heal… and find that place of rest and solitude within ourselves.

Yes… it’s 2014, we’re all living through the last days, not of the Earth (even though these threats are there)… but of a time, an era… an Age.  And it’s not pretty.  Our sensitive receptors are finding it difficult.  But we must have faith… in ourselves.  We must know the truth… that Life is Love, kindness and care.  That we live in a paradise unparalleled… that we are gifted with each and every breath.

Yes it’s a serious time… a time for seriously becoming real… true to the calling of our Heart.  We are all divinely created human beings… gifted with so much.  Time to be who we really are.

Trust in the healing… it’s happening all the time.  I always remember my dear Dad’s wisdom… ‘there’s no such thing as a coincidence’.  Everything is bringing a message.  Whilst we’re alive, we have the potential to do anything… anything at all.  We can bring Peace to this Earth… of this, I have total faith.

Enjoy your breath.

lotsa luv…. marilynxxx

 

 

 

Inviting the Rain gods….

It’s another day, so quiet and still… in this sacred land that protects and nourishes both my body and soul.  So gentle the sounds,  you can feel the quietness caress your skin.  So much love exists.  The Mother’s presence is visceral and real.  Life is all around, celebrating and giving thanks.

Cool air, tingles and refreshes… these long, hot, dry summer days have taken their toll.  The Butcher bird serenades, the Kooka’s, Noisy Miners, Native Pigeons, Blue Honeyeaters, Wagtails and all the rest whose names I sometimes forget!

Native Pigeons… one of their favourite spots…

Ahhhh…. such an exciting moment just happened, my heart is singing…. my dear friends Missy, Bubs and Mumma came for a visit… I haven’t seen them for a while, I really love my friends.  Missy, Bubs and Mumma are my neighbours pets, they’re cow people and they were here on ‘my’ property for ages… Missy is Gemma’s (my dear departed friend) bub.  The three of them have always been a family, I get so excited when I see them… I really love them.

Missy and Bub were the first to arrive at the back fence…

I had to let them out of the paddock,  the electric fence had been broken, by some of those hungry mouths.  I’m growing some trees over in the paddock, the electric fence protects them.  The power is supplied by a Solar Panel… the battery needed replacing, that’s why it wasn’t ‘zinging’.  I  have a new battery now… so hopefully my friends can come and stay again… I miss them.

then Mumma… next Lucerne and nom, nom, nom…

So they (the three amigo’s) have been roaming the paddocks with the big herd of cows… I’m sure there’s a new little bub growing inside Mumma’s tummy… I’ve seen Mr Bull following passionately.  Mr Bull is never shy… he knows what he wants… and after it he goes.  Well thanks to him… we have all these little bubs around.  Mr Bull is very entertaining to watch… he certainly appears to be strongly focused on what he’s here for….  such a passionate suitor.

So an expected joy… this morning, seeing my loving friends again.  I gave them some more Lucerne, they’re still munching away.  That such things can fill your heart with love and joy…. aint Life grand.

Have a beautiful day….

lotsa luv

(and to the tiniest… this little wee spider has been keeping me company the whole time I’ve been writing… investigating my camera, the keyboard and now the side of the computer…. Life is a miracle )

 

 

I heard it gently fall last night…. it woke me from my sleep. I stretched my ears so I could hear… is it really, really rain?

The sound was gentle… but unmistakable… water was falling from the sky.

Rain was predicted for the drought stricken places, a little inland from here… up to 60 mls they were expecting… there’ll be some happy hearts and smiling faces this morning.

To see small puddles in little hollows… what a marvelous sight. The grass so cool, wet and moist… kissing the souls of my feet as I walk…. feels so good.

As I sit of the edge of my favourite deck… Journal and pen in hand… Baby Butcher Bird is hopping around, on the ground near by.  His feathers are darkening with each new day… he’s growing up, he’s learning more and more.

Wafting scents of eucalyptus tantalize my smelling …  ahh such wondrous earth aromas.

The sounds of life… so gentle on my hearing, so harmonious… so non-invasive and friendly.

The Mother’s care… beyond compare… a paradise, this wondrous Earth, this gifted Life.

lotsa luv
