Cosmic Updates/Blog

It was the 6th of June 2012. A special year of magickal manifestations.

Venus was crossing the Sun. It was getting a lot of press. I was eager to watch… I searched the house the night before… for a little piece of alfoil.

I didn’t buy it… but thought a piece may have come from somewhere. I wanted to create a home-made concoction so I could view the eclipse with my eyes.

Alas I found no alfoil… not even a skerrick. Somewhat disappointedly I said… ‘well, I’ll just have to feel it.’

Never imaging the panoramic show that would unfold… for my own personal viewing.

It was palpable… immediately colliding with my body.

As I walked out the kitchen door… onto the deck… the deafening silence… no bird sound.

Morning and no bird sound… Mahalia was bird paradise.

It was early still… 8am. Venus eclipsing Sun was scheduled around 11am.

The atmosphere was thick… I’m not sure I’ll ever find words to describe it. Maybe there aren’t any. But I can still see it… experience it inside me.

The glorious morning winter Sun was still fresh in the sky. My sun bed faced the rising sun. I lay down, horizontal… I wanted to absorb every particle.

The amazing silent air was radiating reverence. It was so powerful. The reverence was viscerally felt. This excitement… this honouring… this exalted presence.

‘It’s Venus’ … I said to myself… ‘they’re all awaiting the Goddess’. It was so palpable. The entire environment awaiting her arrival.

I stripped off… wanting to feel those potent Sun and Venus rays all over my skin.

The most extraordinary personal initiation. As these Venus drenched Sun rays absorbed into my skin… moving inside my body. It was Venus. She’d returned to my body. I saw… she’d been gone since I was 2yrs old.

I’m always amazed at what is possible to experience.

Life is truly holy🩷🩷🙏🏻🩷🩷

I can’t say I look forward to it… the early morning out the door. Confronting the crowds, not long after rising from my bed.

On the surface… like everything, it’s one thing… underneath another.

Everything is energy. And as an energy sensitive person… it’s a lot to take on.

On the surface… all those wonderfully fresh organic products… such a treat. The blueberry stall does a smashing trade. I’ve been eating a lot of them.

The fresh real/true free range eggs… the home made bread, yummy fresh croissants. The banana’s, best I’ve tasted. The banana king we have in these parts.

The coffee guy busy as always… I don’t drink it, but it always smells good.

Ahh the roses… freshly picked… yes, if on a budget flowers are a special treat. But so important to have around… they remind us of the magickal beauty that Mother Nature provides. You get to breathe it in right up close.

The baby brussel sprouts… what a treat they are. They often take me back to my London days… fresh out of Oz as an (unknowingly) innocent and sensitively vulnerable beautiful young girl. London… downtown Chelsea in the late sixties… what a production it was.

The market… it comes round quick. The familiar faces, both traders, acquaintances and friends. It’s the Northern Rivers, Byron Shire… so it holds that kind of vibe as well.

Seven years of keeping company (often close up and personal) with these folk… not long out of bed. Queuing at stalls. People close by… often intruding into my energy field. Was interesting through the pandemic… well, multi viruses still spread their wings.

Then there’s the roads… sigh. I don’t need to drive too far, but still enough to be reminded of the head space (or lack of) us humans carry around. Everything shows on the road. Mostly in a hurry. Wanting to get somewhere faster. Even through signs pleading for us to slow down… as we pass through koala home spaces.

But people have more important things to do it seems.

I don’t allow disillusionment to hang around too long. It hits me in the heart, when it’s close. But I quickly move on. Life’s too short.

But sure… life on planet Earth is paining right now. Imbiciles with mighty weapons, power and money. Playing god. Yeah it swells anger inside me… and also powerlessness. I wish I could do something about it. And commenting on social media… what’s the point?

So I do my best to recalibrate my nervous system… my wounded heart. My speechless voice.

I choose my life… I try… to live life consciously. It’s not always easy. I forget. Thankfully I have great guides around me that keep reminding me. Man, am I grateful for that.

So… whether the macro or the micro… the imbecile and maniacs killing and slaughtering life (the pinnacle of darkness). Or the impatient drivers on the road, unconsciousness spreading its nasty tentacles.

Market day is exhausting… for us sensitive souls.

Oh… I forgot about the parking… now that’s a trip.

Yes, all tiny things… in comparison to some.

But they all hold the same seed.

Hope your day feeds you with inspiration, love and hope.

It’s helpful if there is… Life is supporting us… all the time😀😀… we never walk alone. We are surrounded by many and much… so much supports us.

We’re precious to someone.

So what’s right in front of us? We don’t need to go on a hunt. You can have an adventure right here, right now.

Today May 1st… honouring the ancient ceremony of Samhain for us here in the south. It’s luscious Beltane for our northern hemisphere friends. I’ve been feeling Beltane… and I thought ‘of course’… my grandparents are from the northern lands… my mother born here in Oz. I’m second generation Ozzie😊😊

It was interesting and lovely feeling the remembrance of Beltane alive in my body.

I know them both.

It’s such a potent Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse… Scorpio’s modern ruler Pluto is stationary retrograde right now. That’s a lot of power contained in one spot 😯. Pluto turns retrograde tomorrow morning here in Oz.

Pluto energy is strong. Plus Samhain holds a potent Pluto signature. We’ve got triple whammy’s going on… so much power for regeneration.

It goes deep. Remembering honour… love and care for our Self… lots of slow, sinking deep into the love.

Transforming into what? As we leave our old cloak on the flames… what new one do we choose?

May’s a pretty potent month… always is with it’s Scorpio Full Moon.

But this year we have Scorpio’s Full Moon as an eclipse… on the same day as Samhain here** on May 6th. That’s a powerful combo.

And with Scorpio’s modern ruler Pluto turning retrograde just days before… back in Aquarius. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1778-1798… a significant time in our history.

We all have our own journey through life. These potent energies will work with you as they will. Certain parts of your life… calling for renewal.

Wishing you much love and happiness… Life really does wish that for us… 🌺🧡🌺

** Samhain/Beltane is traditionally celebrated April 30th/May 1st. The ‘real’ date is May 6th this year… as these cross-quarter celebrations are midpoints between Solstices and Equinoxes. Whose dates vary each year.

What a highly transformative time it is 🌺. Feels so creative and fun… stepping out. Stepping off the familiar road… having a go. A chance to do what you want. Lash out… fill yourself with you. Be all that you love to be… to surround yourself with.

Magickal Dark Moon time… the fertility. The immersion into the feminine… the Yin, in her sacred birthing ceremony… releasing the seed.

There’s a special magick in 2023… I saw it in the chart I did for the birth of 2023. There was such rich Goddess energy.

It’s a gift. During these times of dismantling… we are never abandoned. There’s always that care and love. So powerful they can be.

Be well. Be happy and prosperous😊 all the things that make you happy😊😊

One very precious life we have.

Much Love… Marilyn💗🐸💗

I’ve been feeling the restlessness… the name I give it… this agitation (or is readiness) to move forward.

Jeez… what a time it’s been. Those big ones are big when they’re happening… the resonance of which is often with you for a while. Then they move to the background a bit… the present flooding in.

I just remember what was being asked of me was hard… too hard. I’ll hopefully learn from that… one of my core values is never endangering myself.

I am way too precious.

And my life… is the most precious thing to me. And it’s not for sale… or bartering. It’s my sacred duty to learn the highest standards of love and care.

We’ve become very sloppy in this world we’ve created.

Man… is it due for an overhaul.

It’s been hot… hot right now. I remember this happening in March (here in Oz)… as March is traditionally first month of Autumn. I remember it often happening at this time… Summer coming on strong, reminding us that she’s not gone yet.

But who knows what the future holds.

I was thinking more extremes… then I thought of us, humans… and how we are on our home planet Earth… yes, extreme. Always wanting more.

The systems created by some of us… foster and encourage this toxic mindset.

Things are in flux.

I’ve been feeling that… viscerally in my body… things are shaking. Things are going to fall.

But we’re alive🐸🐝🐸

The big step this morning… I’d been craving an immersion in the glorious ocean. And it’s been so hot. This morning… my soft plan late yesterday… I would drive early down for a swim.

And I did😊

I have her still on my body😊

That was my first drive in over 3 weeks. Since the slip/fall (significantly injuring my knee)…

My tail bone area feels bruised from all the sitting/lying I’ve done.

I’ve been feeling myself ‘come back’… these last few days.

Then I thought ‘the shock’… I had moved out of it. I hadn’t thought of the shock component of the fall.

It activated so much. I’m pretty amazing… I have the power and gift of regeneration… but these last few months knocked me down.

But I get to do and focus on my favourite thing… Healing. I know it well.

Ooohh… potent time at present…moving into Dark of Moon. Always a Sacred Seeding.

And our Sun in balance… the powerful Autumn Equinox.

Pluto ready to step into Aquarius.

Being grounded in our precious Earth is good🌏

Happy and generous times… 🌺❤️🌺

Ps… As well as driving… taking myself somewhere by myself… I went to the beach by myself…

walked on the sand… soft and hard… went into the ocean. The ocean floor was heavily undulated. I didn’t go out far… played in the shallows… how wonderful it always is.

Another celebration for my knee… to navigate undulating ground while navigating the waves.

I’ve been fully trusting myself… I’m so much stronger in that. It’s so nice… she’s actually quite sensible and grounded🌺🌺
