All Good Things to Those Who Wait (for the right time!)

Today I drew The Wheel of Fortune from my deck of Tarot cards. Whenever I receive this card I get a 'hit' that the implications are much broader than myself. The universe doesn't do you (specifically) any favours, at exactly the time you want it. It's really all about timing and intention combined.

Let me explain. Life, as viewed from the perspective of those who follow earth religions or even within the agricultural industry, is cyclical. Time is not linear- and so each point, has been visited before, under different circumstances. "What goes around, comes around" is basically a mirror of the Emerald tablets message "As above, so below".  And so, luck comes around, good things are returned to those points and places in your chart which represent various areas of your lives.

The Wheel of Fortune asks us to open ourselves up to the cyclical nature of luck, fortune and wealth of spirit in general. We are all lucky in some part of our lives at any given time, according to Astrology. Like they say, there is always something to be grateful and happy about.Wherever Jupiter falls in the natal, progressed and solar return chart is generally where we are lucky, or at least protected. Jupiter, the ruler of that visionary and expansive sign of Sagittarius, is like Zeus of the Greek pantheon of deities. Jupiter is the name the Romans gave to the same 'essential energy/deity. Both cultures recognized the essence of the energy which was benevolent, powerful and one might even say 'good'. Though every planet in the chart is complete unto itself, never being either good or bad, but a pure reflection of it's essential nature.

Jupiter expands and grows things. Jupiter is happiness, progress and satisfaction.  Now Jupiter can grow things too much, or beyond all proportion too. This is the territory of fanatical fundamentalists, of being over confident, cocky and having that slight air of hubris. And we all know what happens to Survivor contestants under this not so good influence. Can you say tribal council?

So really it is about being aware that Jupiter's energy, like all the other planetary energies, is a gift to use wisely. It's a "take it or leave it" kind of scenario. The luck is there to use, like a resource, but only if we acknowledge, and use it consciously.

So The Wheel of Fortune, brings fortune, yes, powerfully proclaiming to you, here is some luck. Use it or don't use it. Just know that it is here for you, in this area of your life. You can use it if needed.

How much are you willing to embrace it?

Oh,and if you don't know what your Jupiter sign is, send me a message and I shall find it for you- and give you a little description.

Introductory Thingies

The years 2010 and 2011 were probably hard for every single person on this planet (and the planet herself) in some way or form. We had some trying times yet found our way through. Despite the resistance and with minimal casualties, we managed to come through it all and with our wisdom sufficiently increased we stepped into a new year. 2012.

Life is like this. For when we go through difficult times, we gain that much more compassion for ourselves and the people will go through similar challenges in the future- and so be in a position to help others and heal their hearts, if only just a little.So be someone for somebody in 2012, if only through being your most highest and authentic expression of yourself.

And having said that, I wish to set my intention for this blog: If only you ever read one sentence( wrought from the chaos that is my brain) , if only your read one word from this blog which reached you, helped you, nudged you, pointed at you to make you more aware, nurtured you, consoled you or made you laugh. Then my heart smiles and my purpose was fulfilled.

So here's to another year full of change and love.To 2012 and beyond.
