User error had me lose my blog post that I wrote this morning about the upcoming solar eclipse. I selected “yes” to discard my draft. I meant to only discard the picture I posted because I wanted to remove the “location” from the photo for security safety before I posted it. So when I meant to say yes to “discard?,” it was to the photo, and not to the whole post draft (at least to me, but not the computer). Whoops!
That photo will show up later in my post. It’s a good idea, PSA: remove your location from the settings on your pictures before posting them.
So I’m writing (trying) to write the post again. It will be easier to type this on my computer so I will save the draft, now. Before I did that, the issue with updating a photo to my new draft was that the photos screen was no longer working! I deduced that I probably needed to update my jetpack software app on my iphone. This actually worked. Many interruptions, but problem solved. Now, to keep the flow with writing? Haha—
But… Before I could write this post, I also needed to treat a patient in my private practice, and now I want to get this blog post done before my meeting in 40 min. So I will write quickly, but efficiently. (Did I mention that I roller-skated for two hours on Sunday!?) The picture above was from the time I rollerskated before that. I got new skates a few weeks ago! The old Chicago skates were not meant for the serious skater. I went into the store to get a new stopper for the toe tip, and asked about the stability around the plates on the mounting hardware; as a result the woman directed me to buy new skates. I decided since I want to keep my wrists, spine, knees, and all my bones healthy–reduce the chance for falls, I ought to update my skates!
What does this have to do with astrology and the Solar Eclipse in Aries? Well, yes, Aries and mobility: you got that part. But, the first post was more integrated and I helped the reader (YOU!) look back to the following dates:
March 29, 2006
March 29, 1987
These were the last Aries eclipses in the series. This Saturday will be the last in the Aries series until at least 2032. Where is Aries in your chart? You are always welcome to contact me and I can help you look deeper into your personal astrology.
(Honestly the post I wrote before this one was much better) but it was missing the PSA, so I think you know, it’s okay.
For me, the eclipse is going to be taking place in my natal 2nd house of values, earning income and what I claim as mine. For me, it also contains the sign of Pisces, so yes, this aspect of my life has acted like a slippery fish. However, I will say that I am a generous person, very giving and very selfless. In fact this Aries energy has me really eager to meet with my Buddhist class tonight. My Reluctant Shaman group will also be meeting again as I’m starting to get into more and more “group work.” The previous group members all want to do the sessions again, so I will need to pick the date and get started. We have the time figured out that works for us all. Each step at a time.
I’m just gonna move on and share all sorts of stuff from my 5 year old daughter:
She won 2 gold medals this Saturday at her first ever Karate Tournament: She earned it in FORMS and FLAG SPARRING. I’m really proud of her. Also, I can see her personal artist style emerging already! Unlike me (i’ve been an eclectic artist with no real discernible “style,” her style is becoming unmistakeable to me!)
She made this gorgeous mantra box in her meditation class on Sunday–and I photographed it from several angles so you can have a looksie. I see her style in her drawing, coloring, and also in her other artistic media. Her school is really neat and they have a Great Artist event night coming up in April. The student’s grade levels each study an artist who is making social change with their artwork. I’ll share more about her class’s chosen artist to study in the next month or so (hint: She’s Indigenous Australian).
Below is her most recent LEGO creation. She is a genius with following instructions in order to build. This particular set has 3 different things that can be made. Of course the unicorn is the cutest of the 3, so it will probably be showcased for a while before it gets converted into the peacock and the seahorse.
See her box: Please ignore the napkin and the other things I had in my hand. Our lives move so fast, it’s tough enough to capture what I captured! She’s always creating and solving problems. I think it’s lovely there’s a precious mantra inside. “Om Mani ____ ” We don’t know. It’s not OM Mani Padme Om. It’s something else. Oh, it’s “OM ah HUM” which means, “Body, Speech, Mind”
Well, I ran out of time!
Yes, this eclipse is part of the bigness of the Neptune move into Aries bit! You know, that transit will last until 2039. So enjoy! We are definitely living in fast-moving and self-starting times.
How can you motivate yourself this Spring to be with the energy of Aries and also let go of the whole part about the future and all the unknowns? Aries is the fire that gets us moving. Have a great day, week, and apologies for the less than awesome post today–at least for what I wanted to write about astrology. I have a lot to share.
Remember to look at those dates I listed above and spend a wee little bit of time recalling what happened back then for insight into this week and the next 6 months of development.
AUM AH HUM
Fiesta Estrellas 
Kudos on your new skates and your daughter’s karate medals. I’m glad you encourage her to find her creativity and unique style! 😊
I encourage her but I’m the lucky one because she has an internal drive. I see it. It’s innate. It was her choice to do the tournament. I’m so proud of her. Thank you 🙏🏻 the skates are a big deal because I’ve been through so many starts and stops with my own health but mostly improving since the major injury in 2012. You know, the year the Mayans said the world would end? That’s when that part of my life did. Not Rollerskating, perse, but being carefree in my body! 🙂
I’m glad your health and mobility are improving Ka. 🙏🏻
It’s an up and down experience but the ups have been longer and the downs have been shorter. Thank you, my friend! Thank you very much! I have fought my way back to wellness and it has informed and educated me incredibly! Each struggle, challenge, obstacle is actually a gift in progress. 🙃☺️🙂🥾⛰️💪🔥🛞
13 years ago now. Mind blowing 🤯 the journey I’ve been on!
So much happening Ka. A very creative child, be it creating things around her or herself in her karate. And after reading this post I think she takes after mom 🤣
I tried the skates many years after I should have and they spoke to me, as I was laying on the ground 😂 But hey, nothing wrong with playing with a memory or two…but I will stick to healing I think 🤗❤️🙏
Hi Mark, there is so much happening. It’s not just me though, right? Every second a new company is updating their website, software requires updating or it won’t work right; but in my case: little people are growing fast! 😂
Oh yes, please heal… is that what you are doing? Tell me about it? Do you think memories interrupt healing? ❤️🩹 oh I am so curious to pick your lovely mind/heart— heart/mind. How is the land down under? Tell me more about your swans? 🦢 dolphins? 🐬 leave nothing out! 😂
Change of season into winter and my swans are all running away to breed, which means more for next year though 🤣 Something wrong with dolphins as I have barely seen any this summer. We had a couple of floods and I can ‘sense’ a lot of fertilizer or chemicals have washed down and put them off or something along those lines. Mind you, it has flooded before and this has not happened.
Holding memories can interrupt healing but I think they have a purpose. To hold something until you understand it, then let it go. I do remedial massage but as I was training Spirit came along for a chat so that I could ‘see’ problems, emotional or physical in clients, and ‘go’ wherever it is needed. Messages, a certain repair for an emotional problem that are held in holding patterns in the body, and of course those fears we hold.
Some amazing things I’ve touched. I was sitting in my car reading a newspaper one Sunday morning and Spirit made me look up to see a very pregnant lady. All I could feel was death, thinking a partner had passed away and she was left during the pregnancy. I let it go and went back to my reading. And Spirit said no, this is for you. So as she had walked past me Spirit said drive down past her but do not get out of the car, she will find it too confronting from a stranger.
So I did this and as she walked past me I just wound the window down and asked her ‘was she ok’. She burst into tears in a complete mess so I got out and helped her to a picnic seat and proceeded to do a ‘healing’, allowing to ‘let go’ of what she was holding. Her partner had left her, she was having twins and one had died and she had to take it to term for the safety of the other child. And she suffers from Graves disease. All a total mess. And then some total stranger pulls up out of nowhere wanting to help 🤗
It is a very profound thing to be given such care of another from that healing direction. To ‘feel’ their hurt and pain, see the blocks and understand them, and be able to guide at a depth that is not too intrusive but allow them to step into and go past those fears from within themselves. Many times I got to look at my own in doing them.
And an amazing part of all this was that I could do all of this because I had gone through my biggest fear and could see it in them. No two the same, and 40,000 different ways to get there…but…they are all built from a rejection of their love. Get them to tell you their pain, and in doing that you are half way there. Get them to dare to ask themselves the truth in how it truly makes them feel, and you’ll help them break through it. Get them to stand in their truth, and you have guided them to that healing. We all heal ourselves, but I just guide them there.
Sorry, got carried away. But ‘healing’ is a very beautiful and profound journey. For you, them, and a more open and unconditional love they find in going through it 🤗❤️🙏
It’s okay that you got carried away! I love how you are sharing your thoughts and heart expressions. I hear you when Spirit tells me to help another I get the messages similarly. Correct- we are the healers of ourselves and also how amazing compassion feels and that level of connecting. We are actually one and I do actually believe that energetically. Empowering others is number 1. It is profound 🧐 to be given such insight and messages to be delivered to another and from deep compassion given the wisdom to share the message only if granted an entry way and consent. The sweet pregnant woman you’ve told me about with one twin lost and her having to carry to term and her partner leaving her. She was not abandoned the moment you found her. What a precious reality you were able to present to her. Graves’ disease is very serious especially during pregnant as thyroid hormone is so important in the development.
I’m picturing your swans and I’m looking forward to alll the babies! You made me 🤭 I hope the dolphins have survived the environmental destruction. I’ll look forward to an update. Yes, a memory held can block; and it can also heal if it dissolves. I used to do massage before I added all the other modalities I work with. It’s a fundamental way to work with both energy and matter; it trains your hands and mind/body/spirit to tune into exactly what is needed. I started massage back in 2008. That’s 17 years ago now— but I did it informally long before that. I think it’s an innate thing that runs in the family— May your winter be cozy, Mark! I’ll be keeping my eye 👁️ on you! 😂😂😂
Thank you for your kind words Ka. It is a powerful journey to find that integrity, trust and love in ourselves…to pass it on from what we have become because of it. The greatest depth is the compassion and empathy…because we have been there. And then dare to help another in going beyond it.
My massage journey, like you, informally for years because I could ‘feel’ something within everybody. I finally took the training in 2000 along with Reiki and connected the dots to what I could feel, and then Spirit guiding to bring it all to that healing mode called love. It seems to be something within us all just needing to be released.
And your doing well kind lady, stepping into that truth you become in passing through those many walls we start with to find the beauty of that love within you. Take a bow, and thank you for the sharing of your journey. To allow others to take a breath and dare their journey also.
Will keep you up to date with the dolphins and swans. Maybe there’s a new resort out there somewhere I haven’t heard of yet that they have found 🤣❤️🙏
Oh wonderful! I would like to know if they found a resort! 😂 a spa or anything that would maybe 🤔 explain things… lol 🐬
Yes, my Reiki journey, too, began in 2007 and changed my life fundamentally. In 2017 I then became a Reiki Master Teacher. Then it took many more years. Soon I will be offering my own classes but it will also be integrated with another few modalities I’ve picked up in the last 8-10 years. I’ve had a couple of students but I haven’t been formally getting the word out there. Reiki led me to the Massage training and then eventually to my Masters and Doctorate in Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and herbs. I’ve just kept going…
It doesn’t end.
Love and dolphin 🐬 hugs! 🫂
Yes, a resort explains much 🤗🐬🤣🐬
Interesting similarities Ka, even though you have achieved more depth I’m feeling. Well done. I think that healing of love can be achieved in so many ways and you have shown that beautifully. Take a bow kind lady, and much love and dolphin hugs returned in kind 🤗🐬🤣🐬❤️🙏
We know each other for a special reason as we deepen each other. I am incredibly grateful for our time here together. You are so right about love 💗 and healing. What a sacred gift to share with each other! Spas for the win! 🐈🙏🏻🐬🧖🧖♀️🥰
I think dear Ka, this was more than an awesome post…. Well done first and foremost to your daughter for her wonderful Gold Medals. That is a wonderful achievement..
I know too how proud you both must be of her… And that beautiful box she made with mantra too … Definitely she is taking after her Mum/Mom. 🙂 …
And two hours roller skating… Now that brings back memories of my teens… Though my roller skates were the strap on kind to your shoes Lol, that adjusted to your size of shoe… 🙂 I loved to skate on our road on our housing avenue in our village.,.. Not to be recommended in todays traffic 🙂
Lots of exciting things yet to come, ALL in the STARS 🙂 ~
Sending much love dear Ka… Enjoy your week 🙂 xx 💖🙏
Your message is wonderfully reassuring! Thank you, Sue! I’m glad you liked my post! Yes, my daughter surprised herself. We are exceptionally proud.
Lovely to hear about your rollerskating! I can picture this perfectly — and I have seen those skates! Yes the roadways are not what they once were. Nothing about life is anything like what it once was. I’m remarking today how now someone is talking about AI at least every single day (or even many times during the day). Btw, WordPress did a good update (or the Jetpack app that runs it) I am able to scroll through the message I am replying to for reference, at the same time I am replying. This makes writing back much, much easier! Yay! They did it right 🙂
There’s a lot to look forward to, and anything that’s chaotic and tumultuous, we will work through, together.
Sending so much love you way, back to you and increased 10-fold my beautiful friend! Xx
Yes sometimes WP can get things right LOL… And Enjoy your weekend Ka…
Many thanks and big hugs right back at you xx ❤
Wishing you, also, a great weekend, Sue! I can barely believe the week has come and gone already and of course, same with the whole month of March! Seems like we were ‘just’ celebrating the New Year! 😁
Yes TIME is speeding as our conception of this realities Matrix is also crumbling 🙂 ALL good… Exciting while challenging. But always envisioning that brighter future in harmonies balance 🙂
Much love returned xx ❤
Well Said, Sue! I think there are people who don’t really realize the crumble though. They don’t even see how unrecognizable things will become to old versions of ourselves! You worded it sooo well! The harmonies will balance, without a doubt! 💕💕💕💕🌱🌱💎🥰🪶🪽🦋🐣
We have an advantage, which is why we are holding space for balance and harmony to evolve.. We see it… others have yet to realise it is possible. But first they have to discover both aspects within themselves… Not all will master it.. But ALL will progress at their own pace.. ❤ Love and Hugs Ka… xx ❤
Yes I agree with you, completely. 🤗🥰❤️🌱
✨️💕✨️
Let the magic of the day fill your heart and mind my divine friend. Thankfully enjoying our close connections kept throughout this portal. My deep love to you and your family.
I had a wonderful Mothers Day today Ka…. Thank you so very much, I hope your weekend was also wonderful xx ❤
Oh fantastic! I didn’t realize it was Mother’s Day in the UK! How wonderful 💝 🎀 Yes, it’s been a wonderful weekend. A good day to rest and take it easy, too. Hugs 🤗
Skate away, my ice princess. I read your post without taking my eyes off even for a second. So engrossing and so engaging and so so interesting. Love that your little one is doing so well .. like mum like daughter 😍.. so happy reading your post. Almost like you were talking to me .. a very conversational post .. you connect one on one .. every reader is special and feels that bond and interaction with you. Thanks for sharing !
I’m relieved to see you, my soul sibling, Yassy! I am also looking for more poems from your gorgeous poetic pen. 🖊️ thank you 🙏🏻 so much for your kind feedback about my writing. I do want to improve my writing and really want to reach my readers, individually. It’s a goal of mind to connect and help enhance my readers’ lives in any way that life/Spirit/happenstance/energy will allow me “in” to do! I love my bond with you. It’s precious and it’s made by our exchanges and also when I read your blog and get access to your genius. 💗🦄🧠🧐🫂🤗
So love that you got roller skates and are enjoying yourself with them. I used to roller skate a lot…it was a favorite thing of mine. What a wonderful way to move energy and have fun and flow. Good for you! It’s so awesome also to see your daughter enjoying life, creating and excelling in her karate! I love her artistic expression…and that unicorn is so cute!!
Thank you for sharing your inspirations and the down to earth way you do so. I know you have a lot in your world, so it’s a gift to receive from you, and amazing you get so much out in such a short time.
Sending warm wishes for the eclipse energies and how it ignites your life in new ways. Big love sweet soul sister!
Hi Tania, I remember writing you a reply so I’m surprised I don’t see it here! Yes, soul sister we are in the moment of walking through the portal of the great rebirth. I feel it in my bones.
You can imagine how delighted I was to hear and know that you have also enjoyed rollerskating. It’s such a great way to feel free and unencumbered in a balanced state. Brings out my inner child, for sure! I also thought it was a great metaphor for how we want to be in our bodies… free flowing.
Yes, my darling girl is my diamond growing/glowing heart. Watching her become who she is fascinates me and gives me a decently busy and demanding schedule as well. My daughter is a ‘force’ of nature in so many ways. She’s also part bunny and part kitty. I think you know that, though. lol Big big hug, Tania 🙂
‘How can you motivate yourself this Spring to be with the energy of Aries and also let go of the whole part about the future and all the unknowns?’ This sums up perfectly the energy we are currently in Ka. 👏A daily practice to balance and align with the universal flow and abundance. Happy skating through it all 💞🥰💞
Yes, it is so much a daily practice. I have 5 different quadrants of my life that I express gratitude within each morning of my life. Usually it’s the natural: I’m awake “yes, another day!” Sometimes I do really wake this cheery. Even if I had weird dreams. But I’ll skate through that too 🤣🥕
I’m following the carrot of peace…. ✌️
But I also have a deliberate method with my gratitude in the mornings. Lately I’ve been using music to motivate my daughter in morning. 💕🌱
Is your winter coming in now?
Karen, thank you so much for really hearing my message! ⭐️ 💫
Thank you for being here! 💗🙏🏻🪶
your daughter is amazing! And growing up so fast! I love the purple skates. Lots of purple popping up in the flowers here. Working in the yard today was my motivation that helps me forget about the uncertainties of the world. Your post is awesome. Reminds me a little of stream of consciousness. 🙂
Thank you, my friend! I think she absolutely surprised herself, and surprised us! That was not an easy challenge to go up by yourself in front of judges and do your karate forms. Also, she did the flag sparring and fortunately only with her age group and proper matches. I get nervous at practice sometimes because she has boys to “flag spar” with. This is how they “capture” the flags on the belt of the others. So there’s a lot of fast footwork and keeping themselves in the circle and following the rules of engagement.
Thank you for being here, JoAnna. I love your yard! 🙂 It’s a magical place to be for JoAnna of the forest. I am delighted that you have it, and also that you share it with us!
Thanks for explaining flag sparring – it sounds exciting, fast, and not easy. I can imagine feeling nervous and proud at the same time. And thank you for your lovely comment about our magical place. Sometimes I still miss the old neighborhood, but all the benefits of this rural neighborhood are well worth the move. We’ve been planting vegetables as we enjoy the flowers . Happy to share and so glad you enjoy the magic. 🙂
Love the new skates, purple!!!💜 Your daughter is very talented like her mom! And thank you for mentioning the photo location thing, I need to pay attention to that stuff!😉
Thanks, Tiffany! I had to get the skates that also felt the most comfortable, but purple is my lifetime primary favorite color so you could say for sure that I got lucky 🍀 . Love all the colors though.. I have some nice laces to put on that are silver and multi-colorful. Thanks for your kind words. My little one 1️⃣ is a force of nature. I learn so much by being her parent! Oh my! 🙂💎
Yes, definitely protect your privacy with removing the location on those photos. You are welcome. 🙏🏻. I hope your project is coming along great!
Gentle hugs, Tania!! 🥰🪶🌱
🛼 it’s wonderful to know that you have very much enjoyed roller skating. It’s that feeling of effortless exercise and I bet you knew all the moves! I’m just starting to get reacquainted with myself again on skates but it’s very liberating!
Yes my daughter is fun to synergize with. I just want to do “everything” with her that she’s interested in doing. She’s often wow-ing me. Recently she’s wow-ing me by just “listening to me” more, lol. Watching this beautiful heart grow and flourish is the most rewarding part of my life. She’s the one taking me for a ride! 🥕😁 🐇🐰 and as you probably know: she’s part bunny and part 🐈! 💕🤭😃
🤗
Peace is the only thing to follow! Yes it’s autumn here for us. The season change always brings in new beginnings 💞💞💞
I was explaining to my 5 year old daughter how life is unpredictable but there are certain patterns that repeat: like the seasons (and how that’s a key to being and getting into tune with ‘what is’). You are right about peace and I’m reflecting on your choice of word “to follow peace.” I love that, Karen 🧘♀️📿
