Making Peace with things not going the way we wanted…
When life doesn’t bear fruit, when the seeds we planted died, when the shocks aren’t absorbed well and destruction happens and it takes more time to clean up our messes and spills. Take a look.
I pulled this card specifically for this blog post (for all of us.). This is the gift of the shadow, the previously unknown, and the unveiling of what’s been unsteady, misaligned, or simply not ready yet. This is the foundation that seeks ever more stability (Taurus), structure, support, embodied wisdom-always to balance with its opposite axis. The sign of Scorpio will show us where our weaknesses and vulnerabilities are. Alas, Scorpio is also known as the most resilient sign in the Zodiac. Compared to the Phoenix that rises up from the ashes, the Scorpio archetype is never blotted out, never dies, effectively goes beyond death (even unintentionally!).
In the midst of our grieving, we must dance atop our own destruction! The ego can be so very tricky. I don’t subscribe to there being anything ‘wrong’ with the ego, but it’s the part of us that breaks open and cracks like the outer hard hull, shell, or encasing.
When we break out, this is where we figure out what we are really made of. Who we are really, but the infinite as incarnate, carrying around skin and bones, and many temporary minds, for a relatively brief time?
I invite you to take this Full Moon, squaring Pluto in Aquarius, and liberate any discordant energy. Can it be with us? Can we allow it to be present? If not now, then when?

Thank you Ka, I totally embrace the death of the old. As I await the rebirthing of the present.
Much love ❤️ xx
It’s always so good to hear from you. I was thinking about you recently, so it’s equally wonderful for you to show up on this post…
We are so fortunate to be part of the solution, the revolution, and the new emerging 💞🔥field of consciousness unfolding…
Much love returned……
I think the bottom just fell out of my life’s ‘bag’ 🤗 Oh well, time to get a new one. Head up, find my hearts new path, and sing like a trooper. It has been building to this for some time and I couldn’t see what was coming. Mind you, if I did I might have run away…not that you can…and when I look back in hindsight I will probably be very glad of each and every step I’ve taken. Great post Ka, may our steps be light, our heart strong, and chocolates aplenty 🤗❤️🙏
You never hesitate to make me laugh, and I never hesitate to laugh. The bag dropped out. How did it go, ultimately? I bet you survived it… Haha, I try to run away all the time (I do tell on myself)… But you are correct, in my opinion: it’s always worth it all, in hindsight, (especially the part where we can’t really ever get away…). Thank you for that sweet blessing… light steps… strong heart… and yes i like that dark chocolate more and more these days ;)Blessings returned in kind, MarkYou never hesitate to make me laugh, and I never hesitate to laugh.

It is interesting when a long held belief is (very) nudged. That lovely foundation we’ve built, now has a crack in it and it seems to flow into the rest of what we are. So I had to go looking to understand it. Only understanding fills those holes, even if some things needs to be chiselled out on the way through. But that is their beauty, we are forced to face ourselves so that we can only understand this path we’re on, even if sometimes we take a few steps back. Even we need a rest occasionally. But the chocolate…ah the chocolate…its a filler too, even if only a temporary one 🤣❤️🙏
I enjoy your metaphor—esp the part about “that lovely foundation we’ve built… emphasis here: now has a crack in it and it seems to flow into the rest of what we are.”
Well said… and perhaps best is how we go about investigating and repair. It’s a process… and our foundation demonstrates its “temporary-ness.” Thanks, Mark… if it’s chocolate you enjoy…. Then purely enjoy. 🤣
The secret is indeed in that crack kind lady, and our journey will find something wonderful within it 🤗🤣❤️🙏
Loved this inspiration and the Colville quote. 🧡
So good to know, Debby! I am glad. Thank you for letting me know 🙂 Hugs!
Hugs xx
thank you for this beautiful scintillating post that makes for such exotic reading. Magical words from you 😘🤗
All your words are magical/magickal.. Your comments, your blog posts. Probably even your thoughts. Hugs dear one. Congrats on your publication you did with Simon. You inspire collaboration and its so wonderful dear SS.
Well, now, that comment on Scorpio… As a Virgo (just about; I seem to be at the point where the autumn Equinox tumbles into Libra) who is married to a Scorpio, now I see why she’s so persistent… 🤔😅
More seriously…
My focus, as you know, tends to be Hekate in spiritual imagery. Much of what you say seems to marry up with that path, the darkness of the crossroads, the uncertainty, the liminal place, the gate open for a time, but ready to slam shut and be locked behind me.
Why this life? Why as it is? These are questions I suspect we all face, at some point.
Plus the sense of what was lost along the way. Not just in this existence.
But what “was” has brought us here. And we would not be who and what we are if the experiences, for good or ill, were different.
I doubt our minds are quite so temporary. The dream that bore us will take us on, into the next realm of becoming. The same, but different.
And, maybe, that is the point. What do we learn to leave behind?
Oh, persistence is a gem. Yes, loss, not just in this existence…loss pervades space if you look at it that way…
We are who we are because of the unfolding of it all, yes.
I think it’s good to doubt the correctness of a temporary mind; however, I think we are playing a semantic game again with the word “mind,” then. I used it in an intricate way that I couldn’t unpack in this post (it was from my current Buddhist slant). Not intentionally a semantic game, but for lack of clear definition; über definitions can then that get mechanical and can be too strangling for the art to flow.
I’ll leave your last question as rhetorical. I was so pleased in my daughter’s development, she made her first rhetorical question this morning. Bless that child. Thanks for your comment and your thoughts, Simon. Sorry it took me so long to reply. Best wishes to you and yours! Have a great weekend.
Congratulations on watching your little one develop. May she bemuse you with many a rhetorical thought.
The weekend has involved a lot of decluttering and gardening so far. So much for my part time work pattern being a rest!!! Another joy of having a Scorpio wife – the sting in the tail! 😆
No worry about the time to reply. I’ll take it as a compliment and that I gave you something that needed to be mulled over… 😁 I may, of course, be misleading myself.
Have a good weekend also. And keep an eye on your daughter. I’m sure she has more with which to surprise you.
As we move beyond death and back into our authentic life again, it’s true, our heart will continue to hold our truth and the deep love that heals all wounds. Happy full moon 🌕 Ka beautiful post and reminder. 🌈🧡
This full moon landed for me. I felt at home again, finally. Maybe I ‘live’ in ‘death.’ 🙂 Thanks for being here, Karen! The authenticity brings a deep peace.
🙏🏻🌈🧡
