Just Keep on Shining Like you do.

Astrology, Art and Magic Nov 12 2024

Today, things are quiet. The dogs and cats are sleeping beside me, and Andrew has gone to get another blood test. He’s been feeling a little better since the new meds he’s taken have stoped the constant coughing from happening. Other things pop up and I try to avoid dwelling too much on the bad things that could happen.

Instead, inspired by my friend Diane Mason, I made some kidney friendly Chilly yesterday. (I had to drain and boil the beans and drain them again before using them, and I add a big ol’ eggplant to the mix). It was the perfect day for it. We had this explosion of sleet falling at one point, and I heard a nearby town had a tornado. Our poor chimney repair man was up on the roof, and I’m glad nothing happened to him.

I’ve been working very hard on not awfulizing, for my own mental health. Yeah, I know shit is bad, but I can’t dwell on it. I have to focus on fixing what I can rather than stressing about what could happen.

I read something really cool today:

“Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.
Their opinions aren’t your problem.
You stay kind, committed to love,
and free in your authenticity.
No matter what they do or say,
don’t you dare doubt your worth
or the beauty of your truth.
Just keep on shining like you do.”

―Scott Stabile

I’m going to hold on to this, for today.

ASTROLOGY:

MERCURY IN SAGITTARIUS SQUARES WITH SATURN IN PISCES: (continues till the 17th of November)

It’s hard to be grounded when Mercury is in Sagittarius, small things may seem huge, the journey is more important than the destination. There may be too many shinny distractions in the way. Saturn in Pisces asks for spiritual understanding it asks for commitment to a goal, it wants you to focus in on what it is that you need to accomplish and then let go and go with the flow. The key here is to take those visions, and the dreams and make them real. Listen to the muse, when it speaks it offers you a new creative project to embrace and work on.

MOON ENTERS INTO ARIES:

It’s time to be a little more emotionally assertive, to have courage, and conviction. To vibe with this energy, wear red, get your hair done, eat something spicy, and dab a little bit of peppermint oil on your clothing to zest things up.

Moon in Aries trines Mars in Leo, Mars represents our energy, our courage and our ability to be assertive, in the sign of Leo we are ready to put on our crown and fight with conviction to protect our home and family. We will have the conviction to level up, to challenge ourselves, to reach further.

Moon squares Venus in Capricorn: Pride could get in the way of a relationship. You may find that it’s hard to let go of a defensive stance today. The best way to utilize this energy is to prepare to sit down and discuss long term plans and goals.

MAGIC: VISION BOARD

Because, the moon is waxing, that’s why. So get out those scissors and create a vision board of things that you want to attract in your life. Use some environmentally friendly glitter, light a little candle beside it, and keep it near your ancestor altar, till the full moon, and then hide it until the moon is waxing again, repeat this until all the things on your vision board come true.
