I’ve been feeling more tired than usual, maybe it’s the cold I was struggling with last week, or maybe it’s just life taking the wind out of my sails. I went to life drawing yesterday, and that was about all I could do. I had a hard time socializing. I’m sure I’ll bounce back, maybe I just need to take baby steps forward. Andrew put together an Ikea bed for downstairs, it’s for me when I get knee surgery this April. Luna, my 13 year old lab is needing to go to out during the night lately. So I let her out at 3am (no, the dogs didn’t bark) and test drove the new bed temporally situated in our dining room. It wasn’t bad, eventually this bed will go into our sunroom in the back. It will be a nice place to sleep during the hot summer nights. Today, I’m off to therapy, and later to singing lessons (another different form of therapy) and lastly, I have my virtual little poetry group on zoom. So, it’s another busy day. I hope to continue to work on my painting later. We just finished re-watching M.A.S.H a show from the 70’s and 80’s, the last episode hit me hard, again. I remember watching that episode with my dad, we had kind of a bonding moment I think. Both of us really loved that show. My dad and I didn’t talk much at all, but sometimes things got said in the silence.
Astrology Notes: The Moon continues it’s passage through Leo, so we are asked to be creative, outgoing and generous with our feelings, it trines with Chiron in Aries which makes it a great time to seek out healing from emotional wounds, through creative expression. The Moon also squares with Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus, so there is a temptation to go over the top with any addiction we may have when we feel insecure. Mars and Venus conjunct directly in Aquarius, inviting us to embrace our individuality through expressive action, and art.
Art: The Forest Witch. She walks through the woods with a purpose, she lives in a little cabin in the middle of the woods, she gathers herbs and mushrooms and hunts for her food. She lives alone, but doesn’t mind the solitude, the forest is good company.
So sorry to hear about your knee issues. I had both of mine replaced before I was 50.
You mention creativity in your forecast, I have been feeling the pull in that direction lately. I started a new knit shawl and am cooking more. Thank you for your insight!
Your painting is amazing! So much emotion in her face.
