Energy of the Day

Active self-promotion is the logical next step in starting a business, especially via written mediums, and our best results come from writing with the hopes and wishes of our families and friends in mind. The energy of the past and what comes forward with us from it informs the ideals we hold in our homes and the emotional cycles upon which we find reason to act in a material sense, although we feel blocked from doing so. Where we can't get done what we'd like to do, the next best course of action is to nurture who and what we can so that when the obstacles are removed we and they are stable and ready to move forward.

We're feeling pragmatic today, ready to let go of what keeps us off-balance and aware that our fortune and the fulfillment of our hopes and dreams lie at home with our family and friends. Tired of fighting the current and of trying to fix what's broken, we realize it's time to put our best faces forward, go with the flow, and focus on creative pleasures. Our hearts and backs, especially our spines, are vulnerable to over-exertion under this energy, and it's particularly important to follow their leads as we go about the day's business.

Our wisest move today as we wrap up this current cycle is to use the pause to take stock of where we are in our own lives, and of what we're doing with the people around us and the things we're creating that will affect their lives. Where we find ourselves dissatisfied this is the time to make changes without mercy, but only after taking as long as we need to contemplate all the potential consequences and rewards of what we're considering. The condition of our necks and throats guide us now in how, when, and with whom we communicate, and where we're held back from doing so a reevaluation of what we intended to say is in order.

We need patience now, and some alone time to meditate on how best to direct our energies within our homes and how we intend to nurture our own creativity; this will help calm our nerves and unblock our bowels as well. We'll do well to keep our opinions to ourselves at work here - it's difficult to get things across the way we'd like - but it's a good day for considering the things we're drawn to but feel better without and how they affect us in our wider community. Communication with our friends and loved ones is also somewhat fractious today, but making the effort to share our dreams brings an opportunity to strengthen our partnerships.

Logic, reason, and an honest sense of our material realities create a desire to behave frugally today, which facilitates career success and enhances our reputations. Thoughtful communication of our spiritual sensibilities reignites pleasure in our relationships and allows us to feel safe when things get sexy, although here again our bones, joints, and knees will appreciate our consideration if we decide to get a little wild. Work undertaken with the desire to contribute to the whole serves now to underscore our sense of self and enhance our understanding of our place in the wider world.

Expansion and fruitfulness in our careers today depend entirely upon a disciplined approach toward dismantling and rebuilding relationships that have begun to drain our resources. We feel blocked from moving forward under this energy, but carefully constructed written communications allow us to improve our public standing and enhance our reputations. Applied motivational energy creates growth in our partnerships now, but where this involves physical (particularly sexual) activity we need to avoid too much strain on our bones and joints, especially our knees.

Energy of the Week

Image
Public improvements in our material well-being are best made this week by taking transformative but well-considered actions intended to make the most of what our spouses or significant others have brought to our lives. Our careers and our financial stability depend upon keeping our physical choices in line with our desired evolutionary directions and bringing the two together when it seems they're worlds apart. Headaches and bumps on the head are to be expected under this energy, and will remind us when we forget that we must be true to ourselves if we want to do anything that's worthwhile for anyone else.

Energy of the Month

Image
Men, watch your backs this month - on a physical level especially your lower backs (and glutes and kidneys) - and take a balanced, just approach in dealing with your partners at home and at work; too much energy and things will blow up around you, too little and you'll find yourselves in a financial slump. For all of us, conflicts between getting ahead in our careers and the directions we want to take in our personal lives help us identify changes we can make to the way we nurture creativity to be more in line with our ideals. Legal matters are resolved most positively here by communicating clearly what we initially brought to the table and what actions we intend to take toward settlement.

June - from the 'Year at Robie Creek' series

Image
Originally published in the: Well, there’s been a little change of plans with the pond. We’ve decided to follow the wisdom of the fishes and just build it around the spot they like best already, which is much more conveniently located for humans than the other spot as well, but also much more prone to filling in with sand and silt. That can be dealt with without disrupting the workings of the creek, and the work we already did at the first location leaves us with a nice little shady sit-n-chat spot so no great loss. But speakin’ of ponds, let’s talk about duckweed. We can’t grow this little miracle plant on the natural waterway here, in part because it’s too fast-moving, in part because it wouldn’t be able to withstand the winter temps even via turions, and in part because there just aren’t enough nutrients in the water for it. What plants call nutrients, aquatic creatures and humans call pollution. Robie Creek has two water-quality issues: High oxygen levels and suspended p...
