The month of May is often when energies shifts and changes in my life happens. It was May 1998 when I went on my first ever trip to America, and it was May last year when I went on my 2nd trip to America. Today was Samhain, one of the most significant holidays on the Pagan calendar, it is often referred to as the witch's new year. It represents the start of winter, and is the time when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest, that is, the veil between this current dimension and the higher dimensions. So we usually see more ghosts and have more visitations from spirit entities, and when we honor the departed souls who are now on the other side. Last night was Samhain Eve, and this was when we do rituals, light candles, and welcome in our spirit entities - my four Goddess spirits and various other spirit entities. So I basically spent last night celebrating Samhain. May 1st is the traditional date of Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere, and the celestial date of Samhain is May 5, this is the exact halfway point between Mabon the Autumn Equinox and Yule the Winter Solstice.
So with this Samhain week in mind, here is this week's card readings......
My cards for this week of Samhain and Mercury turning direct.....
-Queen of Pentacles - Determination - A person of intense determination and goal orientated, willing to help anyone she considers worthy of her investment. Facing a determined, realistic, capable woman. She demands a sense of responsibility.
-8 of Wands - Position - Knowing what is wanted and what is needed to achieve it. Making meticulous but effective plan. Things will happen quickly.
-17 - What Is Already With You - What I seek is already in my hands. The classic case of the spectacles spent so much time searching for being actually on your head!! Already having all that is needed to take the next step towards fulfilling one's calling. More ready, more prepared than is realised.
Summary - What a draw for the week when Mercury turns direct, the week of Samhain with traditional Samhain falling on Monday and celestial Samhain on Friday.
The first card is probably refer to the divine feminine in me though it could refer to an actual woman even if it seems unlikely due to current circumstances. As it is said never discount anything, but is more likely the feminine side of me. The need to face up to responsibilities as Mercury turns direct. Making meticulous plans as the very Virgoan second card highlights, the plans to help fulfil my callings and goals.
The Oracle reminds me I already have what I need to take the next step towards my callings and goals. This is true. I already know the fees associated with my visits to the Heart Specialist this week and how much I will get back on the insurance scheme. I also have the bill for my car license renewal. So in theory I should already know of the impact on my savings plans for my Peru trip after getting through this month of May. Once Mercury turns direct on Tuesday I could at least start laying the groundworks to actually plan for my trip and dealing with other matters such as investigating getting a new phone on a new plan since my current and very expensive contract ends this May.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
OK my annual visits to the Heart Specialist this week. This could very well define my upcoming Peru trip in October......
Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be the Stress Test. Basically you get hooked up to machines that monitors your heart, etc, and you go on a treadmill where you keep on walking, and they up the speed every three minutes until you either about to drop dead or reach the point of maximum activity without being out of breath. Being a very fit little creature who walks over an hour each day, up to three hours on weekends, and put a lot of energy into my ecstatic dancing, I expect no issues to be raised with this test. The biggest "stress" would be the COST, or more specifically, the gap price after the Medicare rebate!! This and the impact it will have on my Peru savings plan.
Well I know how much the cost will be for tomorrow's visit, and I should still be in front on my savings plan. However, there is a potential for a "false negative" to come up in the test results. If there is a negative then a further and more elaborate, read MORE EXPENSIVE test will be scheduled. Due to me being fit and generally healthy, at least physically, I don't expect any "negative". But there is still the potential for a "false negative" which can occur under some circumstances, that is, the machine may come up with a "negative" even if everything is OK. But just to cover their arses and get more money out of me, a "false negative" will also trigger necessity for the further and more elaborate test!!! Should this occur, this will seriously impact on the economic viability of my Peru trip, meaning, I will have to make do with doing less on the trip.
Thursday is I assume when I learn of the test results, for this Thursday will be my followup appointment being the consultation with the Heart Specialist, also expensive but not as expensive as the Stress Test. So this will be an expensive week, but provided I won't need any further tests, my savings plan should still enjoy a forward momentum albeit quite a bit less forward than I would like. Nevertheless forward is a lot better than backwards.
Then this Friday I will do the Venus ritual as given in the link below.......
VENUS RITUAL
I will explain below..........
The Venus Ritual
This ritual I have performed back during the Taurus Moon cycle, that is the lunar month beginning the Taurus New Moon, back in 2015, and it did work even if it ended up catastrophically. I began the ritual on a Friday though the release into the stream was performed the next day being Saturday. I needed to drive about an hour south to find a flowing stream as it was dry in Perth, being just after our usually dry summer there were no flowing streams in Perth. So once I reached the stream to the south I searched for a suitable spot. Much of the area was closed due to bushfire so it took me a while to find a spot, but persistence paid off.
Then I released the bread only for it to be stuck in a whirlpool among some rocks. So I threw stones at it until I could get it to move on into a water flow. It took me a while to achieve this, and the bread broke up into a couple of pieces. Both pieces finally managed to make it past the rocky area and I watched as it flowed down into the main part of the stream until it disappeared around a bend.
The wish I had placed in the bread was that I'd find a romantic partner or soulmate, and this did in fact happened in December that year even if it ended catastrophically. It was with the New Zealand woman, and it was wonderful while it lasted..... until she dumped me. The silver lining however was the Convergence festival which ultimately inspired me to my callings on this planet.
The romance ended catastrophically because it was not to be my pathway in this life. I had a calling in life and it required me to be footloose and fancy free. This was probably symbolized by when the bread got stuck in the whirlpool and it splitting into two - the romance was blocked and it split into two, I no longer have contact with the lady.
I didn't perform the ritual last year in 2016 because this time last year I was just about to leave for my most memorable trip to America.
This time I will perform this ritual. We are currently in the Taurus lunar cycle, and the ritual is planned for next Friday/Saturday which will involve the 1-hour drive south to the stream. The Moon will still be in the waxing phase, what I feel to be the best times to perform these wish fulfilment rituals. And it will be after Mercury's retrograde!!!
I won't reveal the wishes I intend to place in the bread but it will NOT include any romance!!!! It will be mostly related to my calling in life - that is all I am saying for now.
Meanwhile I will need to get a suitable piece of bread and some honey from the store, this I will do next week after my Heart Specialist appointment. It happens I already have a 5c coin, the last 5c coin I have!! Of course I always have candles.
The "honoring Venus" part will, as was last time, revolve mainly around food. This time I will spend that Friday evening at home and order a more expensive pizza that I don't usually get, I usually get the "value" pizzas when I get my pizza. This time am going to invest extra money into a premium pizza, and some chocolate lava cake which I also usually don't get. Then the next morning prior to my road trip south to the stream I will treat myself to a delicious breakfast, most probably from that bakery from Heaven, or another shop if I find it.
I guess being Samhain it was probably why we jumped into a parallel universe, a universe where the Magpies actually wins matches...... this I will address in a football blog sometimes this week......
Meanwhile........ time a laugh at my quirky sense of humor......
Workplace information priorities....... ;)
What always happens to me when I go to the supermarket, I always seem to choose the trolley with the one wheel that doesn't work!!!!!!
How Virgos "makes" friends........
A day in the life of a frustrated Virgo........ !!!!
Now there are just some things a Virgo would never be involved with..... hehe.....
