Moving at the Speed of Lite

I don’t know what to make of 2015 so far. My Sun is now in the 1st house, yet I did not feel the usual Ascendant return bounce. My body is ailing and I am just going with the flow, letting it ride.

Time Warp

Time speeds up, then it slows down. The slowdown is not the kind you notice in the middle of a boring staff meeting or while sitting in traffic. It is when time appears to stop and you wonder if perhaps your clock needs a new battery? It has become commonplace for me to look at the clock and say ” How can it still be 2:00 PM? It seems so much later.” This is kinda new to me, not like the sensation of the years quickly racing by. I have acclimated to that by now. This experience is unique. Sometimes I enjoy it and sometimes it freaks me out a bit. Anyone else have this happen to them lately?

I Get So Emotional Baby Every Time I Think of You

I am releasing emotions in a way that seems to be healing. Waves of sadness wash over me and occasionally the inner observer will appear and watch it all unfold. I have been thinking about Whitney Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina. Reflecting on how astrology can assist me in predicting probable outcomes I rather not see. When I first discovered Whitney was a Pisces Rising years ago, I thought to myself ” problems with addiction.” Yet when I watched her interview on TV, this young Whitney seemed so confident and in charge ( Leo Sun, Aries Moon). I am not saying that one particular chart placement causes a definite outcome. When someone becomes so famous so quickly, they are more susceptible to negative outside influences. Frankly I think I just had an intuition about her.

When I saw Bobbi Kristina with her parents on a televised performance, I looked at her intensely  for some time. I asked myself ” What will become of her, who is raising her?” This is before news of Whitney’s addiction became public knowledge,  So here we are and this poor young woman is in a coma 3 years after the tragic loss of her mother. It is fascinating to see that both Whitney and Bobbi had Chiron conjunct each other’s Sun. This double Chiron whammy may help shed some light on their relationship and why I wondered who was raising her.

I was listening to Whitney perform ” Didn’t We Almost Have It All” tonight and thought about many things at once. I thought about how one of my favorite singers once had it all and she lost it. I thought about how I lost so much over the past few years and don’t know what is in front of me. Mostly I remembered first hearing the line ” A moment in the soul can last forever.” I was intensely in love at the time , and also knew the relationship was not going to last very long. But it would live in my soul forever. Forever is a long time!

So here I am wailing away on my couch, knowing that most of this emotion has nothing to do with anything I listed. It is all about this moment. Dexter slowly gets up from his corner, saunters up to me and jumps on my lap and climbs up on me. I felt his love and marveled at the exquisite timing of this moment. What a blessing he is, that Dexter.

Chicken And the Egg

Dreams are popping off the charts with rich meaning in some novel ways. Tons of creature dreams: owls are making a decent showing, along with squirrels and more. I also recently dreamed I went to a healer who had a huge butterfly on her office wall and it was in motion. The header and post images are paintings that match the bounty of nature in all aspects of my consciousness.

The art of cooking has become therapeutic for me lately and the end products are really good. Since I am not a good cook typically, I am in awe when a few simple ingredients come out so delicious and bright. Speaking of food, I have become obsessed with eggs. Cooking them different ways, noticing oddities in the yolks, even dreaming about them. Eggs are about life and promise.

Action is Evident ” Backstage”

There is an enormity of movement within the confines of stagnation. The big picture seems so far away and I am letting my job search go for a few months. I just need a break. Yet I have been blessed with some new astrology clients and when I conduct the sessions, I am thrilled to be in that moment. I feel so lucky to be able to work this way with people and offer them some new insights into their life journeys. I also marvel at how great new people show up out of nowhere. Some readers may recall that I have an interest in genealogy. I have done some preliminary research but have not made much headway. Well a few evenings ago I met with a genealogist and we are bartering genealogy research for an astrology consult. We met at a party of a mutual friend and made a nice connection. While sitting with her at the meeting, I thought to myself, how exciting it is when my desires come to fruition without me even trying. I will keep you updated on my progress, but I expect this research will be a lengthy project.

While this post is a bit all over the place, there is a solidifying theme: within the stagnation, much is at work behind the scenes ( Mercury retrograde in my 12th house). Most of the symbols in waking and dream time are elusive, but a few are beginning to provide some clues. I am now noticing 222, 333, and 444 regularly with the occasional 555, 666, and 777 ( jackpot!).  My meditations have been interesting as well and I plan to post some art I am creating in a later post that will illustrate a rather memorable inner adventure.

Is is possible that the Universe is conspiring in everyone’s favor even when we may appear to be restricted or confined? Could it be that we are being slowed down so we can integrate and assimilate more of the new experiences that are being introduced through the new energies?

  3. Hello Linda! I am so glad to come back in your warm and tender hug. I missed you very much when I had been in 70 days journey around different planet :-). You know time was compressed and warped and I was wrapping in the cocoon. I will share with you my experience.
    I adore your energy your world is producing. As always I am surprised by synchronization of our thoughts. Yes, transforming way, sometimes, is hard and even painful but we are together. And you are my little sis.
    Hugs!

    1. It is always wonderful to see you here and feel your kind and warm energy. While life has been quite sad and painful lately, I strive to expand my perspective so I can appreciate more of this Earth experience. I am curious about your 70 day adventure and hope to catch up soon.

      Hugs, Linda

  8. I have found on my own path that whenever I am in a “holding” pattern, the Universe is preparing me for my next assignment. I have learned to enjoy the stillness before movement, and to be open to wherever it takes me. Thanks Linda for sharing your journey…I always enjoy reading your posts and finding those little nuggets of wisdom within the writing.

    1. Hi Bev,
      It is always encouraging to know that I am not alone here. While the past few years have appeared to be quite slow in pace on the surface, I am learning so much about the ever changing face of me and have really improved my life in so many ways. Still…
      Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoy your blog as well and am grateful to have like minded souls like you in my circle.

  9. Hi Linda!
    I’m completely with you on the ‘time warp.’ Oh my! You really have written much in this post that I feel like I’ve needed to re-read it really absorb what you are writing. This post is rich with experience and tender moments of reflection. I appreciate what you are going through with the transits – and I believe (no matter how much I also may doubt) that the universe is conspiring in all of our favors regardless of appearances that contradict it. The number ‘444’ as well as a few others have been significant for me throughout the years, but 444 has been more prominent within the last several months. 33 is a constant, as we have previously discussed.

    As far as synchronicity goes, I’m *still jazzed* about the fact that we exchanged owl cards. (We both had that same idea! and… <3… 🙂
    xxKa

    P.S. Props to Dexter for finding a good home with you.

    1. Dear Ka,
      Thanks for the kind words. So much is happening with me internally. I have noticed that a few of my latest posts are quite lengthy and have multiple topics with subthemes attached to them. Sometimes I prefer to describe everything rather than write shorted discrete posts 🙂

      I have been thinking about Aquarius deeply and you as well, with my our shared ascendant. Mercury in Aquarius in the 12th is not pleasant at all. It is like when Uranus transited our 12th, so much electricity!

      Funny I never knew that we separately chose the owls. I figured you received my card and decided to respond in kind with another Owl. How synchronous that we had the same idea! I love love love it ❤ ❤ ❤
      This to me is what love is: about, the harmony of the collective expressed in our separate human forms.

      Dexter is also a gift that the Divine offered me with love. Happy that loves surrounds you and that your partnership is blessed and precious.

      so glad we are friends,
      xoxo Linda

  10. Linda, such a full post full of insights and you touched upon many things I can share in common with you..
    First the eggs.. I had not thought on it until you mentioned cooking with eggs.. For the last week I have been having a hard-boiled egg salad for lunch.. 🙂
    My dreams have also had animals.. Mice, rats, although not in a frightening way.. I have also dreamt of past work colleagues in work situations going way back in the past.. So lots of past issues being revisited, not surprising.. and I can so relate to the numbers sequences..

    You know I am wishing you well Linda.. I Know this road of transition can be frustrating.. Time for me is speeding…. like weeks are flying…

    I will catch up over the weekend with more of your back dated posts Linda.. Its 11pm here and I am now off to get some sleep..
    Much love my dear friend.. Sue xox

    1. Dear Sue,
      Only recently have I been preparing egg salad! I now crave it, after not making it for years! How odd is this? I also love deviled eggs, but am not very skilled at making them correctly.

      I think we will all have some relief come April, after the final Pluto Uranus square. The upheaval of the 1960s has revisited since 2011 or so, and will reach its crescendo shortly. We have the 1960s themes in the 2010s consciousness, a recipe for confusion, sadness, exhilaration, chaos, violence, ecstasy, and intense change.

      You are so strong and will come out even stronger and more complete in your higher expression of yourself.

      Sleep well and peacefully,

      xoxo Linda

  11. A soulful musing, Linda. I know we exchanged a comment or two in the 2014 In Review posts/comments about the cycles of loss, but again, I’m sorry for your losses. Maybe because it was such a huge ‘purge and purification’ cycle, but I found, too, that it was followed by a period or cycle of what seemed stagnation and it sure felt that way, too.

    Very frustrating, no matter how much we try to ‘take the high road’ and ‘take it in stride’. It finally seemed — maybe with Neptune in Pisces and the Chiron in Pisces return — that it was an exercise in learning to love or appreciate the fallow time. Easier said that done given our ‘training’ in this culture, eh?

    An older book just came to me yesterday that includes some nuggets on these very reflections and experiences, so maybe I’ll pass a few along (I’ve just started reading it).

    Until then, yes yes yes — all hail the wonderful gift of the Feline! Blessings to you and Dexter from me, Luna and the Baby Cat! 🙂 ~ Jamie

    1. Thank you Jamie for your heartfelt comments here. As Pluto hits my natal Saturn and gets closer to my 12th house cusp I expect the purging and releasing of what I am no longer in alignment with will continue. However I can say this has been a very long cycle with Neptune just recently closing its square of my MC/IC axis. mindfulness and meditation and surrender do help somewhat. Tell me about he book, you piqued my curiosity!

      love to you, Luna and baby cat ❤

  13. OMG! lol Here we go with our synchronicity again. I have just been working on a Power Point presentation for a Creation Myth for my Mythology class…….”The Creation from the Egg,” from the Brahma Sutras. Uncanny isn’t it. 😉

    Sad about Whitney and Bobbi Kristina. ❤

  14. Dear Linda,

    I do love this and it resonates with me as well:

    “There is an enormity of movement within the confines of stagnation.”

    Cats are my heroes. I can’t imagine life without their presence and love.

    Peace to you!

    1. Hi Deb,
      Glad you approve, lol! I also wonder if there is some stagnation within apparent movement? So much happens that we miss. I cannot expect to notice everything in my direct path, but mindfulness, dreamwork and meditation help, in addition to inspiration online. Cats are so crucial to my existence and I am so grateful to have discovered their unique magic relatively early in life.

      peace and cosmic hugs,
      Linda

  15. I find that when I feel stagnated or in limbo, something is growing inside, like being pregnant with a thought, idea , major project or life change. I have learned to trust that.

    1. I have had the same experience during certain periods in life. I do feel this way now, but not as strongly as the fears and doubts creep in. Trust is so important.
      Thank you for adding your insights to the mix.

  16. Your writing is so mindful again, I enjoyed. Purr to Dexter. 🙂

    Maybe when there comes more space, understanding of and via that positive channels for Piscean/Neptunian sensitivity in the world…, it need not be related to addictions that much anymore (and it still is about choosing). I´ve been seeing good articles in the mainstream media about sensitivity recently (and compassion), maybe due to that there´s so much stuff in Pisces now.

    I replied “yes!” in my mind to your questions at the end of the post.

    Wishing you a liteful Sunday. 🙂

    1. Hi Deelia,
      thanks for your lovely commentary. Always a treat to hear from you! Mindfulness is one of my favorite activities lately. It is not just a construct to me, I use it daily and it rarely fails to anchor me in NOW 🙂 I love all the Pisces but my S Node is there and I can fall into victim martyr consciousness if I don’t pay attention to my thoughts and environment. In my experience, those who are prone to addiction, in addiction, or in recovery are some of the most sensitive and real among us. Like so much in 3D, duality is at play. Have a liteful day too 😉
