I am sure some of you have noticed that I really have not written much in 2020. It has been a very strange year; I do not have to tell you. No matter where you live on Planet Earth, we have all been connected by a common thread and is has and is changing all of us. But now, the Sun has moved into Virgo and we are all going to get grounded and the energy is going to shift. A sigh of relief is on its way.
I keep looking back on my old videos and articles about the Astrology over the past few years and the predictions that I have made of upcoming and expected energies and themes and although no one could have predicted a pandemic, outside of the the scientists that work in those fields; history should have warned us that a pandemic was inevitable. It doesn’t help that these same scientists play, toy and manipulate these germs and diseases and something like this is bound to happen. However, I had been saying for nearly two years that I saw that we would be spending more time at home and with our families; I just could not fully see how that would play out. Each time that I saw these Cancer/Capricorn oppositions and aspects, I dreamed of more time at home, I hoped to be working from the comfort and coziness of my safe haven and with my beloved animals. Did I manifest this in the world? Did I wish and dream so grandly during the New and Full Moons that I made my wishes come true? It has crossed my mind, but I could not possibly be the only one that longed for no commute, a later wake up time, not having to “get ready”; dressed head to toe, hair done and make up. No office politics and conflicts with people, limited conversations and more ME time. I do not want it to end, honestly. The biggest pain in the ass has to be the wearing of the mask, inability to see people that I really care about, low to no stock at the grocery stores; I really miss Lysol Spray. I periodically check the store aisles for my favorite items and still, to no avail, many items are still not in stock. Oh the coveted paper towels and toilet tissue. I have never hoarded, even when I had the chance or ability to and it makes me a little angry when other people wipes the shelves clean. Only minor inconveniences of being able to snug in my favorite chair and not to see the faces of those that I wouldn’t choose to befriend, but am forced to partner with under working conditions.
This pandemic has allowed me to expand creatively as an artist and brought me more joy than I have experienced in nearly a decade. I am more relaxed, my health is better and my skin looks great. I initially gained 12 pounds due to Covid comfort fooding. I was nurturing my March illness with yummy, homemade food, baked goods 24/7. I was trying to feel better. Once I emerged from my Covid Cocoon, I got my act together, cut out sugar and dairy, began drinking lemon water and as of today, have lost 19 pounds. I started working out again; push ups, Yoga, light weights and soon I will resume my long walks once the weather cools. I really feel fantastic. This pandemic is almost the full life I had been praying for. The only thing missing is a beautiful soul of a man to share in this bliss with me, but he is coming, I can feel it!
Now that the Sun has moved into Virgo, it is time for us to organize. Get the details of the coming Season in order. We are cleaning out closests and drawers, garages and attics. We are beginning our change of Season cleaning. Making to-do lists, getting health check-ups, revamping and viewing our daily routines and health regimes. What one thing can you do that may change your health for the better? Mine was eliminating sugar, dairy and adding the lemon water. This one little switch and poof 19 pounds gone! It sparked me to begin doing push ups, which has led to Yoga and weights, core work. Not all at once, but little by little. Little changes that made big impacts over time. We have time. Now, at least and some are sitting around waiting to be inspired. Let my 19 pounds inspire you. I will admit that I do have ice cream once or twice a week as my cheat day indulgence; so do not fear deprivation.
Now that Autumn is on its way here in North America, I am feeling the need to get back into more channeling. The Sun in Virgo inspires me to connect with the Earth. I will be turning over the vegetable gardens and preparing for some Fall crops. Weeding, trimming back and pruning; they are the themes of this energy. The Astrology is quite literal. Get out in to the Earth and dig deep and connect with Spirit at the same time. I am preparing the year end Astrology as the coming months will see the ending of some of this crazy energy and the shift into new planetary energy. A welcomed relief is on the way. I cannot wait for the change in the Season where I will be writing more Animal Totem and Astrology articles once again.
In addition to the need to organize, sort and toss during Virgo Season, I will be working on some minor home improvements such as painting and preparing the landscape and exterior for Winter; yes Winter is coming. Now is a great time to at least make a check list of all the Autumn repairs that need to be taken care of. We are all spending more time at home, best to make the best of it and not waste this precious time. Time that can be spent with family and in or around the home. Coming back to a simpler time. Most of all, learning how to enjoy it.
Much of this upcoming time we will be basking in a Grand Trine in Earth; a grounded triple threat. Get out into nature. Dispel any negative energy through the Earth. Take your shoes off. Let your feet get dirty. Soak in the warm sun. Enjoy this time. We may never get this chance again.
