MidWeek Observations...

Tuesday into Wednesday... as night approaches the snowstorm begins to quicken and large fluffy flakes spin merrily outside my office window. I've turned on the floodlights in the front yard so as to better watch the Winter magic and, for the last few hours, randomly look outside to observe the clipper's progress. Gusting winds make the night intimidating for the traveler, but here in my nest I feel secure and gifted by Spirit, the warmth and isolation an inspiration to contemplate making a warming pot of soup.

Marty's buddy, Sid, the Buddha in the back yard, stoically meditates on his perch overlooking my small pond where the pouisson rouge frolic in heated bliss and snowflakes dissolve into 40 degree waters. Technology... what wonders we're able to experience at this place in time!

Playful thoughts skip across the surface of my mind. Thoughts like... could the number of snowflakes in a Wisconsin blizzard equal the number of stars in the Milky Way? Both sets of bright swirling points of light seem infinite by design, a product of the eternal nature of that Infinite Mind that's source and master of ManKind. And what of the orchestrated dance of the Sun and it's planets? If one knew how to read their movement in greater depth might one be able to anticipate the place where each snowflake lands... or every grain of sand along the ever-shifting ocean's edge might find it's home? The luxury of being able to cultivate an imagination amidst the rigors of survival... again, what wondrous times surround us.

Ruminations on the wheel: The Sun in Sagittarius begins to challenge Uranus in Pisces, bringing fire to water ~ perhaps an unexpected boil? Be wary, gardeners, of heated emotions, both fire and water are temperamental elements. The Moon opposes Uranus, adding hidden feelings and secret desire to the stew. Mars still advances to oppose the stellium in Aquarius; those whose calling is to protect & serve should ready in alert while those who serve on foreign soil must pause to identify the foe. Mercury and volcanic Pluto also feel the tension in their cux to mighty Mars... nightvision here should be the theme.

Gentle Venus hesitates between the forces all around her, a moment spent on grassy glade near still waters, cool and clear. The mystery of the Night is revealed with coming dawn... await the solstice before forcing changes, dear Gardeners... planted seeds need longer days to grow.

Embrace this Wednesday and share the Love, my fellow souls. After the storm has calmed we all are found to be secure!

Blessings from the depths of Neptune's aquatic world

How merry are the Lights of Christmas!

I feel the magic in the air and the alchemy at play between the planets as I read this....yes, whether winter or summer, depending on where you are - there are emotions of hotspots rising and falling like those on the sun, especially for those with Sun or Rising in Sagittarius.....I knew there was a reason effecting those around me....ah, but there will come a still...a quiet to reflect on these sunburst behaviours and all will settle and bring new thoughts of change....what crops will the harvest of these planted seeds bring, I wonder?

Your home looks beautiful decorated in pristine white snowflakes, and your christmas lights are as merry as you and your descriptive writing!

May the season be jolly with warmth and laughter and good tidings to you and your kin!

Wabun xo : )

Comment by Anahata R. Broen on December 9, 2009 at 1:13pm: Im with Annette.. Can we party at your pad? ;) I love your thought process and the way you write. Its very poetic! Being ruled by Venus, I am def. sitting back and reflecting right now.. Waiting... for the right time to fully emerge. Self limiting thoughts are holding me back. Its my old psyche trying to hold my new psyche down but just like the snow that encases the cold trees, that force will soon melt away and I will bear beautiful flowers and fruit as long as I believe in my ability. Thanks for helping me recognize that. xoxo

Much Love,
Anahata <3

Comment by Louanne Dukes on December 9, 2009 at 11:24am: Chris, Thank you once again for painting such a serene mental retreat with your articulate description. You inspire me, from your writing to your soulful joy! (the pictures are great also! *grin*) I hope Marty's fur coat is warm enough.. it looks mighty chillful out there. But then it was low 20s today here in the Sacramento Valley...all I have to say to that is.... "bburrrr" (someone on facebook called me a lizard... that pretty much sums up my feelings about the winter temperatures. =)... although we know it is a necessary element of the cycle...) Be Well Friend and thank you once again for being You! Love, Louanne
