time is the means ..... part I

"Furthering" is the I Ching principle

(one of the meanings of the I in I Ching is "the easy")

of the innately beneficial nature of the Source that nourishes and protects all of us.

Put another way - we can trust that life has our back.

(I am finding it comfortable and comforting to call this source the Creative these days - maybe you will like this word, too, if not just use what you are comfortable with)

Furthering is about stages of development and the vehicle that powers this process is time. Because time is the vehicle - patience, trust (thanks Lynn) and perseverance are necessary.

NEW Moon in Aquarius/Pisces Tonight - well begun is half done

Tonight's New Moon is a bit of a question mark with some astrologers calling it an Aquarius New Moon and others calling it a Pisces New Moon.

It's in the very last degree of Aquarius and moves into Pisces within a couple minutes, so it's either the 2nd Aquarius New Moon this year or the 5th zero degree New Moon in a row!

Either way with Aries coming home to Mars tomorrow it's very potent and an excellent time to clear our heads and set some intentions.

NEW MOON Ramp Up to BIG Energy SHIFT | Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Week of February 16th

The Moon starts the week in its Balsamic Phase - this supports reflecting and finishing up.

With the Moon conjunct Pluto in Capricorn it will be easy to get caught up in the feeling that busy-ness is needed for our business now.

This isn't true.

Remember our dreams are birthed and given flight from moments of our best selves.

We can't be our best (whole) selves when our thoughts are splintered by nonstop pulls on our attention and our actions are all over the place. We need to center ourselves. We can slow this whole show down. We don't need anyone else's permission to do it

how "we are in business to make a profit" is like living to eat ...

the crooked nook 1

Hearing "we are in business to make a profit" usually makes me want to retch

(and I have done some serious retching this winter - trust me, it ain't pretty people although on the plus side I still sound a little bit like Demi Moore)

in fact it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

(yes, it's going to be one of those posts)

This is not the same as saying "to stay in business we must make a profit" which is quite obvious and makes the profit a necessity rather than a goal.

Think of profit like food. 

We need food to survive, but we are not surviving so we can eat .. I hope.
