8th July 2010

Wherever you are in the world, have a look to the west about an hour after sunset tonight and for the next two or three days.  You should see something quite spectacular, with Venus in the sky conjoining with Regulus, the brightest star in Leo and one of the four ancient royal stars of the Persians, at 29 degres of Leo.  Regulus is the royal star in terms of kingship, sometimes called Cor Leonis, the Lionheart.  Venus with Regulus in theory should bring a degree of opportunity and flambouyance, although the older text books speak of dissapointment and military failures.  But at the very least it will bring an interesting light show into the heavens, and I suspect the circlemakers will bring even more sybology of this conjunction into the fields.  Watch this space?

I'm so happy that people have been able to share the joy!!! We need more good news than we normally get! Thankyou for your kind words & I agree with all of you, especially 15.17. Before my accident, I was a classic 'glass half empty' pessimist who felt nothing but contempt for such a difficult life & guess what? All I got was more crap. After coming so close to death, I had a classic spiritual awakening & an instant understanding of the illusion of time/space & just how energy works. The whole deal in all its 5D glory. As SOON as I started feeling GRATEFUL for being alive instead of distraught at my horseriding career being over, the miracles started happening right there & then. The last year & a half has been like a movie & I hope one day that I can fully share my adventures with people in order to reassure them that the universe does know what it's doing & that there really is magic out there. The bad stuff has to happen otherwise how would we ever appreciate the good stuff? Also, the single biggest lesson I learnt was that if you've had a particularly rough life, your one of the lucky ones you get to learn all the lessons more quickly, therefore you get to the gratitude & all the fun stuff (unconditional love, trusting that it's all going to be ok, that joyous fizzy feeling you get when you're full of light & laughter)a whole lot quicker than those who've had it easy (& in my experience, don't appreciate what they have). I believe we are spiritual being having a human experience & not the other way round. Sorry to bang on, but you DO get back what you put in (maybe love instead of money or both) & if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. If any of this helps anyone, then that's all that matters. Lots of love, Sarah xx

I posted yesterday (Taurean, 40, in turmoil but trusting, trusting, trusting...) This morning I found out I'm getting a lump sum which will change my life & how I'm able to look at the future. I'm still in shock, but I just wanted to reassure everyone that miracles DO HAPPEN!!! I have always been grateful for everything good in my life (mostly people & events, not material stuff) & tried to hold the trust that it was all going to work out, especially when people looked down on me. Now it is. This is one of the happiest days of my life, not just because of my good fortune, but because the universe has shown me that all of the magical things I believe in ARE REAL! That goes for true love as well, but that's a whole other story. Love, laughter & trust to ALL who are struggling at the moment. I know it's scary out there, but miracles are happening, so ask for one today... Sarah xx

Sarah... good for you... and thanks for letting us know about your good fortune. That's absolutely brilliant! As I read these postings daily I notice there seems to be two very pronounced attitudes flying in and off this page. One very positive and the other very negative, seems to be extremely one way or the other. The thing is negative attracts more negative and positive attracts more positive so by being one way or the other you are telling the powers that be (and I don't mean the government but they do act as an agent) I want more of the same and it is it's reason for being to give you exactly what you want. So by allowing yourself to be optimistic and positive even in the face of all this turmoil we're all going through... (and yes... make no mistake, we are all going through it in one way or the other, the world has never been a bigger mess then now and that transfers down to the individual, down through the earth itself), you stand to reap a bigger positive payoff when the timing is right. But by allowing yourself to be miserable, negative, and mostly always on the edge of angry, just brings more of the same to you from every direction. Here I will concede it is your choice and you're right to choose. The proof is at 10:18. Sarah stayed positive and was rewarded for her attitude. What are you receiving for your attitude? I'm positive I'm going to get a lot of grief over this... bring it... the fight makes me stronger. To Anne: thanks and well put on yesterday's late comment. You said what I wanted to say just more gentle then I wanted to say it. (I think I work with that guy... seemed strangely familiar!!)

15:17 poster - you said it right. That's exactly my thoughts and my experience too. I used to be negative because I could see all these negative things people were doing to me, from governments to employers to, yes even neighbours. But it's not 'them' doing it to 'me', it's me asking for negative things by constantly thinking about them. So now, I'm positive. And, I hope, I'm learning to 'let go' a lot more. Let go of trying to do everything myself. Not easy when you're an ex-engineer. I don't mean getting other people to do things for me, I mean aiming for what I want, thinking about what I want, and letting the universe got on with it, while I do my bit too. In case people think that's all very well but when you're in the poo you can't see a way out, I have been there and done that. At one time I literally had the clothes I stood up in, a rusty old bike with a dodgy front wheel and a chain that kept falling off, and a waterproof hat. That was it. Nowhere to 'live', no address, no food, and about the modern equivalent of one pound in my pocket (it was actually 5 shillings if you remember them). But somehow I stayed positive, felt joy in the sky, the clouds and the wind, and soon things took a turn for the better. So negative is OUT. Positive is IN. A very good friend of mine calls it 'the flow'. Keep doing your part, aim for where you want to go, and 'the flow' will be with you. Ron (M19)

Congrats Sarah! I too posted yesterday and also believe miracles are happening all the time, we just don't notice. I am able to enjoy the excessive heat wave we are experiencing by being 'up north' and dipping into the cool blue water, the stars have been breathtaking the past few nights - that one in the western sky since Saturday! Thanks for letting me know what I'm looking at.But still the hammer hasn't stopped, I am sitting here now awaiting some word on my dad - he had a stroke this morning, too much heat-my mom will be confused & exhausted and I'm waiting to hear, ready to go when I know where he will be transported after the catscan...sad,concerned but ready to fight another day.

Yo VIP......and well my computers mended after nearly a month of being beyond repair, and I am back to remind everyone on here of two very important things:COMPASSION and KINDNESS. I happen to think I know the person who blogged at 9.51 and 22.13 yesterday, she is NOT a moaner,she does not think "me me me"- she is someone who has worked very very hard to get a job(no easy feat being unemployed in your fifties), she has had a lot of job rejections, and like me she is really struggling. She had to get through the winter with no heating, tries to survive on the huge sum of £69.00 weekly for EVERYTHING...its all very well to talk about keeping a smile on your face when you have nothing, and keep getting countless rejections for job after job, but some of us are unfortunately falling apart at the seams, me included, as I am facing a similar situation. Unfortunately the struggle of the last five years have taken their toll, and I keep crying all the time-people can only take so much... YAH boo to the above comment- how many of you on here can honestly say you're sitting there alone with no partner and little emotional support, on £69.00 a week with the loss of your home hanging over you- thats what me and the other lady are facing- I'd have said to the other lady on here yesterday "Dont worry, we're all here for you, and we'll help you through this rough patch not some crap like "You said what I wanted to say just more gentle than I wanted to say it"... how unkind- you know this site seemed to have a holistic gentle side to it when I first joined- it has become to harsh- oh well I darent come back I expect Ill be verbally slaughtered - just remember when you ahve lost everything and you ahve fought for years to keep going how youd feel faced with the sort of comments late yesterday and above...It reminds me of the Another Day in Paradise video where the rich people just ignore the plight of the elderly homeless lady...Yah boo .

Soooo pleased for you Sarah, I'm sure your news made a few people smile today, thank you for sharing that with us. I almost posted earlier re yesterdays "down" post, but chickened, feel drawn again tonight.... It can be so hard at times when you are in the thick of "it" to lift yourself up, find something good to cheer and make you smile, and I just felt that sometimes you just can't help but have a "wee go", and I don't feel that it's right to say please don't, because I am sure that we have all been there, which is why I posted the note about post-it's in the tea cupboard. Anything that gives you a lift, helps you smile on the inside as well as outside, birds tweeting, anything. There is some good in the world, prayers (of what ever kind) do get answered - Sarah shows us that! And I have found recently that if you stop worrying quite so much about what you fear - in my case making ends meet to pay bills and eat (I don't want to be rich, just earn enough to live on without constant worrying) that somehow enough is provided to get by. So yes, have your "moment" as I call them, but then try and stay positive, breathe, trust and when you can smile! Too cloudy up here to see the stars tonight, so maybe tomorrow for me. Oh, I'm a very, very late Canerian with lots of Leo in my chart. Hugs and smiles, and more smiles for Sarah's news Sx

I'm with the 20:11 poster. I don't see how telling someone who's in a very difficult situation to just look on the bright side of life helps. The logical extension is that it's all their own fault they're in the situation they are in because they don't have the right attitude. Rubbish. I say YES to more compassion and kindness!!

To 20.11 & 7.33 as much as I would like to reach out & take your pain away, but can't, can I maybe try to explain something... I don't think for one second anyone who posts here is lacking compassion or kindness. I don't think anyone who posts here & talks of finding inner stregnth & trying to focus on positive energy, does so from a place free from pain, struggle or fear. I have no doubt that all who gather here are full of compassion & care for those around them. Indeed, most people are really going through the ringer at the moment. Dealing with very difficult life situations is definately easier when one is able to put it in a larger (spiritual) context. Hell, if I didn't have my faith & wasn't able to see a bigger picture at work, I would find it very hard to pull myself out of my own self limiting belief system. My reality is, I have nothing in this world except my belief that eventually things will improve. It has taken me years to stop feeling angry at the world for making things so difficult for me. The plain fact of the matter is that the universe is all energy, we are all energy & when you are able to find moments of gratitude & positive energy amongst all the crap, you will find that things start to get better. This is real, I promise you!Please don't feel that everyone is being selfish & uncaring somehow, just because they have hope. When J.K Rowling sat in the cafe writing Harry Potter, she was a broke single mum living on benefits. She had hope & never gave up knowing that things were going to get better for her. I think you know the rest... We are all just trying to spread some positivity in these dark times. I hope that you will also come to imagine a better future for yourself & the whole world. Good luck & lots of love to you!

Hi 12.59, it's 7.33 here. I don't have any pain to take away, but thanks for the offer :0) I was talking about the difficulties others face. I see you are also on the side of kindness and compassion :0)
