Where has all the time gone.  Here it is February already and I've been MIA around here far too long.  My excuse ... work.  Another tax season underway and my life becomes work, eat, sleep and do it all over again and again.  I miss reading everyone's blogs so much and during the day at work tell myself "I will tonight and I'll even do a blog".  But I don't. :(

My daughter's 32nd birthday (can you believe that!!) was this past Wednesday.  I told her there was a special surprise for her but we needed to make an "appointment".  So she came over late this morning.  She was so excited.

I've always loved astrology and later tarot.  Studied, enjoyed, even did work for folks.  But never consistently.  It is my goal, now that retirement is on the horizon, to do astrology and tarot and actually make some money doing it.  But first, I must be able to get the knowledge in my head out.  Practice and practice and practice.

My first practice victim, my daughter today.  I presented her with a thorough write-up of her astrology chart along with a solar return report.   While she was here I went over the significant points and little tidbits of information.  She can take home what I wrote, read it,

absorb it and then if another meeting is required, I am up for that.

After our discussion of astrology was complete, I did a five card yearly spread for her.  Amazingly the cards that came up mirrored all we had previously talked about.  We were both blown away.  Love this stuff.

Alone again, I needed a little meditation to ground myself.  After that, without much thought, I picked up The Wildwood Tarot deck and The Green Man appeared.  He has a good heart and his spirit warm.

As I read in the book "This is a time for both giving and receiving the natural flow of life both inwardly and outwardly.  Be prepared to find a new and thriving drive to begin projects, relationships and even new ways of living your life and fulfilling your world.  Now is the time to experience being at the apex of the cycle of life.  Enjoy it!"  

Yes indeed.  It is what I need to do.  Despite being so busy with work I need to find the time, even if only 15 minutes a day, to read the cards, or work with an astrology chart.  Make plans for the weekends to meet with anyone who will let me read for them.  Practice, practice, practice.  The more I do it, the more comfortable I will be and the easier the words will come.

How exciting!!
