LIR for Aquarius Moon - Dagaz (off the mat)

If you're like me, you're feeling a little frantic right about now. You have all these plans and desires and needs; and you're not sure how and where and when; and every time you look up from your work you feel driven and rushed and completely ineffective.

And that's what Dagaz is here to talk about.

Dagaz is the rune of doorways, of time, of finishing one story before beginning another.
Dagaz' position off the mat means that the drive we're feeling, the rushing of time, is as much about the fear or hope of time's passing as it about time actually passing.

And if we're aware of that undercurrent, we can stop the inner panic.

Because Dagaz is not about letting time bully us. Time does pass, it's true. It's a fact of life. Look, there it goes.

But look at what we have done as that time has passed. We have breathed. We have chosen. We have experienced. We have grown. We have learned.

In fact, let us take some precious moments to really look at all we have done. Let us pause in our frantic rush to appreciate what we have accomplished. To acknowledge what was never done. To look at our lives, and our hopes, and our fears, and say, Okay. This is where I am today.

Because as we look at what we have done, and what we wish to do, we celebrate ourselves. We give past selves their proper due. And we see clearly the foundation on which we are going to build our future choices.

Dagaz - Understanding that the tick tock of the world clock is ringing in the back of your head, give yourself space and time to view your story. Then it will be time to step through the next door - unrushed, unhurried, and untrammeled by the celebrated past.

I hope you have a great month!

A little more time, a little more thought. Firm your foundations, ride the emotional wave, accept your gifts & open your arms wide. Your dreams are coming!

*********************************************************************************

i just have to say - five minutes after I cast this, just finished typing up the interpretation, and a company called.  They had already filled the position I had applied for, and wondered if I were interested in a different position.  

I don't know if I would have grabbed it anyway, but with this reading firmly in hand, I said no thank you.  I'm holding out for what I want!

It'll be interesting to see what the rest of the day brings.

*************************************

5 days later...  well, 5 is a good number.  A restful number.

I find it interesting which parts of a reading I latch onto.  Often it's the fearful parts I have to over come.  Like that little time rune, down in the lower right corner.  Part of me wants to scream, "HOW MUCH TIME?!"  So there have been days when I have simply been riding the whirlwind.  Or, to be more accurate, I have simply been being me, while the whirl wind flows around.

Have I firmed my foundations?  Well, I definitely confirmed I have no desire to stay in a retail job, no matter how awesome the people.  And, in my job search, I have realized also that transit time is not necessarily what I want right now.  Though, I leave that up in the air a little more than others, because it could be good to get my behind out of the house.

But is that my real foundation?  I am very comfortable in the house, but do I get any work done if there is no outside impetuous?

And is that important?

Right.

So.

Foundation -  More of a honing, than an expanding.
Time - both relaxing and stressful.
Arms open wide to accept gifts?  Hmm.  Let's see what today brings.

I mean yes!  Yes!  I accept.  *G*

Really, if I pay attention to what I, myself, my body and my happiness meter are telling me, I can separate the hobbies from the work which feeds me.  So once more, accepting my gifts means also accepting how I want to use those gifts.  Or not, as the case may be.  Which means, again and always, accepting myself.

How do you know your hard work will pay off?

Look where you are now! Only you could have made the choices which led to this harvest, these rewards.

It only gets richer, fuller, happier from here.

I hope you have a great day!

Yes, another good day to stop & think. Don’t rush into anything. 

Perhaps analyze past results so your future will feed your truth & your happiness.

                 ******************************************************************************************

Today, this was more of a foretelling than advice.  Or perhaps the advice lodged in my subconscious and worked in my favor.

Regardless, I can see there were many points where I did not react, but analyzed - emotional state, thought pattern, intentions - and used past events or future precedents to redirect the energetic feed of the emotion, thought or deed.  IE: feeling myself snappish and grumpy after making a set of runes indicated the need for grounding.  And some chocolate.  Though I do admit chocolate is my go to answer for everything.  78% dark preferably.

I hope you have a great day!

Take time to think, Compare, contemplate, be sure before moving forward.

 If it feels rushed, it might not be the right time.

************************************************

Well, I must say I am impressed with myself.  Because that's what I did.  I thought.  And I thought.  And I discussed and I talked and I thought some more.

A friend of mine brought up a very good thought this weekend.  She said, and I paraphrase, "Okay.  We know what we don't like.  We may not know why, but we know what.  So, what do we want to replace it with?"

It's not enough, it seems, just to want something.  I suppose that's part of free will, and taking responsibility.  I have to know all parts of what I want.  As in, do I just want to be content?  Earning income by doing a task that has no meaning to me?  Filling my days with repetition, so I can freely hang out at night?  Or do I want more, even if it means having to work for the times of relaxation and hanging out?

what do I really want?  Over all.  And in little pieces.  If this doesn't make me happy, what do I want to replace it with?

And, how do I want to get there?

I have learned one thing, in my contemplations.  I do NOT believe in compromise.  I want it all!  Every drop of happiness.  Every moment.  So mote it be.

Look. It’s not about the outside influences. It’s not about what others want or think is right. It’s not even about fate, destiny, or what “should” be.

It’s about what we want. It’s about what makes us happy. Each, individually, uniquely happy.

So. What do you WANT?

I hope you have a great day!
