LIR Gemini 2015 - No Rune, with Ur (Ogham)

So, this coming month is going to be one of practice. Focusing on our truths, on the steps and rituals and habits which bring us happiness in every moment. There is no general storm, or transition period, or bridge to cross. Just practice, as each moment arrives, as each event unfolds, as each question comes up. Breath, find your truth, your balance, and move, speak, act, be.

Of course, the reason we call these things practice is because we're still working out what form of behavior, action, or speech brings us happiness. If you're like me, there are plenty of opportunities to practice and improve, each time coming closer to a moment, a behavior, a response or action which brings you that deep sense of beauty and rightness. Happily, if you're like me, there are more moments of beauty now than there were a month ago, but there are still plenty of places to practice.

So Ur (which is Ogham for Heather) is going to pop in - through dreams, sparks of inspiration, the careless word of another, a passage in a book or show - and give us a little sparkle to add to our practice. A little twitch to help bring more beauty to the truth. A little nudge to get us exactly on the pitch we're striving for. Yay, Ur!

The trick to playing with Ur is to allow it to be an addition to the practice, and not the basis of the practice. For example, the rune reading this month is still the rune reading. The addition of the Ogham gives it a little more depth. I will not be switching to Ogham readings all the time.

So, let each moment be what it is. Remember your personal version of grounding (mine is: step back, breathe, center, and find my truth of the moment.) Practice it in every situation, let it be flexible in every situation. See how the inspiration nudges, see if you like it. Just because you think of something doesn't mean you have to do it. Or that it's right for you!

Practice makes anything possible.

Personally, I'm looking forward to a quiet month of practice. I have plenty of things to practice on, and I expect, as I practice they will become easier to do, and therefore less looming! Which will finally leave  me time for practicing what I really want to do - more writing, more singing, more coaching, MORE!

I hope you have a great month!

LIR Taurus 2015 - LaguzR & SoweloR (as seen in newsletter)

Yup, another month where it feels like nothing is going to take off, nothing is going to move forward. Where is the rush, the excitement? Where is the freak out? If I don't take off, how can I succeed?

Chill! The time of Taurus is a time of slow, methodical work. With the changes and fluctuations of spring, it is an excellent time to check every step, have your foundations secure, be mindful of your practice and your truths. This is not a time for quick changes.

Perhaps there won't ever be a huge, explosive take off. Or at least, it won't feel like that. After all, we have been working to be sure of our truths, knowing that everything is practice. This makes every moment THE moment, and every moment no big deal. We may never feel those opening nights jitters because every new thing gives us a little jitter, and we're so focused on practicing, we'll find we're safely and happily ensconced in a thriving situation without even realizing we've become "successful" or even "launched".

And yes, we may be afraid we're on the wrong track, following the wrong dream, NEVER going to find the rainbow. We've been holding onto belief for so long, we're almost used to not having the actual manifestation.

But perhaps that's the way things work these days, after all the transitions and storms. A slow and methodical growth. A quiet presence. Hard work and belief and being willing to believe in the dream. Because if you're like me, it may not feel like a successful game all the time, but it's still the only game I'm willing to play. So, I'll keep playing. Slow and steady.

LaguzR - no big rush this month. SoweloR - the fear (or hope) of lack of success.

Release the barely hidden fear; unless you want the project to be put to bed, the only thing the fear will do is distract you. There is no explosive birth of your project, relationship, situation. And that's a good thing. Success comes not from the way a dream is launched upon the world, but from the energy & truth put into the project.

I think I can handle that. What about you?

I hope you have a great moon!
