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!

LIR 73114 - DagazR far off the mat

Today’s driving force may be an instinctive fear or hope that time is running away from you.  But whether your deadline is tomorrow or next year, your best pace is the one which enables you to do your best.  

Time is only fleeting when we categorize it. Now is eternal.

***************************************************
Okay, okay.  But the pressure of passing time is a hard one to resist dramatizing!

And it's difficult to know, sometimes, if the pressure is an actual - um, you need to get this done!  versus the - go, go, go, faster, faster, faster general feeling of the current pack mind.

I do feel that things are moving faster; that the inertia of traumatic change has become the wave of reaction.  And it's pretty easy to get swept along.

But, still and always, no matter what's going on around me, the things I need to know, need to achieve, have to do with MY situation and not anyone else's.  Running just to stay in place is counter productive if I don't want to be in a specific place at all.  And if I focus on the time it's going to take, or the time that has passed, I won't be focusing on the situation itself, and it may never be resolved to my satisfaction.

Now, the rune itself was very far off the mat... it rolled across the table, over the edge, and might have continued if it hadn't gotten tangled in computer cords.   Which means this is a deep, deep compulsion the Universe just wanted us to be aware of.  Which explains why I don't really have anything concrete to use as an interpretation for yesterday.

Or maybe the important part for me is that the rune did get tangled in computer cords.  Because in this job search, and knowing how quickly technology changes, maybe I fear, deep deep down, that I am not smart enough, agile enough to keep up with the "improvements".

And perhaps it's all irrelevant... the why, and what do I fear.  The important part, as usual, is the focus of the situation, the job, the truth, the accomplishment of happiness.  Not the time it takes to get there, but the goal, every day, of stepping toward it.  Of putting energy into it.  Of letting achievement be the pressure instead of strictures of time and space.

Today is about what you can do for yourself. It’s not about the clan or family, regardless of how you love them.

Do it for yourself.

I hope you have a great day!

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!

If you feel stuck, close your eyes and point.  A guess is as good as an analysis and takes much less time.

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

So we had a Doctor Who party and thus this was a helpful reading, because when I get into the grocery store and suddenly remember all sorts of things that could be needed, I get a little frantic.  Allowing myself to just grab a few things that seemed fun, and then high-tail it out of there, was very freeing.

Later in the day, I accidently gauged some skin from my finger and the band-aid I ended up using was shaped like an hourglass (Dagaz.)  My neice, who was applying the first aid, made a comment about time.

And really, if you think about it, maybe the Dagaz symbol was also for the Doctor Who event.  But then it would just be saying, since it was reversed, "Um, no.  You're not a Time Lord."  Or, more reassuring to me, "No, you won't have to live forever."

I hope you have a great day!
