I’m here anyway – so deal with it!
The Moon in Capricorn suggests a power surge in the career sector. It’s a number nice day – a day of 
empowerment and resolution. Death enters my spread by stealth – who invited him anyway! Now the wounds of fear and recrimination are gaping wide and I must apply the appropriate ointment.
The star shines brightly over a tortured landscape – for too long I’ve been the victim of my discontent – now it is time to shimmy for my own cause.
The Devil lurks off in the annals of my dissatisfaction; his feted breath pulsates in monotonous gasps grating on my nerves. Fear is the colour of bruised heart – blackened and reclusive behind the boulder of terror.
Hermes the Magician beckons me forth – do not be afraid you have more to give – it’s a new day.
I consider the struggle with my mind titled toward the evolving Ferris wheel in the cosmos. Jupiter spins the wheel and Mercury bellows a blast in a new direction. Take your place at table eight – you’ve earned it – you own it – you’re here anyway so they’ll have to deal with it!
I wince and say, but what about all of the nights of tormented grinding of gnashing teeth and lost sleep; the lost days of moping by the pool of poor me? The response echoes loud and clear. It’s their problem – not yours – don’t fight it – just lap it up and send it back with kisses and hugs – return to sender.

The pash
The Moon portends emotional security wrapped in delicate tissue paper which only allows creativity to seep through and filter out into the Universe.
The Chariot carries my wants and desires while it speeds toward a terminus of change.
The Hermit is dutiful in the cobblestones of my existence – stepping carefully along the rutted road of broken promises and heartfelt declarations.
Prometheus begs for forgiveness on the tree of life – stoic in his pledge to martyr himself that we may inspire the downtrodden.
The World is my oyster – but what if I don’t like oysters? Can I pick the ripe fruit instead? The fruit brandishes boldly on the garland of hope – far more delectable I would think!
Venus steps forth and pashes Pluto slowly defrosting his icy glare. A pash with the greatest lover of the zodiac would melt anyone’s demeanor – surely? I consider the coupling of Venus, Goddess of love and the Dark master and propose that it’s a rare occurrence so join in and celebrate the glistening outfall of their embrace.
The Full Moon today is perfect to conclude any fears, prejudices and tainted beliefs surrounding philosophy and or religion. Love one another that’s all that counts. Skin color, race, gender there is no boundary to love.
Dance in the electric freedom of the lightning bolts of change – master the art of conscious creation and create a world of love, peace and happiness. We all deserve Nirvana not just a chosen few.
Release the bitterness of the past and live creatively from your dreams.
Peace and Love,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
Excuse me; your life is waiting- playtime…
The morning spread reveals creativity, inspiration and empowerment. It is a number five day – a day of changes. It’s Saturn-day – domestic duties and 
organising the home and projects therein. There have been some rumblings that a clearing out is high on the agenda – I’ve been deleting files/folders and removing duplicating from my hard drive – ridding my life of the unnecessary and clutter. I wonder – why is that we collect so much stuff and store it in on our hard drives – or even hold on to it in her hearts and souls – for that matter?
Over the past couple of days I’ve been undertaking a little study program. It is a workbook written by Lynn Grabhorn. The program is in, The Excuse me, your life is waiting playbook. The book suggests that there are 12 Tenets of Awakening. And I’ve decided to wake up! Currently I am up to Tenet Four: We giggle why we are here – basically Grabhorn believes that we have incarnated into, “the playground of the gods!” She goes on to suggest that we are here to further, “the soul’s growth.” This “playground” is a place to fulfil the diver programming requirements of multitudinous diverse souls. Actually, she suggests that our soul is like a, “computer chip, designed exclusively to bold data in the form of emotions and feelings. One aspect of this chapter I find interesting is that Grabhorn maintains that that we have this “gigantic memory bank of our being which retains all the happiness and paid that has been dealt with, and all that has not.” Hence, we set off on our life path with a vision to complete an, “almighty emotional treasure hunt”. I like that – don’t you – I am not having a bad day or year I’ve just pricked my emotional baggage with the pin from the ruby brooch. Sort of sheds a new light on things doesn’t it?
One of the key messages from yesterday was that Grabhorn states, “a small group of us, including you (that is me by the way), volunteered to be part of the ’somebody’s gotta-do-it’ group who are here to pave the way for all humankind to eventually become an individuated Self that shall be more – that’s right, more – than the Source from which it came. The human shall be a Self, a Creator, and a Source, all in one. It has never happened before. And, by the simple virtue of your involvement with this guidebook, you can be assured that you are one who volunteered to come and trail blaze a path for others to follow.
Wow! Can you imagine how exciting that feels? It is like I’ve always known this somewhere deep in my unconscious mind – why do I attract these lessons – why am I so curious – why do I constantly walk into walls and go – this is a lessons I’ve done before – what do I need to learn about this? So, here you are – reading the journal of a trail blazer! My lessons are your lessons – there are some big wallops coming your way – and the lessons are coming fast and furious – are you able to keep up?
At the moment I am facing, “issues”. “Issues” are negative energy. I’m on the owning and dumping run – getting rid of the low frequency energy. My goal (and yours too if you choose to accept it) is to arrive at a joyful state of being. I know I’m up for it – what about you?
I will keep you posted with my progress. I am sure that you will read about it my journal over the next few years. I will not reveal too much about the book as I suggest, if you are a trail blazer you will end up with a copy yourself. For now, I am reading, digesting, releasing and integrating the awareness created from studying these 12 Tenets. I have to admit though, that a lot of what Grabhorn has to say makes sense. And on that note, if you knew that an underlying strand of why you constantly struggle with regret or continually go around in momentous cycles would you want to unravel it and learn from it – weave it into a new pattern – I know I do!
Peace and Love,

Respect yourself…
The Fool bursts from the cave – enough reflection and hanging about – let’s move on! I’ve been through all of the challenges life has to offer and now my aim is to start afresh – integrate the lessons into my backpack of experience and toddle down the road of dreams. It is time to move on rather than contemplate your navel at the rock of indecision and regret.
The Emperor demands respect. His rule is ruthless, unyielding and unrelenting. He is a formidable part of my psyche but a part that enforces a self respect and sold protective boundaries.
The Lovers – a balanced perspective – communication flows and the gentleness grows. Within the hearts of the broken ones we find the saddest tales of love and loss. Don’t fret beautiful one – well’ supply the healing elixir – remain calm and be gentle with yourself. Take care of you and see the time out you deserve.
Light showers have brought a mist of hope to the Capital. The dry scorched earth is gulping at the tiny droplets of hope. The green shoots of future crops peak through the earth and stretch toward the spring. These tiny tips represent the new crop or phase burgeoning with hope and optimism – hope supplies the impetus to burst through the oppressive clay and push us into a new day.
The sage words of Eleanor Roosevelt echo in my mind, “No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.” So why do we allow ourselves to be trampled by the disrespect of others? How can we enforce a self imprisonment on our souls we all we strive toward are to be free and create Nirvana?
The disillusionment of another week of discontent infects my soul. My body is wracked with regret and yet I know the lessons are not new or the venom has not been dripped down my gullet of self before today. Why do we crave the approval of others if we have learned time after time that we will never achieve this ticket to ride? Why is it that the sensitive ones must be cut the deepest? Isn’t there any justice in the world? I don’t know why and I am too exhausted to care!
Caring equals engagement – so I must disengage and not care – is that the answer? Step the betrayal of a tormented heart and care for myself – or just move on – disappointed and bruised. The lessons learned the light bulb is switched on – not only intellectually but physically too! The encouraging whisper of Eleanor once again reminds me that, “change means the unknown”. The dulcet tone of her spiritual voice calling me takes me from the sadness of the moment and my eyes lift toward a new horizon. I’m travelling light and the only baggage is the weight of my experiences – the layering of respect is my fashionistic collectables – like the Fool I look forward to a new time and place – see you there in the land of my dreams.
Love and Peace,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
Go for Gold, Julia
Mars, Pluto and the Moon are making this a day to go for gold. There are a lot of assertive energies about today especially for Arians or Scorpions – like me! The energy of the 11/2 day affirms a public/private atmosphere – a time to make your mark on the world – go for gold and don’t hold back. The only regret in life is the things we didn’t do!
The subconscious driers respond in kind- Empress – marks the freshness of a new phase – Strength supports the suggestion to soothe the savage beast (aka: fear). The courage of my conviction is declared by The Emperor himself – Zeus insists that I take the assertive stance and make it to the summit before nightfall.
The skies have been buzzing with alignments this week and today the Bermuda triangle opens up – to boldly go where you’ve never been before – sounds exciting – well let’s talk about it tomorrow morning. It is time to go for gold – stretch out and move fearlessly out of my comfort zone – watch this space as this phase unfolds and reveals a new frontier.
Peace, Love and Courage,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
All you need is love…
The interplay between Venus, Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron today is nothing short of a “love fest”. These key planets of the day combine nicely with the Moon in Libra! The potential for healing is phenomenal and it is our mission to lap it up! The Sun in Gemini offers the avenue for communication and intellectual dedication to love. These expressions can come in the form of written, verbal and even non-verbal. The actual demonstration of love personified (doing unto others as you would like it) is the planetary possibility – noice!
This love fest and retro-hippie phase is a wonderful interlude for own own healing. If we’ve suffered through the last few weeks and feel a little “precious”, today is the perfect celestial remedy to soothe the bruises of contempt. Slather it on and heal your wounds – I’m feeling better already – aren’t you?
Strength appears in the morning spread to remind me to dig deep and find the inner guile to keep focused on my mission. The Fool is boisterous and ready to launch into a new chapter while the wise Hermit cautious – watch your bloody step for crikey sake. The Chariot offers two roads to Nirvana – which one will give you the ride of your life? The path of self love is the safest route – don’t you think? Heal yourself and all will be wonderful in your world – love is all you need!
Peace and Love,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
Revolution – now!
“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” Albert Einstein
You say you want a revolution – I’ll have you know that today is a great day to plan a revolt, refrain and rejuvenate. The Moon is in “attention to detail” Virgo and all of her loveliness. This fine checking of habits and behaviours is perfect to do a revise and review of your life. Health and wellbeing feature high on this list along with the daily rituals of routines and conduct especially in your workplace. Are you being the best person you can be? Or are you slouching off and shrugging at the too hard basket? Now is a good opportunity to get back on track or get back to where you once belong!
Resolutions to oneself are the first step toward credibility. How can we make commitments to others if we continually break promises to ourselves? Of course we are all human and this promise breaking routine happens all the time but we can also re-evaluate and get back to our personal goals.
Today is the first day of winter here in Oz. The northern hemisphere is defrosting while Down Under we are scanning the mountain tops for a hint of snow. Rugging up against the winter chills with scarves and hats is the priority.
The agenda reads that it is full tilt back into the workplace; a new week to discover new facets of my being with new lessons to learn no doubt – all in the name of spiritual growth.
This week Venus and Jupiter snuggle in a warm embrace – this aspect has profound healing potential. The chaos of the past few weeks has subsided now that Mars has moved from Aries into Taurus – “sigh”. Mercury is direct and a new month begins. Life is good in Australia right now – we are even keeping a low profile on the, shall we say it – recession. People have been stimulated and so has the economy – great!
The competition for the best new talent in Britain is over. The inspirational Goddess Susan Boyle has come in second to a group of young dancers. While this may have been the fate of the competition I think that in a lot of people’s minds she is a winner many times over. My question is, why do the media always paint such inspirational people in a negative colour? What are they (journalists) afraid of? Is it written somewhere that we must run someone down every time we tap a key on a computer – why can’t we say something positive? I don’t get it! Maybe that is why Einstein was regarded as a genius – he got it in spades!
Enjoy your revolution! Or should I say let’s revolt against the negative media messages and send the positive words of love and inspiration! I wonder what will happen then. Let’s try! So Be It!
Peace and Love and Loads of Inspiration!

My three favourite women have appeared in the early morning spread. The Empress, Gaia is pregnant in all her glory – surrounded by a rich enclave of golden and ripened fruit offering the beginning of a new phase. The Star sparkling like diamonds in the sky – alluring in her raw and intoxicating magic – portends a phase of centre stage and telling it like it is. And to complete this trio of femininity and well established, gal pals, Temperance beams in to restore order and balance. The notion that all will be calm after a tumultuous emotional hailstorm is comforting and offers an elegant terminus to the week. The blackness of my disappointment has past and the deluge of emotions ceased – now I must look to the horizon for the hope that there is a meaning for all of life’s disappointments. A number nine day promises to be a day of empowerment and resolution – nice! Together, let’s beat the drum of change – across the miles and over the seas – life rolls on whether we want it to or not. It is up to us to get off our backsides and ride the space shuttle into another frontier – sometimes scarier than the next. One thing we can be sure of we keep the ever evolving door of opportunities to go. Strap on your seatbelt and get ready to roar; grab the galactic rocket and repeat after me, “infinity and beyond.” Was that Buzz Light-year I heard out there in cyber land? Peace and Love, Julia Ashton-SayersInfinity and beyond…
The creative flamboyant moon offers a regal splurge to the end of the working week. It’s been a tough week of momentous planetary alignments and now take a deep breath and try to deal with the fall out. Life is like that, I guess – the boom and bust – the ebb and flow – it’s either tornado or tidal wave and then the drought or trickle.
Manifest your dreams
The Sun is in Gemini – the curious and chatty planet – the moon is a grounded sign of Taurus. It’s a No: 3 day – a great day to challenge our minds and contact siblings and friends for a chin wag. All
of this information and communication is scattering around while the planet mercury is in retrograde phase – interesting?
Mercury is the most sensitive planet in the cosmos. His subtle energies influence our minds, thoughts and ultimately our manifestations. In that view, what we think we create. So what happens
when he is running backwards – like now? Do we speak gobbled-gook or do we become confused about mixed messages? Not sure about that as it is as individualistic as our DNA - good luck on working that one out – that is all I can say!
The Emperor reminds me of the inert power within. I am in control of my destiny. I’ve got the wisdom from past experiences to guide me and courage to face the future.
The glamorous and elegant star is a portend of future interludes – there is a time to shine and it is a brilliant phase – relax and enjoy the moment.
Prometheus, the hanged man encourages a more Neptunian phase – its okay to relax and ease our way into the weekend. The weekend augurs alignment of Neptune (illusion/disillusionment); Jupiter
(just too gorgeous for words) and Chiron (what about me – I’m wounded too you know?) the wounded healer. This illustrious alignment is brilliant for artists and healers – the perfect elixir for the walking wounded.
Justice relates to Athena – the Goddess of the mind – holding the sword of discernment – determined in her stride to cut away the superfluous – essentially the crap from our lives. She is the steel trap that resides within our minds – boundary maker and the most influential facet of my life.
The morning reveals a cold and blustery winter morn. I’m snuggled up in bed shrouded from the winter chills. The morning ritual of hot coffee, warm thoughts and a pen that writes gives me a feeling of satisfaction from the coldness of reality outside.
The harmony of the winds is discouraging; the howling a de-motivator to get up and launch into the day. Rather a more languishing feeling creeps in to protect me and give me the permission to linger longer and create before the domestic duties begin.I believe that rest is not a waste of time, don’t you? In fact, Sir J Ludlock says, “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” Don’t you agree?
At times this week I’ve pushed myself past the brink of physical capabilities. My body has been weary and my cold symptoms overwhelming. Last night I retreated early to nurture my body and to suffocate any ideas of weekend illness invasions. This weekend is perfect for rest and recuperation. There’s not a great deal of commands on my time – I do have the usual domestic commitments – but there is a shinny finale on Sunday afternoon. I belong to a circle of manifestation. This is a positive group of individuals who’ve decided to form an orb of optimism. With positive words, thoughts and energy we choose individually or collectively to beam this positive energy out into the world. It’s an uplifting finale to the weekend and an electric
spark for positive beams out into the world. For example we do not focus on a lack mentality. Instead we refute the concept of media sensationalism of recession and financial crisis. Our focus is in tune with gratitude for what we have and seeding that energy into a positive and abundant manifestation. The concept was borne out of like attracts like – what you think you create- what you say you do – etc etc.
What about you? What kind of world do you want to create? Believe me, it’s no secret – this concept really works. If it didn’t I wouldn’t be communicating with you now in this forum – would I?
Create: Peace and Love

Apollo – my Sun
"A true knowledge of ourselves is knowledge of our power.” Mark Rutherford
The darkness of the morn diffuses the enthusia
sm to rise and greet the day. Dark dreams lingering questions cloud my consciousness. What does it all mean? Snippets of scenarios roll through my mind – did I really dream the unfettered messages and interludes?
The Star pours the golden liquid from her urn. She is naked and yet comfortable in her vulnerability; poised on a tranquil sea of emotional stability confident and aware of the pulse of her presence.
Venus is abundant in the centre of the garland. Her riches nourish my soul. Protection ripe fruit and the promise of heavenly guidance are on offer – golden locks wrap her thighs – she’s not so bold.
Apollo – my Sun lures me into the golden promise with his euphonious lyre. Mystical sounds tantalise my being while cherubs dance and captivate my imagination.
Pictures of my subconscious reveal a path of joy, hope and reward – the past is a memory and the truth becomes the sword. What are we all doing here if we can’t live authentically? As Carl Jung reminds us, “In the final analysis, we count for something only because of the essential we embody, and if we do not embody that, life is wasted.” Stand up and be counted, reveal your inner most hopes and wishes, don’t be ignored.
Our journey is a solitary mission of lessons, challenges and death defying tours – is it possible to love ourselves when we come back to the shore?
The Moon is resting in Capricorn – pragmatic to the core. Business, public recognition, institutions and practicalities you cannot ignore. The effervescent energy of the number three day influence brings communication and intellectual pursuits to the fore – in spite of the ponderous sea goat’s trudge up the mountain of chores.
Archangel Barbiel is my companion today – constantly in fact. She whispers encouragement to release negativity from my thoughts – like an esoteric cheer squad to ensure a positive stride in my daily repertoire.
The morning brings a ray of hope chasing the darkness of my thoughts. It’s time to rise and make a difference in the world (or at least my tiny corner) once more - Life is precarious and the intangible threads weave a tapestry of truth and knowledge. Threads of discontent are littered around my feet cluttering up the floor.
Tonight I’ll reach for my scarf of optimism threads of red, golden, orange and yellow – knit one, purl one – slip one over – crafting a protective shawl; stroking the garment that will guard against the chills of rejection as I venture out the door.
Love, Peace and Happiness,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
Seven dolphins 
The aroma of fresh percolated coffee beckons me out of a strange dream.
I was performing a ballet dance in a small studio. Standing at the practice bar was in a square formation and beneath the square was a huge ocean marine pool.
Swimming around the pool were large fish, sting ray and two sharks. I became fascinated with he sharks, not frightened as I've inclined to be all of my life. I wanted to see them closer, swim with them and even play with them but the ballet teacher insisted we leave the studio and walk the nearby sand hills stressing that it will be good for our legs
As we tramped over sand I became despondent, I wanted to get closer to the sharks – I kept think what are they doing – why must I leave? After a while I realized how fresh the air was beyond the dunes. The sun was kissing the ocean with a lover's embrace I looked up and saw seven dolphins rise up in the waves twirling their bodies around to a silent symphony orchestrated by Poseidon. I squatted on the sand hills and erupted into raucous laughter acknowledging that I had to move away from the sharks to revel in the dolphin dance of joy.
Good dream wasn't it?
Now I sit in awe of the minutest details of my hand and even breach out into my surroundings. My nails and the shape captivate my imagination. It's like I am on some magical mystery tour intoxicated by the power of the dream. Each letter or stroke I write screams a spellbinding significance. Each sentence takes me further away from my former life.
Maybe that is the hidden message of the dream? I had to move away from the ballet school to rediscover my dance of joy? The creative and inspirational aspects of me have been doing the exercises and the ballet bar which surrounds the shark pool below?
Here I am liberated from work and the ritual of daily routines all of a sudden my imagination and inventiveness flow – fuelled by the presence of the dolphins.
It is Tuesday and the moon is linked in harmony with my natal Gemini moon. It's the first day of my lunar return and I consider what a great gift the dream has become - a royal rite of passage to celebrate the new phase; a perfect synchronous timing to create an awareness of change – cracking open the sphere of fear that lies within my soul.
Yesterday we drove around the area discovering new places and visiting some nostalgic childhood neighborhoods. After that sojourn back in time we ventured in the shopping complex for more food, supplies and a little retail foraging. Lunch devoured followed by an afternoon nap – a vibrant and revitalizing walk before dinner and some movie tie – holidays are fantastic aren't they?
Peace and Love,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
New Moon wishes
The growling of the beast beneath the rubber of the road turning my wheels humming a seductive lullaby takes me further from my residence. A grey/black sky littered with sequins, red tail lights on a road to escape. An upside down saucepan, a glittery cross engulfs the southern sky – nostalgic songs tempt me back to dreams of the past. Where did they go? Did I lose them in the race for recognition and validation?
It's a new Moon in Taurus at 1:22pm today – a time to plant seeds (aka wishes and dreams). What if your future is now? Then the wishing time is done, isn't it? The serenity of the Venusians' influence offers respite and a glint of escape from the demanding drum of a hectic life.
We travelled overnight to an ocean retreat, surrounded by family and a new member of the tribe. I feel replete. We have a week to bond and get back on our feet Find a balance between work and duty – shush the rumblings of the insatiable beast.
In the stillness of the morning before the others have stirred I find a quiet corner, pristine and perfect. My thoughts are able to graze along a fresh misty haze – I retreat within and capture promises, passion and desires buried under daily rituals of agendas from a busy schedule. These moments are mine – pure, alive and divine.
Climbing the stairs a conversation with those who aren't there reveals a gentle reminder of the depth of desire to create a world of sublime expression.
A stirring in the house – my goodness they must have hear me – others are awake – I must flee make haste and take my previous prose back to my confidante – Julia's
The sunrise splashes over the glistening aqua zone. The blue green sea regales crimson, jade and brilliant orange. Lorikeets chatter a morning serenade while I climb back into bed and real for the tools of the trade. A fresh brew and now I am ready to talk; sated by surroundings of comfort and familiarity swaddled by the call of the ocean as I languish and strain to hear the mermaid's song. I'm here to reconnect with me and rejuvenate my spirit.
Judgment is the augur of rebirth. Saturn taps his feet and looks at his watch its time to shed the baggage of the past; layering our lives with impromptu incidents and escapism jaunts that are destructive and childish.
The Fool skips to the edge of the precipice – jump you fool – its safe down here sure it's new and out of your comfort zone – there's no going back, that’s for sure. The benefactor rolls the die the Ferris wheel of life is rocking and rolling it's your turn today; all you have to do is believe. Click your heels three times and make a wish.
The secure platform of the number four day is a comfort in a sea of uncertainty. Life batters and bruises our confidence, hearts and souls – we must continue or die – that is the alternative – take a breath and rest for only a second marvel in the beauty around you – linger until the view matches you and all the wonder which is inherently you.
The struggle and pant to escape the safe harbour of normalcy is a memory. The slate is clean and the sketch unseen. I can draw till my hand becomes weary. This previous time is mine to relax and unwind – enjoy each moment or not – talk and to shop – walk and play – splash in cleansing salty replete – glide over tiny diamonds on my feet – so sublime. It's a holiday.
Peace and Love
Julia Ashton-Sayers
Reflections
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes." - - William James
The Fool promises new beginnings and travelling light – hold on to your visions and crate the magic for your life. Step up; step up to the Ferris wheel and manifest your boldest intention. Overnight sensations can be borne in the new millennium.
Opportunities abound are crevices appearing the granite perceptions of society. Don't judge a book by its cover but can't you make it a little prettier? We are breaking down the barriers of assumptions. Looks like the mean ones will have to develop a personality after all. Reflections of Gucci and size o's won't win a ticket to the power elite.
The world has stopped long enough to watch the beauty within – sated by the insatiable lust of encore. Beware the underlings have risen and strut their stuff.
I saw her walk on stage – mocked by the non-verbal taunts and patronizing slurs – she blew them away – anyway. Despite her un-glam exterior the voice and grace captured the stony hearts of the audience.
Well done Susan Boyle.
Peace and Love,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
Once upon a life
The Taurean moon offers a practical vibe to our emotional well. The essence of a number six day directs commitment and responsibility into our lives. The Magician encourages me to facilitate change in my life utilizing all of my skills, gifts, knowledge and essential tools. The Tower warns that the structure of my beliefs will be challenged as they are under threat from external forces – stay strong and be resilient – don't bend and or shatter your values – remain focused, strong and determined you will be liberated.
Jump on the chariot and grab a ticket to ride – we are off and pacing down the road. A dream manifested yesterday at 12 noon. A young man stepped out of a Moonhawk Black Accord Euro and handed me the keys – here is your new car, Ma'am. The car has been a constant vision for a few years. Now I need to enjoy the ride and manifest a new vision for the future.
The life I'm living is a dream come true. Sure there are tainted facets that are being polished with brasso and the cloth of diplomacy. Eventually bringing the shine of optimism required. The nectar of accomplishment will filter into the dream come true bucket.
Now, how do we begin, that's right – once upon a life.. Last night I drove the new beast in a different direction. We arrived at a restaurant in the sky and socialized with an amazing group of people who have lived incredible lives. I was in awe of my table of associates, friends and colleagues. These accomplished beings have left an indelible footprint on the world and now I savor their experiences drinking in every delicious drop from the nectar of their journey. Ultimately, the incredible chapters are bound in gold edged chapters filling the autobiography of their library.
Gratitude Peace and Love,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
We'd like to take you home with us…
The Libran moon coerces cooperation in relationships and partnerships. Balance is a constant theme for this phase of the moon cycle. The upcoming full moon is a time to remember relationships both personal and professional. And while you are doing that embrace the luscious link between the Sun and Jupiter – oh la lah! This aspect is the perfect day to bask in the glory of our own dreams and fantasies – a potent day for writers and creative souls – expression will be fathomless.
The St. Pepper's song has been going around in my head since I woke up this morning. While making the morning brew I thought about the concert over the weekend with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr appearing together. What a hoot? You can almost guarantee that John Lennon and George Harrison would've been there – loving it and lapping up the energy, ambience and nostalgia. The collaboration would have ripped through the curtain between both worlds. I can't blame them really. The music is intoxicating and is forever burned in our psyche; another affirmation of Paul McCartney's demonstration of his ageless musical ability and agility.
I must admit that in my youth I was totally devoted to James Paul McCartney. His cutsie boyish looks were appealing entwined with his Gemini intricacies – thoroughly intoxicating for a teenage girl. My youth was Paul. I was delighted when he met and married his soul mate, Linda and they shared many happy years together, (not long enough sadly though.) I felt so happy for him on many levels. It was a time for the fractured young Paul to get it together and rediscover himself.
My attention never swayed too far from the Beatles as John and his journey came into my focus and it seemed that we grew up together. As John took a step forward – or stepped out of view I too leap-frogged along not far behind. At times we were linked on a similar path – so much so I could feel his breath imbue the daily nuance of my existence. I know that sound really profound – and so it was.
Sure I brought Band of the Run records but my consciousness was always searching for the "John influence". I was proud that he remained true to himself and his personal mission. Art, creativity and authenticity was his legacy to the world and he made it much better place just by being in it! I'm not saying he colored our world with sunshine each day before we reached for a crayon in our box. We all walked a narrow line between creativity and social consciousness-raising. What I liked most was that he made us think – encouraged us to step away from the herd and take a long look at what was really important for a generation of future leaders.
Now, individually, collectively, or even as a dynamic duo (Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) we continue to revel in the glory of their words and music. Over decades and beyond their influence continues to inspire our hearts, minds and souls to a place of wondrous woven magic and beyond.
Peace and Love,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
