Love is no easy path ❤️🙌

Sometimes people walk away from love because it is so beautiful that it terrifies them. Sometimes they leave because the connection shines a bright light on their dark places and they are not ready to work them through. Sometimes they run away because they are not developmentally prepared to merge with another- they have more individuation work to do first. Sometimes they take off because love is not a priority in their lives- they have another path and purpose to walk first. Sometimes they end it because they prefer a relationship that is more practical than conscious, one that does not threaten the ways that they organize reality. Because so many of us carry shame, we have a tendency to personalize love’s leavings, triggered by the rejection and feelings of abandonment. But this is not always true. Sometimes it has nothing to do with us. Sometimes the one who leaves is just not ready to hold it safe. Sometimes they know something we don’t- they know their limits at that moment in time. Real love is no easy path- readiness is everything. May we grieve loss without personalizing it. May we learn to love ourselves in the absence of the lover. ~Jeff Brown

Breaking

When life breaks you, it is because you are ready to be put back together differently. Every piece of you that feels shattered is a piece that will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning.

Trust that the cracks are where the light gets in.

And sometimes, in our brokenness, we find our greatest wholeness.

We find the courage to rebuild, to reimagine, to redefine what it means to be strong.

You are not broken; you are breaking through.🥀🌷

Love ❤️

The first time I met Love

My heart was broken

and I asked

“How could you have betrayed me?”

And Love replied

“It was your expectations. I am incapable of betrayal.”

The second time I met Love

My spirit felt crushed

and I asked

“How could you have hurt me?”

And Love replied

“It was your reaction to the situation.

I am incapable of causing pain.”

The third time I met Love

My energy was drained

and I asked

“How could you have depleted me?”

And Love replied

“It was your lack of self-love and failure to set appropriate boundaries.

I am incapable of depleting you.”

The fourth time I met Love

My entire being felt alone

and I asked

“How could you have abandoned me?”

And Love replied

“I am always with you and can never leave you

As I dwell within you.”

The fifth time I met Love

My soul felt vulnerable, naked and exposed

and I asked

“How could you have embarrassed me?”

And Love replied

“It was your ego that caused you to feel embarrassed.

I am incapable of experiencing or causing shame.”

The sixth time I met Love

Anger rippled through me

and I asked

“How could you have taken from me?”

And Love replied

“I cannot take from you.

I give while asking for nothing in return

As I am unconditional.”

The seventh time I met Love

A deep sense of sadness pervaded me

and I asked

“How could you have fooled me and then used me?”

And Love replied rather gently and compassionately

“Do not mistake someone’s inability to love you

For the truth of who I am.”

And the eighth and final time I met Love

I greeted it as an old friend

Free from expectations, heartbreak, pain, shame and conditions

And Love embraced me and said

“Now you truly know me.”~

Wolves – Dr. Clarissa Pinkola

It is interesting to note that among wolves, no matter how sick, no matter how cornered, no matter how alone, afraid, or weakened, the wolf will continue. She will lope even with a broken leg. She will go near others seeking the protection of the pack. She will strenuously outwait, outwit, outrun and outlast whatever is bedevilling her. She will put her all into taking breath after breath.

She will drag herself, if necessary, from place to place till she finds a good place, a healing place a place for thriving.

The hallmark of the wild nature is that it goes on.

So, if women must, they will paint blue sky on jail walls. If the skeins are burnt they will spin more. If the harvest is destroyed they will sow more immediately. Women will draw doors where there are none and open them and pass through into new ways and new lives.

Because the wild nature persists and prevails, women persist and prevail.

Jupiter Retrograde – Stay in Peace & Calm

#astrology We’re entering a very strong period of energy cosmically and astrologically. The Solar Flares keep on coming, with 3 X-class flares already this month, and Solar Cycle 25 twice as strong as expected so far. Comet Atlas is heading for its closest point to Earth in the next few days, and Comets can bring new information, boost our spiritual awakening but also initiate big periods of change globally.

Today Jupiter moves stationary retrograde at 21°20′ Gemini, just 2′ from an exact conjunction with US Mars. As Jupiter is the planet of expansion, this can expand the aggressive potential of the US. Please stay in peace, calm and stillness to dissipate this possibility, the collective energy absolutely affects how the planetary energy manifests.

Jupiter is also conjunct the dwarf planet Altjira and one of the themes here is a shedding of old social programming as we become aware of more facts and information that change our belief systems (Jupiter retrograde, rethinking our beliefs and social programming). I think it is clear how that is beginning to happen on a bigger scale.

We are well within Pluto’s station direct on October 12th at 29° Capricorn, the last time it will be in this sign in our lifetime as it now starts to move forward and exit Capricorn on November 19th. With this change in direction and only a few short weeks to go until Pluto enters Aquarius, I believe we will start to feel more rebellious and revolutionary energy (Aquarius) from people globally. Aquarius is the sign of freedom, human rights, civil rights, equality, and humanitarianism. So I would ask everyone to always act peaceful as anger begets more anger, but most certainly grassroots-based solutions are already emerging quietly in communities (Aquarius).

This theme of rebellion is reinforced by the Moon at the Full SuperMoon on the 17th being exactly by degree conjunct Eris, warrior sister of Mars, who demands that every voice is heard, truth and justice. This is a very powerful SuperMoon which includes a Cardinal Grand Cross involving the Sun, Moon, Mars and Pluto. That is about as strong as it gets in terms of willpower, focus, and it can be very assertive. This is wonderful for initiating new projects personally, but may create more explosive energy in the collective.

So in these coming days please do more work to stay calm, peaceful, and book even more stillness meetings with yourself. Ask for benevolent help in the form of your guides and angels to release and heal the trauma in the land and the people who currently are caught up in extreme weather situations. See these being soothed and calmed, with the bright light high frequency loving light shone upon them all.

We are entering another episode of extremely strong energy in the coming months, so stay centred, strong and as far as possible keep life simple. Operate from the inside out not the outside in, otherwise you will become very scattered. Keep ‘welcoming in an expanded consciousness of love’.

Many blessings to you all.

No apology

I don’t need your apology, but one day i hope you feel guilty for the way you treated me.

your words and actions cut deep, leaving scars that will take time to heal. but i won’t hold my breath waiting for you to acknowledge the pain you caused. your apology would be too little, too late.

instead, i hope that someday you’ll experience the weight of guilt for the way you treated me. i hope that the memories of your actions will haunt you, and that you’ll realize the harm you inflicted.

i hope that guilt will gnaw at your conscience, forcing you to confront the hurt you caused. maybe then you’ll understand the impact of your words and actions.

but even if that day never comes, i’ll still rise above. i’ll heal, i’ll grow, and i’ll learn to love myself more than i ever loved the idea of your approval.

your treatment of me was a lesson in resilience, a reminder that i don’t need your validation to be worthy. so, keep your apology; i don’t need it. but know that i hope you’ll one day feel the weight of your actions, and that it will be a catalyst for growth and change.

Endings

Endings don’t require drama or toxic behaviors. You can end something because it’s not what you want, it doesn’t fit where you’re going, you’re tired of trying to make it work, your needs have changed, or you can no longer accept what is happening. You don’t have to wait for a major offense to let things go. It’s okay to bow out gracefully.

Sometimes peace is more important than giving someone a piece of your mind.

Peace & Clarity

Lately, I’ve found myself drifting away from activities and conversations that once held my interest.

There’s a growing fatigue in engaging with arguments and conflicts that seem increasingly pointless.

It’s as if I’m looking for peace and clarity, but instead, I’m confronted with negativity and divisiveness that drain my energy.

I’ve started to prioritize my mental well-being, stepping back from situations that no longer serve me or spark joy.

This shift has allowed me to reflect on what truly matters to me.

I’m seeking deeper connections and experiences that resonate on a more meaningful level.

As I move away from trivial disputes and superficial engagements, I feel a sense of liberation.

It’s a journey toward understanding myself better and embracing what brings me genuine happiness, rather than getting caught up in the noise around me.
