Tarot card of the month: August 2023, Queen of Cups

 

Ok to kick this off, the element of water jumps out at me, as does Leo and the Sun.

As we know Leo is the sign for the beginning of August. Which is the ruler of the 5th House in the Zodiac wheel.

Human conscioussness is connected to water, emotions and spirituality all of which are covered by this card too. Joyful times in this months card are short and sweet, it is the last month of summer in the northern hemispheire and the last month of winter in the southern hemispheire.  Mother Nature  starts to put her harvest to bed for the  season in northern hemisphere and people are returning to work and school. This year though may be one of the last to enjoy in Europe before things get out of hand by 2025.

There is a bit of tension in the air in a few places, especially in France. France will kick it up a notch with uncontrolled rioting. Macron has no idea how to deal with this. I do feel sudden changes in law will be brought in, new laws put in place to curb violence and there will be more restrictions. 

I feel Macron will call an early election due to the current violence between the police and the public. I do not see Macron being reelected, I feel he has upset too many people. The public are not  forgiving when it comes to the actions of Macron and company.

Ukraine is still caught up in war and will be for a very long time to come. I feel Ukraine is out on a limb as they fight back against Russia. Russia can no longer rely on Wagenr group to pick up the slack either.   There will be a breakthrough in the fighting;  though the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia needs better protection, because there is a high risk here in reckless behaviour that may cause a leak. Not neccessarily intentional but through carelessness or negligence.Trying to cap this off may bevery difficult and this could mean evacuationg many people from the area.  

Football crowds get a bit overexcited in Europe, possibly in Madrid, Spain. I see crowd control to curb drunken behaviour on the streets will be put down. I see police getting injured by drunken fans, they could be from England. Barcelona is in the news also in connection to this. The weather is hot and over heated emotions fueled by alcohol which is never a good mix. 

Wembley is also in the news in August, there may be a new management contract for English teams with big money involved. New players signed up with phenominal wages. One of these men is a very big name in football. There is also an Australian connection to football in England. I see a man with light brown to fair hair wearing a blue and white football jersey. I hear the word striker. 

More food problems as prices rise again, supermarkets are trying to cap prices ( mind you they still make billions in profit). This does not fix the problem and people become distressed because they are trying hard to feed their families. I see chips (crisps) and lollies (sweets) in the spotlight and this could be parents having to restrict the amount of goodies that children can have and still afford nutritious food. The kids won't be happy unfortunatley. 

A sacked football player in the news, I see socks rolled up and the man thinking, he won't be needing them for a while. However this could possibly be a suspension or ban for a period of time.

New activities are needed for children to keep them amused is in the news. This feels like in Australia, bordem busters and how to entertain kids on a budjet. 

Water and emotions are in the news, Leo rules the start of August which as I pointed out at the start is the 5th house of the Zodiac and it influenced family, sport, children, creativity, amusements, the love that you give, love affairs, speculation and romance. which compliments the queen of cups card.

I feel there are a lot of goodbyes in August, this feels related to the end of summer fun and returning to school for the new term in the UK and northern hemispheire countries.  Young adults returning to college or univercity after the semester break.

There are a few tears in August but there is happiness also. This could be a big month for pregnancies or births. If it is pregancies then hello to Taurus babies. 

Ok peeps, have a wonderful weekend and have some fun in your lives.

Warm and fuzzy hugs

Alex

I have a long way to go learning the subject to get to doing any of this skill to put out anything for a full moon or any fancy stuff. But who knows maybe one day I can. It would be nice to be able to do what these amazing astrologers do. But I do my stuff via tarot and to me adding astrology into the skill set gives me deeper insight to communicate to others.

The WingMakers stuff is not to be trusted. I have it all printed off from years ago, I also mentioned in a couple of posts the artwork is sinister and as a clairvoyant, I got very bad feelings from the artwork I looked through it years ago and have never gone back to look at it again because the energy is so bad. It has a dark psychological effect. Even the art shown in this article has a dark feeling to it.

Aww, how can these cute water teddy bears be mean and nasty and still look so cute? 

How bizarre is this?

 I am just lying in bed scrolling through my blog stats and Alice Cooper’s face suddenly appears in my head. I don’t even listen to his music. But I jumped on to google news and this article was just posted, (the top article). 

No idea why he popped into my head, music is definitely not my primary focus. I don’t listen to modern music very often either, and it is certainly not my first choice and definitely not metal or hard rock. 

Look up on the black header and see the time (24 minutes ago), I read the article and then thought I might as well post it here, lol.

Some good stuff here, with the last question in particular I highly recommend the books of Ralph Ellis. He goes into deep detail on the family bloodline and there are some rather interesting revelations.

Need a giggle or two?

 

Babies sleeping in prams outdoors in winter

 https://thenordics.com/trace/would-you-let-your-baby-nap-outside

This is not just a Nordic country thing, it’s all over northern Europe stretching as far as Russia to Scotland and Ireland and I assume the rest of Britain. My mother did this with my sibling and myself in the early sixties. It was common practice back then, I assume it still happens. We lived in an apartment up until I was about three years old. So children had to play down on the drying green in the courtyard back then. No supervision though! Older children would look after the younger children. 

It’s a totally different world now, so babies should not be left unattended unlike the old days, because it is irresponsible and dangerous, anything could happen such as falling out of the pram, suffocating, stopping breathing or even someone taking the baby. 

Fresh air and sunlight is very important in building up a healthy immune system in babies. Obviously you wrap them up warm and you don’t leave them outdoors for hours on end. Babies cannot regulate their body temperature, but parents dress their babies up warm for outdoors including woollen mittens and a woollen hat. We loose heat from the top of our heads and that is why one wears a woollen hat in winter. 

If it’s a bitter cold day obviously you don’t put your babies outside and risk hypothermia. One thing to remember also is the closer one lives to the attic circle the less daylight in winter. Which means a lack of vitamin D from sunlight. Depression is common in countries where there is very little sunlight in winter. This also causes poor growth due to the lack of sunlight and vitamin D. The lack of crops in winter also affects the diet of many living in these regions. So people have to be wise and prepare for the long cold winter weather. That includes getting fresh air and preventing health problems such as bronchitis or the flu. 

Even in Scotland, I remember it being dark at 4.00pm and pitch black by 5.00 pm where I lived in winter time and daylight was around 8.00 or 8.30am depending on the weather and if it was foggy or not. 

However come summer it is daylight anytime between 4.50 to 5.00 am up to 11.00 pm in summer. Where I live in Australia, in summer it is dark outside around 9.00 pm and daylight beings around 5.00 am. In winter we generally have blue skies and kids can enjoy playing outside.

I am surprised that American people were unaware of this health practice. But I don’t think I would risk leaving a baby outdoors in New York like this. It is a different culture to Nordic countries and a high crime rate. 

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/03/return-old-habits-babies-encouraged-sleep-outside-fresh-air/ 

The article above implies that it was once done in the UK, but most of the internet only mentions Nordic countries. So why is is being ignored that we British people also did this? My generation were all babies that were outside to sleep during the day unless the parents circumstances prevented it.

This article below is about SIDS and babies over heating. Cool temperatures are actually better for sleeping for everyone. But not freezing cold. Sensible pajamas and warm blankets but not a hot room.

Robots say they won't steal jobs, rebel against humans

 https://www.perthnow.com.au/technology/robots-say-they-wont-steal-jobs-rebel-against-humans-c-1121439

Interesting location for the event taking place, it reminds me of the story Frankenstein which part of it took place in Switzerland too. Not much of an article but it’s a definite Yeah, Nah for me. I don’t go in for stage managed publicity events that are desperately trying to up sell AI like a used car salesman. The words used are also ambiguous. Even the name SingularityNET that can be interpreted in several ways. Words can convey several different meanings to different people at the same moment as per design here. But nothing is coincidence here, this as you can see is guiding us into the singularity agenda and transhumanism. 

Notice the robots seem mostly female too, this is a subtle hint that women/motherhood is being pushed aside for a new creation that is against nature and creation. I am not meaning as is a biblical sense just the natural world as it co-creates biologically. 

For something to be created and patented it must be adhere to the laws and regulations set out as per the link below.

I did not miss the colours and other symbolism in the top photograph in the article because it stands out like a sore thumb to anyone with eyes that read symbols. That is the first things to look at in a photo or at important events, subtle symbolism is always there. To me it is what I expected to see

Genderless Ameca , the skin colour implies gender neutral. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameca_(robot)

Grey in the tarot cards represents spiritual energy or the presence of spirit. It is also a neutral colour rather bland. As a name, Ameca in one translation can mean gift from god in Jamaican. You can keep this particular gift thanks! 

Interesting fact on the origin of the word Robot 

https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/origin-word-robot-rur/#:~:text=The%20word%20itself%20derives%20from,were%20neither%20metallic%20nor%20mechanical.

The Czech play that gave us the word Robot. If you remove spirit from humanity then you get a biological robot without any spirituality and compassion, love and respect for all life and spirituality. Therefore a being that doesn’t value life and individuality.

Gemstones for the Medical Profession

 https://www.gemselect.com/other-info/gems-for-the-medical-profession.php

I was thinking about this today and thought this might be very useful for someone as crystals are enjoying a bit more of a revival at present. Remember the 1990’s being a popular era for crystals? They haven’t gone away though more like just in the background for a while but it is good to see a resurgence of these gorgeous crystals. They have a vast range of uses and fit into many lifestyles and environments and occupations. 

Some people just like to display crystals in their homes and offices, but wearing them has a double feature, their beauty as jewellery and their energy which is beneficial for the wearer. Clear quartz is a versatile crystal as it is an amplifier of energy and a master healer. I always wear a double terminated clear quartz and never work without it.

A breakthrough in my Astrology studies

 Yesterday I made a bit of a breakthrough in studying astrology. I now realise that I should have taken the plunge many years ago. Because I was under the false assumption that it would be too difficult for me to learn and I had never bought or even looked at a basic book on learning about astrology. 

Having dyscalculia and other learning difficulties I automatically assumed that there would be no possible way that I would be able to do this. I was wrong I have made progress, I understand what I am learning and I am very passionate about the subject. I’m so glad that I took the plunge into this subject. I just wish that I had done so twenty or even forty years ago. But everything comes down to timing. And when the student is ready the teacher appears.

I actually put off learning the Tarot cards out of fear for twenty years and a lack of faith in myself. But when I have a gift that is to be shared with humanity out of unconditional love then events are put into place by spirit to give one the courage and faith to be able to have confidence and courage to be able to carry out the mission and purpose for being given these gifts or abilities.

For a few months I have been anxious and fearful because of my fears of not being good enough to do this  calling. Having grown up as a child that was treated as a joke or a failure; life has never been easy for me.

My sibling sailed through life and was the favourite where I was seen as a joke. Well I have kept my faith in spirit and have always tried to be a good person and now I look back at from the moment that I picked up first deck of Tarot cards to where I am today and think well I managed to do this all on my own.

That was because I felt so strongly about the Tarot cards and understood that this is a spiritual journey and calling to help others. It’s not about me and never has been, it’s about humanity and spirit within humanity. Astrology is also part of the calling. I just didn’t know that until I started getting a strong pull towards it. The team behind me in spirit helping me every step of the way. I have no idea what will happen with all of this and turning 60 in a few weeks I think to myself why at this age? Other people are retiring and here I am moving into this.

I understand that I am merely a tool for spirit to help others and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity. But again why me and why when I am getting old and having health problems. 

I guess the thing to do is just get on with it and don’t overthink everything as I normally do. If one person benefits from this then it is worth it. I do get great happiness out of helping others and seeing them happy. I know what it feels like to be unhappy and depressed, but to bring happiness and hope to someone is in itself a gift. I feel joy to see happiness in others. 

So I pray that my studies will provide that opportunity to give to humanity and also prove to myself that I must have faith and confidence in myself, not to be put of by naysayers and just do what I am here for. I am getting much happiness in learning and will enjoy explaining and demystifying astrology to people in the future. One thing I keep in mind is, if I can do this then anyone can. If you have learning difficulties like I do then you will understand where I am coming from. 

You have to develop faith in yourself because nobody will give you the faith and trust you need, you must do it for yourself. Do not give in because others think it's a waste of time or you won't be any good at it. Please be courageous enough to live on your own terms and carry out your life’s mission. 

I now understand the dream that I had when the old men saluted me. I was baffled by the dream and it had me worried for the future.

So if you feel a pull towards a particular form of employment or anything else then listen to your heart and give it a try.

I’m sick at present with a pesky sinus infection again

 It’s that time of year again for me. Laid low with a sinus infection again! So over it, I usually thrive in winter as I don’t like the heat in summer. But in recent years I have a habit of getting sinus infections with a thumping headache that accompanies it. Just before lockdown I was getting them one after the other. 

The past week they are back again alongside a cough like a smoker, a sore throat and swollen glands. I have managed to get to July relatively healthy but now the wheels have fallen off my trolley 😳 I have a bit of a wait to see my doctor for antibiotics. So I am just taking it easy for now and hopefully I will be back to normal soon. Tissue manufacturers must do a roaring trade through winter with everyone blowing their noses. I am churning through the tissues presently.

Full Buck Moon tonight

 Tonight is the night to put your crystals out in the moon light to charge. However it may be quite cloudy overnight. 

I think I will just wash mine in water and smudge them because I don’t fancy going out in the freezing night air. We are expecting rain tomorrow too so my advice if you live locally is just wash your crystals under the cold tap and if inclined; smudge them too especially if other people touch them. 

Warm and fuzzy hugs 🤗 🤗🤗

Funny meme and memories

 This made me LOL, I remember many years ago when my house was being extended and at the end of a work day one of the tradies (tradesmen) had left our gate open. It was a cold winter night and I suddenly realised that out Jack Russell, Sparky was missing. 

His nickname was Puss, and that came about because as a puppy he had gone under my bed and wouldn’t come out. I was in a hurry to pick my small children up from school and this was just what I didn’t need.

So after trying to coax Sparky with different sounds I just went Puss, Puss, Puss and he came bolting out and ran to me. I laughed and thought, no way. So I did it again and sure enough he responded.

So after that we all called him Puss as his nickname. Anyway back to the story, this night he was missing in action, I went around the streets looking for him calling Puss, Puss, Puss. And all these cats came from all directions 🤣🤣🤣🐈. It’s amazing what we don’t know goes on after dark with animals. All of these cats around me, heaps of them. There is me saying, no I am not looking for you guys. 

Quickly distancing myself from all these cats that had been distracted from their nocturnal social activities. Eventually I decided to go home. And then I thought what about looking under the house. Sure enough. He was right at the little door trapped and waiting to be rescued. Poor little Sparky, he obviously had followed a tradie under the house at some point in the late afternoon and the man was unaware. 

Just as well it wasn’t summer, just imagine being in a small crawl space in shorts and a cold wet nose touches your read end. A sudden jolt in shock and a bang on the head from the wooden beams inches above you, lol.

Science Alert: Which Dog Breeds Are Most Sensitive to Pain? The Results Might Surprise You

 https://www.sciencealert.com/which-dog-breeds-are-most-sensitive-to-pain-the-results-might-surprise-you

Interesting finding, I thought that all dogs reacted similarly, but then humans vary in pain tolerance so why not other species. Animals can also hide their pain as a survival instinct. Cats definitely do, having seen my four cats going through cancer and other illnesses. 

One item of bedding has more bacteria than a toilet seat, according to a new study

 https://honey.nine.com.au/living/study-reveals-bedding-item-has-more-bacteria-than-a-toilet-seat-sheets-pillowcase/b11aa781-4276-438b-92cc-3141cfc7cdb6

Shock and horror! The deadly pillow slip! Most people have a shower every day including washing their hair. We also tend to wash the sheets once a week. I have never met anyone that doesn’t wash their sheets weekly. In Australia many tradesmen and especially builders have a shower every day after work. 

I don’t know if this is the same in other countries like the northern hemisphere nations but Aussies love a shower. Reading this article it sounds like scare mongering. Think of the size of the world population and how many people die from cooties. Many laundry detergent have antibacterial properties and the sun also kills bacteria on clothing and sheets. Failing that a dryer is going to take care of any nasty bugs or cooties 😃

People sleep in bed with their beloved dogs and cats too and there isn’t a problem. As long as our fur babies are free from fleas and the bedding is washed weekly then everything is fine. Think about poor countries and families that are often raised in the least healthy environments and survive.

When it comes to hygiene the past few years have had very little effect on people’s hygiene in public. People are going back to the same old habits. I for one am very particular about hygiene when I am out somewhere and coming home again. 

When it comes to antibiotic resistance there is olive leaf extract that is anti bacterial, anti microbial and anti fungal. Black seed oil (nigella sativa) is another option.

Please read this and read the side effects by clicking on the little green box on the right. Always tell your doctor of your intentions to use any alternative medicine prior to taking it because it may interfere with medication you’re currently taking. You can also discuss with your pharmacist what natural supplements interact with your medication generally they are more likely to be aware of any potential effects of medication reacting with natural remedies. 

Ideally during and after a course of antibiotics you should always take a good quality refrigerated probiotic. Buy from a health food store and buy the refrigerator brands because they are the best to use. If in doubt ask the shop assistant for advice. I have been aware of the importance of taking probiotics since the mid 1980’s as I often frequented naturopaths and health food shops since I started working. 

WES PENRE: CYBORG SOLDIER 2050: HUMAN/MACHINE FUSION AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE DOD

 https://wespenrevideos.com/2023/06/30/cyborg-soldier-2050-human-machine-fusion-and-the-implications-for-the-future-of-the-dod/

Not everything is guaranteed when it comes to this particular topic only time will tell. What will be is up to humanity to decide not a corporation or a government. Every human being has the right to decide what is best for humanity because this would affect everyone potentially. 

Do we have to be reactionary?

 Rather than being reactionary in the negative about another person’s opinions, comments or actions. Step back from the situation and look at what your response is. Is your response justified or perhaps you may have misinterpreted the comment or actions. Are you taking on the energy of a person that is perceived as negative?  Can you pull back on your emotions and not engage negatively in the situation, to not be caught up in the cycle? 

Think about what benefits you by not responding with anger. How hard is it in a split second to just refocus your response; to de-escalate your emotions and response to something that you normally would be  quick to anger? Set the intention of retraining yourself to think about how to respond to something that might provoke a negative emotional reaction.

This takes great effort and deliberate control over your instinctual response not to inflame yourself. Perhaps you are being lead to react to a situation in a hostile way, not for your benefit but for others to provoke a hostile response. Either way; being non reactive it is something that an individual must learn to do in order to have a more healthy mindset. Think first about what you hear or see, and then formulate a response that does not reflect poorly upon yourself. Over thinking the issue is also something that must be addressed, because to dwell on the issue may cause you to go into an unhealthy mindset and this doesn’t benefit you one bit. 

From a mental health perspective as well as one’s general health, anger is an unhealthy energy to create within yourself. No matter what the source of anger or upset is, it never benefits you. It may benefit others to see you upset and therefore not just is your negative emotions causing you distress but the others may enjoy seeing you hurt. Your distressed energy feeds egos but starves you of emotional nourishment and spiritual growth. 

One must be forever mindful of the power and effect of strong emotions and the harmful unintended effects within us. Reactionary mindsets are distracted mindsets, unable to quickly assess the moment and maintain a dignified equilibrium. Practicing serenity and calm confidence does not always come naturally for many people, however it can be achieved through meditation and focus on calm logic. A wise person is rarely in distress, they exude calm confidence and rationale when faced with negative challenges. 

The key to being less reactive and more relaxed is through practicing mindfulness, wisdom and self discipline. Be your own little Buddha by going within regularly to observe your thoughts and feelings honestly, seek the higher wisdom from within. From a place of grace and stillness to live in accordance with your inner peace and harmony. This is the challenge, we must strive for by mindful attention to our inner world. Learn to bring forth that confidence and wisdom into daily life to guide you through moments where you may normally feel anger towards others and hold the calmness, giving yourself time to be composed without the usual instinctive reactionary instinct.

Warm and fuzzy hugs 🤗

The 3rd of July full moon is a super moon and knowing as a Buck Moon. 

Don’t forget to charge your crystals, if you are unable to put your crystals out in the moon light you can run them under the cold tap, bathe them in salt or smudge them with white sage. 

Smudging your crystals is perhaps the best alternative to the full moon because you are clearing the energy. Sort of jump starting your precious crystals and you’re infusing them with your loving energy.

Harmful bacteria is lurking in your dirty tea towels: Here's how to clean them properly

 https://honey.nine.com.au/living/cleaning-tips-dirty-tea-towels-breeding-ground-for-bacteria-how-to/611a75d1-c5bc-4225-84b5-09eb5ae88830

I can’t believe people need to be told this, omg. Sunlight also kills bacteria, luckily for us in Australia we get plenty sunlight. I change my tea towel every two days, I also hang the one in use up where it can dry easily. Washing your hands with soap and water before handling any food is basic hygiene and common sense. Never do food prep without washing your hands thoroughly. 

Do remember though there are good bacteria that we need to help with our immune system. When cleaning up surfaces you don’t need to use bleach or anything harsh that kills 99% of the bacteria. Unless you have a very busy household where everyone is in and out the kitchen constantly. Chopping boards though need to be disinfected after use. A wooden chopping board with cracks get rid of because harmful bacteria gets into the cracks. 

One thing that people might forget is washing out a dish cloth that you wash dishes with. Especially if it’s left wet in a scrunched ball. These need to be soaked in a disinfectant like Vanish or a solution of bleach. Cotton dish cloths can be bleached back to being white like new. Then through the washing machine. Even towels are supposed to be washed every three days to prevent bacteria forming. 

These are the basic things that we learned in high school when I was young. The home science or home economics classes taught this from the moment we started high school and we were constantly reminded of hygiene.

August 23 to 15 September and then December 13 to 1 January 2024. Hurumph! Just stay in bed. You just gotta laugh at these thing’s really even  though it can be very serious. 

I should just apologise now for what I might do or say before I do it 🤣🤣  that’s how it usually goes. Guaranteed, I will always be the person that steps in dog poo at any given time as it is, lol. 

Expect, mechanical, electrical and technology to go belly up. Foot in mouth syndrome; when we miscommunicate and general gremlins in our lives. Three week blocks of misery, yea boy! Notice it is also through Christmas time as well.  What a great Christmas present for everyone, how long before the fight starts? 

Whatever you do avoid playing monopoly because we all know what happens with that game 🤣🤣🤣 Someone wants Park Lane or Mayfair and it’s game on. Let’s not forget the full moon on top of this every month. 🤣🤣🤣

I prefer to keep a sense of humour at these times, ain’t nothing we can do about it other than just roll with it. Try to find some humour in the moment rather than go to ground with a FML outlook 🤦‍♀️

Finally Julian’s family has some closure on what happened to him. Very sad indeed, I do hope that both he and his family can achieve some peace and healing over this tragedy.

Today just for fun I googled  psychic predictions for Australia in 2023. I discovered that I have moved up a notch but also Google is not displaying the number page as from today. That's a bummer, including sponsored pages I sit at number 13 for Australin predictions.

I do 2 sets of predictions every year in October! One is for Australia and one is for the world.

So they stand from the date published to the following year. Yes we psychics' can sometimes have a prediction a year or two out of synch. We don't know why that is other than time being fluid and never a fixed thing.  

Silly Saturday

Actually this is incorrect, it was John Waters that was on play school. John Jarratt’s former wife Noni Hazelhurst was on play school too. The jokes loses its charm by this fact. 

 

Have a great weekend everyone, laugh out loud and laugh often, life’s too short so make sure you squeeze out some laughter.

Wes Penre: The Orion book Q and A #18

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Orion-Book-QA-Session-19.pdf

This has been sitting in my emails since yesterday morning. I finally remembered to stick it on my blog. But just before that. I had this urge to google Rudolph Steiner, and came across this article on blood. It seems to resonate with this Wes Penre Q and A 

https://rsarchive.org/Lectures/OccBld_index.html

The occult significance of blood 🩸 

Notice right at the end of Rudolph Steiner’s article it says clairvoyance is diminished if the blood is not compatible! Very interesting, O negative is the psychic bloodline. My father is an O negative and my mother was A positive, yet I am born A positive but I am not just clairvoyant I have seven different Clairs’ as reflected on my introduction on this blog. 

Quote: Rudolph Steiner 

 We have seen that blood united to blood in the case of but remotely connected species of animals, kills; blood united to blood in the case of more closely allied species of animals does not kill. The physical organism of man survives when strange blood comes in contact with strange blood, [except, of course, in the case of incompatible blood types, which mutually coagulate one another] but clairvoyant power perishes under the influence of this mixing of blood, or exogamy.

Tarot Card of The Month: July 2023, The Wheel of Fortune

 

July looks to be a very important month. A life changing or life altering destiny changing month for the enitre world.  I feel a lot of this is legal changes that are very serious and possibly grave for many people. Science is also affected somehow, that could be in such areas as physics, boilogy and genetics.

Now starting with the card number, the number one stands for the originator, creation,the birthing of someone or something, originality, novice, beginings, standing out from others, creativity, individuality, leadership, force, spiritual forces, 

The zero is the force of the universe, embryo,  the egg, as in new life

The number 10 represents wholeness, consumation, denouncement, completion, permanence, karma, responsibilities, renewals, community, reaping and harvesting, realization, preperation for a new cycle, extremes, decay, amplification.

This is dynamic action so keep alert and watch, this covers a lifetime or an era.  Remember that I said in the 2023 psychic predictions this is the dawn of a new era? This is it officially beginning, watch carefully everything that is happening right now. I feel there are very serious consequences for humanity here. 

July is the seventh month of the calandar year, it is the 4th house in astrology flat wheel, of which the zodiac sign is Cancer and the ruling planet is the Moon. Cancer is a cardinal sign and it is Angular ( as in the three qualities; angular, suceedent and cadent).  Keep this in mind, because the tarot cards are powerful and have astrology embeded in every card in the deck for a reason. Angular means it is a house of action.

The fourth house of the zodiac relates to the self, it's emotional, nurturing and focuses on domestic life. The key phrase is; I feel, its key word is devotion. It is also a water sign, meaning ruled by the element of water.  

The moon rules emotions, the  feminine principle, intuition, instincts, moods, tides, phases (phases of the lunar cycles), receptivity, fluctuations, habit patterns, feelings, reflex actions. Now think of Ukraine, China, Africa (Uganda), the US, tensions especially. This is very emotional and confrontational happenings.

The moon covers personal interests, desires, needs, magnetism, growth, (I pick up Ron deSantis here). The need to touch (tactile), impressionability and consciousness. The moon rules liquids, so think petrol, chemicals, water, alcohol being in the news in different ways, such as with water the military and especialy navy and airforce or naval aircrafts.

The moon also rules sailing, brewing, nursing ( blood and body fluids), trades people and the general public. Remember the human body is 70% water, we are emotional beings, so watch out for emotions being high as in anger and volatility 

Now as for the tarot card of the month (TCOM) The clouds on this card have parted showing a bright blue sky, That blue connects to human consciousness, the heart chakra and emotions. It is a healing colour and it also represents authority too. Notice the strange read deamon looking being at the bottom of the wheel. He is called the Hermanubis or a Jackle, behind him is a snake or  serpant. The wheel is moving fast in this card, it shows the four cardinal points of direction, just like the astrology flat wheel. Notice that as I started the TCOM I brought in the 4th house of the zodiac? That is always in the tarot cards as Arthur Waite intended, so it is doubly emphasised here to start with.

July looks like an interesting month of contradictions; among the changes are health, science, aviation, air travel and welfare, emotions of the masses are very stressed also. Despite it being summer in the northern hemisphere and happiness is indicated, it is only to a point. People are feeling the pinch of the cost of living in many ways. Not just financially but emotionally too, such as domestic violence, mental helath decline, violent crimes are on the rise.

I hear the word "retaliation " in regards to things in the US, the UK, parts of Europe, India, South East Asia, China and Africa. Tensions are rising under the surface and about to escalate.

There is something lurking in the shadows, so please be very alert. I feel there are three shocks in store for all of us, in health, (globaly), and finance. Fasten your seat-belts because it could be rather bumpy.

I am being drawn to Ukraine by my guides, there seems to be an uninended escalation being carried out. A shock announcement relating to water, gas and nuclear power. People are on edge and don't know what to do or what to believe. I also feel something causing delays or problems with food deliveries, availability  and afordability. Stay with this because it may affect everyone! This feels very politically motivated and possibly to do with trade agreement issues, mind games and brinksmanship games employed.

This on top of price hikes, the governments need to take drastic action to stop this getting out of hand, because it may well spiral out of control. The blame rests on one particular group on a global scale, yet they play the blame game on factions or opposing sides. This in fact is quite illusionary because this group controls both sides or factions. I am being shown an old grey haired man with glasses, he is strictly  about money, power over others and he is a very angry natured person despite his luxurious family background. This man frequently uses fear and intimidation on those beneath him." His time will come" is what I hear from my guides.

This is not in his favour though; I feel people around him feel he has gone too far and are warning him. This time they will step in and make him reconsider his actions, because they will be explosive if allowed to be put into action. Resulting in a huge backfire of power. This old man no longer cares though, he feels he has nothing to lose.

Laws are changing, new laws are being drawn up, and this is exactly the New Dawn of the era that I spoke of when I did my psychic predictions in October last year. This is a tyranny that is dawning!

People refused to heed the global warnings put out by experts. This is now the price of ignoring those warnings, it is divisive and cutting. This is a social divide, very sadly, it is a divide so grossly uneven and polarising for every man, woman and child. This is only the start. It covers both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. A dark feeling comes over me as I look at the card the more I look at that red deamon or Hermanubis, I feel he is moving into an upswing out of the shadows. This represents the dark side of humanity emerging again.

The serpent or snake represents spiritual wisdom, yet here it seems to be lagging behind, suppressed as  the dark energy rises. This is not a good change, and it will take about three years to feel the full effect of this destructive influence on humanity. I get the feeling of an "OMG, what have we done?"

But, this is not the fault of ordinary people here. This is the fault of those that set the trap for all of us.

Those that call the shots, you may refer to them as Overlords, yet that is too kind a word to use for these monstrous individuals. They have a dark and deep seated hatred of humanity as a whole and for all life on earth. Yet people refuse to see the reality until it is way too late.

The harm unleashed is beyond the wild expectations of even these insatiable individuals. Not satisfied with two horrific world wars. This one will be too horrible for words, and in  three years time the world will be in great pearl again. "Pity those that survive! Yet uphold the blame on those that designed this in Paris."

This is the words used by my guides as I am working on this card and these are the guides that are also helping me with my astrology lessons. I am also informed that my TCOM will change very soon on a deeper level for my spiritual understanding within me to be able to teach.  I feel that may be as in teach myself deeper spiritual gnosis. Not nessessarily to teach the public, but who knows to be honest. I have no idea of where this is all taking me, I just go with the flow.

Take great care of each other, and hold love and compassion in your hearts for all life.

Warm and Fuzzy hugs

Alex

PS: The full moon is on 3 July and it’s a Super Moon or Buck Moon.

GEMS AUSTRALIA

I have been after a new Jade bangle for a few months, I had to break the old one because it was affecting my circulation. Actually this is now my third Jade bangle, because I accidentally broke my original  by bumping it on a wall. I have been combing the internet for an Australian website that sells Jade bangles. So today I found this beautiful website with heaps of treasures. A girl could go nuts on this website honestly.

I am over the moon at discovering this website, and the lady went out of her way to help me get the right size of bangle. I am so appreciative and can’t wait for my precious bangle to arrive in the mail. I don’t like being without a Jade bangle.

There are two things that I need as far as jewelry goes, Pearls and Jade. Now I am a happy camper, woo hoo! 

Thank you Gems Australia 😻😻

23 July update, my Jade bangle arrived from sunny Queensland this morning and I am delighted. Now rocking my lovely trinket ❤️

Kyanite crystal

 https://tinyrituals.co/blogs/tiny-rituals/kyanite-meaning-healing-properties-everyday-uses

I happened to find one of these little guys in my office a few days ago while having a rummage, as one does. I have had  this little crystal for years, inside one of those little bags of stones and herbs for spiritual protection that a friend gave me. I had opened the little bag to see what was in it and discovered this little crystal. A pale blue and white finger length flake of kyanite. It has a really nice feel to it and very attractive looking. 

I didn’t look up its properties until just now, so here is a website with some information to share. I see why I was attracted to it, it has an affinity with Librans.

The times we are living in 😳 A warning to older people especially because many older people are not tech savvy. They rely on family members to help them with technology and buying things online or fixing their computers and phones when something goes wrong. 

Feng Shui: Bamboo and Jade plants

 Bamboo plants are great for attracting money and improving your finances including a home business.

The number of bamboo stems is important depending on what you’re doing. The money corner of your house is the south east, so you may want to put a bamboo plant on a table or shelf in that area. 

If you have a home office then it would be beneficial to place a bamboo plant in there too.

This link tells you what the numbers mean from one to twenty-one. 

Planet in the bedroom is not a good idea for Feng Shui, not all websites agree on this so use your own judgement. I personally don’t have plants in my bedroom. This website below also says don’t put plants in the bedroom.

Jade plants, just a reminder to people in cold areas that get frost, Jade is not a frost tolerant plant. It will die immediately in frost. Keep it indoors or under cover. I have jade on my front porch that has been there for years through heat and freezing cold weather. It has a roof and a wall protecting it from frost. On my back veranda the jade is sheltered from frost and is quite hardy.

Go nuts with plants that are good for Feng Shui 😻🎋🎍by the way Pothos is the devils ivy plant. That’s a great plant that can grow rapidly if you aren’t careful. 30 years ago I lugged a big devils ivy plant in a fancy pot home on a busy train for my mum’s birthday, she had it until she died.

A Rare Planetary Alignment Is About to Happen This Week: Here's How to See It

 https://www.businessinsider.com/planets-align-how-to-watch-where-when-023-6

Bags not getting up at the crack of dawn to watch. While it is exciting to see I will wait for the news footage. It will be freezing cold in Canberra and I am too old to get up to see the event. It is an important astrological event as well as a scientific event. 

Invest in yourself

 Invest in yourself, because you rob yourself if you invest in others. Invest in your faith to be the best you can be and don’t compromise. You matter as much as everyone else, but if you fail to see this then others too will fail to see you. Perhaps that suits them perfectly, to see you fail. You are where you are at this point in life because of your thoughts and beliefs. That energy invested depends on your own self worth. 

So push it, but be patient and focus your energy and intentions on the results that you believe you can accomplish. Don’t water down your focus and beliefs to suit others, because that is the path to disappointment. Keep your intentions realistic and you goals achievable; so that you monitor your progress. You are not seeking the approval of others, you are seeking approval from yourself, so invest in yourself and let your light shine forth. Your energy will attract the right people and situations that are beneficial to your future. 

Feng Shui

 It’s been a long time since I had a look at Feng Shui, long before I started reading the tarot cards in fact I  had an interest in Feng Shui. Suddenly it has come back into my life again. Everything happens for a reason they say, and I have been finding things that I had put away years ago and now bringing them back out again. Plus adding new Feng Shui pieces to add to my house. As a gardener I love plants so I have a lot of Jade plants in pots around the veranda, both out the back and at my front door. I love propagating plants but especially harmonious plants such as jade. I have bought sacred bamboo plants and will propagate them in time. Feng Shui friendly plants make great house gifts too. So I can eventually give friends and relatives something nice for their homes. 

I have come across some really good websites for learning about Feng Shui, even though I have a little book on the basics. I wanted to pick up a few more helpful tips and love to share information with likeminded people on my blog. I figured if it brings me pleasure and happiness then I aught to share the information. 

Things such as lucky Feng Shui coins, and the numbers of coins with their meanings, lucky money frogs or three legged money toads as they are known; are beneficial to improving the lives of people who have a belief in Feng Shui and how it benefits us. The elements which govern the placement of objects, furniture etc is understood to be vital for success in life and career development. One thing that I noticed on various websites though is the websites don’t always agree on the money toad/frog placement at the front door, some say face it outwards facing the outside and others say face the frog inwards. I think inwards is the way to go, also as one website says point the toad towards the wealth corner of your home. Also please bear in mind if you live in the southern hemisphere you have to take that into consideration as there are minor adjustments to be made. 

For difficulties a mirror is the usual remedy, such as at the front door if you have a tree in line with the door you place a convex mirror above the door to deflect negative chi. In a home office where you face a wall and or can’t move your desk to a better position then a mirror is used to correct the chi.

There is a link called shop, which gives a list of items for sale including the lucky money toad.

I like the spruce website for handy info on Feng Shui but there are heaps of websites dedicated to the art.shop around on line for a good price on all the decorations and must have items for your personal needs to get the vibes just right. 

https://www.magicbricks.com/blog/chinese-coins-feng-shui/124054.html

Using Feng Shui coins and how many coins to use for different purposes. Again I notice the number of coins can vary depending on which website you visit. Nine coins is reputed to be the best and highest number for prosperity and abundance, yet some say ten is. So you should read several websites or books on the subject and also what resonates with you personally. All numbers carry different vibrations so you need to focus on what you want to achieve. Set your intentions and go with it and wait for the results, if you need to adjust then so be it, you know what is best for you. It does take a few weeks to feel the results according to what the experts say, so it is not an instant fix. Energy is something that takes time to work just like spiritual healing. Feng Shui is a form of healing in some respects as it corrects the flow of energy.

Oldest Signs of Human Ancestors' Trek to Australia Found in Laotian Cave

What a good read! There are still so many things that we have still to discover too. Even under the oceans of the world and Antartica under the ice.
