Pre Raphaelite Art Appreciation

 Any fans of Pre-Raphaelite art out there? I really love this old art of the Victorian and early Edwardian era, The colours and subject matter are so romantic and speak to my soul. I have pictures hanging up in my home office and Tarot bags on the theme too. Modern art doesn't speak to me the same way as this art. I visualise an artist studio with plenty sunlight streaming through the windows and a leafy green garden with lush green trees near the window for inspiration. Leadlight glass panes on the windows and a leadlight lamp in the room somewhere. To me these things go together with the era, and I love leadlight windows and lighting.  

I would prefer botanical art in modern paintings or something nature based. But this Pre-Raphaelite art has such a strong pull for me. I do feel a strong pull towards the mythical and whimsical elements of the art of this genre as it moved into the early 20th century. This style of painting is evocative in its beauty, elegance and the mystical  all wrapped in one package. 

 Midsummer's Eve by Robert Hughes and John William Waterhouse's famous Lady of Shallot painting,  are sitting above my computer as I type this. So feminine and a sense of a magical time in art where romance meets esoteric mysticism in a big way. Modern art cannot possibly evoke the same wonder in me like the Pre Raphaelite art does, no disrespect intended here, it’s just my personal preference in art. 

           

                                                                     Midsummer's Eve by Robert Hughes

                                                            The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse

                                               The Accolade by Edmund Blair Leighton 

Ophelia by J W Waterhouse

The vibrant colours of the John Everett Millais version of Ophelia  

The Ophelia paintings come in various versions by different artists.

All of the Pre-Raphaelite paintings are  beautiful, deeply evocative and esoteric, though loved by many for their sheer beauty alone. To me it is a visual mystical poetry of times gone by, by both the artists and the era. The times they depict and  how they make me feel from a modern times standpoint is hard to put in words. These artists were most definitely very privileged individuals not just in talent but from backgrounds that could afford to provide the artists with the means to create these wonders. 

 

The esoteric wisdom that each artist possesses is not unlike those on a metaphysical path that are immersed in the symbolism of the Tarot. But the sheer beauty that an artist creates on canvas is unsurpassed for beauty, wisdom and human experience that most of humanity never gets a chance to experience on a deep personal level. However, they can get a brief glimpse into this amazing transcendental world  by studying the beautiful artworks in a gallery, a book, poster or just on good old Google. 

The more one looks at the images the deeper they speak to the subconscious mind in subtle ways which I feel are beneficial to humans on a spiritual level, not just beautiful art for the sake of it. 

I hope these pictures may spark an interest in someone that is seeing them for the first time. 

There are hundreds of images on Google images if you just type in " Pre Raphaelite art". From there click on the images and read about the individual artists. I do hope that there is someone with a curiosity for this beautiful art that becomes passionate about this genre and benefits from this simple little post. 

Warm and fuzzy hugs,

Alex

 

Shocking footage shows elderly man allegedly bashed by teens outside Brisbane shopping centre

https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/crime/shocking-footage-shows-elderly-man-allegedly-bashed-by-teens-outside-brisbane-shopping-centre/news-story/276325b175f9b92f514293741e5b4167 

Bloody disgusting, put the damn phone down and help out. Doing nothing but filming is no different to being a voyeur. People as usual stand by and do nothing, only one man was decent enough to help the victim. How many more people have to be seriously injured or murdered before people are willing to take this to parliament? The voters have the power to force change on the government, it’s not bloody negotiable.  If the government doesn’t comply with the public will,  then demand their resignation. And clearly the government’s, state and federal rarely does as the voters ask. 

How about our politicians grow a pair of balls, we have had to put up with this violence for years around the country and nothing is ever done. Lip service comes from the cowards in government, and the gutter mainstream media whips people up into a frenzy to sell newspapers, but never offers any solutions as usual. No, the mainstream media just like to shit stir and criticise the few members of the public who are demanding that the laws are changed to punish criminals. It’s way past time for snowflake, Australian politicians to act like real men and change the laws. You politicians are not respected, you are despised by the decent citizens of the nation. 

Bullshit, there is an easy solution, you are just too bloody gutless to do anything because you are a cowardly wimp. We are sick of weak snowflake cowards running our country into the gutter. Maybe we don’t want to live in the filthy gutter like politicians do. Maybe most of society wants to live in civilisation, do your damn job and man up. 

Fines for breaking Covid rules could be cancelled after major NSW Supreme Court decision

 https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/call-to-scrap-29000-covid-fines-after-major-nsw-supreme-court-decision/news-story/cc5b3fd80858e4dddddc8f564e8268af

Astounding, the government has made screw up after screw up with the entire pandemic affecting thousands of people. If you are going to implement fines, get your facts and laws correct first. This shows absolute incompetence at the highest levels of government from the get go. The commissioner is not above the law either, he must obey the laws that he is supposed to abide by failing to do so shows disregard for the rules and the loss of public trust. 

This is also highlighting the amount of people who clearly don’t care about spreading infectious diseases.Two wrongs clearly don’t make a right and here we are in 2024 and we can’t eradicate the virus because of ignorant selfish people. Not just that, people have gone back to their same old filthy poor hygiene practices. Nothing was learned by this whole pandemic because people are just too selfish and ignorant.

It may have been wrong to have a global lockdown, but Australia had it all under control until morons started bitching and whining about discrimination, and the moronic government gave in. We all know what happened after that. Then BoJo in the UK with his stupid “let it rip” mentality, which caused it to snowball yet again.  BoJo,  more like Bozo the clown, didn’t even obey the rules himself like many other politicians globally whose photographs are on line and date stamped showing them at political gatherings with other world leaders and not social distancing or wearing masks. Two things are clear here, the virus is not deadly to most people, and the economy has been damaged by idiots hell bent on destroying the economy globally to force us into a dangerous digital economy. 

Regardless of the pandemic’s origin, it’s the lack of proper government regulation and legal enforcement that is to be questioned. Who’s to be blamed and held accountable for the mismanagement and incompetence? There has to be some proper accountability written into law to prevent screw ups like this in future. 

Also if it was really unnecessary to have lockdowns in the first place then what about the damage to the public’s mental health and especially the vulnerable people in society? What about those that took their own lives because of this, and the people who died (often alone and isolated) that were denied a proper funeral and for loved ones to say goodbye to their loved ones. That has a terrible legacy psychologically and this must never be forgotten or forgiven. I will never forget that 8 year old little boy in Italy who died and his parents were denied the right to say goodbye to him and hold a proper funeral for him. 

These politicians must be held publicly and personally accountable for their actions. The same with NGO’s that act like little gods, pushing governments into doing their bidding. These so called non government officials that are unelected should have no say in these situations. They are private citizens working for a corporation or organisation and they have made grave errors. 

This is the world that our grandchildren have inherited because of selfish interests and stupid people not questioning authority enough and demanding accountability. There must always be accountability and responsibility for actions taken.

Wes Penre: Q and A Session 1 March 2024

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/QA-Session-1-March-2024.pdf

I can’t say that I agree completely with the exit points in a person’s life starting around the age of 27, because there are babies and small children who die for what can be SIDS or other reasons. Not all children stay in the physical world when they arrive. We don’t always know why this happens in the case of SIDS. I have heard it said, that a child has up to the age of five years old to decide if they want to stay or not. However I don’t believe that, this was spouted as truth at a spiritual church that I briefly attended. I thought at the time, where is the proof of this? Unsubstantiated claims should not be taken seriously. 

Astrologically no one can predict a death either, it is only after the fact that one can look at the individual birth chard and one must have the exact time of birth to make a natal chart, then what planets were in each house at the exact time of death. There the specific planets may shed a light on what body parts are affected. This is not an easy task to accomplish either one must be a professional astrologer to offer the possibilities that contribute to the death. 

Tarot cards can show deaths, however a responsible reader doesn’t reveal such things. Only perhaps if the client is aware and asks specifically if  a loved one that is very ill or very old is about to pass. Because, they know it is inevitable and will usually say they are not expecting the person to be around much longer. I usually try to avoid these situations as I don’t like giving a person such upsetting information. 

Even as a medium a person is not always privy to when a person dies, we can feel that a particular person is going to pass away and we should not tell the person or loved ones. Because that is immoral and just outright wrong. I have had this done to me about one of my children and I was very angry about this. It had a terrible effect on my family. This person telling me about this death used to be a friend too. Do not allow anyone to blurt out such a horrible thing to you, ever. That is an act of an extremely wicked ego. 

One final comment I would like to make is , I do not in any way endorse anyone that Wes mentions as I do feel the energy of these people and I do not like their energy one bit. Which I have told Wes personally and for him to be very careful in whom he trusts. He is very well meaning and is trying to provide people with good information to the best of his abilities and I respect that. 

Some humour after a hectic week

 Hello to everyone around the world, I love looking at the little map in my stats to see what countries people are from because I truly appreciate you all stopping by and it is always rather exciting to engage people around the planet whether it is for humour or spiritual matters or anything that peaks your interest. I do hope that you get some laugh out loud moments on my blog because we all need this no matter what is happening in our lives.

 My de-stress tool is humour, and after a hectic week of health issues with my husband,  I need a laugh because it has been very stressful with complications all around. I am just glad that he is home even though he is still unwell, the doctors said he was fit to go home, pending complex surgery and however long that wait will be before he can have his surgery. We just hope and pray that nothing goes wrong in the meantime. 

Fairy Art

 I have been a big lover of fairy art since I don't know when, but it's mostly the old stuff, late Victorian and early 20th century artworks. A hallmark of the era when romanticism was popular. I have numerous picture frames dotted around the house with beautiful images of classical fairies, like the lily fairy adding to the romantic tone of the rooms. To me it harmonises with house plants and bringing the outdoors, indoors.

It adds a gentle atmosphere to a bedroom, study or your favourite place to sit in the living room. Placed by a soft lamp light or hung on a wall. Just a little statement to add to the mood of the room where your favourite things are on display. Classic pictures or prints, not garish like pop art, but beauty and grace mixed with elegance that makes the room pleasant and speaks to the heart. 

                                                 Spirit of the night fairy by John Atkinson Grimshaw 

 This is one of my absolute favourites , The Lily Fairy by Luis Ricardo Falero  

                                                The flower series by Cicely Mary Barker 

                                                May Gibbs series of the Gum Nut Babies 

Artist, Cicely Mary Barker, of the Flower Fairies fame, Beatrix Potter, and the Australian artist May Gibbs, famous for her Gum Nut Babies are absolute favourites of mine for whimsical illustrations of bygone times and still very much loved for their beautiful work. Nothing in modern times can capture the essence of these beautiful artworks for me. There is an incredible energy of the times about these beautiful creations, gentleness and beauty, yet something else that I can’t quite put my finger on. 

It’s something alluring, beautiful and mystical that I feel. An aspect of nature which is hard to define if you know what I mean. People find strong nostalgic memories that evoke childhood memories and innocence in these illustrations and artworks. Like as a small child sleeping over at their grandparents house and feeling safe and warm, tucked up in bed dreamy and happy knowing they are loved. 

The excitement of waking up early on a summer morning and playing in the garden imagining fairies among the flowers as you catch bees with a jar. Butterflies hovering over your head and the sweet smell of the grass as the sun dries the early morning dew. The stillness of the morning air as you play in the sunshine, these are the simple things that these artists evoke 

Childlike innocence and joy of each season, a never ending childhood that we never want to lose. Perhaps it’s all just a fantasy or a much hoped for dream that we want to be a reality which we never let go of. What is it, in humans that we crave for? This  world of fairies and wonder that we never find in our lives.  Where does it come from and why? 

Collectively we must be missing something so special yet we can’t seem to remember and keep trying hard to recreate. It could be a single moment, a snapshot in time of a moment that we never wanted to end. And somehow we manifest a fantasy unobtainable, in our imagination, yet somehow artists create something that gently reminds us of a  memory so precious that we can’t maintain. These artworks give us simple pleasures and appreciation but we still struggle to recall what the distant memories are. Live in the moment and enjoy the experience you are the creator of the magic that you created inside you.

 The artist’s job has been done, to facilitate your creativity and to live in its essence or energy which sustains and supports you to live in the moment and express your own love, that’s my take on it and I think it will suffice until I have an epiphany that transcends this belief. 

Home from hospital

 Today I was so happy to have my husband back home from hospital, it’s been a long few days with all sorts of issues happening. He is not 100% yet because he must have surgery, this will take a bit of planning because it is a complicated procedure due to his other health factors. 

So it’s now being put on an urgent waiting list,  as his condition is deemed “no longer life threatening”. Delightful to hear, yet how long that waiting will be remains to be seen. The care he has been given was mostly excellent, yet understandably there are some frustrations due to shortages in hospitals these days that are beyond one’s control and we must just accept that fact. So here is hoping that the surgery is not too far away and it goes smoothly when the time comes. 

I am just so grateful that he is home and resting, our dear little Ruby, our Jack Russell is over the moon that daddy is home. She too has missed her other favourite human. Hopefully now we can have a belated 60th birthday celebration at some stage over the coming days. 

Warm and fuzzy hugs everyone

Update: Here we are on 19 March and my husband is still unwell and bedridden, having lost a significant amount of weight and muscle mass. He can barely eat, but one good thing is some of his blood tests are moving in a positive direction, slowly but steadily. I knew that it was going to be at least May before we see some positive results. Having had his gallbladder and kidneys damaged by other health issues has made life extremely challenging. The doctors are pondering whether to remove the gallbladder or not, meantime his health is not improving. 

His other health problems including multiple abdominal surgeries make removing the gallbladder dangerous, yet with the gallbladder being blocked and unable to function properly puts his life in jeopardy. Clearly a decision must be made soon before things take a turn for the worse. We are acutely aware that surgery is potentially dangerous for him, but what is the option when faced with the current circumstances. 

UPDATE 2 April 

Well hubby is still unwell, his rapid weight loss has stabilised however his intestines keep twisting and pinching, blocking the digestive tract. I don’t think that this will be able to be resolved by surgery as it is such a high risk situation due to multiple abdominal surgeries over the years. This reduces the structural integrity of the abdominal cavity. 

Meanwhile food keeps gets trapped in an intestinal pocket and rots, eventually it is brought back up the digestive tract which is extremely painful and causes bruising to his insides. Still no word from the hospital after the family doctor has sent two urgent requests for my husband to be seen asap. I do feel the life threatening situation has passed though, but that may not stay this way. Given how quickly his health can take a bad turn unexpectedly. 

Telstra offers apology to family of Victorian who died during triple zero outage

https://www.9news.com.au/national/triple-zero-outage-leads-to-chaos-in-victoria/e5c64336-082c-4bfd-8882-be337fb1ad44 

Christ, this is horrific, my heart goes out to this man’s family, this just shouldn’t happen and it shows what a third rate telecommunications company Telstra has become over many years. I was bloody lucky this morning because I called the Emergency Services on 000 at 2.29 am because my husband was in respiratory distress and in excruciating pain, from what he was originally in A and E for on Wednesday morning, (on his 60th birthday).  I was told there was a long wait, and as I was on the phone the line was crackling. I was frustrated also because of all the questions when I insisted my husband couldn’t breathe and was newly discharged from hospital, is diabetic with a heart condition too. Luckily the ambulance was here within 5 minutes and the ambo’s were fantastic.

I had to ring our family doctor as soon as the practice opened this morning at 8.00am, and I had to redial multiple times for just over an hour, just to cancel my husband’s medical appointment as their website server was down and the phone lines were constantly engaged with patients trying to contact the surgery. The receptionist was sympathetic and told me they have had technical difficulties since the day before and today. This is Telstra at their finest screw ups as usual. 

But the kicker was the  Non attendance bill emailed to my husband  in hospital today billing him for non attendance for his appointment. I kid you not. It will be fixed up though, out sourcing, what could possibly go wrong when you’re outsourcing to overseas companies with no control over what happens. 

My husband is currently in hospital for the next few days pending surgery, unfortunately no surgery is done over the weekend unless a patient is in grave danger of dying. Well hubby came very close to that I can tell you. As is reflected in many posts on this blog. There have been many close calls, over 35 years of our marriage. 

RIP: Richard Lewis

 https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/richard-lewis-dead-at-76-curb-your-enthusiasm-comic-suffered-from-parkinsons-disease-in-rocky-years-before-death/news-story/c101c88961bc675eaca7b7ac8d8e36f5

So sad to see him suffer, like all those suffering silently with Parkinson's. His suffering is over but the pain has just begun for his family and fans. For a man that brought a lot of laughter into our lives, we thank him. Laughter is the best medicine no matter our ailment. The depth of humility is measured with the love given and the love received in return. May your star always shine brightly Richard and a guiding light for your family and loved ones. 

 

Happy 60th birthday to my dear husband

 

Well that’s 60 years old today, wow, where has that time gone? No longer young whipper snappers, more wisdom and more time to contemplate the future whatever that may be. Just as long as we celebrate together. Even though today has been a rough start to a new decade I pray that things will improve. 

Happy birthday David xxx 🥂🍾🎂🤗🤗❤️

Happy 60th Birthday to my dear husband, well it should be

Today is my dear husband’s 60th birthday, yet we can’t celebrate, he is currently in hospital again today. He has been unwell for a few days unable to keep any food or fluids down. Not that he is able to eat very much in recent times as it is. On top of that we learned two weeks ago he has even more health problems. He was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm in his left ventricle in his heart and diabetes. 

As I have said before, I live in permanent fight or flight mode for many years because the moment I relax something bad happens. I  am taking about a few weeks or a couple of months between the bad  luck striking. This has been the story of our marriage of 35 years, how much more can we take of this heartache? 

Something always happens without fail that just destroys any little bit of happiness for us in the blink of an eye. Today my husband was also seeing a heart specialist when he collapsed in the doctors office at the hospital, and he didn’t have any heart problems until a few weeks ago, then suddenly we find out about this aortic aneurysm.We try not to stress about it because that can aggravate the situation for my husband. 

Try avoiding stress with multiple serious illnesses and then find out that you have this on top of the other problems is a bloody big tall order. It’s like the universe is trying to destroy him and any hope for happiness. 

I don’t make plans for the future like other people because I have learned a long time ago that everything comes crashing down and we are back to the same situation again and again. So I take one day at a time and I never make plans because there is no point. 

All I wanted today, was for my husband to have a nice quiet birthday celebration at home. On his 60th birthday but again that chance has been taken away from us. We are quiet living people and tend to keep to ourselves, but even still life keeps kicking us in the guts to breaking point time and time again.

I can be thankful that he will be home later this afternoon or evening after going through some rather horrible medical intervention, but that just ruins the entire day for us. 

Update; Friday 1 March , 2.30 am  this morning I had to call an ambulance for my husband, he was in severe pain and unable to breathe. Things took a turn for the worse, he will be staying in hospital for a little bit longer. The care he is receiving is outstanding too. I pray that things get sorted out once and for all. He can’t go on like this. I have been awake since 2.15 am and it’s now 7.49 am. There is no way that I can sleep now, so it’s just get on with my day and sleep later. 

Wes Penre: Q and A Session # 2 February 2024

 https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024-QA-Session-2-February-2024.pdf

One really must read the entire Wes Penre Papers to understand these questions and answers. They may seem absurd but then doesn’t that make the bible absurd too and archeological evidence? 

I Love Parasols

I have always had a love affair with parasols and came across a website years ago called A Bit Shady. com.au https://www.abitshady.com.au/empress.php and I started collecting these beautiful parasols. 

I do use them and have just ordered the lace parasol in Ivory to match the fan. These are made in Queensland and of high quality. I can't wait to receive my new baby in the mail this week. It is identical to the little black lace one with the shorter  stem.  

Parasols are making a big comeback in recent times; as I often see ladies of various ages using them. They are good if you want to avoid hat hair in a hot day.  Now there are umbrellas with a silver UV coating on the inside to repel the hot sun too, which is a great idea as they have a double function. I have a little collapsable one that I bought and keep in the car just incase it rains or its really hot. That is just an emergency stand by though. 

The chinese parasol in the photos is waterproof. It is treated with a wax coating so it will always look great. I will probably buy another one of these too. Perhaps the pink or the red , they are both beautiful and it's hard to make up one's mind . I did buy the pink one for a friend a few years ago for her birthday and she loved it.  

I got plenty use out of my umbrellas this year with the constant rain too and I love fancy umbrellas too. My red one  which is similar to the Empress parasol and my Monet one’s especially, very girly-girl stuff, lol. That's a Libra for you 😁

This black and purple was a special one off that the company did. I have no idea how many they made. I hope they revive it because it is very nice. 

See the wooden spokes inside the parasol, amazing craftsmanship 

I hope you like these parasols, and maybe you may decide to use one too this summer. 

My new parasol arrived today, yippee. I can’t wait to try it out. 

The latest AI development

Astrology in the name of this AI tool. Gemini which is the ruler of the 3rd House in Astrology.

The mind, communication, intelligence, avenue  of expression, reasoning ability, awareness, rationalisation, transmission, words, opinions and sensory perception.

Its actions are quick, uncertain, volatile.  The winged cap and the wings on the  heels of the god Mercury symbolises a quick mind, flash of inspiration and rapid action or speed. 

Mercury also covers children, clerking, speaking, writing, emailing, means of transportation, trade, emotional capacity and technique. 

Then the body parts, brain, tongue and  a few other parts too, but  AI is going to be in everything that you can think of from here on in.Things that you haven’t even thought of yet and that includes transhumanism because that is where they are taking humanity and into the virtual world that is where human consciousness is being anchored in . 

This is only the starting point so pay attention.

Gemini, which is an air sign, stands for versatility and thought (Mercury) cleverness, dexterity, dual (2 faced), inventive, curious, adaptable, and literary.

Negativity it is ungrateful, changeable, restless, SCHEMING 

Now add to this the 3rd house of the zodiac, and this is an  important otherwise message conveyed. The 3rd house Gemini covers communication, the CONSCIOUS MIND, early education, brothers and sisters.  This is vital factors for AI to carry out the agenda.

Right now Pluto has entered the sign of Aquarius ruled by the planet Uranus, which rules nuclear weapons and power. Nuclear power will take over from fossil fuels after the war. Part of Pluto’s party trick is destruction and rebuilding, and transforming the world. Right now Pluto has just entered Aquarius ( 20th January) Which rules science, inventions, psychology and aircraft.

It’s UTOPIAN and REVOLUTIONARY. Transgender, read transhumanism. 

Aquarius and its planet Uranus creates unexpected and violent events. 

‘It never stops': New drug approved to treat endometriosis after decade of pain

Gosh let’s hope the government gets this drug on the PBS asap. I just hope they find out the cause of this in my lifetime, because there are so many other medical breakthroughs and the pain that these poor women suffer from is horrible. Not just that, all the visits to doctors and to be believed takes its toll on these women.

The month of March itself is ruled by Pisces and the planet Neptune up to the 20th March, which then changes over to Aries ruled  by Mars which is on  the ascendant and the 1st house of the zodiac.

The sign of Cancer and the Moon signify the nurturing urge and domestic life. The nice warm and fuzzy stuff. The Moon represents the feminine principles as in mother, daughter and women in general.

As we know the Moon controls the tidal phases, but also receptivity, reflex actions, fluctuation and change. 

March also has a few things to note. The first thing I want to point out is the Solar Eclipse on 8th March  at 18.18':29" (taken from my Ephemeris) and a new Moon. The Vernal Equinox that starts on the 20th of March heralding the end of summer and the commencement of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and the reverse in the Northern Hemisphere. We have a New Moon on 10th March at 9.02 am, sitting at 20 degrees Pisces 17' 

Then the Full Moon on 25 March at 7.01am which is also a Total Lunar Eclipse. (Worm Moon) 

The Worm Full Moon is seasonal, as the earth warms up and new life begins and plants spring back into life from their winter dormancy.   https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-march

I must admit that I love the Moon, it is romantic and a big beautiful Pearl to me. I love Pearls and always wear them as a ring, earrings or a necklace 💖

The Moon is where we find emotional ups and downs, illusion Vs reality, as in Lunar syndrome  with its effect on humanity's psyche.  The Full Moon will be in Libra on the 25th March and on the Ascendant. Which is the line between Pisces and Aries on the zodiac wheel at zero degrees. I must also mention the dreaded Ides of March falls on Friday 15th March. Cancel the day for lack of interest, lol. I noticed not everyone agrees on this date, I have seen it covers the 15th to the 17th on the internet this depends on ancient calendars though. I will stick to the 15th because that is the hot favourite aligned to that fateful day. 

So we see the flavour of the month of March as each planet transits through the  month affecting us in many different ways. Which I find very interesting as well as important in observing the human experience in all its forms. March will be a month of emotions and great sensitivity for all of us.

We must remember that the month of March starts off with Pisces energy up to the 20th March, ruled by the planet Neptune (water/deception/illusion) affecting humanity. These are highly emotional and exceptional times which we are experiencing. Deception, as I have already pointed out in my psychic predictions for 2024 is the theme of this year. Which is pretty obvious to many people already, and ordinary people do not know where they really stand. All they know is that everyone is on edge, suffering in many ways and reactive.  Whether they are presented with the truth or deception and lies, understandably makes people very confused and emotional.

We must step back emotionally speaking to gain some perspective. Because many are baying for blood and this is highly dangerous. People have been deliberately lead by the nose to react certain ways by evil individuals in powerful positions which are often hidden from view, to serve an agenda that is not conducive to peace and harmony for anyone. 

This is deliberately calculated for a reaction. Looking back at the Astrological implications of Pisces, this sign rules the 12th house of the zodiac. This is a house is the last of three  houses of endings (death of something) this house is about imposing limitations, frustrations, illusions, delusions , spirituality, ideals, maritime matters, mystique, glamour, entertainment (movies, stage, music).

It covers the things in life that we take for granted without questioning. That is something to ponder on. Fog, Alcohol, drugs and addiction, trances and hypnosis are all ruled by Neptune. Abnormalities are part of this theme too. The energy and actions of Neptune are subtle, gradual and insidious, and where you find Neptune in a zodiac chart it is where you deceive yourself and others. It also signifies the "ideals", think dictators and fanaticism. Neptune has a cycle of 165 years cycle. 

For March 2024 the planets to remember are The Moon, Neptune, Mars, and that other bad boy Pluto.

Pluto is going to be around for the rest of our lives, in various ways, in fact for the next 248 years. That nasty break down, rebuild and transformation, affecting all aspects of humanity and the planet. 

As Pisces rules part March (1st to 20th) before handing over to Aries from 21st March, the key word to remember with Pisces is Understanding and the key phrase is "I Believe", I personally would include the word naivety here as there is a strong feeling of naivety involved.

Pisces is a water sign and a mutable sign, so it is flexible and goes along with everyone to be friendly.  Pisces is intuitive, sensitive, emotional, compassionate and sacrificing. So one must be very careful about trust and truth versus lies, deception and  devious willful acts of others, especially when it comes to world events and finances. 

Pisces can be timid, melancholy, procrastinating, impractical and sometimes lazy. Procrastinating helps no one. Not in our current times as that would be a big mistake and costly. He who hesitates is lost!

Aries on the other hand is a Cardinal sign meaning, power, dynamic action and a born leader. Aries is confident, its key phrase is I am, and the key word activity, because it is the first house of the zodiac. It is a house of life and beginnings therefore it must be able to demonstrate action and leadership to show the way forward.

Its meaning are courageous, pioneering, originality, eagar, independant, executive, quick and impulsive.

 Negatively Aries, can be domineering, quick tempered, violent (Mars energy), intolerant, hasty and arrogant. Though it often lacks the follow through.   

What we are seeing here is strong emotional and deceptive energy in March. Please keep your guard up, accept nothing at face value. Do not be quick to jump into any agreements or contracts, do not pick sides in any form of conflict, whether it is current world affairs or among friends, family and colleagues. Find out the full facts on both sides, avoid jumping to conclusions or live to regret is.   

Warning, take care with transactions of money and finance scams, and funding availability. Do not part with your cash under any circumstances. Hold off until you check the background details. There are sharks out there ready to fleece you so think first. You snooze you lose!

Deception as I repeatedly warn starting with my psychic predictions for 2024 is the theme for 2024. So don't be a goose. As the old saying goes, you don't have to have a long neck to be a goose.

That Neptune energy combined with the Moon is powerful. Health wise Neptune affects the spinal column, nerve fibres, feet, the pineal gland; which affects one's psychic abilities, Telepathic functions, white corpuscles of the blood and kinaesthetic functions. 

Neptune represents the escapist urge or taking the easy way out. Which governs the South Node of the Moon ( the Imum Coeli or IC in the zodiac wheel  in the 4th House). It is Karmic in nature.

So the Moon card ties in with March as a warning to all of us. to smarten up fast. Ukraine/Russia and France are prominent in March as the big springtime push begins and things get uglier. Illegal activities around the water, the sea, military, terrorism, pirates and refugees are all in the frame in March. This of course was to be expected as it is an ongoing problem which isn't going away  any time soon, more like an escalation, as astrology and the Tarot indicate. 

Coastlines need to be beefed up with much better security, mind you, it’s a bit late in the day now isn't it!

This covers Asia, Europe, the Middle East, UK, Australia. Keep an eye on  Antarctica as well as the Atlantic ocean. North and South, or Air, Land and Sea strife and deception just for  change. 😐

Looking back at the tarot card, The two pillars or towers  in the care remind me of military Pillboxes, (young people may not be familiar with these). These were made of concrete and had slits to look through and fire a gun at the approaching enemy  from. First used in WW1.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillbox_(military)

Notice though the towers as looking straight forward to the water or coastline. To fend of an attack from the sea, the Crayfish, a creature that lives at the bottom of the sea. (notice the element of water theme again). One must ask what is that threat from the sea (subconscious)? Is it real, is it illusionary? Who is the target of the assault? The west is. There is an agenda to destabilise the western democracy and some of that threat comes from a trojan horse within the powerful western nations themselves, not only external forces. There is not a simple answer here, because there are multiple agendas at play and for multiple reasons. I can tell you that this situation is intensifying and many distractions are in place so that the general public are confused and unsure and unable to focus on the reality and gravity of the implications.

 Nor can they see the clear and present danger they face in their homelands. They haven't even thought about who is actually protecting their homeland if there are two or three fronts currently being fought. 

No real thought of who is this coming in the back door unseen. Well actually they are being seen but the illusion presented prevents most people from thinking rationally and objectively. Neptune/Moon deception guarantees that nothing is what it seems as the illusion is so powerful in influence and has an emotional effect on the masses. 

The fuse of this ticking time bomb was lit years ago in the west with a slow burning fuse. Nobody in the west is prepared for the inevitable repercussion and the UK government has foolishly been caught with their proverbial pants down, big time. Yes, Minister meets Fawlty Towers! 

The wolf and the domestic dog are howling at the Moon here. The dog is the one that warns us of danger, the wolf is the danger. The dog represents faithfulness which also warns man of danger although, a problem is often said to dog a person, such as depression and anxiety. The dog is also man's best friend for a reason. The wolf shows us deviousness and cunning, with a ravenous appetite.

So this tells me there are powerful people in this world, whom no matter what they have are never satisfied. They are greedy, cunning and wicked,  and prey on ordinary humans because life means absolutely nothing to them. Nothing will keep this type of person in check.  These people use deception just like we breathe oxygen. 

There is a lot of blue in the Moon card as I study the images. That blue implies intelligence, a cool and calculating  mind and actions. Nothing is an accident, this is careful planning.  We are dealing with authority and deceptions played out on our minds (hearts and minds operation) Except it is all based on lies and outright deception. The past keeps repeating and nobody is paying attention again. Those that are aware have to remain silent of be punished. Looking at the Moon overshadowing the Sun in the card we are being shown in the plain light of day what is happening. 

This is some western powers here and the Moon is suppressing the light of truth, this is not motherly protective love here, far from it. The Sun is a life giver and nothing survives without the golden rays of our sun. We become derepressed and even ill without natural sunlight. Life is unsustainable without that life giving force.  The Moon is generally a positive quality of astrology and the tarot. It is loving feminine energy and a nurturing protective force of good, the warm and fuzzy stuff.  The Sun is also male energy which is active and aggressive energy. 

What we are witnessing though is madness and the destructive negative energy expressed. It is against peace, harmony and stability. This is the descent into the madness and instability of the underworld playing out. So we have a very long road ahead of us, which is depressing to most people. They are suffering financially, emotionally, psychologically and the threat of perhaps being homeless,  as the terrible threat of war creeps closer into the west. 

Joy seems to have been suppressed as the shadow of the Moon looms over the Sun. Notice the Moon has its eyes closed. Avoiding reality under it's watchful gaze. Insanity seems to be everywhere, especially in politics as politicians drag us into pain and suffering driving us into a wider social divide. Everything old is new again like the poverty pre WW1.  The social divide is long and widening between the dog and the wolf. They are enemies for a valid reason, by which now is rather obvious.

Mental health issues are highlighted in March and with all this symbolism it is perfectly understood why. The water theme started back in January this year and is a continuation of a cycle with human consciousness which has been deeply affected because life is so far out of kilter. That people no longer trust one another and have been manipulated to be at each other's throats by design. 

Please keep in mind the physical reality that we live in is one of polarities  in all things and always will be. That was always the intention from its creation. The seeds that were planted in the public psyche over at least two decades ago are actually much, much longer. The roots of the current  situation took place in the 1970's and perhaps  even the 1930's. Things take time to grow and manifest, but in the past ten years things have grown to monsterous levels.

We can thank western big business and corrupt politicians and very evil individuals so powerful and seemingly unstoppable for this mess that we are in. Nobody has really made any attempt to stop this evil in its tracks, because money and power is more important than all life itself. It is the west that wants to reduce the world population, factions with a leftist and eugenics leaning.  

The propaganda was seeded way back and is now in its third generation of destabilisation. The social divide like other divisions is multi pronged. 

Please keep your emotions in check this month or you will regret it. Dirty tricks are being played by Russia's Putin on the west and Putin is in panic mode. All eyes are on him and he is very hot under the collar and will lash out irrationally as usual. This can be advantageous to the west,  and NATO may ensnare Russia in a trap. Keep an eye on France too, as dirty tricks by the French government are likely along with questionable deals with

 Ukraine. https://psychictarotreadingwithalexfulford.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-new-us-republican-party-president.html   (NOTE: please read this link where I say NATO will cross the Russian border)

Things are now moving to the next level in the push against Russia from the west. Agreements and contracts are upgraded, Something unfactored is signified by the Crayfish in the card, as he climbs out of the water. This is a hidden threat that lurks in the shadows, as the dog and wolf are not watching the water, they are distracted by an illusion. This implies a nation or a person that presents themself as an ally but is nothing of the sort.  This individual or nation was never an ally, this is business and war as usual nothing more. 

Keep your enemies close is the old saying, yes because you can easily throw a knife or stab at close quarters. The Ides of March is on Friday, 15th. It might be a good day to stay home and eat chocolate. 

Well I did not expect such a long  Tarot Card of the Month. Astrology added to this makes it longer, but also interesting. As I am on my journey of learning this science, I like to share what I am learning with anyone that reads this blog. It may be very useful for you, and perhaps you may want to learn astrology.

It is a highly beneficial thing to learn even from the first book of astrology in the series ( The only way to learn Astrology by Marion March and Joan McEvers) one can glean an understanding of how planets, signs and houses  affect humanity and all things in our world. 

It may help us avoid disasters if we are wiser on how to use astrology, even on such things as healthcare. You would be surprised what one can learn about ones health.  

No matter where you live in this crazy world, please stay safe, don't poke the bear, and look after your loved ones. Warm and fuzzy hugs to everyone. 

NOTE: The Equinox is not set on a particular day, and it varies from northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere too. this year it's 19 March according to some records or 20th march. The date can vary between 19th and 21st annually and by hemisphere. https://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-spring-vernal-equinox

Also today, 3/3/24 I added the link from my post about the US elections and the world in 2025 because it mentions Nato and Russia.

Antarctica. This was posted at 15.30pm today 19/2/25 in the news. I have had a strong feeling for a while now that the air bridge between Australia (Tasmania) will be breached in war. We need to put protection on our southern borders. Yes it’s expensive but do you want to waken up one morning to find we are invaded? It’s inevitable, smart thinking and preventative measures must be taken.

Illegal activities connected to water, as we expected.

Finally my old Dlook website is parked

Just a heads up to any new people that visit this blog after being unable to access my old website from Friday 16 February 2024. 

Anyone trying to access my defunct website will see this because Dlook  finally pulled it, they suspended my website in case I want to return. I DON’T THINK SO SUNSHINE!  Not a snowball‘s chance in hell will I ever return to them. 🤣🤣🤣 Eventually this listing will drop off the search engine, so that’s fine with me. 

This is my current website with service fees, there are videos as you scroll down and a little blog right at the bottom. That blog will not replace this one though, this will always be my main blog. 

https://alexfulfordmedium.com/  Which is also above in the blue header bar at the top of this blog. Notice it doesn’t have dot com dot au. This is to show a more global perspective.

 My clairvoyant readings are always done remotely whether nationally or worldwide via several platforms, Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, and of course via the phone. (I stopped face to face readings in 2019 for safety reasons). 

I provide my payment details at the time of booking. Please remember that clairvoyant and psychic readings are about connecting to your energy. A person can be anywhere in the world when they have a tarot reading and the reader may be on the other side of the world. 

How stuff works 

This is how psychic energy works; whether doing mediumship, psychic predictions, phone line psychics etc. We humans are bio-electrical and spiritual entities so physicality is irrelevant when conducting readings, this  has been demonstrated for over 100 years since the invention of telephone technology and radio. Psychic phone lines have been in use since the 1980’s. I actually worked for the Rod Bradshaw psychic phone line briefly many years ago and psychic phone line services are still very much in high demand. 

I hosted my A1R Psychic Radio show in America via my home office in Australia back in 2015 which was broadcast globally. So as one can see psychic abilities transcend physicality. 

I can actually hold my hands above your body and do a psychic reading like that also, because I am a natural born clairvoyant-medium and natural born spiritual healer like my late father, although I no longer do spiritual healing. I come from a background of psychic healers and clairvoyants as psychic abilities run in both sides of my family, being of Celtic origin. It is also not uncommon for me to describe what you look like over the phone at the time of booking your appointment. 

I am also clairtangent, meaning I am able to perform psychometry on personal items such as car keys, holding your mobile phone, wedding ring or any personal items that one handles often because your energy is on that item. You can read on this blog of my psychic experience and abilities as well as my success in my psychic predictions going back many years including correctly predicting several prime minister of Australia. 

The chilly train service dubbed Scotland's 'polar express'

 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-68241768

I don’t think the Scottish government knows how to be embarrassed by such appalling issues. They can waste money on stupid climate garbage yet can’t spend the money on heating a train. 

This is the Scottish Nationalist government for you, you get what you deserve if you vote for these idiots. 

The 'coupley' thing we should all be doing more of to boost our mental health, according to experts

 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13076277/holding-hands-boosts-mental-health-experts.html

It goes without saying that the endorphins release that happy feeling when we are holding hands and bonding with someone. The freely touchy thing is not just important for humans, but all creatures. We all need physical touch and bonding. 

We have emotions for a reason, not just for the hell of it. Parent/child bonding, human to animal bonding etc. Reaching out to another being is good for our overall health and wellbeing. How much money was wasted stating the obvious for this article? Are the idiots in government so out of touch with reality that the need to do research on something as simple as this?
