One Step Beyond

Summer is back in town for a single day of gold. I ventured out early with my canine house guest, the two of us wandering like escapees from the ordinary. We walked to get a little ahead of the constant carnival in my head, reminding myself that what most of what transpires between my ears is just for entertainment purposes, not prophecy. I poured my heart out to him as we strolled, but he spent the whole time chasing the local squirrels who teased him, just always out of reach. Fair enough. We all have our priorities. Perhaps today has something miraculous in store for you as well, maybe it's time to take a leap of faith.

Affirmation: I trust the unknown, each step becomes a promise of wonder

Change

Behind him, ghost-ships stitched from hopes and half-forgotten fears drift across the horizon. He laughs as the waves of possibility surge and recede, and lets the wind carry what he no longer needs. The lemniscate glows before him as he juggles his choices, reminding him that balance is not stillness, but movement, an eternal rhythm of give and take, rise and fall.

Affirmation: I balance change. I bend, I sway, but I never lose my rhythm.

The Nexus She stands at the still point between all things. Circles ripple from her heart, touching stars and stones alike, nothing is ever truly separate. Here, opposites entwine, and what once clashed becomes part of the same sacred pattern. You are not adrift. You are the missing shape the universe has been waiting to place in the puzzle.

Affirmation: I trust the web of destiny. Every connection carries me closer to my true place.

The Shift Static clears as your vision shivers and reassembles into something truer. The old story slips away, its edges crumbling like ash. You are no longer an echo of who you were told to be. You are becoming. The Shift does not ask, it arrives like thunder from the tower struck by lightning. Clear the clutter of borrowed ideas. What remains will be your own, bright, electric, undeniable.

Affirmation: I shed illusions and stand in the brilliance of endless possibility.

Drift

The oars dip into the water, pulling you from shadow into light, from chaos into calm. Behind you, the doubts dissolve, the jagged edges of memory soften. Ahead, there is a horizon alive with possibility. This passage is not exile, it is arrival. Let the river of your life carry you forward, trust its current, trust yourself. You are not lost. You are in motion, and the world awaits your landing.

Affirmation: I release the storm of yesterday. My journey is blessed, and smoother waters welcome me.

Tiny Spells

“Ah, yes”, the cat thought, “Here we go”.  He twitched his whiskers & watched sparks fly from her fingers. The mistress had gone full Autumn-witch once more. A whiff of woodsmoke, a look at the harvest moon and instantly it was sprigs of rosemary, crystals on every windowsill, incantations & manifestations for days. He knew she was ridiculous but he loved her, her craziness had saved him from the shelter after all, that was proper madness. So he sat, twitching tail, and watched her spin her tiny spells. If she wanted to dance naked under the moon and confide in the wind, he would purr happily along. After all, every witch needs a little black shadow to make the magic real.

Affirmation: I embrace the wild, the weird, and the wonderful, magic flows through me and I let it shine.

Crone

'tis the moon, full and red as a secret we've hidden too long. The Crone leans in, eyes a thousand winters old. "You've felt it, haven't you?" she grins, fingers curling like smoke around your heart. The Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, a tide that brings all secrets to the surface. You may want to drown in it, sail away on daydreams.

“Don't waste your life on escapism," she fixes your gaze, “Pisces is mutable, a trickster, a shape-shifter. Boundaries are shifting, and Saturn has returned to test whether yours will hold. Cling, little one, or be swept away”.

Her shadow stretches out, and there in its depths you glimpse mysteries, truths revealed like words revealed in flames. Shocking? Perhaps. But take a second glance and you'll see: the play was scripted long ago. The Crone's giggle is a low, parched sound, like the crackling of dried-up leaves. "Face it. Even if your feet are itching to run away, the time has come to stay. Only from endings are new tales born."

She is not cruel, however. Her fingertips brush against yours, surprisingly silky against your skin, you feel your heartbeat in your chest. Creativity & vision ignite, the crazy thrill of seeing clearly at last. Pisces brings water, yes, but to cleanse you, not to drown you, to wash away illusions until the reflection of the real you appears.

The Crone tilts her head, a sly grin on her lips. "Go on, then. Off you go. Trust the tide”. 

Affirmation: I release illusions, stand in truth, and trust the tide to carry me toward clarity and courage.
