Our Hands Will Never Hold (Poem)

From the Poetry book: Hot Headed Snakes

“Never be apart.”
But who’s the conqueror today?
Trapped in a shallow pool of dismay;
Beside me you want to stand,
But you can never hold my hand.

Need a beast to hide behind,
As it eases up my mind;
I see you in a flustered rush;
Greet you in my deepest blush.

Am I afraid of my own shadow?
Round and round we go;
I once looked upon you;
Too confusing to behold.

Are you my fears?
Metaphors of my anger?
Am I capable of what you conspire?

Are you wrong?
In how many ways?
Am I a good person,
If I submit myself to shame?

The trick is to embrace you;
Give in to your persuasion;
To ignore you only strengthens,
What I spend my time escaping.

We are meant to be;
Together we make balance;
It shouldn’t be taboo;
Only voicing yourself in silence.

You were exiled from my Kingdom,
When you offended all the guests;
The Queen admired your candour,
But the King found you a pest.

So I gave you less attention,
And soon you went away;
Still you show up unexpectedly,
And I cower much the same.

I look for you in suitors;
In confident female voices;
I see you in hurt children;
I’m not fooled by all pretences.

Always stay together;
Why should it be a secret?
I know I shouldn’t fear you,
For I am your heart’s true keeper.

That mean old shadow;
Just a scared child.
Maybe if I take you by the hand,
It’ll all become worthwhile.

Astrological Fortune Telling

Just before I write this post I want to express my desire to send out Reiki Healing to the world suffering the coronavirus. I also would like to pay strong attention to nursing staff and doctors. They are facing massive pressure and they have hearts that are worth all of the stars in the universe.

If any other Reiki practicing individuals want to join me in sending reiki, I propose we do it at 6pm every night. Hopefully enough of us will be sending it out, that we won’t always have to do it at the same time consecutively, but we know there is a set time when we won’t be doing it alone.

Right, so I’ll proceed with this article!

There is a way in Astrology to predict certain elements in your life. The trick here is to understand Sign rulers e.g. Scorpio’s rulers are Mars and Pluto (predominantly Mars though), Virgo’s Is mercury and so on and so forth.

You also need to have your birth chart with you so you can see in what houses these sign rulers are in. To get your birth chart, google free birth charts and there will be many options to use. You’ll need your time of birth to be accurate.

How it works is: you look for the sign in each of your houses e.g. if you have Pisces in the first house then what you need to know here is the ruler is Neptune. Then you’ll need to see where the planet Neptune is in your chart. When you spot it, for example, if it’s in the fifth house. Then you use this website: https://cafeastrology.com/natal/rulersofhousesinhouses.html to search “Ruler of the 1st house in the 5th house.” This will then give you a small prediction.

I have lined mine up for time scale purposes so you can use mine as an example below:

Birth chart predictions:

Ruler of 12th house in 5th: unfortunate speculation, sorrows, delicate child.
Ruler of 11th house in 5th: the children will help their parents. Positive speculations.
Ruler of 10th house in the 4th: increase of the patrimony. Possible gain through exploitation of real estate.
Ruler of 9th house in 9th: remarkable mental faculties. Qualities of mind and heart. A refined occupation.
Ruler of 8th house in 4th: father will die first. Possibility of widowhood.
Ruler of 7th in 5th: happiness in marriage or union. Profitable speculations.
Ruler of 6th in 8th: serious illness affecting the native or someone dear to them, according to the aspects.
Ruler of 5th in 8th: anxiety on account of the children’s health, or happiness jeopardised through a bereavement.
Ruler of 4th In 2nd: sale and purchase of landed estates; marriage with someone living in the country.
Ruler of 3rd in 3rd: harmonious relations with natives environment.
Ruler of 2nd in 11th: influential and numerous acquaintances. Support of powerful friends who support the native.
Ruler of 1st either in 8th: a short life, or a violent death, according to the planet (mars). A rich marriage.

Let’s analyse!

Strangely, I started this time line with the 12th house, which is usually considered the last level of life achievement. But it makes more sense to me to start there after reading my predictions. However, in this case I’ll start at number one.

1) I have not died yet or married so I cannot comment on this prediction.
2) I am lucky in terms of jobs because I always get support from someone influential in management looking out for me.
3) This suits me as I respect nature and like to have positive interactions with people.
4) This has not happened yet although I’ve briefly tasted a career in real estate at an office desk and I hated it.
5) I know the fifth house is the house of children and fun. My own adolescence I lost my dad, but here I believe it may be speaking of my future child.
6) My dad passed away from Bone Marrow Cancer, but I suppose this could be on going. The sixth house is the house of work and giving to others so this may have a clue as to who it is.
7) I’m not married yet but it sounds comfy haha!
8) My dad did die first, unfortunately. The eighth house is the house of transformation, and powerful feelings and destructive habits. It follows the seventh house (partnerships) because it is all about dealing with yours and your partners baggage which is confronted between you. Since this aspect is in the fourth house (home), it makes more sense it’s to do with my dad, and not my children’s dad.
9) Remarkable mental faculties. That’s more like it ey! Haha. I do enjoy higher learning which is the ninth house. I make it a point to keep my mind and eyes open. Being called smart is a great compliment to me so I like that prediction haha.
10) Possible gain through exploitation of real estate. This is in the house of home and so I believe this may not be for reasons that I’ll enjoy (death of a loved one.) however I could make a profit from doing up my own home and selling it!
11) It seems like my children and I will have a good relationship, if not a little role reversal kind of one!
12) This sounds awful because it’s in the house of children which I believe is my own. I would find this devastating and it’s hinted at twice in my chart.

All in all it hasn’t been pretty! But then life isn’t always smooth sailing! Using mine as an example, you know what to expect if you look for yours.

What interested me further though, was that I did this for a few people’s birth charts. Many of them showed strain from an illness, either for them or their loved ones. I can’t help thinking whether this is linked to the coronavirus or future viruses. If we don’t learn our lesson from this one that is.

It’s a daunting period and challenging for most of us. Without a plan or security, we are left to pull the panic chord. However we have a great opportunity to better ourselves here and find our inner strength. Use those survival skills in a healthy way.

I don’t think we need as much produce as we believe we do:
We can make do on very little and I challenge people to test their inner resources. Just like on the film: A series of unfortunate events- “There’s always something.”

 

In my food blog tomorrow I will share food hacks to save you money.

 

In the olden days we washed with soap and water instead of using toilet paper. During the war, people used newspaper cuttings. We can make do!

 

Pretend you’re moving out of your home soon and you won’t need any of your stuff- what can you use the most of now to reduce wastage in the future?

 

And the most important one, and at the heart of this current virus. Consider the impact of trafficking animals for sources of food. We don’t need them. They are living. Messing with life and death brings balance to us in less than advantageous ways. Consider looking outside of the box and closely at the root of your lifestyle choices. Sometimes change is good, and we’ll wonder how we did it the old way before!
