Spirit of the Heart

I have never been much into astrology. I think it is fun at times but typically do not read much into them. Especially with phrases, "You need to relax today" or "An exciting business prospect will open up for you today" sort of phrases (I made theses two examples up by the way to show what I mean). Many times they are like little nonsense phrases that seems to have no meaning whatsoever. But then again there had been times when I happened to read some and seems to struck a chord at a particular moment in time.

I pick up the weekly Beach Reporter. Has calendar events so I can find out what fun happenings to attend during the weekend adventures. There is an astrology page. I have found to like this astrology better than the others I have ever read. The astrology seems to be more intuned with real things: mission in life or what not. Perhaps it is no mistake that they have been ringing with certain chord within me.

Here is mine for the week of November 14:
Capricorn:
You have been like a sailor sailing on the high seas focused to make it through the eye of the storm. You have become so sturdy and strong in the fight to get to the other side, you haven't a clue at how much you body and soul has grown in wisdom and strength. You have been adapting and adjusting to circumstances and in many cases paying dues for past choices made, but this week something happens. The seas slow and the waves lower their lift on the bow. A triangle made in the sky in water signs signals a breakthrough in your journey. It is the reason you were ever fighting at all. You will feel and see the distance you have gained and be amazed at your progress. This breakthrough also signals you that it is a time to relax and renew as Mars moves retrograde in your opposite sign. Your dedication is paying off.

I, of course, have been pondering about the words. There seems to me much mystery, especially this water sign from the sky in a form a triangle. What is that? Is it something literal? Something figurative? Something that some fan of astrology would only know?

But I like this horscope very much. In many ways seems to define my current and past few months of life. In some ways, yes like a sailor, a wayfarer, on this journey focused on this moment of life. And being so focused in the mainstream of life, I had not indeed realize how much I have grown in the short time here in LA. Because I have grown in wisdom and strength. This growing will not stop here but continue as I venture onward. But my progress has been minimal to my mind's eye. Not much but still it's something. I am not so sure of a breakthrough per se. Unless this breakthrough points to the decision I made to return to Arizona. But I had been pondering on my return for a few months now. Yes, I am returning.

On my journey of adventures here in LA, the experience and life seems to be but a stepping stone. I consider myself a spirit of the heart. I like to say that my heart directs my life. And in many ways it does, espeically upon reflecting on past life's experiences and decisions. I know the difference between a decision made from the heart and one made from well, not the heart.

I had an interesting dream last night. I would love to share it all but it was so very long, so very detailed, so very vivid. I had gone to bed thinking tonight in my sleep something about the triangle in the sky signal will be explained. Something like that. Well a dream occurred which in part sheds perhaps some light on this mystery. Here follows a synopsis.

I get on this helcopter with three other guys. I seem to know these guys but do not recognize them from any known individuals in my current life (I have dreams with people I know and with people I do not know). We have two dogs with us. One of the three guys is flying the helcopter. We leave mainland and seem to be heading out but yet somewhat close to shore at times. I remember admiring the big ocean swells from above. For some reason one of the smaller dogs and I seem to disappear. This is the part of the dream where it gets patchy and I do not quite understand what is going on. I, the dreamer, seem to stay with the guys some more as it is becomes obvious they are looking for me. I soon leave them and find myself at some building. I seem to have been sleeping or drugged. Not sure which. But I am atop this large buiding with the apartment and an open deck, patio on the roof. Someone takes the small dog that I had disappeared with. I try to argue for it back saying it does not belong to them. But they took it anyway. So here I find myself stranded. The view looks out to sea. It is night. The moon then creates this triangle shape of lighting on the water. And I say, there is the sign! But then start to wonder what it means. As I am staring at it, I hear barking. I look and there is the second dog that had been in the helcopter bounding to me in joy as if finding me. I hug it and look down the side of the building. Then I see the three guys that I had been with. They see me and next thing I know it we are all up on the roof hugging. Well I was actually only hugging one of the guys who I seem to know better as from the way I was talking with him. We leave the building, and one of the guys, who is the pilot then walks a head of us saying oops I was in the triangle. And I was like what? And he said well the two other guys and I form a triangle from our positions when walking. And he did not want to be in the triangle so he walks ahead. The dream pretty much ends there as we seem to take of in the helcopter again and this time looking for that dog that was taken away from us!

I wake up then and was like interesting dream. I certainly dreamt about the triangle but still a bit mysterious to me. I am probably reading too much into it.

Anyway here is the website for the astrology. There is a new one every week, I think comes out every Wednesday: http://www.kristinfontana.com/

That was amazing. I know you read my blog the other day when I asked what was going on in the universe, astrologically speaking - and well, thank you very much for finding the answer. I am not Capricorn, but Cancer, a water sign, and I have felt exactly this shift that is described in the horoscope. I have had hallucinations of grandeur in this past week as life loses complete physical hold and just becomes surreally beautiful. I know there is something greater than me drawing me to feel this way, and yet, I also know it is a result of the work I have done.

I was just writing my friend, David, explaining that I have been working on myself but seeing no growth, until last week- BOOM!

I love the way our lives are parallel! Thanks for sharing your dream...

Gipsy Ing said...

Wow Rachel, this is pretty incredible. I am so happy for you that you are experiencing visions of grandeur.

That seems to ususally happen... we try so hard to make changes and yet we do not see it. But then one day, it is there, the growth, the wisdom that we have been seeking. It's been there all along but just needed its moment to become a reality to us.

Ah, I just found out that I am a water sign too. Interesting.

Mrs. SwedeHart said...

And Swede is Aquarius:D

Roxi and Kaiser might be the dogs.

Gipsy Ing said...

Is it just a fluke that all three of us are from signs that are "water signs"? Is there any other astrological signs that are considered water sign?

Ha! Well Roxi and Kasier must have been in disguse if they were the dogs. The dog that disappeared with me and then taken away was small like a lap dog. So very cute though. Different shades of brown with wavy, curly hair. The second dog that came bounding up to me was some kind of large hound (like a basset hound maybe?).

Mrs. SwedeHart said...

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was relaxing:D I've been knitting like a hound dog. I've learned all kinds of stitches, but I can't figure out lace. I'll need a professional to help me interpret charts and directions. That's about all I've been doing.

Mrs. SwedeHart said...

Figured out one lace pattern I can do, finally

I'm at the Yoga studio... waiting for students... just Roxi and I.

burning a copy of the movie- Swede wrote the first song for it yesterday... it's nice- he sings and everything.

Mrs. SwedeHart said...

Wayfarer, will you continue to bring us photos of your journeys here in the desert?

Gipsy Ing said...

Most certainly. It may take awhile to get established with running internet connection and settling in.

I might start a new "theme" for the blog as well since I feel a transition from the Wayfarer of the coastal journeys to now something of the desert journeys.

Mrs. SwedeHart said...

That's a great idea, Ingrid!!! I look forward to seeing your new desert perspective.

Mrs. SwedeHart said...

Hey lady, how's the training going?

Mrs. SwedeHart said...

I'm convinced I may never see you here again! Have a wonderful Christmas, Ingrid. If you feel like talking, we can be reached at 801.607.1595.
