Today was a beautiful day.
I spent it with me, myself and I, my beautiful pooch and my equally beautiful kitty, the herd of cows and sheep on the downs, the hawthorne trees - burgundy with Autumn berries, the grass, the sky.
I took my pooch on a hike. I packed a blanket, a book, a bottle of water and a flask of fruity and very weak Pimm's.
I sunbathed in the valley and played catch with my clever dog, who more or less catches every time and delivers the ball right back by my body or in my hand.
I had a full nature day. This is a good plan when the Harvest full moon is in Pisces, and Saturn is about to go direct (18/09) Grounding oneself is a good thing to do, when the full moon is in a water sign, particularly Pisces.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune and Jupiter. Pisces moons are notoriously dreamy, playful. intuitive, imaginative and gentle. Dreaming intensely lately? The Pisces moon will affect water signs more strongly: Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio and the mutable signs; Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius. And anyone with a lot of prominent water placements in their natal chart (yep, Pisces and Scorpio, moon and rising)
I woke up this morning with the most vivid dream. It was a full spiritual Tarot reading, about my current situation. It was so real that I thought that it was not a dream. I woke a few times to realise that it was a dream and managed to fall back into the reading, or 'guidance'.
There was a lot of clarity.
Fortunately, as we are in Virgo season (earth) the Pisces moon will not be too 'out there', or overly esoteric in frequency.
After cleaning my kitchen windows and watering all of my house plants, feeding the furries and myself, I could hardly wait to get into nature. This was progress, because since my attack - that occurred during August - I was too afraid to go out on my own, and definitely not to a space where I could be vulnerable to an attack.
As soon as we reached our particular spot, where we often go, I was overwhelmed with how beautiful everything is. On the way there we had passed through the herd of cattle, cows and calves, and I was overwhelmed with how beautiful and gentle these beasts are. I said hello to them, as you do, and a calf came quite close to us. I cannot believe that we slaughter and eat them. They are so beautiful. Their eyes are large and brown, with long lashes, their faces are very soft. They look very contented as they slowly graze their way around their space.
Sitting on the hillock, where we go, was blissful. I had to pinch myself to realise how incredibly lucky, blessed, contented and peaceful I felt. It was one of those moments that you have when all you can do is smile and give thanks for everything that you have, everything that you are and everything in your environment. I watched the birds, listened to all of the noises - bees, flies, birds, cows, sheep, my dog, my own voice. I like to sing when I go into nature, my vocal chords become very relaxed and I enjoy the sound of what I call a soft and natural voice. I do this when I am alone. I do not, or rarely, sing around other people.
By three o'clock we were back home. I did not want to stay in my garden. I did not want to hear any human noises.
I went back out into nature to my Hawthorne patch of trees, alone.
I saw a figure approaching. I could not tell is it was a man or a woman. I said to myself quietly, "If you come just one step too near me, with any mal intent I will be forced to break your neck".
Wow. I was a bit surprised at my defensiveness. Then again, bearing in mind that I have recently had the very unpleasant experience of assault (ABH), it's not that surprising. I started to think what my best tactic of defence would be and whether I had anything sharp on my person.
It was a false alarm, it was a woman alone and she said hello.
I am hoping for another beautiful day, tomorrow. I will probably go to the beach for another full nature day, although I will have to tolerate humans in the vicinity, and they can be very irritating - not always, but often.
