ETHER READING: 8.15-8.22

AFFIRMATION: "THERE IS HOPE, AND THE LIGHT OF HOPE IS WHAT GUIDES ME AND INSPIRES ME ALONG THE PATH."

COLORS TO POP: Bleached out colors. Sun tea and fresh linen.
CRYSTALS TO VIBE: Clear quartz, apache tear.
OILS TO ANOINT: Grapefruit, clary sage, wintergreen
SNACKS TO NOSH: Frozen drinks and fresh salsa with summertime fruits and veggies (if you live somewhere cold eat simple clear broths and purees that remind you of warmer times)
INSPIRATIONS TO INSPIRE: Researchers and scientists who have no proof that they will find cures or solutions but persist in their research anyway.

THIS WEEK: When we go into the ETHER, the clarity of the image that comes through is almost comical - a little window of light opens up and shines down on us. A part in the clouds, a port in the storm, a beacon of hope.

Whatever is going on, remember: there is always the possibility of peace within; there is always the possibility of hope without. In a universe where everything is possible, and chaos is so evident, sometimes we have to be the ones who remember that a perfect solution is also possible. Especially if it’s impractical or seemingly impossible, we must remember that it is also, in theory, possible.

From the William Blake Tarot deck: the Child of Music comes forth through the ether:

“Piping down the valleys wild, piping songs of pleasant glee.”

The card shows a child in wolf’s clothing playing a carefree tune on panpipes. They are both disguising themselves to protect them on a dangerous or thankless journey, and also playing songs of pleasant glee to keep their vibe high, to not attract any spectral baddies while they make their way along an unforgiving path.

For Blake this is a card which describes a child learning to use their emotions and passions: highs and lows, to protect and bolster himself, instead of using them against himself. Bummer is that in the card he’s still a child, so the tools of music/emotions are not being wielded with authority. But we are not children. We can use our mind to focus on hope as we move down this barren corridor of the week before Mercury goes direct on Aug. 19th with Mars direct right behind it on the 26th.

If you do not master the emotions they master you. Another way of saying this is that your thoughts have a telescoping power to become magnified in the world around you. This is true all the time, but even more important and powerful during and after an eclipse cycle. This is actually also how spiritual possession works: nothing negative can attach to you unless you have that frequency in you or are asking for it to come to you. So the ideal practice is to keep focused on hope and positivity in order to innoculate any undesirable frequencies you may be attracting or projecting.

Elements of Spirit ETHER Reading, 8.8-8.15

ELEMENTS OF SPIRIT ETHER READING, 8.8-8.15

ETHER READING: 8.8-8.15

AFFIRMATION: "I VOW TO ACT ON THAT WHICH FIRES ME UP, WITH NO HARM TO SELF OR OTHERS."

COLORS TO POP: Gold, red, sequins.
CRYSTALS TO VIBE: Sunstone, chalcedony
OILS TO ANOINT: Cedar, Sandalwood, Cypress

THIS WEEK: There is a surge of energy in the heart, and an offering from the ETHER that can help to contextualize the last couple months. We have been going through a societal heart based evolution. The heart, like any muscle, must break slightly to get stronger, and thankfully the ether is contextualizing all the crazy goings on in the sky (and there have been so many) in this simple way. We are being fired up by being forced to rethink and re-activate our impulses as individuals and as a collective.

To understand the heart-based evolution we have been going through as individuals and as a collective, inquire in to the relationship between compulsion and compassion as it beats in your heart. What fires you up? What pisses you off? What makes you crazy? What gets you going? What makes you rally? What makes you fight? What makes you roar?

Asking these questions between now and 8.19 (when Mercury stations direct in Leo) ought to turn up some really good, new, useful information. We change all the time so even if you think you know the answers, now is a good time to re-ask the questions.

About a week later, when Mars stations direct on the 8.26, any frustrations we've been feeling (re: trying to understand ourselves, our actions and motivations, whatever we're working on, why we want what we want, and how to get what we want) should ease up significantly. This will make getting shit did a lot easier. But the increasing tension as we approach the release of fire on the 19th and 26th could cause aggression and nastiness, towards yourself and others. So try to use the most peaceful, heart based approach to getting what you want.

This is all summed up in this week's ETHER affirmation: "I VOW TO ACT ON THAT WHICH FIRES ME UP, WITH NO HARM TO SELF OR OTHERS." We made a promise last year during the Great American Eclipse of 2017. We get to make good on that promise now. The way is open... how shall we proceed?
