~5 days of enchantment~day 2~

 

here we are on day two of Jani's 5 days of enchantment

 

so

 

air

 

i think being an Aquarian~the water barer and an air sign, this is perfect for me.

 

as i sit here typing i have a cool breeze flowing over me from the open window behind me and bird song floating in that cool air.

usually i sit outside in my nook burning incense and often take photos of the smoke as it rises~i have a supply of Glastonbury bought incense like jani and adore it (there shall be much re-stocking next Tuesday when i am there again!) but i also burn nag champa, a lose blend made my friend tilli and sometimes my own blend.

 

i also burn it in my work room when i am working although with a closed door between me and the rest of the house as swampy is not overly keen (grrrr!)

 

Aquarius is a fix air sign, ruled by eccentric and unpredictable Uranus and hard working Saturn~i am all about thinking, focus, humanity and rebellion!

 

 

take three deep breaths...

 

everyday, first thing, preferably out in your garden!

 

i do this each morning in my garden (unless our rain makes me think monsoon has come to the new forest!) i love getting out there as early as possible and just 'being' enjoying the peace and birdsong...

 

 

 

 



~is this me?~sun signs & elements~

i have been thinking these thoughts for some days now and decided it was time to write it down.

i am a water bearing, fixed (fixed signs can be found at the zenith of each season), original eleventh house, Aquarian, embracing the element of air.

i have always 'felt' an Aquarian, everything~well about 99%~ i have read about the sign i can say for sure 'thats me'.

... original, unruly and wild sign; restless and socially active; original with a strong independent streak; critical towards society, even secretly enamored with anarchy; tendencies toward humanism; privacy is important to them and dislike unapproved encroachment on personal space; dislikes control, ego plays, pointless meetings, narrow-mindedness,routine, fighting/violence, inequality...

Air is the manifestation of movement, communication, intelligence and can be felt in the air that we breathe every day.

In magical terms Air is the force of intellect, inspiration, imagination, the power of the mind...it is ideas, knowledge, dreams and wishes.

the element of new life and new possibilities.

It is the vital spirit passing through all things, giving life to all things, moving and filling all things.

Air, celtic name airt, is a light, active element and is contrary to Earth. It is associated with the qualities of darkness, thinness and motion.
