Saying Goodbye to This Blog August 8, 2010
Posted by wakingupgroggy in Uncategorized.add a comment
First I would like to thank everyone who has supported me with this blog, and those who’ve taken the time to make a comment, I appreciate it.
Life is changing rapidly for many of us, for me, being pregnant with my first child, this change is huge! My priorities are changing and my inner guidance is pulling me in different directions.
In addition life is getting busier so I don’t have time for updates.
I will no longer post anything new on this blog, however I will keep it up for awhile as there are some articles I’ve written that have had a great response and I’d like people to be able to access these articles.
Happy trails to all
and remember
it’s all good!

This will be the last weekly reading I do on this blog, I will follow with another post to explain. So here is the final reading, enjoy
This Weeks Reading
:
Picking up Speed
This week is all about accelerated motion in our manifestations and thoughts, so work on releasing any looping thoughts that don’t serve you.
We will finally start to see our efforts pay off and things move along. It’s likely to slow down with mercury retrograde later this month (August 20th – September 12th) so make the most of this week by going ahead with projects and putting into motion what you’ve been planning.
This mercury retrograde will likely be a strong one due to the summer’s t-square and this is a time you don’t want to buy expensive electronics, so this week would be a good week to make those purchases.
After quite some time of feeling stuck with feet in the mud this week will bring a welcome boost of energy to manifest our desires.
Have a great week!

By now you’re probably wondering “are we there yet?!” It’s been tough going for quite awhile now and what we’re experiencing now and through to the beginning of September is the peak, the climax the final push through. There are a lot of symptoms, lot’s of headaches especially down the back of the neck as we release old energies.
It’s vital through this transitional time that you transition. In other words, don’t fight it, feel it and find a way through it, change your ways. It might bring up anxieties, fears, worries, frustrations, depression and feeling generally unwell but it’s important to keep your chin up and make the necessary changes. That’s what’s in our face right now, what we need to change.
Remember…it’s all good.
Really it is, so don’t worry about the ultimate outcome, it will be for the best. Be in the now and deal with each thing that comes up with courage and if you have to change something, change it. If you don’t it will get much, much harder for you.
That sounds so serious and for some it might be like leaving a bad marriage or quitting a job. But for most of us it’s simply how we look at things, our belief structures that need to change. The older you are the harder that will be for you as you’ve spent your life believing something to be one way, and when that’s challenged it can shake you to your core.
However on the other side of that is freedom, beliefs are restricting and letting go of rigid beliefs is freeing. For example today is pride day in my city. Hundreds of thousands go to the parade to celebrate diversity and equal rights for all people. Many however, still believe homosexuality is wrong and fight it every step of the way as though they have a right to tell other people how they should live. This is one of those beliefs that will be challenged as it no longer fits in the new paradigm. Nor does our dependence on oil which, judging by the sudden increase in severe oil spills is also getting challenged.
How August will play out will be interesting and I think all of us will find parts of ourselves we thought we lost or didn’t even know was there and this will be empowering.
This Weeks Reading:
Home is where the heart is
This week we’ll focus on our family and close friendships. This is where we’ll find healing, joy and fulfillment. The relationships we create with each other is far more important than our worldy successes. They are the ones that cheer for us when we do well and hug us when we fall down.
This is also a week to focus on the home itself, home improvements, purchasing or selling and how we interact within the home. Perhaps this week we’ll decide to eat at the table instead of in front of the TV.
It’s also a time for recognition for hard work; we may get a reward, bonus of some kind or something that will help go towards our home or simply let us know that our efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Celebrate this week with family and friends in any way that’s meaningful to you…celebrate the gratitude you have for your family and show your appreciation, maybe have a bbq and invite people you love. Whatever you do it will be appreciated.
Have a great week!

This week begins with a full moon in Aquarius and we are now in the middle of the t-square and final Uranus/Saturn opposition. Things may feel intense, tempers might flare, things will change rapidly. During this time it’s ideal to be relaxed, calm and centered (as much as you can at least).
This Weeks Reading:
Wait and Watch with Faith and Trust
This week may feel like nothing is happening or rather things seem to be stuck in a standstill or you may find snags and delays. On the otherhand you may finally see the end to the waiting and watch your efforts blossom in front of your eyes.
Either way the energies this week are intense, but how we handle them is always about where we’re at in our heads and hearts. So the energy could manifest as heavy, hard intense or it can manifest as light, fast and exciting. This all depends on how much inner work we’ve done, how much we’ve cleared inside and how open we are to change.
Some people hate change, it terrifies them because it means they have no control. I’m like that and I find myself faced with fear every day while being pregnant. Things happen to my body I have no control over, nature is responsible for this baby, I can only be of assistance by taking care of myself. Not only that but once the baby comes my life will get flipped around; I welcome this change on the one hand, on the other it terrifies me.
That’s perfectly normal in the face of change especially if you have a need to control things or lack faith and trust.
This is what we’re all being asked to do now, have faith and trust. Trust that no matter what happens it’s for the best and have faith that all is well even when it’s not. Every day I have someone remind me of this and every day I melt a little bit more into it. There’s a part of me that’s scared something bad is going to happen and every day I have to work on positive thinking by allowing the fear but not allowing it to guide me.
If all else fails laugh and shake those little gremlins out:

This week leads up to the big t-square all the astrologers have been talking about for years, also the last time Saturn opposes Uranus. However the cards are favorable, this is a time of abundance and growth.
This Weeks Reading:
Reaching out to the Divine Feminine
It’s all about growth and prosperity this week. We will begin to see the seeds we planted grow and our ideas come to life. It’s a time to get in touch with our feminine side and the divine feminine in nature. Do this by visiting a body of water, the mountains or any natural setting where you can feel mother earth and her wisdom.
This week it’s also important to nurture yourself and nurture your environment. Be kind to others, keep your environment cared for and loved and respect yourself. It’s a good idea to think positive thoughts and just be in the now, not in some past dilemma but right now in this space. That’s where peace lives, in this present moment.
Eat good food straight from the earth, it’s summer now so it’s easy to get veggies from a garden. Give extra loving attention to animals and children and really try to get in touch with the part of you that feels unconditional love.
Enjoy this week and take care.

Today is the solar eclipse and the new moon in Cancer, how are you faring? I’ve found some agitations stirred up however a general sense of well being is starting to settle in. Although there is still some purging going on with these intense energies causing body issues, mostly it’s getting lighter now.
This is leading up to the cardinal t-square this month and next, it’s a very intense time…mostly globally but we feel it personally. Personally we are asked to clear old goop and awaken to our new shiny selves…this can be a somewhat challenging process but always worth it in the end.
This Weeks Reading:
Facing Your Shadow Self so Your Inner Light can Shine 
I have a feeling this isn’t just about us facing our own shadow selves, but also globally as many companies and governments will be forced out in the open for any wrong doings, or holding back information. We’ll all have to face our stuff whether we like it or not.
This doesn’t mean something drastic or bad will happen, it just means stuff we’ve been putting off or not wanting to deal with will bubble up to the surface for us to face. This is a good thing, we can bless it and release it and feel the relief as that finally leaves us for good.
On the flip side things we’ve been putting off or not bringing to the surface out of fear will also bubble up for us. This could mean finally going back to school and getting that degree, or finally telling that special someone you are in love with them and no longer fearing the outcome.
That’s the time we’re in; we’re being pushed to better ourselves and this week we’ll be asked to face our shadow side, our fears, or we’ll overcome our fears and step into the light and shine.
Take care

I pulled the exact same card as last week, this means that whatever you were working on last week, keep at it.
This Weeks Reading:
Keep Your Eye On the Prize
This is a time to remain focused on your goal and don’t allow yourself to be distracted. Take control of your life, you are the only one that can make it happen. Of course we get help from others but essentially it’s up to us to to do what needs to be done.
If you are trying to lose weight and get healthy you can hire a personal trainer to assist you but it’s you that has to do the work. That’s where we are at, we must stay focused on the end result as if it’s here now. Don’t allow anyone or anything discourage or dissuade you from achieving your goals.
Our souls are pushing us forward, we know what’s in our hearts and no one else can stop that. There isn’t a force powerful enough in the universe to stop the mission of our soul.
If you find yourself buried under the demands of others, or find yourself allowing others to guide you; please read my article called “10 Ways You Might Be Giving Your Power Away” for advice on how to take back control of your own life.
It’s important to concentrate on what’s best for you at the moment, because when you’re happy all the people around you benefit. This means take back the wheel and steer your own ship.

Knowing the Difference Between Intuition and Ego Based Fear June 29, 2010
Posted by wakingupgroggy in Uncategorized.add a comment
There is a fine line between following our intuition/inner guidance and ego based fear nudges, often we can get these two things confused. I’ve found in my experience that true intuition is a quiet voice that gives me an idea I quickly shoo away for one reason or another.
Recently, I started a part time class in an art school I’ve always felt some disdain for as I feel they’re pretentious. It never would have happened if I’d listen to my fears.
About 2 months before, my mother offered to buy art supplies for me so I could start painting again and I turned her down. I made excuses for it at first; I didn’t want her to spend her money on me, too tired, pregnant and it’s too much right now etc etc, something in me said ‘no not right now’. However a quiet nudge said “take a class at that school” I put aside my excuses and got up the courage to ask if her offer still stood and if I could use it to take a class. She was more than happy to pay for it and I’m so glad she did, it’s exactly what I needed to get out of a rut and get motivated. I also realized that school is great for pushing the boundaries of how I approach a painting and forced me out of my box. It wasn’t the school that’s pretentious, it was my fear that I don’t belong there.
We’re in a time when our boundaries are getting pushed, we’re being tested and our old beliefs challenged. If we have the courage to push through whatever fears are holding us back we’ll reap great rewards. This period may be difficult but it’s a gift to us from the universe to be happy and finally heal, sometimes we need a push to get there….and sometimes that forces us to do things we would never have considered before.
From now on whenever you have a feeling that prevents you from making a change or taking a risk; ask yourself if it’s your true inner guidance or your fears stopping you in your tracks.

We are now heading towards the solar eclipse and the big summer t-square. When we are sandwiched between the two eclipses it can be intense so it’s important to stay alert, well rested and calm. Also keep your thoughts positive, there is nothing to fear however having a heads up in advance can help you to prepare for any sudden changes whether positive or not so positive.
This Weeks Reading:
Stay Focused and Strong
We are all going to be tested and challenged in one way or another, whether it’s by outside influences or our own inner self, we’re in a time of change. Our souls are pushing us forward in new directions whether we like it or not, almost like we’re being forced to find happiness and peace as strange as that sounds. Many of us wouldn’t do what we needed to do in order to get what we want if we weren’t pushed.
Sometimes that means losing something, or losing a way of thinking or a belief and that can be painful. These are the times when we stand tall and strong and know nothing can knock us down because nothing and no one has power over you but yourself.
YOU are the master of your universe, no one else. Not your boss, your spouse, your parents or friends, no one but you. If you want to have the life you’ve always dreamed about then go get it! It’s not going to fall into your lap, YOU have to go get it yourself and that means hard work and determination. Ever notice how on the rise to success many people are faced with an extremely difficult challenge that threatens everything they’ve done and seems almost hopeless, but they didn’t quit…they persevered and because of that reaped great rewards.
That’s where we’re at, we’re in those difficult times that challenge our forward movement but this is where we take the reins and take control. This doesn’t mean be controlling, it means don’t leave your destiny in the hands of someone else; don’t let other people make decisions for you, don’t just hope the universe will provide and get swept up in the current. Do what you need to do no matter how difficult, painful or daunting it seems, if you stay true to your vision and true to yourself you’ll always have a good outcome.
A great piece of advice the wonderful Randy Pausch left us before he died (he is the Author of “The Last Lecture”) is how he never saw a wall on his path as the end; he knew that was the universe testing him to see how badly he wanted it. That’s our challenge, to not give up on ourselves and quit, if you want something bad enough you won’t let anything stand in your way.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a new business your starting, or if you’re trying to lose weight and get fit, don’t give up. Don’t feel beaten up and tired and eat a dozen donuts, it won’t help you. Don’t let obstacles get in your way, stay strong and true and know that you can!

Weekly Tarot Energy Reading June 21: Solstice, Grand Cross and Eclipse Edition June 20, 2010
Posted by wakingupgroggy in Weekly Tarot Energy Reading.add a comment
I was ready to pull a card that would speak to us about this intense week as we are in a grand cross, near solstice and the eclipse on Saturday. I expect this week to be intense and people have been fearing this eclipse/grand cross for some time…except the card I pulled is not at all what I expected. It was the complete opposite as it’s one of the most positive cards in the deck. We all have something to look forward to this week:
This Weeks Reading:
Fulfillment of Wishes
This can be read one of two ways; the first is many of us will feel better this week. We will feel more at ease, more in tune, more inspired and healthy. All the hard work of purging old stuff is finally going to pay off as we reap the rewards.
The second interpretation is a week where we finally release the things from our past which are holding us back, allowing us to be open to health and well being.
Regardless this week is all about working towards or receiving good health, success and vitality in a very real and substantial way. A gift to us for our hard work. We’ve certainly endured a lot over the past few years, and if we’ve done the work we will be rewarded.
However, it’s important to remember that there isn’t anything outside ourselves giving us the things we beg for if we work hard enough; we gain it ourselves from our own efforts. Like working out at the gym; over time you see muscles start to form and you get stronger, faster, leaner and have more vitality. It’s the pay off for hard work, dicipline, perserverance and a love we have for ourselves knowing we deserve to feel good.
It’s the start of summer; a time of abundance, rest and enjoyment. A time to eat sweet, juicy fruits straight from the trees. A time to eat salad greens straight from our backyard gardens. A time to swim in lakes, pools and oceans. A time to pull out the bbq and eat outside to the smell of freshly cut grass and the sounds of children playing in sprinklers. A time to spend lying out on the grass on a lazy afternoon with a book and a glass of lemonade. Who cares about anything else, enjoy all the splendors this time of year has to offer…
Have a great week and happy summer solstice!
