Tectonic Shifts: Bring on the Eclipse

Posted on November 15, 2014 by THOR in Everyday Astrology, Livin' the Dream

Stand your ground men! Stand your ground!!

The eclipse season is upon us. Change is in the air. Can you feel it?

On October 8th a New Moon, Lunar Eclipse occurred conjunct Uranus at 15 degrees Aries.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Well, a lunar eclipse likes to shut doors. Where as a solar eclipse opens them. Astrologers have suddenly taken on an notably optimistic viewpoint of eclipses. Which is absolutely true. CHANGE IS GOOD.

Though it may come very sudden. Most people do not like being knocked off their horse without warning. Which is precisely what Uranus likes to do: SHOCK YOU!!

As an Astrologer I have watched mySelf & others experience Uranus transits. It tends to look like that persons life just got blown up, or had the rug pulled out.

Everyone has Aries somewhere in their chart, which means that everyone gets the benefit of its effects. At varying degrees of potency.

Uranus for example, can bring on events like your apartment to start on fire while your in Mexico at a yoga retreat. Or, your landlord kicking you out of your studio with one months notice.

Uranus in Aries is the planetary force behind the revolutionary uprising of the 99%. And, to top that, the very second this puppy entered the sign of Aries the EARTH CRACKED OPEN in Japan causing the earthquake which brought about the damage we now commonly refer to as the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

This planet does pack a punch. Really though, it’s all for the highest good.

Anything that is taken away is no longer serving you. And, what will soon come take it’s place will be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

Remember this, when some important part of your life gets a real shake up. If you breath into it. Ground down and simply LET GO! (Even if it does take you the whole month or longer to finalize the process). Everything is going to be alright!!

Already, I hear whisperings of the changes that may come my way. Three years ago signs of sudden uprising in my personal life may have brought me to personal calamity. Not this time though. Not yet anyhow. I know for sure that even if a difficult path lies ahead it’s all going to be better in the end.

And, I don’t want a silly thing like change to make me upset. After all change is the only constant that we can count on. Right?

Think back to your own recent history. How has life been jolted for you? Were you the one in the drivers seat? Has recent past events left you in the swing of the pendulum?

IMPORTANT to remember is to Find your Center.

Coffee,cigarettes, booze, gossip, and getting upset will definitely unground you.

Grounding activities:

Tree hugging
Taking out the trash
Imagining Roots coming from your feet into the Earth
Being Outside
Giving Attention to Your Breath

In reflection, certain occurrences did leave me wondering about the future. I must admit however, everything that happened was certainly in my own best interest.

Then on October 23rd, a Full Moon Solar Eclipse took place at 0 degrees Scorpio conjunct Venus.

My heart opened that day. I gained a greater understanding of what it means to be open hearted. What I went through left me with a better attitude towards Life in general. The thing is– I saw what was coming and made a break for it. Yay!

If you’re interested in learning more about your own personal Astrology. What the universe has in store for you & what you have to offer the universe. Then please, be in touch!!

People always ask: Are you an Artist? The answer is YES!!

Met with a blank stare asking for more. Well what kind of artist are you? I sculpt reality, baby!!

As an Artist everything I touch is given my own personal creative attention to detail.

I do not limit myself to medians such as oils, acrylic or clay. The world is my canvas. My creative spirit manifests in a multitude of ways.

My aim more than anything is to cultivate an environment which inspires passion, motivates action and is conducive of joy & contentment.

As Community Outreach Carly for non-profit Working Bikes (2010-2012), I was given ample opportunity to get my creative mojo flowing.

Here is an example, of sculpting reality in the form of a brain pour for a party production!

What to Expect

Posted on July 21, 2014July 21, 2014 by THOR in Business Professional, Livin' the Dream

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

Appreciated here is the brief summation of the text.

A very important aspect in the realm of “Introduction.”

Here is what we will be diving into. Does this material captivate interest within you?

This particular piece is from a Mythology text book used by DePaul University.

Chosen as INSPIRATIONAL MATERIAL for my pet project The Smile Daily.

A good speech or paper goes like this:

This is what I’m going to tell you
Listen to me. Now I’m telling you
Here is a brief summary of what I just told you
BAM!!

On another note: it is both wise & beneficial to pull inspiration from a plethora of sources. Even better to grab it from unexpected places. Go for those that don’t exactly “meet up” with your subject matter.

Let’s elaborate this point: Your business has to do with bottle tops. While out on the town you see signage for tacos. Something in the verbage makes you say “Ah ha!” I can really connect to my customer with that. Grab that juicy nugget and use it to your advantage.

It’s actually builds a more solid foundation for long-term success to grab what works from different areas which do not exactly fall in the same criteria as your product. Essentially, Think Outside the Box.

Keeping it authentic creates product differentiation.
Good artists copy great artists steal. – Picasso

OWN IT!!

You can check the “excerpt” of each article I post on what to expect.

May the Force be with you!!

Wow!!

Posted on June 16, 2014 by THOR in Events, Livin' the Dream

Solving the Mystery of Wow Frequency

Betty Bot of Bot Bakery spotted her besty hanging on the wall while on the town one day in June.

The Lady quickly informed that she may have found a familiar faced portrait in a public space…

Upon hearing her Friend’s report Curious Carly concluded that she had just enough time in between gigs to investigate.

Off she rode! Headed west on Nomade.

As she neared the vicinity its scenery became increasingly familiar. Yes, North & Western is where it intersects. Yet!!

“This is a spot that I have come to frequent.”

Ah ha! Now this puzzle is beginning to make sense.

Upon entering Cup & Spoon, Carly found the folks to be quite friendly. Offering her water once she explained that it was too late in the day for coffee. Sharing in her excitement to be prominently displayed in a hip new space.

Come look closer at Tom Robinson’s portrait of her at 2415 W. North Ave., in Chicago. Celebrate the opening & the Wow Frequency this Friday June 20th from 6-10pm .

Self Historicization

Posted on June 3, 2014June 3, 2014 by THOR in Livin' the Dream, The American Dream

Hello!!
Carly here. With an attempt to put myself in our current historical context.
I am 28 years of age. Graduated college during the hardly heard of economic collapse in 2008– angry as a hornet.

Schooling really is watered down and lacking substance.
At my state school it was well known and accepted that the students refused to read text books. Professors had to learn to work around it. Not one of my classmates had high hopes for their future. The cubicle was calling. And, the college years were for celebrating life/ drowning sorrows.

Today, we are sitting in the midst of a square between Uranus in Aries & Pluto in Capricorn. These two planets were conjunct during the height of the sixties.
We could call our current climate a second wave. Which means more are to come.

Everyday I fight addiction. My self Love is on the rise. Still, physical desire is highly honored in this society.

No matter how well I relate to the esoteric world doesn’t change the fact that I’m working my ass off. In a what I refer to as “Argumentative Reality.” Creating what I need to satisfy my needs in this world.

The right attire really helps a person push their agenda at a party. But the right attire never seems to appear. At least in my mind. According to the outside world I get it right every time! All I want is to wear my own individuated uniform– which is much different from the uniform worn by the crowds of “individuals“.

Oh! And, I am an “early degree” Capricorn. 9 degrees actually. A point that was given ridiculing attention by the Lord of the Under World for major portions of 2011-12. And, we’re not done visiting that point just yet!
Nine is a very important number. Think of how the Germans use it. Nein! It marked the painful end before a new beginning could slowly begin. We are here now. Have you noticed?

As a Super Special Person who is always one step ahead of the game– Pluto provided me an early initiation. The only way he knows how: RAPE

By a man who I knew better than to have as my boyfriend.

I’m too lazy to be an outright radical. Sleeping in the street & protesting do not make much sense to me. Instead, I honor Radical Self Reliance: By Gardening & pickling. Or, by choosing to be a Figure Model.

My Love Life fits the bill of what’s HOT right now. At the moment it all still feels very hush hush. My intention however is to just Let it Out. All of it. What ever who cares. Right?

This essay reminds me of a most favored quote :

I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. – Frank Costelo
