Dove In The Foliage
What do you want to be when you grow up?’ the mole asked the boy. ‘Kind,’ answered the boy.
‘Nothing but kindness,’ said the horse, ‘it sits quietly beyond all things.’

2023 will be full of blessings
What a start to a year that promises to be game changing, ground breaking, pioneering and future oriented!
2023 will for sure be an intense year that will ask us to change in profound ways.
It heralds in an urge to break free from the past and start anew.
Be prepared for “reality” to suddenly stop playing by the old rules and be ready to renew the architecture of your life in coming weeks and months.
The New Moon and Jupiter are initiating and heralding in the New year that will see major changes and shifts as both Saturn and Pluto change signs in March 2023.
March 2023 is a particularly important month; this is when the most important shifts – Jupiter conjunct Chiron, Saturn’s ingress into Pisces and Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius will happen. This is when we will be presented with a completely new reality.
We are invited to restructure our relationships so we can find more equality, inclusiveness and respect for each other’s differences.
However unsettling these changes may continue to feel, keep in mind that whatever happens, it’s for our highest growth and evolution. All transits are gifts and opportunities to step into the next best version of ourselves with greater clarity and awareness for how we can create a better reality in our world.
Love & happiness for the coming year.
With love. PW ❣️
2023 On The Other Hand…Is More Of The Tapestry Of Life
No, 2023 won’t be the best year yet.
Nor will it be the worst.
You see, a year is a mosaic of absolutely everything.
Joy, fear, heartache, loss, beauty, pain, love.
Failure, learning, friendship, misery, exhilaration.
Each day, each moment even, is a tiny shard of glass in this beautiful, confusing creation.
2023 will be another mosaic to add to your wall of art.
A wall that shows the life, you are continuously gifted.
A wall that shows you are human.
A wall of survival.
I wish you many broken pieces of glass this year, my friends.
Because this is living.
And before you march on in to another year of ‘everything’, pause to look back, at the work you have created thus far.
It is quite something.
You are quite something.
Now onwards we go, my friends.
Onwards we go.

2023 - Everything Changes!
“2023 is going to be historic. Saturn leaves Aquarius. Pluto goes into Aquarius. We’ve not seen anything like this in our lifetimes. As the separation of worlds physically widens between those who are Devolving and those who are Evolving, your choices matter. Everything counts.
Here and now, strengthen your inner resources, insource the power you’ve outsourced to others and, when your consciousness needs to step out of its old limitations, let it. Give yourself the time, privacy and space to embody and integrate the frequency shifts……and be prepared for “reality” to suddenly no longer play by the old rules.”

2023 is The Year of Big Shifts.
Pluto In Aquarius
“Pluto will only spend 3 months in Aquarius in 2023, but that’s enough to give us a taste of what’s about to come in the next 20 years of our life.
Pluto is the planet of total and complete transformation. The outer planets – Uranus, Neptune and Pluto – are the movers and the shakers, however it’s Pluto that completely and utterly transforms our life. With Pluto, no stone is left unturned.
As the world goes through a systemic change, we too as individuals are asked to change from the inside out.
At a mundane level, Pluto will revolutionise our society. Aquarius is the sign of groups of people, and together with Capricorn, it represents society as a whole.
If in Capricorn, Pluto’s job was to revolutionise authority and top-down systems and structures, Pluto in Aquarius’ goal is to transform every aspect of our society, from social systems to institutions, the way groups of people relate to each other, or the role the state plays in society.
Jupiter Conjunct Chiron In Aries
On March 12th, 2023 we have a rare conjunction between Jupiter and Chiron in Aries.
Jupiter and Chiron only meet each other in Aries once every 50 years on average. This conjunction is particularly important as it will influence each one of us.
What’s even more unique about this astrological event is that Venus will also conjunct Jupiter and Chiron. Venus will make things personal, stirring our emotions, feelings of self-worth, and approach to relationships.
All Chiron transits come with an opportunity to heal deep rooted wounds and find wholeness. These transits usually come with a so-called “healing crisis” which means that initially, we can experience a worsening of symptoms.
Old wounds will resurface and we will again be reminded of painful experiences we haven’t fully processed in the past. This acknowledgement of the wound is a normal part of the healing process. Chiron asks us to pay attention to those parts of us we have neglected or hid away because we thought that they are somehow unacceptable.
Jupiter conjunct Chiron will help us connect the dots and see what’s the bigger picture behind these wounds, revealing the crucial role they have served to our growth and development."

2023 - A Year of Quantum Leaps and Paradigm Shifts
“Saturn will move into the compassionate sign of Pisces after nearly three years in the sign of Aquarius and Pluto after 16 years in the sign of Capricorn, will change signs into the humanitarian sign of Aquarius, transforming us collectively and personally to be in more alignment with “The Aquarian age"
Pluto will stay at the zero point for a total of three months until June, making the year 2023 a year of quantum leaps and paradigm shifts.”
Vivienne Micalleff -Browne
“This is what it feels like to be brilliantly achingly alive. Alive in the shatter. Alive in the empty. This is what it is to belong to things we cannot possibly understand. This is what it is to trust in the terrifying wisdom of our own becoming”
Jeanette Le Blanc
“Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.”
― Paulo Coelho
2023 - Heralds In The Incoming, Collaborative Aquarian Zeitgeist
“If you are a Sensitive, during these End Days between the expiring old top-down Capricorn control of the 1% and the incoming collaborative Aquarian zeitgeist next year, your heartfelt longing for meaning and direction may seem totally elusive, even futile.
The key is to drop outer world positioning or planning as your compass and, instead, to track the slender threads of your unique evolution via inner processing. Drop the outer search for self-improvement-the “ego in drag” as Ken Wilber calls it- and listen for inner resonance.
The mystery is this: when you follow the quiet but insistent voice of your higher Self-your better angel- there is one right thing and only one right thing to do at every moment:
Pay attention to those creaking floorboards, weak links and shifting tectonic plates wherever they are in your life - it’s time to let them fall apart, break and shatter
Identify what is NOT yours and disengage from it… cut the cords, delete your expired hopes, erase your broken yesterday from your story
Stabilise to become more resilient by re-calibrating aspects of your life that are no longer fit for purpose. Close the door behind you on what is not working, has never worked or isn’t worth the struggle
stop doing what you don’t want to do.
2023 - Re-ignites a spark in your heart, and restores your passion and aliveness
If you’re serious about evolving, then one of the most powerful disciplines is to consistently not do what you don’t want to do. You work out what you don’t want to do - what no longer resonates with you - and you stop doing it.
“No” is a complete sentence. “NO, I am not going along with my self-created misery for another second longer. NO, I am not going to paper over my feelings just to be liked. Enough is enough. I am walking with what I know to be true. How do I know? By intuition, by scanning my body and feeling what is arising there.”
There have been too many weak yeses and not nearly enough big NO’s.
Make it a priority to resource yourself in practical ways as fully as possible. We have all been under-resourced for far too long in terms of friendship, love, community, support and encouragement
allow interactions to be what they are, and only for as long as they are.
Don't get too invested in anyone or anything.
Watch out for old pathways disguised as new opportunity.
Watch for the turning point in each moment.
Connect with the parts of you that are non-Fragile and that actually benefit from disorder.”

2023- Soul Amplitude Rising
The mystics and seers and ecstatic poet-saints like Rumi and Hafiz were Soul-amplified, powered up. Their souls were catapulted into fields of knowing and that’s where they wrote from. They wrote from their EXPANSION. And they said some crazy, amazing things while flying in that secret sky.
And that’s where WE’RE headed: into SOUL EXPANSION. Soul expanding through our 3D avatars. Trippy.
Gently guided (sometimes pushed) by the Hand of Pure Love guiding us out of the OLD and into the NEW ...
Guiding us to
LIVE from
LOVE from
SPEAK from
ACT from
CREATE from
our EXPANSION.
Do you think Rumi could write his poetry from inside the box? Inside his 3D contraction?
NO WAY!! Rumi wrote from his EXPANSION. And almost ALL of his writing is ABOUT his expansion.
His fullness. His stepping out beyond the boundaries of his 3D skin.
“I am not this hair,
I am not this skin,
I am the soul
that lives within.”
~ Rumi
“The spirit is so near
that you can’t see it!
But REACH for it…
don’t be a jar,
full of water,
whose rim is
always dry.”
~ Rumi
And what if these symptoms and strange feelings we sometimes experience are physical body reactions to our soul EXPANDING beyond our 3D programming?
Our SOUL AMPLITUDE rising?
“This is love:
to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall
each moment.
First to let go of life.
Finally, to take a step
without feet.”
~ Rumi

2023 and Wandering Home
“I am making a home inside myself.
A shelter of kindness where everything is forgiven, everything allowed—a quiet patch of sunlight to stretch out without hurry,
where all that has been banished
and buried is welcomed, spoken, listened to—released.
A fiercely friendly place I can claim as my very own.
I am throwing arms open
to the whole of myself—especially the fearful,
fault-finding, falling apart, unfinished parts, knowing
every seed and weed, every drop of rain, has made the soil richer.
I will light a candle, pour a hot cup of tea, gather
around the warmth of my own blazing fire. I will howl
if I want to, knowing this flame can burn through
any perceived problem, any prescribed perfectionism,
any lying limitation, every heavy thing.
I am making a home inside myself
where grace blooms in grand and glorious
abundance, a shelter of kindness that grows
all the truest things.”
Julia Fehrenbacher
