Ariadne's Newletter Blog




Dear Friends, dreamer and readers,

I am grateful for the little things this week, like a foot-long squash from my garden and the ladybugs that keep other pests under control. Things like my daughter getting a job after a long period of unemployment. Not that it pays well, but it will do wonders for her self-esteem. Little achievements may seem like no improvement at all if we are only focused on manifesting our greatest desires. It may seem like we are settling for less when in truth we may need to be humbled a bit with limitations. What we don’t always realize is that limitations improve us spiritually. They teach us to value what we do have and not to focus so much on what we haven’t been able to achieve. Not everyone is meant to be a super star, but everyone is meant to shine. Each little contribution we make to our world creates ripples of energy that create bigger ripples in the pool of the collective.

May your little accomplishments be considered grand achievements this month.
Blessings,
Ariadne

Astro News--Lunar Eclipse July 7th


The lunar eclipse on July 7th will surely magnify the dynamic tension between the Capricorn and Cancer polarities, Father and Mother, two signs with opposing views. The full moon in Capricorn, the sign of patriarchal values will be eclipsed by the Sun in Cancer forcing us to focus on the Cancerian condition. What might we expect? We might expect an illumination of the shadow that has diminished the worth Cancerian qualities, values such as compassion, motherhood, and nurturing. Cancer, the sign of Demeter the maternal goddess, as the giver of the bounty of life is sometimes taken for granted if not out right ridiculed. Take for instance, Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska as a good example. We are liable to hear more of the details behind her untimely decision to leave her post as Governor, virtually ending her political career. “No it won’t be politics as usual”, says Sarah to the Capricorn administration. And let’s not forget Michael Jackson will be buried on this Lunar Eclipse, signifying a heart-wrenching end to a musical icon and humanitarian whose lyrics included, “We are the world, we are the children”, a tribute to children everywhere. His Cancerian qualities were something he was persecuted for and in the end his compassionate heart failed.

To use the energies of this eclipse for the benefit of all, I suggest you start the day honoring those who give so much of their hearts to you, who show you compassion and who give unselfishly.

Is it A Romantic Fling or the Real Thing?

How does a woman recognize her tendencies to create a soulmate out of thin air?
Here are a few common mistakes women make.

Equates sexual magnetism and physical attraction with spiritual chemistry.
A smile from across the room from a potential Mr. Right, for some women can produce a hormonal rush. And she’ll likely attribute it to the divine power of a spiritual connection if it develops into a full-fledged romance. But is she right? Not necessarily. True spiritual chemistry, the kind experienced by soulmates, is something far more powerful. Complementary harmonies that match and blend produce a familiar tune in each of their hearts. A divine spark is lit and the power between them becomes easy to recognize. The connection with her soulmate will heighten a woman’s consciousness and intelligence rather than reducing it to instinctual drives and mindlessness.

Pick up lines immortalized as love sonnets. What woman wouldn’t want to be told she was as beautiful as Madonna, the brightest star in the sky, as wise as the ages and so on. Seemingly sincere words uttered in the heat of a passionate moment are only words if not attached to a committed heart. A woman is apt to make herself lovesick if she memorizes the words, reciting them over and over again in her head as if they possess some divine power to heal all feminine wounds. She will tell herself only a soulmate could see her in such a divine light, even if her love interest is a Casanova.

Considers a man who looks like her romantic ideal her soulmate
Masculine characteristics and physical features that make the heart flutter may merely be the result of conditioning to physical ideals and stereotypes of manliness. A woman may also hold up male qualities such as stability, rational intelligence, fatherliness or even machoness and insist on them as her standard for a soulmate. If so, she has constructed her own archetype of a soulmate and will fall in love with the man who seems to project her ideal. Because he’s everything she asked for, in her mind he’s “the one”. Her personal tastes, however, may have thrown her way way off base. Her true soulmate may be an altogether different breed—an opposite who complements her own qualities rather everything she wants in a man.

Dreams Reveal Our True Value.

I was told a dream recently in which the dreamer dreamt he was being chased by Orcas, killer whales. When he stopped to face them, one Orca stopped just short of him and handed him a gift. To his surprise, inside the package were radiant jewels. The orcas in the dreamer’s dreamer, were his spiritual animal allies, acting as messengers from the vast ocean of the subconscious. They signified a higher consciousness able to navigate waves of consciousness. The gift of the jewels was meant to help this young man realize his worth as a radiant angel on earth. Each jewel would bring him greater understanding of his spiritual worth.
