See Through Rising.
Lucky me, I caught a sky arrow (Sagittarius symbol) taking a heart to a higher place! And still I rise. (the video)
We’ll be looking at our own individual path quite differently during the next three weeks, as communicative Mercury escapes from the tights grips of intense Scorpio on Wednesday October 29, to find freedom in wanderlust Sagittarius. The energy with Mercury in Sagittarius can feel like a breath of fresh air, as we release dark moods, suspicion and control - so that our vision, connections and approach can expand. The eyes will begin to wander, while the mind starts to open and get curious about information that offers options, opportunities and possibilities. Knowledge is power. It’s a favorable time to work with creative visualization; to imagine what’s ahead, and to believe where you’re going - as a way to rise up with passion and realign with purpose.
The shadow side of Mercury in Sagittarius can be sassy, causing us to overthink, analyze, argue, talk to much, exaggerate and boast - which can distract us from our goals, causing us to completely miss our ride.
There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. Thich Nhat Hanh
This week’s aspects include a bulldozing Mars/Jupiter trine on Tuesday October 28. There’s a hopeful Mercury/Neptune trine, a consistent Mars/Saturn trine and an undisciplined Mercury/Uranus opposition on Wednesday October 29. We can be driven from the investigative Mercury/Pluto sextile on Thursday October 30, which is followed by a sweetening Venus/Jupiter square on Sunday, November 2.

On a personal note… hello again, and thank you for being here with me. Your patience is appreciated. As some of you know, I lost my mom a few months ago, and I’ve quietly survived a couple of ‘life-quakes’ and a few ‘Tower’ moments over the last few years as transformative Pluto (Death) sweeps through my astrological natal house of family, home, mother, childhood wounds, emotional security and foundation. Without going into too much detail, (because who has time for that?), I’ve experienced (again) how life will just pick us up (like pieces from a game of chess), then randomly move us into a whole new direction, a brand new life. It’s a dark and scary moment - because it’s foreign territory, which is totally unfamiliar - yet, these are the cards we’ve been dealt.
Since youth, I’ve always followed my gypsy soul and wild Sagittarius spirit, so I’m no stranger when it comes to journeying the ‘less traveled’ roads. Because let’s face it, life gets us active and moves us out of the comfortable zone - which is where we find change. And in this fiery energy, we can be deeply transformed by these unexpected outer changes, that simultaneously require inner transitions and adjustments to various levels of losses and deaths. Loved ones and unresolved situations simply disappear *in a poof* and aren’t our responsibility anymore - but we’re left in a position to learn how to deal with the physical loss, but also the emotional, mental, financial and/or spiritual loss too.
Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything, whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out. Tina Turner
I’ve walked (thousands of times) through all of the debris of what has been left in ruin. It was brutal - but the reality is, storms can be brutal. I’ve been learning that my cozy little cocoon wasn’t big enough for these brand new wings to expand. And even though my dragon wings are pretty tattered and torn - they’re lit with fire - raising me up from the ashes. I dunno, another tattoo? HAHA! I can breathe again, and I’m truly grateful for all the love, grace and support that I’ve received from my faith, family and friends; my beloved son, my daughter (in law) and our furry boys!
Despite spiraling through this storm’s purification process - I will always remember and be grateful in knowing that I was being blessed, sheltered and divinely protected. I have lots of space now, to be creative and productive with my work, self healing and growth - while still being of service to help others, with their own healing and growth.
When someone helps you and they're struggling too, that's not help, that's love.
Ms. Maya Angelou said it beautifully, ‘I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it’.
And still I rise.
Thank you for listening to my babble, but also for your hugs, support and good vibes. Much love, Suzi
Last, I fell in love with the movie and this beautiful quote from back in 2010, but after all the debris and broken rubble that I’ve been walking through - this message speaks in true poetry: “A friend took me to the most amazing place the other day. It's called the Augusteum. Octavian Augustus built it to house his remains. When the barbarians came they trashed it a long with everything else. The great Augustus, Rome's first true great emperor. How could he have imagined that Rome, the whole world as far as he was concerned, would be in ruins. It's one of the quietest, loneliest places in Rome. The city has grown up around it over the centuries. It feels like a precious wound, a heartbreak you won't let go of because it hurts too good. We all want things to stay the same. Settle for living in misery because we're afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked at around to this place, at the chaos it has endured - the way it has been adapted, burned, pillaged and found a way to build itself back up again. And I was reassured, maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic, it's just the world that is, and the real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.” Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love.
