Today has been a rather strange one, with up and down energies and even a little anger, which is most unusual for me. Perhaps it was the colour red that I wore today in honour of it being the day of Mars, God of War.

During the meditation class last night, we were talking about the different energies that resonate all around us, even the subtle vibrations that eminate from colours and how the choice of colour can dictate your pervading mood for the day. It is interesting how these things work and how too much can tip the scales. I guess for me, with all of the Pluto/Mars energy I have happening astrologically, the choice of red was a little too much for a Tuesday!!

It would have been useful if I had to go into battle, but as that isn't the case at the moment, it just highlighted my current lack of patience. I have a tendency to back down and bite my tongue in personal issues instead of standing up for myself and this is one of the things that is being highlighted at the moment and a call for me to be more self assertive and pro active. These are things I am learning but it all takes time. On the other hand, give me cause to fight for, and I am in there boots and all. That also is indicative of my Mars in the watery sign of Pisces, the spiritual warrior or fighter for the underdog. Mind you I am happy with it but there are times where I wish I could just tell people what I think!!!

Well enough of that - the meditation last night was a good one, I even had the opportunity to drift out for a few moments and gain some insight for myself. As the teacher, I don't normally do that as I watch my pupils very closely to make sure they are enjoying their time and not feeling uncomfortable, but as things were fine and all were well I took the opportunity to take a little of myself into a quiet place, while maintiang the connection to the room.

Meditation is a wonderful tool for self awarenes and self develpoment and I believe coupled with astrology the greatest way to unlock the secrets of the soul. Combined they are the most accurate way of seeing the self and guiding the self through life. It is also a great way to unwind, relax or rejuvinate. I don't use passive meditiation but a system I call pro active meditation, that is meditating for a purpose with an outcome in mind, very effective.

Well I have enjoyed chatting but unfortunatley work is calling as I have much writing to complete over the next couple of weeks. I do enjoy being able to sneak away every now and then and share my thoughts.
