'XIV Temperance' and Rhythm and Flow

Saturday, September 3, 2016.  Over the past month or so I have the foresight to observe my sleep patterns and compare them to earlier this year as well as to how I remember sleeping in previous years.  This is a bit subjective however I've noticed that in the two or so weeks leading up to our vacation I was not sleeping well Sunday through Thursday but sleeping very well over the weekends.  During our stay in Mexico I slept well and awoke feeling very refreshed most each every day.  In previous years and with having different jobs my sleep from what I remember was consistent throughout the week and I slept rather well.  Of course, I likely can confirm this or not by looking back over the years of my writing to see what if anything I recorded about my sleep patterns.

This week my sleep was terrible Tuesday through Thursday nights and last night I slept very soundly barely awaking even when getting up to use the bathroom.  This current job of mine seems to be more stressing on me than previous jobs.  And I think it's because I'm at odds with my employers in how they deal with and interact with their employees.   And likely because the job no longer reflects where I want to be or what I want out of life, if it ever did before.  I took the job simply because I needed a job.

I lit a candle this morning and only had the incense out symbolically as I'm not quite ready to deal with the smoky air it creates in the house but how great it is to see a candle burning and envision the smoky incense rising into the air...

...today's Pagan Tarot Energy is "XIV Temperance - Rhythm and flow of the patterns of our lives is most important, as we struggle to balance ourselves while trying to be in several different places at once; we must allow ourselves to be where we are needed, to allow the signs to show us where to go, and not try to polarize our attentions."

"Rhythm and flow"...a continuation of the theme from yesterday, the appearance of a bear in my dream the night before.  But what strikes me most about this Tarot Energy today is that we must "allow the signs to show us where to go, and not try to polarize our attentions".  We need to take a seat and let the energy of this day, of the universe to lead the way.  We need to stop being so controlling and yield to the awesome power of the universe and where it needs to take us for this is where we truly need to go.

And oddly enough as I was relaxing and sleepiness coming on, working on my model railroad came to mind, a weekend where my hobby took front and centre stage..."Rhythm and flow" indeed!

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.
