The Lovers/Page of Wands. Gemini (I think) and Zain (sword), and Earth (cold/binds and dry/shapes) of Fire (hot/separates and dry/shapes), which is an explosive force, with the senses supporting the Will. Sheesh, strong day!! I am being told that what I want is important today, and if I see the potential around me through my own needs, I may very well end up showing others how to empower themselves.

My Thoth card is The Hanged Man reversed. As usual, Crowley sees more of the negative potential presented by this card than the positive. In an upright position, he sees this card as telling of a sense of fatalism as the seeker waits for something to happen. The seeker is not optimistic, and fears experiencing loss rather than gain. Because the card is reversed, my attitude about any suspension of activity is that I should use the pause to experience fulfillment and success.

My Legacy card is Strength. Fire (hot/separates and dry/shapes) and the astrological sign of Leo (I am) are the correspondences of this card. I am being reminded that Will comes from within, and just knowing that fact can be seen as offering personal power, or personal burdens. I should choose to see this knowledge as offering empowerment, and I should by example share this gift with others.

I feel great! I had a very productive weekend, and still found time to get together with family. I did not cross everything off of my To Do list, not by any means, but because I worked on clearing my mind and my body of any blockages, I feel very happy with the progress I made.

This morning, as I did my Reiki application, Cernunnos came to me. He reminded me that tomorrow was the last day of the 10 days of Reiki application that I had dedicated to him, and He told me that I should begin thinking about the next step (think about it, not take it!), which according to Cernunnos is the creation of the different cleansings that will need to be done in association with the proposed ritual Mystery and I are working on. Cernunnos reminded me that this would not just be a physical cleansing, and He suggested that we needed to cleanse the emotions, the mind and the spirit, both in the past and the present, and we need to cleanse any intentions that do not belong in the working at all as well as designate what He called “supporting roles” to those intentions that are a part of how we got to where we are and thus need to be acknowledged as such, but are not to affect the working directly. He told me that even if we never end up actually performing this working, putting in place these cleansings will benefit us both.

**smile** No mention of my efforts over the weekend, but somehow I get the feeling that if I had not lived up to His expectations, I would be hearing about it in detail. So no news is good news!
