2015.. an 8 year!

The powerful 8 year is here, and January 1st is a one day. How cool. It’s actually a 10 day, the Wheel of Fortune. What auspicious numbers to start the year. Be prepared for opportunity. Center and get ready set go!

An 8 year will have us in a balancing act collectively. There will be a lot that will come together, and it will likely be fast and fierce. As a group, if we can come together and make adjustments in the moment when things occur before things get lost and we get distracted, we will swiftly move forward. A good thing to remember is to communicate directly and with lightning speed. Don’t get mired in minutiae, and keep things balanced. Act boldly and powerfully. Remember Ben Franklin, who warned about the danger of procrastinating. He’s a great example for this year. Check out his advice.

It’s Tower time

One of my favorite stories of all time.  The champion, Seabiscuit, who finally found his stride. It took an unlikely team of misfits who came together and understood this amazing horse with the big heart.

Have you seen a race horse at the starting gate who’s being held up? Have you seen how crazy they get? Do you ever feel like that? What’s the hold up? Where what you really want to do is fly! Together we are going to identify this. It’s time to let go.

I agree with a Zen way to get anywhere. Be simple, focused, and direct. The way of the profound is simplicity.

There is a call on Monday May 19th, at 7 p.m where letting go is the topic.

So, instead of going through a lot of hoops, the focus on this whole year is the Tower,  of letting go. Turning away, literally ignoring what doesn’t work. Pleading indifference to that which has been a struggle. Actually being uninterested in anything and everything that sucks energy away from what we are, what we want, and what will serve.

That’s the focus. Next is the Star, with a multitude of beatific showers of esteem, power, and love. It’s the abundance of a river with a clear direction and a velocity from the high.

The Tower

A personal tower story:
Snake oil. For me snake oil, is selling a promise, not an actual thing.
I, Andrea Rich solemly swear that I will not entrust my resources to any promises. Just because they worked for someone else doesn’t mean they will work for me, and my experience has been they never have. What has worked for me: buying a house, selling a house. Creating a product, selling a product. Someone believing in me and investing in me with clear and absolute understandable terms.

There is a business coach out there, Ramit Sethi who I’ve followed for awhile. He used to never sell to anyone who was having a problem paying their credit cards. Then a business coaching system came along that had such an amazing sell, that I chose it over Ramit.  I said yes, to their lofty promise. “you will be making 10,000 by July, I guarantee it.” It really wasn’t the right fit for me. I truly wanted a one on one business coach, yet signed onto the program, which included a little one on one. When I didn’t become a star pupil the business coach who I had worked with for a year showed little interest in talking to me beyond just wanting to sign me up for another year. They had their money.  Hard, expensive lesson for me. I am starting to get it. It’s freeing. I still follow Ramit on-line. He’s one of the few I’ve kept in my inbox. How funny. If only I had listened to Lulu, as she was hot on Ramit, and I was hot on the other. Whoa.

This is precisely why everyone has to find their own way. Know what you are looking for. This is also why I never make any promises. I am an educator in self reliance.

What’s happening????

I was fortunate to be in Florida for both passover and the eclipse on Monday the 14th.  After a wonderful weekend with my friend celebrating with the many people that flew in for her 70th birthday, we topped it off with passover at her daughters, then stayed up and watched the eclipse. What a great time. Now I’m back home, and this grand cross is scheduled for Tuesday. It’s going to be in the skies for about 6 months, and we all need to stay very present. It’s a potent time. There is a lot of information circulating about this event.

What I am sensing is this: whatever needs to come to the surface to be cleared will. Who will you be? Attached? That will be a problem. Take health for example. The linear way of fixing one thing after another, and giving over any power to another to be a part of this equation may not give results. The inner knowing inside every individual is being called to action now. Poor health is often the result of being attached to something that doesn’t serve. If we can observe whatever it is that we hold onto, this will give insight to what we are wanting to let go of in a very deep way. If we hold on we will be supremely challenged. So, that’s a practical perspective to look at if there is a sense of struggle. As simple and as difficult as this may be, it’s like the tower in the tarot. Letting go!

We need to really understand our own selves and get off the other. The focus is as always on ourselves. Take as much time as necessary in your cave, and emerge like a butterfly. Our filter is getting a tune-up. This very filter projects our movie onto the screen. This screen is is our contribution to life. It’s a great time to put the focus on the creation of new perspectives with a complete dedication to that, and settle for nothing less.

MYOB: Self Care Act

In the guide we go into scheduling 3 things in 3 weeks that nourish you. You’ll do 1! It works. How about making an appointment for something kinda big that you want to do for yourself within 3 months? I just did that. I scheduled a saltwater floatation in May. In honor of my birthday. It feels great to do it. As you help yourself others benefit. People in the service business love to put something in their books in the future. It sets the tone.

Fridays, day to recap and celebrate

So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of a man’s genius contracts itself to a very few hours. –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Interested in traditional medicine? Folk medicine is seen as alternative, even though it’s older and stores great wisdom. We are going to look at Friday. Once upon a time, days of the week were thought of in relation to their governing planets. Friday is the day of Venus. We think of her as love, and in astrology she governs wealth in ones chart.

Here’s some lore to set yourself up for success: Get up between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m. on Friday, meditate, pray, give thanks to the Goddess Lakshmi to enhance wealth.

In the tarot I equate Lakshmi with the Wheel of Fortune, so putting this into my own language… Do what ever you can to center yourself, clear yourself to be prepared for success and opportunities.

Why this? Who hasn’t had the experience of not being ready for a golden opportunity that has come knocking?

Use Friday, or any other day, just make sure you take time to do it, and clear yourself out. Complete with things and with strong intentions prepare yourself. What’s the saying about luck? Luck favors the prepared. Fortune favors the prepared mind.

Clear your own space with intention by recapping your week. Complete wherever you can. Consider what you want. You are removing anything in your thought process that is in the way of this. Free up for the weekend, and the week ahead. See what needs your attention. Then celebrate successes of the week. It’s all about the celebration.

2014: Your personal philosophy in motion..

Chinese New Year- The green wood horse is on Friday, January 31st. Let’s celebrate!

Clear your stuff the month of February! From the 6th to the 28th mercury is retrograde. If you are in the 22 day program, Wednesday the 5th is the last day, and places you perfectly in the position to seize the creative force of mercury bobbling backwards. One of its potent energies is to finish up things that have been previously started. Optimize theses powers and use February wisely.

Then you are ready for spring.

The power of 3

Essential to understand this. There are fundamentally 3 things that the world perspective will always be in tune with. Creation, preservation, and destruction.  Beginning, middle, and end. Get up, have your day, go to bed. Idea, execute, done with it. Show up, do your job, leave. Born, live, die. Notice when an actor recites a list, or they are looking for something. It will be the third one.

I will look at people’s lists. The top 5 ya de ya. The 8 things you need to know. You can always put those list of 5 or 8 into 3 categories. The only one that defies this a little bit is the 4 agreements. I will say, I generally can only remember 3 of them at a time though.  That’s my point! It’s natural to process in this way.

I give myself a checklist so my ego won’t screw things up and co-opt my experience. Which means, if I’m teaching something, before declaring that I’m finished, I pass it by a checklist of 3 things before I am satisfied.

I watched a documentary about Frank Lloyd Wright, and it was interesting to hear how his most famous home, Falling Waters, came to be. The story goes that Wright looked at the blueprints of the land for 3 months. It appeared to his interns that he was doing nothing. Finally, Kaufman, the owner, called him to say he was in town and wanted to come by. Wright told him that they were expecting him. In 3 hours he drew up the plans that were to become Falling Waters. He knew every inch of the landscape from studying the blueprints.

3 again and again. 3 weeks is the length of this new program. Chinese medicine understands it takes 3 weeks to break a habit. We can go on and on. 3 meals a day. Plays are written in 3 acts. I can give a full spread tarot reading, and I can also do a 3 card spread. They are completely satisfying and life changing. The Misfits Guide to East West Living: Minding Your Own Business, a 3 week program; it has 3 acts. Completion, Motivation, and Be the Art.

See you there!
