The ritual of crossing over an invisible threshold isn't new at all but people have been doing it for a long time. Thousands of years even..So to me it isn't that weird to know that tomorrow will be 2013..
I am very excited about it and a little scared of course.
In the course of a year so much can happen it all becomes a blur and then you look back and you have a twang in your heart because of losses and violent separations between other humans and yourself. And it is all because we don't want to change..the reason it hurts so bad I mean.
Also we are self serving and arrogant..that is Saturn in Scorpio right and and next year too.. so there is that aspect on this whole vibe..it is awesome because we get to do it again and do better..
The thing with rituals and the crossing over is important to me and in my mind, cannot be under observed. Look at how we still have weddings and funerals in churches, where we cry and beg the divine spirit to not forget us at our ultimate demise..
When I was a little girl in Proti Florina Greece, I remember such rituals of Christmas and the new year with Ayios Vasilis which we celebrated this time of year..

still on etsy
yup still on etsy.
Ok. ok, sometimes I go through my mental stuff...I want to be in a peaceful honey space. And all the friking nail polish on etsy is annoying! Not every day, but , quite often there are more and more business people making etsy sites because they know about 500 million people a year go there.
Hey man, people like nail polish..who am I the nail polish police? No. but ..in in my mind I think....
" Like I want to see nails everywhere" They put layers and layers of chemical latex bonds on their nails and they may be all yellow underneath..but that is besides the point.. There are many other products I would rather not look at next to mine..but then...
Look at us!! We are on etsy, looking at pretty things reading pretty words..hopefully some of mine.
The point is that etsy is awesome..you want a red velvet cape ( which dang it but I need one of those..), you can get one. You can get any color cape that an artist made on etsy...Perfume with natural oils? Yup, there are many..always read the ingredients..cute witchy names don't always mean aromatherapy.
People make nice things though, like my friend Matt who makes those sweet tea shirts.

he has taught his young un' Hungarian..so cute..
thank you by the way and have a wonderful day.

the dud
For months after cutting the soap, I would walk by and smell it, put it down, and think, "not ready" for months! My friend Tonie would say, "leave it, it'll be good"
I had doubts and once again, she was my wisdom magnet.
After a while and more than two months later this product had transformed itself into a special and spectacular soap with heavy vibes of protection and steadiness..I can't seem to find the photo but you might have enjoyed a bar..that was the past..and....I was also going through a Saturn aspect in my chart..Saturn is really important and worthy of investigating where this giant is making magnetic angles in your chart...
Saturn teaches patience
integrity
humility
skill
knowledge
bones
teeth
logic
growing up
in allowing others to shine, you get brighter
say you are sorry
Saturn wants you too..plus Saturn makes you be you are sorry..true story::))lol
Today we have my gorgeous satsuma which I added a whole heap of orange wax to.
I am heavy handed at times..orange takes a long time anyhow and now orange wax even longer..
At the very worst, we will have to toss it..or in 6 months it'll remind us of Italy in Summer..Italy should smell like mandarins and oranges and maybe you are on a marble patio overlooking the sea..with citrus trees all around and as you know you can always walk by and pluck a lemon blossom and blow yourself away because nothing you had smelled in a bottle can compare..unless of course you go to the next tree and also pluck a bitter orange blossom and you rub that one on your heart..
have a wonderful day"_))

the past
Have you ever written something, a poem perhaps and then gone back to read it years later?
I have a hard time with that. It is weird to go back and glance at the frame of mind you were in a year ago on paper.
I usually stay within a few weeks time frame because when going back to read, you have to edit yet more embarrassing errors. Or, you are like, "Did I say that? What a geek!"
The past is so messed up, yo!
In the past people fuck you over or you have done it to them.
Well, perhaps we expect too much from others and not enough from ourselves.
All I am saying is, emotional drama happens, take it from me. With 7 children, there is always one giving me heartache..anger or sadness, it is still all the same heart wrenching human condition.
There is a trick to not getting too involved in their life but having boundaries enough to get your way in all things..
Do you think that is a selfish way to think? To demand your own way?
I don't. This is ma house..no smoking, no perfume unless it is mine or Justine's and no traffic in my bathroom..
More importantly in this little rant of mine is the fact that each morning you get a chance to do it all over again.
You can wake up and blame yourself for ruining your own life, blame everyone else. or smile and be glad and don't have a ruined life! What, one little thing crushes you and now you are dead? No!
Be glad and measure your talents daily and say thank you for all the goodness..all the goodness and wonderment of being. Remembering, having good food and being warm under a full moon on an icy winter's morning..
that's the stuff!
thank you:) have a wonderful day.

Happy Full Moon
We had our first big snow fall yesterday. It is always exciting to see that much snow falling and covering everything white. So cold and the wind has been howling before all the snow came.
Wind is comes to clear the air.
It is about ideas and it is about cleansing both the body and the mind.
Now as winter settles in to it frosty rest, we too can take reprieve and rest our weary minds..
The full moon exposes true intentions and one must gather them and decide where one stands..you sit on the fence and get pelted by everyone..you take your place, be quiet, and you will be peaceful and calm..
Who am I a philosopher?
lol
Pluto is going to play it big for the next few months. I know this because I follow Pluto in my chart big time.
In my first house at this moment and perhaps for the rest of my life here on earth.
Pluto has had some touchy angles in the last few months and with Uranus involved, it can be violent and passionate at the same time.
It is like "he loves me he loves me not"
he love me
"he" meaning he, she, them, it, god..
look at it like this
you have a ram and a goat serpent in a battle or grazing peacefully on the mountain range enjoying their lives....
because in the end, it is about happiness and contentment and that there is never an end..everything is always continually expanding, changing, disintegrating, coming back together because each cell has a memory.
now my brain is thinking about this;
if all that is true and each cell has a memory, and in the beginning after the big bang , our planets formed, the exploded in heat so hot that it is inconceivable to fathom and that is what mystics back in time may have thought was Hell and God punishing us..maybe some have visions of what happened as we have formed in time...
maybe it is our cells remembering all that and yet through that, fire and brimstone, we have flourished and become more intelligent than ever before!
now my brain hurts for all that big thinking!!
lol
have a wonderful day!

Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara
Matt Smith (Dr Who) is Scorpio and his new companion Clara is Taurus in real life..
They have a certain chemistry which ooses brain plus sex..
That is Taurus and Scorpio together..intense, sexy and earthy with a little sting...
what do you think??
Dr Who Ideas by me, anastasia...lol
update after the episode: The Snowmen 12/26/2012
In spite of all the commercials and breaks I loved it. I need to see it again because Moffat is so fast, you are like supposed to already know stuff..I love the doctor, all of them...and we still cried at the thought of Amy..
My daughter Emily, was a little confused as he is married to River, as you may recall, .but you must also know that River died in the Library episode and they are in reverse time with each other.
One of my favorite and most creepy..they are all a little creepy. Dr Who;The Library..
I hope that you get to see this and as for me, I will wait for the box set of the season to really indulge in The Dr and Steven Moffat's style of writing.
I still miss Russel T..he made me cry at every story. He can rip your heart out with words that man can..

aerobics
Remember when jane fonda had dance exercise books and we would go to Bally fitness and do aerobics?
Well, in the olden days we would learn routines that we did to the beat of each song and they were the same every time.
I still think I can do the whole set of 9 to 5 with dolly parton or something..hah hahahaa
By the time I started teaching aerobics ..you know, you go to class so much you fly through that..I was an ok dancer..if it weren't for my bow legs I would have gone far..lol not really..I went to real dance classes all the time and could not keep up to save my life.
But I still loved the movement and excitement of dancing.
and by the time I began teaching, I wanted to dance to billy idol and the kinks..people would walk out of my class. Oh man that hurt.
Then, something happened. My classes became so full that there was a waiting list.
I made it fun, it was loud, I ran next to them, I did 500 or more sit ups a day.
(you can still see my six pack under a nice smooth layer of fat that there is at this moment:)
In your 20's you can do so much more physical stuff. I know, I know, you are as old as you feel. It is true but your bones can only take so much abuse not matter how much botox you squirt in your eyebrows....
then again that crease would go away..botox...really? For about 1500 dollars, you can inject enough filler to make your self look 20 years younger....
the future is creepy sometimes and then it is just like we are making it, I suppose.
I mean I think my mom who never wears make up looks really pretty..she was so pretty as girl, we all were.
I think I will not mind my crone phase at all, I'll be graceful as I age.
happy festivus
2013= 6

the pope
It is blasphemous to talk about the pope..course their kind made up the word so we would all be afraid..and believe me, we were in light of the consequences.
What does that guy have to do with making the rules of who goes to heaven? Or who has sex with who?
Honestly, I don't think a so called monk need avail himself in current events but instead should be in his cave meditating.
and Santa..what is this modern day retail booster have to do with solstice, sneaking into bedrooms making lists..??
He knows if you're awake..la la
he can go to jail for that I am sure and yet every year we sing his song!
Santa is Oden, modernized by Coca Cola..
see back about four thousand years ago while cultures on earth, decided they were the chosen people, the northern people were making up stories of their idea of god, Oden, Thor, Freya...others were looking at other options to say god..
after about two and a half thousand years, a collective group of Christians had a meeting and made Jesus's birthday be around celebrations of yule that simply would not go away....people have their customs!
Even after 500 years of hearsay, after he was gone, they most likely did not know..they only knew where the stars were during a roundabout time...some say that is January 6th others say, March, April....point being, everyone wanted to partake of feasting during Saturnalia and all that fun.. so this is Christmas..and what have we done..
Oh, The Romans celebrated Saturnalia during Solstice..and the druids had their own thing...
It is pre dawn here on pre Christmas eve...
I can't sleep. This does not often happen as I usually sleep like a log..a yule log!
God's name is sweet in any language..

libra men
Libra men are zealots!
They are collectors and love metal.
I meet one now and again and we totally hit it off. Libra men are funny, quick witted and overweight by what, 60..50??
Sorry guys, I meet a lot of men and by the time they get to be my age and if they indulge in beer and cookies, they break down just as much as all of us women..
When I was 20 ish I ran, rode my bike, went to the gym and then martial arts after that..now I go to work, walk about 10 miles up and down stairs, come home and rest from all that. I never go to the gym as i have developed some sort of aversion to the sweat factor on equipment from other people.
Anyhow this story is about Libra men...and how they always like me..not many men do..it is complicated lol~
Like this overweight Libra dude that came in last night, he was my age, rather tan, and spoke of his cars and his accomplishments in collecting and how he bought a car from warner brothers from the dukes of hazard..
"oh, cool" I said, when I saw them..he had pictures.
And then asked him why needs so many..9....(maybe he has money, it is very opulent in bloomfield hills michigan)
He spoke of his mom a couple times and how he can't leave her..awe!!!
I love my mom like that, I thought to myself right away.
But Libra on Libra just doesn't work for me..too many Libras in a room and I get very tired of boasting after a while..see how it is complicated? I am like the princess and the pea about men...
Libra loves to have been accomplished, they do good work and have high intuition. They can see light around people, at least I can. I can see the obstruction if I want to look. I am never wrong..it is a gift from God, ma'am!
there I go boasting,lol

my name is anastasia
"what's your name again"
people ask me all day..all day I say!
ann ana anastasia tashoula and yes they all have their own profile..
ann, innocent but still a zealot and unconventional
ana, more compassion and guilt than ever before
cried a bunch during that phase..
which is why some people pull you towards them. To purge something. i would guess that my marriage to, you know, that guy..was the cause of much of my sadness ( he loved to prove how diabolical I was, ass!))..oddly enough, I did some great work back then..as good as now?
No way! I can still use all the best oils, avocado, shea butter, cacao..they are all at my finger tips and any oil I want comes to me as much as I want..but not all there is because there is enough for all of us! This is what i love, and this is who I am right now.
***special
elder hawthorn red clover soap with red clover extract, violet leaf, elder co2, marjoram, african lavender, rosemary...
leave this be for as many and three, four weeks
and it will unfold something nice..your hearts desire as clover opens the heart and hawthorn protects it. Knowing your higher purpose and doing good deeds is the way to freedom...clear your mind from all debris, all sadness.
we are one
breathing light from our sun
thriving
each cell with a its task
gladly knowing what to do
instinctively
saying, "i love you"
:):))))

cacao to cacao
I am so in love with vanilla or should I say vanillas?
The Madagascar version is my favorite..funny so is vetiver from there.
Everything I get from Madagascar is fragrant, smooth. Don't get me wrong, I love all of them, the Tahitian vanilla total is fantastic.
What better to pair with than cacao??
That is how you say it now. Not cocoa but "cacao".
Why the change in wordage, you might wonder?
Well the people that harvest and roast cacao beans speak mostly Spanish but not limited to. Anyhow the rest of the world calls the chocolate, cacao after it's processed in to a dark brown powder or paste..
The seeds are harvested and roasted..to be raw I would assume at very low temps below 115 degrees.
I tried making cacao when I was in Costa Rica, but it was such a pain in the aasss that I quit. I only had like 5 or six beans anyhow. It takes a long time to do anything without equipment but the people there adapt well..us, not so much.
There was a time when Costa Rica produced a ton of cacao, but there was some sort of thing that killed most of the cacao in the northern areas..sad..don't worry, there are people down there who are planting new crops and maintaining the plants health organically.
Vanilla grows in the same areas too. Hot, damp, rainy, sunny, well drained..Ah, what a life for some. I would love it, if my mom and dad and all my kids were there with me..my family, what with all their little quirks, that is where I am happiest, I think.

ever since the number seven
..and other not so random thoughts....
The number seven comes up for me a lot. Probably because I have a 12th house Saturn and all that goes with that.
And, probably because at this stage of my life, I am continually changing into what I'll become.
Take work, for example.
Well, guess what? All the negative people have gone. There are those there:) who just want to go to work, do well and enjoy their job...
as much as you can in a retail setting, and I can attest to the fact that it can be really fun and really good...
people are changing however, they watch TV and wait for a TV doctor to tell them what to do, they don't even use Google for gosh sakes! Books and such things are going to be more of a rarity, I am afraid .but hey, that is the out side world my friends. Not us!
We are always looking, examining, considering the karma involved..karma...the personification of cause and effect, the law of attraction, the secret, om..
Anyhow I am always reviewing the seven.
It comes before 8, :)..
* is my favorite
* it is about fighting, reviewing and realizing that sometimes you can walk away from a fight, you do not have to argue every point and not every attack is about a war...it is about valor, being scared and doing anyhow.

The Seven of Wands can also indicate strong convictions.
In order to take a firm stand, you must believe in your position and yourself.
You’ll need integrity and strength of character to see you through.
If your cause is just, use the energy of the Seven of Wands to make a difference.

And, probably because at this stage of my life, I am continually changing into what I'll become.
Take work, for example.
Well, guess what? All the negative people have gone. There are those there:) who just want to go to work, do well and enjoy their job...
people are changing however, they watch TV and wait for a TV doctor to tell them what to do, they don't even use Google for gosh sakes! Books and such things are going to be more of a rarity, I am afraid .but hey, that is the out side world my friends. Not us!
We are always looking, examining, considering the karma involved..karma...the personification of cause and effect, the law of attraction, the secret, om..
Anyhow I am always reviewing the seven.
It comes before 8, :)..
* is my favorite

The Seven of Wands can also indicate strong convictions.
In order to take a firm stand, you must believe in your position and yourself.
You’ll need integrity and strength of character to see you through.
If your cause is just, use the energy of the Seven of Wands to make a difference.

Whitethorn and Elder Soap
I am steeping that all day and will cool it and then really grind the herbs with the liquid. This, I will add to soap in the final phase with the following essential oils..er, all that you see in the photo.
Elder flower, linden, sweet clover and red raspberry..the marjoram essential oil is from Oshadi..it is perfect unto itself..
This blend of herbs which one would drink of they weren't a saopie, is an a excellent tonic for kidney and heart. hawthorn is well regarded among alternative folks as a helper of heart health. It has a property which helps break up fatty sticky stuff in your veins..If you are looking for an herbal experience in soap and wish to stimulate your circulatory system, you would do well to choose hawthorn as a daily tea and take a bath with my herbal creation..I am making soap with it. It'll look very herbal and you should use a bit now and save the rest for May Day celebrations..
Do plant yourself a hawthorn in the yard, the flowers are so nice in spring.
what do you think of this combination up there? Nice, right?

gg neroli
nerol
gg neroli
"g" for gratitude
graciousness
goddessness
grub for goodness sake!
Creamy goodness, pure Tunisian neroli and loads of shea butter in soap is a once in a while luxury. This is that once in a while!
I am in awe of oils! I love them so much. I love neroli so much..so so so so much lol
Trouble is, unless you use a whole bunch and for us working girls about a 100 bucks worth is stretching it.
You have to "gird your loins" ( as my Tonie says) in order to made up for that kind of expense.
(BTW, that may be the right idea, but you get it)
you know what I say?
"Is that all, give me two!"

Thank you for this day
thank you for all the money
thank you for delicious food
thank you for soap and essential oils
I call this soap "satsumas"
My friend Michelle, sent me a wonderful parcel!
Orange wax which she has kept in refrigeration and she doesn't want it to just sit there, she gifted me with it..
A whole kilo for gosh sakes!
She loves me, and I love her..golly, how long have we all been making soap now?
I made this soap..last night.
Red mandarin oil with orange wax..
I wanted to put neroli and I thought about that, or black pepper.. or patchouli..yummm
no..
I held my hand with both hands;)
made it simple
it is bright
with subtle mandarin smoothness and joy mixed in.
There will be plenty of time to make more stuff..how about geranium, anyone craving some about now? Not everyone loves geranium, and I can take it or leave it..right now, I can take it, I even want some. A good geranium oil can be hypnotic.

salt scrubs
I have a soapie who loves loves vetiver! I swear that girl must smell amazing at the end of the day because that is how vetiver works. It bides its time and just gets better on you through the day and then at dusk, you get another layer of its gloriousness!
I hope she likes these:) I am also making more vetiver soap for her and maybe a couple of others who might like that earthy goodness!
I love the jars because they provide a secure seal and no leaking is important for someone in my line of work..that and hairs..which is why I am considered OCD about the floors here.

dark moon work
means rest and thinking, scheming, stocking of thoughts, smiling secretly knowing what you know you want, every thought and every whisper of a dream can become real if you intend it long enough..
I am intending flourishness
knowledge
more knowledge
farming and all the miraculous oils we can get our hands on:)
next soap for yule will be......
"satsumas"
a red mandarin neroli soap
And for me and Tonie,
Geranium Bourbon and Vetiver Soap.
I happen to, right now have, an awesome smokey vetiver and also a super fine geranium oil.
What do you want me to say? It is smacking good. It is deep and sultry and the vetiver makes it more so. You are left with a glow which is undefinable. Thoughtful? Yes!
Like a fire in the woods and a woman... burning with fervent ideas, mysterious and handy at the same time.

Merlin and patchouli oil reference
they use real references to oils and homeopathy all the time on the show. My kids are like "too bad it was cancelled" Merlin prescribed patchouli for circulation and blood thinning....
Some things are only meant to be with us for a while I say..it got cancelled because the writers were able to be as creative as they have been and can only create so many scenarios of Camelot being under attack!
I love the energy of the writing and the acting.
A Libra to play the king. He is cute..and the guy who plays Merlin is a what else but Capricorn!!
They both display perfectly their signs, too. Libra's ability to smell good and still allow for jack ass situations and then there is the Capricorn, able to laugh at him and know that he is something more powerful than any earthly king could create and yet he is still humble..biding his time, changing things with his will and ability to see though all the way to the edge of reality...
Capricorns are like that, man!!:):)

archaic yultide
since before they began writing things down, men and women had festivities during this time of year..
it is cold
all the fields are resting
there is plenty of food
and fermented drinks
beer
beer really saved the world probably..it was a clean way to get liquids in you even when the water isn't so clean and it makes you feel nice. This note isn't about beer though. It is about me making a ritual of soap and scent and texure....
two months of festivities were the custom December January...so it shall be at my place!
I will begin with my gift of specially prepared resin and black walnut soap.
There will be 11 more creations coming during this best time ever here on Earth.

Archaic Yuletide A Black Walnut Soap
https://www.etsy.com/listing/117420207/archaic-yuletide-a-black-walnut-soap
In prep for this batch I gathered my resins. larch, cedar, mastic, myrrh, and ground them as finely as I could.
I then slowly simmered this in a stainless steel container in a water bath until it became a loose paste. During this phase I also added the balsam fir absolute which really needs a hot process melt to be loosened up a little..it is weird sweet and tangy and sweet again.
This was poured in to a soap formula at trace..trace mean that the soap cream is ready to be poured in a mold and have its chemical reaction...om...
Once thoroughly mixed in the resins dispersed evenly and very smoothly in the soap cream base! jajaja
I then added the walnut powder and essential oils of frankincense, cedar, cyprus and templin fir cone:)

mugwort and mistletoe
Next time you need to relax and just chill out, go ahead and smell some mugwort.
Today I did just that. I took a long drag man! I inhaled the scent to get the the feeling it gives! I had a bowl of oils ready for soap cream, I poured in the mistletoe extract and then the mugwort.
It gives a feeling alright!
I almost passed out.
I began to sweat and my head was spinning. I had to lie down for about twenty minutes. When it was all over, I was relaxed and focused. I finished my chores and relaxed a bit more.
Ah mugwort!
What adventures there are in soapmaking, right?

christmas smells
what would they be...
would they be anise and mint
or cinnamon with orange
or spruce with fir
and frankincense and myrrh?
I want them all for the feeling. the coming in the house and it smells of all these plus bread in the oven or some goody on the stove.
I will make a soap for yule today.
It should have some resin and melted things in it.
I'll infuse it with my thoughts for the amazing year which has been
and I'll conjure delicious schemes for the next which we shall easily navigate and create like a magical children
soap to be made 12+6+2012=14=5
a great day to chill and be internal. 5 is about resting getting over a cold and actual chills, meditating, breathing....understanding without reacting..comes easily
old whore
yule
a third one too..
what, patchouli mandarin??
(I need to think about that, it'll be a surprise, a last minute thought)
I have been wanting more cardamom lime soap. That was such an underrated soap and so creamy. All I did was add organic thick coconut milk at the finish. It made a nice hard bar too.
Lime is one of my favorite oils. So fresh and bright!
I should make more of that one.
ah the old whore she opens doors xx

Mercury and The True Node In Scorpio
Mercury and Venus too, Saturn in the beginning stages of Scorpio ..yea...
The True Node is a place not an item like another sphere. Apparently it has powers to bring good and better days. For Scorpio, that is so welcome. They are the last to complain and say they are weak right now, to say they are sorry and to ask for some compassion..all true.
I am talking about Scorpio because if ever in the year there was a time to hone in on some thing which needs clearing out and deciphered, it is now.
Lessons learned and new beginnings are all in order. But not before some tears are shed. Cry for the good, I say! Cry because you are safe and someone (many) loves you..otherwise the venom which you create with your thoughts, poisons you, I mean, where else is it going to go?

I am not shipping soap today like I thought I was going to.
My schedule at work changed. When you work a job like this, you have to be accountable..well I do anyway. We invest so much time with all those people and then the corporation runs on a rhythm on to itself....I am off tomorrow and would rather handle your packages calmly without work related issues surrounding my brain.
My awesome job....how I've grown and enjoyed the process. I have grown to love certain people in the time they spend in my rhelm (spell that one) if you will.
The Gemini guy, gorgeous))..the Aries girl I work with, ( she is brillant) The Sag girl who I will argue religion with, she is Armenian and freaks out if you mention anything about science..the Capricorn Aquarius really big guy who stuns everyone with his leader abilities. Some men are born to control a whole group, yes?
There are also many Libra men who work with me as well, and Libra women too. We Libras, we must enjoy the service, the status and trust of clients and such..they are all so smart and diverse. I mean how else would so many Libras get together in one place? If you count all the people who run the store, Libras are there at the toppish:)
But..we are also behind the scenes too. We are awesome at not leading..we are awesome at attracting and enjoying while being precise, we Libras are.
Cancer women now , are more subtle. sexy and curvy they are... I work with a Cancer girl who is so ficken cute! Her ass wiggles when she walks away and yes it is fun to watch men hang around her...puppies all of them..all she has to to do is unload boxes. I should spray some vanilla patchouli on her..I gave her some sulfur soap for her skin. She used it. her skin did look better.
I love them, even the Virgo ones, even them:):) (kidding) stop being sad Virgo dear, the best is yet to come!
Virgo is smart funny charming but the best thing to me is Virgo is, compassionate on a personal level. They will not go and save the world for you, but they will be there when you are crying, they will tell it like it is and they will be understanding. Someone has to analyse and decipher!
more on people later.
"I am opening my heart and turning in and all at once to have expanded out to everywhere, my thoughts are like seeds spreading across vast waves of time and space"
I hope you are well and happy to have read this, thank you:)
:)

etsy
lets us see..
a person works to make a masterpiece..
(or one which they deem so)
anyhow, they work and they wrap and they set up a shop for handmade things that is easy to navigate on line.
etsy..awesome people, good crafters, nail polish makers..fine I'll join..
90% of me loves it. I attract a customer who knows what she ~ he wants and loves aromatherapy..it is special to me.
Go to the bath and beauty home page on etsy and tell me how many brown dog poop soaps you see. There is always at least one..this morning there are three!
Think about this..now 3... whoa, 6 and then 12 dog poop sellers!?? What sort of gag is this?
I suppose that is what one might consider as life's "fecal notes"...

Pluto in Capricorn and what do I know about it
All I know is that I have The Moon in Capricorn and Pluto is lingering at my ascendant ..and that should give me a pretty good gauge to me as to the flavor the vibe and because Pluto in Sagittarius was passing over my 12th for so many years.
Well, I know this much..Pluto in Capricorn is still kicking my but. In a good way in many different ways but also in a hard my bones hurt sort of way as well...
(notice the use of so many W's in a sentence..That was Pluto in Capricorn!)
I get frazzled with money..that is a big one because I love spending on food, oils, and books.
I work full time
I maintain a lovely soap business which also takes my time
do all the laundry
I clean the kitchen daily, they all help a little..my home is tidy and smells so good..
I study with Emily, she is so smart
nap
watch a Merlin
I do not want to make plans or hang out..
I do not fit in with the in crowd
I do not want to date
Tell me about your impressions of patchouli and vanilla together and how that makes you feel.. maybe we can have tea together:)
other wise your accomplishments seem like bragging.
Look in to my closely into my eyes and let me smell vetiver under your arm pits and vanilla in your breath... allow me to hear your ideas on God and how we are already infinite and part of a huge exploding star...
xx
If Pluto represents "getting rid of" processes, one would do well to look at the house that Pluto is visiting for the next 7ish years.
I should make a mental list today of all the qualities of the first house and how I will harness Pluto's energies..
this time:) lol
