I performed this ritual this morning. I meditated for a while, then did the ritual, and then meditated for a while afterwards. In my meditations, I tried to make myself open to guidance on where I should be going from here. What are my next steps in life. I was using one of the techniques from the book Developing Intuition where you visualize your energy moving from the head/mind down to your solar plexus, and sinking deeper and deeper into the quietness. I had the image almost immediately of being pregnant and having my hands over my belly nurturingly, lovingly. It was a very peaceful image (not at all the kind of feelings the thought of being pregnant would normally engender in me *laughs*). As I meditated on that image, I knew there was something new being born into my life.
It’s funny, but everywhere I’ve looked this last week, I’ve been seeing images of transformation. I did a tarot reading the other day (I’m still learning the cards, so it’s slow going *laughs again*), and almost every card that came up dealing with the future was about transformation. Hard work, but work that will be transforming into a new future. Even my fortune cookie yesterday told me that all my problems will be worked out in the next month.
When I opened my eyes, my immediate thoughts were about how I could create an alter. Where I could put it and what items I should include. So now I’m wondering if this new future, this new beginning, is about my spirituality. Making it a bigger part of my life and a more obvious part of my life? I think I’ll keep meditating on this particular image for a while and see where it goes.

Where is your natal Pluto? Ever had your astrology chart done? There are a few good places on line, I suggest Robert Hand/Liz Green’s site, Astrodienst at http://www.astro.com where you can enter your details. Check out the ‘forecast’ section for your long range transits.
Pluto’s going direct on Sep 4th, and that will mean we all take a collective step forwards, in whatever way it affects you, it’ll be from that point things in your life look like they’re moving forwards again.

*laughs* I had to go look it up. I don’t know that much about astrology. Pluto is in Virgo for me. The description made a lot of sense. I’m not big on the limelight, but prefer working behind the scenes. I’m a better manipulator than leader! But in my way, I fight for what I think is right.

Wanted to visit sooner, after your comment on my C.S. Lewis post — finally got here!
I have a bit of experience with altars and shrines and find them a wonderful way to focus my attention and positive energy. You can see my Goddess shrine on my website (linked here). Have you put your altar together yet? Would love to see it — post pictures when you do!
