Thoughts on desire

Looks like we should be looking toward the heavens for some assistance

My word today is desire (follow up from my article regarding the universe).

I looked up the word of desire and it really relates to the universe as we know it.

Desire comes from the word desiderare. Within this word is the word sider, rooted in the word sidus meaning star or heavenly body. Some etymologists refuse to believe there is any correlation between 'to wish for' and 'stars' .... but this is too stark and boring for me to believe. Give me magical thinking over a stark reality any day!

On the other hand some believe there is a correlation as the Romans did practice divination and looked toward the stars for answers.

Therefore, I wish to include my universe to include the stars...as well as writing (this sentence makes more sense if you read my universe article). I have already included the moon from the day I was born as I am a Cancerian and ruled by the moon. She truly does rule my emotions, they go all over the place and I never know what will happen! It is a new adventure everyday.

So desire could have the original meaning of "await what the stars will bring."

I think this is a new way to see and interact with the world surrounding us.

I think sometimes people can often feel lonely, isolated and find it difficult to find a community they genuinely belong to. The world is a good companion for those who can overcome a sense of feeling separated - go outside and look toward the stars....You may also consider making a wish!

The moon and stars have indeed helped me over the last decade. Significant events have usually fallen on a new moon. Astrologically, this could symbolize new beginnings. Some things I will have to share!

Meeting my partner

I met my partner on a new moon on the Camino de Santiago. It was very unexpected, but a few months earlier, I did create a list of attributes I wanted in a partner. I wished upon the stars for this, I thanked the Universe and then forgot about the list. Over the time from when I created the list and meeting my husband, there were about 3 other guys that came into the picture for potential romance...this was so strange because the more I felt whole, the less I craved a partner but the more guys kept coming my way! I guess it is how life works I suppose. As soon as you are no longer feeling desperate or down about a situation, the universe rewards you and gives you what you desired.

I was enthralled by the moon even back then and I suggested that we ought to commit to each other on the full moon. We did just that! We had a commitment ceremony and he read a vow for me and I read a poem to him. It was one of the most magical nights of my life.

Moonlight magic blesses us

Getting a visa

After 4 months with my partner we desired to move from Spain to NZ. We were working hard on the visa and I have a feeling people around us thought we were nuts. Nobody thought NZ would give us a visa, as on paper we barely knew each other.

I guess our hard work paid off, NZ gave him a tourist visa and said we could apply for the partnership visa 6 months after this period. We were so grateful and we did just that. Now he is a permanent resident.

Falling pregnant

One day I envisioned myself as a mother. For 2 years we were enjoying ourselves and babies were not in the picture until....

I went through a phase of super-loving my body. I would massage it with oils, do yoga, eat quite healthily and even bought a Yoni egg. It might be too much information to lay down what a Yoni egg is but it is basically used to tighten up some bibs and bobs...that is all I am saying.

So one day I was carrying out my body temple rituals and then I told the universe, I am ready to be a mother now and I sent lots of love to my uterus. Well despite doing yoga, I put my feet into the air and my belly was bulging. Hmmm, that is strange as I had been eating pretty healthily and exercising. So I took a pregnancy test and I was already pregnant, 7 weeks in fact! It was a surreal moment. It felt like the stars were way ahead of the game than little old me.

A central star starts a pattern of beauty

I have many more anecdotes about how the stars aligned and how the moon sent her magic to help me navigate this crazy world.

I implore a little star gazing, especially for the ones who are in a hopeless state of mind.

Find that little innocent child in you, look toward the sky and proclaim desires from your heart. I bet it will come true. It may not happen instantly, but whenever it does...well the stars up there... if they know one thing, it is timing!

Thank you to the sky above for holding all of humanity's wishes until we are ready to receive them.
