New beginnings

Sun and Moon Tarot The Emperor, 6 of Swords and Ace of Pentacles

Yesterday’s morning draw, taken at our new place. Good to see the solid Emperor make an appearance – he’s all about solid foundations and order, though balanced nicely here with a sheep and bees :) Which is good, since one day we intend to have some farm animals, and bring in bees as soon as we can. Native bees, preferably – Australia has stingless native bees, and while they don’t produce nowhere near the amount of honey European bees do, they are fantastic for native plants, not to mention that permaculture patch we are eagerly anticipating…

On the other side, the Ace of Pentacles heralds our new start. It’s a good omen – the Ace of reality I like to call it.

Part of the view from the veranda table. Unfortunately not captured very well, though I hope to soon have some more shots of the 5 acres we are getting to know. As for the 6 of Swords in the middle – well that’s me there, typing away updating my blogs and keeping in touch with friends. I could do with about 3 months off work, to be honest – just to set out the gardens, get bees, get the chickens sorted, plant an orchard, and study astrology – I have not started the course I am interested in, since the past month has been full of cleaning and packing and moving.

Well, good things take time, as they say. Despite all the hard work of the past couple of months, I am grateful to be here, among nature, trees, birds. I am grateful for the serenity and peace the land brings, which I have craved ever since I moved from a tiny bush hut on Auckland’s west coast. Can’t wait to go wandering through the bush and explore a bit of this world.

Wishing everyone a blessed week,

Monica
