My day at the Spa
I go to the one nearby, only because it is nearby. It isn't the greatest but I don't have a laot of time.
This afternoon, I tried a hot stone massage for the first time and it was a trip. I wouldn't pay extra for it though! I had a GUY massage person (what's male for masseuse, oh masseur). He was a great big guy and there were no funny vibes in the room. He was really sweet and he did a good job.
Then I had the hydro tub, a real favorite with this Water Baby (Saturn in Cancer). It's just that the tub is made for the average person and I'm only 5'2" so I can't use the handles and foot rests the way they should be used for maximum comfort. Then there was the suana and the facial. They walk you around in your little robe and slippers and a nice big plastic glass of fresh water with a slice of lemon.
I promised myself when I left there I'd be a new person. This is because of something I read from www.tarot.com which I recommend for $6 fabulous readings. Nobody reads cards like I do, but when time and money are an issue, the woman who writes the meanings for the cards on tarot.com has done a terrific job. Her name is Christine Payne-Towler.
The part of my reading I'm referring to said, "Take responsibility for the impact past experiences have had on you, and work through the past until you can extract its value. As a spiritual alchemist, you must skim out the dross, concentrate the essence and pour yourself into a new shape. This transformative process is not easy, or necessarily enjoyable. It is, however, inherently redemptive and one of the most meaningful things you can do to propel yourself ... forward."
So that's what I did at the spa and now I'm a new person.
This reminds me of why I loved Tarot right away upon discovering it. Where else do you get words of wisdom like that without psyco babble, Church Lady morality or someone trying to reduce you to a norm. It's also nice that there is never guilt in Tarot. We pay a price for everything in life, good or bad, but that's all. That's karm and we can always choose.
"Take what you want," says God. "But pay the price."
The card referred to was the Temperance Healing Angel. Look up the traditional meaning here, and any other Tarot card you like.

I'd also like to introduce a wonderful site for Runes. I haven't looked at many but this is a good one. Click here: RUNES.
I drew ISA/Standstill with these words of wisdom from the ancient Nordics.
"You don't understand the meaning of the standstill, the need to surrender. Every rebirth is preceded by a phase of gestation, which is your situation now. You feel your usual energy diminishing and every try to go on will show that. Grow silent, realize where you hold on to the old and let go of it. That, which is full must be emptied, in order to fill up again. Give in and prove to be courageous and faithful, so you can leave the isolation you feel now behind you."
This fits with the snakes, raven and death imagery around me this summer. Three people very close to me almost died this summer as well.
Isn't that wonderful wisdom, every rebirth is accompanied by a phase of gestation? Where else do you find such wisdom. This is the wisdom of the ages, like the I Ching.
The Runes are always a little harsh in their wording.
It's the climate.
