Getting Productive - Full Moon in Taurus

Taurus Full Moon by Jennifer Shippee

I've been doing more spiritual practice since beginning this blog.

I re-dedicated myself to a daily opening in the mornings, where I re-connect with my HGA and work on invocations related to current, personal intents. Daily personal invocations started on October 24, so we'll see how that cooks up over the next month.

On Thursday, October 25, Frater AQ and I began participating in a seven-day experiment of planetary invocations supporting RO's Seven Gates work. We did the first invocation, that of Jupiter, during the third hour of Jupiter on that day - opened at approximately 8:40 pm CDT. We used our own standard opening and operations, however, we omitted RO's recommended contemplation section. I must say, we really rocked it! We've gotten our practice down pretty well at this point and only need to consult reference materials in a minimal way. I did get an unexpected amount of money on Thursday - found $10 bux on the ground on the way home from work - however, this was in advance of the invocation, so I would chalk it up to a general halo effect, due to establishing the intent to work in a particular way, and not directly related to the invocation we did in the Hour of Jupiter.

The Venus invocation took place during the fourth hour of Venus - at 4:30 am (plus or minus 5 minutes) Saturday, October 27. I did this one solo; we couldn't do it earlier in the day because there was a party going on earlier. I tried to stay up after the gathering, but got too tired, so I set the alarm for 4:15 am and took a brief nap before the invocation. Performance was a bit less energetic - I had just woken up and was a little fuzzy, mentally and of course, it's always better working with AQ! - but I performed the rite and then went back to bed. Just joined the FB site RO has set up for discussion of the work.

Saturn is next for today...
