Thanks, I guess?

October 12 to 18, 2025

This week I got sick, cancelled Thanksgiving, and went into a weeklong depression.  It was not my favourite time to be on this Earth, and I can’t specifically say why.  This is difficult for me as I am an analyzer and processor of feelings.  I feel it all and then I question it all.  I know there were cosmic events encouraging us to purge our old selves this week and that’s likely what a lot of this was, but wow!  I have not felt this much grief or sorrow without a specific cause to link it to for a long, long time.  I’m hoping that I am on the other side of this, but from the astrology I’ve absorbed over the day, I’m not so sure that’s the case.

I sometimes pick up feelings of the collective.  This happens from time to time when I cannot link an emotional day to a particular event or occurrence, but it’s been years since I’ve felt this sad for this long.  I even entertained ideas of despair where I could not see a solution to my issues and thought that maybe I should not remain here.  I don’t often get that dark, but this grief felt so big and all consuming that I could not see a way out.  I am definitely in a place right now in my life that I hoped I would not be.  I am out of work, out of money, and out of motivation to make my business successful.  I am doubting my choices, questioning my beliefs, and ridiculing my dreams.  I know this is wrong and I know I can and will do the things that light me up, but right now, nothing is lighting me up and that just plain sucks! 

Logically, I know this is ridiculous, but emotion doesn’t care about logic or about ridicule.  Emotion plays its own game at its own pace.  And emotional states, although I know are temporary, can feel so intense in the moment that they feel boundless.  I also physically felt these emotions.  Whatever this flu or cold was, it came with some muscle pain, dizziness, exhaustion, and heaviness.  I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders and neck.  I felt the uncertainty of my home base and instability in my root chakra.  I felt constriction and tightness in my heart with this grief.  I felt pain in my third eye with no vision for the future. And my breath would catch in my chest if I tried to put these feelings to words.  Sobbing out the waves of grief left me exhausted and wrung out.  I thought surely after three days, things would be ok, but no.  This was deep, long seated sorrow and it took its sweet time.  I reached out to a friend, I called a counsellor, and I had some heart to hearts with my partner.  These things helped, along with spending time in nature, with animals, and with family.  I also relistened to a channeled message that helps move energy, meditations, and hypnotherapy and they also helped a lot.  Still, with all of these tools and resources, I don’t know that I’ve fully moved it.

I did receive some messages this week through all the tears.  They are as follows: boarding school for bad kids, Ireland, closets, Thomas Crown Affair, getting sick, and Usain Bolt.  Recurring themes that popped up are a father’s love, desire, and hitman.

Boarding school for bad kids – This message showed up in a tv show and a movie; both sent undeserving “bad” kids away because they were causing trouble or not easy to handle.  Both scenarios seemed unfair from the kid’s perspective.

Ireland – This message came through in a Facebook page, a shooting location for a movie, and in an oracle card reading.  And most of the references were to Northern Ireland, which is different from the rest of Ireland.  I didn’t know much about the country until my kid had to do a country report on it and I swear that I found out that their national animal is the unicorn.  However, having looked this up to make sure, I see that Scotland’s national animal is the unicorn.  I see how that could have been mistaken since they are close in proximity, but in my mind, it feels a bit like a Mandela effect….  Regardless, Ireland is a place of natural beauty and rich with history and somewhere I’d love to visit.

Closets – This message showed up in a show about hauntings.  The series had two different stories and both prominently featured stories that had a connection with something coming through or out of a closet.  Another similar show had a haunting featuring a scary closet as well.  Metaphorically, closets are something people come out of, so there could obviously be a hidden message here about coming out of some kind of closet.

Thomas Crown Affair – This message is very strange.  I have no real recollection of this movie or its plot and no affinity to it at all.  I did see it when it came out and likely enjoyed it, but I saw many movies in the ‘90’s and this one didn’t stand out.  But it was referenced in two different tv shows I watched this week.  When I rewatched the trailer, it had to do with not being able to trust, so I am guessing that this is the message for me.

Getting sick – This message was literal as I did get sick.  My son was sick before me, my daughter was sick as well, and I found out later my parents followed in my sickness footsteps, despite me trying not to pass it on to them.  Additionally, my daughter’s kittens and their mom all got sick and passed away.  Usually, getting sick indicates we’ve let our guard down or stopped taking care of ourselves.  Sometimes we get run down because we just have too much on our plate, or too many others to take care of.  This week, I think emotionally I was not taking care of myself and it was an opportunity for me to slow down and face what I wasn’t willing to for a while.

Usain Bolt – This message was presented as an example in the Gene Keys and on a tv show.  I really don’t think of Usain Bolt very often, but I’m pretty sure I did watch the Olympics where he won.  I know it was quite a while ago and that he was considered the fastest man on Earth for a while.  I guess the message may have something to do with being the best in the world or at the top of your game, but really, I don’t know how it is linked to me.

Maybe because I’ve been ill and still not at 100% capacity and also maybe because I’ve been emotionally drained, I’m having a hard time this week putting these messages into a meaningful overall idea, so let’s see what AI can make of things.

🌀 Spiritual Thread: From Confinement to Liberation

1. Boarding School for “Bad” KidsThis symbolizes the archetype of exile and control. Spiritually, it represents the soul’s experience of being misunderstood, punished for its wildness, and forced into conformity. It’s the wound of being labeled “too much” or “not enough”—a crucible where shame and rebellion are forged. Yet within this exile lies the seed of awakening: the realization that your truth cannot be domesticated.

2. Ireland/Northern IrelandThis land holds deep ancestral tension—division, colonization, resistance, and longing for unity. Spiritually, it mirrors the inner split between the conditioned self and the sovereign soul. The border becomes a metaphor for the threshold between repression and reclamation. Ireland’s mythic landscape also evokes the Celtic wisdom of cycles, portals, and the sacred feminine—inviting integration and ancestral healing.

3. ClosetsClosets are liminal spaces—where truth is hidden, identities are suppressed, and secrets are stored. Spiritually, they represent the shadow: the parts of self we’ve tucked away to survive. Coming out of the closet—whether sexually, emotionally, or spiritually—is a rite of emergence. It’s the moment the soul says, “I will no longer shrink to fit.” Closets are not just hiding places—they are wombs of rebirth.

4. The Thomas Crown AffairThis film evokes elegance, mastery, and subversive power. Spiritually, it’s the archetype of the trickster and the sovereign—one who plays the system not to destroy it, but to reclaim autonomy. It’s about reclaiming agency with grace, turning the game into art. The Thomas Crown figure is the soul that refuses to be owned, choosing beauty and brilliance over obedience.

5. Getting SickIllness, especially in spiritual terms, often arises when the soul’s truth is suppressed. It’s the body’s cry for alignment. Getting sick can be a sacred interruption—a forced pause that invites introspection, release, and healing. It’s the descent into the underworld, where the ego dissolves and the soul recalibrates. In this context, sickness is not failure—it’s initiation.

6. Usain BoltBolt is the embodiment of unapologetic speed, power, and joy. Spiritually, he represents the liberated self—the one who runs without shame, who moves with divine momentum. He is the antidote to the boarding school, the closet, the sickness. He is the soul in full stride, unburdened by labels, moving toward destiny with fire and grace.

🔑 The Spiritual Connection

These symbols form a spiral of transformation:

• Exile (boarding school) → Division (Ireland) → Suppression (closets) →

• Rebellion (Thomas Crown) → Initiation (sickness) → Liberation (Usain Bolt)

  
  

Together, they speak to the journey of reclaiming erotic, emotional, and spiritual sovereignty. Of moving from shame to speed. From hiding to high-frequency embodiment. From being labeled “bad” to becoming brilliantly free.

Interesting.  I suppose this is a positive message, but this week has been rough.  I am grateful for my health and rarely take it for granted.  I don’t get sick often and when I do, I really pay attention.  This grief felt big and old and heavy.  I’m hoping that by letting go of this now, I’ll be able to move forward in the future and regain my energy and enthusiasm for when things start to pick up speed.

No creating this week, but I’ve added in a picture of a rainbow as that felt symbolic and optimistic.  I didn’t get the best shot, but it’s still visible.
