MAY 2020
I had a strange dream early on May 13, 2020. I dreamt that I had come across this fantastic book, full of costly jewelry and an assortment of metaphysical tools such as incense, sage, and other items used for prayer and meditation. I remember that the book’s price in the dream was $400.00, which was inexpensive considering the content. I knew that the book was worth a lot more than $400.00. I showed the book to a friend, who immediately showed interest. Part of me wasn’t interested in the book, but I became more curious when I learned that she wanted to buy it. I wondered if the book in my dream was my autobiography, which I felt was worth a lot to me. Secretly, I hoped to someday cash in on my story to provide me with a home, a stable retirement, and an opportunity to help my family. But every time I turned my focus to money, life tightened its noose around my neck. This was true throughout my entire life. That was another reason I stopped trying.
Some eighteen hours later, our video surveillance detected a skunk.
Skunk symbolism allows you to become more confident in your interactions with others. In other words, this spirit animal asks you to meet life’s challenges with a calm and peaceful heart. Also, you have the respect you require to get to where you wish to be. Thus, the Skunk meaning implies that walking your talk is the only way to set an example for others. In this way, like the dog, you will also respect yourself and your own beliefs.
Alternatively, Skunk symbolism may be letting you know you have the courage and willpower to raise a stink to make right something wrong. In other words, justice needs to prevail at this time. Remember that you do not need to “spray” to be compelling. Your reputation precedes you. Just stand your ground calmly and with confidence. – Source
I knew this had something to do with my living situation. Although, I still had enough money from my bonus to strike out on my own, so I couldn’t leave because of the lockdown. The very next day, I came across the following astrology forecast.
Uranus opposition Neptune: Higher dimensions. Mid-May 2020 until mid-April 2021: How you will react to this influence will depend upon how well you have learned certain of life’s lessons. If you are extremely materialistic and so caught up in the mundane concerns of daily life that you cannot see or conceive of anything higher – whether it be a religion, a system of ideals or whatever – you will experience this time as extremely confusing. Events will occur that simply do not fit into your scheme, and you will become confused and perhaps act in ways that you consider very unwise. You may suddenly start chasing after wild and impractical dreams, become involved with persons who are very out of touch with reality and generally get your goals thoroughly scrambled.
All of this arises because this influence exposes you to higher dimensions of existence, to a world that doesn’t work like the one you have been taught to see. Nevertheless this higher world is real and important, in that it gives life meaning even though seemingly far removed from it. If you have always frowned on idealistic notions of higher metaphysical dimensions, this influence will confuse and upset you, because it reveals these dimensions to you. But if you have learned that the universe does not stop with what you can see and feel with your senses, this influence will allow you to experience profound revelations and understanding. Your degree of enlightenment or confusion depends entirely upon how well prepared you are. – Astro.com
First of all, I had always chased after wild and impractical dreams. That was my nature, and that’s how I felt connected to my God. Second, I seemed to be an expert at losing touch with what most logical people call reality. After everything I had been through over the last several years, I knew without any doubt that I was prepared for any “higher dimensions” that came my way.
On May 25, 2020, the murder of George Floyd took place on the streets of Minneapolis. The protests began the following day and continued beyond the last day of May 2020.
I spent the rest of May quarantined at the house and helping Ricardo with various chores. I found this hummingbird nest in a limb we had cut down from an overgrown tree.
The nest symbolizes home, heart, protection, and love. I decided to keep the nest for my altar. The first four months of my second Saturn Return or The Second Turning were behind me.
I had six more months to go.
