9 Virgo 59’ (Virgo)
An individual reshapes and modifies existing forms by manual labor (Virgo)* and has given no attention to the question of whether she may produce things from formless substance (Pisces) by communicating her thoughts (Gemini) to it. – Wallace Wattles, Science of Getting Rich
You can change your life by artfully (Pisces) changing your thought. When faced with failed or failing circumstances, the temptation is to get “realistic” and paint a dim picture. The economy is a prime example. I mean, who can fix this mess? What manual labor can we apply? What list of rules?
No systems, law, or rule will fix it, the wise say.
I figure that my job is to stand guard at the doorway of my mind. My job is to communicate my thoughts to formless substance.
Even though I feel as if I am being robbed, pillaged, exploited and misled while things around me go from bad to worse and I see chronic unemployment and new rounds of layoffs, I thank the formless substance for showing me a way where there seems to be no way. All the power that ever was or will be is right here right now where I am and I choose to create (Pisces), not worry (Virgo).
I thank the powers that be for the opportunity called the economy. I thank God that we take back the night from the thieves and the criminals and the streets of wall. I am not a victim.
Note that I did not say I’m going to fight to not be a victim and get my rights. I am not a victim. Say it with me. I am not a victim. Say it with conviction. How does it make you feel? If you are a victim, you are weak. You may be angry. You may be so upset that you can’t sleep. And you are not creative. You feel powerless and you give in to it. You are waiting for the foot to be removed from your neck, and that ain’t gonna happen, so you must find a way to make your neck unavailable.
Declare it first: I am a powerful, artful, strong and creative being. I can do what I set out to do. I can have my dreams come true. I can live in the land of more than enough. I have all the money I need for everything I want to do. The problem might be that I need to choose what I want to do so that the way will follow. I am thankful for the way. The way is all I need. I don’t need money if I have a way. If I have a way and money is needed, it will be provided.
The thought I project upon the formless substance is the thought of a healed economy. I choose to live in that healed economy right here and now today, regardless of what is in my pocket or my purse or my bank account. I am thankful for the strength that I have to keep my eye on the prize. The healed economy begins with me and my healed mind. I don’t believe in a limited economy that seems only to be limited for me. I believe in the generous pouring forth of the universe, blessing me exponentially, making it easy and good for me. I begin to wonder what I was thinking that once made it so hard.
I am thankful for the day that I understood that I could choose wealth or poverty and I chose wealth. I am thankful that my brothers and sisters are choosing wealth too, communicating that thought to formless substance. And we don’t buy into just wanting to be comfortable, because that comfort fast becomes the edge and we are struggling and grappling again.
Wealth or Poverty? Why choose poverty? Why mess around with Mr. In Between when he’s not one of the choices?
If you stand in an experience and invoke your best (Jupiter) thought, you will have the best outcome.
You muster your best thoughts and do not entertain what you don’t want. You communicate your thoughts to the formless. You have faith in what you want.
What if you don’t know what you want? You do. You want the opposite of what you have. If you are suffering from poverty, you want wealth. If you are suffering from sickness, you want health.
If you are suffering from lack of work, you want work. You might be afraid to commit to your vision of your life the way you want it, because you doubt that you can’t have it. Or perhaps you are afraid to commit because you have tried and failed so far and because you can’t bear failing again. So instead of squaring your shoulders, you shrug you shoulders and act like you don’t care. It don’t matter. Whatever.
You are afraid to commit to your dream because it means committing to the ambiguous, unknown, or unproven (Pisces) and that seems to be setting you up for disappointment. So you would rather not try, than try and fail. It seems that if you fail, your dream is over. You forget that you can square your shoulders and pick up your head and dream on.
Dream with vigor. Dream with determination. Determined dreams take shape.
In your dream you have to plan to get up when you fall and begin again if you fail.
Work as well as dream.

I love the way you integrated astrology into Wattle’s works and no better time than the Full Moon in Virgo to help us stay focused on the truth.This is good stuff and a timely reminder that we are not victims of circumstances and that we must project our thoughts (Virgo) into formless
substance (Pisces). Thank you for this message.
Love & Light, Ayesha

I too love the integration here. Aren’t Pisces and Virgo in opposition? the tension i have felt up to now is melting as i create new thought forms and see them actualized before me. This is the exact energy I’ve been working in over the past few days. And Wattles is the best!
thanks so much for helping me gather my pieces unto myself for better embracing and loving and dreaming.
blessings as ever,
Niamo
