If you like Astrology like I do.
This article is great.
This year has been so full on. SO many ups n downs and so much change.
Booting (literally) us into a new time wave. Its like the clock stopped and was reset to the start of a cycle rebirthing in Aries sign 1! Including less military conflict, improved communication, different means of social media and travel! Have a read.
5 major sign changes have and are occurring through to April 25th 2026.
"The change will be fundamental as it will shift the structures of our society. Until 2025, the outer planets have been predominantly in Earth signs, with Neptune in Pisces (a Water sign). But starting in 2025, these planets move into Fire and Air signs."
"The most striking feature of 2025 is Saturn and Neptune entering Aries together. 0° Aries is the beginning of the zodiac, a point of initiation and new cycles. This alignment signals a powerful new beginning – a true Genesis moment."
Lets hope Air Fire combo is good for us!

2025 is one of those big, milestone years that will make history, and we will talk about for decades. What makes some years - like 2025 - more ‘special’ astrology-wise than others? It basically comes

Your heart doesn't work alone. In your legs, there's another one... and it's called the soleus. This deep, silent, and often forgotten muscle also beats for you. Not with electrical impulses, but with movement...

Every time you walk, climb stairs, or stand on your tiptoes, the soleus is activated. And when it does, it performs a heroic task: it pushes venous blood from your legs back to your heart, defying gravity. That's why it's called the "second heart"...

Where does this discreet hero live? It's in the back of your leg, hidden beneath the gastrocnemius (calf muscle). It's not explosive or fast. It's resistant. Firm. Loyal. It's made to sustain you... without applause...

Why is it so important? Because when you activate it:

- Improves circulation
- Prevents blood clots and venous stasis
- Reduces leg swelling
- Protects your cardiovascular health

And the best part: it works even when you're standing still...

What can you do for it? Give it movement. If you spend many hours sitting or standing:

- Walk for a few minutes
- Lift your heels repeatedly
- Flex your ankles
- Make circles with your feet

Small gestures
Big results
Give rhythm to your soleus... and your heart will thank you...

Just want to share this! Fantastic page, on Facebook find Rohan Shegal - anyalizing glucose after foods to support diabetic or pre diabetic meals. With a focus on traditional Indian food, fruits v juices!

Interesting but the secret really is whole foods cooked from scratch is key.
Everything in moderation including moderation.

Spinach Soccatta but really just pancake made w besan flour. Lime juice on top. Saurkraut and avo. Delicious breakfast! About 500 calories. Good start to the day.

In Chinese Medicine they understand that building blood first thing in the morning is the key to vitality foods how its done! (almond every culture in the world sees breakfast as the most important meal of the day).

So as tasty, light, nutritional meal is perfect.
Besan flour is ground chickpeas packed with protein. In Ayurvedic Medicine it's the original legume!

Recipie: mix half a cup of besan flour with 1 tablespoons of olive oil. then add salt n pepper. whiskey in half a cup of water until pancake consistency. Add finely chopped red onion and shredded greens spinach, silver beet, grayed corgettes. fry on medium heat using a splash (about 1 tablespoon) of olive or rice bran oil - don't use ghee it will fall apart.
Put lime or lemon juice over it. enjoy. I put saurkraut and avo on too!

Room to Rent (includes bills).

For the next 4.5 years I will be finishing studying Chinese Herbal Medicine, then following a Masters in Acupuncture part time.

I will be working mostly Thursday & Friday and weekends.

To help support more time off for myself I am opening up a room, in a fantastic location, to anyone that is qualified with minimum Diploma in Beauty or an allied health professional that does ACC. Looking for someone that will commit.
There could be option to buy the clinic and/or business location and renovation after 1.5-3 years.

This is a lovely small clinic.

Renovated, air cons, internet, eftpos everything in place including linen/laundry (everything is negotiable optional).

A great place to get started working for yourself when your new to business. Rent/Bills are affordable.

Ive noticed in business you either need $100k+ to set up 3+ rooms and share and get in therapists. Some will earn well some wont preform well. So business is still not easy. But this is small.

I can share my knowledge in marketing and business so far.

There is a website, social media all in place (optional) and we can negotiate days/hours you want to work.

I will mostly work Friday to Sunday there for if your looking to work anytime from Monday to Thursday days. You will also have the space (mostly) to yourself.

This is about getting support for myself to continue be able to study, and work a bit less. However you need to be wanting to evolve your own business practices and take up the responsibilities of a business owner to move in. Have realistic financial expectations about market costs and paying your way to support your own business to grow.

You need to be reliable, honest, driven and ready to grow.

You may also need to ensure you have some support when starting out as business growth can take a little time.

Happy for someone that is looking to move a one man band in as well from somewhere else close by.

I have a large range of clients so can refer to a Massage Therapist, any Osto, Chiro or Physio and even another Acupuncturist!

Please contact me on 0278444661 (just text me your interest and I can call you back). This will be available in the New Year.

I'm not sure how many more years that animals need to be trapped in the fences and himes while we spend 2 months every year traumatizing animals who can't escape.
At what point do we start to practice empathy?

1 night, public displays only. So as not to be a kill joy but if you live in Auckland like I do it's prior too, tge day and every week, tapers of to 1-3 per night, until xmas then new year it's on again.

Enough.
