THE Y LABEL | 3rd Anniversary




June 15th, 2014

Being an Aquarius Rising and Capricorn Moon means I can be quite detached in my interactions. But that doesn't mean I don't like to feel, I just prefer to focus on the work first and deal with my emotions later. Like everyone I've been through so much, and have learnt a lot. I certainly have made mistakes, and made a few personal breakthroughs in the process. I guess I'm a cross between Uranus and Saturn, which energy-wise quite opposite to each other. Sometimes I like to experiment and rebel, then I would remind myself to grow up and be more responsible. It's still an ongoing thing but I'm starting to understand it better now. And sometimes, imagination + creativity are not enough. There are other things that are equally as important, and they are the little things that make up the big things. The daily stuff like paperwork, errands, emails, and so on. In the end, I still feel imagination is one of the most important things. With imagination we can see how we want to look, how we want to feel, before we even go out the door. It's all in our imagination and creativity! Happy 3rd anniversary to my The Y Label, I'm thankful for all that I've learnt and I look forward to sharing more.

Truly happy to finally meet my first astrologer friend in Indonesia, Ms. Intan Ophelia! It was a fun meeting and I'm looking forward to seeing her again. Meanwhile, check out her wonderful book 'Sukses Finansial Lewat Astrologi dan Peta Kehidupan' available now at Kinokuniya, Plaza Senayan.

ILLUSTRATION | ❁❁❁


You must marry your soul.
That wedding is the way.

❁❁

Every rose that is sweet-scented within,
That rose is telling of the secrets of the Universal.

❁❁❁

 Die, die, die in this love. 
 If you die in this love your soul will be renewed. 

❁❁❁❁

With every breath
I plant the seeds of devotion - I am a farmer of the heart.

❁❁❁❁❁

 I will soothe you and heal you. 
 I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns. 

❁❁❁❁❁❁

My arrow of love has arrived at the target.
I am in the house of mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.

❁❁❁❁❁❁❁

 My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless, 
 ‘Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. 

—RUMI
