So today’s movie is Crimson Peak. This movie was released in 2015 and was directed by Guillermo Del Toro (are we seeing a pattern here?) This movie tells a story of a young woman named Edith as played by Mia Washikovska. As an aspiring writer, she works to get her manuscript published, however, she meets and eventually falls to the temptation of a dark stranger she meets at her father’s office. Throughout the movie, she works to uncover the ghosts of her past, the ghosts of her lover’s past, and the implications this has on her future.

Alright, so immediately what I’m seeing here is that there is some pain and heartache in the space around you right now and this may have to do with the manipulative energies and trickery of yourself or someone around you. You may be holding onto this unnecessarily and this is causing you to feel conflicted because while you know this issue is nearing its completion, it’s comfortable and perhaps it’s all you know. The thing is, it’s over and it’s time to let it go because the space this will leave behind for you will help you grow into the generous, open spirit you already are. Your inner child has been stifled for too long and perhaps it’s time to open up so you can grow your abundance, material, and financial areas. Perhaps at one point in this situation, there was a sense of well-being, balance, and peace, but the issue here is that this part of the issue has played out and the cycle of this situation has closed. It’s time to acknowledge and integrate this fear so you can really inhabit the qualities of, the generous spirit you’ve been working to grow into.
