The Role Of Battery Recycling In The Circular Economy: Part 1

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/economy/the-role-of-battery-recycling-in-the-circular-economy-part-1/

The Role Of Battery Recycling In The Circular Economy: Part 1

Editor’s Note: The Role Of Battery Recycling In The Circular Economy is a three-part series. Part 1 focuses on Key Technologies. Part 2 focuses on the Battery Supply Chain, Logistics and Profitability. Part 3 focuses on Challenges and the Role of Policy.

Only a few major battery innovations (Lead Acid by Plante, Nickel Cadmium by Jungner, Lithium-ion by Goodenough/Sony) have reached significant market penetration since the 1800s. As of 2018, over 90% of large‐scale battery storage power capacity in the US was provided by batteries based on Lithium‐ion (Li-ion) chemistries [1]. The demand for Li-ion batteries for consumer electronics and electric vehicles (EVs) is projected to grow about tenfold until the next decade. By 2025, the global revenue from Li-ion batteries is expected to reach $71 billion USD [2]. The volume of retired batteries follows an S-like curve, with less end-of-life Li-ion batteries today, but an estimated 315 GWh (1,619,000 tons) available for recycling by 2030 (assuming a lifetime of 10 years) [3], a volume roughly equivalent to current annual battery production [4].

Recycling Li-ion batteries is critical to address safety, environmental, and supply considerations. Retired batteries pose a fire hazard due to volatile components such as the electrolyte, particularly dangerous given the possibility of HF formation [5]. Additionally, an EV battery can be responsible for up to a third of the vehicle’s life-cycle emissions from cradle to grave [6]. Mining of raw materials for Li-ion batteries can be environmentally costly, as the process consumes excessive amounts of water, uses strong acids, and can contaminate underground stores of fresh water. Finally, there are varying predictions of critical supply shortages such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper to meet EV demand. Recovering and recycling allows for more independence from geological mining and potentially a reduced cost of raw materials.

Many companies see the opportunity to turn the Li-ion battery waste problem into profit given to the increasing prices for Li-ion battery raw materials such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt. Currently, the Chinese market is well advanced in recycling (for example, Ganfeng has a capacity of 100,000 tons/year), followed by the European market (30,000-40,000 tons/year which includes Umicore and Glencore). The US needs to catch up in battery supply, refining, and recycling in order to be competitive. This article focuses on companies and organizations and how they fit into the Li-ion battery recycling ecosystem.

Key Technologies in Recycling

Li-ion batteries consist of a cathode, anode, electrolyte, separator, current collector foils, and packaging. Today’s Li-ion battery recycling companies primarily rely on some combination of two well-established processes, pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Direct recycling is a research-stage approach promising a shorter recycling loop at lower cost (see Figure 1). Electro-extraction (not shown) is in the early stages of deployment, focused on modularity and reduced costs and emissions by providing upgraded feedstock for the final stages of hydrometallurgy.

Pyrometallurgy, or smelting, is the process of melting battery packs or the shredded and separated cathode materials and reacting the molten metal oxides with carbon, which acts as a reducing agent to decompose the ore into metal, slag and carbon dioxide. Smelting has been used for centuries to refine ores into metals. In the context of Li-ion battery recycling, it is used today to recover elements such as copper, nickel, and cobalt. The benefits of smelting are that it is well-tested and simple, eliminating the need to shred or separate the Li-ion battery components. However, the process is very energy-intensive and materials recovery rates are significantly lower than competing processes. In particular, smelting is not suitable for the recovery of elements such as aluminum and lithium or the plastic packaging.

Further, the treatment of toxic air emissions (such as fluorine, phosphorus, sulfur, and particulates containing heavy metals) during smelting is costly. Pyrometallurgy is the predominant recycling technology used in China and Europe. In the US, Redwood Materials first collects batteries from a variety of partners. Rather than relying on fossil fuels for smelting, Redwood uses residual energy in the batteries to produce an alloy [8]. Afterwards, Redwood employs hydrometallurgical methods to reach recovery rates of 95-98% for nickel and cobalt (80% for lithium) [9]. This allows them to reach the quality necessary to sell their output raw materials to battery manufacturers.

“Today the EU [using pyrometallurgy] can achieve a Recycling Efficiency Rate (RER) of 50% (targeting 65-75%)…compare this to the Functional Material Recovery Rate (FMRR), which can be optimized economically but if you volatilize other components, like graphite and plastics, the RER will go down,” says Ajay Kochhar, CEO, Li-Cycle.

Figure 1. ReCell Center is focused on closed-loop recycling by directly recovering materials from spent batteries for manufacturing in a process that minimizes energy use and waste. ReCell Center’s main goal is to improve the economics via direct recycling [7].

Hydrometallurgical methods, also known as chemical leaching and extraction, are less capital- and energy-intensive and can recover lithium, but rely on large volumes of potentially environmentally harmful chemicals. Various companies, such as Accurec and Toxco Inc. (now Retriev Technologies Inc.), have developed leaching and extraction processes using these technologies. Spent Li-ion batteries are recycled through the following steps: pretreatment, leaching (typically using sulfuric acid), solvent extraction (typically using large amounts of sodium hydroxide for neutralization and additional acid for stripping), and precipitation. Multiple solvent extraction steps are necessary to separate all raw materials, and the process flow must be optimized to obtain high recovery rates (>90%) for each material. For example, Neometals first shreds batteries to obtain plastic, steel casings, and metal foil.

Next, they implement hydrometallurgy to leach and extract in the following order: copper sulfate, aluminum and iron oxide, manganese sulfate, nickel sulfate, and finally cobalt sulfate. It is possible to collect byproducts for additional sources of revenue. For instance, Neometals collects their ammonium sulfate ‘tailing,’ concentrates the material, and sells it as a liquid fertilizer. After each of the desired products and byproducts are recovered, there is generally a large amount of wastewater remaining (>10 times the amount of feedstock initially fed into the process on a mass basis). Costly processes are then needed to treat and dispose of this water and the constituent contaminants. As a result, reuse and recovery of solvents can dramatically impact the economics of the process (Neometals has an 85% solvent recovery rate). Nevertheless, these processes still require large economies of scale to have compelling unit economics (on the order of 20,000-60,000 tons).

Direct recycling is still under development, but typically relies on physical separation of battery components (such as crushing the cell) and then recovering materials based on density. Automation of sorting, disassembly, and recovery would increase efficiency. The value from directly recycled Li-ion batteries could be significantly higher by relithiating cathodes rather than fully dissolving or smelting cathodes and recovering the individual elements to then remanufacture the cathode structures. ReCell Center is pioneering the technology. Direct recycling has high potential as a cost-effective route to recover lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which offer almost no economic value because they are composed of relatively low-cost base materials. These batteries are widespread today in hand-held tools and EVs in China. LFP batteries are expected to increase in EVs in North America and Europe in the coming years for lower-cost models. The challenge of direct recycling is the fast turnover cycles of next-generation material and the high rate of change predicted for cathode technologies. It will be difficult to forecast changes in chemistry over the next 8-10 years, and consumers are likely not willing to buy EVs with dated battery chemistries and performance. Additionally, while re-lithiation of cathodes has been shown to be successful with defective or lightly-aged cathode materials, it is unclear if these regeneration processes will be able to sufficiently repair cathode structures that have undergone severe degradation over a full vehicle lifetime. Nth Cycle employs a unique electro-extraction flow-through process that uses carbon filters and electricity to recover the metals of interest. This process is inherently more energy-efficient than pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy and requires less volume of material to achieve profitability.

This translates to higher margins and lower price sensitivity in the short term given their lower upfront CAPEX requirements and operating costs. In particular, Nth Cycle’s modular approach can be placed onsite at existing recycling locations (separating copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and graphite from black mass) to improve economics and lower emissions for the final hydrometallurgy stages, or at mines to upgrade ore before transportation. Their output material (high grade hydroxides) are sold to late stage refineries to be converted into sulfates for cathode manufacturing.

tragic beauty: édith piaf - an analysis

”Use your faults, use your defects; then you’re going to be a star. ” - Édith Piaf

This was one inspirational lady. Édith Piaf was called “The Sparrow” for having been so colossal (she was only 1m40 tall). Piaf rose from an impoverished street singer to become one of the most popular performers of all time. Piaf often sang of the sweet allure and tragic end of love, a subject with which she was very familiar. She was twice married and had numerous love affairs, none of which ended happily. Nobody can measure up to her. She is the French singer - for whom we are still searching a heiress in vain. Piaf was France. She represented a France without marketing, promotion, a hit parade…simply talent and, above all, passion. .

Édith Piaf, according to astrotheme, was a was a Sagittarius sun and Gemini moon. Legend has it that Edith Piaf was born under a lamp-post in the rue de Belleville, a lively working-class district in Paris’s 20th arrondissement. But her birth was decidedly less dramatic - it appears far more probable that Edith’s mother gave birth to her baby in a local hospital, the address registered on her official birth certificate. The equally dog-eared tale of her being struck blind as a child and miraculously cured during a pilgrimage to Lisieux was also largely concocted. Among hardcore fans, it remains virtual heresy to portray her as anything other than a victim of the spivs and shysters of the 30′s and 40′s Paris demi-monde, who exploited and, ultimately, destroyed her. Yet Edith was no innocent in the city’s rough clubland, expertly playing off lovers and sugar daddies to facilitate her own rise, while scheming to keep rivals down. Juliette Greco, actress and singer, has never forgiven Piaf for bad-mouthing her to promoters. “She could not stand other women singers, She’d tell people I was ugly, badly dressed. I was just a kid, 19 years old, trying to start out.” A woman after my own heart! Her most famous lover was with the French boxing champion, Marcel Cerdan, who died suddenly in a plane crash, apparently as he was rushing to return to Piaf. Most of her later affairs were with younger men, many of whom she groomed to become singers. She was often unfaithful and cruel to these men but she bemoaned the fact that so few of them were “primitive” enough to give her a good beating. Just like my previous analysis, Gloria Grahame, she proves my theory right of being yet another Sag who was drawn by the allure of domestic discord. Piaf’s musical legacy continues to live on today and the French ‘chanson’ icon remains a legendary figure worldwide.

Next week, I’ll focus on a very intriguing actress who broke down barriers while trying to navigate her own path: Capricorn Eartha Kitt.

Pluto: Cancer

Overall personality snapshot: Did she want knowledge or did she want wisdom? Was she a philosopher or a jokesmith? Essentially, she was a collector of information, people and experiences, an eternal child asking ‘why’ and ‘what for?’. When she collected sufficient answers, however, her intuition got working and she could become an expert map-reader, seeing the underlying meaning, the ‘gestalt’ behind the parts. Getting the moral of the story for her was more satisfying than just the vocal/aural experience. That is not to say, though, that she didn’t enjoy talking – she could play devil’s advocate to the nth degree and out-talk anyone (she likely found the sound of her own voice intoxicating!). For her, life was one adventure after another and one stimulating conversation after another. The communication of ideas, from the profound to the anecdotal, was the essence of her life. And whatever she believed in, she articulated with moralistic fervour. She had an engaging and wickedly mischievous personality, and are interested in a huge range of ideas, projects and people. She was gifted with language, clarity of thought and communication, and had she not been as singer, her talents may have been applied in many different areas, from teaching and writing to advertising and marketing or being an inventive entrepreneur. She was friendly and hard-working but easily exhausted herself from over-socializing, and became short-tempered and tactless when things weren’t going her way. At these times her impatient and somewhat self-righteous side came out. Innocently irreverent and quite capable of making jokes at the vicar’s expense, she saw connections between seemingly unrelated things, the levity and the profundity all in the same twinkling of an eye. Thus popularity generally came easily for her, if she could ever be pinned down long enough to fill in her diary. She had great insight and could sum up a person in a few pithy words. But she could also be quite cutting and blunt, although she never meant to be unkind or ungenerous, and she would be dismayed when someone got offended and huffy.

She had dark, brooding looks with thick, abundant hair and strongly marked eyebrows that framed the most important feature of her face, her eyes. Her eyes had a piercing, penetrating quality. Overall, she gave the impression of quietly contained power. Her movements were controlled, and her clothes were chosen for their dramatic value. With her commanding personality, she was able to instill fear and apprehension if she wished. She held a lot of hidden rage and passion within her, which had to be released. The philosopher in her meant that she found ideas and opinions more important than fact. She was very optimistic and was easily distracted by anything new. When opportunity came knocking, she was quick to recognize it and take advantage of it. Sincere and versatile, she had a strong social sense. She may have been careless over details, but she had an instinctive idea of the truth. She was especially good at seeing through sham. Always expressing the truth could be seen as tactlessness by others. She likely possessed writing talent. A hard worker, she took extreme pride in her work, although she tended to worry too much about work, which affected her health. Routine didn’t worry her, as this usually went hand in hand with the sense of security that she needed to accompany her job. It was good for her to have a certain amount of variety and intellectual stimulation in her job as an actress, as this brought out her more capable qualities. Her good business sense (writing her own songs) and critical abilities also stood her in good stead. Unfortunately, these same critical leanings tended to be applied too harshly to her colleagues which produced ill-feelings and provoked hostility. She drove herself excessively hard. She loved her freedom and defied anyone to try and stop her. She had a very optimistic and philosophical outlook on life that supported her large-scale ambitions and visions. She could be a little reckless and boastful, with a casual attitude to her resources. She liked to be able to expand her mind to the full through education and experience. Her life included a lengthy stays overseas (mainly for concerts). She was not averse to taking risks. She demanded to be heard if she had something to say. She rebelled against authority, especially if it was poorly administered and wanted the freedom to fulfill her destiny as she saw it. She was strong-willed, bold, enterprising, creative, but also rather unreliable in emotional matters and hard to pin down to obligations and responsibilities. Although she could appear reserved, she was emotional and sensitive. Sometimes she was prone to periods of melancholia and pessimism. She may have found it difficult to launch herself in the outside world unless she had the support of her family, her partner or someone she could trust. As a woman, she may have found it difficult reconciling her career and home duties. She was attracted to people who were conservative in temperament when looking for a marriage partner. She tended to feel most comfortable when she depended on her partner and her partner depended on her. She belonged to a generation that could be unpredictable in that it liked to instigate change simply for the sake of shaking things up and providing stimulation. As a member of this generation, humanitarian ideals become extremely important, as well as the belief in absolute freedom for every individual. Remnants of the old way of doing things may have provided this. She was part of a very artistically talented and creative generation that wanted to escape from the demands of the world around them into a world of excitement and glamour. Members of this generation loved the theater and the cinema, in fact, any sort of creative self-expression. They also believed in the rights of any individual to express themselves. This generation was both idealistic and romantic, selfish and individualistic. Piaf embodied all of these Leo Neptunian ideals. Also, as a member of the Leo Neptune generation, she experienced and fully embraced changes in sexual mores and attitudes, changing the way people approach the whole issue of romantic relationships. Changes were also experienced in the relationships between parents and children, with the ties becoming looser. Was part of a generation known for its devastating social upheavals concerning home and family. The whole general pattern of family life experiences enormous changes and upheavals; as a Cancer Plutonian, this aspect is highlighted with Piaf losing her only child to meningitis.

Love/sex life: She took a more practical approach to sex than most Mars in Leo lovers. Her attitude may have been less artistic than some lovers of this type but it was also less hampered by idealism and pride. Her first goal was always basic physical pleasure and she was usually very creative in finding ways to achieve this goal. She could be a very demanding lover partly because of her strong sex drive and partly because she needed a partner who will give her something to brag about. All Mars in Leo lovers like a bit of theater in their love lives but her tastes ran toward the tragic. She was a sucker for a sad story, either her own or someone else’s, and she loved expanding these stories and weaving them into her sexual history. Sometimes this taste for dramatizing the negative caused her to broadcast her least desirable qualities and wallow in her weaknesses. Other times it made her a champion of the weak and unloved. In either case, she was never boring.

minor asteroids and points:

North Node: Aquarius

Lilith: Gemini

Vertex: Cancer

Fortune: Gemini

East Point: Sagittarius

Her North Node in Virgo dictated that she should have tried not to let herself fall in the trap of overemphasizing her own importance. She needed to be able to share with others more readily and to be prepared to see issues from their perspective. Her Lilith in Gemini ensured that she was the holder of many secrets and had a kaleidoscope psyche. She was a wolf, not a sheep, and proud of it. People may have tried to outsmart her but she always had another card up her sleeve. Earnest people terrified her as she's scared their plodding worthiness might have dulled the wits she needed to survive. Her Vertex in Cancer, 8th house dictated that she was a person who dreamt about an almost womblike environment that shut out all discordant noise or interference from the outside. There were very deep desires regarding the ideal structure of family and home life. When she committed herself in a relationship she was really deeply committed and if she felt that her partner is not similarly serious then she’d strike out at them in defense. Her expectations of others were unrealistic and are based on her own feelings of insecurity. She had an internal yearning for an inseparable union with and total commitment from another, come what may. This need was so intense that she fantasized all manner of unspeakable actions and reactions if the final dream, once attained, is even threatened.

Her Part of Fortune in Gemini and Part of Spirit in Sagittarius dictated that her destiny lay in travel, education and communication. She was able to overcome enemies by her words and by her writing (through her singing and songwriting). Happiness and fulfillment came from being able to express herself fully. Her soul’s purpose lay in seeking truth, justice and fairness. She felt spiritual connections and saw the spark of the divine when she studied, broadened her mind through new philosophies, or looked for inspiration outside the home. East Point in Sagittarius dictated that she was more concerned with finding final answers. Her goal seeking was oriented toward questions of meaning, truth, philosophy and religion. Why are we here? Where are we going? What (if anything) does life mean? She aggressively pursued ultimate values and belief systems. Such people with this East Point are, in some way, identified with the absolute. This can manifest as: “I should be perfect.” Perfection may be defined as having all the right answers to all the right questions; as being witty, charming and fun; as traveling to all the right places, etc. Then, they can decide, “I am perfect; the world only needs to recognize and appreciate me,” or “I should be perfect; I’m not; therefore I am nothing.” Seeking perfection in the form of some higher meaning in life would ultimately have been more satisfying for her than trying to play God personally.

elemental dominance:

water

fire

She had high sensitivity and elevation through feelings. Her heart and her emotions were her driving forces, and she couldn’t do anything on earth if she didn’t feel a strong effective charge. She needed to love in order to understand, and to feel in order to take action, which caused a certain vulnerability which she should (and often did) fight against. She was dynamic and passionate, with strong leadership ability. She generated enormous warmth and vibrancy. She was exciting to be around, because she was genuinely enthusiastic and usually friendly. However, she could either be harnessed into helpful energy or flame up and cause destruction. Ultimately, she chose the latter. Confident and opinionated, she was fond of declarative statements such as “I will do this” or “It’s this way.” When out of control—usually because she was bored, or hadn’t been acknowledged—she was be bossy, demanding, and even tyrannical. But at her best, her confidence and vision inspired others to conquer new territory in the world, in society, and in themselves.

modality dominance:

mutable

She wasn’t particularly interested in spearheading new ventures or dealing with the day-to-day challenges of organization and management. She excelled at performing tasks and producing outcomes. She was flexible and liked to finish things. Was also likely undependable, lacking in initiative, and disorganized. Had an itchy restlessness and an unwillingness to buckle down to the task at hand. Probably had a chronic inability to commit—to a job, a relationship, or even to a set of values.

house dominants:

2nd

8th

7th

The material side of life including money and finances, income and expenditure, and worldly goods was emphasized in her life. Also the areas of innate resources, such as her self-worth, feelings and emotions were paramount in her life. What she considered her personal security and what she desired was also paramount. She loved the totality of the human experience and embraced the whole cycle of human life, including birth, sex and death. Her darker side, and the complexes and emotions that she preferred to keep hidden, even from herself was a theme throughout her life. Her ability to undergo deep personal transformations and spiritual regeneration was also highlighted. Her attitude towards partnerships with other people was emphasized in her life, whether on a personal or on a business level. It also revealed her marriage partner. It indicated how she dealt with other people and how her relationships with others affected her. Also had the propensity to attract enemies, and the effect that they had on her life was an issue.

planet dominants:

Pluto

Jupiter

Moon

She brought about complete and profound transformations in her life, good or bad (and it was often bad). She felt the need to let go of what was familiar to her and accept new and different ways of being and doing things. There were areas in her life where she had to accept regeneration, which involved the destruction of the old and the creation of the new. She had luck, and believed in expansion, integration, and growth. She could also be excessive and lazy. She reached out beyond herself and expanded her consciousness. She loved travel, was fairly religious, and liked to integrate herself into the larger social order—church or religion, community, and corporation. She had intellectual and spiritual interests in the most. She was defined by her inner world; by her emotional reactions to situations, how emotions flowed through her, motivating and compelling her—or limiting her and holding her back. She held great capacity to become a part of the whole rather than attempting to master the parts. She wanted to become whatever it is that she sought. profound sense.

sign dominants:

Sagittarius

Scorpio

Leo

She sought the truth, expressed it as she saw it—and didn’t care if anyone else agreed with her. She saw the large picture of any issue and couldn’t be bothered with the mundane details. She was always outspoken and likely couldn’t understand why other people weren’t as candid. After all, what was there to hide? She relied solely on practicality and inherent intuition. She loved her freedom and chafed at any restrictions. She was an intense, passionate, and strong-willed person. She often imposed her will on others. As a less aware Scorpio dominant, this often manifested in Piaf as cruelty, sadism, and enmity, which had the possibility to make her supremely disliked. She loved being the center of attention and often surrounded herself with admirers. She had an innate dramatic sense, and life was definitely her stage. Her flamboyance and personal magnetism extended to every facet of her life. She wanted to succeed and make an impact in every situation. She was, at her best, optimistic, honorable, loyal, and ambitious.

Read more about her under the cut.

She was born Edith Gassion on 19 December 1915 . Her father, Louis Alphonse Gassion, earnt his living as a street acrobat and was rarely at home. Edith’s mother, Anita Maillard, spent precious little time with her child either - she was pre-occupied with launching a career as a singer on the local cabaret circuit where she performed under the name Line Marsa. More often than not Edith was left in the care of her Algerian grandmother, a Kabyle woman named Aïcha. The family’s fortunes deteriorated during the First World War when Louis Alphonse left Belleville to serve at the front and Anita was forced to earn her living singing on street corners. Edith was left to her own devices, and generally ran wild with other children in the neighbourhood. However, when Louis Alphonse returned from the war two years later, he decided to send his daughter to live with his mother in Normandy. Edith would spend the happiest years of her childhood growing up amidst farm animals in the countryside around Bernay. But this country idyll soon came to an end when the young girl returned to Paris to live with her father. Louis soon had the bright idea of incorporating his daughter into his street act and while he backflipped and somersaulted away, Edith would pass the hat around the assembled crowd. The father and daughter team would tour the country together for several years, earning their living in the street.

But Edith would soon develop her own act. Discovering that she had a powerful singing voice which could hold a crowd mesmerized for longer than her father’s backflips, Edith decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps. She left her father at the age of 15 and began singing on the Paris streets while her friend passed the hat round. In spite of her scruffy street urchin appearance, Edith proved extremely popular with the crowds, her amazingly expressive voice managing to move even the most impassive listener. In 1932, 17-year-old Edith fell in love with Louis Dupont, a local man known on the streets of Belleville as P'tit Louis. By the following year Edith had fallen pregnant and given birth to a daughter, Marcelle. Raising the child in a small apartment with barely enough money to pay for heating was hard, but Edith made a serious effort to be a good mother. She was devastated when Marcelle died of meningitis just after her second birthday. After the death of her daughter Edith returned to the streets, singing in the squares and cafes around Belleville, then venturing up to the cabaret area around Pigalle. Edith was performing her act one cold and windy afternoon on a street corner in Pigalle when Louis Leplée, the director of a cabaret on the Champs Elysées happened to walk by. Stopping to watch Edith’s act, Leplée was absolutely bowled over the young singer’s voice and offered her a job on the spot. Thus it was that Edith was plucked off the streets, thrown into a chic little black dress and made resident singer of Le Gerny’s, one of the most elegant cabarets on the Champs Elysées. It was Leplée who would invent Edith’s famous stage name, billing his new singer as La Môme Piaf (which in street slang meant little sparrow - a perfect name for Leplée’s tiny, fragile-looking protegée).

But while Edith Piaf might have appeared tiny and fragile, when the young singer appeared on stage she seemed to tower above her 1,47 m, exerting an extraordinary power over her audience with her raw emotional, vocals. This unknown street singer proved an immediate hit with chic Paris audiences and Le Gerny’s was soon full of French celebrities who flocked to the Champs Elysées to hear La Môme Piaf sing. Encouraged by this overnight success, Leplée decided it was time to take his protegée to the studio and in 1936 Piaf recorded her very first 78 rpm single, “Les Mômes de la cloche”. Yet, just as Piaf’s career was on the point of taking off tragedy struck. Leplée was murdered in his home in April of that year and Piaf, together with many other of Leplée’s Pigalle ‘underworld’ connections, was called in for questioning. The French press obviously had a field day over the affair. Yet Piaf somehow managed to survive the scandal and within several months she had her career up and running again with the help of a man named Raymond Asso. Asso, a former legionnaire who had decided to make a career for himself in the Paris music world, was totally besotted by Piaf and devoted all his time and energy to helping her perfect her stage act. Working with the French songwriter and composer Marguerite Monnot, Asso would go on to write one of Piaf’s earliest hits, “Mon légionnaire” (a song which, before it became part of Piaf’s legendary repertoire, was performed by Marie Dubas).

In 1937 Edith abandoned her old stage name, La Môme Piaf, and started billing herself as Edith Piaf. Meanwhile, Raymond Asso had been making use of his contacts in the French showbiz world and had managed to persuade the director of the ABC, one of the most famous Paris venues of the day, to sign Piaf as a supporting artist. When 23-year-old Piaf took to the stage she absolutely brought the house down, earning as much applause as the headlining stars on the bill. Later that same year Piaf would also launch a film career, starring in Jean Limur’s film “La garçonne”. In 1940 Piaf met and fell in love with the French actor Paul Meurisse. Meurisse, an elegant and rather reserved man, was the complete opposite of the extrovert Piaf and yet the couple’s passionate relationship lasted two years. Meurisse acted as a kind of Pygmalion figure in Piaf’s life, educating her about French culture and teaching her how to behave in society. By this point in her career Piaf had left her street urchin origins far behind. Indeed, by 1940 the singer had become the darling of Paris’s intellectual elite. Piaf would go on to become a close friend of Jean Cocteau and in 1940 the famous French playwright and film director would write a play especially for Piaf and Meurisse. “Le bel indifférent”, which gave Piaf the occasion to reveal the full extent of her acting talent, proved to be the hit of the season and, following their remarkable success in the Paris theatre world, Piaf and Meurisse were offered leading roles in Georges Lacombe’s film “Montmartre-sur-Seine” (in which the couple starred alongside the famous French actor Jean-Louis Barrault). It was while working on the set of “Montmartre sur scène” that Piaf would end her relationship with Meurisse and embark upon a new love affair with Henri Contet, a man who would be responsible for writing many of Piaf’s later hits.

During the Second World War Piaf continued her career, engaging in her own form of resistance by employing Jewish musicians to accompany her on tour. By the time the war ended in 1944, 30-year-old Piaf was at the height of her fame in France and she began using her name to help launch the careers of young up-and-coming artists. In the summer of 1944 Piaf would meet a young singer from Marseille by the name of Yves Montand. Impressed by Montand’s film star looks and his easy-going charm, it was not long before Piaf fell head over heels in love with the young singer. At the start of their relationship it was very much Piaf who played the dominant role. Indeed, Piaf would become a kind of Pygmalion figure in Montand’s life, taking time off from her own career to help him rehearse his stage act and advising him on everything from his hairstyle to his stage suits. Piaf also persuaded Henri Contet to write new material for Montand’s set and Contet would pen a number of the singer’s most famous hits including “Battling Joe” and “Luna park”. In 1945 Piaf and Montand would form a famous double act in Marcel Blistène’s film “Etoile sans lumière”. Later that same year Piaf would try her hand at songwriting, composing “La vie en rose”. Piaf’s friends and songwriting team were initially rather dismissive of the song, considering it to be weaker than the rest of her set. At first Piaf bowed to their judgement, putting the song to one side, but a year later she decided to perform her own composition at a concert and “La vie en rose” proved an instant hit with the audience. Encouraged by the phenomenal success of “La vie en rose”, Piaf would go on to write 80 more of her own songs throughout the rest of her career.

Piaf’s tour of the United States proved to be a real challenge. While the young street singer from Belleville had managed to forge a career for herself amidst Paris’s beau-monde, American audiences were less receptive to Piaf’s melodramatic style. Piaf’s first concerts at the Playhouse cabaret in New York failed to attract large audiences and the singer was on the verge of giving up and returning to Europe when she came across a rapturous review of her concert in a major New York paper. Encouraged by this one favourable review, Piaf decided to stay and conquer America. She signed up for a week of shows at the Versailles, an extremely elegant cabaret in Manhattan, and threw herself into her concerts body and soul. Needless to say, Piaf ended up bringing the house down in New York and her run at the Versailles was soon extended from a week to four months ! Piaf achieved her ambition of becoming a star on both sides of the Atlantic, and she would return to perform sell-out concerts in America on several occasions.

During her stay in New York Piaf would make two important encounters, striking up a friendship with Marlene Dietrich (with whom she would remain in close contact right up until the end of her life) and falling in love with boxing champion Marcel Cerdan. Piaf and Cerdan’s whirlwind romance soon made the international headlines, newspapers around the world picking up on the fairytale story of “The Queen of French music and the King of the Ring”. The celebrity couple appeared blissfully happy, leading their own respective careers without the slightest trace of rivalry. After so many years of personal tragedy, Piaf appeared to have finally found happiness and she paid tribute to Cerdan in her classic “L'hymne à l'amour” (a song she wrote in collaboration with French songwriter Marguerite Monnot). But Piaf’s life was soon to be blighted by tragedy once again. On 28 October 1949 Marcel Cerdan was killed in a plane crash over the Azores islands. Piaf, utterly distraught by this new loss, spiralled into a deep depression which she would never manage to climb out of, in spite of the fact that she bravely battled on with her singing career. Mourning the loss of Cerdan, Piaf threw herself into her work more than ever before, expressing her personal suffering through the tragic and increasingly melodramatic songs she performed on stage. In 1950, barely a year after Cerdan’s death, Piaf was back on stage in Paris, singing at the prestigious Salle Pleyel. Later on in the decade, she was back at the Olympia for a new series of concerts, premiering two new hits, “L'Homme à la moto” (a cover of a famous American song) and “Les Amants d'un jour” (which would go on to become another Piaf classic).

The Olympia concerts finally came to an end in July, but after a short summer break, Piaf resumed her gruelling schedule in September, jetting back to the States for yet another tour. By the end of the year Piaf was back in her private health clinic, undergoing another long drying-out period. This time the cure worked - Piaf would not touch a drop of alcohol for the rest of her life (but, unfortunately, drugs and alcohol had already irrevocably damaged the singer’s health). In 1958 Piaf returned to L'Olympia for the third time in her career, giving a memorable series of concerts where she premiered “La Foule” - a melody which Piaf had brought back from South America and would transform into another international hit. The singer’s successful three-month run at L'Olympia would also produce “Mon manège à moi”, another legendary classic in the Piaf repertoire. In 1960 Piaf began working with the young French songwriter Charles Dumont who would offer the singer the most famous song of her entire career, “Non je ne regrette rien”. Piaf was totally bowled over by the song and promised to premiere it at her next major concert, which happened to be L'Olympia. (Piaf had promised Bruno Coquatrix that she would appear at L'Olympia at the beginning of 1961, to help the director save the famous Paris venue from bankruptcy). Piaf threw herself into the lyrics of “Non je ne regrette rien” body and soul, and her performance at the Olympia that night would go down in music history as one of the most legendary concerts of all time.

In September 1962 Piaf returned to L'Olympia to give her final series of concerts at the legendary Paris venue. On 25 September the singer was a special guest star at the international premiere of the film “The Longest Day”. Appearing on a stage erected on the top floor of the Eiffel Tower, Piaf gave the performance of a lifetime, singing her greatest hits to a massive audience which included royalty, heads of state and a crowd of international celebrities. A few days after this triumphant concert, Piaf went on to marry Theo Sarapo at a private orthodox ceremony on 9 October 1962. After an extended honeymoon, the couple would return to the music scene, performing their famous duo “A quoi ça sert l'amour ?” at the Bobino in February 1963. Two months later Piaf would fall into a coma. The singer would spend the last months of her life, slipping in and out of consciousness in her villa in Plascassier near Cannes. Piaf would finally pass peacefully away in her home in the South of France on 11 October 1963, dying on the same day as her old friend Jean Cocteau. The news of Piaf’s death caused a national outpouring of grief and tens of thousands of fans flocked to Paris on 14 October to follow the singer’s coffin to its final resting-place in the Père Lachaise cemetery. Today Piaf’s tomb remains one of the most visited sites at Père Lachaise, thousands of fans making an annual pilgrimage to the cemetery to lay flowers on her grave. Meanwhile, more than thirty years after her death, Piaf’s legend continues to inspire the French music scene.

GetResponse Review:Is it good??

GetResponse Review

In this in-depth Getresponse review, S-EDUCATE take a look at a well-known email marketing solution and drill down into its pros and cons. Is it right for your business…or should you use an alternative?

There is an expanding number of email advertising instruments available, and picking the correct one can feel extremely troublesome.

You’re likely here in light of the fact that you’ve heard somewhat about Getresponse, and you’re contemplating whether it is an ideal choice for your business.

Indeed, this Getresponse audit is here to help. I will talk about the item’s evaluating, layouts and promoting highlights top to bottom — and give you the decision on every one of them.

In this way, read on to get:.

an overview of what Getresponse is, and how it works

an evaluation of its pricing and features

the key reasons why you might want to use Getresponse — or avoid it

a good idea of the best plan for you

a list of strong alternatives

Before the finish of this post, you’ll have a much more clear thought of whether this item is ideal for you — or whether you should look somewhere else.

We should get the ball rolling with a significant inquiry…

What is Getresponse?

Getresponse is an email showcasing application that permits you to:

make a mailing rundown and catch information onto it

send messages to the supporters on your mailing list

computerize your messages to endorsers by means of utilization of ‘autoresponders’

see and investigate insights identified with your email crusades – open rate, navigate, advances and so forth

As of late nonetheless, Getresponse has moved its accentuation significantly: the item presently points be a greater amount of an ‘across the board’ internet business and promoting arrangement as opposed to simply an email advertising device.

As needs be, notwithstanding email promoting, Getresponse currently additionally gives web based business highlights, online class facilitating, presentation pages and robotized deals channels.

Getresponse has been doing business since 1998 and, as indicated by the organization, more than 350,000 people and organizations currently utilize the stage for their email crusades.

While this userbase isn’t just about as large as those for some other email promoting instruments (remarkably Mailchimp), it is sufficiently huge to give certainty that the organization is grounded and isn’t probably going to vanish any time soon.

Getresponse estimating

There are four Getresponse plans:

Essential — beginning at $15 each month to send a limitless number of messages to up to 1,000 supporters

In addition — beginning at $49 each month for up to 1,000 supporters

Proficient — beginning at $99 each month for up to 1,000 endorsers

Max — debatable.

As you add more endorsers of your rundown, the costs increment. At the top finish of the scale, you can hope to pay $450, $499 or $580 each month to utilize Getresponse with a rundown containing 100,000 endorsers on the ‘Fundamental’, ‘In addition to’ and ‘Proficient’ plans (individually).

As to the “Maximum” plan, precise evaluating relies upon necessities and rundown size — in case you’re keen on this arrangement, you’ll need to contact Getresponse to plan a demo, talk about your requirements and arrange estimating.

Huge limits are accessible in the event that you pay forthright for 12 or two years of administration (18% and 30% separately).

Notwithstanding the paid plans, a 30-day free preliminary is additionally accessible, which you can get to through this connection.

Key contrasts between plans

All the Getresponse plans cover the email advertising fundamentals you may expect — center highlights include:

the capacity to import, develop and have a supporter list

a choice of topics to use for your e-pamphlets

autoresponder usefulness

responsive email plans

split testing

presentation pages

top to bottom announcing

RSS/blog to-email usefulness

list division alternatives

There are various contrasts between the ‘Essential’, ‘In addition to’ and ‘Proficient’ plans, however for me the key ones are underneath:

Computerization manufacturer — apparently Getresponse’s champion element, the mechanization developer (which permits you to assemble complex autoresponder groupings dependent on client conduct) is accessible on the ‘In addition to’ plan or higher (you can make 5 robotizations on the in addition to design; or a limitless number on different plans).

Transformation pipes — you gain admittance to more mechanized deals channels as you go up the estimating stepping stool.

Online classes — this usefulness isn’t accessible at all on the ‘Essential’ plan and the quantity of online course participants is covered for the ‘In addition to’, ‘Expert’ and ‘Endeavor’ plans at 100, 300 and 500 individually.

Group the board — you can just have one client account on the ‘Fundamental’ plan; by contrast you get 3 on ‘In addition to’, 5 on ‘Expert’ and 10 on ‘Big business.’

Internet business — the neglected request recuperation include is just accessible on the ‘In addition to’ plan or higher.

How does Getresponse estimating contrast with that of its rivals?

Inasmuch as you are glad to utilize one of the section level ‘Fundamental’ designs, the compensation per-month Getresponse plans are overall less expensive than those given by numerous individuals of its key rivals, especially on the off chance that you have a sensibly enormous number of email addresses on your data set.

At the passage level data set finish of things, Getresponse’s estimating is genuinely serious — you can have a data set containing up to 1,000 email addresses for $15 per month with Getresponse, contrasted with $29 each month on Aweber and Campaign Monitor. The estimating for Mailchimp’s extensively similar ‘Standard’ plan is $14.99 each month.

As you go up the evaluating stepping stool, Getresponse remains seriously valued.

On the off chance that you have a contact list containing 10,000 records, facilitating it on the ‘Essential’ Getresponse plan costs $65 each month.

This works out:

$4 each month less expensive than Aweber

$24 each month less expensive than Campaign Monitor

$40 each month less expensive than Mailchimp (Standard Plan)

Some different things to know about on the contender evaluating front are:

Some contending suppliers — strikingly Mailchimp and Aweber — offer free records for clients with few records (yet these don’t offer the full scope of highlights that you get on a paid arrangement).

A few arrangements (Mailchimp again being a great representation) charge you to have both bought in and withdrawn contacts, which can turn into a huge secret expense. Getresponse just charges you for your dynamic endorsers.

On the off chance that you are set up to pay forthright for 1 or 2 years, you can benefit of significant limits with Getresponse that different contenders don’t yet give.

So basically Getresponse piles up well against rivals in the valuing office.

In any case, shouldn’t something be said about highlights?

Key Getresponse highlights

By examination with other email promoting apparatuses, Getresponse accompanies a bizarrely enormous list of capabilities — even on its entrance level arrangement.

In addition to the fact that Getresponse provides all the key stuff you’d anticipate from an email promoting stage — list facilitating, layouts, autoresponders, investigation, etc, however as referenced over, it’s as of late been extending its list of capabilities to where has transformed into an across the board advertising and web based business arrangement.

The inquiry is whether this makes the item a handyman and expert of none.

We should penetrate down into its critical highlights to discover.

Autoresponders

Autoresponders are e-bulletins that are shipped off your supporters at timespans picking.

For instance, you can set them up so that

following someone joins to your mailing list, they get an invite message from your business

after seven days they could get a rebate offer for a portion of your items or administrations

after three weeks they could get a support to follow you via online media.

Getresponse’s autoresponder usefulness is a key selling point — the item gives probably the most extensive autoresponder usefulness accessible.

You can send either time sensitive or activity based messages; time sensitive choices incorporate cycles, for example, the model above, and activity based messages can be set off by client activities or data, for instance:

opens

clicks

memberships to specific records

changes in contact inclinations

finished exchanges/objectives

birthday celebrations

changes in client information

Promoting computerization apparatuses

Notwithstanding the fundamental ‘dribble’ style autoresponders referenced above, Getresponse gives a more complex alternative to sequencing messages naturally. This is called ‘Showcasing Automation,’ and is accessible on ‘In addition to’ plans or higher.

This component permits you to make computerization work processes utilizing an intuitive manufacturer — you essentially set up an ‘robotization flowchart’ that teaches Getresponse what to do if a client opens a specific offer, taps on a specific connection and so on

The functionality on offer here goes far beyond what’s traditionally been available from autoresponders, and allows you to create a user journey that can be customised to the nth degree.

Getresponse email layouts

There are 115 Getresponse layouts accessible — not exactly some contending email advertising arrangements (quite Aweber, which offers around 700) — yet they are fluctuated in nature and the plans are extremely contemporary (and tweakable).

The email formats are gathered into a couple of classes focussed around center objectives (advancing, teaching, selling and so on)

The nature of the multitude of formats is high and I’d have no qualms about utilizing them for my email crusades.

There is one thing I’d prefer to see presented notwithstanding: the capacity to set ‘worldwide’ styles for headings and text. As things stand, the layout supervisor doesn’t allow you to characterize heading and passage styles that you can re-use all through a message — this implies more designing of text as you create messages, which is somewhat of an agony.

On the in addition to side, the Getresponse email maker permits you to utilize web textual styles. A truly wide determination of Google Fonts can be utilized in your e-pamphlets — more than any contending instrument that I’ve tried to date.

This wide choice of web textual styles is incredible, in light of the fact that — given the predominance of Google textual styles in corporate marking nowadays — it will assist numerous clients with making an email crusade which keeps up brand esteems and feel.

It’s essential to recollect that not all email programs support utilization of web text styles — you can indicate a ‘fallback textual style’ in Getresponse to oblige those — yet during the ones that do, messages made through Getresponse can possibly look extraordinary.

At long last, the Getresponse layouts are altogether responsive, which means they change themselves consequently to suit the gadget that an e-pamphlet is being seen on — versatile, tablet, PC and so forth

A see work is accessible to perceive how your pamphlet will show up on each.

Examination

Getresponse offers a decent scope of examination and announcing choices.

You get every one of the nuts and bolts obviously — open rate, navigate, withdraw rates, etc — yet also, there are some exceptionally clever detailing highlights that merit a specific notice, in particular:

‘a single tick division’: the choice to recognize individuals who didn’t draw in with an e-pamphlet you sent and put them in a section of endorsers which you would then be able to email again with an alternate rendition of the e-bulletin

‘measurements over the long haul’: you can discover precisely when a large portion of your endorsers make a move on your messages, and time your future mailouts dependent on this data

’email ROI’: by adding some following code to your post-deals page on your site, you can discover how successfully (or not!) your email crusades are driving deals, and work out your profit from interest in email advertising.

per-client data — you can tap on one of your supporters and see where they joined from, where they’re found and which messages they’ve opened previously.

e-bulletin execution examination — you can look at the exhibition of two e-pamphlets one next to the other actually without any problem.

Mailchimp and Aweber offer some comparable detailing usefulness — especially around deals following — yet Getresponse’s revealing apparatus is unquestionably one of most completely included out there.

Split testing

Split testing includes sending variations of your e-bulletins to a portion of individuals on your supporter list, checking the presentation of each, and sending the ‘best’ adaptation to the rest of your rundown.

Generally, Getresponse’s usefulness here has been far superior to that given by a few contenders, since it permits you to separate test to five distinct messages against one another (utilizing subject header, from field, content and send time as factors). Its key rivals commonly let you work with 2 or 3 variations

Shockingly, this split testing highlight has right now been diminished in usefulness on the new Getresponse layouts — you can in any case test up to 5 variations of your messages against one another, yet just utilizing distinctive subject headers.

I’ve found out if the present circumstance is probably going to change and it appears to be that a choice on this will be founded on whether enough clients demand the re-presentation of this element.

Presentation page maker

Web based publicizing efforts that utilize presentation pages will as a rule produce undeniably more leads if, instead of essentially guiding individuals to a data stuffed site, they direct clients toward alluring ‘crush pages’ containing clear data and a perfect, very much planned information catch structure.

Getresponse offers something valuable in such manner that a significant number of its rivals don’t: a greeting page maker (and one that is versatile cordial as well).

Not exclusively would it be able to be utilized to assemble crush pages, yet you can test the change pace of these pages against one another progressively, and carry out the best performing one. This can have a greatly constructive outcome on the quantity of leads you catch and improve the compass of your email crusade.

Comparable items regularly expect you to utilize an outsider presentation page making device like Unbounce or Instapage to achieve such a usefulness, so the incorporation of the greeting page include is a truly helpful — and cost-saving — piece of usefulness to have in your email promoting tool compartment.

Upsides and downsides of Getresponse

Experts of utilizing Getresponse

It’s lovely easy to understand.

Inasmuch as you are glad to utilize a ‘Fundamental’ plan, Getresponse is less expensive than large numbers of its key rivals (in specific cases, altogether so) while offering similarly so much, if not greater usefulness as them.

The limits you get while paying forthright for a couple of long periods of administration are amazingly liberal — you’ll be unable to discover comparable limits from key contenders.

You get truly progressed highlights with regards to showcasing robotization.

Its adaptable way to deal with information division makes list the executives truly direct — it eclipses many contending items on this front.

Getresponse’s online class usefulness is incredible, and an authentic USP — I haven’t go over this usefulness on comparable items.

Its ‘Change Funnel’ include is possibly helpful for private companies who need to deal with all parts of their web-based media advertisements, deals pipes and internet business action under one rooftop.

Its announcing highlights are exhaustive.

Getresponse is straightforward about deliverability rates, distributing figures on its site and giving deliverability insights to the e-bulletins you send.

All Getresponse plans accompany a helpful (assuming fiddly) greeting page maker that encourages A/B testing — something that might actually save you a great deal of cash.

Custom DKIM is given on all plans.

Backing is given in a wide assortment of dialects.

It incorporates pleasantly with Google Analytics and different measurements apparatuses.

Except for sufficient treat assent highlights on its points of arrival, it’s very acceptable at meeting GDPR necessities.

You can evaluate all the Getresponse includes free for 30 days without the need to enter Visa subtleties.

GETRESPONSE FREE TRIAL

Cons of utilizing Getresponse

The intuitive interfaces for making points of arrival and structures are a piece fiddly and need improvement.

Despite the fact that you can utilize the Facebook pixel with Getresponse’s point of arrival highlight, you can’t do as such in a GDPR agreeable way.

Upgrades could be made to how information catch structures work, so clients have the alternative to turn them on or off on cell phones.

There’s a hard restriction of 500 online course participants.

No telephone support is given (except if you’re not kidding “Max” plan).

A considerable amount of the incorporations for Getresponse include an outsider matching up device like Zapier.

GETRESPONSE FREE TRIAL

Getresponse choices

Notable Getresponse options incorporate Aweber, Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor.

Aweber is presumably the most essential instrument of the three referenced above, however it is a strong and dependable contribution. Its vital benefit over Getresponse is that it accompanies telephone backing, and now gives a free arrangement (which you can use to have a limit of 500 contacts). You can peruse our Aweber audit here.

Except for online classes, Mailchimp offers a comprehensively comparative list of capabilities to Getresponse — the fundamental benefit it offers over Getresponse is that it will in general coordinate all the more effectively with different administrations. Yet, it is costly, and Mailchimp charges you for each contact on your rundown — even the withdrew ones. Look at our Getresponse versus Mailchimp post for a full comparsion of the two apparatuses.

Mission Monitor is another costly alternative, yet it accompanies some stunning formats and a super easy to use interface. Look at our Campaign Monitor survey for additional subtleties.

Pink Full Moon in Libra, April 7 (or 8, depending on where you are) 2020 - Plus Updates on Post-Jupiter Pluto Conjunction - Timeless

Hi all, how was the 4/4/2020 Gateway doing for you? I hope it was OK. This will be just a wordvomit update on the energies and possible aftermaths of the energetic gateways that opened up in the same time as the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Aquarius on April 4 (or 5), a few days ago.

If you got to join the global peace meditation on that same gateway, I pray that the energies were gentle, healing and eye-opening. But if you got tired, dizzy, really emotional, and felt like your life just couldn’t fall apart even more, well, I feel you fam, I feel you. Same here. I was participating in some group meditations a few days before that and when the portal opened I just felt really weak and tired and my old back pain issue popped up again, it’s inflamed. Talk about the body telling you things. **sigh** It’s like Dark Night of the Soul for the nth time, again. And I was like “Really? SMH” T_T It’s like opening another can of worms, it just takes so much of the happiness away (read: dementors). It also pushed me to just hide even more and ruminate and do everything I can to process the emotions away. I did all of the tools that I knew and despite still feeling icky, I am believing that things can still get better. But truth be told, if you have been doing the inner work, crummy things like these have been cyclical and have been going through our lives each time we unearth some parts and release them. The energetic portals and gateways just unclog the collective in general, and as way-showers (we can also be called frontliners, energetically) we get to face the low vibrational stuff first hand. Not all of them are ours, but are really just the collective gunk that gets released even though it feels like they are entering through our bodies and making us face the dark parts of ourselves, again (because they’re in layers and thus we have to remove them in layers too. It sucks but that’s how it works, it can’t be helped).

And fighting all the demons will take time. - Dishwalla, Angels and Devils

Yeah you might wanna listen to the track above, just to get some sort of insight if you feel called. I just love the acoustic version so it’s what I linked lol.

But kidding aside, yeah, fighting all the demons really take time, and even though it does suck big time, I’m already at a point that I had to remind myself to use the low vibes to help me heal what needs to be healed, because at this point I can’t do much with the lockdown still going on (I am about to go really, really crazy staying stagnant AF). It’s also frustrating when the entire household is just glued to the news, like THIS ISN’T A TYPHOON WHERE YOU NEED HOURLY UPDATES T_T It’s just frustrating, and everything just went downhill for me when the gateway opened. All of the anger and frustration that had almost eaten me alive for a good chunk of my life all came rushing forward. I haven’t crumbled into a crying heap yet, maybe after I post this lol but despite meditating for heccin long hours, doing more physical activities than the usual (despite the sweltering heat) and still getting no absolution of the frustration, I was really about to give in to lashing out, just to free me from the pain. I had no idea how to transmute these complex emotions (aka they’re all crumpled into one big heap of NOPE) in the fastest and most efficient way possible but I also didn’t want to vent out and trigger anger within the household (me commenting on every death toll count as fear mongering was already too much lol) so I just ended up venting my anger on leveling up in Tetris 99 because GAH I NEED TO GET SOME SORT OF CLARITY ON THINGS. It felt nice, but now each time I close my eyes I only see all of the tetraminos trying to fit snugly into the slots. Still better than getting angry and stuff.

And later will be the Pink Full Moon in Libra, so I guess it’s going to be another strong full moon since it’s the first one after the gateway opened. Since Libra is a sign that wants balance, and makes sure that everything gets balanced by hook or by crook, this is also a great time to reflect on what needs to get balanced in our lives. Because despite being all lovey-dovey and smooth and silky, Libra is still a cardinal sign that can really unleash the beast if there is a strong imbalance of some sort. It’s just a bit more flexible than Capricorn, more level-headed than Cancer, and a lot more forward-thinking than Aries. If you need to know, I have all of these in my natal chart and it’s not exactly a fun party when all the cardinal energies have not yet figured out how to have fun with everyone else.

OK after this line is a personal rant ,you can end the reading here. =)

For me, personally, I really need to balance listening on what others tell me to do, and what information I channel for myself. I guess trying hard to try to fit in by tuning in to the collective like most of the card readers elsewhere dulled my senses and I just felt my oversoul just said HECC IT and cut me out of the general collective altogether. Now I find it hard to tune in to the larger chunk of the collective since the Lion’s Gate of 2019 so I just don’t post anything collective-based in my cartomancy side blog. Now it’s mostly my own personal energetic stuff. The flipside of this is that aside from feeling the general fears and whatnot of the collective unconscious (hence my rant on feelings lol) I still find it a lot more manageable to do readings for other people or events, even thoughI have to unblock a ton just to hear the Divine realms say HI to me. T_T

And that is why standing out instead of fitting in is a strong lesson in balance for me. It sucks but it’s not like I can keep escaping my life path.

Personal ranting ends here lol

I am still feeling a bit woozy even though it’s been a few days after the energetic portal so I won’t be posting an infused photo in this post, but I’ll make a special one once my energies get stabilized again. I hope you all don’t mind.

Oh, and one last thing before I end this post. The huge energetic shifts that happened since the wildfires started in the new year, and other tectonic activities within the ring of fire region are only the beginnings of things that are about to come, so if you’re wishing that things will get back to normal, I am here to tell you that nope, not gonna happen. If anything, this is a time to update all systems and revise time-consuming protocols because honestly, calamities like these will become more common and thus streamlining methods will become more than inevitable. Self-sufficiency up to certain levels will also be even more important, as would be the de-centralization of various services and whatnot in order to bring back the power to the larger members of the populace.

But do not fear, just because the changes are annoying and inconvenient does not mean that things will eventually get suckier. Just imagine the time around the early 20th century when electricity wasn’t even a thing and then all of a sudden transmission lines were being installed in each household. Sure, there’s a risk of fire and getting electrocuted, but look at what time we’re living in now. Can’t even read this post without relying on electrical lines. You can think of it that way.

And so this ends my Full Moon message, for everyone who feels called to this. It’s also somewhat timeless so if you read this in the future and it still resonates, it just means that you were able to receive what you needed to know right now.

Thank you for walking this weird journey with me, see you on the next update, and may you grow into the person you seek.
