October is usually the month we find balance and harmony within our homes and pesonal relationships, both Librian traits, yet, this year we are deeply challenged to hold our balance as political drama and financial chaos come close to tipping us over.
It seems that all is askew and that there is no answer, no solution, yet now more than ever it is important to remain grounded, joyous, and prayerful, so we can see clearly, and earnestly listen to Spirit's calling and direction. For the next two weeks the collective mind will be busy, dreaming up scenarios which seem hopeless, so be mindful to stay in your body and to create abundance in your thoughts and actions.
There are several reasons everything feels so intense right now. The new moon on September 29th also brought us Mercury in retrograde. This retrograde period is probably the most confusing Mercury retrograde periods we have experienced, maybe ever, so hold on to your hats folks.
With numerous planets in air signs, squaring Jupiter in Capricorn we will feel a strong tendency to overthink. If you are feeling overwhelmed, slow down, breath, and visualize the center of the earth and your core. Turn off the news and know that we are just at the tipping point of a new world, which is shaking foundations which have been unstable for a long time. This is part of the dismantling which is necessary for change to come forward. It seems that the addictive and dysfunctional patterns of the collective and the masked fear--constant adrenaline rush--this country tends to run on is being revealed.
Venus is in Scorpio showing us where are values are and how deep they run. Jupiter is in Capricorn representing the consistent grounded sides of our natures. We can utilize Venus by getting into the juiciness of your bodies, or deep transformative healing. Jupiter offers us the pragmatism needed to apply our beliefs in our business, financial life, and communities.
With Neptune and Chiron maintaining their positions in Aquarius, we can continue to hold the vision of a conscious world, healed and highly aligned, therefore continue to utilize positive clear thoughts as they are our prayers. It makes a difference. This is not the first time we have been tantilized with fear dominated scenarios and this will not be the last, therefore we can choose to see through to the truth (Scorpio & Jupiter). Evolution is speeding up, which basically means that our thoughts are literalized within seconds of having them, so continue to be mindful, and clean house, inner and outer, as we move further into this season.
The other reason for the intensity is the upcoming opposition between Uranus and Saturn, exact on election day, November 4th. So don't be surprised if something changes, like election day having to take place on Wednesday instead of Tuesday. The candidates, and our consciousness or lack there of, are literally being symbolized by the Uranus Saturn opposition.
Uranus wants change, it wants to open to new ways while Saturn wants to stabilize and tighten its control. Uranus is associated with the astrological sign of Aquarius which is described as the change-agent, humanitarian, brillant, genius, and high-minded. Uranus can and will operate through shocking and intense events to create the necessary change to break through to new and viable avenues for the greater good. Saturn associated with Capricorn is interested in bringing form into ideals, it molds, shapes and builds communities, etc.
With Uranus currenlty in Pisces and Saturn in Virgo, the archetypes and functions of their repsective signs are expressing within our minds, our lives and our culture. Pisces is about Oneness, spirituality, and Christ Consciousness. Virgo, the healer is associated with the Virgin, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, as well as the planetoid Chiron, the wounded healer.
Uranus, for close to seven years now, has been breaking up the stagnant and hidden truth about our ability to commune directly with the Divine Source of the universe, with God, without the need for religious constraints and dogma. Saturn in Virgo is bringing up our deepest wounds to be healed, revealing where we are in excess, where we are still holding to tight, where we are not honoring and devoting our time and energy in sacred service, where we are greedy and abusing our bodies, our minds, our authority, etc.
With all of this in mind, look closely at the candidates. What do you see? What and who are they representing? If we take a step back and allow ourselves to consider for a moment the pattern of victim and perpatrator/victimizer, good versus evil, etc. we may see that each one of us has been in either role at some point in time and space, this life or another. When we can truly focus on releasing the need to hold on to these patterns of punishment and the details of the story, we will be freed from them, personally and collectively. Granted, that may require some serious soul-searching as well as truly applying the concept to all of our circumstances.
Sometimes, it is only through extreme change that we awaken to deep transformation and healing.
Consider this, all of the lives we have lived run simualtaneously with our current lives, therefore, whatever we are dealing with now personally and collectively is similar to that which is unhealed from the past. Thus remembering ancient and sometimes karmic patterns bring forth release and true healing. Brain Weiss, an esteemed and respected world-renowed psychciatrist wrote the book, Many Lives Many Masters and Same Soul, Different Bodies. One day his very scientific practice expanded while digressing a very physically sick client under hyponosis to address what he thought was early childhood trauma. She entered into a past life, to Dr. Weiss' surprise and shock, remembered a tragic death, and upon her reentry into present time all of her illnesses eliminated permeantly.
We are not as limited and small we as think we are! The following quote was written by Marianne Williamson for Nelson Mandela:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
The other reason for the intensity of our times is the planet Pluto is crossing the Galactic Center of the Universe, as it changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn. I have addressed the upcoming opposition and Pluto in two articles, Saturn in Virgo and Pluto Across the Center. May the articles bring education and deeper insight and understanding to our collective path.
Blessings.
