More cosmic alignments coming up:
June 4: Super Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 4:12 am (14 Sagittarius 14)
June 5: Venus occultation 6:31 pm (15 Gemini 44) (Venus/Sun conjunction, duration 6 hours…Venus crosses in front of the Sun)
An eclipse marks the end of old patterns. The last one was close
to the South Node, which is also about releasing old patterns.
A Full Moon brings the energy of the last New Moon to a
peak, or to fruition. A Full Moon Eclipse brings us to a peak then releases
that energy in a big way.
If you do
choose to break a pattern, there are four steps to take (borrowed from
somewhere in the internet universe):
1. Identify the pattern that is causing you a problem.
2. Identify how you set yourself up.
2. Commit to taking a new course.
3. Follow through, even when the going gets rough.
2. Identify how you set yourself up.

If you do this, you’ll find yourself liberated from an
oppressive pattern and free to chart a new course.
With the current focus on Gemini/Sagittarius we are being
asked to examine our attachment to these outmoded self-limiting beliefs, concepts
and ideas and focus on the bigger picture.
Outmoded = not working anymore. Stuck. Stagnant. Done.
The Sag/Gemini polarity is also about thinking vs. feeling.
Belief vs. inner knowing.
The Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius urges us to know
who we are. Sagittarius is the seeker. It speaks of purpose, of our urge to know and be our expansive,
higher self.
Adding to that, in a few days Venus will pass in front of
the Sun and amplify the true meaning of everything. Venus is the planet of
LOVE.
In passing in front of the sun, she is flagging our attention and reminding us that Love is our purpose.
I know this sounds so new agey, and yet in reality it is
actually quite practical.
Our internal belief systems create pathways for us to walk
upon. As we think, so we are.
Sow a thought, reap an action,
Sow an action reap a habit,
Sow a habit, reap a pattern,
sow a pattern reap a lifetime,
a lifetime of habitual patterns.....
Gemini is all about exactly that: how we think and how we express
and exchange those beliefs (thus reinforcing them) For instance, when we are filled with self-hate or
self-criticism, we find fault in everything and everyone. We complain a lot.
Or, because of lacking a sense of our intrinsic value (knowing
we are good enough) we miss opportunities
and/or settle for less. This can manifest in lousy relationships, in
unsatisfying work, in money issues etc. When we examine our values we can see
that a lack of self love is not productive and limits our effectiveness in the world,
making us miserable and deeply dissatisfied.
Where does our value come from? What do we value most in
life? Are we being true to that? What’s love got to do with it?
It’s time to think long and hard about what those limiting
core beliefs may be; and let them go so we can step into our personal best,
whatever that may be.
As the current eclipses help us release the past and make
way for a more
fulfilling reality, the Full Moon in Sag will then ask us to
step up to the plate. Be who you are. Claim your truth.
This rare occurrence of Venus crossing in front of the sun, brings all the these issues of self
worth and personal value to the forefront … literally.
While Venus has been retracing its steps backward through Gemini, the focus of love has been turned
inward, asking us to renew/review our attitudes toward and around love and relating and how we communicate love and value in our lives.
Venus also highlights our relationship with money, as money is a part of what we value or consider valuable and a means of exchanging energy. Money issues are so loaded around self worth, and issues of
deserving. Do you deserve the very best? What
does that mean to you? What constitutes value in your life? Are you worth it?
There is so much more to all this but I think you get the
gist.
When we combine all of these messages, they are really saying the same
thing. Open your heart. Let go of the past. Know who you are. Value who you are. Be who you
are!!!!! LOVE.
I truly believe that only love can change the world. Not
anger. Not aggression. Not politics. All they do is polarize.
It’s very timely that this Venus crossing occurs just as we head toward the first exact square
between Pluto and Uranus on June 10th. Love and understanding may well be put
to the test as rebellion and revolution polarize people into opposite camps.
And whether that polarity is manifesting in our own personal psyches or in out the
streets, we need to be consciously aware that if we seek to overthrow these old
archaic, destructive institutions and old ways of thinking, (and rightly so) we must be clear on
what are we going to replace them with. Be the change we want to see in the
world....
Sing along with me....
Sing along with me....

"That which you are seeking is inside of you." (Prem Rawat)
“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.”
Maryanne Williamson
The final quotation here, 'Our deepest fear...' is from Nelson Mandela.
ReplyDeleteThis is an inspiring and well-focused page I shall recommend to others. Thank-you
Oops correction...misquoted as from Nelson Mandela commonly! :))
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn for stopping by. Yes its often thought to be from Mandela. Maryanne Williamson used it in her book 'A return to Love'.
