It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
A lot happened in the two-week eclipse portal that ended on September 21st! The influences of planetary events are still in process afterwards. We continue to be invited into the feeling phase of things; as an emotional state and a way of moving through. It’s like navigating a dark room by feeling for objects, along the walls, and into the space around us. Letting go is required as we drift between potential timelines.
We can experience stillness as contentment; without overthinking or second guessing, guided towards the new waiting to be born. This is the best of times because the intensity has begun to transform our world, and the worst of times because it’s reached a boiling point. We can’t control the outcome, but we can make our values, intentions and desires known. The actions arising out of Being now are true to who we are.
Nationally and internationally, political violence and speech moved to the forefront. To name what is not acceptable, and hold those responsible accountable. The status of warring parties and brazen violations of boundaries – physical and ideological - are being confronted. On a personal level, what needs to be spoken? Where do healthier boundaries need to be established? As you witness changes in our society and world, what needs to be called out?
In the Age of Aquarius, the dynamics of breaking down and building up are a prevalent theme. It seems astrology is always calling for release and reinvention. That's true in many ways, big and small, as we move through the days of our lives. This upheaval we are experiencing is personal AND political. To think otherwise is to have a myopic, self-centered view of life on earth.
I took a break as the last eclipse and equinox passed to remember the wild, free, unpredictable and wondrous world we live in. I visited medicine wheels and did ceremony. I communed with eagles and bears, who coincidentally represent the east and west directions in the wheel. Buffalo (north) and wolf (south) are also part of the spiritual, energetic landscape of the wheel and that place.
Tap into the stillness and be moved by the moment. We all know how to do this, and it’s time to practice! Find a way that feels right for you, and walk the path of discovery into this brave new world.
