I’VE BEEN REVISITING my notes from my teleclass back in June, where we
talked about planetary influences in the last six months of 2013.
Here’s what I wrote in
my script for October: “October seems like a turning point
month to me.
An important shift is set to occur
in the weeks leading up to the Lunar Eclipse on the 18th, a shift that marks
the next step in our evolutionary process.”
Based on my own life and recent
conversations with clients and friends, I would say there’s a strong sense of
“turning point” in the air.
Something is ready to shift.
THE ENERGIES seem to be swirling in place at the moment.
What is happening is a clearing of
lower vibrations from our emotional, mental and physical bodies.
The result is that we are
experiencing similar challenges and situations over and over as the
energies circle around.
We may feel stuck and confused by
this “never ending story”… if we can visualize the outdated emotional… mental…
physical patterning being spun off… we can feel a rewarding sense of peace and
calm beneath the storm.
Then, when the gates finally open,
those swirling energies will be ready to cascade into new territory, and
we will move on as well.
PART OF THE BUILDUP of tension relates to the upcoming eclipses… the
Lunar Eclipse on Friday of this week, and the Solar Eclipse on November 3.
We’re also in the energy wave of the
fourth Pluto-Uranus square, which is exact on November 1.
Each of these planetary events is a
potential gate-opener.
Our Lunar Eclipse is in the 26th
degree of Aries, which corresponds with this Sabian symbol:
“A man possessed of more gifts than
he can hold: Obsession by potentiality.”
I CAN RELATE to that somewhat enigmatic phrase: “Obsession by
potentiality.”
There’s such a strong sense of
potential in the air, it’s a bit difficult to stay on track with current
reality.
The mind and heart continue to want
to live in the possibilities that lie ahead.
Here’s an abridged version of the
interpretation of this symbol, offered by Dane Rudhyar in his book An
Astrological Mandala:
“The mind which finds itself
confronted with a totally unfamiliar and as yet unexperienced potential finds
it difficult at first to adjust to its new world of perception and
possibilities of action.
It is best to try to reach a state
of calm watchfulness, and to learn that even at this new, more advanced level,
there are rules and limits to be learned…
At this evolutionary stage, we must
move carefully, for our consciousness is not yet fully able to operate in it.”
We’ve already been working with the energies
represented by this symbol for a couple of weeks, since the New Moon on
October 4.
Perhaps that explains why life seems
even more confusing and out-of-control than usual.
MARS ENTERS VIRGO on Tuesday, and quickly moves into place opposite
Neptune in Pisces.
While this opposition is not
exact until Saturday, we are likely to feel it starting on Tuesday and
lasting for about a week.
Mars represents the action principle…
our ability to know what we want and to go after it.
In Virgo, Mars is driven by a strong
need to control and have everything go according to plan.
Neptune, in the other corner,
represents our ability to surrender the needs of the ego and to base our
well-being on a knowing of our cosmic connections.
WITH THESE TWO in opposition, we will be working with a strong
disillusionment with old ways of managing reality.
It will be clear that any attempts
to coerce or control are counterproductive, and that our plans must be
flexible, to allow guidance from another level of reality.
We will also be dissolving the ego’s
need for perfection… both in self and in the process of life.
All oppositions require us to find a
balance point in the middle.
The fulcrum of the Neptune-Mars
opposition is knowing what we can control and accepting what we cannot, doing
the tasks that we define as important, and surrendering outcomes with faith
that a higher plan is in effect.
MIDWEEK brings Venus into the spotlight, with Venus square Chiron
and trine Uranus on Wednesday.
Venus represents our relationships
with other people and with the material/financial aspects of our reality.
Venus is currently in Sagittarius,
so is appreciating its freedom and the ability to come and go as desired
in relationship.
Financially, this may mean having
less awareness of the commitments that require conservative and
responsible action.
THE VENUS-CHIRON SQUARE creates an obstacle that reins in the
carefree/careless action.
Chiron in Pisces hopes to remind us
of our interconnectedness, to heal our knowing of Oneness.
Chiron intends for Venus to remember
the importance of compassion and humility.
At the same time, the
Venus-Uranus trine provides the potential for change.
Uranus in Aries is anxious to
move forward into the future, to leave the old forms behind.
This is a fortuitous aspect to have
at this time, as it will assist us in having the courage and flexibility to
redefine our journey by accessing the great treasure of new ideas,
possibilities and wisdom available to us.
Blessings, Pam
