Your wait is over… (At least for now)
You have been seeking for an answer, you have been searching through your inner (and outer worlds), wondering, questioning…Considering…
Today, well today you get your answer! (However, it is probably best if you do not “act” on it yet…it would be far better to wait until Mercury turns direct on April 4).
Since March 12th Mercury has been moving retrograde, you have been reviewing and sifting through your thoughts, ideas, facts and theories, pondering the very nature of your consciousness. You have been turning your mind back on itself, using your self-reflective capacity to Consider (or reconsider) your path ahead.
What does that word mean, “Consider”? The English “consider” comes from the Latin “considerare” which means to examine carefully, and was originally a term used in Augury. It derives from “sidera” which means “stars”. The word “consider” is a combination of “con” or “among” and “sider” “the stars”. “Consider” literally means to be among or with the stars!
When you consider anything, you are repeating what humans have done since the beginning of the dawn of our self-awareness. You follow in the footsteps of what your ancestors did long, long ago when they first became conscious and began to consider who they were or what life was all about…they literally looked up to the stars for guidance and answers.
They found meaning in that majestic pageantry above which provided reassurance…that there is an order to the universe. There was this essential sense, this “knowing” that what happened “up there” provided context and meaning for what transpired “down here”, so the saying became, “as above, so below”.
As much as those planetary circulations release powerful energies…as much as your planetary companions dance their dance which elicit as well as depict the wondrously comforting eternal truths, as much as this takes place in those starry spaces around you…it is equally through and through to be found within you as well.
For you are made from, you have come from, that very same “star-stuff” as your planetary cousins. Within you, in your holy of holies, at the innermost of you, there is a spark of the Divine Flame. It is this, your immortal core, which provides your bridge to the everlasting Truths; your sacred center has an unbreakable bond, the fountain-source Truth of your essential oneness with the One.
So that is why…and you need remember this, ever and always, that the answers to any (and all) of your questions…the answers to the riddles of your life are to be found within you…always. Because your own higher self, (the watcher who is ever by your side), is waiting to guide you.
However, you often become distracted, mesmerized by all that takes place around you. Life seemingly leads you from this to that, up and down, in and out, until you find yourself at a loss, turned around and confused…So you pause, you look for guidance…You look up…and you look within…
In the current period with Mercury retrograde, in order to forge ahead, you have been casting a glance backwards upon the way you have already come, seeing how true or not your path is…because you need to make sure you are in Alignment. To be aligned with what? It is your ever-present need to be in alignment with yourself and so align your purpose with your path…
Today your Mind (Mercury) aligns with your Self (Sun). Today you will have an answer…from within. It may come in a burst of insight, one of those “Ah-Hah!” moments…and those are truly memorable. However, it is true that often an answer will come in more subtle forms, as a whisper or like the gentle brush of a feather; and that contact will elicit some newfound awareness for you.
Since your conscious mind is usually preoccupied with normal and everyday necessities (and distractions), you will find that your higher self must patiently wait for this opportunity to reach you. But you can help, especially at this time with Mercury aligned with the Sun.
What can you do? You must create a space for You to contact you! Find a quiet place and still your mind, calm your spirit, then ask your question…and wait. Or, you can think of the issue before going to bed, then ask for help or guidance…and it will be given you.
Your higher self is ever seeking to have a more constant, consistent relationship with you…but you have to open the door, you have to make your space sacred.
With Mercury conjoined with the Sun today, you can mirror their outer alignment with a personal alignment of your own.
Listen carefully now…the beloved is calling to you…
Listen.
