Well what a whirlwind of change is going
on today!
Mars lines up with Jupiter, Venus
returns to Libra and Mercury makes a foray into Sagittarius…you are
definitely going to be feeling a change in the Winds of Spirit today!
Mars is driving you forward with
unbounded idealism as he aims for your one true way in Sagittarius. When you
have Truth on your side, well there is just no restraining how far you might
reach…or over-reach!
Today you get a reminder that you need
to consider this: that your heart’s desire needs to be ever guided by a more
nuanced understanding…and that you will find that as you walk the path of
truth you will see that your real growth of understanding is measured and balanced
by the depth of your humility too…
Jupiter in Gemini is offering this
helpful perspective, holding forth that life is about contrariness, diversity
and honoring multiple points of view and sensibility. If you do not heed this
warning, your enthusiasms for what is “right” (for you) can turn out
to be terribly wrong for the many, and so in your pursuit of what you believe
is truth you will impose upon others a greater untruth…by denying to them a
space of belief and action as well.
The question posed now: are you acting
(Mars) righteously or self-righteously? The difference is to be found in your
motivation and intent. If you wish to follow the path of righteousness, your
actions (Mars) must be guided by principles (Jupiter) that are informed by your
higher, intuitive and ever more inclusive consciousness. For it is by such
guidance, that comes from your higher self, that calm steady voice from deep
within, that you will understand that the pathway to truth is founded upon
constant questioning, comparison, contrast, collaboration and integration. Instead,
that when you pursue a path of action that is based upon self-defensive
certitudes and a closed mind…it will end poorly for you and others…
Mars in the pursuit of the Truth may
push you into certainties while blazing his trail through Sagittarius…and
wonderfully now, and how appropriate too, that the necessary counterpoint is
delivered by the very ruler of Sagittarius. Jupiter in Gemini shows Mars that
by shining such a focused bright light upon whatever may be the issue, you will
inevitably create and cast a very deep shadow too…and you cannot know or
understand what you cannot “see”.
Jupiter in Gemini reminds Mars that the
pathway to truth is often circuitous. The way to reduce these self-cast shadows
that create your bounded beliefs, (to move beyond these half-truths that lead to
doubt, fear, pain and suffering), is to shine many
lights, embrace many different perspectives or points of view as you share,
compare, contrast and learn from one another…
Jupiter is helping Mars to open your
search for Truth…
For you may only approach the temple of
Greater Understanding with Humility…
To remember, that your Search for Meaning is an ever spiraling,
upward reaching towards the Light that can only be perceived…
By Sharing and Learning and Being with and for
one another.
