The Dance of the Planets tells a story…
The Story of Spirit,
The Story of You.
One of the most important stories they sing and dance for you concerns the unfoldment of your mind. For in the order of the Hierarchies of the Universe, beyond, behind and above all there is the Divine, then there is Spirit and then there is Consciousness or Mind.
The weaving dance between the Sun (Spirit) and Mercury (Mind) is full of much Beauty and Meaning for you. It is in their cycle of relationship that you see the story of your knowing, as they illustrate the various lessons of consciousness that you must master as you seek to become fully human, as you draw ever near to the Greater Awareness, as you become what you are destined to be, Awakened.
Their cycle, much as in the archetypal cycle for you between the Sun and Moon, begins when the Sun and Mercury align, (like in a New Moon), in what is called their inferior conjunction. The cycle will reach a point of revelation of meaning at their superior conjunction (just like a Full Moon). This cycle repeats about three times a year, serially unfolding through the twelve signs of the Zodiac.
Today you have reached another “Full Moon” for Mercury and you, for today Mercury is on the “far side” of the Sun and opposite to you. To understand the “answer” that is offered here you will need to look back to the last “New Moon” of Mercury with the Sun, which was in the middle of February during Mercury’s retrograde. That alignment in the inferior conjunction released a “Seed of Meaning” that was formed in the Sign of Aquarius, and that Thought-Form has unfolded and developed into the revelation of this moment. The revelation today is the answer to a question posed in Aquarius, and that answer is found in the relationship of Taurus to Scorpio.
This seed of Aquarius for your mind concerns the nature of your Individuality, of your need, (because you are here for one true Spiritual Purpose, which is to Grow, to Become, to unfold your Divinity), your need to constantly free your mind from the old (and outworn) assumptions that permitted you to rise to a certain level of understanding. That is because it is these very certainties that will be unable to lift you beyond your present paradigm into the next or Greater Reality. The message of the Sun/Mercury alignment in Aquarius is that you must constantly seek to challenge your assumptions, to be open to and inspired by your Higher Mind, and to move through and beyond the ordinary mind of dualities and self-cast shadows. By so doing, you can think outside of the very “box of thought” you put yourself into, (which was of course a necessary “box” to thrive in that reality, but becomes your self-made mirrored realm that only reflects what you expect to see and understand).
Yet, the problem this creates for you is equally profound. For how can you let go of the surety of the present form of believing without knowing whether what you are attempting is a mark of the “genius” and gift from your Spiritual Self, or a descent into delusion or worse? How do you “Parse the Paradigms”, how do you know what is really Real? How will you know or recognize, (and so draw closer to) the Greater Reality?
As always, Spirit shows the way, and this is where today’s message of meaning is offered to wonderfully illustrate for you the way through. For the message of the relationship of Taurus and Scorpio for your developing consciousness is this: That you will come to appreciate and understand the Universal Truths and Values (Taurus) that stand behind all these various worlds of manifestation. That they are found in the Ancient Teachings which form the oftentimes hidden core of Truth, found scattered through and throughout the many Metaphysics, Philosophies, Sciences and Religions that have been passed down to you.
But that you equally must know that any particular manifestation of any such truth or reality structure is only for a time, for all things, including Thought-Forms, are composites and they can only be relevant and true for a time. Spirit-Energy moves into and through these limiting forms, but these forms must give way and pass the energy along (Scorpio). That the Great Truths are found in this flow of Consciousness and Life which like you expands from realm to realm, from life-form to life-form. That as everything is Spirit, everything is Divine-Spirit-Consciousness, the one underlying imperative for Everything is to grow.
But still you will wonder, how will I know what is truer and less true at any one time? How will you know if you are drawing closer to the light or heading into a deeper darkness of understanding? First, you must always listen carefully, to the voice of your Higher Self who can guide you here. And you should certainly share and compare and confirm with your companions, to see whether they can appreciate and accept this greater way of seeing-believing-acting too…
The real answer lies in Spirit, in what holds each of you with, to and for one another. It lies in the Energy-Matter that is the core experience of your Journey through the Stars. In the end you will know that this new way of thinking is truer by one quality, by the One Central Truth, the only question to answer is:
Is it Loving?
If your way of thinking, if your thought or idea is more inclusive, more considerate, more compassionate and more just, if it is more bound to the Fundamental Truth of Spirit: That before you is just another you…Then you will know you are indeed heading towards the Light, you are fulfilling your Destiny, you are growing into your Divinity, and you are making your way Home.
Yes, today you will have a revelation…
A precious answer to your prayer.
For you are a seeker in a journey…
But you are not sure of getting there.
You seek for answers to many questions…
But the Truth is written in your Heart.
Just love one another…
Just listen to your Heart.
