Interdependence Day
Wondrous weavings of the planets this week. We continue in the
Earth-Signless pattern which will end on the 22nd of this month. The
1st and 2nd have the Moon in Taurus which helps a mite. It is hard to
get focused, to get settled, yet ironically there is tremendous focus
in the background. Let me explain.
Obviously the lack of Earthiness results in some sense of driftiness,
ungroundedness. Many folks indeed like that feeling, but it can be
difficult to take care of business. I suggest that you use the time to
surf your imagination and cherry pick the ideas and directions that
appeal to you. You can't have a much more creative space than what we
are in right now. So take notes, outline, and dial in selectively. The
mind will want you hithering and thithering 'til you are dithering.
Stop its blathering. Claim your own consciousness as who you are and
dissolve the silly old Game for you. The pressure to get IT done,
whatever the hell that is, is pushing projective agendi that take you
out of what you want and hold you into what the old karmic rut wants.
This noise that is in the background, or foreground, leaves you with
the static quo whilst spinning in your dreaded status quo from which
you must go go go.
Come out of the dreamy fuzziness by being intentional. If you try to
push through the marshmallow brain, you get engulfed, stuck in the yuck
of the projections. Your creative impulses are not things to be
grabbed. You can use this week to soften your focus while sharpening
your intention for what you want. The cherries can fall into the bowl
of your life, rather than you having to struggle like an old plucker.
Pits happen, but enjoy the juicy dribble down while keeping your chin
up and rosy sweet. Lick your lips, perhaps other lips as well. Synch
your lips into your life and tell the mind to kiss off. You are
enjoying yourself and that is that.
All manner of nourishment is up in dear old Cancer. There's a New Moon
in that Sign on the 6th at 8:02 am EDT. It is smack dab in the mid
point of a T-cross of the opposition of Jupiter in Libra and Mars in
Aries. Need and greed want you to take heed. You can't ever get enough
in this Dream. Whether it's needing or wanting, you are left empty and
alone on the full fillment trail. Arguments ping and pong over the
question of the goblet being half empty or half full. Give up the
positive/negative Game. See that the goblet has a hole in the bottom.
It is all coming and going. You can simply have your choice in the flow
of it all. Whatever the choice, it ain't going to make you happy like
you think it will in the unconscious projections of all that.
Positivity wants to tread above that hole in the goblet; negativity can
only see it all going down the drain. Who cares? Well, the mind does
cuz it gets to keep you grinding in your head and your gut and your
soul and with all others and so forth.
Cut the noise loose! You can enjoy yourself while you are making
choices and while you are with those objects of choice and while they
depart as well. The delight of your being is who you are. Claim it now!
All of the Dream can be a playful interdependence game in which the
emphasis isn't on getting your needs and wants met. Instead you enjoy
yourself as the flow comes and goes, chunky or lite, lefty or right.
Simple. What burns off are the complexes of karma. Don't fulfill,
complete or transcend your karma. If you do, it'll own you more and
more. Clear your identification in it, from body and soul. Easy undoes
it.
The Third and Fourth of July have planets in all of the Fire and Air
Signs in a loose Grand Hexagon. What fun! You can't have it all or be
it all (that leads to endless suffering, yours or everybody else's);
but you can play with it all. Have at it! Stretch out, relax, dance.
Again, this is a most creative time. You can line up all manner of new
sources of sustenance. Family stuff is up. It may shake off the past
and bring you present, or it will be richly stuck and you can decide to
move on. Express yourself. It's so tempting to get involved with
speaking your truth and such projective falderal. Drop all the
trappings. Just express yourself. No big deal. Way less reactivity.
In mid summer, the harvest begins to come in abundantly, and you can
plant for the fall and such. So reap and sow, sleep and go, dig deep
and flow. This is a very productive time but also a time to enjoy. No
need to work at it. Choose with it.
There is a very exact Yod in the planets on the 6th and it is effective
for some days before and after. Mercury and Venus are cruising in close
tandem in Leo. They are sextile to Jupiter in Libra. At their opposite
mid point is Uranus retrograde in Pisces. In the old familiar way of
speaking, share your heart and dreams with others. I highly recommend
not getting your dreams to come true cuz it holds you in the Dream as
if it is true you. But the delight is in the sharing of yourself, the
expression of yourself. It doesn't matter the details. Really it does
not. That is just karmic unfoldment (of comings and goings and
potentially clearings). You don't have to call it art or truth or
cosmic or you name it..... Just being and playing with the being of
others in the interdependence Game of it all. If you realize you are
not in it or of it or above it or all encompassing it or blah blah
blah, then you will simply and elegantly be you and will play with the
stuff of your life without having to be onerously played by the Game.
You won't have to win for losin'. You won't have to blow up things
while flagging in the waves. You won't have to be antsy at the picnic.
You won't have to take a holiday from your life and your being. Embrace
and be embraced as you choose in a star spangled manner.
Oh say can you see....
