Let It Flow, Let It Flow, Let It Flow
It's Sagittarius season. There's a New Moon on the 1st in that sign at
10:01 am EST. Sun and Moon will be squared to Uranus in Pisces. That's
another heap of an intense square aspect layered upon the Grand Cross
of infamy in which we are only half way through. Addiction strategies
will be flaming. Whatever we all do to distract from the suffering is
likely to wear thin or be recognized as a solution that is part of the
problem. Escape only maintains your identification in what you are
escaping from. Face the shit and let go; repeat; repeat, etc. The
deepest layers of depression and denial are up and loud. The holiday
season is always squirrelly underneath the festive frantic frivolity.
As the years have gone by, it is more and more apparent how toxic the
holiday push is. I hear many people reporting that they are dropping
out from the hubbub. It's natural to rest deeply this time of year in
the northern hemisphere. The madness of commercialism totally co-opts
people's nature. What's new? The sheep have their Shepherd and their
backs are up against the WalMart.
Meanwhile, enjoy your wonderful selves. It is inherent in Sagittarius
to play and celebrate. Embrace your loved ones and community as you
wish. Appreciation all around, but drop any of the push of it all. The
more is not the merrier. Their is no lessen to learn. Do what you want
to do. Let others be. Laugh and tell stories. Imbibe freely and herald
the harvest. Host and be hosted. Understand that a bit of hostile is a
given in dear Sagittarius. It's warm by friction. Families and
communities have conflicts that inherently arise this time of year. Do
not suppress them in the name of love and light and polite. Play with
them! The stuff isn't as real as you think it is. Don't make light and
little of your concerns, but also don't blow them into victimesque
belief bubbles either. Share and share alike, the so-called good and
bad. Just let the old crusty bits air out. To air is human, to forget
is just fine. Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow.
All the flaming squares of the current geometries of the planets are
very constipating at many levels. Shift and get off the plot of your
stories, your expectations and projections. Let that blow hard stuff
flow easy. Haven't you struggled long enough!!!!!!! Being yourself
naturally is flowful, choiceful and delightful. The mind wants to grind
you in endless dilemmas that essentially have nothing to do with
anything, although they always tell you they'll have something to do
with everything. Give up thinking and thinging for the holiday. Put
your presence under the tree of life. Unwrap. Play. Sing, dance and
dally. You don't have to do what you think you have to do. You can
choose what you want to do, including the less attractive situations
that do present themselves in the Dream. Light the candles of your
being and blow out what was never you.
