The tension of the Grand Cross is slowly ebbing. You may still feel very
symptomatic. There's an unprocessed trailing edge of sludge in most folks.
You are not as trapped as you think. You are not as unconnected as you
think. You are not broken and you do not need to be fixed. You have been
burning through awareness down into the fixations at your core. Hang in
and let go.
Venus goes direct on the 3rd at 1:19 am PST. Sun conjuncts Neptune on the
5th at 9:34 pm PST. Mercury enters Pisces on the 8th at 8:33 am PST. If
your boundaries aren't established clearly, you can be taking on waves of
people's psychic churn. You can feel bad about what you don't do as much
as you may feel bad about what you do do. This is all do do. First of all,
do what you want to do; otherwise you are in inherent conflict with
yourself and you'll play it out with others. If you are present with
people, more will be revealed as to what those suffering may want from you
and you can decide clearly. The endless chatter about what we should or
shouldn't do in relationship with others makes some of the loudest noise
in our heads. It's based in the assumption that you can actually take away
some one's suffering. You can not. No one can. The suffering can be
changed, altered, spun, shifted and so on, but it's up to the sufferee to
let go of the spinning bundle of suffering. Your presence can be a deep
reminder to the sufferees to let go. Let that be and all be as well as all
can be for right now.
Loneliness, lostness and disassociation run rampant these days. It is hard
to focus because, what was karmically planned for you tends to be burning
off faster than you can keep up with the story line of those old patterns.
You aren't lost. You have the opportunity to claim your own beingness and
jettison piles of old beliefs and directives. The mind wants you to
abandon yourself and be loyal to all those old constructs and ruts in your
karmic patterns. Do you really want that old, familiar shit? Do you really
want the new, unfamiliar shift? What do you want? Take some time for
yourself. Focus on what you want rather than what you want to change. The
mind will always have you settle for less....... which actually comes out
in the form of having something better. Don't settle for the lessens of
better. Manifest what you want. You'll enjoy your self along the way and
therein lies the delight. If you are waiting around to enjoy yourself when
things get better............ you'll keep on learning your lessenings and
be longing for more.
There is the music of you, the symphony of your being and expression into
this world, that wants to be manifest. You are truly unique in an
endlessly repetitive system. Don't wait around for change. Do what you
want. You don't have to be special, you are inherently yourself and
thereby beyond special. Let's hear you and see you and feel you. Come out
of the closet of the mind. Come out and play. You have been under intense,
grinding pressure. Dance the life fantastic. Be the play beyond the
acting.
