The planetary dance continues the week of June 15-22nd.
We are leading into the Solstice and Full Moon with abundant reflective and nostalgic energy.
Neptune is still attempting to help us release fear and burdensome restrictions. This is a welcome energy but not an easy one to receive. The gifts of spirit are abundant while there may be a lack of real world manifestations.
This is a test… can we?… Keep our cool? Take a conservative approach to expansions? Stay grounded when all we want to do is fly? Keep our expectations in check and allow things to be what they are?
Frivolity is not supported by the current cycle. Pragmatism and being prudent will serve us. Instead of buying something new, donating or selling something we no longer need or have use for.
What clouds your judegment and interferes with your ability to move freely? As we contract and take inventory of what is important, the weight behind certain connections, issues, ventures, and possessions will magnify to get your attention. The longer we have been in connection with something, someone, the more challenging it can be to end the cycle as it stands.
Look for little love notes from your soul. A lingering feeling after speaking with or thinking of someone, that is a clue. Anything that comes into your psyche, especially when you are occupied, is delivering a message.
We are in a cycle of desiring a semblance of safety and security. That which fosters insecurity and doubt will become extra agitating. We aren’t more insecure, just more sensitive to the need for security. This week is wonderful for journaling, affirmation, and talk therapy. Just remember in a talk therapy setting to not get lost in your own story or feelings. Feelings are not our identity, and neither is our past. The therapeutic quality of going through your past experiences and exploring your feelings is the opportunity to release the holding and presence yourself in the moment. Allow your intuitive self to learn from the situations as you reflect on them. It doesn’t come all at once.
Fair warning, the people from your past will deliver you the same energy they did in the past. This time, however, it will be consolidated and concentrated. Soul ties are real, some people represent themes for us in this life. If you think you are done with a specific theme, you’ll have to prove it to yourself by not engaging that person. Again, people DO change, but often their role in our lives remains the same. Don’t fool yourself with nostalgia. If you feel that you are losing someone, or a group of people, be grateful, it is a sign that you HAVE moved on. Love yourself and look towards the future.
The problem with nostalgia…
We tend to remember the good experiences more than the reality of the situation. People, places, and activities are seen through rose colored glasses. For healing purposes, this is helpful in having us move on and find self forgiveness. Seeing the positive of a previous situation. The problem comes in when we see this tinted reality as an invitation to step back into our past.
I want to repeat this as it has been a major lesson in my life. Certain connections will only ever bring us the same lesson, over and over and over. The initial attraction worked as a numbing agent to get you to the point that they could deliver the lesson. Often the stronger the attraction and bond, the bigger and more comprehensive the lesson that will ensue. If you seek more of the same, go back to the same habit, person, place… The lesson won’t be identical, it will be a new evolved form. The same pain body triggers will be present. The same emotional back and forth will be there. The key is to transcend the lower patterns and get on with your life. Once you’ve been in a life threatening situation, you don’t have to be in it again to know that it isn’t safe. The same is true emotionally. Once you have spent enough time in an emotionally unsafe space, you don’t have to return to know that emotional neglect and abuse doesn’t serve you.
The full moon is here to remind us of what is real and what isn’t. This week, Neptune is testing us to see if we will truly dedicate ourselves to a newly found cause of self reliance and self commitment. Now is not the time to stray from your self love, it is a time to double down. Don’t be fooled by illusion, you know what matters to you, you know what you need to do to have a better second half of 2024. Go take some steps and allow this week to strengthen your commitment to self.
