The sun is enlightening us along our healing path. Painful memories are surfacing. Jupiter sits in T-square adding extra energy to this transit. Jupiter’s presence also makes this very social. Chiron is currently traveling with Eris so this is a much more aggravated energy than is usually associated with Chiron.
There just aren’t easy ways to heal. Long patterns require long solutions. This healing journey can be punctuated by distinct shifts in focus or direction. That is certainly helpful. However, in many ways we have been going in the wrong direction for years, decades, or even lifetimes. In order to get back on track, it will take a while. Agreements we have made, contracts we have signed… these need to be undone, reversed, yet also honored until completion in their current iteration.
How we interact with the world is going through a metamorphosis. Much of what was hidden is coming to light. In doing so, a tremendous amount of energy is released. Where we were accustomed to being restrained we are now set free. Where we accustomed to biting our tongue, we are now speaking. Not everyone is prepared to do this tactfully. No one is prepared to handle this gracefully 100% of the time.
In some ways, we have all been taught to keep our mouths shut, to hold it in, to only speak when it is ‘appropriate’. Socially, this is helpful to keep things running smoothly. Personally, it causes imbalance, discomfort, and confusion. As we step into a new age (fostered by social media) where people are more comfortable expressing previously ‘taboo’ opinions, that awkwardness becomes obvious and begs for refinement. Regardless of how ugly or uncomfortable it might seem, we are all helping each other to foster nuance.
Eris plays a role here, so there is a desire to use these buried, locked, or suppressed energies to seed disruption, chaos and even violence. People aren’t exactly sure what the target is, but they will join in an angry mob if given the opportunity. This can be problematic as each movement ‘against’ something or someone will be met with another energy ‘against’ that one. Human being should be aware of their intentions during this time. It can be easy to forget about the humanity in others.
With Eris and Jupiter involved, there are also ‘seeds of hatred’ being planted into the minds of those who consume mass media. Given the opportunity, the ‘news’ will capitalize on the smallest incident to stoke the frustrated fire within the masses. A network of highly refined messages is constantly being manicured and delivered to eyes and ears globally. Most every form of media has been compromised, as this effort is exquisitely intentional. The goal is control. When you hate half of the population, the president, a church, a speaker, or even another sports team… you are a pawn in the game.
When we shift our view from the short sighted, emotionally reactive, and defensive framework it is clear to see that hatred is a form of deification. Bowing at the altar of that which we hate. Marching in the streets offers energy to the focus of the march.
Human beings are learning to be more honest with themselves. Personally they are fed up with their jobs, their marriages, their living situations. Times are getting tougher, and no one escapes unscathed. No matter how much you or I help a houseless person, an immigrant, the elderly, or Palestine… we still have to reckon with our soul, our own karma, our own emotions, and our own destiny. It is, however, a wonderful reprieve from to be of service to others.
Who were the warriors that fought to dominate landscapes. Killing people in the name of God to spread ‘gospel’? They very likely felt that they were righteous, that they were doing divine work. How many people, groups, lands, and ideas must we decimate before we actually look at ourselves?
Many in positions of leadership were motivated to be there because of unprocessed inner demons. That which motivates an individual to do ‘great things’ is often the ‘worst of experiences’. Once we recognize the pain, walk the path of healing, and accept our journey to the NOW… we aren’t so motivated to go change the world. We already have, from within. The truest change of all is to clean the inner lens.
Voice of Reason
None of this happens in a bubble, so take things in piecemeal. Clear yourself between tasks or events. If you are having trouble with social environments, don’t go to them. Trust your intuition during these charged times. Those who are wrapped up in emotional reactivity are not in touch with their intuition. They aren’t doing anything ‘wrong’ but they certainly are marching into dangerous territory. Look at the intentions of the individuals and groups around you… do you want to be part of that? What are you following and why are you doing it? If you have a goal in mind, I would imagine there are more efficient ways to get there. You don’t have to ‘stand’ for anything. You can sit in peace and love your own energy.
