“Love makes the wildest spirit tame, and the tamest spirit wild.” ~ Alexis Delp
NEW MOON in LIBRA: Oct 12 @ 8:06pm EST 20 degrees
Each new moon is considered a new beginning. And, although all new beginnings are a potential for change, this lunation opposes the liberating planet of Uranus providing an opportunity to revolutionize our perspective in relationship to ourselves, others and to life. As we feel and experience the reverberation of the recent eclipses and Mercury Retrograde through Libra we have an ever greater opportunity to transform our thinking – to live our most enlightened lives. A revolution is a quickening in the process of evolution…a point in time that is accelerated due to the evolutionary growth we’ve chosen to align with. During revolutionary periods the fruits of our efforts cultivated over time come to the fore creating dramatic shifts (as do the challenges and realities we’ve neglected to confront). Revolutions can be sudden, as if a flash of lightening has shocked our system. This flash is a window of opportunity that our soul is ready to enter. And, this is the energy available to us right now.
Often times a revolution can appear to be a rebellion. We rebel against opposing forces. This can appear as extreme uprisings in relationships accentuating the power dynamic between self and other – our desire for freedom and understanding. It is wise to remember that as much as we strive for individuality we strive for connection. And, it is important to question whether it is even possible to have one without the other.
Our wild spirits are ready to tame the immature, insecure, judgmental, habitual, uncompromising, stubborn, victim oriented, excuse giving, truth neglecting selves in order to meet the hearts call for communion and harmony with all Life (and most importantly harmony with ourselves). As we do so, we are Liberating Love. With Venus, the ruler planet of Libra, now in settling into the sign of Virgo we are ready to devote ourselves to being in relationship and accepting that everything and everyone in our lives as sacred mirrors – images of divine and reflections of our true nature. Each experience and interaction is a sign post leading us toward our goal and life purpose – which as a collective is to grow up, become better humans, and live in harmony.
All of life naturally seeks balance. The Libran forces are encouraging all that we require for the scales of justice, harmony and cooperation to be equal. When we listen intently, filtering through the clinging tendencies of the egoic mind, we clearly know the right action (the kriya) to take for our highest good as it aligns with the good of all. Venus’s grace is here for us to claim as she is being energized with the discerning power of Virgo and helping us to accept and find ease in the unknowns and uncertainties of our experience. She is ready to lend her confident heart in trusting our innate nature and the great mysteries of life. Venus is an alchemist transforming the sacred fire of our heart into the pure expression of our being. In her image we will RISE.
COSMIC BLESSING
May the image of nature and her forgiving ways be imprinted forever on the mirror of our souls, allowing justice to reign in all that is discontent. Feeling into the wild call of our hearts strengthens the wings of spirit – setting us free… With radical surrender we freely trust the grand adventure of exploring the space between – the anahata chakra. This is the promise of Liberating Love. Hear the call, rise up, and fly!
