Inspiring a New Path Toward Inner Fulfillment

This can be a very productive learning day and/or socializing day. We might make a lot of progress on a project, we might spend the day or night in excellent conversation with another person or group of friends, or we might experience some really inspiring information. Regardless of what happens or how this day unfolds, we should prepare for a busy day with a lot of mental energy and excitement. Opportunities may come knocking too, so we should prepare to keep our eyes and ears out for anything that sounds appealing and speaks to our heart.

The Gemini Moon inspires us to understand life more. It can be any facet of life, but as the day carries on, we may begin to feel a desire to better understand what has held us back all these years; what has wedged itself between us and our ideals. These may be emotional memories that are difficult to face and address, but there can be a sincere desire to acquire greater clarity and perspective about all of those wounds. Hopefully we can flow through these memories with grace and forgiveness toward others and ourselves. As the evening sets in we may encounter some confusing twists we are not anticipating. Probably best to not overexert ourselves to figure out what those twists are all about. That said, maybe a deep conversation can shine some light on anything troubling us.

Before the day slides into the babbling brooks of our emotions, we have a chance to consider our strategies for what lies ahead. Making time for lists, schedules, and visions helps ensure the manifestation of our dreams much more than neglecting these practices, and this morning is a very opportune time to spend on such a project. What are we doing to bring forth greater prosperity and clarity in our lives? How can we get to where we hope to be sooner than later? Does anything need to be changed in our process of unfoldment? Maybe if we make the time for quiet contemplation we can actually see what is to come more clearly.

How do the relationships in our lives affect our progress and shape our goals? Do they encourage us, uplift us, support us, and offer their help along the way? Are we too often getting tangled in the webs of their karma to focus enough on our own? Maybe we should consider the hard facts and truths about the health and sustainability of those relationships. We all want to feel supported and uplifted, but it can be easy to slide into the grayer areas of forgetfulness and neglect. Though many aspects of our relationships may be beautiful, other aspects may be left by the wayside waving for help and recognition. 

Aligning truth with our emotional security is the lesson of the day, so anything that we recognize is hindering our journey toward our destination should be addressed and navigated thoughtfully and compassionately. Perhaps there are some hidden motives, unconscious patterns, or secrets we are ashamed of getting in our way. How well do we understand ourselves and those we love? Let’s try to be mindful not to lose our grasp on our own identity while supporting and tending to our loved ones.

*Pluto ingresses Aquarius*

Today’s potent final shift of Pluto into Aquarius, where it will now remain for the next 19 years, inevitably portends widespread global changes that are very hard to predict or even postulate. That said, we know that Pluto engages us to reckon with loss and destruction and how to accept those inevitabilities as a part of life. We also know that from such losses and destruction new things emerge from them, just as plants thrive in the presence of compost. Sometimes we need death for growth; a composting of souls and experiences. So, what kinds of deaths are taking place in our lives right now? And what kinds of growth will emerge from the compost of those deaths?

Brand new ideas and entirely unique approaches to life should be expected. When it comes to Aquarius, no one is immune to its electrifying charge of particle consciousness. What we know and what we have seen are already outdated. What we have not seen or known is pulling into the parking lot in a contraption we have never imagined before. How does this tie into our daily lives and our future? It all remains to be seen. We must learn to trust that something new is waiting to be born, to be revealed, to be invented, to be newly imagined into existence, and that what must pass on has had its purpose of preparing us for what will emerge from this chrysalis of our collective mystic consciousness. 

The otherwise fleeting aspects of today are calling on us to continue the process of not just getting to know who we are intimately, but to forgive, love, and accept who we are and who we are dying to be moving forward. While there is fluidity in our comprehension of the concept of lovingly accepting of ourselves, there are hurdles of emotional clouds that seem to persistently cast themselves over the blue skies of clarity and understanding. We can feel the struggle to emotionally identify with our trauma and how to make peace with the fact it will not just vanish. We should look for inspiration in the fabric of our experience today, and every day, if we want to remember the value of magic and mystery in life. Healing always begins with love and compassion.

There is consistency in our emotional processing. Some might say there are repetitive patterns that persist and we stubbornly hold on to for fear of facing something new and unknown. This is also true, but what if we found out that new and unknown moments are happening constantly every day? And what if we knew how to lay down the burden that is our stubborn grasp on our old emotional patterns to greet these new moments with fresh beginner minds and feelings? Today can begin to unfold with such thoughts and possibilities. Our need for security and protection, left unchecked, can inflate to such suffocating proportions that we completely avoid anything that might take us out of that comfort zone. What if we opened that door anyway and stepped out into the wild night of mystery?

Perhaps doing so would uncover unforeseen creative desires that, until now, slept dormant in the breast of our muses. Through all these painful losses and sorrows we have endured in life, there are beautiful sunny days that find us staring out to sea or weeping on the summit of a mountaintop. There is always hope, even in the darkest hour. We just need to weave that hope back into our hearts by taking ourselves to the sea or the mountains or anywhere else that instills that divine awe in our souls. We are feeling more and more excited to bathe ourselves in our creative power and inspiration. And while this is certainly on the docket, there is about to be a substantial gestation period for us to tread water in that inspiration. Let’s try to find that sea of warm bliss before Mars stations retrograde on December 6th.

The expansion is ever unfolding, even when it feels like we are contracting into a shell of solitude. How far ahead we may be looking through our spyglass is not always as important as what or who is standing right in front of us. But sometimes picking up our visionary lens is absolutely imperative. How far can we see? Can we make out the people, surroundings, location, and activities going on? Do we like what we see? Do we want what we see? What would we like to see instead? Who would we rather see there? These are some appropriate approaches to the celestial influences of today.

Applying these approaches to the emerging visionary passions that have been latent in the womb of our unconsciousness can show us more of who we are patiently becoming. Change is often perceived as sudden or forced upon us, but the more all-encompassing and lasting changes we go through are almost always glacial and barely perceptible on a day-to-day basis. This is why it is so important to remain privy to the medicine of the eagle. When we can soar high enough to perceive the entirety of our life with a keen and honest eye for truth and consequences, we can begin to understand the lessons and values that have led us to this day. And though it may feel just like any other day, there are subtle omens and inspirations that await our awareness and receptiveness.

If we have indeed been cognizant of the inspiration, hope, and excitement that has been accessible to us lately, we should prepare for the grounding effects of today’s aspects. When unspeakable beauty and brilliance is brought back through the filters of mundane life and its requirements, we often struggle to accept the latter elements of existence. This process requires grace and surrender, which can be hard to muster at such junctures. But today we must contend with these realities. Fortunately, we are gifted a grounding influence to ease the otherwise difficult landing conditions.

How can we apply those visionary glimpses to our daily life and thought processes? How can we bring down from the Icarian heights our luscious hopes for a more brilliant future? We might start by getting all those beautiful inspirations down on paper or into a creative project, whether that is a song, a sculpture, a painting, a meal, a practice, or anything else that allows us to express it all in a way that can convey its essence. But setbacks are meant to teach us what we miss, so we must learn how to accept setbacks as necessary detours to hopes and dreams. If we feel a stubborn resistance to dovetailing the polarity of our bliss with the harsh realities of our circumstances, we might inspect that stubbornness to see if we can find a purpose behind it.

Refinement is a virtue that can be applied to so many facets of our life, and today we are more than likely going to experience just how valuable this process can be. Virgo’s archetype undoubtedly exhibits the process of separating the wheat from the chaff. So, what we are feeling celestially influenced to do at this time is to edit out the areas of not just our present life, but also our vision of our future that do not fully resonate with how we ideally want to live. Perhaps we reached too high in our vision, perhaps we are stuck in patterns that prevent any deviation toward those ideals, or perhaps we need to simplify so many elements of our current life in order to make room for what is to come. 

These refinements conjure new space and time with which to enact the shifts we wish to unfold. What boundaries are being neglected? How immersed are we in someone else’s life and karma that may be keeping us from fully embracing our own? What attitudes and mindsets are oxidizing on the iron sides of our ship and rusting our vessel into decay? How can we more fully embrace our inspiring bliss if we are still hanging on to a bliss that has become increasingly less blissful? It is time to get to work on personally developing the tools and tactics to elevate our visions into manifestations. It may seem like a lot of work, and it likely is, but we can reach further and further into our dreams if we hold those dreams in the forefront of our hearts and minds each day and don’t lose sight of what may be.
