In Kabbalah we’re in a very powerful window called Bishalach. It’s a very specific energy where can shift destinies quickly. This tracks with the astrology in that this powerful energy forces us to make powerful decisions, which can potentially deliver powerful results.
What Does This All Mean?
As we stare down the barrel to February 20th, the bigger shift we’ve been approaching for a while, everything is being pulled into very sharp focus. The planets this week are calling on us to heal and let go with TWO alignments in Chiron. Uranus goes direct in Taurus after a long retrograde, and we have two squares to use for our own growth.
Practical Guidance for You:
This week is the time we must remember to lead with the light, but don’t be afraid of our own shadows. To truly build the next era to better serve ourselves and the world we must stay in a higher vibration than might feel right to do right now. It’s our natural inclination to dive into the entanglement with others, and even to feel bad about feeling good and trying to maintaining an uplifting and positive attitude.
The answer isn’t to be complacent or naive, or ignore reality. The answer is the participate and be active, while doing your best to move forward in your own world. Use your old wounds as your greatest teachers and help others do the same. While those of us who are here to be a bridge are used to this work and this language, not everyone is.
This month is going to emphasize that we can’t let the past define us, both in our individual lives and as a collective. If we’re working from old grievances and old anger it’s time to let that go. Name it, heal it, and move on. Can you imagine a world where everyone did that? Where people acknowledged their sediment, shed it, and make a conscious choice to become whole?
It’s a big ask, but the new era is asking us all the think this way. We must stay active and stay sovereign, while holding up each other. Never forget the “Power of the Powerless,” per Mark Carney’s speech. This is the lesson Pluto in Aquarius is here to serve us all.
4 Things to Focus on This Week:
* Let your wounds become battle scars
* Write your new definition
* Recalibrate for the new era
* Trust the process
