Keeping the Light Going 12/4/11


The moon governor of our sensitivities, still conjunct to a retrograde Uranus now finds itself in Aries. Our emotional state is one of impatience. We may be jumpy and nervous. We long to find something new to hold onto but the wheel is well in spin and it is hard to say where it stops. The position of the moon underlies a Mars already somewhat uncomfortably in Virgo... tending to demotivate through over particularity and indecision through too much detail work, is frustrated by a mercury retrograde conjunct to the Sun in Sagittarius, meaning our focus and thought, turns philosophically inward longing to expand what we are capable of understanding... translation it is easy to have standards so high we have trouble meeting them... in times such as this it is best not to focus on how much we know but simply on the next thing to learn. Remember even the masters of any art or science felt out of their league when faced with all that could be known about even their own particular speciality. The Solar-mercurial placement underlines Jupiter itself in retrograde in Taurus caught in a grand trine with a Pluto Venus conjunction in Capricorn and Mars (yes again with the Mars) in Virgo. Grand trines are usually considered a fairly easy and simply positive (or easily enjoyed) configuration, Pluto Mars and a Jupiter in retrograde make this difficult just by their natures. Jupiter turning inward questioning how it finds its growth in the world, how it tills its fields... how it makes its physical living, This insecurity fuels a tendency to want to play secretly and in a dirty fashion in affairs of politics the law and finance as well as the heart... (Pluto conjunct Venus in Capricorn) both of these encourages and are encouraged by a Mars, our sense of motivation, as well as temper in a picky hard to motivate introspective place.

Wow, its just a ball of frickin' sunshine all over right? OK here's the deal, you can lye there and let his be what you act on. You could also reach for that learning, and embrace the hard work, the rewarding truth that all this is meant to be teaching us. Because the thing is... it is easiest to close up. It is easiest to play darkly, to plot to let insecurity win, to fold to our weakest nature. And if we do, the cycle of this pattern will reinforce the same uncomfortable feelings, the same darkness and we will be ever more compelled to make these same decisions... that path leads to personal destruction. Its as simple as that.

When we take the chance, and face down that fear, and choose to live life with integrity, when we look ourselves in the eye and say, I am afraid yes, I am insecure yes, but I walk forward, I grow one step at a time, and today I do not need to get far, just one step forward, or even hold my ground.

The flame of truth goes back to the very beginning, and it has always been small, but it has been passed hand to hand, and one day it will rage and fill the world with light, and maybe it is even in some ways it is bigger than it ever has been... Sometimes it is enough just to keep the fire going so that it may be passed on... and that alone means that someday the whole world will be warmed in its glow. But if we do not take that one, small, seemingly useless, but magnificently important step forward into the night, it is over.  Step forward, and you might even see a light unexpected, and a future undreamed of!
