What will humanity bring to 2021
I have been thinking… about the major conjunctions that aligned in 2020. What is the test for humanity and what is the gift ?
Pluto, planet of death, rebirth and power met with a strong and emboldened Saturn, the earth’s timekeeper and karmic lord. A weakened Jupiter joined the meeting but only shared exaggeration and excess.
Pluto reveals the shadowy subconscious imprints we carry as a culture.
Saturn tests our integrity, do we really walk the walk?
When Jupiter is weak he exaggerates and magnifies the situation, distorting facts and reality into our own belief system.
We easily see the shadows as a collective coming to the surface. What are the personal shadows that are arising for you? Places you haven’t healed, perhaps. Places that were pushed into a Pandora’s box?
Right now EMOTIONS are ramped up…that is, E-nergy put into MOTION. When something ignites an emotional fire in us it can reveal a shadow part of ourselves to our conscious self. It often reveals a place where discrepancy exists, a blindspot. The emotion is a shield to keep us from delving deeper, asking the deep questions that can lay us bare. If there is someone or something you follow that is creating drama and significant emotional responses within you it is time to step back form the drama and do a deep dive into that topic. If this is leading you to a less compassionate place than it is harming you.
The only truth I know, and I know this with every inch, cell and breath in my body…Is Positive Reinforcement, Synergy, and Cooperation enable us to reach our full potential. It is the only way we become more. Might and aggression are given a lot of airplay but they are not the only or best solutions, drivers of culture and life on this planet. Each being on this planet from plants to animals to insects is embraced and cared for as soon as they arrive, by parents and by the earth systematic ecosystem that has evolved. The nurturing of the young often puts the survival of the parents in jeopardy and yet against all odds the instinct is clear. Protect, nurture, and love are necessary for the benefit of us all. Nothing is here alone, we are interconnected in the web of earth. And the earth gives us everything we ever have, freely. This is the very Law of earth, nurture and share.
As Saturn squares Uranus throughout this year please keep your vibration high. Practice gratitude, compassion, shine your light everyday! Use thoughts, mantras, prayers to break the barriers and mindsets that are angry, afraid and violent. Be truthful, imbue this year with the best that you can muster. Be careful what you allow into your mind. Where attention goes energy follows, that is the law of attraction. This is the test this year.
The Dali Lama talks more eloquently about this here: https://www.dalailama.com/messages/world-peace/the-global-community
He states, “The compassionate mind is like an elixir; it is capable of transforming bad situation into beneficial ones. Therefore, we should not limit our expressions of love and compassion to our family and friends. Compassion is the necessary business of every part of the human community.”
Saturn, the karmic timekeeper is now in Aquarius, sign of humanity and hope. We must work this year to represent humanity in its fullest and most positive capacity (i.e. smart, resilient, caring, and kind). Jupiter is stronger this year. And in Aquarius he can provide big ideas, big hearts, and visions of a better world. We need to be care-ful (Saturn) and wise (Jupiter) openminded and logical (Aquarius) when we meet Uranus (changeling). Uranus can be a fearless visionary OR a disruptive chaotic force that will force us to rebuild. Uranus is currently in Taurus, the sign of material comfort, food, and earthly resources. The square aspect is asking us to “turn the corner” regarding food, money, and earth resources.
Listen with an open mind and heart. Be the deciders we are called to be for these decisions might well decide the fate of our children in the future.
