Are You Willing To Wait....

Hi, we meet again.

We said bye last week at the entrance to the portal. Standing in front of Makara, the Gatekeeper.

We were wondering what messages to send to the other side.

Makara is our Critical Faculty. Standing guard of our unconscious mind.

Before you speak to the Gatekeeper, allow me to speak to you.

Deceptively Simple

It seems so clear. Make a list.

Break it down into small parts.

Know what you have to do everyday.

And do it.

And yet....

Why?

Do wrong things seem so right?

Is routine so difficult to adapt to?

Do some goals seem scary?

Do we run out of options?

Do we slip?

And why do we feel like a small, miserable failure when we do?

Shackle Tackle

Sometimes it feels like we have invisible shackles. Holding us in place.

Fate seems to throw wet blankets on our dreams.

And then we wonder....maybe this is not meant to be....

What was I thinking?

Maybe we think....we are not good enough...

How foolish to think we could achieve something like that!

We thought we had a 'To-Do' list.....

But now we find that we are on the 'Too Too' list.....

Too old, too weak, too stupid, too wrong, too different, too inexperienced, too lacking, too delulu.....

Right Here Right Now

Where we stand. Is the place that we understand something.

We stand in the house of Capricorn/Makara. The house ruled by Saturn/Shani.

And it is here in this house, that we get an opportunity to learn something.

A Story

Saturn is the son of The Sun.

You know the Sun. The mightiest figure in the solar system. Majestic. Royal. Full of Light. Handsome. With everyone looking up to Him.

And Saturn is dark. Emaciated. Lean with long limbs. Slow. Stiff. Ugly. Lame. He looks down as if ashamed of who he is.

The Sun couldn't bear to look at this child of his. He banished Saturn.

And Saturn went away to the farthest point of the Solar System.

The Wound

Saturn carries this wound.

This pain of rejection.

And so do we.

Some people I know have hard core stories like Saturn did.

Some of us had easier circumstances.

But we all feel the pain of rejection in our own ways.

That is what we need to realize here in Capricorn.

For that is what holds us back from doing what we want to do.

We are scared of rejection.

And so we reject ourselves, our goals, our dreams, our desires.....before the world can reject us.

First Things First

We've got to tell Saturn something.

The Solar System expanded. You are no longer on the farthest end.

The story changed.

And Now...

Let's stand a while longer with the Gatekeeper.....

In the week ahead we have Venus moving out of Capricorn and joining Mercury and Rahu in Aquarius. The Sun, Pluto and Mars remain in Capricorn. Mars is slowly heading towards his point of exaltation.

You may find your energy levels increasing. You may feel more chatty.

You may pay more attention to your appearance. It's a good time send tendrils out. Start networking processes, in a 'expanding your antenna to see possibilities' way.

The Sun is in Saturn's house. It's a great opportunity to reconcile. Bury the hatchet with people.

There's a lot of activation of earth and air at the moment. Gives me the visual of a dust storm.

That's how the world maybe looking now. Things being stirred up.

You find the more helpful aspects. Find your two feet firmly on the ground. Find your breath.

Relax...

Until we meet next week....and perhaps the Gatekeeper will allow us to send a message through....

Be very good. Eat well. Take a walk. Do what you have to do. Tick the things off in your list.

See you....
