“This, above all, to thine own self be true.”
– These words of wisdom from William Shakespeare reflect an enduring truth for humanity.
“In our world of physicality where conformity is the norm, it is so difficult to be who we are, to express the innermost essence that is our heart, and yet this is all that the Creator truly asks of us. It takes great courage to be ourselves.” - Karen Berg on the portion of Mishpatim
There is an abundance of water energy (emotions and intuition) in the air this week. The Sun shifts into the sign of Pisces on the 18th, joining three other planets in Pisces. In addition, the North Node (the point of tikkune and transformation) just recently shifted into Pisces for the coming year and a half. Therefore, it’s almost inevitable to focus on connecting to our inner essence and grow our spiritual connections to a higher force—the Lightforce of the Creator.
With the North Node in Pisces this week, the Universe asks us to awaken our connection to the spiritual dimension. We are encouraged to raise our consciousness to a place where we won’t perceive the essence of truth through our senses, but through a sixth sense—our intuition. Remind yourself that a spiritual reality is the origin of everything physical.
This week, we are encouraged to judge less and feel more. This energy will help us awaken true and deep love for our friends and those around us and develop greater compassion and empathy. All week long we will witness a powerful and positive aspect between Mars and Saturn, which gives us the courage to act and manifest actions of kindness and sharing imbedded with the spiritual energy of compassion and mercy. This aspect reminds us that life is not only about our inner feelings and spiritual connection, it's also about manifesting and taking practical actions to bring this energy more actively into the world around us.
