Hi Everyone! I hope everyone is handling the month of Pisces fairly well. Actually, there’s some good news on the menu today! Yay!
The world’s chart opens up this week with a moon and a gazillion planets in courageous Aries, and three planets in Pisces. Picture this: Mars, Venus, Uranus, the south node of the moon, and the moon itself all conjunct, like a big sandwich in fiery Aries. We were supposed to be in a wet atmosphere, yet we end up with nine fire planets!
Interestingly, a beautiful feature appears this week: we can spot a perfect Star of David in the cosmos! Two triangles are well formed (in astrology they are called trines) and this particular shape is truly a blessing in a cosmos full of Aries action and battles.
Let’s decipher the cosmic meaning of all this…
This week, we are confronted with two very different energies and frequencies. So, clearly there is A LOT for us to learn.
First, let’s examine the water energy with the placement of the sun, Neptune, and Chiron all in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. The sign, Pisces is traditionally thought of as the supportive back bone, the spine so to speak, of the entire zodiac. Then let us ask, what is, in fact, supporting our lives and growth?
The kabbalists answer very wisely: we are supported by all of our unselfish actions, everything that we share of ourselves. Sharing actions are like water; they spread quickly and get everyone wet!
So, this week's first lesson is about expanding our comfort zone of sharing, feeling like an ocean, knowing that we can touch and inspire everbody. We are also like water—water doesn’t think of pouring itself, it just does because this is its nature. This is the reason for its creation. In the same way, sharing needs to become a natural habit, something we do without thinking. Nor should we ask for a reward for having done it. The sea doesn’t wait for any of us to give it thanks!
The second energy, the Aries fire, requires a bit more work on our part. A major theme of the ram is What do people think of me? How important is this for us? We need to ask ourselves, are we constantly expecting love, appreciation, and respect from others? How do we feel when people disagree with us? Do we lose ourselves, do we try convincing them we are right, or do we just join them to be loved no matter what? This week, let’s decide that the only thing we really long for is wisdom, Light, and internal balance (the star of David), as opposed to appreciation and respect just for the sake of it.
Whoa, what a difficult choice! What can we do practically to help ourselves?
In the work place, look for win-win situations instead of taking on an "I-am-right" attitude. Among our friends, we need to make sure we project ourselves with more integrity and genuiness. Most importantly, do not be afraid to show your weaknesses!
This week, let's go for more transparency, have a sharing attitude, and let’s take off the masks! So, when asked how you feel, answer genuinely! “I am scared of my new job,” “I made a mistake yesterday,” “I am afraid I won’t be loved if I don't do what you are asking me,” etc. Simply volunteer your state of mind as genuinely as possible, without questioning what people may think. As a French philosopher once said, don't busy yourself asking what others think of you, because right now THEY are very busy asking themselves what you think of them. The bottom line is everyone is only busy with him or herself!
Kabbalistically, the star of David is significant because it has the perfect support system, the perfect flow of Light and energy between us and others. One triangle points up like fire, shining its Light brightly. And the other points down like rainwater, spreading the sharing energy to others .
Remember, the cosmos always echoes us—the more truthfulness we inject in the cosmos this week, the more genuine people and opportunities that will come our way.
Wishing everyone a beautiful and balanced week!
Love,
Yael
