“Sarah represented the totality, the total unity, like the seed that contains all of the subsequent versions of that seed—the root, the branch, the leaf, the fruit. All of these will diversify and ultimately emerge separately into physical reality, into a world that appears to be governed by time, space, and motion. Sarah embodied the idea of unity, and our effort today is to merge and create unity.” – Rav Berg on the portion of Chayei Sarah
This beautiful message by Rav Berg was shared during the weekly portion of Chayei Sarah. It is very relevant for this year, as well. From a cosmic perspective, the idea of unity and the ability to connect to the big picture is available for us. This week is highlighted with supportive and positive alignments. Though, one challenging aspect is that it is our choice what we follow and what we give energy to.
From Sunday until Wednesday, the sun in Scorpio creates a beautiful aspect to Neptune in Pisces, in addition to Venus and Mercury and Scorpio to Jupiter in Pisces. Those powerful alignments are here to remind us that we are all connected. It will help us elevate our consciousness and see how this entire universe is designed to support us. Those aspects can also help us access the spiritual realm and impact the way we interact with our loved ones and the way we communicate any messages.
As an additional support, Saturn in Aquarius is moving ahead from the harsh aspect it had with Uranus for the last 2.5 months, and the space that is created releases any pressure or stiff energy that we might have developed around the idea of change or acceptance of others around us. In other words, we can stop holding grudges or stubborn tendencies to see only our own point of view.
The one element we all want to be mindful of and watch out for is Mars, which is currently in retrograde in Gemini. This week also creates a challenging aspect with Neptune in Pisces. The combination of Mars (planet of war) with Gemini (calculative and argumentative) going retrograde can be tough. We are being warned not to fall into any obsessive calculations and speculations that might be triggered from the past. This challenging aspect can damage the potential for unity and elevation as it pulls us down with concern for who deserves what and brings out old “books” from the past.
Start with a logical balance check. If we want to hold on to the powerful energy of unity that is available for us this week, we have to see beyond past disagreements and all the “right” reasons for division and separation from others.
