Are You Optimistic?

OPTIMISM AND HUMILITY WITH THIS FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS

Q: Are You Optimistic?

A: Yes, very! While it seems the headlines continue to bring in the intensity of the times, I can’t help but feel optimism from within my own skin. I can see there is a way forward through the density of the egotism and violence that consumes much of our society and, for me, it begins with self-responsibility. If I can show up fully with a clear mind and without blame, then I can change my world. And this is exactly what is needed right now, a new world.

ASTROLOGICAL TRENDS

We are living in a heated timeline of life. And the astrological energy is ramping up from now (Jupiter in Aries) through the end of this year (Mars in Gemini for 6 months) and decade (Pluto’s last degrees within Capricorn for instance). When I see trends in this way, I immediately go to my inner work for answers to the questions I haven’t yet asked. I take time to infuse my every moment with curiosity which provides for buoyancy inside of the tumult that can arise. I share this with you because, regardless of how optimistic I may be, I am also a realist and when an inner truth expressed as an outer circumstance is revealed and challenges me, I know that the only way I can navigate this is to face it with humility.

My hunch is that humility is awaiting us on the other side of the obstacles ahead. My intuition is to humble myself as much as I can now through a deep process and understanding of why this is important to do. And you know what? Humility is a kingdom of light. It is eloquent in stature, it is graceful and strong. It is powerful in the way that it. Simply. Is. So why be afraid of humiliation? Well, it doesn’t sound fun and for the ego, it isn’t. However, having been publicly humiliated and then moving through humiliations within my own inner process as a means of dying to myself, I can truly say it is a blessing. I pray for this.

LETTING GO OF PRIDE

Today is a full moon in Sagittarius. As opposed to letting the unskillful shadows of pride, arrogance, and inconsideration rule your unconscious driven by the hidden face of this moon, remember humility. There is a blazing momentum of the spirit’s fire that will resound from this moon in all directions. The energy to seek the truth and the motivation to hold ourselves accountable for what we find is a treasure of this moment if you so choose it. There are strong aspects to this moon, including a square to Neptune that could spur an emotional crisis out of nowhere. It is imperative to choose clarity over confusion, stamina over weakness, and true over false. Saturn comes in with a sextile to our moon that inspires us towards clarity and maturity if we stay discerning and reverent. And in so doing, the extraordinary may arise!

In summary, If we can stay open to the lessons coming and ride the emotional waves with a softened responsive heart, there will be a strength that can penetrate any confused state and bring us back to the inner truth of fire within.
