New Moon in Aquarius this week (Wednesday, February 2nd @ 6:31p PST – also marking the Lunar/Chinese New Year) brings forth the beginning of new associations and affiliations and/or new perspectives of the ones we’ve had. This new moon day is also an universal ‘8’ day, so these new and shifting relationships are likely to hold powerful potential for contribution to the manifestation of our true goals and ambitions.
Many of us have been experiencing a strange tension in the last 2-3 weeks – an anxious energy that seems to be present underneath everything going on and seems to be building toward some sort of epiphany. It’s like we’ve been gradually awakening to the truths within ourselves, and as part of the process, we are being confronted with questions about how our actions and associations reflect (or don’t reflect) those truths. With the upcoming New Moon in Aquarius bringing us into hyper-awareness of our places in the world, Mercury currently in Capricorn keeping our minds on our goals and intentions, and Venus still in Sagittarius keeping us conscious of truth in our hearts, we may experience some interesting moments of clarity this week regarding what we are really up to and if our associations are actually supporting or detracting from those objectives. These questions will likely continue for about another month or so, asking us to look at ourselves and our lives to recognize how we can best claim our collective and individual-personal powers and live into our inner truths. During this time, we will either find ourselves either accepting or resisting the answers that ring true in our hearts.
Many people feel powerless in their ability to live into their inner truths because they are waiting for others to tell them what those truths are (a.k.a. – waiting for others to do the work for them), or they are waiting for others to validate them (as if that will make them really true). There is no real ownership of those truths because they are not coming from within, and therefore, there is no value or worth to the good that may come from them because there is no true alignment with them. Those people resist the good that comes to them in their lives because deep down, they know the rewards don’t belong to them – they didn’t do the work for it. However, if and when they are willing to face their inner truths, and once they choose to do the work themselves to honor and express those truths, that is when they can genuinely embrace the love, power, and prosperity that comes into their lives. That is when they can experience the power of love which comes through both giving and sharing their inner truths with others and receiving from others as those others share their inner truths.
It all comes down to is this: establishing alignment from within. In this universal ‘4’ year of setting up a solid foundation for what we are creating our world to be, it is very important to make sure that everything we are putting into place in our lives empowers and supports us in what we are committed to building. It is also important that we are choosing to associate with people and be involved in activities which further our progress and development and truly support us in building our structures for success in what is important to us. A major part of this process is recognizing who and what contributes to your capacity to be and do what you say you are committed to being and doing.
I invite you to ask yourself these questions this week:
- Are you doing (or starting to do) what you said you would be doing, or are you just talking about it and not actually getting anything done?
- Are the people around you holding you accountable for what you said you would do (and are you allowing them the space to do that), or are they letting you off the hook for not doing anything to get it done?
- Are you depending on others to hold you accountable to get done what you said you’d get done, or are you holding yourself accountable and getting it done because it’s truly important to you?
- Are the activities you are participating in moving you closer or taking you away from doing what you said you would do?
- And most important, is what you say you are doing and is what you are doing really what you want to be doing – does it ring true for you? (And if not, then why are you doing it?)
Consider your answers to these questions, and from your answers, consider that a shift in alignment may be due for you. If you aren’t already doing so, I ask you to engage in this inquiry this week and see what happens when you begin to do what you say you want to and will do. Enjoy the adventure of the process! I’d love to hear what you find! Please comment or send me messages to let me know.
Until next week…
~ Light, Love, and blessings,
Grace
