Message for the Masses – Week of May 2, 2016

This week we are encouraged by the Hanged Man to let it all go. As we turn upside down the worries and fears fall like change from our pockets.

When I was a kid I loved doing gymnastics. If there was room to flip, I flipped. If I had the choice to walk or cartwheel, I cartwheeled. My favorite move was a back walkover. I enjoyed seeing the world upside down, and then taking the opposite route to standing. I can see now what a gift it was to dare to see the world upside and down so regularly.

As we walk into this new week, at the beginning of this new month, leading into this new season, guided by this new moon; Seems time to remember how good it can feel to see things from a different perspective.

After all of the shake ups over the last few months we are in a period of grace. We are granted the space to take stock in a new way, a fun way, a pleasurable way. It’s time to settle in home, and sink deep into what pleases the senses. Venus is our best friend right now. She beckons us to come out of our hard outer shells and softly writhe in sensual delight.

The Hanged Man is our first step into that realm.

May we hang our head in pure pleasure, and allow our feet to be held in grace.

Our hearts pound with the song of fortitude. The Strength card bears witness to our inner reserves, calling forth and beating the drum of self-knowing. Our truth is upon us this week. Bringing sight to otherwise blind corners, and fortitude allows us the ability to face the illusions we’ve created.

We are called to look inside and open our hearts to the possibly of no drama. Drama creates havoc as we allow our past imprints to dictate what lies ahead. Forge through and allow the unknown to be gold. Forget the worry that seems to drive the heart’s bleeding flood. Genuine consciousness is not attained through reason. We are grasping tight to the idea that it is will that bears the fruits of our labor, yet the mother Maya shows slides of the fool.

Walk the concrete through the fields with your lion. What is its name? Generate a familiar grace that aligns with the heart of each matter that arises. It is time to use our strength to break through the structures that restrain us from the divine.

We are afforded an inward movement this week that allows for review. Review of our passions, our ambitions, our demons, our loves, our lies; in hopes that the flowers of promise make their way through. Release the expectations that keep muscles bound in memory.

We are champions barreling toward the sun.

May we utilize our inner roar with ferocious grace.

The Heirophant stands before us with Socratic inquiry. Who are you now that the protective covers of your wounds have been peeled away?

Rawness and vulnerability have ruled our view through this elliptical period of morphing rebirth. We begin to see how those wounds have historically informed our beliefs and ideas, particularly around how we relate to others; Perhaps allowing for the courage to surrender and make amends. The Heirophant assures us of the design of this metamorphosis, and leads us into a time of burgeoning clarity.

This week offers us that moment just before we charge. We are infused with a jolt of awareness. A rush of surety allowing us to leap forward in ways we may not have dreamed possible even mere months ago.

Wednesday’s Lunar Eclipse in Libra ushers us through the last portal of awakening in this eclipse season. Light bulbs flash in spectacular visions that demand to be taken seriously. We have the spirit of the warrior in our bellies now as we hear the call to action.

Did you catch the scent of the changing winds? They are at your back now, compelling you forward.

If there is desire for someone to be at your side as you charge ahead, tell them…now. If you are realizing ways that your wounds informed your story, rewrite it…now. If there is a road block that you created because of those wounds, destroy it…now. We are called to move forward with clean intentions, fit for the divine beings that we are.

May we capture flashes of clarity and transform them into action with a new found flare.

Our week begins on the eve of the Solar Eclipse in Pisces, no wonder the spirits greet us with the exploding Tower. Bubbles are bursting left and right in our general reality, and we are no longer allowed the luxury of illusion.

These times of sudden change understandably incite fear in our hearts, and beckon us to believe the fear as truth. What an injustice this does to our spirits, as fear leads us nowhere but deeper into delusion. We are called to push through the fear and sit, wide eyed, inside this uncomfortable gift, and allow the new sight.

These jolts are offered as promotions to the next level. We are graduating tomorrow. Deception no longer has a hall pass. The uncomfortable truth is mutating into a blessing that allows us to see our true path. The more sever the blast, the deeper the blessing. This compression breeds diamonds, and in the coming months we will wear them with honor if we stand strong, and don’t allow ourselves to be buried in the rubble.

The key to weathering this week is attitude alignment. If we welcome ourselves as victims, or rage against the crashing current, sure destruction awaits. If we surrender in solid strength, and allow the current to deliver us to the shores of perception, treasure awaits our weary souls.

Mutation can be painful, and this week could add salt to that gore. Our hearts are cracking wide to receive the light of the Sun, and that is rarely comfortable. New versions are birthing, and reason doesn’t pay the bills in this new order. As we struggle to grasp what is actually happening, rest assured that no matter what the circumstance it undoubtedly supports a process of evolution.

The best approach is to mimic the creation. Spill your guts out on the page, the canvas, the dance floor, through the eye of your lens. Release the expression and the light will come. Our journey through the night will eventually wane, and the dawn will bring us sober completion.

May we ride the river of darkness with grace, and allow our hearts to crack as wide as the ocean.

The Two of Swords covers our eyes and asks us to stand down this week. February in general brings a bit of space to breathe, and this card is showing us that our week of examination has come to a close. By now it is likely that you have picked the load to the bone, and unleashed skeletons that have been hiding for years. We are now called to take a step back and allow the manifestation to begin.

Today’s Virgo Full Moon marks the culmination of a cycle that has encouraged our due diligence. With that completion we must release, and wait for further instruction. This can leave us with a tension of sorts. The tension lies between what is true and untrue. The skeletons we’ve unearthed can be separated into those two categories, but the method to the separation is out of our hands. The unfolding is underway, and any idea that we are in control of that unfolding is an illusion. Reality will soon be revealed, and your reaction may surprise you.

Instead we open ourselves as a vessel, primed to receive the guidance that allows our best step forward. The unpacking we’ve done leaves more room for radical movement. It is that radical movement that allows us to feel our freedom.

If you find yourself unable to withhold from action, use that energy to write, tell a story, or daydream your best scenario. The course of this week moves from form to vision. Allow yourself the luxury of some dream time.

May we find our next steps through feeling, and give our eyes a well deserved rest.

We climb into the week with the load of the 10 of Wands on our back. The last couple of months have revealed a lot. We have had no choice but to see all of the excess baggage we carry through our days. A new awareness of the weight we bear dons the opportunity to unload what is no longer essential to our well being. This week we are called not just to let go, but to really feel the quality of this load.

Where did it come from? What does it look like, smell like? Where do we carry it on our body? What sparks the impulse to pursue life as though it’s a true part of our vehicle?

The beauty of this moment is that the cosmic energy gives us some space to do this unpacking. As we lead up to Monday’s Full Moon in Virgo, it allows the solid ground to make a mess in order to clean it up. Each piece asks to be examined. It is a week of observation and sorting.

Do I still need that hurt, where is it getting me to hold on to it?

Is repeatedly reliving the memory of that old love really feeding my soul, or have I turned it into an impossible screenplay?

We must make ourselves lighter.

The times ahead demand the ability to move with nimble grace.

As we move through the load we may see things that we don’t like. Fight the urge to shove it back into the hiding pockets in your field. Those hidden knots do nothing but fester, slowing us down and making us believe we are ugly.

Instead find the courage to look at it directly. See it exactly for what it is. Accept it. Set it in front of you on the table and draw it. Facing the burden head on leads to disintegration. As the barnacles disintegrate we can breathe a little deeper each time, allowing greater endurance for the journey before us.

May we all welcome the grace of the virgin to begin anew and unfettered.

❤️
