I think we would all agree that right now, a lot is going on – and that it’s more than we’ve seen in a very long time. Storms are no longer just on the horizon. The wind and lightening are here, and we see the sky darkening with heavy clouds.
All this can feel overwhelming, worrisome, and challenging. What is coming? How will we and our loved ones be impacted? What can we do? How can we feel better?
Time of Change
We are in a time of massive (insert expletive of choice here) change, and it is messy, painful, and very confusing. Where is all this coming from? Why now?
Astrologically, the planets are in a configuration we haven’t seen for over 250 years – the last time we saw similar alignments was during the American Revolution that led to the founding of the United States.
Having said that, I firmly believe that the planets don’t dictate our actions or outcomes, but rather, they set up the energetic weather we experience. They influence the circumstances and conditions we face and experience, but always, we still get to choose how we respond.
The Collective Shadow
Collectively we have done much to grow, to learn, and even to heal. So, why the mess? Because many of us still choose to avoid the brighter light and instead look to hold onto energy that gives a sense of control and stability. Remember, we are all built to avoid change. Habits, consistency, and stability serve to make us feel safe (regardless of whether it really helps us).
What we are seeing now is our collective Shadow – that fear, that resistance, even that anger at change – coming front and center for all of us to confront and decide what we will do next. For it is about deciding, not just looking at the mess and hoping for the best.
How we each choose, in every moment, will make a difference. Responding with anger and fear will simply reinforce what we see now. Responding with courage, with kindness, by holding a bit more love and peace in our hearts sets an energy and intention of healing our collective Shadow that we now are seeing more clearly.
Shifting the Future
We each play a part in this. You may ask how what you feel and how you act each moment can have any impact. We are all radio stations, sending our thoughts, our energy, our love, out around us all the time. Being even a little more hopeful and positive, and honestly looking at our fears, anger, and pain, and asking to heal it, can and will be amazing and very powerful.
All this isn’t rose-colored glasses energy. This is awareness and understanding that every one of us is a soul, part of God/Source, coming from a place of beautiful, divine love. On Earth, we get lost in the denseness; we get stuck with our focus on survival energy rather than thrive energy; we look more at our differences with fear rather than the realization of the opportunity for learning and seeing more than we do alone.
Remembering
How do we make change? How do we bring more light and healing to what we are seeing right now?
Simply remember.
Remember your soul; remember your love; remember your power to choose and be the best you today and every day. See healing, see peace, see love. Choose powerfully to see now – see this for you, see this for your loved ones, and see this for all. Your light matters more than ever. It is possible to remember and to shift our future to healing now.
