Does it feel as
if the world is spinning out of control or more specifically out of “your”
control? You are not alone. There are undercurrents and patterns of perception
that are breaking down and being destroyed in order for you to find your own
center and true energetic power potential.
The repeating
theme is the Justice or Judgment card. When we are in the control of the Wheel
of Fortune the mechanisms are visible and understandable. Work is rewarded,
idleness is not, and there seems to be a clear order to the cause and effect of
karma. But now we are in the grasp of the Justice energy and justice sometimes
has an invisible and remote way of enforcing karma.
This month there
are going to be moments when there is no obvious logic, no apparent cause, yet
only the effects are seen. You will feel as if all actions have an equal and
opposite reaction. First and foremost you have to recognize that balance
requires an understanding of the opposite polarities within us. It is time to
find the balance of the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind. You are
the sun and the moon. You are the balance of nature and cosmic harmony.
The Egyptian
Goddess Ma’at is where we get the archetype and symbol of justice that is
universal. She weighed the hearts of men carefully against the feather of truth
to test their goodness on earth and their right to eternal life.
This month you
will feel tested by the fates of karma. The balances or imbalances in your life
will reveal themselves to you. There is a potential debt to pay in order to
find where you are in correct action or where you are in a place of guilt
because of incorrect action or of omission. Take a look backwards and see how
one choice lead to another and how that has arrived you at your present
circumstances. For some of you this could feel like a dire warning. For others
of you this could feel like a reassurance. And remember, you can take all
things and events both ways. It becomes your choice as to how you twist the
facts into the perspective of pain or pleasure.
The predator
medicine cards of Snake, Owl, and Hawk and in the forefront and this is a
reminder that there are forces afoot that require you to have a keen sense of
awareness. You are being asked to keep your eyes sharp and looking ahead to the
situations that are looming in the distance. Life sometimes requires a strong
sense of presence in the moment to be able to move and shift with the changing
circumstances. We are moving towards the winter and the direction of reflection
and review. It is time to become more in tune with the rhythm of your own inner
silences. The Universe is asking for your life to become simple. Simplicity is
arduous, because to be simple costs everything that you have. Often you have to
lose all to be simple. It is time to find your own heart and to let that heart
sing in the voice of connection to the universe.
You are in
actuality boundary-less. By its very nature life and existence cannot have a
boundary. Look at what you have settled on and recognize where you are not
content. Contentment allows you to remain small. But you are bigger than that.
Your smallness is how your own mind has imposed a limitation upon your freedom
and upon your unlimited potential. But you have to at moments be brave and do
what seems opposite to being small. You have to be still. Sometimes stillness
feels small but it is not. Stillness allows you to go deeper; it allows you to
drop into the vast limitlessness of your essence. It allows you to see and feel
the power within your formless potential.
So, this month
do not look outside for the answer. Simplify, slow down, and move into the
stillness. Feel and move from that stillness into the boundary-less potential
that is stirring within. This type of energy you cannot grasp and hold onto
from your ego. You have to slow down and move within the rhythm of your organic
life essence as it is aligned with a much larger life-force potential that
surrounds all things.
