Aloha,
Please bear with me, as it is a longer report than usual today. I hope you will read all the way to the end. Think of it as soul food, and we could all use a healthy serving!
So, did you all make it through Tuesday! Wow! Pluto (power, power struggles) was really giving us a ride for our money. If you didn't experience the discord directly, you may have witnessed it in others. And, yes, it was waaaaay over the top. Way over the top! Knowing the energies that the day had in store, I was still shocked by the seriousness of blatent displays of ego, will and destructive and manipulative power struggles I saw. I witnessed a little person being bullied and strong-armed by an adult who should have known better. I could not help but intefere. After all, just as Hillary Clinton says, "it takes a village." Though it's often best to mind your own business, few of us would have stood by and done nothing. The energies were so powerful on Tuesday, the earth even shook with a 4.6 earthquake here on Maui!
For Wednesay, things seem to settle down a bit, but mostly because we may feel a little detached emotionally. Unfortunately, we may also feel a little lonely, melancholy and blue. It's probably worse than it really seems (thanks to the Moon ~ feelings, in challenging aspect to Saturn ~ limitations, barriers). Some may be licking their emotional wounds from Tuesday, or offering solice to those who may have suffered the most.
Today is a day to offer our unconditional love to those around us, in the true spiritual principal of the Cancer moon. Rather than tune into the feelings of insecurity, worry and issues of control, I am hoping that we can all find our inner mother, and demonstrate random acts of kindness, gentleness and loving support to everyone in our world today. If we band together and make a pact, maybe we can actually outsmart the planets and transmute the tense energies handed to us yet again, and perform a little alchemy turning sour lemons into something sweet and delicious, turning sad faces into gleeming smiles ~ turning disease and illness into radiant health!
I think it's worth a try. In the spirit of gratitude in this season of Thanksgiving, it is truly time to count our blessings and offer support to those in need. If you must give into the Mars (desire), Jupiter (expansion) squabble, spoiling to go "over the top," let's aim our arrows high and shoot for compassion and be in the true spirit of giving. And, allow yourself to receive. It may just make someones day.
At the risk of sounding a little hokey and mushy, let's dare to see how many smiles we can bring to the people around us today, especially to the ones who seem to annoy us the most. We can never truly pretend to know what makes some people so mean, so hateful. What might they have experienced in their lifetimes to make them so hardened, so closed off? Let's put that cliche "love heals all wounds" to the test, and see if it holds up.
Okay, my friends, hold onto your hats, take another deep breath and make the most of the day! I know we can do it! It's going to be crowded out there today, with last minute shopping for Thursday's feast. People may be on edge, stressed out. Mars (ego) and Mercury (communications) are still neck and neck. It's hard to hold back. If we lash out at others, all parties are wounded. The holidays are very lonely times for many people. We live in a world where families are spread out and separated from eachother.
I learned today, on top of everything else, that my mother was taken to the hospital. She is 5000 miles away. She will spend the holiday in what I hope to be the good graces of kind and loving strangers, the very kind I encourage all of us to be today, and especially through the holidays (please send your prayers, love and light).
You never know whose mother, brother, sister, son or daughter we are giving our unconditional kindness to. And we can only hope that someone is doing the same for our loved ones. Let's get out there are support eachother, until there is so much love and so much light everywhere that we can cause a spontaneous combustion of world peace and love!
Sound crazy? Just read the words of the late John Lennon, and Imagine keeping his dream alive!
Imagine there's no heaven...
It easy if you try...
No hell below us...
Above us only sky...
Imagine all the people...
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries...
It isn't hard to do...
Nothing to kill or die for...
Aand no religion, too...
Imagine all the people...
Living life in Peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer...
But I'm not the only one...
I hope someday...
You'll join us...
And the world will live as one.
Imagone no posessions...
I wonder if you can...
No need fro greed or hunger...
A brotherhood of man...
Imagine all the people...
Sharing all the world...
You may say i'm a dreamer...
But I'm not the only one...
I hope someday you'll join us...
And the wrold can live as one.
~John Lennon
