“To find a new world, maybe you have to have lost one. Maybe you have to be lost. The dance of renewal, the dance that made the world, was always danced here at the edge of things, on the brink, on the foggy coast.” – Ursula K. Le Guin
We are standing on the edge of a new world.
One you can’t see with your physical eyes, but rather one you can feel, with your Heart.
While the very substance of our current world is crumbling,
exploding,
disintegrating,
before us,
let us take a moment, to reflect.
Close your eyes.
Center and ground your energy,
into the very center of your body
and down into the Earth,
like roots.
Let your breath be soft and easy, let your thoughts scatter like fog chased by the sunlight.
At first there is nothing, then, what reveals itself?
It can be exciting to stare into the nothing, on the precipice of a new dawning.
It is also the one thing humans fear the most, The Unknown.
The abyss.
The ultimate letting go.
But if anything is to be created, that which is no longer serving, must die.
This goes for us as individuals just as much as for us, as a collective.
The vibration of authenticity is rising, like a seed to the surface of the Earth.
Who is your authentic self?
Who are you longing to be?
What are you longing to share?
What must die to set you free?
Cosmologically, we are moving from a Snake year to a Horse year.
From a Small Intestine year (What stays, what goes? What nourishes you, what holds you back?)
to a Heart year (How do you align with your true self? What are your gifts? How do you bring them to the world?)
Numerologically, from a Nine year (zenith point, endings) to a One year (the beginning point, the source).
The shedding, the transforming, and the letting go of last year has made way for the new to emerge. Part of that process is facing shadow, facing the darkness; our doubts, our fears, our undoings, and letting them unravel us. This creates a fertile ground to grow from.
No Mud, No Lotus.
The energy of this year is vibrant, spiraling upward, leading with the Heart. It is a time to strengthen intuition, seek Spirit and Spiritual guidance, to trust the process of unfolding and becoming without knowing the outcome. This year is not about logic, or reason, or analysis; it is about heart-centered evolution. As individuals and as a collective. The energy will move quickly, so make time to slow down, check in and be sure the roots are nourished. This is not a race, not a sprint. It is the rest of our lives we are laying the groundwork for.
Qi follows intention.
Listen to your Heart.
Manifest your Truth.
Astrologically, we are deep in a time period of change. The outer planets have shifted into new positions, new posts, new dimensions. The inner planets are retrograding, looking back one more time, what are we taking with us before the journey of the new path becomes us?
The old world is dying.
The new world is in the birthing canal.
the threshold between worlds.
The sacred space between death and life.
We must become midwives to ourselves, to each other, and to the world.
Stand as pillars of light in the darkness, As anchors along the foggy coast.
The light is the Truth of our Hearts having space to grow.
