How do you feel about your body? About money? About the material world? Are they an integrated part of your life? Or something outside of you, alien and out of control?
Right now we are focused on our emotions, our need for gentle understanding, soothing, stroking, nourishing and nurturing. Or we are avoiding this underlying craving because of the pain it brings up for us, a need so deep it feels that it may kill us if we let it loose.
The current connection between the Root Centre and the Solar Plexus Centre is questioning how we bring this part of ourselves into the world. How do we consciously bring this vulnerable and gentle part of ourselves into our day to day community without being attacked, acting irrationally, crying in business meetings, throwing a tantrum in aisle three when we can’t find the kind of bread we like?
The Sun is in the Gate of the Marrying Maiden. This is the story of the concubine who rose through her own efforts to be Empress of China. This gate helps us see that relationships built on form alone deny us the mystical and cosmic connections we crave with others. Affection is paramount. And in affection we can endure in our relationships so that all things are understood within a bigger picture.
This gate has a very specific connection to money and business. It is sharp, on the ball, and connected to the absolute highest energetic emanations of our financial dealings with each other. It is mystic collaboration that operates in the energetic field of synchronicity.
In the transits, the Earth position shows how we can leverage our manifesting abilities. For the next five days we are beginning something new.
The Earth is in Gate 53, the Gate of Beginnings - tranquility within and slow and steady progress without. When we are tranquil and allow things to take their natural course they develop successfully. Not what we learnt in business school!!
When we follow this idea all our projects (including relationships) develop in a way that is totally integrated - body, mind, spirit. When we allow one dominant part of ourselves to bully the other parts we get an unbalanced, unsuccessful and unsatisfying outcome. When our body and emotions are part of the mix, our mind is more balanced and more relaxed. We are grounded AND in touch with our spirit.
There’s a challenge here because our emotions can feel messy, irrational, infantile. And no doubt they are in some respects. It’s not about parading them before the world so much as being conscious of these feelings, and sharing them when appropriate. Gradually those lost parts of ourselves come into our life again and begin to mature. Giving them the space and time to do so is the act of a spiritual warrior.
You Human Design chart shows how these aspects of yourself relate to each other, which are dominant and which are more passive. It also shows precisely how to bring them into harmony. I love that we have access to this kind of leading edge information.
Mars is in the Gate of Joy. In this hexagram, Joy comes when Truth and Strength rests in the heart and Gentleness reveals itself in social intercourse. According the The Sun card in Tarot - true joy can be given boundlessly without ever giving itself away. It is a generative force, not a dissipating one. If your joy is dissipating, do whatever it takes to return to tranquility, think whatever you need to think, feel whatever you need to feel. Do it for all of us. Your joy is our love. Our love is your joy.
In love,

Jupiter is in the Gate of Limitation. This gate is about learning to allow the energy to flow within universal patterns. It’s about not railing against fate, not seeing our experiences as something that’s happening ‘to’ us.
Mars is in the Ajna Centre for a while yet and this is firing up our ability to do the work that Saturn demands of us there. Nothing less than creating a new structure of thinking about the world.
