Enjoying Jupiter’s Expansive Ride
25th April 2011
There’s two ways we can go with Jupiter in the Gate of Increase (42) until 18th May. We can get depressed about everything that is wrong with our lives and the world. Or we can relax, release our attachment to how things should be, and enjoy the ride. Because ride it will be, as Jupiter approaches Eris who sits waiting in line 6.
And speaking of Eris, we need to watch where we blame others for the chaos in our lives. And look for what that person is trying to unlock for us. It will be something deeply hidden, some sort of limitation we have imposed on ourselves. I find Byron Katie’s The Work excellent for this type of self enquiry.
With Mercury still sitting in the Gate of Resources in the ego based Heart Centre, expect the root of a lot of the problems to come from a deep seated belief that there’s not enough (of whatever) to go around.
Do you remember I wrote about 10 days ago that a friend of my neighbour, Jan, had been screaming and smashing her things up? That was when Venus was in the Solar Plexus Centre, in Gate 22. Well Jan told me this morning that the friend (actually her daughter-in-law) has taken over her home to such an extent that she feels she has to move out to her daughter’s, and leaving the daughter-in-law to it. She’s moving in with five children under 6 years old! It’s not going to be peaceful!
So I have my own private Eris, a screaming, plate smashing nemesis right outside my door – and it’s very close because we share duplex apartments. I expect it’s going to be really uncomfortable but I’m also fascinated to see what she is going to be reflecting to me about how I create chaos in my own life! Maybe I should start practicing with the plates now?
From Hilary Barrett’s I Ching, Gate 42 Line 1:
This is the moment to get underway, to make the greatest possible use of your gifts. There’s no need to limit yourself to modest, sensible, short-term goals. Allow yourself an unhampered view of the possibilities. This is just the starting point, but from here you can see the emerging shape of the finished work.
your own private eris thats very funny,sounds like a demon,that might implode or turn into a butterfly when its all over.at 28im at that primetime for that building your life/long term goals stuff and was only thinking bout on way home from my cuzins to my mums where I part live and looking forward to building that life thats just mine,ive been feeling I real sence of thing geting super uploaded for last week inparticular,and with jups in incresses,god lord.
yes that’s it, a life that’s just mine!
i’ve got two private eris:s, apparently my inner eris is a tough one to call out, lol! i love the look at other people as helping to unlock stuff – I’ve kept my cool a few times already since reading your post yesterday. very helpful indeed – thank you Kim!
I have a history of dealing with my own personal Gudaffis!!!They occasionally still wreak havoc in my life,and sometimes it can take many years to learn the techniques of politely enforcing and maintaining boundaries.Like you say Kim there is much to learn about yourself from these situations,and knowing you Kim,I dare say your new tempermental neighbour is likely to come out the other end of this volatile time with something new and valuable because of your gentle,respectful ways.
Fab article on Jupiter’s Expansive Ride, what i need to ask you is how much positive or negative impact it will have on one’s life. Thanks for the share..!!
