The Dignity of Humanity

There’s a lot going on here on Planet Earth just now and not all of it is obvious, even when we can see the effect of it in our own lives.  There are matrixes of being that are repairing themselves.  Slivers of our souls that have been imprisoned are being released into the light.  But sometimes, even as we blink and stare at the possibilities, we cling to what we know out of fear of the unknown.  Which is understandable!

These matrixes (I know, it should be matrices but I do like that X) are holographic, flowing out from our soul to our heart to our bodies to the earth to our mother our family other people other planets the sun the galactic centre the super galactic centre the cosmos and other dimensions.  All holographic relationships.  All being repaired.

I watched the movie PS. I Love You on the tv the other night.  I’ve seen it before so it lost some of  it’s sob quotient. Haven’t seen it?  Hilary Swank’s father suddenly and unexpectedly walked out on them when she was young.  She grows up, gets married, and her husband dies suddenly and unexpectedly of a brain tumour.  Abandonment take 2.  The whole family turns up to grieve anew.  It’s a very human story of a family repairing itself.

Today’s transits speak of  repairing the vast holographic matrix, by interacting with it on the human scale.  It’s the way we do it, that’s why we came here and chose to be human.  So we could do what needs to be done …. as humans, not robots, not intergalactic space intelligences.  Sure we all work together and quite a few of us are an amalgam of parts, only one of which is human, but still here we are in human bodies, with human DNA, face to face with our own humanity.

Today was very special, and I obviously needed to wait till this evening to write about it because this morning when I tried to publish, the whole post was deleted.  I had to wait and come back to it later, when I had time to recover it.  And of course now I have a whole different perspective to the one I left home with this morning.

What’s Unconditional Love Got To Do With It?

With Ophelia turning up for her starring role in today’s transits (18) – a woman driven mad by love or perhaps by it’s lack – then love and it’s effect on us must be significant.  Especially as this gate represents the deep and powerful effects of parental conditioning upon us.  We tend to play the same love stories over and over again – a family pattern of love and loss.

Ophelia was very likely pregnant when she apparently became hysterical and drowned herself out of  unrequited love for Hamlet.  But one senses that it wasn’t Hamlet she was mourning, but her own lost potential.  Let’s face it, no one seemed to be taking too much notice of Ophelia, politics being much more interesting.

Over the past few days I’ve come to sense that Ophelia could represent that feeling each one of us has within us of what a perfect love would feel like.  It may not even be a romantic love, perhaps more like a soft gentle breeze that soothes our soul.  This feeling, we are told over and over again, has little value ‘in the real world’, and is only an hysterical romantic fantasy in any case.  And yet we spend our whole lives craving it, or suppressing our desires in ways that make us neurotic.

Adding to the picture of madness and loss in today’s transits, is Eurydike in the Gate of Emptiness (41).  After Eurydike’s death, Orpheus went a bit mad, lost in grief and longing,  he could do nothing but play his haunting mournful music.  This gate (41) adjoins the Gate of Clinging – what we cling to in order to feel emotionally safe and secure.  Neptune and Chiron are sitting in that gate.  Delusion (Neptune) and woundedness (Chiron) – oversensitivity rules!

Let’s add in a third story of grief and loss.  Ceres is in the Crown Chakra (61).  All alone in the spiritual realms, she grieves the loss of her earthly daughter, taken to become the wife of Pluto/Hades.  Ceres shows what we take from the parental patterning and turn into romantic drama as we come of age.

Ophelia and Eurydike are activating crucial gates that link the emotions with our cellular intelligence and DNA, and if we add Ceres in the spiritual realm of the Crown Chakra, we have a story that permeates every layer of our being.  And it’s a story that wants to be told just now.

We are uniting the love of self, family, romantic love and love of friends and community with our spiritual experiences of unconditional love.  A love upgrade!

Today’s chart is a bit of a crazy one, with Mercury retrograde making a pass over Mars and Pluto in the Root Centre.  They’re all in the Gate of Joy, but the joy may be well hidden within the “negative” material being released from our psyches just now.

Mercury tends to bring things to consciousness, feelings, ideas, habits that we haven’t been able to see before now.  Mercury retrograde is especially powerful in this way, forcing us to look where we have previously averted our gaze.

This old sense of grief and loss held in our cellular memory has become compacted over millenium, replayed a thousand times till we have confused it with reality.  We unconsciously think and do all kinds of crazy things to avoid feeling that pain again.  This conditioning has been preventing us from connecting with the earth in her glorious abundance and with each other in our true love and joy of relationship.

We simply can’t evolve any further until we are free to relate with life at a more subtle cellular level, sensing and attuning rather than posturing and posing.

Just at the moment that these three planets – Mercury, Mars and Pluto – came together this morning, the Moon passed over Jupiter and Uranus in the Gate of Bringing the Darkness to the Light, or Brilliance Injured, Brightness Hidden (36).  In this gate our brilliance can’t express itself because culture prevents it.  And yet, somehow we find the courage to keep that light shining deep within us, even when we feel that no one else can see it.

Venus has just popped in the Gate of Encountering (44) this morning to add her advice to the lovelorn – don’t worry about the limitations you are experiencing just now.  The currents of change are flowing deeply, powerfully and quickly.  Saturn conjunct Haumea in the Gate of Penetrating (57) is allowing a cellular intelligence that is completing the mother matrix, so damaged in our development on a cultural and personal level.  Once that is complete we will feel safe enough to open up more fully to the earth matrix and then the relationship matrix of being.

My feeling is that the damage to these matrixes disturbs the natural templates of the human body, particularly the endocrine system and this is what causes disease, aging and death.  The repair process is proceeding very quickly now.

Deep Unconscious Emotions

Our emotions may feel powerful, compulsive, messy and even crazy just now.  It’s natural to express them, even if we can’t understand them.  We are busting through a wall of conditioning that tells us we are unacceptable, unwelcome and unloved.  We sense that we can’t survive in this place.  Our cells are releasing old programming about what love is – perhaps feeling the need to punish ourselves, act the martyr or resist nourishment.   In this limited place we’ve learnt to guard ourselves against revealing anything that would threaten our inclusion, anything that has kept us from being ‘loved’.  But we are birthing a new love and that requires all of you to be present, even the parts you might still think are crazy and irrational.

This is a healing of the child in us all, allowing a new level of spiritual maturation to flood the planet.  The Asteroid Child is in gate 14, which speaks of obstacles melting away to allow the manifestation of magnificent prosperity and abundance (from Hilary Barrett):

A great chariot is big enough to move great possessions – carrying you, and your life, to a new place.  This should be used to move on: the only mistake would be to stay in the same place, imagining you are stuck.  Clarify where you are, and what you have, and how this enables you to travel onward.  Hold a vision in mind of where you want to arrive, and set out to explore.

Child of light, you are unconditionally loved and welcomed here.  It is time to reclaim your dignity as a human being.
