Time to fly. Pen on paper. August 12, 2023
Energy Update
Uranus enters Gemini July 7 where it will stay until 2033, except for a few months when it retrogrades back into Taurus. We are already feeling significant waves from this planetary movement.
Uranus in Gemini is predicted to accelerate innovation in communication, technology, and learning. It will open our minds to new ways of thinking and interacting. Importantly, Uranus was in Gemini during the American Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the US involvement in WWII. In terms of societal structure and culture in the US, Uranus in Gemini has strong potential to be a time of radical change and upheaval.
Admittedly, I did a bit of a double take when I got the words ‘fly’ and ‘wings’ for this week’s newsletter. The energy itself feels chaotic, and even oppressive. And yet, ‘fly’ and ‘wings’ … so I scratch my head, stare to the sky, and ask some questions.
Uranus is ‘the disruptor’ both collectively and individually. At the personal level, it doesn’t so much invite us out of our patterns and ruts, as it boots us out. Uranus says, stop trying to keep yourself safe in the nest when you were born to use those wings.
The winds of change are coming. If we try to hold onto the old, or fight change, we risk getting battered by the wind.
This energy says, "‘start practicing’, because now is the time to fly.
Micropoetry
Message from Chardon
Your world keeps moving and changing and you find yourself being asked to change, or to be dragged along by currents not of your choosing.
The tension of this time invites you to stay safe. To stay small.
But your soul did not come here to be small. The status quo does not call you. Remaining in your comfortable rut will not further your soul’s path.
Your soul asks you to risk. Your soul came here to experience, to be, and to become. Become what? Become who? Ahh, those are the questions for you.
Why are you here? How do you wish to be? What do you value?
Can you be honest with yourself and answer these? Not the way you think they ‘should’ be answered, but the way your heart desires to answer.
The risk of life is to risk living. To risk the freedom of being fully yourself. To risk yourself following your soul’s path.
To do so, you must embrace you. All of you.
Your uniqueness.
Your identity.
Your voice.
You.
So that you may find your wings and begin to fly.
