Occupying.....and regrouping.

The world, right now, is seemingly shifting off its axis - at least it feels this way to just about everyone that is not working, or living on the edge of perceived disaster.  In my own life, I cannot recall a more tenuous time; things feel alive, yet scary.  Dynamic, yet unstable - and angry, yet happy.  The doom and gloom scenario is in full swing; we have an election next year, without really knowing what the lay of the political land looks like yet.  There is no real front runner in the Republican party, and President Obama’s presidency is seemingly hanging by a thread, ready to implode at any moment. Everything is hinging on the world economy, which is very quickly starting to free-fall.  And now, increasing by the day - is the Occupy movement, which started out as a few people protesting on Wall Street in New York about corporate greed, and now its in at least 250 cities.

What is all this, really?  What is really going on behind all the chaos of the world?  An extraordinary time of complete shifting of consciousness.  That is the engine behind the chaos.  It is glaringly apparent that the systems that we know are now failing, and failing fast.

What we have to look at is this: what is economic abundance, really?  Is it held at the top 3% of the population with the rest of the minions just getting scraps?  Or, perhaps as President Obama is really telling us, is that wealth in this country must be shared by all.  That’s the money situation - but also, how about how we hold money?  Do we hold it as though we deserve it, and have our needs met, or do we scrimp for every dime, and always feel like we never have enough?  Each of us has to ask that question of ourselves.  If we have enough, and that isn’t just money - its abundance of life, of energy ,of health, of creativity, of purpose - its all those things.  A rich, full life with meaning.  The rest is just gravy. 

We are at a crossroads now, where we must, each and every one of us, must ask ourselves what our value is, and what we can do to manifest our own personal destiny.  The power in the self comes from absolute total integration of everything we are, and discarding what we are not.  When we are manifesting on all levels, we have utter and total joy in our lives.  Perhaps its time for the world at large - our government and its peoples - to look at being the best humans we were meant to be.  We have to go back to ourselves, at square one, and refind what brings us fulfillment, on all levels.  And bring joy and radiance into the world.
 
Its way over due, and about time.

A sense of inner grace....

As Venus moves into my 4th house, and Saturn right behind it - something is happening, and it feels really good.  That is to say, that inner serenity and new boundaries are starting to be rebuilt.  This is involving the jettinsoning of certain people that tend to bring nothing but drama and stress.  After all, this lesson is about the solidification of my love for my own inner self, and those things and people that don’t support that, or perhaps impede my connection to the inner grace I seek, will likely be phased out, albeit in a gentle way.  We don’t usually pay much attention, most times, to the smaller transits of the inner planets, but there has been a noticable shift in my sense of personal peace, since Venus and her graceful self, moved ever so delightfully into my 4th house.  Which would support this:  that transits into the 4th - no matter how small or large - is an event to be noticed and integrated, in the larger whole.  And as Venus and Saturn move onto my Neptune, lets just see how romantic it all gets.  What fun!!
