We are currently facing an experience of pain and suffering, due to a loss or betrayal in some aspect our lives this month. This will cause us to take a hard look at those around us, perhaps placing blame externally, or even placing the blame upon our own choices and decisions of the past. The roots of our healing will come from letting go of the what if’s. “What if I did it differently? Would I be suffering if I was more successful, beautiful, intelligent, more of a go getter, more understanding?” These internal judgements simply hold us back from recognition of who we are and where we are now! It is also possible others may be making a judgement call about us based on our past choices that is blocking us from abundance in what we desire in the world here and now. Perhaps even our highest self, our spirit, has concluded that we are not meant to receive the abundance we currently desire because it is not truly what suits our highest good. We may be suffering because in fact now is not the time for growth, new creation or the attainment of our material desires.
But we are ready to move forward! We can choose to move on from the endeavors of the past that were not successful. This lack of success in our worldly workings was likely due to our own egoic attachment, our attachment to others, or attachment another’s beliefs or ideas. Some of us have been blocked from success due to our disregard for others all together. But there is always more to create in this life, a new opportunity and a new horizon to march toward. New goals and desires will be presented to us, though they may seem far off and not yet fully manifested in the material world. As we encounter chances to start anew, it may be that we fear the outcome of these new works or have an expectation that the results will not show up in the way we want. It is crucial that we use discernment, observing without self-judgement or an attachment the results of our past actions, and choose to make peace with where we are on our journey now. By doing so we make it possible to move forward! We can heal and release these old patterns, connect with new prosperity and share in the creation of new abundance. By being present in the movements of progress and in the moments of halt (while potential energy is rising), we experience and express an experience of peace on every step of our path.
Dharma (4 of Cups): All material attachment creates suffering. This is due to the fact that everything in this world is temporary, the universe and its energy is always shifting and changing. Therefore, we must release our sense of value in things, and find abundance within our true nature, the Self, Pure Awareness.
Kama (The Star): Desire for the fulfillment of our dreams guides us beyond the physical aspects of success, and by looking past the material reflections of these desires we acknowledge our cups are already full!
Ardha (7 of Wands): We stand strong to fight for what we believe in! We do so not by bringing others to their knees, but by standing strong in our own power of knowing and being. Through a dedicated commitment to our highest ideals we will forge a path that is always met with success, fighting not for things, but for who we know we really are.
Moksha (The Empress): Through this process we merge with the Cosmic Flow. We give birth to a new universe; one filled with boundless unconditional love, and one in which we collaborate with Universal creativity to manifest the highest good for all.
Our Call: King of Fire ~ Through alignment with our hearts true desire we become a light, a beacon of transformation, growth and positive change in ourselves and others. We have always had the power within us to create the path that brings the dreams of our spirit to life.
Guiding Wisdom: St. Francis of Assisi ~ We are always guided and supported by our hearts’ desires. If we feel misunderstood, we must look at where our choices and actions come from. Do they come from ourselves or do they come from others? When we listen to our hearts we receive the guidance and the purpose behind all challenges and rewards along our path become clear. We mustn’t be compelled to live for another person. But this is not a call to live a selfish life, simply a reminder that when we truly live from a knowing of our highest ideals, all of the world will benefit from our gifts.
