Astrology for 10/21/2023

We are in between eclipses and for some that feels like being either in an emotional washing machine or being in a boat with large waves trying to slam you into one cliff face and then the other.
In such a situation many issues come to light. Old hurts surface and we recognize that those things that we believed we have healed might still be a bit tender to the touch.
In our relationships, we all have old triggers that get activated suddenly and show us where we are still healing. Exhaustion is an element that will always put us on edge because we do not have enough energy to do appropriate social protocols.
Sometimes we feel as if our relationships get in the way of our worldly ambitions. But I remember a teacher saying to me many years ago, “Right now in your environment is everything that you need for your enlightenment. Notice I did not say you have all the tools in your hand. I am saying that right now, in your life experiences, your conflicts, your upsets, the people that come into your life, and the situations and circumstances that arise are all the pieces you will need to break open into your true self. All you need to do is embrace each lesson with and open-hearted awareness and allow some things to break you open so that you can discover what is behind the masks your ego wears and the illusions that you perpetuate that block the emergence of your true self.”

I share this today because the Sun squaring with Pluto creates a lot of heaviness in the air. It breeds mistrust and does not allow us to feel relaxed. That is because such an aspect brings big lessons. We feel out of touch with those things we believed were really important.
This type of aspect highlights in yellow, all the unresolved issues that we carry around trust and acceptance. Many of us do not know how to let others in and we believe that we have to do everything ourselves. But none of us do everything alone. There are always those souls behind the scenes that have encouraged us to try and to expand. The faith and beliefs of others have given us wind beneath our wings. While each of us need to claim our path and discover who we truly are, we also need to realize that wanting others to do it for us, opens us to becoming manipulated by that (often) unacknowledged need inside.
Today, look at what we are attached to, and instead discover the deeper meanings of that attachment.
Today, it is hard to take a break and just go with the flow. That river of life seems to want to pull us into a waterfall and we do not know if we want to go along for that ride.
I find resisting the flow … causes us to panic and allow the fear to fester the worst possible outcomes. Instead, chose to allow oneself to go off the cliff. This will give us a more objective mindset and that always gives us better options and choices.
We all impact each other in this life. We are all bouncing our energies off each other and sometimes that can give us just the right amount of kinetic energy to pop through to a new level.
What is clear is that we want to feel better.
We want to find another way to respond.
We want to stop feeling this upset and finally feel as if we have some better options to choose from over our old childhood patterns.
We are being soothed by the Venus Jupiter trine that will come fully in tomorrow. We want healing and to find ways to come together. We need to feel as if something can lift our spirits.
Focus on those things that give you joy and that will allow our hearts to soften and our spirits to be comforted.
Unfortunately, this aspect will make us quite intolerant of anyone that is rude, abrupt, or mean-spirited.
We want to feel, we need to find better ways to express it in the world.
Be thoughtful in your approach, stay hopeful that you have situations and those that can support this new you.

This is a day that if you open to the right person, you can gain great insight that will lead to a rapid change over the next few months.
Stay in your integrity, remember that all of what you feel is yours to resolve. And now, it is the time to start.
