Numerology/Astrology for 10/17/20

10/17/20 is the number 4.
If you add the 1 + 0 + 1 + 7 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 4.

The pendulum swings back and forth. Passing from one extreme to another. Occasionally hitting a balance point for short periods of time. Today, might have that brief moment of balance. Use it while you have it. Because those ends of the pendulum constantly move.
Traditions are supposed to be a guide not an absolute. They are often the rituals that bring us together and allow us to find our center through that joining with others. And I believe that those traditions and rituals have changed through time. Each generation adds a bit more insight or perspective. Just as we mature … our traditions and personal rituals also must mature.
We are clearly in one of those moments now. Families have had to come together in new ways. Work and school has also changed. While this new reality has taken us away from some of the ego distractions and perceived necessities that were making us feel too busy and overwhelmed, we have now come into a new rhythm and “Perhaps” a better alignment and balance with what is really necessary and important. Time will tell whether this change is going to help us evolve into a better society.

The Moon finishes up in Libra and goes into Scorpio while you are deeply asleep. You awaken, revived and passionate in a sort of intense way. Notice those edges and remember to stay kind.
There is a Sun and Neptune aspect that activates a desire to help. Know that a little understanding goes a long way. Know that you smile can inspire many to have confidence to keep going just when they need it.
Be gracious and grateful because everyone needs a break from all the demands.
As adults say to children, “Use your words!”
We need civil discourse, exploration of values, in-depth dialogues. We need to not focus any more on the past. If someone brings up any historical events to try to explain this moment, tell them they are not seeing this moment in time in its uniqueness. Those that live in the past will refuse to adapt to the future unfolding.

When people are miserable enough they will bring their mental, emotional, and spiritual focus to this moment and together from that place all of us can successfully move forward.

When you are climbing a cliff, you do not pay attention to looking down and where you have been. You might occasionally look up to where you are going and to strategize your next move but you must stay fully focused in the moment. Without that total and complete attention to the now ….. you will make mistakes and potentially fall.

It is stunning how our inability to let go of the past makes us overlay past dysfunctional patterns on present situations.
But all that succeeds at doing is continuing past patterns that usually did not give you the outcome you completely wanted anyway. And it does not allow you to learn the essential lessons of adaptation.
That is why we change.
That is why we play earth games such as rock climbing. We need to be challenged in the physical world. We need to be pushed past our comfort zones to teach us how to stay in the moment. If you have never let nature challenge you by putting you completely at an edge where your fear wants to overtake your ability to think….then you have never been faced with that decision to recognize that the fear is something from your past. That fear is not really usually real. When you finally understand that what you fear is made up by your mind and the worst case scenario rarely manifests, then you can make a more conscious choice to pay attention to the here and now. You cannot keep going forward if you allow your past to constantly remind you of your fears and incompletions. You cannot learn to bring all your awareness into this precious moment if you constantly compare now to history. Once again, immature minds do this to stop you from taking risks. But life is about risk. Life requires you to step past your …. Past. Life requires you to adapt in the moment.
Besides, if you are living in the now, you might be able to let go of all that fear.
