Astrology/Numerology for 1/11/18

1/11/18 is the number 5. Keeping grounded in such tumultuous times must be an effort of love. You cannot do it from a place of trying. You must do it because your heart knows that this is the only way to find a center from which you can consciously navigate these times. Listen to your five senses and take in all the information that they are giving you so you are well informed by the physical world. While I believe in freedom for all. There are those that have not mentally and emotionally evolved to the place where they have the courage it takes nor the willingness to do the work that is necessary to maintain a free society. Freedom is not free. Freedom is a courageous act of integrated individualism and a choice to heal through kindness, mercy, invention, and resourcefulness. The focus of freedom is to attain greater stability. The number 5 recognizes that freedom is action. In the Tarot, the card that represents this number is the Hierophant. The Hierophant card is about knowing the rules of a society. And from being well informed only then can you make decisions and choices that allow for conscious change. You cannot have a free society if you have uneducated people. You cannot have a free society if people are unwilling to change their life. You cannot have a free society if you have those who only wish to complain and find fault without offering up any type of ideas or solutions. Freedom is an act of daring that is non-conventional, unpredictable, and chooses to reach beyond a pattern of behavior, willing to risk all to find a better way. Are you willing?
Mercury enters Capricorn early today, where it will transit until the 31st. While Mercury is in Capricorn, you might notice that your thinking is methodical, sobering and infinitely practical. It will be easy to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence, particularly if its usefulness is apparent. Conversations focus on the realistic side of life. Thought patterns and communication styles are more logical, orderly, and more organized. You are more able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, your speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes important. You need to be wary of becoming too rigid in your thinking under this influence. You may come across as cold or harsh. Try to not cross that line from realism into pessimism. A sharp focus could be very useful now. The Moon in Scorpio aligns with Mars and Jupiter and harmonizes with the Sun, Venus, and Pluto, making you feel braver about facing emotional issues head-on now.

There is absolutely
nothing in this world
more irresistible
than a person
who inspires
by simply wearing
their soul
on their sleeve.

I am in love with the rising sun.
This life-giving essence that awakens
and warms us into movement.
It calls to us so subtly
that with the smallest shift
into a brightening light
I awaken to the softness
of its presence.
Not unlike the touch
of a soothing hand on my face
of someone familiar.
The sun is a conscious presence
calling all things alive
to move out of the darkness
and come back into life.
To come out of slumber
and into becoming
a part of this wonderful world.
