Numerology/Astrology for 4/15/17

4/15/17 is the number 11. How do we expand? We expand by taking risks and stepping beyond what we know into the unknown. But whenever there is expansion there is a recoil and contraction by the ego and the mental patterns of comfort that we have created in our life. We step beyond our reality and in moments think, “What have I done!” which creates a contraction as we attempt to move in the direction of what is familiar. But life is always about stretching out of what is familiar. You cannot grow without risk. And when you risk you do not always win. We risk because we know that there is more even if sometimes we fail in our ability to fully grasp this newness in productive ways. So, let yourself have as many new experiences as you can. Give yourself permission to try new things, new jobs, new ways of doing things, new foods, new people and friends. You might just discover that you like the new more than the old. After all wisdom is earned through experience
Thank goodness, this morning, Venus turns direct after a retrograde period that began in March. Gradually over the next few weeks, matters ruled by Venus (including love and money) will move forward in a more straightforward manner. Your confidence in yourself and the universe builds, and warmth and affection are easier to express openly. Tact and diplomacy re-emerge, and more clarity is likely to come to your love and social relationships. Today while the shift occurs, you can be confused or disoriented, however. It’s important to be patient and take your time processing all of your feelings. The Moon continues its transit of Sagittarius all day. You are more inclined to lack practicality around the Moon’s square to Neptune this morning. Otherwise, the Sagittarius Moon encourages the pursuit of freedom and truth.

Quote

If you want to kill someone with kindness,
perhaps you should start by torturing them with the truth;
that hurts a lot.

Life is always dancing with death. They are connected in this dimension of time and space. We cannot run away from either and life is always fighting to stay ahead of death just as death relentless pursues life like a lion chasing a gazelle. In life, there are many small deaths; death to the ego, death to a belief, death of a job, death of a relationship, etc. And there are the bigger deaths; death of a person in your family, death of hope, loss and death financially, etc. Whether we like it or not each of us have navigated many deaths and will continue to navigate many more. When friendships die, you have to let go and allow that other person to go on their path of their karmic journey without you. You have to accept that you cannot follow as your path leads in another direction. When a job or career dies, you have to open to a new possibility with grace and confidence in your ability to learn something new and to perhaps enjoy it. So often in life humanity seeks the illusion of fulfillment but at certain astrological times it is not about being fulfilled it is about getting through a particular cycle. We are presently in one of those times. To some it feels like a death and the loss of a dream, an ideal, and of hope and possibility itself. But you should never give up hope. You should never give up that you can and will find a doorway and a new possibility. Yet, there are moments when you must recognize a particular temperament to the world, your country, and humanity. Presently we are in a time where the world is sick. A festering imbalance has infected the wholeness and only a high heat like a temperature will kill off the infection and allow a new homeostasis to come back into balance. Just as the immune system learns with each encounter with bacteria and viruses, so too you learn from each collapse of a system. Recovery happens it will just take time. It takes time for those who harbor hidden anger and resentment to become aware that they have become a host to a toxic mix that is poisoning the entire reality. It takes even more time for them to be willing to change and let go of this toxicity to which they have become identified. Each of us have a part in this process. Even if you are not the carrier of this toxin you may have turned a blind eye to it and allowed it to spread. Avoidance still makes you complicit in the karmic dance. It is time to take responsibility. The world cannot afford to let anything slide anymore. There is too much at stake.
