Numerology/Astrology for 4/23/18

4/23/18 is the number 2. The duality in the world continues to polarize and while that is the only way to eventually come back to balance, the splitting of the world magnified by the number 2 can be highly destructive also. Do your best to not get into it with others. Each person is on their own journey and will discover the lessons that are relevant for their expansion at the time that is best suited for each of them. You cannot help people out of their own confirmation bias. Each of us will fall into this trap again and again until we learn how to stay aware of that potential that is human nature and follow the course to simply do what is right. When we as a species see that questioning is not a weakness and that allowing all the information in equally is the more conscious and enlightened path, then this world will begin to heal.

Astrology Today

Earth Day is Sunday, and Pluto turned retrograde until September 30th. All the planets go retrograde at certain times, but those transitions moments are often felt more strongly. Take a moment to look at what it is that you need to let go of and consciously embody that releasing process with compassion and consciousness. Notice if what you are releasing is something that someone else could use. The Moon in Leo gives you a more outgoing, confident edge. Be generous and expressive. Let that warm-hearted quality infuse your life with light and love. The Moon squares Jupiter this evening. So do your best to not over-indulge and eat all the ice cream. There is a Mars-Jupiter sextile, that will be exact early tomorrow, inspiring you to make a decision and to take action. Decisive action will seem smoother and easier. You feel more courageous and energetic than usual, so direct that energy in a conscious and constructive way. You might be feeling a bit more competitive so let that side out for some air and let it help you move past your fear. There is more confidence and clarity that is possible today. Use it wisely.

Excerpt from James Comey’s Book, “A Higher Truth”. Page 104

“They were driven by one of the most powerful and disconcerting forces in human nature – confirmation bias. Our brains have evolved to crave information consistent with what we already believe. We seek out and focus on facts and arguments that support our beliefs. More worrisome, when we are trapped in confirmation bias, we may not consciously perceive facts that challenge us, that are inconsistent with what we have already concluded. In a complicated, changing, and integrated world, our confirmation bias makes us very difficult people. We simply can’t change our minds.

But there is more to it than biology. The president (George Bush), the vice president (Dick Cheney), and those around them also labored under our political culture, where uncertainty is intolerable, where doubt is derided as weakness. Then and now leaders feel a special pressure to be certain, a pressure that reinforces their natural confirmation bias.

Of course, in a healthy organization, doubt is not a weakness, it is wisdom, because people are at their most dangerous when they are certain that their cause is just and their facts are right.”
