Can you 'Be the change you want to see in this world'?
The last months
Thursday 20 April 2023
Freedom
Freedom for everybody
needs boundaries so everybody
will get a part......
How is it in our lives?
Do we believe we deserve everything we like,
or do we believe it is only for others?
Do we believe we can take what we want
and how we want it
or do we realise we are part of society
and need to be respectful of others as well:
'we are all One'.
There will be a new Moon on the 20th
and Mercury will move retrograde the 21st....
Pluto is connected and also Venus and Saturn:
can we transform or....
do we listen to quilt and shame
and forget to take our own responsibility.
Do we Know what we like or do we follow others,
believing that 'they know what is most important'.....
Do we take the time to go inside to
re-think, re-invest, re-visit.....
take the time to change, let goand.....start new....
Remembering that there is enough for everyone,
everyone is unique
and our birthright is 'abundance'.
Let's start 'small':
in our own lives.....
How do you treat yourself?
Do you give yourself what you need
or are you withholding or being stubborn..
-Mercury in Taurus-
Do you give yourself 'good' food or lot's of food
Rest and relaxation or working hard for 'later'
Do you take quality time with the people you love,
or do you want the whole world involved -social media-
Do you take quality time with the most important person,
you....or are others more important....
How is it with me?
I know I do a lot of things right
and....
I also know I could do things better:
I don't take so much time for walking....
something I love to do, only.....
'other things are more important'
Is that true?
I am eating healthy most of the time,
but sometimes I don't like to take the effort to do it....
Why? Am I to strict or am I sabotaging?
I like to connect with people
and....
sometimes I forget to connect with myself.....
I also can be very strict and judgemental towards myself:
I started guitar lessons and realise
I don't have a lot of patience with myself....
When I was talking not so nice to myself the other day
Jaap commented.....
I started smiling: 'practice what you preach' ;-)
How is it with you?
We are in the shadow of Mercury now and
between April 21 and May 15 it goes retrograde.
I am sure we will see the shadow of Taurus in this period:
misunderstanding in relationships,
with ourselves,
with money, with feeling safe.
Do we take responsibility
or do we blame and judge.....
-my guitar teacher send me a message: he is sick,
his voice -Taurus- and.....he is a performance on the 21st.....
Am I still practicing or do I choose to 'take it easy'-
I also was invited for a reunion of one of the classes I taught
about 40 years ago.....
Most of the time I wasn't in Holland when there was a reunion,
this time I could attend and....old emotions came up....
Most likely because there is/was still 'something' that needs
dealing with/heal/accept from my past.....
-Pluto in Aquarius-
Could I be me AND part of the group?
I could :-)!
I could AND I know there is more healing to do
especially with people who had authority then....
Now I realise that insecurity has many faces:
some talk like leaders but don't act like one....
In an old setting like this reunion,
I almost fell for it like old times.....almost ;-)
How is it in your family,
with your friends,
in your relationship?
Are there mirrors you choose to look into
so YOU can decide to change
and feel peace, calm and safe
or do you still want the mirrors to change....
I saw some old colleagues at an invent
the day after the reunion and
-while writing this blog-
realise that I moved on and that felt good!
If you feel free and you know how it was to be 'stuck' in the past,
you see and feel it in others who are not free....yet.
You will respect others.
You will make sure to set boundaries,
not taking 'the odd part of the pie'
but you will take it in such a way
that there is enough for everyone.
You will be leading by example.....
- one of the children then, went into teaching,
'I copied what you did then for me and others.
We all loved it so much and now
I do the same for my students!'-
I don't like the word 'Fools'.....
it is not accurate......
Realise that not a fool but a wounded part is reacting like this.
If you are wounded you react and instead of being free,
it will imprison you....
Pluto in this eclipse is helping us to heal, to transform,
if we don't do it ourselves we will get help.....
only.....not always in the way we would like....
Always remember:
you are much more powerful than you realise!

Challenges
We, human being,
have a way to stay in our comfort zone.....
to like balance to see as a fixed point....
Balance is like an old fashion scale:
always moving a bit....
If you are to much on one site it is total out of balance
but most of the time we have no idea we are out of balance...
That is when we don't feel sick but also not 100% healthy,
that we are not 100% unhappy, but also not 100 % happy.
We realise we are not in balance when something happens
and mirrors us:
we are hurt, get sick and/or react emotional,
instead of responding.
With Easter we had a full house:
kids, grandkids were visiting
some needed to work, others didn't
and we enjoyed being together
AND not everything was balanced.....
I know I 'only' have to take care of my own balance,
but....knowing and feeling are two different things ;-)
When they left I started to sneeze and got a cold.....
How did I set my boundaries?
Did old mind sets came up again?
Am I still holding on to old, outdated habits
that are not good for me anymore?
Do I take action or....do I blame......
Do I like to control or.....do I trust......
Pluto in Aquarius:
can we be equal, can we be the leader in our own life,
can we speak up from love instead of our unhealed emotions.
Can we follow our intuition or do we need to do what is expected of us....
Can we respect the other persons view.
Saturn in Pisces:
can we trust or do we play the victim roll....
do we take loving action or are we playing the roll of 'martyr'.....
Are we already in balance
or do we believe we are
and is one of the scales
in a dangerous position:
almost tipping......
Do you want others to change or the situation to change
or
do you remember there can only be change
if YOU change....
We are all energy, and everything is connected.
There is no good or bad,
it 'just is'.....
You also will keep attracting the same situations
in different jobs, different country's until you learn the lesson.
We lived in different country's and when we came back to Holland
I was not the same person I was when I left:
could I be myself coming back to 'the same' country/energy?
I didn't like to go back...only...it was needed for my growth....
Most of the time, when you meet challenges,
it is because it is time to take a next step.
You are in a comfort zone and it feels good
only.....you don't take action to grow and heal...
In life everything grows or dies....
and I believe we all want -our souls wants-
to live and grow...
Do we want to deal with our fear,
do we want to deal with our grief,
do we want to deal with pain?
I believe no one wants to......
but we can not avoid these emotions....
Our souls 'want' to help us,
help us to feel unconditionally love,
so we will attract what we need.....
even though we don't always like what we attract....
Can you use the energy of Saturn in Pisces
to accept and trust AND be compassionate?
Can you use the energy of Pluto in Aquarius
to KNOW we are all unique and connected
and we need each other?
I hope you can and.....I hope you choose to....
Lot's of people face challenges at the moment,
it is good to let them know they are not alone.
