Choose to slow down and remember what YOU desire...

The end of the month starts with Mercury retrograde

-June 29 till July 27-

Mercury in Cancer: expressing yourself in an emotional

and empathic way, intuitive and sensitive or

-if not balanced yet-

in a emotional and critical way...

Cancer is the sign of family:

how do you talk to each other,

are you 'afraid' to address topics?

Are you judging and critical and......

how do you talk and communicate towards yourself?

Jupiter, the planet of healing goes into Leo:

it is about YOU.....

If you feel you have to proof something

and be fierce, you most likely are looking at an old wound...

Leo is like the Sun: it 'just' shines......

Most likely you will see energy of 'unhealed' leaders,

perhaps you recognize something in yourself....

I hope they/we/I .....will use the mercury retrograde period

to look inside and heal.

So, instead of reacting in a bossy, unhealed use of power.....

we respond in a calm, honest and determent way.

And then.....July 3th,

Uranus and Mars are connecting......

We already saw this energy in nature:

 a huge earthquake......

Can we use Uranus in a mature way in our own live?

Start new, communicate in a respectful way,

and stand up for what we believe in?

Or do we need something disruptive

to change?

Where in your life do you need to make changes?

Where in your life do you feel you are not doing

what is best for you?

Where in your live are you doing what you believe

'they' expect you to do and did you forget about you?

Did you look at your life cycle plan lately?

How do you feel when you close your eyes

and you are already there?

Pluto in Aquarius....the last fixed sign....

 

Fixed signs and trauma.

Fixed signs like to hold on to what was.....

even if it is not good for them....

Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo and Aquarius.

Taurus likes to hold on to money, safety, material things,

Leo on 'leadership', standing in the spotlights,

Scorpio on deepest emotions, passion

and Aquarius on 'our people', being rebellious.

-I just mention some of the talents/challenges of these signs ;-)-

Now Pluto is in the last fixed sign, Aquarius.

Pluto's energy is of transformation, of total change

AND.....in a fixed sign,

 the resistance of change

is about unhealed trauma.

As I wrote before, Pluto is retrograde

and is 'asking' us to dig deep inside ourselves....

Most likely your conscious mind 'want to',

only.... 

the subconscious 'speaks' louder.

Our inner part doesn't want to feel the pain.....

it doesn't 'know' we are not that child anymore

it only remembers that not going there 

will keep you feel safe from this 'pain'....

You found a way to deal with it...to protect yourself,

to feel part of the group......

and 'forgot' that it is about YOU,

YOU, with your unique talent and gift.....

So we hear people talking about:

'Our land'

'Our people'

'Our group'

'Our family'

We like to belong to a group, 

to belong to 'a tripe'.....

If we have something in common,

 we will be recognized,

loved, accepted and respected.

We don't have to deal with our wound:

we already are part of likeminded people.....

so: 'Why go through this pain of healing?!?'

Could it be because part of you

can not believe that you can

AND be part of the group

AND be unique, talented, special,

authentic?

What is the energy of Pluto in Aquarius 

asking of us?

It helps us to open the door to this wounded child......

It helps us by giving us opportunity's......

It helps us....it doesn't punish us.....

What if we all could decide that even though we believe 

that what we think is the best thing, it could also be different.... 

Perhaps we are blindsided.......

Just this......

Just to be open 

instead of defending your believes.

Just respecting and communicating,

so you hear what others say.......

Perhaps it will give you insight you didn't have before....

Live everyday the fullest,

Find at least 3 things that makes you grateful,

remember 'we are all One':

if you don't like what you see in the mirror of live,

choose to change YOU.

The last time Pluto was in a fixed sign

was from 1984 till 1995.

It was in Scorpio,

a deep emotional sign,

passion, sexuality.

We wanted to hold on to what

we 'thought' what was right,

only ....was it?

Choose to look back and see how far you came,

be grateful for all you did and remember:

You are on an ongoing path.....

a spiral one....

letting go a bit more every time,

Every time a little bit more,

so it is not to scary for that unhealed part in us.

A bit more, so more light and love can come is

and we will remember again how

special and unique we all are....

The poppy: symbol of transformation, hope....

 

Today it would have been my dad's 100 birthday.

These flowers are 'his flower'.......

on his birthday they were always blooming.

Poppy's, 

the symbol of peace, hope,

'there is light at the end of the tunnel'.

It is a very strong flower, it doesn't need a lot

and it blooms only a few days.

It comes back every year and gives comfort.

For me it shows that life goes on,

we learn, we grow, we shine, 

we let go and will shine again.

One of his granddaughters give birth to a son.....new life.

Others go through a period of letting go.....

others of taking a next step.

AND....

we all learn, move on, step by step.

Not all of his offspring,

see and talk to each other anymore.

We had to learn to detach, respect

and.....start to love ourselves first.

I realise that attachment is looking for something outside.

Most of the time because we are 'afraid' of our own power.

Afraid to stand up for ourselves,

afraid not to be loved 

if we do something the other doesn't agree on.

We use 'stuff', 'outside appearances', emotions,

to show the outside world

who we are, that we 'are ok'.....

Mot realising we are not the outside world,

we are who we are....ourselves.....

Pluto in Aquarius want us to be unique 

in a group/family/society.

Using our unique quality to help others 

who don't have this unique quality,

also realising that they have an unique quality we need

 and don't have ourselves....

How come we still need labels,

how come we still can not see people as unique.....

Why are we 'afraid' of people who show their uniqueness/their talent.

Why are we 'afraid' of refugees,

 'Muslims', 'Jews', 'Gays'

Why do we need labels like: ADHD,

'in the spectrum', 'disabled'.........

When I asked my dad: 'Why history, it is from the past!'

He said: 'So we can learn from it and do it different'......

Did we learn, let go and bloom, like the poppy 

or do we repeat the old pattern....

Then 'Against Jews' and now 'Against refuges/Muslims'....

Still looking for a group to be against,

instead of looking inside at our fear,

deal with it and find our peace inside

so we see each other as souls.....

Individuals with unique quality

who like to share and.......

live from love and peace....

Do you label in your family?

Can you see each other as a unique person

or are there emotions,

is their judging involved.....?

Can you be open and honest,

respect and forgive or do you feel 

you have to be 'on your guard'.....

With Pluto retrograde is the time

to go inside and check.......

If you choose to do this,

you will help society......

'We are all One'.

Or.....you can go on blaming 'someone':

a group, government, a country, a leader.......

Let's choose to be a compassionate, loving,

patient leader towards ourselves first.
