This final week of 2012 profoundly encapsulates the human experience of needing to define oneself. That’s not surprising, given that we live in a fractal universe that reveals how we are all small parts of something bigger; and that ‘something bigger’ is also contained within something even bigger … and on and on ad infinitum.
This week’s cosmic currents reveal the struggle to be your truest self. That’s the omnipresent energy of iconoclast Uranus in I gotta be me Aries. Now mix this cultural change-making planet with the Sun in let’s just keep things the same Capricorn, and the restlessness to make something new of yourself gets somewhat mired in what will people think? For some, the pressure to conform is just too much right now while, for others, the process of ditching what drags you down may be ruthless—especially if it feels like your survival is at stake. That’s the tone set by the Sun’s annual conjunction with Pluto.
Meanwhile, warrior Mars marches into everything must change Aquarius on Tuesday, and it may be difficult to sit idly by if you feel at all rankled. If you’re unaccustomed to speaking up for yourself or others, you may feel pushed into doing so, regardless. Friday’s Full Moon in hypersensitive Cancer will bust the lid off any unspoken issues that need to be vented. Yet this lunar pop also calls for the emotional intelligence to reveal your heart’s concerns without bruising anyone in the process.
As you bravely move into your true I Am energy, it may throw other areas of your life into question: how able you are to nurture yourself without waiting to be rescued; how well your job feeds your passion; how safe you feel lighting the darker corners of your psyche; and how willing you are to make the necessary changes that awakening to yourself may demand.
All of this in one little fractal of a week. Yet, knowing that you are part of a wave that breaks onto shorelines still in the process of being re-defined may bring you the comfort of mind that we are all in this human experiment together.
