Notes on the Week Ahead

“You are not the oil, you are not the air – merely the point of combustion, the flash point where the light is born.” Dag Hammarskjold
 
This week has several interesting aspects. As the Sun moves up to square the Lunar Nodes the time is right for making an important decision. There is extra support from the universe in identifying and moving beyond habitual patterns  – of a karmic or ancestral nature – that can impede your efforts to move in a desired direction.
There is a high vibration of inspiration and energy that can be accessed this week. With the Nodes in Pisces and Virgo it bodes well to create a pragmatic path to ground the vision.
This time of year is akin to Persephone’s journey through the underworld – walking through the darkness. Carl Jung wrote that the yearning for light is the yearning for consciousness.  It bodes well to keep the inner fires burning brightly as we head towards the Return of the Light – the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere- on December 21.

Venus Enters Scorpio

“I have been acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain – and back in rain.
I have out walked the furthest city light…
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right
I have been acquainted with the night.” Robert Frost

Venus is in the sign of Scorpio now making this a time of increased darkness and the deeper mysteries. It is a good time to get in touch with what you feel passionate about in your life.

The sign of Scorpio and its ruler, Pluto are both associated with catharsis – the periodic need to acknowledge and process pain, disappointment and disillusionment in order to move forward in a clearer,  less encumbered direction.
One of the Sabian symbols associated with Venus’s ingress into Scorpio is, ” A bottle of spilled perfume,” a reference to disillusionment or dreams gone awry.
Scorpio is the sign of  death and rebirth and is a reminder that dreams can be born anew in a new form.
