The New Mercury

Stephanie Azaria & Shelly LealCosmic Consciousness Corner

Classically, Mercury is the archetype that relates to our capacity to think, to use our intelligence, to communicate and to connect with the outer world. He has long been the dispositor of the lower mind, which has been the main source of our thinking process since the beginning of time. According to Nick Fiorenza, “Mercury provides the ability for mental focus and concentration, even telepathy and telekinesis.” In 3D it is associated with agility, changeability and dexterity, as well as the tendency toward mercurial or changing thought and expression.  Mercury is the innermost planet in our solar system. As such, it is closest to the Sun, which represents our consciousness. Immediately we can comprehend why it is so difficult to separate the mind and its thoughts from our consciousness.  
The smallest planet in the solar system, Mercury is only slightly larger than Earth’s Moon. 
Mercury is the second densest planet after Earth, with a huge core that comprises about 75 percent of its own diameter. In comparison, Mercury’s outer shell is only 300 to 400 miles thick. The combination of its massive core and abundance of volatile elements has left scientists puzzled for years. Mercury is completely gray in color, like the grey matter of the mind, and it has no moons. 
The first recorded observation of Mercury was made by Timocharis in 265 BC. Other early astronomers that studied Mercury include Zupus (1639), who studied the planet’s orbit. The Sumerians also knew of Mercury since at least 5,000 years ago. It was often associated with Nabu, the god of writing. But in the 4th century BCE, ancient astronomers decided to call the tiny planet Hermes; it became Mercury with the Romans. 
Like Venus, Mercury has a morning and evening identity, because it is so close to the Sun. Sometimes it can be seen for a short time just after sunset. Sometimes it is visible for a few moments before sunrise. The Sumerians had different names for these two different identities of Mercury: Hermes for the evening star and Apollo for the morning. But around 500 BC, the Romans gave it only one name, Mercury. It has also been known as the Great Messenger, the Winged One, the Trickster and the Magician. 
Mercury typically moves faster than the Sun– in fact, it is the only planet that does. (Obviously, the Sun doesn’t really move from our perspective, but it appears to move about a degree a day, because the Earth moves at that rate.) Mercury makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Mercury time) in just 88 Earth days.
The concept of time is very different on Mercury. It defies what we know about planetary orbits. It takes Mercury 59 Earth days to rotate once on its own axis, and it takes 3 of those rotations to produce one day/night cycle on the planet– the equivalent of 176 Earth days. It takes Mercury 88 days to circle the Sun once, and it takes 2 of these orbits to complete one day/night cycle.  For every 2 orbits around the Sun, Mercury completes 3 rotations of its axis. This rotation is unique to the solar system and it is gravitationally locked. All of this very strange rotation and orbital resonance produces various sunrises and sunsets on the planet in one Mercurial day/night. Let that be a revelation as to why it is so difficult to grasp the way the mind works and how it is related to our consciousness. 
This strange orbital procedure also produces Mercury’s multiple retrograde cycles during the course of one Earth year. Mercury can change signs as often as twice a month, or it can remain in one sign during a retrograde cycle for nearly two months. When Mercury retrogrades, he often moves back and forth between two signs. 
Mercury goes retrograde every four months for three weeks, and each time he does, he comes into an inferior conjunction with the Sun, right in the middle of his retrograde journey. It is called inferior, because he is in between the Earth and the Sun. When Mercury moves direct, he produces a superior conjunction with the Sun, when he passes the Earth from the other side of the Sun. Mercury is the only planet in our solar system that conjoins with the Sun 6 times a year. As a result, he does not produce new cycles the way the other planets do. A new Mercury cycle occurs after he retrogrades and then recovers those degrees, which are known as his shadow; each time beginning  another chapter of communication and connection. 
Two spacecraft have visited the planet Mercury so far. The first, Mariner 10, flew by Mercury three times and mapped about half of the planet’s surface between 1974-75. Mariner 10 also discovered Mercury’s thin atmosphere and detected its magnetic field. More recently, Messenger went into orbit around Mercury in 2011, and completed mapping of 100% of Mercury’s surface in 2013. In addition, BepiColombo, a joint mission of the European Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency  launched in October 2018. It consists of 2 satellites launched together (the Mercury Planetary Orbiter and Mio), and it is scheduled to arrive at  Mercury in 2025.
The mythology that is associated with any planet represents the stories that have been handed down since the beginning of time. In many ways, the symbols depicted are closer to the Truth than any reality we think we comprehend today. Myths should be honored as such… as opportunities to glimpse the Truth. But they only work when we recognize that they represent symbols:  that each “god” is indicative of some power or force, and that all relationships described are also expressing the essence of the subject. For example, the 3D story of Mercury as the son of Jupiter and Maia represents the special combination of knowledge and wisdom that comes from Jupiter and the propensity toward illusion and the illusive that Maia represents. The 5D story says that all planets in our solar system–all the way out to Saturn– are the offspring of Uranus, Father of the Heavens, and Gaia, the Earth. In fact, Uranus is the partner of Gaia and her son as well. 
Mercury is known for escorting the dead to the underworld, and as such he has a very special relationship with Pluto, Gatekeeper to that invisible realm. He also has significant connections with Ceres, Goddess of the Harvest (and mother of Pluto’s Lover, Persephone), as well as with the newly named Plutino planets, all guardians of the realm beyond. 
According to the Cosmic Consciousness system, Mercury represents our mental operating system, and gives the Mental Body its disposition. In classical (3D) astrology Mercury has been known as the Great Messenger, presiding over all forms of communication and connection… and as long as we are in physical form, those applications remain meaningful. Mercury has domain over both the lower mind, with its intellectual nature — and the higher mind, which is stimulated by the Light of the spiritual Self.  As the Messenger archetype, Mercury is associated with thoughts, ideas, writing, talking, messages, information, logic and reasoning, and all forms of connection. He also disposes the Great Observer mode in each of us: the part of the mind that connects with the inner guidance mechanism and helps to produce an integrated mind/heart balance that ultimately raises consciousness and produces ascension. 
As mentioned before, Mercury’s proximity to the Sun means that the lower mind has a tendency to get in the way of our consciousness. Mercury has a special relationship with both Uranus and Quaoar, in that each of those archetypes assists the mental process in its upgrade. Uranus, the Great Awakener, helps us to make use of Mercury in a far more objective observer mode, and encourages us to let go of the judgments and personal biases that have kept us stuck in limiting beliefs for so long. As the higher octave of Mercury, Uranus keeps us occupied with mental expansion until we’re ready to perceive the Truth, which is that all we see is our own projection. 
During the course of the last 20 or 30 years, the mind and our conscious awareness have been expanding steadily. The lower mind has given rise to the higher Mind, and as we awaken, we learn to rely on a newer, Love-infused way of connecting with the outer world, rather than the more habitual fact-based, linear way of interacting that we have been working with for millennia.  
Once Self-realized, Quaoar becomes a very significant archetype in helping us to think outside the box, coming up with realizations that don’t originate in the mind, but from the vastness of the universal Mind. Eventually we realize that the box itself does not exist. We learn from this connection that a new solution to any problem can never come from the place where the original issue was born. A Mercury/Quaoar presence delivers us from the constraints of the lower fear-based mind once and for all. 
When Mercury connects with a 5D archetype, his higher expressions are more prevalent; when he connects with a planet in our ‘inner’ solar system he functions at the more familiar level. In Truth, Mercury functions on all dimensions all the time, and it remains for us to become fully conscious of this archetype’s presence whenever we interact with the outer world.
Mercury and Mars are two very personal archetypes that have been through a great deal of transmutation during the past few years. The energies of  Mercury and Mars have effectively switched places, Mercury becoming the true male archetype, clearing up eons of confusion about what male energy actually is. Mars is now free of all the limitations that the need to be a powerful masculine god of war once placed on it. Now it represents the right action that results when the Mind and Heart are properly aligned within the physical body.  
Mercury’s energies function at a much higher frequency than ever before. At this more conscious level, he is no longer about ‘understanding’ anything– he is all about putting your heart into it and being willing to feel the event you are moving through. It is this essential Mind/Heart connection that produces ascension in each of us.
Mercury disposes Gemini, the sign of Mental Wisdom, where we learn to think with the heart. Gemini, once known as mutable, is a wisdom sign. It is where we learn to become aware of what motivates our thoughts and actions, and let Love become the sole motivating factor. By consciously aligning Mind with Heart we learn to consciously speak our Truth. 
Mercury can no longer be used the way we used to use it. He represents the higher Mind now, the Christed Self, the Realized Self. The Mind and Heart must work together, in as balanced a way as possible, if the Truth is to be accessed.
We don’t yet Know what the Truth is, not here in the physical realm. Yet we all carry that Truth in our hearts, and whenever we catch a glimpse of it, we know it, we remember it, and there is not one shred of doubt.

Sagittarius in 5D

Symbol: The Truth Seeker

Mantra: I AM TRIUMPHANT

Affirmation: I AM Courageous

Quality: Highest Victory

Etheric Body: Physical Wisdom

Main Archetype: Jupiter

Chakra: Throat

Element: Fire (Bonfire)

 

11 o’clock hour

 

Main Purpose: Where you resolve the habits that keep you from evolving. 

Sagittarius has long been known as “The Archer,” a centaur – half human, half animal –  seeking to understand what life is all about. Sagittarius is a fire sign, filled with spirit and endless enthusiasm. Its energy is uplifting, clearing and triumphant, with a fiery touch. The archer travels all over the world, always with a bow in hand, an arrow loaded and seeking to make contact with Source. Sagittarius can be religious, highly educated, spiritual, culturally adept, and well-traveled. This is because the Sagittarius soul will stop at nothing to learn more about the meaning of life on Earth.

Sagittarius does not like to have its freedom stifled in any way. You are often taken by the desire to get up and go somewhere you’ve never been before. You may indulge your wanderlust by traveling physically, or reading a book about something new, or having an emotional adventure you’ve never had;  anything to get to a new experience and learn something you didn’t know. The danger is that knowledge can lead you to believe you know everything, even when it is inherent in your nature to realize there’s so much to learn.
 
But as you awaken and become Self-aware, you begin to realize it’s not really about the adventure, but it’s the Truth you’re after.  In its ultimate sense, the Truth is something that is arrived at only after a series of trials and tribulations that eventually deliver you to what really matters to you in your heart.  The awakened Sagittarius is known as The Truth-Seeker in the Cosmic Consciousness system. If you’re born under this sign, you’ll stop at nothing to get at the Truth, once you realize its importance to you. Jupiter is the dispositor of Sagittarius, always lending its wisdom and largesse, consciousness and growth to any situation. 

Sagittarius is the sign of Physical Wisdom.  The physical existence is a socio/spiritual experience, and once that becomes recognizable the physical realm is triumphed over, (which is Sagittarius’s purpose). The ego can be overcome and the spirit emerges victorious when we recognize the true nature of our physicality.

Our physicality is a projection, made out of beliefs and emotions, and most importantly, out of the way in which we focus our consciousness. When we focus through fear and the ‘local’ consciousness, we keep recreating the past, and we live on the loop that we recognize as the wheel of life. When we focus on the non local, when we ‘altar’ our thoughts to focus on the higher Self, we are fully present in the NOW, and the new world is created. The age old battle between lower and higher Self is fought and won here. It’s an inner battle, as is everything else in this world.

The Sagittarian experience always comprises the end of a major evolutionary cycle and the beginning of another. Karma, the result of past fear-based actions, is cleared here. This is where you face the lower self, get out of your own way,  and finish the game. Your soul learns to overcome any habit that has been destructive here. Eventually your spirit triumphs over your ego. This is the true meaning of the centaur’s dual physicality: Your higher human Self combines with your lower primal self and the spirit emerges victorious.

In Cosmic Consciousness Sagittarius is the sign of Highest Victory. That sounds glorious, but the reality is much more mundane. When you reach the 11th hour you are asked to deal with all the physical evidence that your fears and other misqualified reactions have brought forth during the course of your lifetime. This is the final aspect of consciousness in your energy field, after which you spiral up to the next go-around. Hopefully you spiral up, but you can only do so if you have successfully cleared the issues that prevent the expression of the higher Self.  Surrender is a prerequisite here. Time collapses and you find your Self in the moment, with the one choice that is truly yours to make: Love or Fear. This is the sign of Physical Wisdom, which implies that you have literally been around the block a time or two and you know just what to do here: Face the devil and finish the game… the ego’s game that is. Here the archer becomes the Truth–Seeker, moving from shooting in the dark to knowing exactly what the target is.  

Sagittarius has always been a sign of consciousness, and here in the 11 o’clock hour that reality is put to task. The symbol for Sagittarian fire is the bonfire.  It has a warm and inviting glow that calls anyone near it to it. It can be vibrant and burn wildiy, or it can be very contained, needing only a little more fuel to bring it back to roaring life.  But whatever form it comes in, fire is always transmutational, turning whatever it touches into spirit. 

The 11 o’clock hour corresponds to the 10th house in the birth chart. Triumph over the physical world you have created with your belief system in the 10 o’clock hour, yields the realization that by aligning with your higher Self you can create an entirely different reality. This speaks very directly to the ultimate 3D 10th house goal. It is here that your diligence can get you to the bridge that provides access  to the spiral upward instead of going around the circle again.

The Sagittarius portion of your consciousness is very much like the Sagittarius portion of the cosmos. It is full of black Holes, Centaurs, and all kinds of transformational points and bodies. It is not possible to move through the Sagittarius portion of your consciousness without getting cleared and cleansed of all you are done with and no longer need as you head for an entirely new cycle. 

The one thing you need to learn is that you can never know everything. When you access the ultimate Truth, you also realize that everyone is right and no one is wrong. You gain the capacity to move through your life bringing the higher Truths to the world, through the more grounded part of you. Your triumphs deliver you the Highest Victory, the successful conquest of the Spiritual Self over the ego, making you a walking warrior of Light.  

Wherever Sagittarius is in your birth chart, old habits  are experienced over and over again until they can be triumphed over. The adventurous archer, shooting arrows at various targets, looking for something True, becomes the dedicated Truth-seeker, who has realized  the limitations of habitual behavior and consciously moves beyond it into the new frontier. When you realize you have not surrendered to your higher purpose you have no choice but to get yourself there. If your Sun sign is Sagittarius you have chosen to spend this lifetime cleaning up your act and getting yourself to higher ground. You may even manage to spiral up off the wheel all together.

Scorpio in 5D

Stephanie Azaria & Shelly LealCosmic Consciousness Corner

 October 23 to Nov. 21

Symbol: The Alchemist

Mantra: I AM THE CREATOR

Affirmation: I AM Pure of Heart

Quality: Highest Vision

Etheric Body: Physical Love

Main Archetype: Pluto

Heart Flame: Pink (Love)

Chakra: Third Eye

Element: Water (Crater Lake)

 

10 o’clock hour

 

Main Purpose: Where you learn to lift your focus to its highest perspective and manifest your world from there. 

 


Scorpio is a water sign, which means that you go through life feeling your way. You sense whatever you need to know, about people, places, spaces, and the like, and you have the gift of being able to size things up in a split second. With your intuitive/supersensory talents, you can walk into a room filled with people, know instinctively whether you want to stay or not, and if you do, you are drawn as if by invisible energy lines to the person or persons who are most resonant with you. You’re uncanny that way.  

The 3D version of a Scorpio is known as one of three things (sometimes ALL of them, moving in and out of them like a shapeshifter). You can be a Scorpion, wielding a kind of power that can hurt others,  usually motivated by a subconscious need for control, or fear-based power. When you are not yet awake you will sting, if someone says or does something that causes you to recoil. With a little bit of conscious awareness, you can be an Eagle. You do have the great capacity to lift your vision high, soaring above the crowds, watching with that trained eye everything that’s going on in the world. You can zoom in with your focus, find your target, and swoop down to make contact. Whether your motives are kind or not is a matter of how much you Love your Self.  And finally, the most awake of the 3D Scorpio can be a Phoenix. Phoenix Scorpios experience many little deaths during the course of your lifetime. During these transformations, you move from one state to another, burning up the old form as you transition into something new. You’re a spectacle to behold, and your capacities are magical. For you, resurrection becomes a way of life, and your disposing planet, Pluto, begins to make itself known in ways you hadn’t considered before.  Pluto is the Gatekeeper to the new consciousness and the invisible realm that we all originate from. It seems important to note that Scorpio is the only sign that expresses its lower Self in three different ways, and that the number ‘three’ is the energy of manifestation.

In Cosmic Consciousness, Scorpio is the sign of Highest Vision, representing your capacity to manifest into the physical realm exactly what you are able to perceive. Physical Love speaks to our Love of the planet, and to everything you manifest into the physical world out of Love. There is also a certain degree of alchemy, that is, turning what is not love into Love. Scorpio is  where you learn to Love and respect your physicality, so that you can focus on the highest part of your Self and manifest the physical world from that perspective. It is the sign where the dark and light mingle. What is the difference between dark and light? There isn’t any, unless you want to use value judgments. They are two sides of the same coin, which, in essence means that you can’t have one without the other. They each derive their meaning from the other, and they are equally important to this world of duality, which can only exist in the physical realm.  

Right now you are experiencing the polarization of the duality you perpetuated. The way the world is now is the direct result of the way you thought about your Self for all of time. But it’s not about blame or shame. Today you have awakened to the tools you need to recreate the world, or more appropriately to create a new world. 

Scorpio is called the sign of Physical Love because it is Love that manifests everything. This can be misinterpreted in the obvious way, and sometimes is, but it actually refers to your capacity to turn anything physical (beginning with your Self) into a better version of itself, through the act of Self-Love. Scorpio is the place within your consciousness where all transmutation takes place. There is alchemy here, and plenty of it. Things start out one way and BECOME something entirely different in this part of the energy field. The more heart-centered you can be, the greater the transformation, and the more Light-infused the manifestation is. Before you had access to the higher realms, you ALWAYS used this part of your energy field to manifest the “world.” You just didn’t realize what you were doing. You were filled with fear based thoughts, or at the very least, not-so-kind thoughts, lacking self-worthiness and such, and thus you created the world you’ve been living in for thousands of years. 

Scorpio has always been a sign of ‘vision,’ whether sensory or intuitive, and with an awakened consciousness the symbolism shifts from the Scorpion or the Eagle (or even the Phoenix) to the Alchemist. Here you come to  understand that you co-create with Source everything that you experience. Once it is understood that you are One with Source, you move from co-creator to Creator of your world. Until that awakening comes, however, it is imperative to turn yourself over to Source at all times, sacrificing your lower beliefs and desires, refining your capacity to focus on the higher Self with undiluted attention. You know how to shift your focus into your heart and consciously open it up, restoring you to the choice that yields the high road. The only way to ever change, or correct, or make right something that is made of fear is to put Love there instead. And to do it with great consciousness.

Your 5D consciousness is activated when you find those transformational powers within your Self. In the new system, Scorpio is known as the Alchemist. Those qualities you’ve expressed all your life (hopefully all three of them) eventually become your capacity to manifest something new and transformed out of lower energies. Alchemy is the capacity to turn lead into gold. You are, at the core of your being, a Creator of the highest order. 

The Scorpio quality of consciousness is very deep and alchemical. There are a lot of hidden nooks and crannies underneath the smooth exterior, and it can be cold and dark down in the deep of the emotional Self. The crater lake is one perfect example of the Scorpio hierarchy. (The signs are known as hierarchies in Cosmic Consciousness). Another great expression of Scorpio is the bubbling cauldron. Whichever one speaks to you most loudly, there is a trip to the depths of your core involved, and the journey can be somewhat uncomfortable, though certainly rewarding ultimately. 

Scorpio is the 10 o’clock hour on the cosmic clock, which corresponds to the 11th house of the birth chart. The 11th house can be thought of as the support structure in your life, and it is the place where we find our connection with humanity. Humanity is, taken collectively, the one creation of Source, and so it is here that we realize the Highest Manifestation, the capacity to create in the image of the Creator.  Manifestation is truly an alchemical process, whereby the lower attributes of your consciousness, those associated with the desires of the fear based self, are relinquished in a truly devoted surrender to the higher Self, where the highest good can be realized.
 
The one thing you need to learn is that it’s okay to be as powerful as you are. When you walk into a room the frequency of the entire space changes. You know this, consciously or not so consciously. When you do get a grip on the kind of transformational power you wield, lifting your focus to the highest observer’s perch you can access delivers you to the Truth of who you are. Aim high, ALTAR your thoughts, that is lift them higher, to find your empowered Self and make it all it can be. You are the Creator, creating out of your highest consciousness. Once you find the courage to come from the highest perch, there’s nothing you can’t manifest. 

Wherever Scorpio is in your chart you have the capacity to focus with great discipline to purify your desires and intentions,  lift your vision and ultimately become One with Source. It is from here that you can create for the highest good of all. Where Scorpio hosts your energy field, you’ll need your greatest strength and fortitude to bring about the focus necessary for alchemical purification to take place. If your Sun sign is Scorpio you have chosen this lifetime to undertake this alchemy of the soul, experiencing little deaths in order to cleanse your consciousness and fill yourself with Light. True transformation belongs to every Scorpio soul.

 

Libra in 5D

Stephanie Azaria & Shelly LealCosmic Consciousness Corner

Sept. 23 to October 23

Symbol: The Mirrored Self

Mantra: I AM That

Affirmation: I AM YOU AND YOU ARE ME

Quality: Highest Realization

Etheric Body: Physical Power

Main Archetype: Sedna 

Heart Flame: Blue (Power)

Chakra: Heart

Element: Air (Wind)

 

9 o’clock hour

 

Main Purpose: Where you experience the true relationship you have with your Self through the mirrored reflection of your relationships. 

 


Once known as ‘The Scale,’ Libra has long been represented by the only inanimate symbol of the zodiac. Libra has been called ‘the relationship sign’, with an other-oriented consciousness that places more significance on the ‘other’ than on the Self. When we don’t see our Selves clearly, the capacity for Self-realization becomes harder to achieve.  As a scale, Libra is relegated to object status. A scale sits around waiting for another to come and weigh their stuff on it. That’s what scales are for, aren’t they? Once the balancing process is done, the ‘other’ typically takes their stuff and goes, newly balanced. But Libra becomes attached, and with the ‘other’ gone, you feel unbalanced and tend to wait for another ‘other’ to come along to balance you out again. One of the greatest awakenings a Libra can have is that the calibration button on every scale is within.

Venus has long been considered Libra’s dispositing planet. But Venus is a very personal archetype, and Libra is not at all personal. Libra has been objectified for centuries, as the ‘other half,’ the lover, the quintessential partner. But the Truth is, Libra has been gifted with the most objective consciousness of the zodiac, by far. Libra is not an object, it is objective, and it could be said that the observer’s perch is first accessed here. Libra is constantly observing any situation, and eventually learns to See  with ultimate detachment and lack of judgment, because it comes to realize that it’s all a projection.  

Objectivity is a form of conscious awareness that we are all capable of.  Libra, however, is born with it, and in fact has to learn to bring some of its focus back to the Self. It is with this very broad level of consciousness that Libra can now perceive the connection between it and its new 5D planetary archetype, Sedna. Currently the outermost planet of our solar system, Sedna represents the higher capacity to remember and restore the Divine Feminine Creatrix to our consciousness. This embrace of the feminine Self brings about a true reunion of the Self, and separation is no longer the human experience. This process of the masculine/feminine reunion is just getting underway. It is the 5D meaning of relationship.

In the Cosmic Consciousness system Libra is the sign of Highest Realization. It is the first of the three signs that embraces the physical body, activating the blue power flame of the tri-fold heart chakra.  If it were not for the physical body there would be no such thing as separation and duality. Separation engenders the idea that there is a world ‘out there.’ The Highest Realization a soul can achieve is the awareness that there is nothing ‘out there,’ it is all your own reflection. The whole world, including the universe, is your own individual projection, the reflection of your own consciousness. Every relationship you ever form is your higher Self’s decision to know itself better. In Libra we move from the Scale, which measures the self with everything else, to the Mirror, which provides us with no choice but to realize the Self in everything.
 
As the sign of the “Mirrored Self,” Libra brings a sense of value and purpose to your presence. You are no longer an object there for other people’s use, but a valuable being who is capable of reflecting back the Truth to anyone who looks. Libra is the sign of Physical Power, which means that the consciousness of Libra is capable of realizing that physicality is what separates us from each other. That is the power of the physical. And with a little focused Self-realization combined with your objective awareness, you easily remember that we are all one, and no one is separate from anyone else.  With this consciousness the attachments of the ego begin to fall away, and your capacity for objective awareness becomes a very precious commodity to the awakening world.

Libra is the 9 o’clock hour on the cosmic clock, which corresponds to the 12th house of the birth chart. Since the 12th house speaks to the ways in which you sabotage yourself, and also contains your entire past within it, it is easy to see the affinity here.  This is the experience of Physical Power on the cosmic clock, where if you are not yet conscious, you experience the influence others have over you until you realize you are giving them that power. And if you are more Self-aware, you understand the gift of the physical world to offer you the experience of duality. Duality is required to experience Love. This is why you are here in physical form.

The one thing you need to learn is that you do exist and you matter as much as anyone else. When you begin to recognize your Self as the Creator of all you perceive, the “need” for the ‘other’ is replaced with a sense of fullness and completion that shines brightly for all. After all, there’s nothing like a well-lit mirror, wouldn’t you agree?

Wherever Libra is in your birth chart you have the opportunity to connect with and understand your own reflection through the relationships you attract. Here you can rediscover your Self through the mirrored reflection that allows you to look more closely at the parts of your Self you still refuse to acknowledge. The more fully you take responsibility for your own experience, the more comfortable you will be in your own skin. If your Sun sign is Libra, you are here to master the concept of the mirrored Self, allowing your authentic Self to shine through and transmute duality, and the effects of valuing others more than your Self. Every Libra is here to learn that there is nothing ‘out there’ at all.
