For the week of August 17 – 23, 2020
We’re heading into an extremely powerful initiation this week, a new beginning of the highest order that requires the courage of a lion and the relentless commitment of unconditional Love. This week’s Leo New Moon is an activation point for the upcoming Mars retrograde passage, highlighting the journey of awakening that’s manifesting within all of us, from the inside out.
Mars has already entered his retrograde shadow, and the themes are set in motion. The 1st of 3 Mars Eris conjunctions coincides with the Leo New Moon event this week, and we can feel the intensity within our own skin. That intensity sparks a necessary friction, facilitating the shedding of old skin, in order to reveal and embody our divine Light – unconditionally and unapologetically. The Sun is the most powerful archetype of unconditional and unapologetic presence of Light, generating abundant vital life force energy for All. The Sun doesn’t have to try to make a difference, it doesn’t have to muster up the energy to go out and make something happen…it simply shines because that’s it’s authentic nature, by divine design.
When each of us awakens our authentic nature, becoming our divine radiance of Light, we embody that expression in all that we do. We generate vital life force energy by following our heart, and honoring our nature. The greatest service we can offer humanity and the planet is to get out of our own way and simply shine bright, as the undiluted consciousness of our awakened heart. When we get in our own way, we cover ourselves up, guard and protect, or censor and edit, and we actually dilute, and sometimes distort, our greatest contribution. We often think of ego patterns as feeling self indulgent, putting ourselves in the spotlight and pushing our agenda…however ego patterns also include the need to censor, striving to be perfect, holding back our authentic power, or hiding/disappearing when we feel vulnerable.
The ego’s commitment to survival and protection has served a purpose in our evolution, however we must let go of those mechanisms in order to release and reveal the Truth. This upcoming passage and new cycle requires us to walk the planet with an open heart, which takes courage, relentless commitment, and the highest devotion of mindfulness. We must become warriors within our Selves by noticing the times we get triggered, the times we shut down, disconnect, or pull back. We must learn how to remain open instead of contracting, even when our deepest wounds get triggered. It takes courage to be so aware of our inner mechanism of survival and fear, and to choose Love unconditionally as our default setting. We’ve been conditioned to guard our hearts, and yet our hearts are the very source of vitality, clarity, and power that’s needed on the planet right now.
