What is your personal treasure?
Though not an expert in Western Astrology, I feel directed lately by the Universe to some interesting constellations, which I want to share with you.
One of my first experiences with Western Astrology, was at a young age…I must have been nine or ten years of age and I could not stop reading about it. Nobody had ever told me about this ancient wisdom: it was not a point of discussion at our family’s dinner table, so to say. And I learned quickly that Astrology was one of my personal ‘secrets’ in life. After working life took over for many years, my treasures disappeared in the background. Nowadays, more and more while turning to my own personal source of energy, I go back to those early treasures of my youth, and see them as a sign to pay great attention to, especially in these, for everybody, challenging times.
By the way, what are your treasures in life, and did you pay enough attention to them?
Think of something that ’just’ appeared in your early life without further notice. Try to remember, what was initially ‘there’ and already part of YOUR (spiritual) life. These subjects should be treasured and worked with now, as they are most probably the precious gift of your earlier lifetimes that brings you back to yourself. Now, it is time to reveal those treasures to yourself, and see what real direction your ship is sailing!
March 19/20, 2020 - Equinox
Mother Earth presents us with equal hours of night and day, the perfect balance of yin and yang. This is necessary to balance ourselves, as too much light, makes us lose touch with the reality and forget which path we are walking on. Too much darkness makes us forget who we truly are, and overpowers us with materialism and our ego. With this March Equinox, we are asked to balance within ourselves and around the World.
Finding your centre, and restore the equilibrium in your mind, body and soul is the ultimate message: and how much we are forced towards this in the current times (!), with the restrictions we are experiencing! The time of materialism and ego is now being balanced by bringing us back to our homes, families and self-care and ‘going within’.
March 20, 2020 - Mars, and Jupiter align in Capricorn.
Mars (strength & action) calls us to find our strength, overcome our fears and reminds us, that we are powerful as human beings, and that we can use the fears that are overwhelming us now, to motivate us rather than let ourselves be taken down. Some samples of this, we see in the lock down countries like here in Europe, where people find a new way of communicating by singing and playing music together from their balconies or clapping and rattling their pots to show respect for nurses and doctors in hospitals.
Mars tells us where we need to create more love, balance and self-care. And Jupiter (expansion), who is doubling up the energies, reminds us that we need to focus only on our positive emotions and feelings, as those will be expanded.
Be reminded of your inner strength, wisdom, positive thoughts and healing power and encouraged to find this place within yourself. Use the Qi Planner for meditation and peace of mind and finding your personal source of energy.
March 21 till July 1st, 2020 - Saturn, the Lord of Karma enters the sign of Aquarius (the preview)
Saturn moving out of Capricorn into Aquarius brings a huge shift, towards growth and lessons, and guides us to take responsibility for our lives in a new way. We might feel that our blockages are lifted, and a new kind of freedom is entering our life. It’s all about the future, and where we are going, and what we need to do differently, to navigate a new and emerging world. It is a progressive energy, where we can leave the past behind and head into a different kind of future.
This future emphasis on community and helping each other, technology and artificial intelligence, (mental) health and different ways of living in- and with communities and finally: working for the greater good...
March 24, 2020
The New Moon in Aries is one of the best for starting new projects, manifesting and setting intentions. This is a very strong energy, as Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, and New Moon is a new start of a lunar cycle.
Chiron, planet of the wounded healer is also active now, and will remind us to think about healing, not only for ourselves and for each other, but also for Planet Earth. During our time of ignorance, especially with regards to our wellbeing, Chiron will sit with us, till we are feeling whole again. Especially during these challenging and restrictive times, Chiron will show us to take care of ourselves, to set up new routines and shows us how to find new strengths.
During this intense period of cleansing, we are directed to find ways of expressing ourselves, as our emotions need an outlet: start writing, drawing, or take a brisk walk, clean out the kitchen cabinets, rearrange the photo archive. Clear your space and clear your mind, with anything that helps to let your emotions out, or to calm down. Be creative!
With the New Moon, we are asked to deepen our connection with ourselves, with who we are and what we can do to feel better with ourselves: physically, spiritually and mentally. Be open for anything new to come, and let it into your heart rather than push for something. Be especially sensitive to the signs of the Universe!
July 1, till December 17, 2020 - Saturn retrograde in Capricorn
This is a reminder, which events of the last 2.5 years (that is about the time Saturn takes to go through a sign) shaped your life. What important things happened since 2017, for the good or for the bad.
Which life lessons did you learn from that, and how will you be coping with those lessons, for the next half year when Saturn goes back to that ‘old’ Capricorn constellation. The sooner you learn your lessons from this past time, the smoother your path will be.
December 17 till March 7, 2023 - Saturn moving into Aquarius again (‘the real movie’)
When Saturn finished its stay in Aquarius in 2023, we might be able to look back on a time of radical shifts and the way we live and love, the communities we surround ourselves with and the way we treat others.
Period 9 from 2024 - 2044.
Interestingly, the next few years look like a preparation for the starting point of Period 9 in Chinese Astrology, which we enter from 2024 – 2044, a more spiritual timing for the World.
Sending you heaps of Qi in these challenging times!
