A beautiful cardinal cross opened up a heavenly window this morning.
The vertical axis (MC/IC) runs from 3 degree Cancer to 3 degree Capricorn, and the horizontal axis (Asc./Desc.) runs from 3 degrees Libra to 3 degrees Aries.
The quality involved here is cardinal, and the cardinal energy is a powerful leadership type. It reveals to us that the way forward is not to be molded by our environment, but to impose ourselves on the world around us.
This comes at a perfect time for those of us who are worrying about our place in life. Get involved, and go! Don’t worry about pushing or rushing the people around you. Why should you go without, sabotage yourself, or walk on eggshells?
Life is interesting and it can be a wonderful adventure if that’s what we decide to make it. Complacence and comfort aren’t good because there’s no growth involved. If you decide not to move from your current location, you’ll be in the exact same position twenty or thirty years from now. I was watching an old episode of the painter, Bob Ross, and while he was deciding what to paint into his picture, he turned to the camera and said, “Just make a decision, don’t worry about anything else.”
Just make a decision, and have faith that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to. This is reinforced by the position of the IC on the 3rd degree of Capricorn. At the deepest and most personal portion of the chart, we see a soul yearning for real experience. The evolution of the soul’s consciousness comes through challenging experiences.
Libra is ruled by Venus, and Libra’s position on the ascendant is promising us a new day in which everything changed. We’re seeking harmony, balance, and beauty in life, and the S.S. tells us that we need to blaze a path through life that enables each personal characteristic of self-hood to emerge and shine out.
Because Libra is on the ascendant, Venus rules the chart. Venus is in the 12th House on the 21st degree of Virgo reminding us to be receptive to collective forces.
Sometimes we get so caught up in silly competition and proving a point that we lose sight of the bigger picture. The energy of those around us is important, and while we shouldn’t let that energy prevent us from living our lives, we can still use it as guide. It’s not a secret that life has a vibe to it, and if we decide keep the flow then things should be easy.
Venus (Isis), is the Goddess of love and beauty, and the 12th House is a karmic house. This reading is about balance and harmony so it’s time to stop the suffering. The world is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people, but you’re not going to get that reflection of the world if you’re in a dark place.
Final note: It’s time to seek new experiences, the kind that can bring harmony and balance into our lives. It’s a new day, leave the past in the past. Focus on being here now in the moment. Venus in the 12th House reminds us that we eventually receive our due, weather it’s punishment or rewards, so, if you put good out, then you’ll get good back. If you’re incapable of putting good out because your life lacks harmony, then you need to blaze a trail, and create new opportunities for yourself. Having money and working is important, but money alone will not give the soul what it needs right now.
Think about planting a flower seed. You can plant that seed anywhere you want, but if the environment isn’t conducive for growth, you’ll have nothing to reap. You need good soil, sunlight, water, and the right temperature. Your life is the seed that can blossom into something beautiful, and as long as you’re in the proper environment, it will.
