Your connection with your higher Self is front and center this week, with Mars triggering a new connection with Source and setting off a very deep emotional response in you when he opposes your ruler Uranus on Wednesday. Be prepared to go very deeply to the core of your being, so that your emotional Self can open up as it is meant to now. There is not getting anywhere without feeling your feelings, which is the one thing you know how to avoid so well. There’s only so far you can go while hiding behind your intellect, which should give you a good idea why Mercury’s retrograde is SO significant now. There’s so much to consider as you expand into your new Self, you’ll need to know what matters to you the most.

Spiritual growth and your needs

Spiritual growth is the ongoing understanding and application to your life of spiritual concepts.

People on earth form a belief as to what their needs are, which is normally based on cultural or historical values. Moreover people are usually given a picture to them of what a successful life means based upon these earthly issues.

People’s needs often relate to this picture.

Spiritually all you ever need is courage as it will allow you to follow the pathway assigned to you which will be different to what you were taught in childhood as to what your pathway would be, or what you would like it to be.

Therefore people’s imagined needs rarely coincide with their real needs - their real needs are those things which will best help them to meet their spiritual tests. No person is judged on their material success just on their spiritual success.

Trust

Trust is to accept the validity of the wisdom of another or yourself and the application to your journey even though the application isn’t always clear.

Just did a meditation on this little baby and it turns out I’m not into NOT knowing the outcome…man what an intense meditation

Unity and Trust

The world is comprised of people, all of whom are in some way different. Each would like different things and each will respond to different stimuli in their life.

Unity is the coming together of a group of people who by definition are different, but who share a number of values and agree to operate in their life under shared guidelines and principles.

This allows for individualism and respects each person’s rights. A unified group of people can be powerful but only if they trust themselves and others in the group. Unity without trust will not succeed for long. Unity and trust combined are very powerful.

If there is a person or persons in a group who are not trusted, for the group to succeed they must leave.

Society is made up of groups called communities and sub groups within those communities. Communities are not based upon geographical location but upon shared interests and values. Unified and trusting groups will achieve much more than any individual or group of individuals.

Materialism

The term wealth generally refers to materialism. From childhood a lot of importance is placed on material wealth. Children are modelled to follow the examples of those who are materially successful. Little focus is given to the concept of spiritual and emotional wealth.

Children are taught to be sceptical of prophetic statements made by people who are poor and to more easily to accept the wisdom of the rich. In reality there is no correlation between the accumulation of material wealth and the accumulation of spiritual and emotional wealth.

Scepticism should be applied to prophetic statements where intuitively we don’t accept what a person is saying. It should not be applied when we don’t accept what a person is saying because they have little material wealth.

Generally speaking scepticism comes from a lack of tolerance. Whilst there are times scepticism has a place it is more important to accept or reject what people say than to be sceptical about it. We do this by applying our intuition.

Materialism and scepticism will decrease when people are able to celebrate milestones on earth for the hope and love they bring, not for the power, status or money.

Achievement and Recognition

From birth each person is taught how important it is to others for them to achieve; for example, a parent wants their child to achieve so as to make a parent feel good.

This is the beginning of the education of people to achieve for others. This then shows itself in school life where you achieve for the school in sport, where you achieve for the team in any activity. Later in life you achieve for your employer; your family achieve for the family.

When the level of achievement reaches the required standard you are recognised by the others you are achieving for.

By spiritual standards this method is flawed. You are meant to achieve primarily for yourself and to be recognised by yourself for you own effort.

What each person is meant to achieve is in accordance with the repayment of the karmatic debt and also what they have agreed to do in this life in order to grow.

Self reliance spiritually is very personal. It gets to the point of only accepting judgement on yourself, from yourself and to find an inner peace and calm in what you are endeavoring to achieve.

This means that more and more you need less and less people around you, because while it is nice to be praised and not nice to be criticised, a self reliant person will take minimal head of both.

This lack of need of other people can cause you to appear to be a loner. It becomes hard for you to engage in trivial matters, but you will indulge others who do.

The risk with being self reliant is being perceived as aloof, superior and not needing others.
