The Comfort Of Home
by Dipali Desai
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an
unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who
violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest
honourably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from
beyond.
-- Jelalludin Rumi, from
On Being a Lover, in The Essential Rumi, Harper San Francisco, 1995.
Week of July 1st -5th
At the start of the Month of July, Mars (planet that symbolizes action, desires and courage) moves into the meticulous practical and healing sign of Virgo. The symbolism suggests taking precise and methodical steps towards improving your situation or manifesting your goals. Nutrition, Heath and Overall Wellness will be of focus.
Venus/Jupiter dazzling duo symbolizes the need for balance or moderation. You may feel indulgent. Whether you are indulging in the next pair of Jimmy Choos or eating a big hunk of birthday cake to splurging on a new swimming pool for the house. Balance both emotional and practical needs by being responsible in your choices.
New Moon in Cancer at 11 degrees Tap into the refreshing new energy that is symbolized by the new moon. Quench your emotional thirst by doing something that feels good to your Soul. A good space for connecting with family - be it biological, friends or global. Anything that attunes you to the element of water may revitalize you.[read the blog post]
Mercury/Uranus symbolically stimulates unpredictable breakthroughs in ways of perceiving, thinking and communicating. Sometimes breakdown or limitation equals prompts or openings for breakthroughs. Do take your time while driving and making important decisions - its best to slow down. Blend compassion with your rational thinking and convey the information with tact. Sudden new insights, creative breakthroughs and forward motion of communications are now possible. The storms pass, mental energies settle. Now you can breathe even more deeply or come out of your hibernation cave.
Week of July 6th-12th
This weeks starts out with a "Feel Heavenly" energy. If you are an artist,
writer, mystic or healer you may float on the streams of inspiration. Mercury/Neptune
in a feel good connection stimulates inspiration, easy insights and non-linear
states of consciousness. The logistics of things may be too much to handle
today - as the urge is to daydream and be creative. Rely on your intuitive
hunches to guide you. Venus/Uranus's symbolic electro-magnetic kiss is stimulating
and exciting in the area of friendship, love and romance as well as creative
endeavors. Such easy flowing energy to work with its like floating on the
clouds.
Sun/Jupiter symbolism suggests watching that you don't
jump into excess or over extend yourself in any given situation. This is
a great time to regain your harmony between fulfilling what you desire emotionally
and the duties of your professional sphere.
By the end of the week, Mercury/Pluto represents, you may
find that there are few things that you need to confront or resolve. It
is not about right or wrong. What may be true for one person, another has
a different belief or perspective. Watch for verbal debates that lead into
power struggles. Use the energy towards transforming the thinking process
or investigate information so that it is empowering to all concerned. There
can be a positive understanding if you focus on that outcome. Some adjustments
with your goals or plans may have to be made. If you genuinely put forth
the effort and work, it will produce fruitful results.
For the next few weeks, as Mercury shifts into the sign of Cancer;
communication styles shift into a more feeling and subjective mode. Feelings
and emotions will mix into conveying your thoughts. Make sure to be empathic,
and really listen in conversation rather than talking all the time. It is
a great space to learn to be sensitive and soft with your delivery of your
words and style of communication.
Week of July 13th-19th
Bold, colorful, dramatic style of interacting unfolds for the next few
weeks as Venus shifts into the regal and royal sign of Leo.
Express deeply and fully from your heart. Be genuine when you demonstrate
love, show affection, or appreciate beauty. Romance, Love and Passion are
sparking the timbers to create a fire; creating a warming and generous feeling.
Wonderful time to play, return to innocence and pour your creativity into
something artistic.
An opportunity arises mid-week to negotiate, convey your ideas, write, publish
- all with an assertive energy and enthusiasm. It may be fun to chit chat
with friends over coffee, brainstorm and enjoy being together.
By the end of the week, a Full Moon in Capricorn at 24 degrees
casts it illuminating lunar rays on the landscape. Your internal emotional
landscape becomes brighter, so you can become aware of habitual tendencies
which keep you stuck or limited in some way. Be practical in approaching
emotional turmoil. What real changes can you make and what are the steps
to start creating a more fulfilled life, relationship or work? Patience
is highlighted during this particular full moon. Remember you are the CEO
of your life, plan long term and take things one step at a time.
Mercury/Jupiter symbolism suggests a push and push energy
unfolding, and scattering or over extending mental energy is possible. Are
you imposing your ideas, views or beliefs in conversation? Where are you
exaggerating the truth? It is time to find a greater balance in promising
what you are able to deliver. This keeps your integrity intact.
Week of July 20th-26th
Say cheese....Lights, camera, action! Solar light shines upon the
astrological sign of Leo. A flair for drama? This is your time.
You may be drawn to radiating your light or style of expression more, being
affectionate and playful, generous, glamourous and creative. This is the
time to understand about loving yourself deeply and genuinely. Enrich your
relationships with some sparkle and passion.
Mercury/Uranus symbolizing a easy-flowing energy unexpected
flashes of insight, good news, solutions may appear suddenly with an electric
sizzle. Keep a journal or notebook handy just as quick as the insight comes
is as it leaves in high speed. You may get a out of the blue invite to meet
a friend out on the town. Have fun! This dynamic duo's energy represents
you are drawn to anything that is stimulating, exciting and innovative.
Great day for brainstorming or coming up with creative ideas for future
projects.
Week of July 27th-31st
As the week begins; Sun/Mercury team up representing
a like-focused energy in being innocently curious about life. What are you
experiencing? Take in the richness and beauty. Expressing yourself, communicating
to others, relaying an idea all are very energized and may be well received
if you speak from your heart. Be authentic in how you share with others.
There is energy to be charismatic in speaking, writing and articulating
your ideas. You may even be daring enough to share what's in your heart
with someone dear and near. Dare to be bold and colorful - shine bright.
The end of the week approaches and a
Venus/Neptune energy approaches. The mystical duo's energy
represents at first you may be feel fuzzy or lack clarity within a relationship
or interaction. It is possible to have unrealistic expectations within a
romantic relationship which creates a bit of friction. Or you may long to
be with something who is unavailable. A conflict between the heart and mind
is possible. Go within and seek answers, your inner wisdom and guidance
will lead you to a more realistic solution, new balance and greater harmony.
The Venus/Neptune symbolism also suggests inspiration, great energy for
meditation, dream-state activity and daydreaming. Remember to go into the
backyard or park and get grounded to bring your mystical inspirations onto
the earth. A beautiful ending the the month of July.
