ah, ok

Almost everything that is happening this week happens on Monday. Times like this are usually significant shifts and require space and time for us to integrate what has unfolded. Many of our control mechanisms for slowing, analyzing, and directing will be less inhibited, which could be good, bad, or both. It seems like this week allows changes and breakthroughs into the most interior chambers, which could be experienced positively unless we are holding on too tightly. Our feelings will be big this week, outsized, and more intense than usual. This could be an amplification of the more helpful things emerging, or it could be an intensification of the push to break things down and start anew. If this sounds confusing, it is--we are given a tremendous amount of will and energy to...chill and connect with things bigger than ourselves. It might be the perfect time to dig into spiritual practices, or it might show up as a celebration.
We also have a new cycle beginning around concealment and the hard work of beautification. This new path opens up for us to explore innovations in our process. We all know that much work goes into creating most things, but we can experiment this week with new ways of doing things. There are many details to iron out for the next two weeks, and it is likely a laborious undertaking, but something extraordinary can become of it if we slow down and allow the process to guide us. We may feel identified with the work that we are undertaking now. This is not positive or negative in and of itself, but understanding that value comes from the effort and not the result. This process could be the assimilation of a new outlook and redefining how we show up in the world. Again, there is no wrong way of proceeding, but take care to incorporate rest into the long haul.
The end of the week brings our desires and yearning into focus. This time is useful for understanding the why and how of our wishes and wants. We will be in contact with the tales our desires weave for us and how that influences our actions and behaviors. We are also confronted with the underbelly of what it takes to attain those cravings--the less romanticized procedures of dirty or tedious work to satisfy our desires. Do we separate what we want from how we get it? Is there something unknown, or even unsavory, about how we go about obtaining our desires? Almost always, the answer is “Yes,” giving us the chance to look under the rug and come into relation with that process. This might lead to not being so enamored with what we want, giving just enough space between impulse and attainment to say “No” to scratching every itch. What we want is not always good for us, but that can be obscured by the rush of pleasure we associate with fulfilling our wishes.
