August 16 - 22 Carefully Pulling Back the Slingshot
Each week I have a conversation with a loved one about what is going on astrologically and energetically.
This week we are putting in to practice the most relevant behaviors we know of, to slingshot through the fire.
Christopher Witecki broke the week down like this:
Monday: Sunny and Mystical, Divine intervention, last minute changes, heart and mind agree. Over the weekend you may have finally decided what you need to do. Was that decision made from the heart? Strong spiritual and miracle vibrations are present Monday. This will give us some divine guidance regarding the decision we made over the weekend to either support, or redirect us. Look for a feeling of “YES WE CAN”
Tuesday: Sunny and devoted, New moon in Leo, Feeling your heart, and feeling the change. We will devote our heart to a direction. Something in the outer world, or our inner world devotion will stimulate this. We will take this devotion seriously. When a heart is devoted it is the most powerful energy that there is in the human race. This is also the day that Pluto is at the same degree it was on January 12, 2020, the event that kicked this year off. This is a transformational degree changing things forever. This new moon is the answer to the questions we started asking in January.
Wednesday: Sunny and activated, ego is ruling the day, putting your transformation into motion, second guesses and tests. Put your devotion into motion and take action. Activate your dreams.
Thursday: Sunny and Producing, holding space to manifest a life transformation, and the changes will stick. Earth grand trine today means that this is when things will really begin to change. Tangible evidence will begin to show. Face fears about labels, miscommunication, what people will think.
Friday: cloudy and tested, bleeding edge of love, every plan you have will be tested, may be an emotional revolution. Final test for this new direction. Take it easy. Pace yourself. Tomorrow we move into the production phase of our plans. We are rewriting our narrative.
He says this is a Golden Ticket week where we will either commit to love and what our heart tells us is possible or, we will commit to what we are being told or responding to the fear. What we are choosing to create during this Leo season, is setting the stage for how we will experience the Aquarian energy we are moving toward by the end of the year. that being said, he strongly suggests we go for the gusto, dream the big dreams. Will this movie have a happy ending, or will it not? We have to decide that with our heart and dreams and visions.
If we believe that we were born at this moment for a specific purpose, then THIS is the moment to step up.
Here is what Kaypacha has to say:
“Some things are moving forward, Some things are going back, I choose to focus on the blessings of life, Instead of upon the lack.”
He described the energy of a slingshot created by the current aspects. On one side of the slingshot we have “external authority” putting pressure on us to get our acts together. On the other we have some dreams and illusions, innocent rose colored glasses on that could give us this feeling of having blind faith. What we are pulling back and slinging, is this desire to start something new: a new expression, new business, new tangible offering, a website. We want it to be socially relevant. Its like we just graduated from school and we are heading out in to the big world to offer our gifts. The place we are aiming for is found when we answer the question: What does the future want? How will this meet the needs of the many?
He says on one hand the energy is ramped up and saying “lets GO!” And we also are feeling this ball and chain, this resistance that is pulling us back based on the past. We need to face entropy, doubt, the pull of the past ideas that we are not good enough or ready, or that we don’t deserve. These were old seeds that were planted in January, and now its time to cut the cords, break the chains, and launch into the new frontier.
Start clean, close the door behind you so the next door can open.
Thank you Kaypacha.
Achyta Bahva from Nightlight Astrology did a great monthly report at the beginning of August that is worth watching. For this week he highlighted the Mars Saturn Pluto Squares. My takeaways on this were that I have to remember to keep my head on right when it comes to expressing and behaving from my emotions. He talked about the value of being a martial artist, channeling the tension and power for a specific intention. These squares are ongoing through December so we have some time to practice and temper ourselves.
Another valuable concept he brought up is that if we are putting a lot of effort into posturing as a certain role or identity in the world in an effort to be “right”, the pressure from this transit will break our joints if we are trying to constrain and hold ourselves under against this, due to fear. He explains it so eloquently so if you want to know more please watch his video on Mars Square Pluto and Saturn. My takeaway is that its time to be true to me, a soul not a role, and know that what is right in each moment is authenticity.
On a personal note, I chose to commit to a new direction of service and cut my ties with my old ways of serving others. It was a hard decision since I like to have “so many options” but I see how having so many doors open, keeps me from committing and stepping through one. I am ready to be disciplined and committed and I do believe that what I am doing now is relevant and helpful for the future, and the many.
What I had to cut through was my fear that I won’t be constant, or will fizzle and flake off when things get hard for me. In the past, these behaviors made me feel like a fraud and unprofessional, so I was afraid to commit unless I really believed I could deliver. Since starting and sticking to a new workout and meal plan earlier this month, I have more confidence in my ability to make choices that strengthen my body and be consistent. The way I feel in this area health and body, is supporting me in this new endeavor. I am planing and strategizing my moves, but simultaneously taking action in the basic direction I am headed.
I do hope this report serves you in the week to come. Thank you for showing up and reflecting on your own life and heart decisions. Its up to us to choose our own adventure. Lets make it a heart centered one.
Love,
Christina Luna
