August 30 - September 5: Resonance and Dissonance

Each week I have a conversation with a loved one about what is going on astrologically and energetically. This week I am calling Resonance and Dissonance.

Christopher Witecki called this week inner alignment and outer reality check

Monday: Sunny and committed, to changing ourselves, we can feel the future and what we are changing to create it. We decide who we want to become next and who we no longer want to be. Things have got to change. We saw the truth over the weekend, ready to step away from our old ways. 

Tuesday: Full Moon, Sunny and charging ahead, putting new plans into motion, mind is drawing a line. Are you embracing a new spiritual story? Or remaining in fight or flight? The best and the worst can surface now in ourselves and others. Might be a power conflict or stalemate. Could be last minute surprises. 

Wednesday: Cloudy and conceiving, now ready to feel out a new spiritual path. Although we may feel backed into a Corner, or stuck in traffic, we are gently shifting from the inside. We are letting go of the last remaining feelings the were not letting us make changes. Emotional purge of doubts. There could be old patterns trying to pull you back. BE AWARE. Old path may try to bring you back in the final hour. 

Thursday: Sunny and aligning, new form, come into new strength. This is the payoff. If you held firm to you new becoming, you’ll see the benefits today. Focus on our spiritual purpose in the world. 

Friday: Sunny and Exploring, opening up to new options, might be a little confused. We will feel healed, will feel good. “OK, I made it through that, now what?” Important to feel satisfied with who we are inside, then make changes outside. 

Our actions and progress might feel stalled next weekend, lower motivation, or energy. May have a breakdown in the outer world with things that are not aligned with the inner world. 

Might feel like two different weeks in one. Harvest all of the spiritual work, Now in Virgo season, we are ready to become someone new. Be aware of ego aggression and control issue to arise. Might feel some “lose lose” situations, and it might take the month ahead to unravel these “knots.” 

Notes for Venus in cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn from Achyuta Bhava:

When we hold on too tightly to what we think is beautiful, or the right, or the way we think it should be, the ugly, or wrong, or opposite will eventually have to knock on our door to remind us to let go of our control. Attraction and repulsion present at the same time. “Some things that taste bad at first, you develop a taste for and in time you really love, so you have to give it time. And sometimes that doesn’t happen till you are a little older or a little more mature.” Happiness in the form of good: it tastes bad going down, but comes out as a good. We may be faced in our personal lives with a pill that tastes bad or is hard to swallow but is really good for us. Small commitments made each and every day, healthy bitterness, real health real harmony, a subtle wave that carries us. Deep underground river of peace, deep dark fertile place within, muddy and sustaining the beauty above, cultivate real lasting happiness by striking this acceptance and balance. Love me little but love me long vs. love me fast and passionately and immediately until it falls off the tracks. In order to go the long road with someone, I need someone who also feels like a friend. 

Notes on what Kaypacha shares this week:

“What I am now is the result of my past, and what I believed to be true. It helps to go back and compare and contrast, the original plan with the new.”

Black Moon Lillith, Eris, and Mars in square to Pluto, Earth grand trine: 

In times of uncertainty, we are caught in the middle, a transition from the past to the future, the now is where the past and the future meet. If you are between the ages of 38 and 42, you may be asking yourself, Is this my life? How did I get here? Is this where I want to be? Where do I want to go from here? 

I have many beliefs I thought were true, but now life is showing me something new. So when our life experience does not align with what we thought was real we come into confused thinking, cognitive dissonance. What helps, for each of us to go inside and revisit some of that past. Do this in a safe container. Only you know why you made the choices you chose. Your values etc. Only you can answer certain questions. There are some witnesses : your family siblings, parents, children, close enough to have seen your past, mirror, our beliefs change. 

Lets clean up our act, when we do we might notice the things we were not noticing before. Are we on track? I used to want to go here or do this, and now I don’t. Its not wrong to change our lives, direction, beliefs, truths. Compassion forgiveness, allowing for ourselves. 

We set out with intentions, but now its time to gather new information and mutate, get a deeper sense, a wider truth and abandon some of our limiting beliefs to open to new ones, or at least allow for detours. 

From my personal perspective: Oh man, We just need to be present with our own core values and meanings and allow those around us to have their own. Everyone is choosing how they want to lead their own lives right now and we may feel more dissonance with the people, behaviors and things that have been familiar for so long, but might not be aligned with us anymore. Dissonance doesn’t mean wrong or right, it just means that it is not aligned with us. It’s natural to feel right about our own values and beliefs, but remember, everyone else feels right too, based on their own values, so if everyone is right, who is wrong?  Is it, everyone you resonate with is right and everyone you have dissonance is wrong? Lets give far less shits about this. It’s not our job to convert the whole world. Trust that natural consequences exist for every decision everyone makes. Lets just make decisions for our life that feel aligned, “Take care of your own business and, stop worrying about what your sister does.” As my mom used to say. 

How can we have healthy boundaries that support our core values and allows free choice for everyone else? Let things change. The tighter we hold on the more its going to hurt. There is nothing wrong with pain, its how we know there is something that needs attention or change. So work with it and allow it to do what it does. Lean in and see what its telling you. And if you can be free of it, let it go.
