What a time is this? SLOW, that's what. Time can speed up or slow down, and while there are so many things happening in the world, Spirit has now put us in an "eddy" on the river of
life where we take a time out and look at our lives in slow motion. Just like in a sports game or movie, it's now possible to go back, slow it down, zoom in, look from another angle, and carefully examine exactly what happened.
Jupiter, the
great benefactor, just beginning to go direct again, is held up at the stoplight of a square to Saturn who doesn't want expansion until after June when a few more things are sorted out. This can feel excruciating for us fast-paced westerners. Coupled with Mars swimming (slowly) through the waters of Cancer and both Mercury and Venus preparing to go retrograde next month, we may feel like we are just barely treading water if not sinking.
What may need clarifying is that the "final examinations" mentioned in the mantra really refer to INNER EXAMINATIONS. While some of us may project our need for self-examination out onto others and be scrutinized, ideally, we take this time and go inward (Mercury trine Mars in Cancer)
and review, I would say, the last 33 years if you really want to be thorough. While this may be hard, time consuming, and emotionally draining/challenging, the results can be FANTASTIC! Think of how you feel after a colon, liver, kidney, and blood cleanse. This thorough internal examination can bring up all the toxic memories, emotions, actions, and consequences that, once cleared, will help your engine roar!
While I hate to get political, the DOGE is a pretty perfect example of what can be happening on a personal, internal level occurring on a governmental level. We can each make our own Department of Self (instead of Government) Efficiency. It can be experienced as "trimming the fat" or a pairing down, but we will be lean, clean
machines (just a metaphor, we know we're not machines!) by the end of this and glad we did it. So rather than go grudgingly under the microscope, let's look at it like a nice warm shower, take our time, scrub off all the old dirt, and come out shining!
This
week's song is, you guessed it, It's All Over!
So Much Love,
Kaypacha
