Merry Jupiter going direct day!!!
Jupiter will be going direct in the earth sign of Ta**us today after going through a retrograde since late summer! Jupiter will officially station direct at 6:40 pm pacific time… and even though it stations at 5 degrees Ta**us, the card is alright highlighting some of the work for us once it shifts into Gemini in a few months!

Jupiter is one of my “teacher planets”.. and Jupiter is the fun teacher with analogies that make you laugh and learn at the same time.. we always have much to learn in Earth school and for now, we focus our learning in Ta**us lessons of value and worth, money, gifts and talents, and even the blessings this lovely earth offers to us in so many ways… through all the senses!

Moon in Leo is reminding us to finish up 2023 with as much joy and heart as we can muster.. the way we end something will affect our new beginning… moon trine mars late in the evening could bring on fiery fun and passions aplenty! Keep in mind to keep things in measure as the celebration astrology amps up!

Here is the write up for this card:

TRAINING. LEARNING. NEW HOBBIES. PASSIONS.
Follow your desire to study and learn. Dive into what fascinates you. Immerse yourself in the topic that captivates you most. Maybe there's something you're passionate about that you're called to deepen your knowledge of through study or learning. Or something you want to experience more fully.
You're being encouraged to increase your wisdom and to experience life in a deeper way. To follow your passions and embark on some kind of higher and deeper learning. What are your interests? What would you like to learn more about? What topic fascinates you? What could you talk or read about without getting bored? Which field are you most interested in? What makes you come more alive?
Maybe you're being called to consider a new career or explore the possibility of training in a new field.
Maybe you're being called to simply surrender to your passions and dive even deeper into them in your spare time. Education, whether traditional or experiential, can never be taken away from you.
Knowledge can open the mind and light up the soul.

What do you want to understand more deeply? Is there something you've been considering studying, whether in a structured way or more experientially?
Is there a course or program you're interested in? Is there something you're longing to explore for yourself? What piques your interest? What could you learn about without getting bored?
SOUL INQUIRY
What interests you or makes you come more alive?

🌏💗 'Anything unresolved within our energy field, or chakras, will keep manifesting as illnesses or problems in our lives, until we heal it. We are each being called to step up and do what is necessary to heal. As we heal ourselves, this healing ripples out to the world around us.' - Natalie Southgate

Tibetan Buddhists believe that Yeshe Tsogyel was reborn as Machig Labdron and that both were incarnations of the female Buddha Vajrayogini. Machig developed the Ta***ic Buddhist practice of Chod. Chod is referred to as the Cutting Off Ritual. A demon, according to Machig, is anything that obstructs the achievement of freedom. Demons then are ego beliefs, not scary, hairy beasts, but inner barriers that keep us from realizing the nature of reality. The Chod practitioner visualizes their demon and then mentally cuts off parts of their own body as an offering to the demon.

From Machig’s perspective as an enlightened female she knew that the difference between a god and a demon had to do with our reaction to them. Those who cause us pain, she explained, also teach us patience: whereas those who bring gifts can distract us from our spiritual paths. No one, and no single situation has the power to derail us; that is unless we let it. The power rests within us. The spiritual path for Machig was to become intimate with her inner demons: those thoughts or beliefs that kept her from experiencing joy and bliss and just pure love.

The darkness within us isn’t actually dark. It feels threatening often because some aspect of our intuition knows that when we face it, we will reclaim a lost part of our soul. We will heal. We will become more whole, and that ironically can be terrifying. We get so used to functioning with only one wing. We wonder; how can I fly now with two? I’ll go too far, too high. Who will I become now that I am free? And who will I lose in the elevation of my soul?

Machig is here to support us in seeing what’s ready to come to consciousness. She’s here with her diamond heart to hold us as we feed one of our demons not with fear but with the knowledge that bringing it to life, and into the light will help set us free,”
