21 Gemini 24’

There is a relationship between your thoughts and your life. You can change your life by changing your thoughts. Stand guard at the doorway of your mind. Stand guard at data entry and exit. What are you buying? What are you creating? You are the author. You write the script for your life. If you can read this, you can take the reins of your life and make a life you love.

You might do some awful writing for a while. You might be clumsy and cumbersome—halting, not fluid—vague, not precise. You might write with the ink of your sorrows or past mistakes. At least you write. At least you create. At least you take responsibility. Who is helpless? Who is handicapped in a way that beauty cannot be made, that strong bold lines can’t tell the story of how you got over— a story that strengthens you and serves others?

You can’t make it perfect if you won’t take a stab at it. You won’t make it perfect if you don’t guard it and love it while it is imperfect. I am not just talking about a thing. I am talking about your vital life. Uranus and Jupiter are both entering Aries. This is a time of new beginnings.

There is a symbol for this degree, called a Sabian symbol. Each degree is given an image and the one for this degree is “emergence of the feminine.” That doesn’t seem right when you associate Aries with masculine and the Emperor. But, does not the symbol of Aries begin with a curve, a feminine movement? Then the symbol descends straight, ascends on the same line and finishes in an opposite curve.

Also, could we be talking about the meeting of Pisces and Aries? What becomes of Pisces, a feminine water sign? Does it end or does it gush forth from Aries? Doesn’t the back of the head have a relationship to the front of the head? Don’t the inner thoughts emerge into the life? And don’t they begin as the things you think and the things you say? Don’t they take form in what you do and what you do not do?

What if a healthy, wealthy, big-hearted, determined brilliant emergence of the feminine (Jupiter and Uranus) means that we could have better charge of our psychic lives, that we could let love live and artfully reproduce the accurate, bountiful, beautiful inner stuff?

Stand guard at the doorway of your mind. Think about what you want. Do not admit the possibility of failure. Your thoughts of failure are in your imagination, and your imagination is first manifestation. I saw a cooking challenge on television where the cook had to present to the judges (Jupiter) and she had run out of time to top her dish with a sauce that would have completed it. She stepped out wearing her defeat on her face. The judges knew that something was wrong just looking at her, and when she opened her mouth, she dwelled on the incompleteness of her dish. She came close to being eliminated, more because of her attitude than because of her cooking. In the end she was not eliminated, so her angst was for nothing! And perhaps, if she had come out leading with and leaning on what she did present and was confident in what she could bring to future challenges, she might not have landed near the bottom. You get points for carrying it off and carrying on. Life is the same way. “Those blues they send to meet me won’t defeat me.” (”Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” — Burt Bacharack)

Be aware of the tendency to lead with your flaws and to think overmuch about what you don’t want. Your thoughts are the soundtrack of your life.  Make sure they are harmonious and not dissonant. Dissonant thoughts equal dissonant life.  If you whine, complain, frown, and are dissatisfied, you harvest bitter fruit. If you speak well, full of hope and determination you harvest a sweet life. Meditate on shortfall— attract shortfall. Meditate on overcoming, and overcome.

Sun and Moon are squaring Saturn. Life has to follow rule and law, but not for the purpose of confining you or thwarting you. Rule and law is for the purpose of freeing you. Those who would rule Nature, must first obey her laws.  Do it right and you experience dominion.  Do it wrong and you experience frustration. However, let frustration serve, not defeat you. Persist. Don’t quit. Hang back and rest, but keep your eye and your heart on the prize. Be careful about what you tell yourself is going on. Tell yourself the truth that sets you free, not the lies that keep you bound. Remember that you create according to your thoughts and speech. You need an act of will to speak loudly and clearly for what you want, even if your eyes don’t see, rather than give in to the sordid and empty.

Let a new world emerge. Rely on a higher power. Begin again in brightness and light. Be inventive, daring, and optimistic. Uranus and Jupiter square Pluto in Capricorn.  Observe what happens when you are positive, how things work for your good. Observe the life you begin to have without you necessarily having any hand in it beyond aligning your thoughts with that which is All Good.
