This Week

Contemplations

The Sun is in the Gate 14 and the Earth is in the Gate 8.

Where most people track the transits of the Sun, we track both the Sun and the Earth because we all feel the energy of both of these archetypes (after all, we do live on planet Earth).

The Sun is highlighting the Gate 14. Power skills, Prosperity, and “Possession in Great Measure”. This is the energy of good fortune, for competence in working with money, or working to generate money—oftentimes in weird or untraditional ways. This Gate is mostly a yang Gate, but is ruled and led by the yin. Remembering our grounding force allows us to cultivate more yin while working with this energy. (Mineral: Gold)

Our grounding force this week is the Gate 8. Contribution. This week you may feel the desire to make a difference, to create change, and do so in your own unique style. The key to being able to do that effectively is to remember who you are and to express yourself authentically. It may take some refining (or trial and learning) to determine what kind of contribution feels truly authentic to you. (Mineral: Silver)

Listen in…

A note on listening to audio contemplations: don’t take them too seriously. If they overwhelm or confuse you, stop listening to them and go back to the basic descriptions of the Gates. They are enough.

BODY FIRST—don’t forget to track Your Rhythms.
