This Week

Contemplations

The Sun is in the Gate 44 and the Earth is in the Gate 24.

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 44. Living in the now, with passion and purpose, taking on challenges (sometimes for a purpose and sometimes just for the sake of it), and becoming aware of the reality that death (in some form) is inevitable and that even when there is death, there is still eternality.

We need to ground down into the Gate 24. Nourishment. Our work this week is to prioritize our own well-being and to take care of ourselves (which ultimately also benefits the tribe). Take time to rest, to eat nourishing foods, and to do what feels good to do. This in itself can be a challenge, but with the earth here this week we’re especially challenged to not fall into the shadow expression of this energy, which is selfishly relying on others to fulfill our needs. This week, take responsibility for your own self-nourishment.

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.
