Our journey of growth is a constant movement of inward and outward involving both times of introspection and external engagement. The inward movement takes us into a space of self-reflection and involves looking within to gain greater self-awareness, insight and understanding. It is what creates the foundation for meaningful outward action. The outward movement is the application of our awareness and understanding to the external world. Periods of inward reflection inform our outward actions and our experiences from the outward world prompt further inward reflection, creating a continuous cycle of learning, adaptation, and growth.
Currently we are in a time of inward reflection with the incoming energies and retrograding planets supporting introspection. We are being urged to reflect on where we are going and what we are doing. Today, Jupiter the planet that governs growth and expansion shifts retrograde adding another layer to the already saturated retrograde energy we are moving through. Jupiter’s retrograde period asks us to reevaluate our growth and expansion, and ensure that whatever choices and decisions we are making align with our soul.
This is a time to be radically honest with yourself, and to truly determine what has meaning and purpose. It may require you accepting current circumstances as they are, rather than how you wish them to be while letting go of comforting illusions or narratives that no longer serve you. Rather than rushing to find solutions or to make sense of everything stay curious, be patient, and slow down. Learn to trust in the timing and the unfolding of events. Be aware of how you may be blocking yourself with limiting thoughts or rigid ideas. Confront the lingering issues that may be unconsciously impacting you. Be willing to experience an expanded view of yourself, your life, and what is possible.
Much love
