Self knowledge - Lapis Lazuli

I open to Divine understanding

This ally is an indication to you that a time of spiritual learning is at hand. This is a period of initiation to the “mysteries” of life and the workings of the Infinite.

Lapis indicates that you may need to do some soul searching. Are you living the life you would choose for yourself? Are your behaviours and creations matching who you know yourself to be? Take stock of your inner gifts, beliefs and desires; then ask for the energy of Lapis to aid you in manifesting your true potential on the Earth Plane.

The Moon is in Cancer which adds a homey feel to the day. People are more emotional and sensitive. Cancer is a water sign so drinking lots of water is a good way to overcome the Cancerian need to feed. On the other hand the Moon is in her native sign and she feels quite at home.

Mercury is now going backwards in Taurus so there could be confusion or a sense you are playing it again, Sam. If you are having a déjà moment it is quite likely that you have returned to this situation to gain insight or clarity. If this is the case then consider your first response. This is your key to unlock the mystery of the repeat offender/offence.

If for some reason you keep repeating the lesson then use this Mercury retrograde phase to reflect and make some plans to navigate the lesson.

In days gone by I use to dread Mercury retrograde phase – I would be terrified to make a decision or sign a contract and then I read that Yoko Ono Lennon would deliberately sign contracts in this phase as a way of ensuring that she could get out of the deal if she wanted to in the future. Then I considered – what an amazing cosmic exit clause!

It’s a number eight day so it’s back to business. Now get out of your dreamy meditative and reflective state and into the focused business power suit. Its time to prove your worth in the working world and show them what you’ve got!

In our morning reading the high Priestess is a calm wise figure who knows about life lessons. Yes, she’s learned the hard way but she willing to share them with the world. She is honest about her mistakes and loving in her moments of reflection. We can learn a great deal from her, can’t we?

Death creeps in like a dark stranger. The atmosphere goes cold and we are acutely aware of our vulnerability. It is a time of change and contemplation. The world is changing and we are uncertain of our current path.

Judgement is a welcome relief – no seriously. We are happy to shed the layers that no longer serve us. Saturn has bounced back into Virgo as a harsh reminder that there is some unfinished business to deal with. Don’t be afraid. The truth is painful but once the boil is lanced then we can begin to heal.

Lapis holds the rivers of gold we’ve dove into when we choose the path of self knowledge. We all have our individual lessons – friends and family play their parts in our movie but we have the starring role.
