The Spirit of Initiation takes us through the various stages of change. This concept is symbolic of the numerological vibe for today. A number five day encourages change as we move toward our higher ideals.
There is an earthy feel to today – the Moon is in Taurus which links nicely with Mercury in Virgo. This alignment bodes well for practical discussions and pragmatic outcomes. Of course the Sun is in Virgo so there may be a little fussiness or at least an attention to detail. Personally, I like this earthy energy as it is very grounding for an emotional water sign like me.
Like attracts like is a common theme in esoteric circles – our subconscious icons resemble the earthy pitch for the day. The trio of cards in front of me read: Past – The Hermit; Present – The Devil and Future – The Hierophant. Each card is ruled by an earth sign.
For example; The Hermit is Virgo ruled – our sixth house occupant. The Hermit is cautious and mindful of his progress through the outcrop of our daily journey. Watch your step and don’t react or at least don’t over react – take your time and focus on the golden lantern of truth.
The Devil is Capricorn ruled – he resides in the 10th house of career and public appearances. His posses’ ambition and focused drive toward his goals and outcomes. The Devil is a great motivator if you’ve been lazy or thrown off balance by the recent hailstorm from the cosmos.
Some people fear this card instead I would suggest that there is a light and dark side to everything in the Universe. We can live in either side or embrace either side. Of course we have free will and we can choose our perspectives of each lesson here in earth school.
We are human – although some may say we are spiritual beings having a human experience – I think that depends on your individual perspective. Being human comes with a payload of emotions. Some of these emotions dwell in the base chakra and some are direct from the heart. The channel depends upon the circumstances and how we feel about situations. For example, if your family was threatened or you may be notified that you’ve just lost your job this is the base or root chakra – our primal centre and we may feel fear, anger and other dark emotions. On the other hand, when we fall in love our emotions flow from the heart and this energy is much more soft and warm.
The Hierophant is Taurean ruled and the final earth sign for the day. The Hierophant represents the wounded healer – through our emotional wounds the residue is compassion and empathy. We gain insight and begin to heal or choose to heal others. I guess you could call this, “healing from experience”.
Each situation, challenge or experience is an opportunity to heal or dare I say – not to heal – once again the choice is yours. The Spirit of Initiation lives and takes us on a journey of transformation through the corridors of self awareness and love – do you want to join me?
Love, Peace and Harmony,
