Count Our Blessings & Year of Wooden Snake
I woke up empty. Some restlessness and unsatisfactory feelings started to creep inside me.
Daily transit is in gate 60 – acceptance. I don’t have energy to be depressed so I grounded myself and started checking my mental state. First, I asked myself: What is acceptance?
Acceptance is to be in peace with whatever was, is or will be. Can I accept? Yes, I can.
Then, I started counting my blessings. Safe, comfy home with peace and respect. Husband who gives hugs, kisses, and works on keeping our family provided. Healthy child with great academic success, who is bringing nothing else than pride and joy. My silly cat. My super gentle dog. I have beautiful friends. My family is healthy. We didn’t lose anything in wildfires that were blazing in California for the last 20 days. My family is healthy. Our bills are up-to-date. We eat healthy, home cooked food. Check✔️. Check ✔️. Check ✔️.
Then, why do I feel such melancholy?
Why is everyone I know going through it and in a similar state of mind? My logical mind likes logical explanation.
The shift is here. Not just Pluto in Aquarius but nodes changing signs as well.
Melancholy, lack of energy and sleepiness is not just the result of January. Mars in retrograde (now in the sign of Cancer) and opposition to Pluto in Aquarius for quite some time, to finally make return to Cancer. Mars is not happy in Cancer thus making us cranky, passive aggressive and less assertive. It’s hard to count our blessings when we feel lack. Lack in energy is influencing our experiences of life. Because life is nothing more than experience and our perspective is the main key which will unlock our experience.
If you are sad? That’s your perspective. If you’re satisfied? That’s also your personal perspective. Like everything else in this human life.
So how to cope?
Change perspective. Try something different. Have trust.
The North node in Pisces will help to gain more spiritual knowledge and understanding of life and our experiences and perspective will definitely change in the next eighteen months. Last year and the half, our main focus was on relationships and power dynamics- Me VS others. We have been witnesses to many break-ups and divorces. Aries North node brought courage to stand up for ourselves. Final eclipse in Aries will take place in March – giving us one extra opportunity to see where we have to find courage and where to keep balance (even when our Ego says otherwise).
Our Ego self will try to dominate but if you look closely and reach your Higher self, you could reach new understanding about your situation and new level of peace. Peace is the only thing we actually need beside love.
When you think about it, you will see that this is the only truth and knowledge we have to accept.
No, the world will not suddenly change. There will still be wars, hurt, and angry, sad people. But your perspective will be on good, joy, gratitude and healed awaken people who preach Christ’s consciousness.
So that shift in Nodes will show importance of mental health, healthy lifestyle, changes in our daily routines, shifts in perspective, and new spiritual development. Of course, there will be doubts and challenges, but always try to see opportunities hiding in the chaos. Those challenges could become our greatest blessings.
If you are an empath, extra sensitive one as I am, probably you feel this collective anxiety and fears, rebel, anger. And, no, you are not alone in this. Gate 19 is active, with Archetype Name- Sensitive Soul, which reminds us to be sensitive to the needs of others but without sacrificing ourselves.
As I’m finishing this text on the New Moon in Aquarius and Chinese New Year who celebrate the year of the Wooden Snake, I have to remind myself that transformation will be prominent quality of this year, not just fixed in January or February.
We are about to face some fears, change our perspective, minds, plans, shed some old beliefs like snakes shed their own skin.
This is a reminder to stay resilient and grounded.
And don’t forget to count your blessings- daily!
