A Clouded Path

As we move into the crescent moon phase of this cycle--the time when we really begin to emerge from the 'womb state' of the new moon--I'm meditating on how often we lash out wildly and inappropriately. Often because we are frustrated when our efforts don't bare the fruit we believe we should be receiving. We are currently in the Orphiuchus cycle (sign). Orphiuchus is primarily unknown in Western astrology (except those who practice sidereal astrology). The sun travels through the constellation Scorpio and 'dips' into Orphiuchus after a period of only 7 days in Scorpio for a period of 19 days then travels through the constellation of
Sagittarius. Orphiuchus focuses on the highest healing and creative wisdom available. Unfortunately for many, we are closed off from this important portal because we don't know that it exists! The famous Hermetic saying 'as above, so below' translates for Orphiuchus as a blind spot in the psyche; in our inability to own this powerful sexual healing energy. Scorpio alone cannot deal with the traumas of the modern psyche including the sexual repression and imbalances. Orphiuchus is the embodiment of being able to "hold"and transmute Shakti/Kundalini energy, to 'touch' pure Goddess energy within and without. The frustration we have with not seemingly able to free ourselves from addiction, fear etc. can be released through this cycle like no other. In your visions of wholeness see that aspect of yourself who has the power and consciousness to 'charm serpents' transforming through dance and bliss those cloudy energies out of your atmosphere. See the Shakti serpents ingesting the poisons and transmuting them into healing usuable energy. Allow this energy to become conscious and use it! Peace, Liaya
