A NEW CYCLE
“We have learned so much . . . there still remains much to learn. We are not going in circles; we are going upwards. The path is a spiral.” Herman Hesse, Siddhartha
In mid-March we began a new cycle when we entered Aries at the spring equinox. The zodiacal calendar is a progression, both on a personal level and on a higher, greater purpose level. As we grow our selves, so we also attempt to grow humanity. The progression around the zodiac explains the growth.
Aries – Here I AM! Bursting onto the earthly plane, still with the remembrance of where we came from.
Taurus – I can touch, eat, throw things! Learning the right use of personal resources.
Gemini – there’s two of us in the room; I must learn to communicate and share my toys!
Cancer –I recognize that I am part of a whole family in which negotiation and respect must be learned; the Family of Man.
Leo – playing, showing off and falling in love for the first time; ultimately, unconditional love.
Virgo – the first recognition that this “other” part of me is Divine and the urgent need to nurture it.
Libra – the recognition that an Other is as important as I am; the Sacred Marriage with the Highest Partner.
Scorpio –I get tested as to my commitment to that Other and to the Journey.
Sagittarius – I and my partner are One and now it is about learning focus, direction and discipline; the Path has so many distractions.
Capricorn – The ambition to climb to the peak of the mountain, fall at the feet of the Master. Aquarius – after seeing the big picture, receiving enlightenment I need to share it with others, with All.
Finally, Pisces when I realize this one lifetime is such a tiny drop in the bucket. It’s time to recapitulate, go deep inside, into the Mystery to prepare for the next cycle. We can do better, always.
