Nine of Pentacles, Rider Waite Tarot
On the path to personal fulfilment.
Others around us might not understand the work we're currently engulfed in (see 'narrowness' yesterday).
Traditions and the way modern society forms us may even induce a sense of guilt in ourselves, that it is selfish.
And maybe it triggers deep fear in us, because it appears as if we're alienating ourselves from 'the tribe'.
But which tribe? A tribe that we WANT to belong to, or not?
If it's a tribe we don't feel kinship with what's the point of bending our backs to fit in?
One can never feel a sense of belonging in a setting were one doesn't - for one reason or another - belong.
Maybe we DID belong, but don't any more.
That's a hard one for the ego to comprehend.
And a hard one for the nervous system to grip.
Belonging equals survival.
Being alone equals death.
Death of what though?
Deep inner work, or #individuaition as Jung called it, is FOR the collective.
For the evolution of our species.
Much more so than trying to 'fit' into the current scheme of things.
Pluto is only days from entering into #Aquarious
The energies of, and need, to "break free" will become stronger and stronger the upcoming years!
This change happens in my 4th house.
A need to "break free from roots".
To build or find a new tribe (the house of family/home)?
The first part (and cusp) of the house is Capricorn - stability. practicality, order.
But once that's there, FREEDOM is essential. Freedom and progression.
It mirrors #TraumaHealing - the importance of safety before 'writing a new narrative'.
It's not just about pushing our comfort zone, but consciously expanding our Window of Tolerance.
Early in the process 'the old tribe' is definitely within the WoT, and cannot and should not be left. But there comes a point in 'the work' were it's merely our comfort zone and it's time to 'leave the nest'.
This can be met with resistance - from within and without.
But it's the only path to 'wholeness', to true growth - personally, and therefore collectively.
