Influences of Alignment or Derailment – 12 January 2016

Tuesday, 12 January 2016

It’s raining on the High Desert this morning making it a wonderful time to look at today’s transits. The Channel of Transitoriness (35/36) continues as the undercurrent of the day and I wanted to give a little more information on it since it seems to be active all the time. This channel connects the Throat center with the Solar Plexus center. Gate 35 from my natal bodygram deals with change. From Karen Curry:

There is a maturity rooted in experience with Gate 35. It knows life and knows how to learn what’s necessary. People with Gate 35 are rarely stymied about life. They understand the life experience and can, with little hesitation and limitation, learn just about anything.

The challenge of Gate 35 is finding an experience that can light it up and turn it on. Gate 35 is not inspired by the mundane. It seeks the experience that is worth its investment in time, energy, and resources. Gate 35 offers stories of life rooted in personal experience. You never know what story a person with Gate 35 may be waiting to tell. In the mature expression of this energy, Gate 35 knows that the real gift of the story isn’t in the excitement, it’s in the process, the emotions and the lessons learned.¹

While Gate 35 deals with change, transiting Gate 36 brings energies of crisis.

Gate 36 is always longing for the next new experience. It is plagued by boredom and has a tendency to leap into things without waiting for clarity purely in pursuit of the next new experience.²

When this energy flows smoothly the boredom of Gate 36 is tempered and balanced by Gate 35. But that depends upon alignment with Self. Derailment from that leaves only restless energy for me to deal with and that’s uncomfortable. I view the Channel of Transitoriness as my primary unfocused creative energy that I need to keep in balance so that I can continue creating throughout the day. When I don’t keep that energy in balance, it’s far easier for me to start focusing on and becoming caught up in the drama of others. Then I begin reacting to someone else’s reality, instead of creating my own.

Transits for today again involve the Moon at Gate 30 – desire, Line 4 – burnout, and Mercury at Gate 61 – mystery, and Line 6 – appeal.  The first is easily understandable, as I tend to run about trying to get everything done all at once, with burnout as the eventual result. How I convey inspiration to others in a manner that provides clarity is reflected in Mercury’s transit today. Again, staying aligned in Self is key to keeping my energy flowing nonresistantly so that I don’t become distracted in my communication with others. Otherwise, I would do well to keep silent. Experiencing everything at once, I tend to give too much information when I’m explaining things. Everything at least seems important, and I don’t dare leave anything out. But my expansive way of relating things can be confusing, so embracing Mercury’s influence here really helps my focus.

Tomorrow, I will begin talking about the Centers in which each of the transiting Gates appear, to give a little background on each one as we go along.

Until tomorrow!

~Blessings!
