In Presence, We See Past Illusion

Before I begin, I wanted to send blessings of love and healing to all of my LGBT friends and family. It’s sometimes in tragedy that we understand how important and necessary we are to each other. We cannot lose our love and compassion because both will see us through these impossible moments that happen all too often these days. Our true enemy is fear and hate, not a killer’s religious preference. We should resist all temptation to become that fear, that hate, and come together as the one family that we, in truth, are.

And with that, I’ll continue with the post, I read that Neptune retrogrades today. I never worry about such things but I thought I’d see its impact in my chart anyway. I actually use two separate astrology programs, Time Passages and Solar Fire. Sometimes they differ so either I don’t have the parameters set up exactly the same, or it’s something obvious that I’m not seeing, but I try to focus on one or the other. Today I’m focusing primarily on the Solar Fire version of the chart, but the North Node information is from the Time Passages chart.

As Neptune transits in Pisces, my focus continues to be on alternative forms of medicine, in my case, herbs. There may be some conflict between my rational mind and my emotions. Please. I’m a Crone. And it also suggests that I should be focused both on personal transformation and more outward pursuits.

In opposition with the North Node, Neptune’s transiting energies suggest that I stay present in the moment and to avoid overindulgence. Stay aligned on my spiritual path.

My Moon trines both Mercury and Vesta making communication and decisions easy. Vesta involves ritual and acknowledges its importance in my life as a means of connection with Goddess presence. Today’s transits suggest nurturing of self.

From my Human Design bodygram, Neptune transits at Gate 63 Doubt Line 1 Composure. I question everything. It’s not that I doubt everything necessarily, but that I sense when energy gets funky. At that point, I want to know what’s not being said. So I’ll feel in for the answer. I feel for a pattern, for a resonance, and then I know what’s going on.

Neptune is all about cutting through illusion and revelation of truth. Nuance and subtly are key because sometimes truth lies in what isn’t said. It’s found in the carefully chosen word. At that point, resonance drives revelation. If it feels off, then it is. Neptune cautions us to slow down, align, ground, and then know.

The Moon transits at Gate 18 Correction Line 1 Conservatism supporting our intuitive awareness in problem solving. According to the I Ching, this Gate suggests “work on what has been spoilt”. Deception from others can be considered what has been spoilt, as it stops (spoils) the flow of trust between people. The empath seeks to correct this imbalance by bringing truth to bear. In fact, it’s an automatic, almost visceral response in a empath.

With Channels of Charisma (an Integration circuit channel) and the Brain Wave (a Knowing circuit channel) active today as well, my empathic, intuitive awareness is reinforced. Conservatism is welcome so that an empath remains aligned without jumping into the fray and losing awareness gained. In my case as a Generator-type personality, response in lieu of initiation is always required and is essential for any empath to remain aligned and not derailed by the emotional state of others.

Karen Curry tells us about the Channels present in my chart today:

Channel 34/ 20: Charisma This is the most powerful channel in the Human Design system, which brings sustainable, generated energy to the Throat. This channel is the archetype of the Manifesting Generator, as it is the only channel that directly connects the Sacral Center to the Throat. Power and charisma are contained within this channel, but because it is connected to the Sacral, true power in this channel is expressed in response. That means that even though these people are very, very powerful in a sustainable way, they cannot truly live out their powerful destiny unless they respond.¹

And,

Channel 57/ 20: The Brainwave Gate 57 and Gate 20 are both part of several circuits, so the wiring in this channel is quite complex. In the Knowing Circuit these energies function differently than in other circuits.

This channel is pure intuition to the Throat Center. Its awareness is penetrating, splenic, and in the now. When people with this energy speak, they speak from their intuition and a sense of what is to come in the future.²

The Channel of Beat is also transiting today but it has more to do with acquiring resources, primarily money and the intuitive process involved in that. But clearly this influence by Neptune will be felt not just by me but by empaths everywhere. So stay aligned in Higher Self presence. We’ll know far more if we do.

Blessed Be
