Gate 2, Direction of The Self – The Receptive
May 3 - 8
Is it time to be receptive and surrender to the direction of your Higher Self?
This transit brings potential to ‘spark’ a new direction.
The Sun now enters The Receptive, an energy that can align you to your trajectory in life – this gate is known as ‘the driver.’
It also brings your experience of love of the other as you literally breath love in and out with each breath. And, it can lead to pleasure, beauty and harmony. It’s potential to creatively express yourself … and inspire those around you to find their own way of creatively being in the world.
The ancients may have referred to this energy as the ‘Higher Self.’ It’s the very essence of your direction or trajectory through life. When you allow life to flow to you and through you your higher self knows the path that is correct. Higher Knowing is found in everyone’s direction of self toward love and beauty. It’s the driver of our body and mind through this life.
The Receptive consists of all Yin lines and represents the power of the feminine principle and a receptivity that is more powerful and healing than it’s given credit for in our modern times.
What would it feel like to be receptive and spacious like the vast blue ocean? Will you let the river of changes flow to you? Or, are you too attached to what you believe you want, when life is bringing you what you need? Look around to see what life is saying to you right now.
Is it possible to strive for a natural responsiveness that is based on inner strength rather than outer bravado? You may be able to go further by letting go of control and not fighting the currents.
It’s often in the things that you can’t change that you discover life’s power to guide you the most.
It’s a time to be creatively receptive to what is unfolding while the Sun and Earth are engaged in this beautiful dance of balance. Receptive (feminine) power arises through alignment with the Creative (masculine) power, not in opposition to it. It can be so beautiful.
