What mysteries may be revealed in Retreat?
We're transiting Gate 33 from July 30 - August 4
IN SILENCE THERE IS ELOQUENCE. STOP WEAVING AND SEE HOW THE PATTERN IMPROVES. ~ Rumi
Revelation of Secrets
This Solar Transit brings us to the last gate in the Quarter of Civilization. This cycle brought the potential to get things done, build things, make things, and articulate.
Retreat marks the end of this cycle. And, built into all endings is a moment of silence for considering every aspect of the experience. This gate is one of the three stop codons in your genetic code. Is it time to take pause and reflect?
This energy reminds me of the archetypal wise storyteller, who contemplates all sides of an experience and then shares the underlying secrets that can be learned.
What potential mysteries may be revealed during this transit?
Retreat arises in that moment of uncertainty between a completed experience, and a new one, as you pause to reflect on what has happened; determine what to take forward; consider what to let go of; and renew your strength.
It’s in these quiet moments of contemplation that your most valuable lessons can come to the surface and reveal a truth.
Like the Prodigal, you mature over a lifetime, and your realm of influence expands as you move through each new cycle of experience.
You don’t have to think of retreating as a sign of weakness or failure, instead a confident retreat can that produce success.
Nature occasionally turns back to regenerate, rather than always displaying obvious forward growth.
Skillful retreat can truly be a sign of intelligence and strength.
It’s human nature to share the lessons of experience and share what has been learned. And, the experience can be one of your own, or another’s, or even that of a group of people; the process is the same.
When the time is ripe, you’ll be asked to share your wisdom, which then becomes part of the greater community and humanity’s evolving consciousness.
“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.”
