Gate 40, Aloneness – Deliverance

August 28 - September 3

WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH? 

LIFE IS A BALANCE OF HOLDING ON AND LETTING GO.
~ RUMI

This Solar Transit brings the energy for the transition between struggle and liberation.

Gate 40 supports the effort and energy to sustain relationships, while also demanding the freedom to take time to nurture yourself through rest.

We’re still in the Quarter of Duality, where the focus is on relationships. Gate 37 brings us into the heart of the Tribe. It is about family, friendship, loyalty, and the agreements that hold us together.

AND sustained effort requires rest.

There is an energetic exchange in every relationship. Giving support and being supported. Providing for others and allowing yourself to receive. Knowing when you have something to give and knowing when you need to step away and replenish yourself.

Do you find yourself overextending yourself for others?

Are you being asked to do more right now? Are you giving away your talents, your time, or your energy because you feel you should?

Are you being asked to prove that you’re loyal?

Sometimes we can confuse love with always being available.

Love yourself by learning to say no when there isn’t energy for something. This simple, but not easy, task helps to keep healthy boundaries, so your energy isn’t depleted.

And sometimes the most loving thing you can do is to give yourself permission to be alone.

Deliverance is not about escaping the people you love. It is about freeing yourself from anything that keeps you from being fully present when you are with them.

Life isn’t designed to be as hard as you may sometimes make it.

Whatever is blocking you from moving effortlessly and joyfully through life can be disarmed by letting go of expectations or mental stories that distract you from your own authority in life.

Will you surrender to the beautiful flow of your existence by being loyal to yourself first?

By doing so, there will be enough of you to be loyal to those you hold close.

Love Yourself,
