8 Serpent

Hold steady.

Bringing intelligence into form requires daily discipline. Our intentions, desires and goals come with the challenge of living them day by day, paying the price to be paid and sustaining them long after the excitement has worn off.

The impermanence of excitement leads us to novelty addiction and confusion about what we actually want, as well as an apathy regarding what we really want due to the effort and illusory nature of all form, as well as the dissatisfaction we sometimes feel about what we get.

All entities are responsible through universal decree for their own survival and flowering. Survival and the perpetual game of creating one’s life could be viewed as a monotony.

However, the enlightening truth is that life is a constant celebration.

Today, make the effort to emotionally commit to keeping your party rocking through accepting that you need what you need.

Keep your party rocking!

[Note from Carey: In Hong Kong, the exact time of this Full Moon was at 0420 this morning, with the total lunar eclipse most visible between 0330 and 0514. (See yesterday’s post for more details.

Interestingly, there was also a total lunar eclipse on 8 Serpent of 15 June 2011. This is what Laurence wrote then, for that eclipse, much of which is still relevant to us for today’s 8 Serpent eclipse:]

The Eclipse
The caveat is a question: Are you in your power... enough?

Do you feel connected to the vital energy in your body? The truth is we are always needing to step more into our true power, incrementally. So today you may recognize that you need to commit to living a life that feels more vital. This is emphasized by the Eclipse.

The eclipse today … brings a disruptive energy. It is urging us all to aspire to be more and to live life with a greater vision. It promises to throw a light on our own areas of discomfort, where we know we are not living fully.

The full effect of any eclipse materializes gradually over the following few months. So today if you feel really uncomfortable and restless – if you feel that your life is stuck in a rebound effect of reaction, distraction and superficial entertainment – then call upon your power to emerge more fully over the rest of this year. Make a deep commitment to stop chasing your tail; be prepared to jump off the hamster wheel. Allow your life to be led by the inner knowing that is in accord with your vital life force: Survive and Flourish.

Give yourself a few months, rather than trying to do it today, which just sets you up for failure.

The Eclipse energy will unfold over the next few months up to the Winter Solstice, normal patterns are meant to be disrupted.

Tomorrow, 9 Skull, you should wake up knowing what has to change in your life.
