11 Serpent, Wednesday

Today the energy focus is on survival, both physical and financial. However, do not react from a place of fear -- go deeper.

Tune into the life force in your body today.

Your cellular impulses are adjusted by whatever direction is taken by your attention and imagination. This adaptation to your vision is an instinctive process.

Do not underestimate the power of your life force, the deepest level of desire you have.

The door into this base energy opens for you today. The Serpent life force has an instinctive intelligence that can lead you in the best direction for your survival and flourishment.

Adjustment, adaptability, improvement and some gentle releasing as you allow your higher intelligence to direct your energy towards the actions you need to take.

I was sent this article (below) this morning and it feels very pertinent to the times we are in and to 11 Serpent.
The anti-intellectualism we are experiencing is due to the intense emotional friction and the saying 'I do not give a fuck'  seems to be very popular...

"we've added a lot more mental clutter, a lot more obligation and therefore a lot more mental anxiety and a lot more guilt and those are the things I'm trying to pare down in my life by not over committing "

The adjustments we are having to make involve knowing what to let go and 11 Serpent, is an opportunity to feel into the important things in your life, by seeing where your energy is being sapped unnecessarily...

How to declutter your life by not giving a fuck

Of course that is not the end of the process, taken to the Nth degree 'not giving a fuck' leads to nihilism for we have to find what we truly care about, which starts with those we love and the world we live in. Cynicism towards much of the mainstream seems to be a healthy emotion in this epoch, and decluttering our mind of outdated conditioning regarding the present social system is an important part of being the change we wish to see.

What about the pursuit of happiness? This seems to be a flawed idea for this period at least, a pursuit of happiness will push it away, pursuing happiness through money, status, unending pleasure, perpetual bliss and inspiration, is not really appropriate to the present condition. As ever, looking to live with a sense of purpose, without to much fanfare would appear to be our best option. First things first declutter, Jupiter retrograde in Virgo on the Node, speaks of this.
