The Sacred Cycles
We are not separate from nature. We are a part of her sacred rhythms. Our energy centers are like a divine stem, rooting us into the Earth and reaching up toward the Sky. We are connected to every season physically and energetically. Spring, a new beginning, Summer our peak light, Fall a time of harvesting the fruits of the seeds we planted in the spring, and Winter a time of rest and reflection. We are able to connect with these seasonal energetics through the elements ether, air, fire, water, earth, wood. We are connected to the Solar Cycle, the masculine energy within each one of us a 12 month rhythm where the sun sits in an astrological sign illuminating a particular aspect of ourselves for a whole month. The Lunar Cycle, a 4 week rhythm, the feminine energy within each one of us, the moon changes phases and signs almost every other day but every two weeks offers a New Moon intention and a Full moon illumination.
Our bodies have evolved with all of these cycles. Today we can find ourselves very removed from them, but the more we tune into these sacred cycles, the more we tune into different aspects of ourselves. There is a misconception in astrology that you are just your sun sign. We each carry every sign within us. Like phone numbers have the same 9 numbers available and many different sequences are created from these same numbers. Think of each sign as an ingredient. Many recepies require flour but they all come out differently.
The cycles may seem separate, but they are all working together in harmony. Each Earth Season has about 3 Solar Cycles. Springtime is a journey from Aries initiations, to Taurus Building, to Gemini Expansion. Summer moves us from Cancer heart healing to Leo heart shining to Virgo harvest and refinement. Fall is a journey from Libra relationships to Scorpio shadow work to Sagittarious philosopher. Winter
