“Consciousness affects everything. If actions have consequences (and we know that they do), those consequences are not a result of our actions alone, but where our heart resides as those acts are conceived.”
~ Karen Berg on the portion of Tazria-Metzora
This week is the last week in the month of Aries, leading us into the new energy of Taurus. Aries is a fire sign, kabbalistically known to carry the internal energy of water. Water is an emotional and intuitive element, which we want to activate this week as much as possible, so we don’t fall into the potentially insensitive, impulsive, and reactive aspects of the sign of Aries.
The first cosmic aspect this week to support us is Venus forming a good aspect with Jupiter (both in water signs). When Venus and Jupiter connect in a supportive aspect, they elevate the level of care, generosity, and gratitude in our lives. This aspect can have a great influence on all our relationships, helping us to open our hearts and elevate all our relationships to the next level. This aspect is also extremely supportive of any financial growth. It’s a good week to negotiate and form business partnerships with the potential for mutual growth and financial gain.
On Wednesday, Mercury moves into Aries (where it will stay in Aries for a few weeks), elevating the confrontational, argumentative nature of our communication. We’ll want to watch out for any urges to try to be right in every conversation. The best advice is to walk into every conversation already mindful that you want to listen more than you want to speak. Ask for the Creator’s help to focus on sharing, caring, kindness, and unity rather than your own personal agenda or any need to show off.
The week ends with the New Moon in Taurus, ushering us into the calmer, more balanced energy of Taurus. The element of earth is activated, and we can infuse ourselves, our loved ones, and the entire world with powerful healing energy. The combination of the power of Shabbat and the New Moon in the sign of Taurus sends very high-vibration healing all over the world. We just need to activate it with our prayers and meditations.
