It is the Shabbat of the wall; the wall between any previous negativity or darkness and the Light that’s going to be revealed on Shavuot, the Light of Immortality. It’s really a powerful and beautiful understanding of why Shabbat Bamidbar always comes before Shavuot: it comes to be that wall. But, of course, in order for that wall to be built, we have to connect to it, understand it, and ask for it.”
– Michael Berg on the portion of Bamidbar
This is a powerful week that signifies endings and beginnings as the cosmos prepares for the beginning of a new era, both personally and globally. The week begins with Saturn's movement into the sign of Aries, which presents many transformative spiritual opportunities. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, and Saturn is starting a new cycle around the Zodiac calendar—a cycle that begins approximately every 30 years.
One such opportunity gives us the courage and strength to pursue something that we have always wanted but didn’t have the courage to begin. Saturn in Aries is another force that helps us believe in ourselves, take our soul’s journey more seriously, and do something about it.
These celestial placements might slow us down, and this is all for good. We are encouraged to take our time in areas where we usually lack patience or endurance. This time around, be more responsible and serious about following your individualistic spiritual path.
As the Sun moved into the sign of Gemini recently, we also witnessed a powerful trine (supportive aspect) between the Sun and Uranus, which occurs during the first two days of the week. This also highlights our individuality. Uranus always brings a wave of freedom and detachment from the old. This aspect supports Michael’s point this week: the extraordinary power of this week’s spiritual kabbalistic energy is the power to build a wall between the past (what does not serve us anymore) and new opportunities that will come around next week during the holiday of Shavuot. Think: a complete and ultimate unification with the Lightforce of the Creator.
Last week, we mentioned the powerful trine between Mars and Venus. This strong connection continues this week, awakening the ability to create stronger bonds with our loved ones and attract greater abundance into our lives. The topics of love and money are highlighted this week, so pay attention to how things play out and what opportunities show up in your path.
