“Have you ever been walking down the street, maybe feeling a little discouraged even, when suddenly you cross paths with someone who has the biggest smile across their face? In an instant, you feel better. The positive vibration bounces off of you, and you, too, find yourself in an ear-to-ear grin. That is the power of joy. And thanks to the energy that permeates the cosmos this week, we can all get a good dose of it…To live with joy is to see the Light, even in our darkness. It is to know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that even in the depths of our despair or the throes of a most difficult moment, the universe is somehow rearranging things so that I can be led to a better way of life.”
~ Karen Berg on the portion of Ki Tavo
This week, as we get closer to Rosh Hashanah and the beginning of the kabbalistic year (which occurs during the first two days of the month of Libra), we get a boost of uplifting energy that allows us to see the Light and experience joy and freedom no matter what comes our way.
During the month of Elul (Virgo), we are encouraged to look deep within and seek out what requires change and internal transformation.
This process can be depleting or frustrating at times, leaving a note of heavy feelings. This week, the cosmos aligns to help us rise above throughout this process and awaken joy, inspiration, and motivation. First of all, we get a boost from Uranus and Neptune, which form a supportive aspect. This positive aspect helps us realize our dreams. We can manifest our vision into a freer and more creative future with the openness to see things in ways we have never been open to before. We all need a fresh perspective at times, and this aspect helps us achieve it.
Monday and Tuesday, and part of Wednesday, the Moon visits the sign of Aries. This allows it to form other supportive aspects with Venus, Uranus, and Pluto. This is a boost of confidence, optimism, energy, strength, and power to transform deeply. It's also an aspect that allows us to connect with others and cast ourselves in a favorable light. So go out, engage, share your ideas, present yourself, and use your charm to lead positive change.
On Wednesday until the end of the week, as the Sun progresses in the sign of Virgo, it comes conjunct with Mercury and forms a positive aspect with Jupiter in Cancer. This is a more grounded aspect, powerful for any travel, learning, business, or legal matters. This is also an aspect that can present a major opportunity for growth. But remember, only when you smile, see the good, and come to situations with an attitude of gratitude and joy can those aspects be activated and manifest greatly in your life.
