“No Light we reveal or positive action we take ever goes to waste. As a matter of fact, the kabbalists teach that when our positive actions do manifest, only a tiny part of our potential is revealed, while when we invest energy in somebody or something and it doesn’t manifest at the time we wanted it to or hoped it would, that Light awakened is actually stronger and will, over time, reveal greater Light…”
– Michael Berg on the portion of Matot
This week holds a very powerful spiritual lesson that is expressed through the planetary alignment.
At the moment, the Sun is in the sign of Cancer, and for most of the week it forms a strong, tight, challenging aspect with the planet Saturn. When Saturn comes in contact with any planet in a difficult aspect, it reveals its harsh, strict, and overly serious nature. The challenge for us this week will be found in moments where we don’t see results yet, or we experience unfavorable results which don’t fit our desired standards.
This week, we can fall into self-judgment, resulting in beating ourselves up or being too hard on ourselves. This is the time to hold on tight to Michael’s message from the portion of Matot and understand that everything in life has a divine timing.
Be aware of when you are setting an unrealistic expectation for yourself that can lead to frustration and self-doubt! To ready yourself for this spiritual battle, I recommend doing everything in your power to access the opposite energy and loosen up! Try not to take yourself too seriously.
This week, spend some time doing things that put you at ease. Every day, find a little time to do something relaxing, fun, and joyful. Watch a funny movie, read a joke before going to sleep, or play a silly game with your kids or friends. Finding time for laughter and loosening up can help us all defeat the potentially challenging, harsh, self-critical energy of the square aspect between the Sun and Saturn.
