“This week, take notice of the moments you are inclined to hear that voice which whispers, ‘Do only for yourself,' and activate your free will to choose to 'do for others' instead. It is this simple (but not always easy) choice that can give us control over our thoughts and the ability to overpower negativity with positivity, both within ourselves and for the world.”
– Karen Berg on the Portion of Ki Tetze
Every week of the month of Virgo is an important spiritual step towards Rosh Hashanah. This week is all about our internal war. Therefore, we will be faced with many opportunities to make the more elevated choice in every given moment.
As Jupiter resides in the sign of Cancer for an entire year, this week it forms a powerful, positive alignment with the North Node in Pisces. The North Node represents our mutual tikkune, the yearly focus for transformation. We are encouraged to elevate our frequency to the more spiritual energy that both Cancer and Pisces offer. The right choice this week will always be choosing the route of compassion, empathy, and kindness. As Cancer and Pisces are both water signs that have the potential to be very intuitive, in tune, and sensitive to other people’s needs and struggles, this week we want to elevate our ability to feel others, offer support, and help wherever we can.
This week, we also witness the powerful trine between Uranus and Pluto (both in air signs), signaling us to be open-minded, go with the flow, and ready for change. We might face a choice that is untraditional for how we usually show up. We might get an opportunity to take on a project or accept an offer that feels a bit different than what we are used to. This week, take a deep internal look and revisit all your “definitely no” responses. The things that arise may be blessings in disguise. Consider making the untraditional choice.
As the Moon transits into the sign of Capricorn on Tuesday (until Thursday) this week, we might feel a bit closed off, rigid, detached, and overly practical. (The Moon does not naturally thrive in Capricorn as a result of its more rigid nature.) On these specific days, it will be powerful to meet this challenge and push yourself to be more vulnerable and open and expose how you truly feel.
This is a great week with many powerful opportunities to align with supportive cosmic energies and work together with the spiritual powers this portion has to offer.
