“We are now imagining a new orientation aligned with the reality of our interconnection,” they write (Wisdom Collective). “This requires new compass points, new operating systems, and new ways of navigating these in-between times.” ~Wisdom Collective, Daily Good 6.4.26
It is necessary in these moments of chaos and confusion, of not knowing, to examine our humanity. As individuals on our way to fuller understanding and therefore deeper connection, we take stock of our priorities, our reactions and our actions. Being observant of all the similarities that we are rather than the differences. Knowing that one person’s struggle is/was my own. Having patience knowing that presence, beyond the individual sense of need is what is most needed in our interactions and relationships. Am I listening?
The ability to listen takes us deeper, not just with other people but also with animals and all of nature. We are deeply caring and compassionate when our differences are discarded, our conditioning that often isolates us, is shed. The walls disintegrate and we find we touch each other in the vastness of unconditional love.
“Listening reminds me how precious it is to be here at all. And so, listening is the first step to peace, both inner peace and the compassion that connects people.” ~Mark Nepo, Seven Thousand Ways to Listen
When we listen deeply we engage sensing as well. The ability to feel beyond the superficial layers of another human being to a place where there is the profound essence of our true being. The ‘one’ inherent and yet denied, the one that offers us liberation if and when we decide we want freedom; to step out of our familiar and to fully embrace Life. Am I sensing?
Am I engaging with all that I came in with to guide me through this life time? We cannot help now, except to look inward and explore our creative nature that everyone is, regardless of how we judge our selves. Our judgment is based on conditioning, that which we are leaving behind. Why leave it behind? It often does not allow us to enter that domain of everything possible. When I am free to travel unencumbered I am free to greet myself aligned with the magic of the Universe. Am I engaging?
It is exciting to know that before we set ‘new compass points, new operating systems and new ways of navigating these in-between times’ we will be required to free-fall toward what has yet to be experienced. And, it is not possible to imagine with certainty, what awaits us. The answers will appear. No need to find them. A clear mind is open to every nuance.
“To attend to transformation, we must attend to language itself, evolving the consciousness from which our words emerge.” ~Daily Good 6.4.26
There is no doubt that the old structures of identification are evolving and that shifting global communication will lead to new solutions for issues that have long existed here. These changes “reflect a collective consciousness that is moving away from strict separation, static categories and individual isolation”. ~ScienceDirect.com May 2022
We must allow ourselves to understand that if we feel moments of disorientation it may be due to the disappearance of what we have come to rely on. Quiet the mind, breathe and allow the ever present knowing, the inner voice to be your guide. Come to trust this and life expands in all directions.

The Sabian Symbol for 22 degrees Cancer is: a woman awaiting a sailboat. The meaning of which is, a time for patience and trust as we wait for the wind, a metaphor for trusting the universe that is the flow ofLife. Brings all things to us rather than us labouring to make something happen.
With July’s intensity, based on the Mars-Uranus conjunction early on and two small talent trines involving Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter forming a cradle, the overall energy shifts everything further from the familiar into regions unknown. The Jupiter opposition to Pluto, truth or control–truth/wisdom and transformation.
Neptune in Aries is retrograde now and requires us to dive deeper into inquiry that further illuminates Self. The New Moon in Cancer, a water sign allows us to traverse this terrain expertly. Cancer, empathic and intuitive is adept at listening, sensing and engaging in ways that often bypass language. Through deeper connection they offer themselves to others in a sensitive and caring way; that is to say the potential for bypassing the ego to reach into the vastness of our inter-existence.
Venus the planet of personal values and relationships, our desire nature, is at the point of a ‘yod’ formed by quincunx aspects from the outer planets Neptune sextile Uranus. Collective evolution meets our personal vision. The 150 degree angles from these outer planets represent energies that are moving with the inherent, universal flow. If we are operating from an ego-based experience we are not necessarily in a position to benefit from this configuration often referred to as ‘the finger of God’.
A finger of God offers us opportunity to connect with the higher octave of a planet at the apex. In this case the emphasis for Venus in refined Virgo is to be of service of course, but in such a way that all energies shared are those inherent within us. There is an endless abundance that allows one to continue sharing without exhaustion or compromising one’s well being.
Our task at this time is to open our selves to this level of creative interrelationship. It requires vulnerability, trust and compassion obviously bypassing judgment and self doubt. Most of all it asks us to be present, a tough assignment if we are used to superficial ways of interacting. That is not a criticism. So many of our ways of behaving are conditioned—through fear, peer pressure and/or cultural norms.
Cancer can be one to hold onto what is familiar and comfortable due to its own flavour of insecurity. This is an opportunity to again, look within, to discover what might be limiting you based on any of the above. We are beginning to really notice the error of our ways for hanging out on shaky ground. Best that we not resist and become unsettled when the rug is pulled from beneath our feet!

(*AI was employed only in an interesting discussion to determine evidence to support the evolution of our language. An example being the shift from simple male/female identification to one which includes many more possibilities.)
