Transit energy update: Sun in Gate 6 calling us for a deeper connection and intimacy with ourselves.

Dropping your defences: Let there be nothing you can't admit to yourself

Right now we are being called to be radically honest with ourselves. To drop our defences and be open, vulnerable and truthful. We currently have a transit in Gate 6, which embodies the gift of creating intimacy and vulnerability with others. As I am writing this, I am feeling called to invite us all to create a deeper, realer and more intimiate relationship with ourselves. 

This transit is generating greater self awareness of our emotional experience, and to notice the seeds of inner conflict or turbulence that could be inhibiting our own inner peace. No longer having blind spots or even turning a blind eye on our most vulnerable, fragile fragments of self. Being so curious, open and loving that there is nothing you can't admit.  When you are this inviting, forgiving and unjudgmental with yourself - true self acceptance and love is born. Showing your inner child and body that nothing will halt the unconditional love you have for yourself. From this place, you can truly heal.

Ask yourself: What inner turmoil, friction or conflict present within you? Maybe parts of yourself that you are not allowing to be expressed or emotions unprocessed. Maybe you haven't listened to your intuitive knowing, and instead bulldozed over with your mind. Maybe it is something that you know you need to look at, but are too afraid of. Maybe places where you are forcing and making things harder than they need to be. All of this self inquiry is just about being honest with yourself and having an open dialogue. You don't have to “fix” anything or act on this information. But at least your body knows it is safe to express itself.   

Gate 6 originates from the solar plexus, which holds our emotional experience. This gate is a source of feelings, moods and sensitivity, so emotional friction may emerge at this time. How can you be in your experience, process and digest it all. We can get so busy that we don't take the time to give ourselves a moment to respond of how we are actually doing. When was the last time you stopped, gave yourself a long embrace and said “what do you need?”. Again this is not about “fixing” it but just honouring your real experience.

You may be questioning or thinking deeply about your relationships and the dynamics you find yourself in. Maybe a little more emotionally reactive right now. This is an invitation to be more vulnerable from the heart, rather than lashing out of fear or reactivity. Remember, your peace is internally generated, and can exist regardless of what is happening outside. Once we realise that no one can take our peace, and the only thing that can truly disturb our peace is our own fears, barriers and protective mechanisms. 

When you feel your heart close, take a moment, pause and overload yourself with compassion. Be open to what it is showing you. Whenever you are triggered in relationship, get curious. This is not their wrong-doing, they are inviting you into a greater healing of a fear or internal conflict within yourself. We don't want to be fighting for things that don’t matter or projecting unresolved emotions onto others -  so tread with caution here.

This week, be so raw with yourself, so loving and meet yourself fully. Remember nothing is so dire or scary that you can't at least have an open dialogue with yourself about it. Your relationship with yourself will always be most important, so create the time and space to really go there.

Sending you love!
