“Do you think everything happens for a reason?”
After viewing my astrology chart as something that describes my life literally, and seen over and again events be transits of planets on both the geographic place and the natal and progressed “birth chart” of a location, I’m fairly sure all sh*t that happens is a version of destiny.
We are after all, probabilistic electron clouds held together by boson, energies. We are 4% matter with form and density from Saturn and have planetary qualities. Earth’s gravity (or pressure – if in space) holds us together.
Energetically there isn’t any real separation between you and me other than our language and ingrained belief systems which create and verbalize expectations.
How we interpret our visible world using rods, cones, a lens and optic pathways to “see” and our ears to hear (and all the senses) –has been honed by our ancestral lineage for generations depending on the land we ‘mastered’.
How we experience others’ behaviors and actions are our projections and often/usually interpreted by our respected elders. Because negative stuff is painful, usually we focus on that which we don’t like – but can also be our assets. Water seeks its own level too – besides being ‘water beings’, we match each other emotionally (at least on the inside, if not outside).
Once you get a visceral response going, it’s hard to regain a calm, rational, and logical mindset. How the next little while unfolds, depends on how well we stay collected. Few are aware how profoundly affected we are by “authority figures”- those who are physically intimidating, taller, lighter – or uniformed. We basically shut down and become like children.
(And it turns out those authority figures are “used” to ‘us’- that is, our demographic, becoming humbled just by their presence. When we aren’t, they can get confused and belligerent, so unglued in their way too.)
Where free will comes in is how we feel about, interpret, and deal with stuff- the planets as actual people. Language is at the root all three. The language we speak as well as our inner voice- which has been programmed.
Immersed in a world of power struggles, where daily discourse is focused on games, crises, or politics, we often interpret challenging events similarly- in terms of winners and losers or smart vs. stupid (which I think of as stoop-ed – focused on the ground and not looking up). We focus on the moment and not the bigger picture.
If we’re more nature-based, it’s a little easier to take a step back.
When could see ‘events’ as “wake up call”, we’ll see it from an utterly different perspective. Everyone present at an ‘event’ has a chart that suggests their level of participation btw.
Because astrologically, we’ve been ‘waiting our whole life for this moment’, It is helpful to remember h’onoponopono when something personal affects us. To make it easier say, “I love you”.” I am sorry”. “Please forgive me”. “Thank you!“
Or take the eagle’s view who ‘sees’ past, present, and future. Everything can be healed.
While things happen that are painful, unfair and unjust, they are ‘meant’ by the universe to guide- or shove us, in a different direction than the path we’ve been on.
I know these aren’t easy words, but that’s the nature of reality as I see and experience it.
