The Sun is now transiting Gate 55 SPIRIT or FAITH. In I-Ching this hexagram is called ABUNDANCE.

This energy is about trusting that the universe will provide.

A tricky pickle this. We are raised to believe we create our own wealth and abundance through hard work and determination. Trusting in SPIRIT however means letting go and allowing the abundance of the universe to provide what we need, when we need it.

Or not. As with all energy in the chart the keynote is a theme and in this case, ABUNDANCE is the theme whether it means totally lacking trust in SPIRIT and always scraping by OR trusting in SPIRIT to provide and appreciating the ABUNDANCE ever present in this life. This is the particular lesson someone with SPIRIT defined in their chart needs to learn. Because when you trust in SPIRIT, ABUNDANCE is magnetically drawn to you.

Easier said than done. SPIRIT you say? Many of us struggle with that concept alone. But no matter what you believe in, whether it be SPIRIT, GOD, the UNIVERSE, or CHAOS THEORY; for your own sanity you really must have faith that things will somehow work out for the best. Otherwise, why get up in the morning?

This Gate teaches us we will be rewarded for that faith.

Do you trust that things will work out? Or are you white knuckling this life, grasping at what you want, and feeling unlucky all the time? Do you have control? Why not? Do you have faith in SPIRIT? What would happen if you just let go? What would happen if you recognized and appreciated what you already have? Are you concentrating on what is lacking instead? Why? Do you believe the Universe is working for you or against you? Why? Are you lacking in ABUNDANCE? Are you sure? What exactly does ABUNDANCE mean to you? Is there enough ABUNDANCE to go around? If you are ABUNDANT does that mean someone else is not? Do you deserve ABUNDANCE in your life? Do you deserve to have SPIRIT looking out for you? Who does, if not you?
