CORRECTION - The Sun in Gate 18 #HUMANDESIGN #ASTROLOGY #ICHING #TRANSIT

The Sun has now moved into Gate 18, CORRECTION. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called WORK ON WHAT HAS BEEN SPOILT.

This is the energy to CORRECT or tweak something until it is PERFECT. It is about striving for the JOY of PERFECTION.

It is the brilliant energy of the editor. Is there anything worse than reading a book and having a typo thrust you out of the narrative? I hate that. Don’t you hate that? Isn’t there great JOY in experiencing a perfectly edited book?

It is important to note this energy is not necessarily meant to be directed at ourselves. It is meant to be directed outward in a productive way. Turn this energy inward and someone with this definition could pick themselves apart. For there can be a strong splenic fear with this energy of not being PERFECT; the fear that things are not PERFECT. It is also not always best to direct the energy of CORRECTION towards our loved ones. Turn this drive to CORRECT on someone you love and they just might not experience this energy with the loving intention intended. How can we not take criticism from our loved ones personally?

It is hard to hold back though because that intuitive awareness of what to tweak to improve what is not CORRECT is powerful stuff. As with all projected energy, wait for right timing and even better wait for the invitation to offer your insight on how to CORRECT something. It really does make all the difference in how the advice is perceived.

What does the concept of CORRECTION mean to you? When you walk into a room do you immediately zone in on what needs to be tweaked to improve the decor? When you move that pillow just so do you feel JOY? What is the experience of being CORRECTED feel like to you? When you see an opportunity to help someone improve, do you feel compelled to share your advice? Does this come from a place of Love or irritation? Did they ask for your advice? Does that matter? When someone offers their advice do you experience it as helpful or do you feel criticized? Why? How does that make you feel? Are you continually working to improve yourself? Is that good? Or does this make you feel generally IMPERFECT? Is that bad? What does PERFECTION mean to you? Are you afraid of IMPERFECTION?

Thank goodness for those individuals who intuitively know how to tweak something just so to make it sublime. The world needs that does it not?

The Sun has now moved into Gate 18, CORRECTION. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called WORK ON WHAT HAS BEEN SPOILT.

This is one of those lovely energies that gets a bad wrap. I love the intuition to CORRECT or tweak something until it is perfect. It is about striving for perfection and I really can’t get mad at that.

What is important to note however is that this energy really isn’t meant for our family and/or ourselves. Turn this energy inward and we could pick ourselves to death. For there can be a strong fear of not being perfect with this energy. Turn it on our loved ones and they just might not experience this energy to CORRECT with the loving intention intended. Arbitrary criticism never feels good.

But this is brilliant energy for the editor. Is there anything worse than reading a book and having a typo thrust you out of the narrative? I hate that. Don’t you hate that? Isn’t there great JOY in experiencing a perfectly edited book? Because the gate on the other end of this channel is called JOY. Do you see why?

As with all projected energy, wait for right timing and even better wait for the invitation to offer your insight on how to CORRECT something. It really does make all the difference in how the advice is perceived.

This is especially important during this transit where the Earth is also transiting in Gate 17, OPINIONS. You can see how the urge to express your OPINIONS while you also very strongly have the urge to CORRECT things that aren’t perfect might get you into a little hot water this week. Tread lightly. Be kind.

Also, try to be understanding when you find yourself on the other end of this energy. Decide right now to automatically assume all advice is coming from a place of love this week.

Understand that this energy to strive for perfection is a good thing. Just don’t let it tie you into knots about not being perfect. It is easy to become distracted by the flaws around us. Take the time to figure out if those flaws are any of your business.

This is one of those periods that is great for recognizing what isn’t working in your life and tweaking things for the better. Why do you have your television in that spot that cricks your neck every night? What can you do to CORRECT that rather than continue to live with it?

Do you see the joy that can be had from making the slightest tweak for the better?

Transiting: September 26 through October 1, 2017

Transiting today, Tuesday, September 26, 2017 through Sunday, October 1, 2017 in beautiful Los Angeles, CA:

The Sun is in Gate 18, CORRECTION, and the Earth is in Gate 17, OPINIONS. So we intuitively know when something is off and how to tweak it in order to improve its quality. This is an opportunity for excellence. The energy of the book editor. Does it not suck the joy out of reading when we come across a typo? So frustrating. We need this energy for correction in the world to experience that specific joy of a typo free, well edited book. What's grounding us during this time also are our opinions. We are FULL of strong opinions but ironically, these are not necessarily correct opinions, they're just opinions.

Long story short, there is STRONG energy here for MANSPLAINING and yes, FEMSPLAINING. Hoo boy, do we want to tell people something about something this week!

Tread softly my friends. We will be compelled to point out flaws and offer our, hopefully intuitive, opinions on how to correct them. Being on the other end of that can feel like criticism and criticism never feels good. Be mindful of other people's feelings. Always ask them if they would be interested in your advice first. Better yet, just stop yourself entirely from indulging in this impulse with your friends and family. There is too much opportunity for hurt feelings when it feels personal. Since this energy is transiting for us all, you will probably find yourself on the other end of this as well. Be patient with your loved ones and try to maintain the perspective that it's not personal. Because it's not. Try not to be defensive. If you're able to step away from that feeling of being criticized, you just might realize the advice is actually quite stellar.

At work you have the opportunity this week to really impress with your intuitive insights on how to improve procedures. Go for it. Just make sure the timing feels correct. When you approach the topic start with "I have some ideas about [INSERT CRAPPY PROCEDURE HERE], would this be a good time to run them past you?" On the other side of that coin, If you're a manager, this is the week for an extremely productive brainstorming session. Ask your staff for their opinions about things and be prepared to color yourself impressed.

Last but not least. We all know how difficult it can be to control the urge to troll something annoying or wrong on Social Media on our best days. Be aware that this energy for CORRECTION and OPINIONS will feed into that compulsion. Be methodical in your approach to posting comments.Take a breath. Step away. Come back and if you still feel your comments would be productive, go ahead. But please try not to be part of the problem. The absolute best of intentions have the potential to be grossly misinterpreted during this time. Tone is never easy to decipher.

Above all else, be kind.
