THE TREASURER - The Sun in Gate 21 - #HUMANDESIGN #TRANSITS #ASTROLOGY #ICHING

The Sun has now traveled to Gate 21, THE TREASURER, CONTROL, or SELF REGULATION. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called BITING THROUGH. 

This is the energy for CONTROLLING resources so that we have what we need when we need it.

CONTROL is definitely part of the theme and it can play out as being overly CONTROLLING or it can play out as being CONTROLLED. The goal really is to find that balance in the middle and to understand the need for being in CONTROL can either come from a place of lack or a place of abundance. If it is coming from a place of lack, there can be a compulsive need to be in CONTROL to feel safe.

This energy is not intended to be directed towards our loved ones by the way. It is simply a wonderful skill that should be directed in a healthy manner towards protecting resources, not people.

If this week is your birthday and CONTROL is defined by the Sun at the time of your birth, embrace this talent for what it is. You are the ultimate TREASURER, taking care of the resources for the good of the many. That is a beautiful, necessary thing for humanity.

This is a great time to think about the theme of CONTROL plays out in your life. Are you good with money? Why not? Do you see the big picture and the need to CONTROL your resources for the future? How can you accomplish this for you and your loved ones? Do you trust that you are supported by the universe? Do you feel you deserve that support?

Are you CONTROLLING in general? Do you feel safe? Are you afraid to let go? Do you feel CONTROLLED by the people around you? Why? Does anyone really have CONTROL over anything? Do you find yourself trying to CONTROL the outcome of things only to be perpetually disappointed? What can you do to step back and realize that CONTROL in this context is an illusion?   

In truth, we are not in the driver seat of this life (thanks Ra). We get to be the passenger. Enjoy the ride or try to CONTROL it. The choice is yours.

I for one am working on not being a back seat driver.

Transiting Friday, March 30 through Wednesday, April 4

The Sun has now traveled to Gate 21, THE TREASURER or MANAGEMENT/CONTROL. In I-Ching, this hexagram is called BITING THROUGH. 

This is the energy for controlling resources so that we have what we need when we need it. If not, if we waste what we have, we will perpetually struggle. 

CONTROL is really the theme here and for someone with this definition, this theme can play out as them being overly CONTROLLING of everything in their life or it can play out as them being CONTROLLED. The goal really is to find that balance in the middle and to understand the need for being in CONTROL can either come from a place of lack or a place of abundance. If it is coming from a place of lack, there can be a tendency to need to be in CONTROL to feel safe.

That said, this energy is not intended to be directed towards our loved ones. It is simply a wonderful skill that should be directed in a healthy way towards protecting resources, not people.

To be honest, this is an energy I am still trying to figure out for myself. Chiron was in Gate 21 at the time of my birth which means this particular energy is my wounded healer. It has manifested itself in almost comical ways during my life. But for me personally, I believe the lesson is letting go of control. Easier said than done but I'm working on it.

For others the lesson may very well be about taking their control back like Ms. Jackson.

As with anything, it is about balance. If this week is your birthday and CONTROL is defined by the Sun at the time of your birth, embrace this talent for what it is. Under the right circumstances you are the ultimate TREASURER, taking care of the resources for the good of the many. That is a beautiful, necessary thing. Thank goodness for it.

As for the rest of us, while this energy is transiting, take advantage and assess the health of your personal resources. Are you saving enough for retirement? If not, what practical steps can you take in the short term to put aside more for later? 

More importantly, think about the theme of CONTROL in your life. If someone in your life tends to be overly controlling, what is making them feel unsafe? Does anyone really truly have CONTROL over anything? Do you find yourself trying to CONTROL the outcome of things only to be perpetually disappointed? What can you do to step back and realize CONTROL is an illusion?   

In truth, we are not in the driver seat of this life (thanks Ra). We get to be the passenger. Enjoy the ride or try to CONTROL it. The choice is yours.

Transiting - October 3 through October 7, 2017

Transiting - October 2, through October 7, 2017, in beautiful Los Angeles.

The Sun now moves into the Gate of DEPTH and the Earth is in the gate of THE TREASURER. The Gate of DEPTH can be tricky energy. Those of us who have it defined every day know full well. We feel compelled to go deep because we never truly have the sense that we know enough. This right here is the fear of inadequacy. As with all Splenic energies, it truly is a short lived fear in the moment and if we just push through that feeling of inadequacy, the fear will dissipate. That's easier said than done of course. If we don't push through, it may hold us back. This week we may initially feel like we we need to do more research, study more, know more before we are willing to take action.

What's grounding us is the Gate of the TREASURER. This is the energy for controlling resources. So yes, this is a good time to focus on your budget and planning your finances (especially with this extra impulse to research in depth). But in the context of the Sun in the Gate of Depth, it may also manifest as the compulsion to control things or situations to alleviate that fear of inadequacy. But the Earth has a grounding effect, so maybe that's not so bad. If being a little controlling about circumstances can make you feel more confident and less fearful, why not? 

As always, these energies are affecting all of us. So be patient when you find the people around you hesitating more than you'd like or being somewhat controlling. You know exactly where they are coming from so have compassion.
