ACCEPTANCE - The Sun in Gate 60 #HUMANDESIGN #TRANSITS #ASTROLOGY #ICHING

Gate 60.jpg

The Sun has now moved into Gate 60, ACCEPTANCE, RESOURCEFULNESS, or CONSERVATION. In the I-Ching this energy is called LIMITATION.  

There is a bit of a mixed message with this energy. On one hand, it is coming from a place of holding on to old ways of doing things. On the other hand, this energy does want to innovate. It is indeed mutative. But only in a way that is respectful to the old ways and carries the wisdom of why the old ways work.

So this energy is ACCEPTING the LIMITS of the traditional foundation in a RESOURCEFUL manner that moves toward innovation. This is methodical innovation. In other words, don’t fix what isn’t broken; respectfully, methodically improve it.

People with this energy can be perceived as stuck in their ways and, without awareness, there can be a tendency to be a bit fixed about things. But this is the person who will be the voice of reason in the room when we enthusiastically want change for changes sake. They will hold the process back until they are sure the change is in fact necessary and is indeed an improvement.

Innovation is important, but one must be careful to first do no harm.

So what does this concept of ACCEPTANCE mean to you? Are you someone who hates change? Why? Do you strive for innovation in everything you do? Why not? How RESOURCEFUL are you when it comes to implementing change? Are you the type to throw everything out out the door and start completely over? Or are you able to ACCEPT the things that cannot change yet RESOURCEFULLY implement improvements? Does tradition make you feel safe? Does innovation make you feel unsafe? How can you improve what you have and work within the existing limitations without throwing the good parts out?

Innovation is great. Just try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Not everyone agrees with that statement in the current climate. There is a sense of enthusiasm right now on many fronts for throwing out the old ways out and starting fresh. A lot of this energy for radical change is very good for society, some of it not so much.  

Thank goodness for those of us who have the innate respect for how things are to ensure we go about this change in a manner that utilizes the wisdom of the past so that we indeed hold on to what does work.  

So what does this mean for you in the coming days? Use this time to review what is and is not working in your life. Take advantage of this somewhat conservative energy to plan exactly how you can make incremental changes to steer things in the right direction in the coming year.

So start that self-improvement project. Improve your life! But let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, OK?
