Six of Pentacles
Six of Pentacles and the first full week of Earthy Taurus Energy! How is your body feeling? The fives of last week created an opportunity for some major body epiphanies. You may have experienced them like I did, laying around, unmotivated, and crying, or maybe you were super proactive and really committed to a new body ritual that felt incredible. In any case, one thing you probably became aware of, is that HUMAN, YOU HAVE NEEDS.
Through Astrology, (and years of being alive) I have discovered that we all have SIX FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS in common. I derived this by looking at the polarity axis points between the 12 signs of the Zodiac, but I’ll spare you the deeper details (unless you want to know! In which case I’ll have a webinar or something!)
Identity: The need to know and be seen as our Unique Selves.
Stability: The need to have some Certainty that our needs will be met.
Expansion: The ability to Grow and Expand our consciousness.
Belonging: The feeling of Connection with self, spirit, and others.
Excitement: The need for Uncertainty, Change, and Spontaneity.
Contribution: The ability to make a Difference and Matter in a valuable way.
By looking at these, you can see that I have not included things like food, water, and shelter, because having these physical needs met is part of the core need of Stability.
The Earthy energy of Taurus is asking us to get really clear on what our needs are and how we are currently meeting them, or not meeting them. Do we feel dependent on others to fulfill these needs for us, or do other people in our life depend on us to meet their needs?
Its ok to be INTERDEPENDENT, to a degree. We depend on hundreds of people every day to ensure the water we drink gets to our mouths (unless we drink from streams) and to create the food we eat, the cars we drive, our clothes, products, housing and just about everything else if you are living in the United States or other developed societies (if you are reading this you likely have access to technology, created by hundreds alone). So Interdependency is not what we are talking about here.
These are consciousness needs, and we can meet these needs in disempowering ways if we are not aware, or are unconscious, that we have them in the first place. AND GUESS WHAT? We will still need others to help us with our reflections of having these needs met. I can do a whole huge segment on each of these needs and how to know if we are meeting them in empowered or disempowered ways, but for now, you will know the difference by the degree of neediness you still feel even after you think you got what you wanted, or the sadness you feel when you don’t.
Pay attention this week to the places you feel you need something, and who or what you need it from. See if you can categorize it into one of these Six fundamental needs. If you want to go deeper, I made a brief video series about this a few years ago that go into each a bit more. Ill post one a day for the next week so that you can lean a little more fully into each of these needs for yourself.
In them mean time, feel the spaces that need your attention. We all have some work to do, but IDENTIFYING what that work is, is the very first need to be met. Your body (woman) and emotions will speak to you about it, loud and clear. This will help you mind (man) to listen.
So much love to you all.
