Todays Intuitive Reading

The Great Conjunction on Winter Solstice 2020 marked the official start of what some call the Aquarian Age. We are referring to it as a New Paradigm based on the Common Good.

This is an imprint that we use for finding our way in the New Paradigm. Common Ground for the Common Good is based on peaceful co-operation with Nature, equality and balanced prosperity. This template encourages us to join together with Nature, rather than trying to dominate or work against her.

If you meditate on the “map” available in this image, your mind can get a better grasp of how it might reorganize your energy to move more cooperatively in the New Paradigm we’ve entered.

On the Solstice of 2021, the Water based Piscean energies for healing and manifesting reduced its flow through the Tao significantly and was suddenly replaced by a new flow of life force via the Aquarian Air based energies.

During the Solstice 0f 2022 the Piscean energy stopped flowing entirely, causing tremendous unseen and misunderstood crisis. The new channels of life force were now coming through the Element of Air.

This symbol for Divine Protection can be used to access that new channel of generative chi’ which is much lighter and faster and quick to change than the old water based Piscean chi’. 

The Solstice of 2023 was relatively calm, however the aftermath of going through that Winter portal revealed that ‘sustainable prosperity’ was no longer something that Mother Earth could support. The best we can hope for now, is to work with Nature and learn to roll with what has been set in motion.

There is no going back to how things used to be. It’s now essential for us to rethink our positions so that we can be flexible and adapt with the planet as she makes her way through this evolutionary transition. Since that time, our choices have been increasingly reflecting whether we choose to work with her or against her. And, considering recent events, that means we’re going to need far more creative and innovative solutions.

During this last Winter Solstice of 2024, the I Ching was predominantly in the Hexagram flow of #6 CONFLICT and is now in a multiple highway pattern. When that happens, Kuan Yin always advises us to find and follow the flow of #15 MODERATION whenever possible. Because it is the Middle Road, a flow for it always exists to some degree.

Recent events have proven that we need significant help and trusted guidance about how we can minimize the danger and conflicting energy that’s all around. What we’re thinking and how we act does have a rebound effect. If we can clear the shock and reclaim our equilibrium, it’s possible to recenter our minds and energies to navigate in a safer way through the new terrain.

Guidance from Kuan Yin

As a long respected Guardian of healing and Compassion, Kuan Yin’s uses the I Ching, or Book of Change, the ancient shamanic text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Since 2009, she has been helping us through these readings and games to transition from the old paradigm based on greed, fear and extremism to a New Paradigm based on equality, cooperation with Nature and balanced prosperity. Because of that, her advice and instruction comes from a different perspective than ours:

“Since the Jupiter/Saturn Conjunction on the Solstice of 2020, humanity has been simultaneously adapting to and resisting change on a variety of levels. A change of heart. A change in your collective mindset. A change in the nature of the flow through the Tao.

On the physical plane, the opening of one set of energies and the closing of another has caused a great deal of confusion and instability in your collective mindset. The I Ching flow has been reflecting that confusion through a multiple highway pattern that includes the flows for CONFLICT, DANGER, SHOCKING and escalating DETERIORATION.

Under these conditions, you will continue to be challenged by sudden and repeated shifts of energy, collapses, and mounting obstacles. Do your best to refrain from forcing things or projecting your opinions out into the ethers. Erratic and hostile thoughts increase chaotic energy flow and erratic imbalances. Hopefully, you’re learning to calm your reactions, even in difficult situations, so that a stabilizing response can be realized.

Please remember, the upcoming transition needs clear direction and conscious tending:

•  Slow down, clarify your intentions and pull your energy out of unnecessary holes and distractions.
• The simpler and more direct you can be with unified life-affirming intentions, the better.
• Focus on doing what’s working and stop doing things that aren’t working.
• Your time is too important to waste. How you use your energies is important.
• Do your best to continue using the positive qualities of the Dragon to rise up and above the fray until after the Lunar New Year.”

The Chinese Zodiac

The Year of the Yang Wood Dragon is coming to an end on the Lunar New Year on January 29th, 2025.

His positive qualities have been: Energetic. Confident. Ambitious. Intelligent. Generous.
His challenging qualities are: Unstable. Intolerant. Lack of persistence. Unrealistic.

Kuan Yin’s Dragon’s Mandala below can give you a sense of what the archetype of the Dragon is about and how it still has a positive influence on you. To access his generosity, gently contemplate the center “eye of the Dragon” and relax. When you feel a connection, ask yourself the following questions and journal the answers that come.

Allow your intuition to come forward and bring guidance from your innermost Self:

“What do I really want to accomplish in these last days of the Dragon, before this cycle completes?

“What direction does the energy for that project need to move?
Why is that important?
Are there important things for me to know?
If so, can I tell what they are and how I can best understand them?
Is there I Ching advice that would help me?”

Dragon’s Offerings to you:

• “If you’re feeling off track, use Finding Moderation to help you regain your inner compass.

• If you need to refocus your attention on what really matters, get help with Setting Clear Boundaries for a Busy Mind.

• If you’re caught in a seriously deteriorating circumstance, go through Balanced Prosperity in Times of Deterioration.

• What have you learned from the past Year of the Dragon? The answers you get will help you on your journey forward.”

The I Ching

Hexagram #15 MODERATION

(MODESTY)

“The predominant forces in the cosmos at this time are in the process of balancing extremes and harmonizing interests. This tendency toward equilibrium and MODERATION is a natural urge in the universe. In the terrain of the earth, pinnacles are in the process of wearing down and valleys are filling up. Extreme poles magnetize and attract their opposites, thus neutralizing and moderating themselves. Nature balances itself with plagues, droughts, and cycles of overabundance, and human nature strives toward MODERATION in its tendency to reduce the excesses of the over powerful and to augment the needs of those who are desperately wanting…

…This is a good time to bring some equilibrium to your more personal relationships. Examine your deepest feelings and see if you are harboring any extremes in your expectations or selfish desires in your motivations. Try to moderate any unrealistic ideals.

Your inner development now requires a modest and sincere attitude. Do not indulge in extremes of any sort, and instead strive for MODERATION in all that you do…  inner equilibrium aligns you with the tao, thus bringing you into harmony with forces that can work for you…

… Carefully measure your reactions by disengaging from opinionated attitudes. Only in this way can you begin to make progress.” ~ The I Ching Workbook, R. L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979

Numerology and the Tarot

The guiding Major Arcana Card for 2025 is The Hermit #IX (2+ 0 + 2 + 5 = 9) 

The Hermit represents the ONE IDENTITY, or IAM. Whether it be the consciousness of a man or a woman, the Soul who has attained enlightenment stands upon the mountain peaks as a light bearer for those below on the path. The Hermit is solitary, alone. This symbolism contradicts the fact that in reality, the central Self within every one of us, which seems to us to be separate from every other Self, is is profoundly inter-connected through that same ONE IDENTITY.

The number 9 is about completion – the completion of a cycle. The neutral color of his robes suggests the ability to neutralize the opposites of black and white. Therefore, the Hermit is a guide for when one needs inner clarity and to shine light on the furthering of one’s Soul or Soul’s purpose. However, following just any light in the darkness can be hazardous. False lights and bedazzlements obstruct inner development and enlightenment.

When our actions are illuminated by the Soul, rather than the status quo, important information about timing, reversals or polarity are available and will serve us going forward.
