Oooh lordy. The energies swirling around our world. Feels like sometimes we wish we had the time to break through the surface of the water to take a big ole gulp of fresh air.
GORILLA
Oh! The Gorilla Totem! This just popped into my head. Gorilla always means to me the Solar Plexus Chakra…our Will Power…our Relationship to our Will…Exerting our Will…Boundaries Exercised without Restraint.
This week! We have a pep-in-our-step to not take shit from anyone. I feel very sure of myself as I write this. I feel like I’m not going to let anyone Victimize me. I recognize how this XYZ experience has the potential to turn me into the Victim and I won’t stand for it.
Potential to Exercise our Boundaries without Restraint and to Exert our Will.
Be mindful of how you do this though. Using Little Words and No Violence. Creating a spectacle or an explosive argument will not get your point across.
Isn’t “No” a complete sentence? Isn’t that a popular catchphrase?
Every week, I change the wallpaper of my computer, phone, and ipad. I just use basic colors and this week is Yellow. Solar Plexus Chakra and the color is bright behind this word document where I draft the newsletter.
I had a recent experience where I Exercised my Boundary. I received an XYZ where I did not like what was written to me because I can See between the Lines. I replied without any room in what I said to be misconstrued or twisted or have any opportunity for XYZ person to reply in a way to change my mind.
How are you with your Solar Plexus Chakra?
We all are on our own journeys so my ease of Exercising my Boundaries may be difficult for you when it comes very easy to me. I’m a very kind and nice person, but I don’t have a case of ‘niceitis’. I don’t put up with bullshit and I don’t feel ‘negative’ when I Exert my Will to Exercise my Boundaries. This took some Self-Esteem development over the last 10+ years, but I slowly began Exerting my Will and Exercising my Boundaries with small things and then large things.
Practice makes Perfect. Right?
My mom used to LOVE Gorillas. I feel her a lot right now.
XV THE DEVIL REVERSED
Ooooh baby. This card came in last week. You know what? I’m not going to decode the energy of this card because this just is complimenting the GORILLA TOTEM’S Message and it makes me feel like I correctly interpreted that beautiful beast.
KNIGHT OF PENTACLES
Work work work work work. How do you handle your relationships with your co-workers, bosses, clients, customers, XYZ?
How can the GORILLA apply to your job/work? This week will require Exercising Boundaries and Exerting Will in relation to work work work work work.
On the other hand…Slow, Steady Development on the Physical Side of Life. Our Physical Body. Our Financial Health. Our Resources.
Have you been taken advantage of your kindness and generosity? I have no issues helping a loved one out if they are in need of me and my resources. However…fool me once, shame on you…fool me twice, shame on me. Maybe one of you out there will have to be very stern with a loved one with whom you see has/does take advantage of your resources, kindness, and generosity.
XIV TEMPERANCE
Balance. Pretty easy to interpret based upon everything above this card.
If we strengthen our ability to Exercise our Boundaries and Exert our Will then we will be more in Balance.
What will you do when you experience something where you can see that you can either be Victimize by XYZ or you can choose a different path to prevent a Victimization?
That’s it!
May you all have a lovely week!
Sincerely,
Jake
