Anne Ortelee weekly weather....better late than never

[northernlights]

With an exam to cram for yesterday, I didn't see this until this morning. Wish I'd seen it sooner :) But still in time to be useful!

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” - Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Mars stations this week so anger will be front and center. As will envy, action, war, aggression, drive, sex, power, energy, rage and acting out ~ all various forms of Mars energy. Temper tantrums. Because Mars is stopped in the sky, unfortunately, we will probably notice all the harder and more primal versions of Mars energy dancing around the room. Mars can’t move so he is frustrated. Anger is a secondary emotion of Mars‘ drive to DO SOME THING! See if you can find the primary emotion of Mars or some other planet (hint: look at planets in aspect to your Mars) at work under the secondary emotion of Anger. That is the emotional front to focus on and channel.

Underneath, behind, or inside anger, there was a primary feeling that appeared right before the anger. We always feel something right before anger. Drop down into your angry feelings and identify the triggering feeling beneath the anger. If you sit in your anger, you don’t actually know WHAT to DO to make it go away. You are angry. If you can identify the triggering emotion for your anger, you can strategize a solution or actions to take.....

....Mars is in Leo until June 7. You’ll process and work through the energy of Mars in Leo between now and then. No need to push the ocean of energy this week or attempt to overcome that stopped Mars energy. Notice, gather information, pause, watch the anger or whatever the Mars energy brings up ~ look below the surface to see what it is the PRIMARY emotion. THAT PRIMARY EMOTION is what you are supposed to work with between now and June. Get clear on what it is this week so you can work with it over the next couple of months as Mars retraces his steps in Leo.....

....We are finishing up an 84 year cycle with Uranus in the late degrees of Pisces, asking us to start a new chapter of creativity, chaos, change and creation in June. We are finishing up a 12 year cycle with Jupiter in Pisces asking us to start a new cycle of relationships, community, spirituality, beliefs and connections in June. That is part of why I’ve been encouraging you to come up with your new mythology. All this change is coming! And a brand new cycle of creation will begin on June 6-8. Today you get to see the patterns that contributed to your OLD cycle clearly. If you understand your PATTERNS you can change them to fit your new dreams. You can also modify your PATTERNS to work with your life.

1. Thanks northernlights.

I love the quote from Frankl - very powerful.

Good information from Anne and I will do my best to do as she suggests.

2. Wow, I really, really, really like her...

Love the clarity with which she conveys her message...she's consistent and drives the point home. I really need that now.

Okay, so I'm definitely feeling the Mars anger thing. I was doing fine earlier in the week...feeling positive, inspired, hopeful, yada, yada.

Then somewhere along the line the bottom fell out. LOL. What was the primary emotion right before the anger took hold? For me, frustration, but frustration about or towards who or what? I shall dive into that today.

Thanks so much for sharing. :)

:hug:

3. I think

what I feel is hopelessness. I *think* as it's difficult to define. Whatever the emotion is makes me feel that mankind is the scourge of the Earth, the bane of its existence. Then, instead of outward anger, it goes inward and I feel that there is no solution, save death.

4. Oh my....

I do believe hopelessness is the absolute worst feeling of all.

When I have felt that -- and over the last 20 years I have felt it frequently -- the only thing that shakes me out of it is to disconnect from the bombardment of disappointing, disgusting and gut-wrenching news. It's like a black hole and we get sucked into it. I personally think it's pretty easy to get to the place you find yourself; just read the GD and GDP forums and one could easily sink into that space.

I am truly so very, very sorry you are feeling this way, Delphinus. It's a horrible feeling. My sense is that it is very important for you to take care of YOU right now. Let the energy of the worries of the rest of the world go. Find some nugget of comfort in your life and try to focus on that...breathe it in and amplify it. Try not to think too much (my personal downfall ;)).

Breathe. Watch videos, read books that are comforting and inspiring, not the current harsh reality or doomsday messages.

Until you can feel better about yourself and about life, I am holding your hand and believing in you...knowing you'll move beyond this. We all will. When we can't have hope, let's trust others to carry the energy of hope for us.

7. Back to the garden time

helps me.
A chance to channel the energy.

For some reason,as I sat here typing the above,images of Shiva dancing popped into my head.A dance of destruction-creation. A time for the old to die and transform into something differant.

I gotta feeling the next few months are gonna be interesting.

5. Me too, Delphinus. Hopeless and helpless.

Perhaps you've hit the nail on the head, hopeless turns inward into helpless, though I wish that it could turn to anger instead of lingering there for a while. Anger always translates to action for me, not breaking stuff but what to do.

[northernlights]

9. yup

:hug: :hug: :hug: spring will come again, but right now we're still in winter. :hug: :hug: :hug:

earth will do very nicely without mankind, sooner or later. she will heal.

[Kind of Blue]

6. Thanks, Northernlights. More confirmation that

this cycle could turn into something extremely positive :hug:

8. This seems similar in feel to what Rick posted

Very good stuff! I am starting to feel more optimistic after reading what Rick had to say and now this. Community and Spirituality have been two things that have been on my mind as items I need to focus on as I let go of the bad happenings in the world that all the worry and anger I can muster can't solve.
