Friday the 24th was New Moon in Aquarius. Aquarius is an air sign, so it always confused me that the illustration for Aquarius is the Water Bearer – a being pouring water from a vessel. Even the name Aquarius bears water.
Finally, I’ve come up with my own explanation. Air signs are connected to the mental realm – the realm of ideas and inspiration. I’ve decided that the vessel is full of the inspiration that we need in order to understand and fulfill the gifts we bring to the world, and we are receiving the download. What do you think?
So, on Friday, or there about, we were to receive an inspiration, an understanding of an individual special gift that we can nurture and use for the betterment of man/womankind. As humanity, we expand and heal as each individual recognizes and uses their gift, moving into their power.
If you weren’t struck by lightning on Friday with that huge “aha” moment of “this is my gift”, don’t worry about it. It arrives in many ways and may be disguised. You may have been doing this thing for years but never accorded it the title of “my gift”. It may be something totally new to you that you discover you have an affinity for. The seeds have been planted by the Universe. Now we just need to recognize and receive.
Your gift may be something impressive, like discovering the cure for something, or it may be something easier to distribute, like a smile that makes people feel wonderful when they see it. It may be the ability to make people comfortable and relax; you may be someone people can open up to. These are all gifts we need so badly right now, and the ones that are easy to give and plentiful can be the best ever.
If you want to know your gift and did not get the lightning strike, take some quiet time and ask to be shown your gift; then listen and watch. You may not see it in your meditation, but people may start commenting on something about you. Listen, even to people you meet on the street.
One of my gifts is my smile. People on the street comment on it a lot. It’s not something I would have realized on my own, but I’ve been told so often that my smile makes people feel better I’ve come to view it as a gift. And bonus, it’s free, it’s portable and easy to deliver.
If you still can’t figure it out, have a tea party, invite your friends over and discuss each other’s gifts. If nothing else you’ll have a good time. Plus, your gift may be to bring people together to share or just enjoy.
To top off a very energetic weekend, Saturday was Chinese New Year. It’s the Year of the Rat. You can find out how this year will affect you here . I’m an Ox, and it looks like it will be a good year for me. (Big smiles). Let me know how the Year of the Rat looks for you.
