This is also about being able to speak and listen to people who don't hold to our political ideals. We have to listen to each other and when we do, we'll probably find that we agree on most things, perhaps just not on how to and who can carry those ideals forward. Most disagreements come from unconscious fears and when we know who we are, our fears do not rule us.
" Do you not know the Mystery saying that all the gods are one god, and all the goddesses are one goddess, and there is one initiator? Do you not know that at the dawn of manifestation the gods wove the web of creation between the poles of the pairs of opposites, active and passive, dynamic and receptive, positive and negative, and that all things are these two things in different ways and upon different levels. . .?"
" The ancients . . . said the soul is bi-sexual and that as one or the other aspect manifested in the world of form (as a woman or a man), the alternative aspect was latent in the world of spirit . . . the side that is forth-flowing by its own dynamism, and the side that lies latent, awaiting inspiration, and that come not forth unless it is evoked. And this is the greater side of each one of us: and in a man it is his spiritual nature, and in a woman it is her dynamic will." Dion Fortune The Sea Priestess
Regardless of our gender identification (rebelling against our patriarchal conditioning ) we are composed of these two types of energies. And the rulers of Aries and Libra symbolizes these two cosmic currents: Mars and Venus. Mars is desire, the fire in the belly. Venus is connection, th e hope in the heart. We need to connect with our desires in ways that grow life instead of planting death.
Venus is at the last degrees of Pisces, opening us to compassion, imagination and wholeness. Mars is in Gemini, focusing his will on what interests him. Water and air can stir up storms or bring calm breezes and beautiful days. It's up to us to create the weather in our relationships.
So if you're wondering how our April Fool is doing on his journey, he's about to meet The Lovers, t he two who become one, for his first initiation under this magical, mystical Blue Moon. He needs to learn the balance between th e se two forces (dynamism and latency) within himself and with others. If he can find his inner balance and stay open to the world, perhaps he'll meet the Other who can help him on his journey.
As a relationship coach, I've discovered that the one thing everyone in the world wants is to be in a good relationship where it's with our family, our friends or one specific person. And ironically, it's the one thing we don't teach our people. While we're all 'engaging' in relationships, none of us know what the rules are or how to do it naturally.
And to make matters more confusing, we are living at the end of a very restrictive patriarchal version of relationships, changing and growing as we stumble against each other. For many of us, there's more pain than gain in being in a relationship.
