November 4th, 2013 - Monday - Oppression

November 4th, 2013 - Monday - Oppression - Last week was one of the most amazing weeks of energy I've ever experience in the Tarot.  The path of the cards were so on that it created an opening in me that was amazing, building confidence and trust.  It ended Sunday with Strength!  But Sunday is not just the ending of the weekend, it's the start of the next one, and so Strength was the result and Strength will be needed.

In this open trusting day we get Oppression for Monday!  What a weird energy difference from last week, and yet... somehow utterly perfect. Let's dive into Oppression today!  

The first thing we want to look at are the Astrological Implications.  Saturn and Sagittarius.  Struggle and Mutable first suggests energy is suppressed.  First thing out of the gate this suggest to me that movement is in order.  Nothing like MOVING the body to get some energy out.  To get it unstuck.  Whatever way you feel right doing this, do it.  Obviously, it's Monday, you are at work, and that is not perfect for movement (well, us fools with desk jobs).  So movement will be the first thing to offer you.

Next... Oppression suggest that we've held ourselves back.  Is it always ourselves doing the holding?  Usually it is.  But it COULD be someone else holding us back.  I feel confident from last week so I'm pretty sure it's about me holding myself back.  And what happens when you hold yourself back?  Stuff the energy down and it twists and turns.  Feelings buried alive never die....

What does this suggest?  Revolution!  Yes, revolt against the oppressors!  You got the energy, and it's going to blow out somehow some way.  Remember the Lust card Saturday?  So MUCH power!  You need to let it go, but also guide it CAREFULLY.  Today, you have energy again, and it's built up and it's going to fucking explode if you don't watch it.  That's why you have to listen to your little bastard.  That voice inside the incites rebellion.  This isn't about being selfish. This is about the fact that you have been  oppressed, and you need to fix it and let out your goddamn genius or you are going to explode sideways.  It's time to foment and exercise rebellion!  Fight against the powers that be (your own egoic fear based parts that are holding you down) or other people who are holding you down.  

We need to discuss why you feel Oppressed.  Look... their are REASONS.  Someone probably screwed you over and they were really mean to you.  Some BAD things happened.  It's real. They are real. You have a good reason to be oppressed.  You didn't make it up.  But... SO WHAT?  Right?  Yes!  So what.  It's time to stop using the past as a leverage to stop you.   It's time to forgive yourself, others and move on.

This is such a rich zone of movement for me and the patters are saying it over and over again.  Yes... someone wronged you. (I know who wronged me!).  And damn... I need to forgive, forget, and move on.  Love openness... it's all there.  This is the perfect card today.  The absolute perfect card.

It's time to move on folks.  It's time to really move on.  And here's how we move on:  We MOVE.  Literally.  We move on through action.  I know that might not make sense, but I need you to sit with this and figure it out.  Sit and thing about where you are holding back, and then do this: Consider how you can MOVE in a way that shows you are putting it behind you.  You have the energy.  Someone put you down, and you are now holding yourself back.  You have a little bastard in your head, us her or him.  Forgive the person, and then demonstrably MOVE on.  This card is perfect.  This card is magical.  This card is giving you permission to revolt.  More than permission, it's encouraging it! 

Viva La Revolution!
