"When yang has reached its greatest strength, the dark power of yin is born within its depths, for night begins at midday when yang breaks up and begins to change into yin." ~ Carl Jung
I begin with this quote to remind us once again of the natural and cosmic process of transformation. The dance between yin and yang is continuous and ever evolving. It is the constant in life that we can guarantee on, but we never know what it will appear to look like. Change wears a different costume every time it comes to visit us, and sometimes it feels friendly and warm, and other times it feels painful and scary. The one guarantee is that nothing will stay the same forever.
As we find ourselves in the 9th week of the year, we end up in the portal of the 9th sphere of the Tree of Life. This is the space of the womb, or the birthing from the darkness into the Light. All forms of life must travel through this Astral Light in order to arrive here on the Earthly plane of matter. This is also where all of our thoughts and emotions work together to create our physical manifestations. Inside of the womb of transformation is the bag of waters. These waters are the most powerful means of alchemy because they hold the nutrients and conditions for us to grow a new reality. When we are inside of the womb and waters, we are raw, unrealized, and pure potential for greatness. This is the space where the subconscious can literally create from a well of infinite possibilities. Nothing is finite, nothing is decided, and nothing has taken form yet. The waters reflect fluidity in the moment, adaptation in the times, and transformations in the energy in motion. Through deep contemplation, meditation, and inner activation, we have the power to mold our outer world into anything and everything we could ever imagine. We are safe, protected, and sheltered inside of the womb - unaware of what our manifestations will offer. The waters cleanse, purify, and give life to our inner worlds. Once we move through the womb and and out of these waters in order to birth anew, the pressure is on. The areas where we need to purge get squeezed clear of that which no longer serves a purpose in our lives moving forward. All that is left is a renewed version of who we really are deep inside. We go through these transformations in cycles based on the day we were born. No one is exempt from personal transformation, and as a collective, we transform together. Society shifts, times change, and people find new ways to operate. This can bring confusion, fear, and loss. What is most important to remember during these empowering times of transformation is that change brings uncertainty. The number 9 symbolizes surrender to this process of alchemy. Whatever we add to this Divine number 9 will eventually mirror right back to us (9+2=11, and 11 reduces to a 2). We are in a powerful time of creation right now for this reason. Keep your thoughts, emotions, and speech focused on what you are creating and not what you are fearing the most. What we focus on grows, and it is vital that we focus on Love, focus on Peace, and focus on Healing. As we manifest more Love, Peace, and Healing on this planet, the imbalances will return to neutral and we will be empowered to find ways to live more harmoniously with all beings. We are the change we wish to see in this world. Focus on the good and keep creating the magic that was destined to shine through from the very beginning.
