I hope you are enjoying today's Sun sextile Mars. This is a day when we can sort things out the way we want them.
Mars, the planet of action, is also starting to square Gonggong, the planet of empathic consciousness, with the exact square at the end of the weekend. So, over the next week, we will have to work to align our actions with our empathic consciousness.
Empathic consciousness gives us the ability to understand and share the feelings and emotions of others, enabling us to connect with them on a more profound level and promoting compassion and understanding in our interactions. The heightened emotional intelligence of empathic consciousness is an essential component of building positive and meaningful relationships.
With the current square, when we can tune into others on an empathic level, we can act in ways which are more likely to be well received or gain their support. When we are self involved and insensitive to those around us, our actions will inevitable lead to challenges with others.
At the top level Gonggong is about channelling the spiritual, emotional and psychic energies in our lives. As we do, we can have watershed moments that generate floods of insight. These can put us in touch with the spirit world, or with cosmic wisdom, which nourishes our lives.
So the square this week can also motivate us to set up new channels in our lives and, exemplifying this, I am today launching a public YouTube channel, where I will be posting videos on the current astrology of the dwarf planets, much as I write about them here.
I encourage you to click through to my new channel now to hear the rest of this story about the current square, including the pitfalls of being unconscious of Gonggong's energy, the benefits of a more spiritual approach, and some practical exercises to work with the energy, including a fun interactive exercise that I've repurposed from my past work as a clown teacher.
And please subscribe to the channel to get the new videos as I post them. Today I am co-ordinating the newsletter and YouTube channels, but for the most part, to assist my workflow, I will be sending the newsletter and posting the videos separately, so they will deal with different astrology, and you won't double up by subscribing to both. I appreciate your support.
But, be sure to come back here to grab a scholarship on the Gonggong course, if you want one, because I'm not offering the scholarships to the YouTube subscribers.
Gonggong Scholarships
The early scholarships on this course were snapped up back in January, but I do have a handful of our standard scholarships, which give you the course for around a third of the full price.
As we become conscious of the action of these outer planets in our lives, we are able to connect with that side of ourselves and enable a more conscious use of the abilities they bring. If you’d like the help of a friendly online group of astrologers to on-board this energy, consider coming to the Gonggong course, starting on the 2nd November.
What students love about the courses is the community sharing, through blog-posted assignments and live Zoom Q&As, which gives a good picture of how these new planets act similarly, yet diversely in each of our lives.
Join us if you can on Gonggong, and thanks for your work embracing these new aspects of consciousness.
Love and laughter
