Scorpio 15 (14° - 15°)FIRST STEPS OF HUMANITY'S SPIRITUAL BREAKTHROUGH
A very small number of people have awakened to a higher level of consciousness, however they are yet as undeveloped as children "Realising how little we really know" Numerologically the number 5 is associated with the capacity of Mind to penetrate further into the unseen realms to discover and create new forms for universal ideas. Few people are truly creative and those who are invariably are still ‘playing around’ with this extraordinary gift. Humanity is on the brink of a new phase of being and those with the creative flair will be called upon to indicate how we can do things differently.

Being true to oneself is paramount in all things
A child does not concern itself with philosophy or morality overmuch; it plays. As we reach further into the disturbing complexities of fulfilling personal ambitions and social responsibilities, we would do well from time to time to remember who we really are and what we really love to do. Being true to ourselves is paramount in all things, and a child has no need to be reminded of this self-evident aspect of living free. People get caught up in social niceties, so when we openly express our own innocence we can help them find theirs. It’s rather unusual to meet someone who, in a world beset by ambition and fear, opts to retain a naive sense of fun. Such people are often well liked since they have an atmosphere of purity, and reluctance to judge others. They are trusting and light-hearted, and can often impact upon others in playful ways. Though this may appear a rather simple behaviour, it is not without profound consequences. Generally people like – and need – to be helped to relax, those who can do this tend to gain influence. We each have the gift to discover new and fascinating ways to be who we are and to find something worthwhile in any situation and all experiences. This is life lived in innocence. Whatever comes up – be it easy or difficult, pleasant or challenging – we have within us exactly what it takes to cope and gain satisfaction. The best of us still lies dormant as an unrealised potential and will only be awakened – often with easy spontaneity – when its time has come, and when the need arises. There is a question of reassessing, and perhaps reorganising, what is worthy of our committed involvement. And here we can gain insight by remembering the child within, who knows intuitively how, and with what, to become completely absorbed – and thus make it meaningful. To live a life without much profound purpose, punctuated by a frequency of inept responses to what occurs, is soul-destroying and symptomatic of someone who has lost their sense of joie de vivre. Trusting the inner integrity of human spirit, we simply have naively to meet all events as they come, and know that we are always good for purpose. |
Children playing around five mounds of sand
Commentary from Guin
The children playing around five mounds of sand are the kids of the she-goat Capella, the alpha star of constellation Auriga. Auriga's pattern of five sparkling stars above remind us of five glittering mounds of quartz sand below. This constellation is also known as The Shepherd who lovingly protects the she-goat and her kids from the charging Bull, Taurus. Loving protection is indicated at this degree. As Above, So Below. |
