We’re Here to See it all Differently . . . New Vision, New Seeds

 

You know that I think we are a Tribe who’ve come out of the past with a mission for Humanity’s Future—for a better world, with a better vision and reality-plan for both mankind and planet. As a collective, we’ve done this many, many times before so we know the territory.

When the ages change, like now as the Age of Pisces transitions into Age of Aquarius, all we have is the past to enable us to distill wisdom from experiences and use our vision, imagination, genius to come up with seed ideas and images for the future. [Read more on our Tribe “We’ve Come out of the Past” here and watch my YouTube video here.]

So exactly where we are right now, is at the closing of the old and beginning of the New Age. The past can only help us to a certain degree: honouring ancestors and traditions helps, being aware of history and what has gone before helps, being mindful of culture, cycles and evolution helps.

Essentially, we have to know our Karma when we meet it again so we can neutralise it and empower the Great Soul of Humanity.
 

 

We’re an Evolutionary Force

Because that’s what our mission is about, moving forward with a soul-force to empower Humanity’s transformation. We are evolution, we’re an evolutionary force for an empowered future. How do we do it? We ARE “doing it”. . . we’re here, being alive and happy to be alive now, and we see it all differently. We may seem ordinary, we are probably all ordinary people: we have to live and thrive as human beings on a daily basis . . . but we KNOW we’re divine beings acting as channels for change—we use our Spiritual Vision to see life, the whole, or existence, from the viewpoint of Humanity’s Great Soul.

‘I call us the “New Humanity Being”—a collective group with a buddha-like force for change.’

   

 

Steps to Accepting our Destiny

The steps are simple and dedication to simplicity takes devotion, daily practice, a radical commitment to our identity: this is maturing. Acceptance of our destiny takes maturity. In Ancient Eastern Wisdom Traditions of Yoga, Zen, Tao, or any of the mindfulness paths we “empty” ourselves of all the limiting views, teachings and beliefs that have conditioned our thinking and behaviour in this lifetime. These will have come from parents, society and culture, the greater whole of the past age.

Getting to the Living Mind

I teach you in this step in your development as a multi-dimensional teacher, to get to your “Living Mind”. And the result is, instead of being bound-up or caught-up in dead, lifeless energy you can bind yourself to your Soul’s direction, along with your Tribe: a path to bliss. Specifically, I teach this as the 100-day initiation to “uncluster the living mind” for the members in our community.

Realisation of Unity

Realisation of the unity in all things usually comes next as a spiritual development step, maybe changing some of your life-style habits to become more empathic . . .  to grow compassion and kindness: focusing on positive self-power.

Transforming Essence

Most important is activating and accelerating our Spiritual Vision, so we can “see” with Divine eyes. We see life, our own life, and all its tensions and challenges in a more empowering way, and this is transformational . . . the essence of the way we live transforms powerfully. If you haven’t already, you can take some simple steps to practice here.

   

 

New Vision, New Seeds

We see ourselves and our identity with new vision . . . and many of us are in fact visionaries, or seers: our ideas, new seeds for future change, and genius inspirations for creativity are what will build a solid foundation for a new culture based on an image of fairness and growth for all—man, animal, plant, planet.

Namaste, suZen

Yin Zen – Small Steps to Balance

YinZen Transformation

The Great Soul of Humanity is screaming . . . there is a heartache in the Humanity Heart. We are here as a collective with a calling to be the hope humanity needs right now in this existence . . . as a model for Goddess’s care for humanity’s advancement: we’ve come out of the past to manifest as the hope: as geniuses, visionaries, empaths and all as channels for divine energy flowing. Yin is Flow. Zen is Living Mindfully. Yin.Zen my teaching for our Transformation with reverence for Essence and with a radical devotion to daily practice to awaken awareness of Divine Feminine for Balance. And I teach you with small steps to Balance leading to a more heart-centred future for Humanity.  

  “I was wondering how to say something that is very simple, when we live in a world that has become so complex. My solution was to take a reading from the I Ching for our guidance, just when I had emerged from a period of grief and healing myself . . . This was the reading: ” SuZen  

 

Small Exceeding: Essence of Wisdom in the Small

Essence of Wisdom: “In their conduct, wise people give preponderance to reverence . . . in bereavement, they give preponderance to grief. In expenditure, they give preponderance to thrift.”  I Ching

 

Preponderance of the Small

Thunder on the Mountain . . . this is the image of “preponderance of the small”:  It is “The Tower Moment” in the Light Seer Tarot deck.  

 

Finding Heaven: Finding the Goddess

They say “the devil is in the detail” but actually “the angel is in the detail”. . . if we want to find the “angel” in our current situation, the hope, the inspiration, the positivity in a way forward – you may have to accept that there is no way to see what is the truth at the moment, you can’t gain perspective no matter how much you would like to. And each time you attempt to attain this something stops you, being drawn back by a factor which is relatively small and seemingly irrelevant but which somehow seems so important and so pressing, and which contains so many grounds for argument and contention that no further discussion of the wider picture can take place. That’s the devil in the detail.

But, it’s also where the angel might be found. Keep looking until you see it. Think of the difference between a hologram and a photograph : if you tear off the corner of a picture, that’s all you’ve got. But if you break a hologram then every single piece of the bigger picture is actually contained within the small one.

By attending to detail, by getting the factors that you can get right, by drawing other people’s attention to the parallels within the smaller picture and what it might be telling you about the bigger picture, you can gradually create the focus, intention and the understanding which will eventually lead to new appreciation, and the recognition and the sense of progress which is so much required.

 

Deal With What You Can Deal With

The I Ching is advising us not to become frustrated: it’s saying “deal with what you can deal with and don’t worry . . . little things count a lot. If we take care of the little things now, the big things will take care of themselves.

 

Essence of Small in the Wisdom: Yin Zen Soma

Yin Zen Soma is my Teaching: taking small steps in Ancient practices, with baby steps leading you to openings and awakenings within : revealing your true being nature and your “purpose-ful-ness”. This is not the Western education style of achievement by stages – this is an Ancient initiation style of evolving your consciousness which needs to get back to balance regularly with each new opening in awareness and spirituality.

The Essence is compassionate, heart-centered, awakening Divine Feminine. The qualities we care for in small ways are Mother-centred: patient, caring, simple, profound.

Namaste, SuZen

At the End of the Age of Pisces . . . a big lesson

I’m calling this part in my series of blogs on the End of the Age of Pisces ‘A Big Lesson to Learn . . . our “Fortunes” ‘.

Many, many of us have been struggling for many, many years—so, as a Community we can collectively be in mid-life and beyond in age—and we’ve been without the possibility of shoring up our resources, and indeed with the outcome of having depleted our resources, most especially financial . . . not our fault at all, but the result of the Universe having held us back for a destiny most extraordinary and most likely abundant. But, to put it bluntly many of us are broke by now!

This is what I want to focus on here in this part of contemplating the End of the Age of Pisces: our “Fortunes” . . . please bear with me because there’s a twist at the end.

So let’s talk about “Fortune” here, more generally as to how it applies on our path during Saturn in Pisces for the next 2 or so years . . . and remember I’m writing this for you, as a healer with major Pisces energy: Pisces Sun, Venus and Mercury all close in my first natal astrological house—I “get” Pisces energy.

The wheel of fortune is turning . . . and it’s speaking on a deep level of the things you were to learn, and you are learning or have learned. And it’s reminding me of a quote of Maya Angelou’s about not blaming yourself for the things you didn’t know, before you knew what you know now: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” And, the wheel of fortune is turning with Saturn making sure that what we know now is better than we used to know . . .

 

 

The Save Point

We’re at the equivalent of the “save” point in a game . . . a big lesson learned before healing begins:

I know this doesn’t sound particularly spiritual, but this life here on earth is often called a game—the Lila of the Universe. And there’s a save point in games. So, even if you die at this point in the game of life and you have to start again in a new existence, you never go back to the beginning but you come back to wherever-it-is at this point you’ve saved. You “come in” with your Karma. And here you are.

As Messengers of the Memory—the nascent memory of Humanity’s past— we’ve hit a massive “save point” right here and now. No matter what happens in the future, and many things will happen in the future for us, there’s never going to be a point where we default to being the way we’ve been before—people who’ve survived to thrive again following whorld chaos and crises fall back on nascent memory. This is now our default point. Because we have done this . . .

You have done many things before, you have a memory of “before”, and you’ve done many things up until now in this current life which have given you experience, skills and wisdom. We know things and how to do things, because consciousness has been sleeping in our memories and it is awakening now . . . just when we’re needed, at a time once more when Humanity is falling out of harmony with the Universe. It might sound like my mantra, but as a collective I believe we’re a Spiritual Community of geniuses, visionaries and empaths.

 

 

Whatever-it-is we’re here to do, this is something we can do . . . we’ve done it once, more than once probably and we can do it again. Obviously I don’t know what vision your purpose is giving you for the future, but I absolutely believe you can do this and do it again if necessary and every time you do, you’re more and more open to your genius. We’re all collectively tapping into the Pisces qualities of resilience and adaptability that is building within, and is based within our sense of Self. Correspondingly, obviously, building our self-belief . . .

So, this is important and it’s the antidote to one of the negative traits of Pisces energy and the Age of Pisces. As a group of geniuses, visionaries and empaths with a collective memory awakening now with a purpose for a more enlightened future for Humanity . . . building self-belief means not being in a place of absolute abject acceptance of everything even if it isn’t good for you. Is this not the most significant lesson that someone could learn? This is huge.

 

 

An Important Twist

The twist at the end . . . and it’s this—we all have in our natal astrology, the karmic energies that provide us with Fortune and Joy. So there are 2 parts to our inner Harmony, our Karma of Fortune and our Bliss. As Messengers of the Memory, we’re here as a Spiritual Community to remind the collective of times when Humanity was out of harmony with the Universe—meaning times of chaos and collapse, think of Atlantis. It might surpise you to know that to remind Humanity of harmony and teach them how important it is, we simply follow our individual Bliss. Well, it will seem simpler after we’ve learned our huge lesson about acceptance.

As a for instance from my own Karmic astrology, I bring Joy to others by being in Harmony myself, and by bringing joy I receive joy—this is ingrained within me at the Soul level of my purpose for being here and now in this existence. And for me, sometimes following my own Bliss in this way is as simple as being in my own Yoga and Movement practice every day . . . being in harmony at the centre of my being positively affects everyone around me.

And the twist? The energy of “Fortune” comes in with you karmicly when you’re born into this existence . . . you’ve already chosen it. And, more, I say you’ve “chosen” it as part of your unique mission here and now as a Messenger of the Memory . . . part of your purpose and how you will blossom for a change-bringer of Humanity’s future.

Namaste, enjoy. SuZen

At the End of the Age of Pisces . . . being realistic about passion

 

I’m calling this Full Moon article, “Time for Realism” or, Being Realistic about Passion.

I’ve noticed, and heard talk that we’re actually “addicted” to our future in the Age of Aquarius . . . because we’re addicted to time, as we’ve known it in the Age of Pisces. Now, Pisces is passion energy, and leans to over-thinking and over-inflation of imagination . . . and right now Saturn in Pisces until 2026 is making us be as realistic as possible, about what is possible for our future. And if that sounds like a bit of a conundrum, then Pisces is the most intelligent of energies even though Aquarius is in the realms of the most knowledge.

In other words, this process of leaving the Age of Pisces is partly about not over-exaggerating because of our expectations.

 

Preparation for the New Age

Once we see the fruits of our labours actually coming to life because of the process the Universe has been putting us through during this period of preparation to go into the Age of Aquarius, when we have these fruits there in our hands, manifested because we did that, then we can do something with those fruits. Realistically.

Saturn in Pisces is putting us through a process. This process of maturity and growth, proving our knowledge to ourself and regaining power has led us to conquer, or be consciously in the act of conquering a situation that Humanity needs to grow out of. If we can do this then we can go on to do something else, something more visionary and creative for a more enlightened future for us and our world. So, yes, I meant what I said in the first article in this series—the end of the world as we know it . . . go here—that this period of 2 or so years while Saturn is symbolically being our Taskmaster in the sign of Compassion and Belief, Pisces, is essentially the “end of the world” —as we know it.

 

What is this the end of?

We’re not here sitting together in a group sharing our stories, which would be ideal, so I can’t ask you personally . . . what I can do is ask you to spend some quiet contemplative time on your own, asking yourself “what is this the end of?”. What are you growing out of? What over-expectation of time needs to fall away? What, exactly, has been exaggerated in importance in our lives and now can be seen most realistically as obsolete? Or, ask yourself your own questions . . . share in the comments if you’re up to it?

So, back to where we were . . . “the end of the world”. And the Universe is taking care of boosting our confidence as change-bringers and channels for the Great Mother’s unconditional love for Humanity’s advancement—with hope. That is a huge statement, as I am wont to make, let’s unpack it.

I really don’t think we’re honestly giving ourselves enough credit yet for our mission as “Messengers of the Memory” and for the power our Spiritual Community is building through this process. But I do think we’ll allow ourselves credit when this process has come to fruition, and confidence has built—when we’re out of the “flitting around” phase of the process, trying to focus life-force energy on many things to create one thing. And I do sincerely believe that because of this process we most certainly will not be suffering any of the symptoms of “imposter syndrome” as we collectively enter the new Age of Aquarius! Because that could realistically be a consequence of being addicted to “time” as we know it—do I have enough time? Is there ever going to be enough time? etc—and the conflict is, Pisces is timeless, boundless energy . . . there’s wisdom here that needs to be distilled to take us forward. Yes?

 

What are we dealing with?

This is what I think we’re dealing with, as a spiritual collective: firstly “who are you?”.

Did you ever have a really good idea, and brushed it aside because of what “people might think?” [but then you’re probably used to that]. Or maybe you had a vision of a different future for humanity and wondered how it could manifest? Could be that you know you’re different from others, just because you “know” things?

What is written on your face probably tells every day of your story in a journey to get to this point in time . . . and your journey could have been a struggle—with heartache and loss like my own—because our guides and spiritual guardians needed to keep us directed and focused to this moment. It may have taken us a long time to get here, but we’re right on time as the song goes.

 

Courage for a leap of faith

It’ll take courage. But you’re probably ready for a spiritual leap of faith into the unknown potential of your own being . . . and it takes a radical commitment to daily practice to keep on opening up and developing our consciousness, and keeping the inner channel for Divine Communication open.

So, as I write this in December 2023 at Full Moon, as Saturn has been moving forward for a few weeks following a retrograde phase of nearly 5 months where we’ve all been slowed down to re-do, go over and over again all the things that will eventually add up to one powerful thing . . . it might seem as if we could be in a “flitting about” state of directing life-force here and there while facing tedium and frustration.

 

Your knowledge, Saturn’s Blessing

I say one powerful thing because your purpose might not actually be work . . . purpose is the “way” in which we blossom. And so, I do most emphatically believe that the process is leading to a well earned sense of having earned credit for sticking it out and being committed. One of Saturn’s demands of us is, we have to earn whatever-it-is and of course Pisces rules Belief—yes, Belief with a capital “B”. It’s occurring to me as your guide, that one of Saturn’s Blessings will turn out to be that we’ll each be able to say “I know how I got here”. This knowledge, nobody will be able to take away from you.

Pulling all the different elements together that go into creating one thing, as I’ve said can mean a furious amount of focusing of life-force in a number of directions . . . my “for instance” is when I’m working on a teaching for our members, say the Initiation process: the purpose is to initiate dedicated practitioners into a sacred, Spiritual Community and support them. In actuality this means for me, having to focus on using technology that drains me, but if I don’t focus 100% on all the elements we’re required to these days then the overall whole can be weakened and rendered un-functioning by one of the parts.

But when I get to the functioning, workable and usable version of whatever-it-is I’m creating, I know exactly how I got there . . . and I can do it again.

Namaste, SuZen

At the End of the Age of Pisces . . . the “Get Out”

 

We’re going to look at action and magic . . . real magic happening.

In this phase of “getting us out of”—I call it the get out—the Age of Pisces, we have necessary qualities of consideration, reflection and anticipation and kind of flitting between them as we experience divine energies that are moving us forward . . . in Divine Timing. It’s the “dance of the Universe” . . . bringing the new into being with that kind of energy.

Divine Timing

So, action is only going to happen in Divine Timing . . . however frustrated or burntout we get. But, essentially, it’s not all one way: like we’re all sitting around contemplating our navels and trying to decide where we want to go . . . and neither are we all absolutely working ourselves to the bone.

What’s happening now is a flipping, or flitting as I say, between “ . . . is this right?” and making changes, or “yes, that’s okay” that can stay the way it is. Personally, I’m doing this every day with the SuZenYinZen website and my teachings . . . it’s a balancing act of “that’s not broken so I’m not fixing it” or “that didn’t stand the test of time, give it a make-over”. And you know this takes a lot of mental energy . . . and physical energy too, dealing with technology. It’s a veritable song and dance.

 

 

Directing Life-force

This means a lot of life-force moving around with us at the moment, just to physically manifest our purpose as collective agents of change. And this is good. We’re in a good phase. The power of our awareness means making sure that every action we take or make is fully supporting what it is that we’re trying to create in our mind-space and that it is actually do-able. This is the power of Yoga Shakti . . . strengthening our aim of building up resources in ways that support both purpose, and enjoyment of life, not to forget hopefully leading us to emotional freedom.

Not over-extending ourselves, or putting in effort where it shouldn’t be means that life-force is directed effectively.

 

 

The Call to Action . . . doing it

This phase we’re at now, is an opportunity to “tweak” the end result before it happens. Which, for me, speaks of the ineffable intelligence of the Universe, or our Source. And the end result, energetically, is so close . . . we need to be doing whatever we’re being called to action to do, no matter how tiring or tedious or frustrating.

To be honest what’s happening is, during the doing phase making sure “it’s” do-able—our purpose manifested through our visions—and so we’re leaving behind a certain mind-set. The energy of the phase is introducing a more stable movement where we might have been juddering around more, with specific regard to our minds and the way they work—deeply held principles that have been true for a very long time and trying to adhere to them, even through now our collective situation shows them to be fully outgrown. Saturn is going to make sure that ideas and beliefs [Pisces] that no longer serve our best future [Saturn] are going to be out-grown . . . in effect because they are too restrictive for our maturity and destiny.

 

Getting to the Blessing

I’m repeating this Zen saying here: the Obstacle is the Path.

And I’m guiding you that Humanity is the Obstacle on it’s own path to the future. Each one of us is the Obstacle on our own path to maturity and growth. One major Pisces quality is that of “getting in our own way” . . . I can’t count the number of times I’ve been guided to “get out of your own way”. That’s what Humanity needs to get out of this quality of Divine Energy leading us collectively into our future: that will be the Blessing of this quality of time.

And if you’re following what I write, or you’re already a member of the Community and actively manifesting your vision and purpose, then you’re doing it, you’re on the path and removing the “Obstacle”. You are doing it . . . you are part of the energetic process that is the End of the Age of Pisces.

 

 

Real Magic

And the main energetic thrust of this process, of how we’re focusing our life-force, is working at all levels: physically, mentally, energetically, spiritually. To “get out” of the Age of Pisces with knowledge, maturity, power, integrity of self and manifestable vision I want to put the emphasis on the whole process and its end result . . . and I’m guiding you that “you – are – doing – this”. We are changing life in our world as we know it . . . by coallescing all the energetic states that we can emphasise as the focus for life-force. This is no longer about just how we direct action and this is incredible.

This is real magic happening: we are doing this . . . we’re collectively no longer part of the Obstacle [read my last article here . . .].

At the End of the Age of Pisces . . . the Obstacle is the Path

 

Our purpose and the quality of time right now is important: if we’ve been putting a lot of time and effort into work, or shall we simply call it our “purpose”, and not taking time out for self and self-care then we’re probably feeling tattered around the edges . . . and this is a sign of times to come. Because this quality of time can go on for another 2 or so years as we practically crawl out of the Age of Pisces at a snail’s pace, to risk burnout—and I mean burnout of anysort, be it emotional, physical [including financial], mental or spiritual—self-care is going to be of the most importance.

And this is my guidance as your Piscean guide through these times: warming foods for breakfast, and warming means warming in the Ayurvedic sense, so maybe adding dried fruits along with fresh apples and oranges; spices like cloves and ginger, and nuts if you can do them?

We’ll need regular time dedicated to Cortisol relief, and our daily practices help with that, so that would be our breathwork and meditations. You don’t have to be Pisces sun, moon or rising sign astrologically to need Cortisol relief: many of us will be A-type blood group and we have naturally high Cortisol levels—so we need slow stuff like swimming, walking, yoga and meditation. Most importantly for our sensitivity and psychic protection, going to bed super-early for the sleep we need to clean our brains and aid the memory-storage process.

 

Let’s focus on this for a minute: “purpose” such as ours maybe does not just mean focusing on one thing in particular. To focus on “purpose” might mean that to bring one thing to completion actually involves focusing on many things, and they all require consistent effort. And we’re probably running the likelihood of burning ourselves out if we keep trying to maintain a level of high productivity in the commonly expected way of the West . . . and what expectations are now of how we “get things done”. Looking for pockets of time for rest and respite will obviously stop the tiredness setting in.

 

 

The future has no precedent in the past—self-care taking on new meaning

This is stating the obvious I know, but things have been hard for many of us. We’ve been investing so much in following our path into a future that has no precedent in the past. Not taking quite as good care of ourselves as we could have might be a given . . . but with 20:20 vision, in hindsight had we known how long this process was going to take, we might not have set off on the journey in the first place, and secondly we didn’t know in advance just HOW important it would be to slow down and go gently with it.

Well, now we do. Which is why I’ve been guiding us all to take a pause and slow down. I think it’s probably one of Saturn’s Blessings that we didn’t know how long this part of the process is going to take. Because now those of us who are committed are really, really committed and we want this part of Humanity’s journey into a more enlightened future to happen. We’re prepared to put in that last, little bit more energy. And looking back with our 20:20 vision we can likely see where those pockets of time and gaps for time-out and self-care might have been . . . to build up our inner, energetic resources and maybe even physical and financial resources?

Learning to pace ourselves is one of Saturn’s lessons. And Saturn often wants us to go over these things again . . . it’s revising, doing “it” again, doing it more, doing it harder or for longer than you expected to have to. Because, yes the end result is a Blessing, but it’s also about what this process has done for you.

 

 

What has changed . . . future you

Of the essence is, what has changed within you . . . and what is going to have changed in 2 or more years’ time? Remember what I said earlier about Saturn’s symbolic and energetic messages from the Universe? This divine quality is of slowing us down for the long-haul of our future, and our path to maturity . . . a diamond-like knowledge of self.

Essentially, we are being helped at a Universal level, the Cosmic level, to move forwards because we’ve done everything “right”—I always say that there’s no right or wrong at the Spiritual level but here what I’m talking about is having been mature enough to get everything in our world into good order while keeping ourselves in good shape.

 

 

The obstacle is your Path

Pisces, as well as ruling Belief, is ruled by emotions. So, we’ve listened to ourself, listened to our emotions and paid attention to where we’ve been emotionally drawn and we’ve invested in that. And more, this phase is about managing emotions and not having been subject to them during this time so far . . . not having been a slave to emotions. Major energetic themes during the Age of Pisces have been about Master/Slave or Master/Victim qualities playing out. So, to move on from this and to neutralise the Karma from our collective past has meant learning not to be dictated to by emotions, allowing them to inform us but not allowing them to dictate to us—particularly for the water signs among us. I say this because the Ancient Eastern Wisdom tradition goes that the thing you struggle most with is actually your Super-power.

This obstacle is your Path.

 

 

Within the watery realms of Pisces, emotions govern everything and this can introduce a major level of passivity—another Piscean Age issue—essentially all about acceptance. We get diverted and sent off-track when our emotions get bruised and we respond in a protective way by guarding ourselves in order to retain a status quo, rather than noticing that this is an indication that we should move away from this thing or do something else. If emotions are ruling you, you’re not going to do the necessary detaching for your own self-good.

But, because of the process we’ve been going through and will be going through for another while yet, what seems to be “baked-in” to our path is we’re becoming more sensitive as we become more aware, more psychic, more intuitive, more visionary. And things that might have seemed like a “curse” for a while are proving to serve us really well.

So, let’s add this to the mix of realising the inner changes we’re experiencing due to this divine quality of energy slowing us down for the long-haul of our future, and our path to maturity . . . a diamond-like knowledge of self: and I mean fully being aware of increased sensitivity, psychic strength and visionary perception—our “curses” becoming our blessings . . .

And that is a very, very powerful place to arrive at.

At the End of the Age of Pisces . . . the end of the world as we know it.

I heard this phrase the other day, said by one social media astrologer and immediately realised it would pass into current use it’s so powerful, but also with so much potential to cause much anxiety. Yes, it’s the End of the Age of Pisces . . . now known as ‘the end of the world as we know it’. This refers to Saturn in Pisces astrologically and the Saturnian Blessings of having completed a cycle. For Pisceans this cycle started 30 years ago . . . when our worlds started to change dramatically: mine certainly did, when Saturn went into Pisces in 1994.

Saturn works its transformational magic to get us on track for our destiny by taking away that which is no longer beneficial to our path, and we say that Saturn’s Blessing is to leave us with more than he took away: because the intended effect is to polish up the brightness of the “Diamond in the Soul”, or as we call it in Zen the “Diamond Mind”. Saturn, as one of our astrological natal planets in our birth chart, is the last or outer of our personal planets . . . it’s social.

 

Saturn slows us down for the long-haul of life

One of Saturn’s more unknown and mystical qualities is the need to understand the formation of everything. The individual seeks wisdom to such a great extent that he tends to burden himself with excess knowledge in the process. Wisdom cannot be sought.

Wisdom comes through the experiencing of life. It cannot come from books, nor from listening to the words of others. It is the product of all an individual knows, based on all he has personally been through.

Wisdom must also be put into practice, or else it turns to stone.

Saturn is the energy that slows us down for the long-haul of maturity and helps us be able to “know” all the things we’re supposed to know for our path. The world has so much to offer, that mankind’s most serious problem is truly knowing what to choose! So the “end of the world” as we know it, is freeing us up to know what we’re supposed to, to tread the path of wisdom. A path which is social, freeing us up for personal expansion derived from human togetherness and cooperation, and to the security gained from participating responsibly in and being protected by an organized community.

 

 

Evolving and growing to meet our future path

So, as your Piscean guide with the gift of an inner world of resources to be able to teach you how to navigate this collective path we’re on, out of the Age of Pisces and into Aquarius, I’m aiming to alleviate any free-floating kind of anxiety about what the changes we’re all going through might mean and how we might do the necessary life-decluttering not only physically but at the emotional, spiritual and soul level of being . . . to attain the Saturnian Blessings of evolving and growing to meet our future path with the freedom and clarity of a Diamond Mind.

And that is a big statement to get your mind around.

So let’s talk about Saturnian Blessings at the end of a cycle, before moving into another cycle: what we get is, all the hard work pays off and it’s going to come to a resolution and a conclusion . . . which is what we were looking to achieve. But whatever-it-was that we’ve been working on, there’s an aspect of completion that speaks to what it has taken for us to do this, do the work, and how this has made us change and evolve and “levelled-up” if you like as a Soul considerably during this process.

Where Saturn is involved, often things are very uncomfortable . . . I have to be honest about this: frustration, tedium, delays and all those sorts of things. It can get to the point of maybe screaming pitch or “please, just switch the world off?” Evolution is not always comfortable but it comes with Blessings.

 

 

Piscean Super-Power

The point that Saturn in Pisces can work its real magic is when the change comes and you realise that you can do exactly what you put your mind to . . . the legendary Piscean divine focus, or summoning Shakti energy, life force, to create the mental energy to fulfill the focus of your mental intent. That is a huge statement . . . and this is Pisces Super-Power. This is the Diamond in the collective mind that these last few years in the Age of Pisces are polishing up to shine for our future.

This has always been the case, of course, but it is the extent to which our awareness of this power increases that has improved . . . because, whether you believe you can do something or you can’t both are actually true. Belief is the key. Belief is the true Pisces quality.

The power of what you believe makes the difference . . . Pisces rules belief.

If self-belief is the thing that propels you forwards, if it’s the thing that dictates what kind of reality you exist within . . . whether it’s one where you feel trapped and powerless [negative Pisces victim energy, shadow Saturn] or where you feel empowered and sovereign [positive Pisces energy of the Master] . . . then not having a sense of self, and not having a solid sense of self that you can rely on and believe in puts you ultimately at a huge disadvantage. And the first part of the process I’m talking about here, has been about developing a sense of self: what do you now know about “self” and your self-ness? This process has been developing the very thing that you needed to have, to have belief in . . .

And once you have self-belief, you get the realisation that you are an infinite Soul capable of many, many things. And whatever you put your mind to, you will achieve . . . once that mind has been polished up to emerge as the Diamond in your Soul.

If all we have realised from the last 2,000 or so years of the Age of Pisces is that Belief is all, then we are ready to move on to the next cycle and the next Age in our evolution as Humanity.

Namaste, SuZen
