On the Launch Pad

 

Walking behind a teenage girl in hot pink pants and white stilettos this morning, I was thinking about how necessary it is to walk in those stilettos before we’re ready. I remembered times when I „was walking in those stilettos“, feeling really clumsy as I „wasn´t there yet“. I wasn´t ready for the attention but had to do it anyway as the urge to stand out was stronger. 

If we want to reach new heights, it is necessary to challenge ourselves, explore uncomfortable spaces and feel awkward before we learn how to walk gracefully.

 

All planets are moving in direct motion now. Jupiter is covering the new ground of Aries accompanied by fiery Venus. There is a lot of masculine, forward-moving energy in the air. We are aware that things are about to change significantly. Anticipation is rising. 

We might feel like standing on the launch pad, engines have been ignited and we are waiting for our first blastoff. We might not have a clear picture yet of what´s coming, what exactly we burn for but we certainly feel the pressure to fire our best shot, to follow that initial impulse in the Aries part of our chart. The change is imminent. All we need to do now is to initiate it.

Aries energy can be fierce and aggressive. The powerful thrust of energy is needed to launch, to push us up into outer space, to new horizons we have not yet reached. Our driving power must be greater than the force of gravity that pulls us down.

Aries, the first sign of spring, marks the beginning of the solar year. Life is rapidly emerging everywhere, all at once. The faster one wins the race for the right to live. Everyone is out here for themselves. There is no way back, just forward and upwards…and faster. GO!

Now it´s time to be bold, to make it big in the context of our life. Clear vision is not the point. Experience is not necessary, we will learn along the way.

It is time to impress ourselves, to initiate what we never thought is possible for us.

It is time to dare!

Keep hope alive, keep dreaming.
