New Year -- New Attitude
Boundaries. I understand it is next to impossible to set boundaries with Jupiter in one’s first house (astrologically speaking). Simply put, I understand, because I do not set boundaries. Without boundaries a person can feel “used” and set up a vicious cycle of allowing that over and over again. Meditating on that, this season of goodness and light, I realize that GOD has no boundaries. One may come to Him/Her at any given time, in any given circumstances and the Creator’s Love and Light will shine upon them – with boundless energy – with healing – with acceptance – with joy. When one feels that Divine Being living within, things change. The old ways, old patterns have to catch up with the new mind of Christ… feeling used is an old way. Feeling blessed to be of service and to learn is the new way.In the past I have felt used and thus abused. Now, I am beginning to see that the only boundaries I must set are dependent upon my energy. Am I constantly asked to listen to others’ problems? That is not being used – it is being given an opportunity to stretch my prayer warrior muscles. Am I constantly asked to assist with healing? That’s not being used – it is being given an opportunity to connect my energy to the Divine Healing energies. Am I being used to counsel? No, it is the opportunity to share the mind of Christ. Are opportunities to learn through experience being a matter of being used? Only if I feel sorry for myself instead of understanding that it is the opportunity to share from experience so that others can learn. It is the latter that has caused me grief over the years with relationships (moon in 7th house).
Every relationship has been a learning experience. What I have had to understand is that it has also been my choice to “learn” or to “feel used.” It has been my choice to accept someone for face value without expectation… eventually feeling used because I really did have expectations. I couldn’t see that for myself. [Jupiter again.] I am glad for this extra time for reflection, so that I could go over the past and see, once and for all, that having felt used was actually life’s classroom. Perhaps I have finally graduated and can go forward from this day with a new attitude.
