One of the best things that any person can do is be open to the possibility of changing their mind.
I remember a joke that goes
Q: Why are women’s minds so pure?
A: Because they change them so often!
Obviously this joke has an anti-women message but it also has embedded within it the very rigid patriarchal idea that it’s somehow weak to change your mind.
Libra, the 7th sign of the Zodiac, is often criticised for being indecisive. The truth is that this is a strength that cultivates wisdom; Libran energy is balanced and therefore able to consider all sides of an argument.
One of the most difficult things in life is getting stuck on an idea and being absolutely closed off to the possibility that maybe you don’t have all the answers, after all.
Maybe life has pushed you into a corner and the only thing you have left to cling onto are your beliefs.
But what if you are wrong?
Stopping listening to other people because you think you know everything is a very dangerous practise.
Obviously we have seen this plus plus these past few years as people debated the subjects which came up during the pandemic such as mask-wearing and vaccinations.
On the spiritual path, it’s essential to keep an open mind.
The Universe is constantly sending us signals and if we are stuck in one way of thinking, it becomes extremely hard for us to connect with these sign posts and signals sent to help guide us.
Everyday, the universe is sending us signs about the best way forward. Here are 3 simple examples@
1. Pulling oracle cards
Sometimes these come in super obvious forms, such as when we do an Oracle card reading.
When we pull a card, we somehow trigger a response from the Universe and manifest the card that our Higher Self needs to see in order to proceed towards the best possible outcome for the evolution of our soul.
2. The music you hear
A less obvious way of receiving signs and symbols is through the music that we hear. This happens less and less by chance as we all move away from listening to radio stations which generate random songs and more towards choosing exactly what we want to hear on platforms such as Spotify.
However you can try this random song generator. Centre yourself, ask your question out loud or write it down. Ideally ask “what do I need to know about… X” and see which song comes up! Really think about what the meaning behind the song could be, even if it’s not immediately obvious.
Archangel Sandalphon is said to communicate with us through music, helping us to hear exactly the song we need to answer whatever question we have pressing in our minds at the time. Ask Sandalphon to guide you and try the generator or put your playlists on shuffle on your preferred music streaming platform.
3. Messages via meditation
Another way of receiving signs and signals from the universe is through the simple act of meditation.
When I meditate, I nearly always have a pen and paper nearby. Reason being, as I meditate and free up my mind, ideas bubble to the surface which I want to make a note of and then release so that I can return to my meditation.
Work with the astrology
At the time of writing this (April 2022), we’re about to have a meeting between the planet of the mind, Mercury, and the planet of radical change, sudden reversals, liberations and awakenings, Uranus.
It’s a time when people can more easily change their mind.
It’s a time when a conversation could change the course of someone’s life, or even of the planet.
It’s a time when turnarounds are even more possible than usual.
So as we head towards this, here are some ideas for how to make the most of it:
• Keep an open mind
• If you hear someone you disagree with, hear them out
• Consider the possibility that you don’t know it all
• Ask yourself where the universe seems to be wanting you to learn a lesson
• Ask a question and draw an oracle card and then make a note of the answer that you get in your journal
• Read a spiritual book which you think might give you some kind of awakening
• Be open to the idea that life is trying to help guide you in the right direction
• Look for a solution to your biggest issue that’s unlike any other solution you’ve ever tried
• Ask the universe to help you free your mind from your biggest worry
Missed the boat on this alignment?
Here are more dates over the coming 12 months when Mercury and Uranus are aligning:
18-Apr-22
14-Jul-22
28-Jul-22
16-Aug-22
09-Nov-22
17-Dec-22
08-Jan-23
30-Jan-23
21-Feb-23
11-Mar-23
Amazing things happen when we stay open to new ideas.
Do use these times to free your mind of any ideas which are keeping you stuck.
Post the pandemic, so many of us have had mental health issues. Some of us will need proper therapy to get us through and some of us will be lucky enough to be able to turn things more easily.
If you believe you fall into the second category, use the dates above to set the intention to turnaround (Uranus) mentally (Mercury). Then add in practises (especially meditation and exercise!) to support your goal.
We’ve got this!
As you just read, Mercury is about to meet Uranus as it moves forwards.
However in May 2022, Mercury will go into another retrograde cycle.
This brings up a whole new set of possibilities…
Now is a great time to get your head around this cycle – before it happens – so you can make the most of it and use it to revise, rethink and review EVERYTHING!
