Chokmah's Expectancy

I woke up reflecting on the Tarot card, the Fool. It is the Path from Kether to Chokmah. I feel that sense of expectancy - of being close to the edge - seeking the trust to jump off. Since I am ascending the Tree of Life, I feel I have to find the trust to face my God - and my Self.

Chokmah's Urging

I feel the urging of Chokmah. Its force certainly has not diminished. Chokmah's force now feels more like an urge to create - to move forth - rather than a drive to do so. I still see how my thoughts can interfere with right action, that I get too involved in the why or how to do and not enough in the doing.

Chokmah

This morning I realized how mercurial I am. I like a lot of movement in my life. And almost instantly after I claimed that awareness, I saw the dance of my life. I have sometimes rushed through parts of my life tripping over emotions and situations just to get past them. I believe this was the force of my ego. I need the force of Chokmah to move through my dance steps (or perhaps at times move me through the dance).

Chokmah & the Zodiac

The planet or Mundane Chakra associated with Chokmah is the Zodiac. The Zodiac is the path of constellations that the Sun crosses during the year. I am Capricorn, Leo rising, Moon in Taurus. Being in Chokmah has given me promptings from the other Zodiac signs. Pluto, in my 12th House, has been influencing how compassionately I look at my life - and demonstrate in it.

Chokmah

Kether is the Point and Chokmah is the Line from that point. And I feel that I am traveling along the Line, getting closer to Kether. There is a comfort in that. There is a growing sense of expectancy within me. I am not sure what I am expecting....

Chokmah's Sacredness

I am feeling a bit holy. It is as if the reflection of Kether is shining upon me. I am beginning to think differently about my goals and my service. As I re-adjust my self-esteem, I find a growing awareness of how good my life is. It doesn't stem from what I have - it is from who I am becoming.

Chokmah and my Will

I was playing with my fluorite pendulum this morning. I haven't used one in a long time. I made it move in several different ways (back & forth, clockwise & counterclockwise). Suddenly I thought of the force of Chokmah. Here I am, moving the pendulum - and if I can do this, then where is the force of my thoughts going? What am I putting my attention on - my force on? Which leads me to the thought that anything that is not working out in my life - I have put force on (or through)it in some way...not an exceptionally pleasant realization. And ever the optimist, this gives me hope that all can change very easily.
