EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE

There is a melding of opposites right now and an opportunity to see “both/and” if we so desire. When we use this phrase, “both/and,” we are emphasizing that not just one, but also the other of the joined elements is included. This Full Moon in Aries reminds us to assert ourselves, and with the sun in Libra, we are being called to attend to the needs of others.

So we witness and experience both of the opposites: putting ourselves first and putting others first, and we tap into what it is to bring these qualities together.

The self is you. Only you are in your body and only you know your experience. Stand up for what you need, what you desire, and what you hold dear. Be honest, open, and clear when communicating. This might cause conflict, but it’s okay to disagree with things outside of you every once in a while. Again, only you truly know your experience, and others only know theirs. While contending with people, experiences, ideas, etc. is not the only pathway for growth of the self, it is a pathway. When there is uneasiness and opposites clashing, we pay attention, right? It draws out an understanding of peace, a desire for it, and ultimately in some form, taking action towards creating it.

We, as humans, have the ability to know and care for others (not just people, but truly anything outside of ourselves is an option for this) as much as we know and care for ourselves. There is an understanding of what it is to care, to love, and have some sense of empathy for what is outside of the bodies we inhabit at least once in our lives, if not many times. Of course, there will be exceptions. If you are reading this, though, think of your own experiences. Can you remember the times in your life when you’ve truly cared, loved, and empathized with anything outside of yourself? The answer is probably yes. You know what’s involved in doing this, right? Everyone does it a little differently, but we all know what it is to put others first, meeting the needs of those around us, and compromising.

Sooo, here we are. There is a conflict between “me” and “you” right now. There is also a coming together of the two. What magical third thing is possible with both “me” and “you” existing separately and together in harmony and in conflict. Everyone is for everyone, but also for themselves at the same time. There is a flow state between it all. It’s already happening. We shift and transform in the moment. Our desires change and so does the whole “getting along” thing. We get along as we get along. We can seek wholeness within ourselves while also wanting to be there for others. It’s a pendulum, just like most things in life. Your balance is different from others. It’s gonna shift moment to moment. This full moon is just making it extra apparent.
