Much of my own personal work has been trying to get more in tune with my 3rd house (North Node). This process has led me to a teaching clip of Reginald Ray via Soundstrue.com (which if you don't know the site, i recommend it as they have some really good interviews with healers and spiritual teachers, etc that they stream for you to listen to or fast forward to the next one and so on).

Anyway, in it he talked about how scientists are now convinced that not only is the universe expanding, but the more remarkable thing is that there is no singluar "center" that it is expanding from. Instead what they have come to understand is that EVERYTHING in the universe is expanding from its own center. ...take that in fully for a moment. Can you feel what that means inside your own body? Inside your own heart? What this suggests is that we are the centers of our own universe.

On the one hand we can examine that idea and come to the conclusion that we are all innately self-centered. We can take that down an unhelpful road and use it as an excuse or justification for all kinds of equally unhelpful behaviors.

On the other hand we can examine that idea and really try to open our hearts to what that intrinsically suggests. When i examine it in this light what i see is that everything in our perceptual experience is in fact an outgrowth of our center. In otherwords we create the reality we find ourselves living in. So, if we wish to "discover" the nature of our true selves, we need then only become very AWAKE and interested in whatever reality we happen to be in.

So that horrible news story that you feel so shocked by (aka:judgemental about)... well, what does it teach you about your own Mars function? Or your own Saturn or Pluto? That person at your job, who you can't seem to really feel any compassion towards... what does that teach you about your own 10th house? And what about your spouse or partner, who if they would only change or grow or behave differently, then you could finally be happy or whatever... what does that tell you about your own 8th house? Or your own Venus function?

Astrology teaches us that whatever we don't work, works us. Whatever we do not address and acknowledge inside of ourselves will no doubt find a way to dance with us in a far more tangible form. There are many spiritual traditions that come from a stand point of "owning your reality". Much of the ongoing Pluto-Uranus square is geared to bring those suppressed, denied and unaccepted parts of our selves to the very fore.

So i encourage you to endevor to get really curious about your world and whatever is in it and whatever is happening. See if you can step up to the plate and claim it. 100% of your experience grows out of your own very center. The universe is expanding and we are in fact in the driver's seat... So what quality of vibration are you going to flavor your universe with?
