| Knowing Who You Are is Freedom. |
Tomorrow, we welcome the New Moon in the cardinal water sign of Cancer, the Crab. Those who know Cancer folks or Crab energy know very well the paradox of this most sensitive sign. No other sign exhibits such tremendous sensitivity in the underbelly, yet has such a tough outer shell.
Cancer energy is STRONG. STRONG AND SENSITIVE. In its highest vibration, Cancer represents some of the best of sovereignty – individual freedom and governance – because it is in touch with what it NEEDS for proper self-care. It knows what it needs so very well because the tiniest straying from equilibrium is felt intensely to the point of physical, emotional, spiritual pain. Therefore, Cancer teaches us to listen – on all levels – to that which is true and good and right for us. When we do that, we are rock solid.
We’ve been hearing a lot about sovereignty in the last few years. It’s been used in many contexts. Standing up for oneself is the main theme. It means knowing what is TRUE and GOOD and RIGHT FOR YOURSELF and trusting that knowing, and acting upon it. It also means only doing that which you really WANT to do.
I talk a lot about this in my writings. Why? Because the external cultural pressure of conforming, of having certain beliefs, of censoring one’s voice, of putting certain things into one’s body or mind, of consuming a set of constructs about the way we are supposed to live, is becoming more and more insidious.
If I
am honest with myself, I’ve seen this building for the past 10-15 years. The
very groups who formerly professed a “live and let live,” or “let your freak
flag fly” are adhering more to a Goliath-scope pressure to live
within a very narrow realm of behaviors and ideals. Cancel culture and self-censoring is on the rise. Whatever happened to
freedom?

I came out of the womb as a freedom-loving Aquarius. I was destined to be individuated my whole life. As a Water Bearer, I archetypally carry the torch for all people and peoples who need the freedom to be true to themselves. NOT AN EASY TASK when you get down to your own nitty gritty, ferreting out deeper layers of attachment.
The first step is to SEE THINGS ACCURATELY. It is vital to
see cultural conditioning for what it is. Sure, you might initially resonate with what the mass consciousness is projecting on the screen; yet looking closely
and listening, you’ll likely have your own intuition about what is good and true and
right for you, and that may likely be counter to what you are TOLD to believe,
to do. Check your heart, your body, your emotions, your gut. Even your "Spidey-sense."

| Sovereign Tarot Friends Say Hello (Morgan-Greer) |
Due to forces outside of our immediate vision, but actually right in front of our literal faces (screens), we are being projected upon with a gargantuan force that tells the people, THIS IS WHAT IS YOU NEED. THIS is who you are if you are a conscientious person, a good citizen, a person that deserves to live in this society, nation, world. And if you feel otherwise in your heart, soul, body, gut, intuition, you may be pressured to conform to the point of cancellation, ostracism, exile.
Why the attempted bullying? Yes, the messages may come with the smile of “it’s for your own good,” but is there is a sickly feeling underneath it? Many sniff something fishy, sense that there is a power-hungry element afoot. The need to CONTROL is ferocious right now. And that desire to control usually arises from a great deal of FEAR, or INSECURITY, or GREED, to name just some of the vicious, sneaky, diabolical forces in the collective shadow.
How does one start to plug into self-sovereignty, as a bridge to ultimate freedom? One tool is beginning to NOTICE when you are going against that which is true and good and right for you. You won’t be able to bear it much longer. Think of the sensitivity of Cancer, noticing every single irritating grain of sand against the soft underbelly. Or the princess and the pea. You’ll notice every inkling of movement that goes against the truth of what you need. The road gets narrower.
Here’s a great mantra:
“I promise to do only that which is good and true and right for me.”You’ll get it down, no worries.
Your spirit will not let you
stray.

| Mantra. End of Story. |
I am free.
The truth of who I am is free.
No matter what happens to this body, I am free.
The truth of who I am is free.
No matter what pollutants are fed, I am free.
The truth of who I am is free.
Wild and free.
