Hi purple_scorp,
This must have been a hard time for you. I can definitely see the power you speak of in Scorpio 5, A MASSIVE, UNCHANGING ROCKY SHORE RESISTS THE POUNDING OF THE SEA.
When other's are troubled and we are fully in the present, focused on supporting and soothing their pain. It can be difficult being a tower of strength when inside we're crying too....we feel their pain. This must have been a difficult time for you.
Just this month, Helvetica and I did a Sabian symbol study. One of the symbols was this symbol. I hope Helvetica doesn't mind that I have copied this symbol here. It reflects my thoughts on this symbol.
LEO 20
AMERICAN INDIANS PERFORM A RITUAL TO THE SUN
Sun Dance
Written by the Heart of the Sun
As I rise, and cascade my light down into the dark depths below, the beauty and immensity of the earth still awes me. Today, I see the hustling and bustling of all my old friends setting up teepees and preparing to wear their best clothes and face paint to dance with me!
Their sun dance pole soars into the sky, taller then ever, and to the west, the mountains peer down on them like a council of old warriors. Within the shadows, the rocks the soil, I see images of old chiefs awakening, following on their horses, joining to be a part of this yearly ritual. (thoughts spring from beneath the world, like the deep waters underneath the surface of the oceans….strange currents….unsuspected truths silently stir…..their movements ripple upon the surface…rituals connect us to our passions, our love of nature, beauty, others…)
I see here, Nations that were once at war coming together (Karma) after hundreds even thousands of years of struggle.
Helvetica when there is talk about inner shifts, we have a tendency to see them as special events, specific dates, here it is connected to the Summer Solstice. If I were your guide, I would symbolize these inner shifts like an earthquake where the ground suddenly quakes and slides and assumes a new design. But for the most part the influx of these energies takes place, gradually over time.
Inner shifts occur within consciousness, within beings, not within environments. Energy says your guide is an expression of LIFE, not some blind force. You are right now becoming more loving, more empowering, attentive to others needs,…….each small step leads us to a new energy….each expression a blend of LOVE and WILL manifesting as a quality of holistic freedom….unconditional love!!!! (hmm Joe seems to be talking with you too.)
You are closer than ever with your own nature…, with your higherself…….be patient with yourself, love and nurture yourself, and Unconditional LOVE will flow naturally.
A negative attribute of this symbol is a desire to give oneself to a tribe or group. There has to be a sense of freedom in connection with LOVE at our heart chakra. If we give ourselves to others our heart will ‘act up’ trying to get its freedom!!!
Love
