| As above so below doesn't apply to some things and not to other things. It applies to everything, everywhere, all at once.
It applies to the weather, which never fails to remind us we're not in this alone. We're not the only consciousness weaving this world...other people, the animals, the sky and cosmos are also contributing with us. We're not their victims, and they're not doing things "to us"; rather, we are one...they are "with us" as we are "with them" -- it's a classic Libra lesson for this Libra ecliptic season.
When individuals are confronted by a local version of a hurricane, for example in their own bodies, the first reaction to the suggestion an illness is not an isolated random chaotic event -- but is inextricable from their mind and spirit -- is to say "So, it's my fault." So, it's my fault I'm sick...Or, it's my fault the hurricane destroyed my house: my fault, my fault, my fault.
You can hear a very little child in that voice. This perspective is what can be healed now more than ever during this Jupiter Retrograde cycle from October 9 - February 4, 2025. Our perspectives and beliefs (Jupiter) can become even more expansive by reflecting on those little, everyday thoughts we think (Gemini). |

| First and foremost "It's my fault" insinuates there's a problem. And it's a problem that you need to solve NOW! But like the Zen Story of the Chinese Farmer, it's hard to know, if any our problems are indeed...problems. There's pain, there's suffering, no one should deny it, but "problems" in most cases tends to be a matter of perspective.
And, have you ever tried to solve or control your "problems" from the outside in?: "If I could just get this person to do this then I'll be better?" Or, "If I could just vote in this president than XYZ?" And, how'd that go? Try as I might, I've never been able to get that method to work for me.
Similarly, have you ever tried to control things from the inside out?: "Ok, I'm gonna choose to be happy because if I get happy first thennnnn I'll get everything I want and feel peace! OK!" Ever tried that when you were feeling reallllyyy down? Cause it hasn't worked for me, not really!
So, we get ourselves into some pickles when we make it about fault, or when we make it about control, or when we make it about what we can get.
So what's this life and our experiences all about...if it's not about what "we can get from it" through blame or control? |

| It's about Love, just like they've all been saying. And what's love? It's the opposite of Fear. It has no conditions, no XYZ. It's unconditional.
"I love the hurricanes"
"I love myself"
"I love my body"
Unconditionally.
When we love the weather/Mother Nature, there's no guarantees what that will "get us". We don't know what it's gonna do for us or what we're gonna get out of it, but we love it anyway.
When we love our inner weather, we don't know what's going to happen as a result of loving ourselves and all our big feelings, we just love ourselves anyway.
So in any case, we don't know what love will "get us", but what we do know for a FACT is that it feels soooo much better than grasping for control, because it is our more natural way. We are the most ourselves when we are unconditional.
And while we can't force ourselves to be happy when we feel super sad, we can choose at any time to be unconditional. And that's the never-ending journey. Unconditionally loving this experience, the "good" or "bad".
There are few people so far who have managed to do this unconditional love thing full time 24/7. Christ, the Buddha, and probably some people living in a cave somewhere. When we don't feel unconditional, let's be inspired by them and not berate ourselves for the length and nature of our individual path, for however long it takes us. We'll get there when we get there.
From now until February 4 it's a powerful time to hold this perspective and our world could really use it. There's a lot of suffering out there. If you could use some assistance, or if you're curious about the specifics of Jupiter's Retrograde for your own spirit and where some long-held beliefs are now being released in you, refer to my services on innerlightwithjane.com.
Love to you all,
