Breathe New Life and Soul into Your Family Relationships ~ Celestial Oracle #437 – May 2024

What's on the Cards This month

On the Celestial Compendium cards this month is the planet Uranus (change, freedom and uniqueness) in the zodiacal sign Libra reversed (reflecting on your relationships) in the 4th Mansion of Life (home, family and soul).

URANUS - CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

The planet Uranus is associated with change, transformation and freedom from past limitations, mindsets, and ways of being. It invites the element of surprise, breakthroughs and spontaneous solutions that can radically alter and change your life for the better. With lightning speed, Uranus is a catalyst for liberating the soul so that you can evolve and experience your absolute uniqueness.

In exoteric astrology, Uranus is known for being unpredictable. As the harbinger of sudden change, it is connected to surprises and unexpected events that require us to readjust our thinking and change our perception of what we thought we knew.

From an esoteric astrology perspective, Uranus is the great liberator of the soul. It helps you to break free from self-imposed limitations, express your individuality and go beyond that which is familiar. Its liberating energy takes you into new and exciting territory where you can experience the limitless potential of your soul.

By keeping an open mind and embracing change as a positive force in your life, you can experience a greater awareness of who you truly are, knowing that true freedom comes from within.

Uranus is a catalyst for new insights and breakthroughs in your own consciousness that invite exciting opportunities for greater harmony and balance in your relationships with others (Libra), especially your family so that you can relate soul to soul with each other (4th mansion of life).

RESTORING EQUILIBRIUM WITHIN AND WITHOUT

The zodiacal sign Libra reversed in the 4^th mansion of life this month invites you to look at your relationships, particularly those closest to you such as family members and the people you live with. It is an opportune time to reflect on established relationship dynamics between yourself and others, and how your interactions may be coming more from a personality level than a soul level.

Be open to seeing how personality-based limiting patterns or emotional behaviours may be restricting you and your loved ones from being authentic with each other. For example, if you have been playing the role of peacemaker at home at the expense of being honest or neglecting your emotional needs and feelings to keep others happy, now is the time to break out of that old story and create a new one.

By inviting change and shaking things up a little new form of expressing yourself can emerge that will breathe new life and soul into your family relationships.

Use the balancing, harmonising, and cooperative energies of Libra to restore inner equilibrium and emotional balance within yourself first. As you liberate yourself from personality-based ways of relating you can discover a whole new way of connecting with each other that is soul-based. When you do this you and your loved ones can shine more brightly together.

CELEBRATE YOURSELF AND OTHERS

Uranus, the planet of uniqueness, helps you to unlock your individual genius and expand your perception of yourself so that you can be all that you can be, without limits. It invites you to express your individuality in a non-conformist, free-thinking, and liberated fashion.

The 4th mansion of life is associated with your, soul, family, and home environment. It is the realm of life that relates to soul, your psychological needs and how these are met.

The 4^th mansion invites you to explore your relationships with family members and those who you live with. By reflecting on established patterns of relating and choosing to break out of personality-based dynamics, you are opening doors for your soul to express itself in new and exciting ways, breathing new life into your close relationships.

This month and ask yourself the following questions:

• Am I expressing my true self, my soul self in my relationships with others?
• What do I need to do to maintain a sense of balance in the home and in my relationships with family members?
• Where do I need to shake things up and shift the energy in my home environment to invite positive change and new experiences?

THIS MONTH'S MAGICKAL INTEGRATION AND ACTION

Reflective Practices for the Inner Work of Transformation 

Here are some reflective practices to support you on your spiritual journey:

1. Set aside some time for yourself each day to get in touch with your feelings and emotions. Ask yourself: Am I feeling balanced and calm in myself? If the answer is no, ask yourself what you need to do to restore a feeling inner balance.
2. Move the furniture around at home! Moving furniture around is a great, practical way to shake up and shift stuck or stagnant energy in your home – your outer world reflects your inner world so invite the new by changing up your space and see what happens.
3. Rituals are a powerful practice for shifting energy and inviting positive and exciting change into your life. A ritual can be as simple as lighting a candle or burning your favourite incense first thing each morning and setting your intention for the day. You can anoint your candle with an anointing oil of your choice. If you want to have specific magickal focus for your ritual, then Eighth Ray Magick® rituals are perfect for that – see below the recommended ritual for this month.
