EGO
“Edging God Out.”
We are co-creating with an invisible force we often refer to as God.
Make time to establish a relationship with this force through: meditation, yoga, mantra, solitude, solitary exercise contemplation, emotional, intellectual, spiritual counselling, therapies, journaling, art, music, dance, praying..
Whatever route you are naturally drawn to that allows you to feel that you are finally connected to that greater source that is supporting your life is your authenticity.So often we feel connected only after we have reached our deepest darkest place and find a miracle gets handed to us in the most unexpected way. How often have you heard that a person finally is just relaxed and trusting in a higher force after they have been through something super traumatic. Why wait for the pain. Why not be proactive? Why not learn from all of those who have come before you? Why not just move into trust that you are here because you are supposed to be here and you are here because you belong here.
In reality we are somewhere around 10% conscious. Imagine!!
10%
Sometimes we can slip into thinking or acting like our 10% mattered more than all of the 90%! We slip into overdrive in trying to control the situation. Would you give somebody with 10% of the shares in your company control? Would you give yourself 90% of control? Maybe by the time you have learned the basic life lessons and actually experienced enough life to consider yourself ‘wise’. What if you were to have absolute faith in the fact that your 90% unconscious part is totally connected to source? What if you could surrender knowing that your “90U” is holding hands with God? Believe it!
When you are trying to run the show using only 10% of your faculties, no wonder things go wrong? This is when your ego is in play.
How do You Identify Your Ego?
Here is a clue; it is the area of your life that is slightly out of control.
It is often an area that you are blind to seeing or identifying within yourself.
That is why understanding your birth chart goes such a long way in helping you with such issues.
KNOW THYSELF
“KnowThyself” was what Plato and Socrates loved to discuss!

Truth is if you are interested in any form of spiritual practice, you will eventually come up against your ego! There is debate whether you must loose your ego to find peace in life. Personally I believe you do actually have to loose your ego, but you then have to regain it on your terms.
LOSS OF EGO
If you have lost you ego you know it!
It usually comes with a lot of loss, and pain.
it comes after you have to sit with yourself and say, ‘I surrender”.
What rises is humility.
When you have lost your 10% Ego ruling side, you give a chance for your “ 90U” to gently rise and you feel yourself become whole.
This is the process of life.
” YOUR TRUTH “
This Leo new moon is the perfect time to take some moments to go within.
Who are you?
What are your passions?
What do you believe in?
How authentically are you living your life?
Have you ever tried the game where you have 10 people and you begin by whispering a sentence into the ear of the first person and they in turn whisper what they heard to the next person and so on. By the time the last person receives the message it is almost 100% of the time a completely different message from the original. There is a huge lesson in this.
CONTROL
It’s normal if you don’t feel ‘in control’ a lot of the time. If you forget that you are working or creating with that unseen 90%, you will feel so alone.
The problem comes when you create some dramatic story and then try to bring others into your drama through positive or negative ‘personal marketing’.
So even when you are spending too much time feeling sorry for yourself, no matter your situation, you are acting in your Ego.
Ecktart Tolle explains this as attachment to the pain body in his work,” A New Earth.” This book is brilliant, which is why Ophra teamed up with him. I agree with Ophra, if people understood this simple principle it could be a new earth!
SANDHI
Sandhi is a cosmic portal for enlightenment! This new moon is within the 1 degree of Leo therefore is a”Sandhi new moon.”Zero -1 degree of a fire sign that borders on a water sign is called ,‘sandhi’.
Since enlightenment is a physiological experience that requires all systems to be operating at 100% so that the kundalini fire can rise, this frequency has an element of danger attached. If the kundalini does not rise correctly through the sushumna, all kinds of problems can occur. I encourage anyone who is interested in the process of Jiva Mukti or ‘enlightenment’ read Gopi Krishna.

For any of you with planets around 1-2 degrees of Leo this new moon is a great chance to take initiative to go to the next level of your development.
MAGHA
The nakshatra of this new moon is Magha, which means, ‘ the mighty one’.

“The virtues and vices of the father’s family, wealth, glory, beauty, strength and prowess, lustre and effulgence, superior qualities, sharpness of intellect, nobility, prestige, replenishment, and increase, wisdom, brilliance, capacity and willingness to donate..”
Magha is the nakshatra of luxury and power. It is the lion in the jungle on a perfect day, living in full glory of it’s authentic greatness.
WHERE DOES 1 DEGREE LEO FALL IN YOUR CHART?
This is where you will have an opening to touch your own authentic Power! Your truth. Your Authenticity! JUMP!
Love Only,
