Diary of a Heretic

Running the gauntlet is an ancient form of physical punishment wherein a man is compelled to run between two rows – a gauntlet of soldiers who strike him as he passes. Well the recent lunar and solar eclipses has had me feeling like I have been running such a gauntlet. The solar eclipse in Cancer in particular may have seemed rather uneventful to some, but the neglected aspects of my life have been literally shaken loose and major issues have now been rising to the surface to be dealt with.

I have been in this strange state of transition for the past year and at the moment I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place. According to some psychics, it appears that we are all living in between the old and the new. On one hand you may be in the process of dealing with past aspects of your life (finances, legal matters, relocation, relationships, etc), and on the other, your new life is coming more clearly into view and is patiently waiting for you to make the full transition. Insights of new opportunities may be popping up in your mind and you may be feeling intense pressure to get a whole lot of things done; you know how it goes, “There is so much to do, and so little time to do it in”.

At the moment I am heading towards a complete change in direction and the effects of these eclipses are propelling me forward to my ultimate goal at break neck speed. The Universe in the meantime is enticing me with glimpses of my new reality. This new life is what I have dreamed about for years, and yes it will be an exciting phase but this integration won’t be complete until I have finally cut loose all those encumbrances and then who knows what will happen.
