This week the Sun transits Gate 12: Caution. This Gate brings the gifts of poetry, fine art, pause, discrimination, and purity. When we deepen our love of what is authentic by expanding our heart, we experience art as life, and life as art. Art is ultimately meditation on transformations. It is the purity of the divine essence that threads through our existence ever drawing us to greater intelligence, subtle energies, and higher orders behind what we call life and the world. Because it is in the throat and connects to the emotion center, this gate allows us access to this archetype of Purity when we Pause, Breathe, and Feel. So take time to feel and breathe. Write a poem, draw a sketch, sing a song from your own heart. Feel the beloved inside, and shine it’s love on everything you feel and see.
