Piscesconstellation - ☽✪☾

The heart chakra - the wellspring of love, warmth, compassion, and joy is located in the center of the chest at the heart level.

Anahata moves love through your life.

It is the center of your deep bonds with other beings, your sense of caring and compassion, your feelings of self-love, altruism, generosity, kindness, and respect.

Anahata is an integrating and unifying chakra - bringing to wholeness - as such, it is your healing center. Indeed, most spiritual traditions recognize love as the ultimate healing force.

The energy of anahata allows us to recognize that we are part of something larger, that we are interconnected within an intricate web of relationships extending through life and the universe.

Anahata allows us to recognize and get in touch with the sacred and fundamental truth that runs through all of life and connects everything together.

The “way of the heart” or the “path of the heart” is living your life from this energy center of love.

It means living your life with loving kindness and compassion towards others. It means that your heart is open to others and you inspire kindness and compassion in others. You create safe and supportive environment.

Others can feel your love and warmth. They feel loved and accepted unconditionally. People feel at peace around you, as there is no judgment coming from you.

When anahata is open and energy is flowing freely, you are not only loving to others, you are also loving to your self. You know when you need to say no and when you need care and self-nurturing.

All of the seven chakras are important and while I cannot say that the heart chakra is the most important, I do want to say that it is very important.

Most of the world’s spiritual traditions recognize love as the unifying force, the energy that is the most fundamental part of the universe, and of ourselves.

To open to  love is to reach to the deepest places and connect with our true essence, our spirit, and our soul.

Signs your fourth chakra may be out of balance

The heart chakra can become imbalanced as a result of life experiences that have a strong emotional charge, physical illments, or significant changes in your environment. It may manifests as a blockage in the energy flow or, on the contrary, a tendency to become overactive or have an excess of energy.

You can see the following signs of imbalance in the heart chakra :

Being overly defensive

Feeling closed down

Jealousy; fear of intimacy

Codependency, relying on other’s approval and attention, trying to please at all cost

Always putting oneself in the role of the savior or the rescuer; or on the contrary, falling into victimization

Excessive isolation, being recluse, antisocial

Holding grudges, not being to forgive

At the physical level, it can manifest as:

Respiratory ailments, such as lung infection, bronchitis

Circulatory and heart-related issues

Simple ideas to balance the heart chakra

To get started, try out these few simple practices:

Work with the breath to balance your energy; observe it, play with it with breathing exercises

Cultivate your appreciation for beauty, whether it’s in nature, people or in the arts

Practice self-care and love your body up,

Cultivate self-compassion and acceptance, especially with regards to your emotions and body

Engage in activities that feed your heart

Focus on receiving if you are naturally inclined to be a giver; and on giving if you’re more inclined to receive all the time

Reflect on old wounds inherited from family relationships and come to terms with them compassionately; practice forgiveness deep within your heart

Express your gratitude, even if it’s in silence; you can be grateful for the presence of other people in your life or simply for good things that make your life easier and happier.

Moon

The house your moon is in represents how and where you store your emotions. The sign represents how the emotions operate, how they are dealt with and expressed. 

“There is a philosophy, that the world we perceive through our senses, is only a version of a deeper reality. The Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato, taught that the world of our senses is a distortion, a mirage… like a shadow playing across a wall. Many historians believe that the Greeks were influenced by spiritual thinkers from India, where the idea of a deeper reality has a very long history. In Sanskrit, the word "maya” refers to this illusion and the selective view of reality we perceive through our senses. Beyond our manifest physical universe, there is a field of energy, information, and intelligence that orchestrates and governs the material environment. This ground state of creation is called the conscious energy field.

The conscious energy field does not exist independently of our perception of it. In other words, reality is a two-way street. We are both transmitters and receivers of information. We are both the creation and the creators of the conscious energy field, and are participants in a consciousness-created universe. This doesn’t mean that there’s no external reality, or that the universe literally takes place inside our heads. What it means is that the physical universe has no qualities or attributes in the absence of a conscious observer. For example, we see color as an attribute of physical reality. But color is not really inherent to reality. Instead, the phenomenon of color is a response made by the human nervous system to stimuli from the environment. We experience color as if it’s happening outside us, but we’re actually projecting it from inside us, and creating the phenomenon of color in the conscious energy field. This knowledge, combined with the power of intent, can allow you to create other phenomena in your life. By simply intending to create something, you have now begun to nurture that result in the physical world.“ -Deepak Chopra / Artwork by @tropicalgloom

Jupiter and the Law of Attraction

Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that Jupiter being in someone’s 1st house or having Jupiter rule their rising is sometimes described to be a placement that can “bring luck wherever the individual goes”.

Let’s look at Sagittarius and Pisces (Jupiterian beings) separately to evaluate this.

Sagittarius is often pinpointed as an optimist. The Law of Attraction states that you attract what you think. Therefore, an optimistic Sagittarius will only attract good things to their life, appearing “lucky” to the outside world. In addition, many great philosophers (Philosophy is a Jupiterian subject) followed this law and believed in it.

Pisces, on the other hand, attracts fortune through fantasy. A Sagittarius will simply expect or hope for the best while a Pisces will fantasize about what they wish would happen/be happening. This channel of thought enforces the Law of Attraction and gives a Piscean what they desire. This ease of manifestation is also why Pisces may easily bring their own self-undoing. Pisceans are known to soak up emotions that are around them. Once this gets into their head and messes up their thoughts, then undesirable events happen; this chain of events falls within the Law of Attraction.

Of course, at the end of the day, Pisceans are still under the care of Neptune: a guide who will release Pisces to the clouds without a tie to bring them back to reality. This could be the difference in how Pisces and Sagittarius experience luck. Sagittarius is very grounded and eager to learn as well as initiate action while Pisces is busy dancing in the clouds.
