Square Dancing Week

Welcome one, welcome all to this rollicking new week. The cosmic choreography will keep us square dancing as most days this week the caller's voice constantly crackles over the celestial microphone.

As far as placements go, squares tend to get a bum steer in astrolore. Framed as fractitious they are all too easy to nod at and make clumsy attempts to avoid, without wrangling what stands opposite. Squares pit planets at odds with each other in an aspect that always tickles their underbellies. And what happens in the stars plays out here below darklings, whether we are tuned to the music of the spheres or not.

Squares boast an inherent when push comes to shove sensibility. They slam their weight around to challenge us, because the truth is we learn far less when things are peachy. What they always show us is our need to reach compromise, to craft an unholy marriage between opposing states that leads us somewhere new.

So as this week unfolds and the dance begins to whirl about you, you can expect some stepping on feet, awkward grabbing and missed beats. And each time it happens, trust your intuition and your instincts to get back into the swing of it. The ones that move your hands and heart towards what you really want and where you truly want to be. The kind that do their best work unaided by your krumping mind.

The man who taught me to dance arm in arm always said it was important to both know the steps and surrender to the flow of the music. To know how to let yourself be led and twirl without losing your balance. To pivot in time to the beat and keep your head up. And above all else to enjoy the dance.

This is no week to spend looking at your feet or counting steps that have already passed. We are all outside our comfort zones and learning how to craft them anew. Tune your senses to fill your dance card and keep you in time.

Chin up, shoulders back, let's see what we're made of, you and I.
