“When our soul-body is saying “no” to life, the first thing to ask is, “Is life, as I am living it, the right life for me right now?” When the soul-body is saying “no” to participation in the world, the first thing to ask is, “Does the word, as it is presented me, merit my full participation?” ~Charles Eisenstein.
Mutiny of the Soul is an essay written by Charles Eisenstein – author, speaker, and activist. In this piece, he discusses how we unconsciously rebel against certain aspects of life, when our Soul refuses to participate. Oftentimes, this can be covert. We may, for example, express disinterest at a party we didn’t want to attend, or give a poor performance at a job that doesn’t bring us joy. Overt ways of such mutiny, meanwhile, could look like complete isolation from others when we are dissatisfied. No matter the experience, a mutiny of the Soul is usually unconscious, and the manifestations can be physical (health concerns, aches and pains), mental (depression, fatigue) or psychological (manipulation, deceit).
Where in your life are you currently experiencing a mutiny of the Soul?

Where in your life are you currently experiencing a mutiny of the Soul?
Maybe you are questioning your vocation, or an important relationship. You may feel a need to withdraw from life entirely, but why – what is going on with your Soul? We may not be completely hip to the ways in which we often subconsciously self-sabotage life. But when our deepest intentions do not match our current reality, that is a clue that a mutiny is in effect. W.M. Paul Young said that “transformation comes when the way of our being matches the truth of our being.” If you are not living up to your Soul’s truth (and most of us are not), there may be signs and clues that show up as symptoms and frustrations. Where you become regularly avoidant and rebellious in your own life – there is where you may need a soulful realignment.
We are entering eclipse season this week, with a Lunar Eclipse on Monday, August 7, followed by a Solar Eclipse on Monday, August 21. Both cosmic events are happening on the Aquarius-Leo axis, a pair of signs known for being fiercely independent, soldiering along a path toward self-actualization, and self-determination. The Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius will force us all to be rid of narratives, ideas, and stories that no longer speak to who we are on a Soul level. The Solar Eclipse in Leo will force us to embrace a new narrative, idea, and story that is solely unique to our Soul’s truth. Whatever that might be for you, dear reader – whatever your Soul is trying to reveal to you one mutiny at a time – listen. Pay attention.
Check your horoscopes to see what’s in store this week ahead, and don’t forget to read for your Ascendant sign, too.
