The Acceptance of Things

11/22/2015

“I did not like what you had to say during my astrology reading because it was the truth. Please, keep telling people the truth.” ~From A Client

The most life changing quote that I have ever come across is by Dr. Maya Angelou: “When people show you who they are, believe them.” The reason why this strikes such a chord is because I have a tendency to see people as I wish they were, and I am often deeply disillusioned when I finally see the real person standing in front of me. This quote reminds me of a conversation I had with an old friend of mine who said to me, “Tracey, people are going to disappoint you, and you are going to have to accept that.” As soon as he uttered these words, I knew that it was also his way of telling me not to be so hard on others when they don’t measure up to my expectations. I know that the acceptance of people, and circumstances, is necessary to prevent hurt, upset, or whatever feeling surfaces when something doesn’t go the way I imagined. I know better than to try to change a person, and I know when to stop forcing an outcome. As I get older, I get better at calling a spade a spade – it is what it is. What I still struggle with is what happens after
 the acceptance of things.
What to do once you have reached a place of acceptance depends on the situation, and it is a choice that you make. For example, I accept that racism exists, and so I choose to be a participant in whatever cures are available that can eradicate what has become endemic in our society. I accept that my grandparents have passed from this life, and so I often must recall a memory that warms my heart when I miss them. But what do you do after having to accept a group of people, or a person, that may be different from you? Someone who may have harmed you? Someone who has different beliefs, struggles, or opinions from you? What do you do once you have accepted that you are a victim of attack or oppression? The only answer I can think of is to show compassion. I realize that this is difficult, and the cynics among us may adamantly shake their heads in disagreement with such a response. But showing compassion has the effect of deepening the love in our hearts – a deepened love that is necessary for doing good in this world one soul at a time, starting with you.
​
The Sun and the planet Saturn are scheduled to meet up in the sign of Sagittarius. In Astrology, the Sun reflects our conscious, Saturn represents limitations and restrictions, and Sagittarius offers wisdom and knowledge. We are currently being called to accept what "just is” in our lives, and in the world at large. This will require the removal of what restricts us from seeing the truth, and the whole process will, for lack of a better word...suck. But it will also undoubtedly lead to a shift in perspective – one that reflects truth. The beauty in all this (yes, there is beauty here) is that the energy of Sagittarius is benevolent; what is revealed will be the lesson and message we need, encouraging us to take up arms with compassion and love to create a new reality, and maybe even save the world. Did I mention that Sagittarius is also optimistic? Check your horoscopes to see what’s in store this week ahead, and don’t forget to read for your Ascendant sign.

Very well said Tracy. Accepting the things we can't change, I am currently learning this as I speak.
