INQUIRY

     Sun in Gemini this month, the sign of curiosity. When your mind is open, and you genuinely want to know, you can inquire into the truth of anything and everything. You can stay with a question, asking it over and over, for days or even years. One great question to ask is: what am I experiencing right now? Another is: who am I? These are lifelong questions! Keep inquiring, looking deeply into what comes up for you, and eventually wisdom reveals itself. Assumptions, beliefs, historical stories about who you are emerge in layers of identity, and you keep looking, until the feeling comes that you are in touch with the truth.
     When I inquire into my heart each morning to write, or in my astrology sessions with a client, I wait to hear something that feels true. Going deeper than the buzzing and churning of the mind, going past the glib easy formulations of my own thinking, there is a voice that speaks with kindness and generosity. Not exactly thoughts or ideas, more like a sweet helpful space of invitation,
an encouraging feeling, like a really wise dad, or a mentor. That voice and that space is always there, and can be heard with patient listening. The mind wants to perform and pass the tests. The mind wants to figure it out and be clever. Real curiosity, real inquiry into the nature of things comes from the soul wanting to know itself, and from life wanting to express itself.
     So you inquire: what do I want to accomplish in my relationships? What is my purpose today? What am I afraid of? How is my life transforming? How may I express my love even more deeply?
