I post this today to remind myself and all of us of the myriad seen and unseen forces which are acting on us whether we realize it or not: the primal elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether, and the planetary beings and star nations. We are usually quite aware daily of the impact of the Sun upon us and all the life on earth, and perhaps we notice the Moon when it’s full, as it was last night.  But perhaps we are less aware of the Moon’s impact on our bodies, which are made up of a lot of water, and on the tides of the oceans and other bodies of water.  Those of us who pay some attention to the aspects between the planets may have some understanding of the interactions between them as we all circle around the Sun and form sometimes harmonious aspects and sometimes challenging ones. 

But it is my understanding and my experience that there are many other unseen beings of great intelligence and power that influence and guide us, and that the more we become aware of them, the more helpful and useful and protective and inspiring they are. What might they be? Angels? Ancestral relatives? Saints and sages? All of these and more, I do believe.

And that doesn’t even count the impact of the consciousness of other human beings with whom we share this planetary home. People we know and people we don’t know. People who influence us through their words and actions, through books and social media (if we partake of those, which I do not), and through other forms of communication.

May we keep our minds and hearts open to greater awareness and understanding, and may we be greatly blessed by this, in ways that help us to know and fulfill our life’s purpose. Amen.
