\""uranus<\/a><\/strong>The first stage is shock.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the same for all life transitions, including being born. Then you enter stage two, the Sun stage<\/strong>. You’re adjusting. You know where you are.<\/p>\n

Stage two, the Sun stage, is when you have to find some light in the matter,\u00a0<\/strong>no matter how small, how measly its blaze. Sometimes its all you have.<\/p>\n

Today in the Fire class<\/strong> (the astrology class I’ve been teaching for the last two weeks) one of the participants wanted me to repost my\u00a0Ten Keys of Fire<\/strong> — the Fire of Courage and the Fire of Faith, to name just two — and I was reminded of where I hoped to stay, for the moment: a medium-low flame<\/em>. Steady. Dial up if I need. Dial down if I need. But not to let the fire go out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Figures that our next Tarot card up for meditation is The Sun<\/strong>. Everyone is happy to see the Sun. Here are some key phrases:<\/p>\n

-show the world who you are
\n-shine a light
\n-vitality
\n-good health
\n-healthy ego
\n-success
\n-believe in yourself
\n-you’re the one to watch
\n-glory
\n-great job!
\n-no more secrets, truth comes out, now you know, no mystery here, all is CLEAR
\n-achievement
\n-power
\n-acclaim
\n-joy
\n-birth
\n-happy happy happy<\/p>\n

In the Rider Waite version of the card<\/strong>, we see a huge yellow sun, preening sunflowers, and a buck-naked child on a white horse with arms open wide as if to say: \u00a0HERE I AM<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Sun card<\/strong> is such an announcement to all who see it: \u00a0you are here. You have arrived.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
