HARVEST
aka… the pearl

“The Pearl is in this sense a wormhole - but unlike most wormholes, it does not lead us to another dimension. This wormhole leads us home to our everyday life. It is here, now, in your everyday life where your harvest can be found. ”
CONSCIOUS jupiter
We have explored this gate from the planetary perspective in the Archetypes in the Meeting Ground and now will focus on it through the lens of the HARVEST, as a path to prosperity through simplicity, through service and through our own ordinariness, our day to day lives.
As we move along the journey in Being Bounteous we have the opportunity to make quantum leaps. We have worked (or are most likely still working) to transmute our wound into our ally, to compost it + make it our muse. We have questioned + contemplated how we wish to be of service in the world, what the thing is we most want to offer, that we are here, in this moment, to offer, understanding that when we serve the whole, we also serve ourselves. And, hopefully we are spending ample time doing the inner work to heal + open our hearts as this is key to it all, which also means simply - loving ourselves, being kind + compassionate with ourselves, having fun, keeping our hearts open, following joy...
In exploring this energy we must move beyond logic, to contemplate from a space of receptivity, of openness, to hold space for multiple truths + fields to exist, moving beyond the limitations of our minds.
When we bring harmony to our Vocation, Culture + Brand we can find integration through the Harvest.
“Infinite systems exist in infinite dimensions. On account of this truth, the existence of ‘closed’ systems can be seen as false. The perceived ‘openness’ of any system is always equivalent to the frequency of consciousness pervading it. It is therefore the degree of ‘openness’ of a given system to its own multidimensional nature that directly determines the flow of energy through that system. ”
Read about the GATE of your HARVEST here. Contemplate it and its Gift with your Line below in mind.
shadow
The Shadow here is about the ways in which we forget what is really important. This Shadow also carries tightness as this is a state that is created when we forget to love ourselves, when we lead with stress rather than hunting for beauty, when we compromise our dreams for societal conditioning + comparisons.
These shadows reveal the inner work we will repeat over and over until we have fully integrated and accepted it. This comes from fully opening our heart to this challenge. Every time we recognize and become aware of a Shadow and we accept and embrace it, we unlock another gift within our DNA.
This isn’t something to be fixed and then move on. These are the challenges we face over and over in our life. The healing that isn’t linear but a spiral, we circle back around, heal on a deeper level, unlock another gift. The more we continue to open and accept, the deeper we go and the more shadows and gifts we are able to reach.
This is the embodiment of as below, so above; as within, so without. The internal unpacking is represented in our outer reality.
gift
The Gift here is about inner seeing. It is the gift that lies behind the awareness around the events that shape our lives. It is not some transcendent idea but lucidity grounded in the ordinary. Rudd compares it to the warm hearth at the heart of a home - not distinctly mental, physical or emotional but including all three. It is pure awareness.
As you work with your Shadow, it is important to hold its Gift (and Highest Vibration) in the same container, to lean in.
The HIGHEST VIBRATION is essentially attained enlightenment. It is said that the act of seeking enlightenment is still a form of shadow. I touch briefly on the highest vibration b/c I think it’s a seed we plant toward spiritual realization. It’s not something we try to attain. When we reach for it, we are playing into Shadow.
A space to silence your mind and move beyond time.

So if the number in the ninth box down on the right black column says 44.2, then your Conscious Jupiter is in gate 44, line 2.

Prompts
How does your Gate relate to the themes of the line in this context?
In many ways this energy is less about contemplation and more about absorption. Marinate in this energy on your path to embodiment.
Cultivate more simplicity in your life. What does that mean for you?
What if as you are doing this work, you held space for everyone else doing it as well, those moving through these modules now and in the future, also moving into more prosperity in their lives. You can also do this for people in your life. When you are setting your intentions, set the intention that everyone grows their prosperity. When you are playing your movie in your mind while you are chanting include the dreams + desires of those working along side you coming true for their highest good as well, for members you don’t know in their own homes, in different cities + countries. Hold some space for the collective, for this fractal, for the community prospering, knowing that our magic is greater + more powerful together, that we are more than the sum of our parts. And that when one prospers, we all prosper.
Meditate on these energies. Sit and breathe. Let it roll around in your mind like a marble. Contemplate it as a spiritual practice.
Get creative. Write a story or poem, collage, sing, choreograph, dance, cook, daydream, walk in nature, sit with the trees, start a convo, paint, create from this energetic space.
“True prosperity is about knowing how to use the time you are given on this earth to do something truly worthwhile. It doesn’t matter whether it is grandiose or humble, it must be something worthy of your name. ”
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
Practice generosity as you contemplate this energy: with your love, with your resources, with your compliments…
Look in the mirror, place your hand on your heart, say your name out loud followed by “I love you”. Do it again. And again. What does it bring up? How hard is it for you to do? Do you dismiss its power? Feel silly? Do it again. Make it a practice.
Practice BIG SIGHS as a way of releasing SHADOW. Follow where they take you.
Embodying the Feeling of Prosperity through Our Physical Body - The BREATH - simple practice below + revisit the Breathwork from the journey as well as resonant breath + pranayama practices, and big sighs above, as you navigate this energy.
