\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sun shares accomplishment – union of your intelligence and your spontaneous wisdom – intuition.  The wisdom of a heart which contains no \u201cdoubt\u201d and is void of the desire to control or dominate.  The knowledge that the \u201csource\u201d of your knowledge and power is not \u201cyou\u201d – that the source influences you and fills you, but its origin is not in you.  You must remain silently concentrated so that this relationship can develop and gain intensity and clarity to become fully conscious.  Revelation moves and teaches, it guides you – it is the \u201cgift\u201d of believing without any support from without or within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue to endeavor now to advance from the \u201cunderstanding of intuition\u201d to the use of it.  Regardless of your present circumstances, the adversity will be overcome – wholeness and harmony will prevail and there will be joy and happiness in your future.  Opportunity is in the offing, do not hesitate to move forward – go ahead, there will be many blessings – this is a time to be happy and give thanks.  Success lies ahead – growth of personal wealth as new ventures prosper.  You have come through the hardships and will be blessed with new beginnings and liberation.  Plan carefully for the future – obstacles can be easily overcome now – love and marriage will be very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During periods of stress – your consciousness falls back to the \u201csource\u201d of its being.  Say \u201cyes\u201d to yourself and the life you lead – accept the unique individuality of your body, mind and spirit.  Begin to bridge your beliefs, fulfill your abilities and reconcile all parts of your self.  The result of consciously accepting life-giving beliefs is the recognition of the integrity of your own being – the joyful release after the test.  Bring your \u201cinner\u201d light into consciousness and you experience a bright mind, a warm heart, an active body and a fiery spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice requires \u201caction\u201d in response to the knowledge gained about yourself.  The Hanged man teaches you to remain passive, for the Moon requires passive surrender since there is no way to control the visions rising with its influence.  The Sun is an active, energized state – by accepting the Moon\u2019s fearful images you bring the energy outside of yourself and give all life radiance.  Everything becomes simple, joyous and physical as the light of the unconscious is brought into daily life and the conscious and unconscious are joined together.  Successful passage from the Tower gives you a childlike simplicity.  The transfer happens all at once – a blinding revelation of the Tower, the inner radiance of the Star and the acute fear of the Moon are all join in a single instant of transformation and the aftermath is joy – a sense of all life and all the world being filled with wondrous light.  Enlightenment bears the same characteristics in all people, it is an experience – not an idea.  You feel struck by a burst of light and suddenly the world is seen or felt as spiritual and eternal rather than a day to day existence of drudgery and confusion.  You feel totally alive with a childlike joy that most children never really know – for you have gone beyond your childish fear of darkness by traveling through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sun represents knowledge.  You feel a sense of wisdom, seeing everything with total clarity – clear and direct as you are \u201cfilled with the light of understanding.\u201d You see everything as alive and holy, united through the light that fills all existence – unified and alive.  You experience a burst of freedom as you are liberated from the ordinary restricted consciousness to openness and freedom.  You feel a part of the whole rather than an isolated individual and you see the world in a new way.  You experience joy, happiness and great beauty as you experience optimism, energy and wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is your nineteenth stop.  Things are bright and clear in the Physical\/Material Plane.  The four aspects of the personality have been balanced and are healthy and functioning well.  Realization of physical and material goals.  Identification with the Earth, her products and offspring.  Harmony with Nature.  Productivity.  Preparedness.  Abundance.  Physical perfection.  Approaching the sense of atonement with the world\/universe.  There is a growing awareness of God in all material things, and materiality takes on a very spiritual sense for you.  Life can seem to move in slow motion as you extract the nuances of pleasure from each minute you are awake.  Split personality limitations are left far behind.  The dispelling of fears, casting away of shadows.  The power of conscious awareness to dispel darkness and fear.  There is a physical urging toward even greater consciousness.  Your physical conditioning pushes you forward; there is momentum.  Your body is confident; you have faith in yourself.  Here we will see happiness.  Here there is victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
