Ego<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been collecting quotations about the \u201cEgo\u201d for years.\u00a0 We all know people that on the face of it display their ego prominently, but equally the last time I raised the issue three Geminis declared they had no concept of ego. A Libran once knew actively tried to remove her ego, motivated by her interpretation of the Alice Bailey teachings.\u00a0 The question of Ego: how much, or how little you should have, is related to self-esteem and self-love as well.\u00a0 Where I stand is that I feel we need some ego in order to operate and survive, self-esteem is worth working on but with an eye to an accurate self-evaluation, and self-love is something that you need to flow naturally from the heart.\u00a0 I have arbitrarily chosen a quotation for each of the zodiac signs to ponder, but read them all as you may not relate to the one I have chosen for your Sun sign or Ascendant.<\/p>\n

Aries<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping an adult ego is necessary for your personal health and well-being.\u00a0 An adult ego is that of a balanced, mature, kind, and loving adult.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Barbara Ann Brennan<\/p>\n

Taurus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA Course in Miracles says \u2018complexity is of the ego.\u2019\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s the very simplicity of a concept that makes the ego resist it most.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Marianne Williamson<\/p>\n

Gemini<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe more we help people expand their egos, to expand their consciousness, the deeper they will penetrate the centre point.\u00a0 The more they are able to pull through that which is unmanifest into manifestation, the more they will get used to the new frequency.\u00a0 As soon as they have a grasp that they have felt an aspect of the inner God force, they immediately can fall into identifying with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Chris Griscom<\/p>\n

Cancer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe ego is something we all have, whether we like it or not and in many cases it’s essential to have too, as it can actually believe it or not, help us with confidence and other areas in life as if we start to say something enough we start to manifest it into our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Lisa Williams<\/p>\n

Leo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn our journey as leaders, balancing our personal ambitions with the needs of our team presents a unique challenge. Central to this balancing act is our ego \u2013 a force that drives us towards achievement but can sometimes steer us away from our true leadership potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Shirley Palmer<\/p>\n

Virgo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you understand how the creative process works, the major function of the adult ego is to use your God-given free will to make healthy, holistic life choices based on a wholeness, trust and truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Barbara Ann Brennan<\/p>\n

Libra<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Attributed to the Buddha<\/p>\n

Scorpio<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJealousy is very much displayed with our ego and it’s something that I sadly see all the time, and it’s knowing not to react to this especially if it\u2019s you that this jealousy is aimed at. You have to rise above it and not allow it to eat away at you. There is no point because what is the use of reacting to someone else’s ego, that is just your ego then coming out as a display of protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Lisa Williams<\/p>\n

Sagittarius<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A student asks His Holiness the Dalai Lama the secret behind his famous childlike laughter.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cA relaxed mind, no ego, and the understanding that we are all the same human beings. He explains how seeing yourself as \u2018something special\u2019 creates stress and anxiety, while honesty, humility, and transparency are the true foundations of inner peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Dalai Lama<\/p>\n

Capricorn<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>It is our great challenge at this time to allow the unmanifest nature of our true beings to be present with our physical realities, so that our form becomes truly the form of God.<\/p>\n

~ Chris Griscom<\/p>\n

Aquarius<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you let go of the egoic self, what you\u2019re getting in exchange is the whole universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

~ Adyashanti<\/p>\n

Pisces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose who speak the loudest of what they\u2019ve become are often those who are still becoming. The ones who are truly stepping into something real? They tend to move a little quieter, a little softer, aware of how much they don\u2019t yet know. \u201c<\/p>\n

~ Cathy Cookson<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

First, a word about last week\u2019s astrology:<\/span>\u00a0 Uranus rules technology, and A.I.\u00a0 Last week, exactly on Uranus turning Retrograde, the issue of A.I. suddenly loomed larger than ever, being accused of having the capability of threatening the future of humanity in the near future.<\/p>\n

I had written:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>It’s time for a real re-think, re-evaluation, reflection and revision.\u00a0 Uranus of course is also the planet of rebellion and revolution.\u00a0 You need to review the way you do things, and the way you think about things, and find new types of solutions suited to future working.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts are now urging a slowing down of the research and accelerating capabilities for this new existential threat.\u00a0 In the decades since nuclear warfare was developed, the biggest fear was who may press the nuclear button, deliberately, accidentally or through a fit of madness.<\/p>\n

It seems now we have another, similarly powerful threat.\u00a0 So Uranus going Retrograde is exactly the right time to slow it down, and for those in the industry and governments to have a re-think, which is what retrogrades are about.\u00a0 It remains to be seen how much progress we will make on this reflection and in resulting action by the time Uranus goes Direct again next February (2027).<\/p>\n

On the BBC News website today:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis past week, between talk of growth and potential returns, tech titans found themselves addressing the abrupt resignation of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon.<\/em><\/p>\n

Coxon, a 27-year-old who worked at OpenAI before joining its chief rival Anthropic, said on Tuesday that people building artificial intelligence (AI) believed the technology could destroy humanity.<\/em><\/p>\n

They are “gambling with our lives”, he said, “these will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything”.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade,” a team lead at Anthropic, Evan Hubinger, posted on X.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anthropic’s boss, Dario Amodei, has come under fire for saying AI technology could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs and will \u2018test who we are as a species\u2019. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

Our aspects this week begin with a very relevant trine between Mercury and Uranus tomorrow (Monday 14th<\/sup>).\u00a0 This affords the chance for some sensible, constructive, and even brilliant conversation about the very topic of A.I. and technology.\u00a0 It can can inspire high functioning minds, intuition and good ideas (especially for Geminians).\u00a0 \u00a0Uranus will add extra spice to your plans, and documentation.\u00a0 Computers and technology should be on sparkling form and assist your expression.\u00a0 You may spring pleasant surprises.\u00a0 Writing projects may also flow.<\/p>\n

In the evening, the Sun will be sextile with Mars.\u00a0 This will bring opportunity for resolution within the area of conflict, especially in issues of force or even violence.\u00a0 Energy is injected into our affairs for the evening, if not the day.\u00a0 It should hopefully allow you to press on with active projects, and dynamically get your jobs done.\u00a0 Energywise, you might get a \u201csecond wind\u201d later in the day.<\/p>\n

Tuesday (15th<\/sup>) brings a more challenging energy, with a square between Pluto and Venus.\u00a0 This may affect Taureans and Librans more than most.\u00a0 It\u2019s a test for relationships and\/or money on that day.\u00a0 You may be wrestling with such questions.\u00a0 There may be deeper levels to unravel in relationships.\u00a0 Deep feeling issues may be preying on your mind.\u00a0 These will require some psychological soul-searching for a true interpretation, and may spur on honest-as-you-can-be interpersonal communication.<\/p>\n

The most important feature of this week is a sextile between Neptune and Pluto on Wednesday (16th<\/sup>).\u00a0 This is a deep structural coalescence, both materially and psychologically.\u00a0 Look at the big picture in the world, and in your own life, and society.\u00a0 On a personal level, it gives you a basic understanding and harmony with the culture you are living in, perhaps only on an unconscious level.\u00a0 But this is a sound psychological and in-depth basis for your psyche and life structure, if you can tune into it.<\/p>\n

On Thursday (17th<\/sup>) Chiron Retrograde dips back into Aries, where it had been for several years.\u00a0 There may be unfinished business to attend to, i\u2019s to dot and t\u2019s to cross.\u00a0 Perhaps some refined spiritual healing issues to perfect.<\/p>\n

A further challenge awaits on Friday (18th<\/sup>) in the shape of Saturn opposing Mercury. Saturn may bring more frustration and delay in communication and travel.\u00a0 There has been a great deal of travel chaos these last few months, so it would not surprise you to hear that.\u00a0 Communication-wise, you will be urged to think before you speak, or even to remain tight-lipped in order not to deepen an existing crisis.\u00a0 Documentation may be delayed, so you may have to tell someone “It’s in the post!”, or someone may need to say it to you.\u00a0 Patience may be your only recourse in this case, or scrutinizing the small print.<\/p>\n
