I thought to present this week’s Stellar Insights in a different way. Well, thought isn’t necessarily the right word; more like I was moved to do so. Opening up that possibility,I immediately found a wave of inspiration come to my mind: to share some quotes by Rumi, those that I felt reflected some of the invitations that are upon us this week given the current astrological landscape.

This itself felt very meta, reflective itself of the astrology. After all, it’s a week infused by poetics, dreaminess, and the numinous given not only messenger Mercury making a harmonious alignment with unity-oriented Neptune, but that the latter’s waves are very loud in our consciousness given that it stations direct this week. We’re also on the heels of a Gemini Lunar Eclipse (happening on Monday, November 30), a call to see how the way we arrange inputs of knowledge can lead to new territorities of understanding. And, with the Venus/Uranus Opposition calling us to be innovative with our art (in addition to being flexible when it comes to our relationship to relationship), having my writing be catalyzed by a not-usual source felt very aligned as well.

So, without further ado, here are eight Rumi quotes that I hope will connect to you the possibilities of inspiration this week:

“Try something different. Surrender.“
“This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love you are.“
“Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.“
“When you feel a peaceful joy, that's when you are near truth.“
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.“

“You think because you understand 'one' you must also understand 'two', because one and one make two. But you must also understand 'and'.“
“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”

“I am so close, I may look distant.
So completely mixed with you, I may look separate.
So out in the open, I appear hidden.
So silent, because I am constantly talking with you.“
