In this episode of Cycles of Time, host Alison Dale delves into understanding ambition within the broader tapestry of seasonal, astrological, and personal cycles. Drawing rich metaphors from ancient Chinese culture and the symbolism of Capricorn's Sea Goat, we explore the profound balance between ambition and humility, patience, and accepting the mystery.

Key highlights include:

  • The influence of astrological events like Pluto's opposition to Mars, and the significant shift as the North Node moves into Pisces.

  • A deep dive into Human Design's Gates 54 and 61, unearthing themes of ambition and inner truth.

  • Personal storytelling from Allison, recounting her transformative journey up Mount Emei, China.

  • Insights on the importance of embracing life’s mysteries and intuitive, reflective practices during the winter season.

  • Discussion on the decline in reading comprehension and the need to value diverse forms of knowledge.

  • Audience engagement and fostering community growth through various platforms.

Alison reflects on the balancing act of aspiring towards personal and spiritual growth with genuine intent while remaining grounded in humility and patience. She calls for a reevaluation of success and the importance of collective ambition over personal greed, encouraging listeners to embrace their shadow sides and find strength in quiet, internal work. Join us for a journey that seamlessly blends personal anecdotes, ancient wisdom, and modern astrological interpretations, aiming to provide a sense of reality and connectedness during uncertain times.
