Separation Is a Mirage Appearing On the Edge of Truth
Deconstructing "Home", Embodying Ketu Moon, and 15-mins Channeled Reiki & Poem Meditation Audio
2024. 8. 9 - 222nd day -「分離只是出現在真理邊緣的虛幻。」
Being home in HK hasn’t been easy. The sense of separation between myself and others, as well as among everyone, feels incomprehensible. As my astrological birth chart suggests, my Ketu Moon placement in the 2nd house is a big factor. I am meant to propel and move away from HOME. My Astrocartography chart suggests, I have absolutely NO planetary lines or even crossing points (no planetary support) in Hong Kong - a place I chose to be born in, where all my early memories reside. This is the divine play of the Universe. We must learn through irony, and inner conflict.
It took me 15 years of being away to realize:
Separation is a mere mirage appearing on the edge of Truth.
Within separation — an illusion inherent in the human experience — all emotions exist: pain, love, hate, jealousy, shadow, and light. Separation is no different from unity; it is simply a gap we must leap over before merging with Truth once more.
They say that Ketu Moon, besides being the most psychic placement, also indicates separation from Mother, or any mother figures, as the moon represents mother and home, comfort and nourishment. Ketu is a magnetic void, removes anything near it, hence, it rules Moksha, and as the ultimate karmic releaser. Truthfully, I’ve never felt a sense of belonging in Hong Kong, nor could I ever fit into anywhere here. So the description of this placement is very accurate and felt deeply.
I often think that -
Souls who choose HK as their birth home are all calling for a profound churning lesson for Inner Freedom
To be born in a place that is highly fast-paced, dense, materialistic, with deep rooted societal thinking and expectations is intense, no matter rich or poor. I remember my high school teacher challenging me when he asked everyone about their goals after graduation. I said, “a photographer”. He smirked and looked at me, “Ha, photographer? What are you gonna do, be in a photo studio to take photos of family portraits all day?” I mean I wasn’t a good student by choice, I hated it, the stupid rules, the stupid punishment, the never-ending judgements. The reality of HK is deep conditioning, and stripping away your inner child and opportunity to explore joy. But, the Ketu Moon made me question everything.
From numerology to Vedic astrology birth chart, to Chinese BaZi, to astrocartography, all divinations tell me that I have no home base.
My Home is Me, and the whole Universe.
Closing out the NYC chapter doesn’t make it an ending or a conclusion, but rather - a total dream of a new spring. When 15 years of life is digested, installed and integrated into my being, I am once again ready for the next spring. The sacred space of my heart is slowly watching my flower blossom.
I am still learning and contemplating about the Ketu Moon placement because of how significant it is. I knew about my psychic ability since birth, having seen and heard many things from the astral realm. A strong Ketu Moon also means that grasping this psychic, astral and slippery element makes it really hard to understand life on the material plane. My mind and emotions (Moon) were so slippery, troubled and chaotically isolated. Plus the placement being in the 2nd House of family, it just means a tumultuous childhood. Since I practiced spirituality with proper guidance and modalities, my psychic ability is forming, and getting stronger and stronger by day. Leaning into this psychic ability is helping me to navigate the feeling of isolation.
Understanding this huge factor in my natal design, and recognizing that I am a “four sea as home” spirit, I am now in a phase of embodiment. Being nomadic is not new to me, but it’s new in a sense that I have full power over every choice and every micro moment now. And I can be in stillness, witnessing the waves of the ocean of life transforming, and dancing around me.
One foot in the reality plane
One foot in the astral plane
If everywhere is home, and I am of the world
Then “leaving home” was an act of fulfilment of my true nature
And to transmute the 留戀 nostalgia into a complete embodiment of FREE SPIRIT, LOVE, and CREATION
I voice recorded a poem I wrote after the trip to Shimoda, Japan, where I was so touched and inspired by the spirit of Soft Wind by the beautiful lava coast. The full 15 mins audio was channeled today with Reiki and breathing exercise, I invite you to listen and share the moment on this special beautiful day with me and the whole Universe <3
