The Yod, Your Special
Life Purpose
* Mercury went Retrograde on April 18, 2010. It goes Direct on May 11, 2010. If you are unfamiliar with the Mercury Retrograde cycle, these two two articles, Beggs n' Econ and Bumbled Articulation, will explain what Mercury Retrograde creates in a person's life and what needs to be learned.
Do you have an inner drive that pushes you to accomplish something special or a feeling that you are here for some special reason? Then you probably have the yod aspect in your natal chart and you may have more than one yod aspect in your chart.
The yod aspect is also known as, "the Finger of God," "the Finger of Fate" or a "Destiny Mission." I prefer to call it, "a Special Life Purpose."
And, "as time goes by and our own personal awareness grows, we will feel a driving inner force, even an urgency to get about our special business. This special business is the yod aspect: an astrological aspect, which creates specific energy. The yod aspect is created by two planets in sextile which both inconjunct at the same point. The point, the apex or the tip of the yod is the purpose." Please see the Books page.
"Imagine a life void of fulfilling personal accomplishments, empty of rewarding personal success. Imagine, if you will, a long, long life absent the achievement of your heart's greatest desires.
God does not light the fire of desire or give a dream that cannot be realized. And while your heart's desires, your special life purpose, may not be fascinating or life saving or important to others, it is your special life purpose." Excerpt from, "Thoughts on Life Purposes," of the Warm Fuzzies series, by Miss Dee.
