6 – OBARÁ
The Dance of Determination and Balance in the Domains of Oxóssi and Xangô
Under the vigilant guidance of Oxóssi and the magnetic authority of Xangô, Odu OBARÁ emerges as a relentless force and a search for balance. Those who carry the influence of this Odu have the unbreakable determination to fight for their desires and goals. The combination of the energy of Oxóssi, the shrewd hunter, and Xangô, the lord of justice and thunder, promises a path full of material opportunities and the search for a subtle loving understanding.
Determination is one of OBARÁ's most prominent qualities. The influence of Oxóssi infuses those under this Odu with the ability to focus their efforts and fight with fierce passion for what they desire. Just as the hunter tracks his prey, they pursue their goals tooth and nail, not easily deterred by obstacles that come their way. Determination is your compass, guiding you through the dense forests of life towards your desired success.
The promise of material success is a long shadow that accompanies those under the influence of OBARÁ. The guidance of Xangô, the supreme judge, amplifies the search for tangible achievements and material rewards. They have the ability to make fair and strategic decisions, taking advantage of the right opportunities at the right time. Xangô's energy instills in them a sense of confidence and authority that sets them on the path to prosperity.
However, while OBARÁ is a force to be reckoned with in the material world, it also carries with it a delicate lesson in the realm of love. The search for balance is a fundamental theme. The energy of Oxóssi and Xangô can manifest itself as a tendency to be assertive and demanding, especially in relationships. OBARÁ reminds us that, although determination is an admirable quality, it is essential to approach love with understanding and acceptance, avoiding excessive demands that can stifle emotional connection.
In short, OBARÁ is an Odu that takes us on a journey of determination and balance. The duality between Oxóssi and Xangô creates an intriguing dance of action and reflection. The relentless search for material success is tempered with the need to understand and accept love. Those under the influence of OBARÁ are invited to combine their passion for achieving goals with a compassionate and balanced approach to their relationships. OBARÁ's journey is a search for material and emotional success, a dance between perseverance and sensitivity.
