Ah, the hall of mirrors. I've walked
through a few of them. They never cease to freak me the heck out.
First, because I'm ridiculously claustrophobic. Second, because they
are creepy in general. Today, we all have a chance to experience a
hall of mirrors at least metaphorically.
Recently, I was faced with a situation
where I knew the person I was speaking with was not thinking
logically and swimming in some really deep emotional waters. At the
time, I did not have any answers for this person. Not that it would
have mattered. I mean, they were mentally checked out. Nothing I
could have said would have been processed correctly. There were no
words that could alleviate the situation.
Late yesterday evening, while the Moon
was Void in Taurus, Venus met Chiron by inconjunct. I spoke about
this aspect in yesterday's write-up mentioning that it could bring to
surface those little pains that affect the way we partner.
This morning, Venus is STILL busy while
the Moon in Taurus is void. She meets Uranus in Aries via opposition
at 5:10 AM. All of this occurs during a time while the “lights on
the Moon” are off giving us a chance to be unemotional observers of
the situations at hand.
However, the Moon doesn't stay Void
forever. She enters Gemini at 11:51 AM. Her current ruler, Mercury,
is also backpedaling in Libra. That fact alone is confusing enough
for a Moon that needs information and information exchange. To top
that off, the Moon's first aspect from Gemini is a square to Neptune.
Not only does the Libra energy create an elusive hall of mirrors and
projections; but, we are walking through it with clouded and confused
emotions...impaired. Actually, impaired should be the word of the
day.
Venus is hurt (inconjunct to Chiron)
and pissed (opposition to Uranus). Our emotional bodies are dazed and
confused (Mercury Rx and square to Neptune). All together, this is
quite the cocktail for chaos.
When we are impaired (our senses are
skewed) we have a tendency to pick up on little ripples that normally
would pass us by without reaction. Given the nature of impairment in
and of itself, this is not a good thing.
Recently, I was faced with a situation
where I knew the person I was speaking with was not thinking
logically and swimming in some really deep emotional waters. At the
time, I did not have any answers for this person. Not that it would
have mattered. I mean, they were mentally checked out. Nothing I
could have said would have been processed correctly. There were no
words that could alleviate the situation.
All I could do was validate to this
person that they had been heard. Then, I asked (begged, rather) for
their trust while saying, “What you are saying has no base in
logic. I know you can't see it. And, I know it makes perfect sense to
you right now. But, please give this situation time before you do
anything crazy.”
Thank goodness I had enough back story
with this person that they knew I was trustworthy. Thank goodness
they were being open about their emotions instead of locking them
away to further erode their well being. Thank goodness they waited
and had someone they felt comfortable enough with to turn to. I
strongly feel, if all these pieces had not been in place, this
person could have truly followed through on their self-destructive
intentions. This, my friends, is just one example of why
communication and connecting with others is important.
Relationships fostered under an
umbrella of trust and mutual support can be the most valuable
commodity on Earth. At the same time, the fact that this person was
so emotionally vulnerable and could have been swayed to make some
really bad decisions had they put their trust in the wrong person was
scary.
The energy at hand today reminds me A
LOT of this situation. There is pain. There is emotionality. There is
irrationality, too much (or too little or erroneous) information and
there is a HUGE red hot poker in the sky prompting people to act
erratic and impulsively.
If you find yourself in a clouded,
emotional and painful situation please seek out those safe and
trusted shelters in order to weather this storm. If there is not an
emergency at hand, don't treat the situation as an emergency taking
the time you need to make the best decisions. Urgency may be felt.
But, that doesn't mean that urgency is required. Because, today, it
is very likely that you are not thinking logically. I know you may
not be able to see it right now. I know you may feel as if your
rationale makes perfect sense. But, please, give the situation time
to develop before you do anything crazy...not for me or anyone else.
For you.
