Weird twists of fate. That's what I'm
seeing lately. Sounds appropriate with Uranus and Pluto both applying
to the nodal axis. Speaking of Uranus and Pluto, this morning we wake
up to the Moon in Cancer bouncing off each of them. She meets Uranus
by square at 3:52 AM and Pluto by opposition at 5:42 AM. Those
aspects have some crunchy edges. Most of the rest of the day, though,
is rather smooth.
At 7:36 AM the Moon meets Chiron by
trine. Then, at 8:37 AM she is in trine with Mars. By, 12:36 PM,
Venus is conjunct Neptune.
So the morning has a chance of being a
little unsettled. But, by late morning our motivation and emotions
are flowing together as our hearts melt a little.
You know what else I'm noticing (aside
from weird twists of fate)? I see situations being set up that give
us opportunity and tempt us to resort to childish behavior. Stomping
of feet. Rolling of eyes. Temper tantrums. I'm not just talking about
events that allow the inner child to come out to play. I'm talking
about events that throw our inner child into a hissy fit. I'm
attributing this to our waxing Moon who will eventually perfect to
fullness in Leo. I got to be honest with you, I'm pretty tempted just
to let my inner child throw her hissy fit at this point even if I
know that may not be the smartest thing for my adult self to do in
the long run. I've been coaching myself through it trying to aim,
instead, for the more mature reactions. Lying on the floor kicking
and screaming that “it's NOT FAIR!” is increasing in
attractiveness though. Anybody else out there coming across things
like this?
Last week some weird twists of fate
unfurled in the lives of many people I interact with on a daily
basis. As those twists unfurled, the person witnessing and being
affected had an opportunity (and in most cases justified reason) to
blow their top. A few did. Others struggled with re-directing their
actions toward something more beneficial and worked to change their
perspective about the situation.
Some of these twists of fate have put
the “bad guy” in the position of victory. Or, at least, it seems
so temporarily. You know what I mean? Do you have an enemy? I'm not
talking about the glorious underdogs of the Universe scoring here.
I'm talking about people with less than savory intentions getting
seemingly rewarded for their bad behavior. While those that work hard
to tow the line and “do the right thing” are sitting back
saying...”Wait a minute. How's this work again?”
On a personal level, I've been mostly
able to sit back and just shake my head about it all. But, there have
been a few instances where I've had to pull myself back and remember,
“Ok. This is not my circus. Those are not my monkeys.” In other
words, it isn't my business, really, what happens to someone else.
What I perceive as fair or unfair in this Universe matters very
little in the grand scheme of things. I don't know the true
circumstances or ethereal reasoning (if any) behind what is going on.
So, I just need to keep plugging in light of the temptation to just
gather up my toys and go home because “I'm not playing with you
jerks anymore.” I've had to remind myself, “Hey, Josi. Do you
have any problem sleeping in the bed you've made?”...”No.”...”Then
let's keep our nose in our own business and not change that, ok?” I
whimpered, “But it isn't fair!” a few times, though.
I talk about self-nurturing a lot. This
is more of a call toward effective self-parenting. It reminds me of
when my boys were little. They are only 2 years apart in age. It
never failed, when one got in trouble he always pointed a finger at
the other child saying, “but HE does this...this and this!” I
would consistently tell them, “this instance right here has nothing
to do with your brother. We are talking about you. What he does or
does not do is irrelevant to what you chose to do.” Um, yeah. It's
a lot like that.
My heart says to me that much of what
is happening is equivalent to the exaltation before the fall. In
other words, this story ain't done yet. These weird twists of fate
may look like blessings. But, in the long run, I'm not thinking they
are going to turn out so great. But, then again, I have a tendency
toward a vengeful heart...so, who knows. It's still a little
assholish of me to wish for some of this stuff to blow up in someone
else's face. As I look up from my fantasies about this stuff blowing
up, I see that my self-parent is standing over me again shaking her
head. “It's not your business, Josi. Quit wishing bad stuff on
others and mind your own beeswax.”
If you happen to find yourself wrapped
up in a similar situation do not let someone else's fortune cause you
to act in a way that could potentially debase your own future. Even
if it's not fair. Even if you want to take your toys and just go
home. Even if you are over there working your rear off while Spoiled
Susie gets everything she wants handed to her on a silver platter
with seemingly little to no positive effort on her part. Reel it in.
Mind your business. Grow it up. Or, at the very least, wait to throw
your hissy fit while no one is looking. The right thing is STILL the
right thing regardless of reward and/or consequence.
After the Moon meets Mars by trine this
morning, she if Void until entering Leo at around Noon tomorrow. Use
the Void Moon period to allow your inner child to take a nap and eat
some cookies. Gift yourself your own reward without expecting it to
be doled out through circumstance. Take a time out...put your big kid
panties on and get ready to deal. Oh, and make sure you have some
popcorn, because the whole adults reacting like spoiled children
throwing fits thing? It's going to become more prominent as we get
closer to the Full Moon on the 3rd. In that, there may be
some opportunity to just “sit back and enjoy the show.” I don't
know about you, but, I'd rather be an audience member than a
performer in that display.
