This morning we wake up to a Void Moon
in Libra. She remains Void until she enters Scorpio at 3:05 PM. Some are going through the motions of meeting social obligation without truly being engaged. Meanwhile, the Sun in Aries perfects in square to Pluto in Capricorn
at 11:04 AM. This casts a dark veil over the day that gives inklings
of deep inner stirrings. As the Moon enters Scorpio, those stirrings
will permeate the emotional body prompting us to search inwardly for
clues to the “how's” and “why's” of the personal situations
we find ourselves in. Is there more of us that needs to be refined,
honed and sculpted? Chances are the answer to that is “yes” since
none of us are perfect. Know that this is a deep personal process
that may prompt some to reach out with controlling efforts toward
others. The well developed Scorpio type knows that this is not an
effective tact to take. You may be able to peer through someone's
front and pontificate the deeper reasons as to why another person may
do what they do. However, the bigger call is to shine that spotlight
inward and assess your own motivations behind the choices you make
and refine the way you interact with someone instead of expecting
them to change in an effort to accommodate you.
The sense of finality waxes in under
this sky following yesterday's eclipse. What is done is done. What
was chosen was chosen. At this point, all other options are dead.
There may be a call to mourn losses here. Don't cut yourself short of
that opportunity if you need it.
At 10:59 PM the Moon opposes Mars in
Taurus. This is not a particularly comfortable aspect, but it does
have purpose. Let me see if I can explain. Sun square Pluto, at it's
highest, works as a poultice drawing deeply embedded thorns in our
psyche to the surface to be withdrawn and purged. Scorpio Moon
operates much the same way in the emotional body. So at the very
least, toxins rise to the surface today. Some will become septic from
these poisons as they try to hold on to them. But the best bet is to
work to release these thorns and subsequently heal. The opposition to
Mars gives us opportunity to examine our motivations from the
penetrating perspective of Scorpio. Under this assessment we are
likely to find long standing habits that are ultimately not the best
things to have and that we need to work toward changing. Doing so
will be much like chipping away at a stone.
A very simple example of this is
discovering that your diet is “killing you.” So, as the Moon
opposes Mars in Taurus and you reach to satiate your emotional body
with another Little Debbie Cake. You start thinking about why you
forgo your sense of health when you are in a heightened emotional
state. Are those Little Debbies REALLY making you feel better? Or is
that habit a temporary fix..a band-aid on a bigger problem that needs
to be addressed outright. Do you habitually reach for temporary
satisfaction in an effort to avoid a larger problem? Is there a
better way for you to deal with it? Have you thought about exploring
those options and contemplated attempting to break some of these knee
jerk reactions that are based in long standing detrimental habits? Oh
yeah. I know it's easier to just fall back on the habitual and eat
the damn cake. But, if you want to truly feel better in the long
term, if you truly want to stop putting yourself in that hole, the
better idea is to examine that thorn that just emerged and decide to
change while using the promise of REALLY feeling better as your
carrot of enticement.
Discovering emotional eating habits is
a simple example. This can run as deeply as trying to discover why it
is you keep choosing the same mate over and over. It can even run as
deeply as discovering that you habitually set yourself up for failure
because somewhere deep within your psyche you are afraid of success.
No matter what emerges here is it is VERY personal and the waters run
very deep.
The point of this sky is detoxing and
purging. That is the action of a waning moon. That is the highest
exertion of power of Scorpio and Pluto. And, that is the best way to
direct this energy whether you take the energy to literal use with a
full detox and cleanse of the physical body or whether you put it to
use in the emotional body. My advice is go for it on both
ends...emotionally and physically while assessing those deeply
ingrained habits that keep getting you all gunked up to begin with.
There is nothing “pretty” about
this process. Ok? It's deep. It can be painful and it may be hard to
sit comfortably through much of it. Some of the toxins that are
pulled to the surface carry the foul stench of death and are wrapped
in sticky infection. Have you ever witnessed someone going through
drug detox? Sometimes at it's most extreme, this process can look
(and feel) like an exorcism. So give yourself some space and be
extremely gentle with yourself through this personal excoriation.
At the same time, realize that this
excoriating and poultice like drawing to the surface is blanketing
the globe right now. It will draw folks' ugly to the surface. Some
will proudly display their festering wounds in exertions of
manipulative power toward others (this is what I mean by becoming
septic). In reality, the water in their basin is draining out the
bottom and these folks are swirling in the emptiness grasping and
clawing at the sides trying to hang on. Yes. You may see some really
ugly things from others who are at a point of desperation, so, be
wary of that while disallowing yourself from falling into that
downward spiral.
Be willing to address your personal
mourning and potential “illnesses.” Withdraw a bit from outside
interactions and use this time for deep personal exploration. Give
others room to spin out and realize that is their process that you
don't have to participate in. Worry less about the demons you are
surrounded by and more about the demon who resides within you. That
one is YOUR responsibility. It also happens to be the only one you
have any control over...don't fool yourself into thinking that you
don't. This calls for bravery and an honest desire to change for the
better. There's no room for “I can't control myself” because
that's a big ass lie. There's no room for “He or she makes me do
the things I do.” There is very little room for figuring out “why
they treat you the way they do” and much more room around figuring
out why you are allowing it to continually happen. There's plenty of
room for addressing your own life with conviction under the vow of “I
am the master of my fate; the captain of my soul.” So, get ya some
of that.
