Feeling tense?
Fearful? Easily set
off? Like it’s you against the
world? Is your body acting up
suddenly? Have you been
encountering seemingly random acts of violence? Noticed an extra amount of sirens screaming through the streets
of your town?
Congratulations! You’re in
alignment!
And don’t despair - you are NOT alone.
New moons are generally very internal times, but we’re not
offered much peace this time. This
is especially uncomfortable with a Cancer new moon, when one wants to feel nice
& safe & secure, either around loved ones, or in a comfy solitude
involving a hot bath, some soft pajamas, a good book & maybe some chocolate
cake. Even if you’re able to get
away from it all, you’re likely to experience some kind of conflict &
strife in your mind, heart, spirit, &/or body.
This new moon coincides with Mars apexing his involvement
with Uranus & Pluto - turning that uncomfortable square into an even more
tense T-square configuration. To
help you navigate that, consider the following ideas, and keep in mind that
anger does not disappear. It can
surface as illness, accidents, injuries, or it can be misdirected at a
convenient target. Also, be wary
of an increase in impatience in yourself & those around you in the next
week or so.
What am I angry about?
Have I allowed myself to feel that anger, or have I suppressed it? What does this anger teach me about
what I want? Is there some more
effective way I can go about getting what I want, &/or do I need to accept
that I cannot effect certain changes?
And just to make sure that T-square isn’t lonely, the
planets have provided us with another new moon T-square. The Sun/Moon conjunction is squaring
the Saturn/Eris opposition discussed in the previous entry. This is where the fear comes in, &
it comes in big, from someplace primal & deep within.
How am I feeling alone? Am I really alone?
What would happen if I asked for support, or if I offered support? What does reciprocity mean to me? How can I connect directly with others,
in a mutual exchange? Am I really
at odds with others or other forces, or is there some way I can creatively
connect or make peace with that which seems to oppose me?
But wait - there’s more! Jupiter, Venus, planetoids Vesta & Ceres, & the
Dragon’s tail are all crowded together rather closely in a 4th house
Gemini. This suggests a need to
both tap into AND honor & feed our sources.
When you eat, consider what your food was before it became
your food - the sun, water & soil that became the plants that became your
salad. When you take a shower,
consider the actually finite source that water came from. When you walk outside, consider the
earth that holds you. When you get
a cup of coffee at a cafe, be grateful to the barista, the store owner, the
coffee roasters & growers, & the coffee plants themselves. When you read a book or a blog (hi
there!), consider the author. Feel
the awe of all that went into these various supports that enrich your
life. Give thanks, & consider
whether you are giving back in any way.
This configuration expounds upon the above message,
though. Consider that which
nourishes you - your source - but also consider that others tap into this
source as well. Others are eating
salad that was once soil, light & water. Others are taking showers & drinking from essentially
the same water source as you. All
manner of creatures walk upon this same earth, our footsteps echoing each
other. Others are drinking coffee
grown from the same plants as you.
Others are reading those same words you are reading, perhaps thinking
similar thoughts as you.
The message beneath the message is this:
We are all ultimately fed from the same sources. Therefore, we are all connected, &
therefore we are all responsible to these sources & to each other.
This is an evolved feeling of oneness that recognizes that
we are all supported by this one planet, including all the people, plants &
animals that make it what it is.
It is also a oneness that recognizes a responsibility to contribute to
this one living organism that we call planet Earth, much like the way the many
itty-bitty cells that make up your body contribute & work towards the good
of the greater being that is you.
You may feel that you are not being nourished enough.
However, if you put your attention to all of the ways you are nourished, this
changes how you feel, which in turn enhances your ability to receive
nourishment. Sound like woo-woo
garbage? Well, if you’re
malnourished, then you have nothing to lose - so try it, & see what happens.
Remember that Mercury is retrograding in Leo until around
August 8th. Check the previous
entry for more information on that.
If you find this blog supportive, you will most certainly
enjoy supporting its humble creator in either of these fine ways: Schedule an astrological consultation, either in person or
over the phone, or receive some energetic
healing. You can now check my availability here for greater ease in scheduling
appointments.
Thanks for reading.
‘Til next time, reach out to your fellow humans. Then see what just might come your way.
