The Moon went into Scorpio this morning and resumed her throne next to Saturn overlooking the raging tumult of water. "Have they made any headway?", she asked him. "They must do it," he replies. "The time is now. Those who do not jump of their own accord will be thrown in." Today and tomorrow present us with a powerful opportunity to work consciously on the challenges of emotional communication that have been.......brought to you byyyyyyyyy.....Mercury Retrograde in Cancer, the New Moon in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Cancer........is there a message here? Whatever issues have come up for you these last few weeks are certainly not going to be diminished by the added influence of Jupiter....who loves to "blow things up real good" and Mars, the gas tank of adrenaline of the zodiac. We are not exactly being asked nicely if we would like to work on our feelings. And with Scorpio, there's always a lovely bit of "do it or else" hanging in the background. If this leaves you less than clear about what to do, start at the beginning.....Mad, Sad, Glad, Scared, Ashamed. Take all the other words you use to describe how you are feeling and distill them down into one of the Big 5. Pay attention, sort things out, get to the source of your emotion. Claim responsibility for what you are feeling...your feelings are yours. Don't like what you're feeling? Investigate, understand. Change how you think. But above all.....pay attention. What's going on inside you? And what do you choose to let out?

The waxing Moon moves through Virgo today and hopefully will help us settle down a little bit and bring some order to the chaos around us. Mercury Retrograde always stirs things up. Somehow people forget that they are behind the wheel of a car, drifting off into the mass of untethered thoughts whipping around in their minds. Virgo's desire for perfection can really get a jolt during the retrograde when, believe me, things are not going to be perfect. It isn't always a major crisis, but many times the multitude of small, petty, picky little irritations, delays, and retracing steps builds up to a boiling point. Time to take a nice deep breath and remember that your Soul is creating your chaos for a reason -- Divine Perfection rules -- and your job is to try to understand WHY this moment is perfect for you. Not always easy during the back-and-forth dance that goes on. Mercury will go direct on the 21st - try to keep a cool head until then.

A quick 15-minute phone session can clarify the issues at hand for you. "Aaaaahhh", Clea sighed as she took the last step out of the mouth of the cave and into the early morning sun. She stretched her arms above her head, hands yearning for the light, skin drinking in the freshness of the wind. Wild fragrances swirled through her senses, and her stomach growled with hunger. "That was quite a trip," she thought. "Somehow I wasn't expecting another Dark Night of the Soul..." I suppose, without realizing it, I assumed one of those was enough for a lifetime, but now it's clear to me that we take many deep journeys into the cave of unconsciousness, emerging each time more awake, more self-aware, and with more wisdom. Saturn went retrograde in February.....and so did I. This trip reminded me that no matter how hard we are working on our own growth, sometimes our chi still gets stuck. We stub our toes on some old bump in the ground and fall flat....and we need a hand to help us get back up on our feet. It might be an off-handed remark or observation, a house clearing, an acupuncture treatment, an encouraging compliment or a slap in the face....but there are definitely times when we can't shake ourselves loose. My heartfelt thanks and deep gratitude to those who helped me shake loose from this last excursion into the darkness and for all those wonderful, fascinating, endlessly mind-blowing beings who people my amazing life and continue to bring me miracle after profound miracle. MUG OF THE MOON will return now....Mercury will go direct on the 21st.....let's roll! |
