Philosophical, Poetic, Transpersonal, A New Moon on the Horizon 🌑

Moon in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces

This can be a bit of a sluggish Sunday, perhaps calling us to align our responsibilities with our resources and our home. We may not want to do very much about those things, but there is a kind of gnawing that is asking us to. We might challenge this gnawing feeling with the argument that what needs to be done usually gets done in due time, but when Saturn lines up in a direct actionable aspect with Moon, our wants become secondary to our needs. Does our income support our lifestyle? Is there something we should be focusing on more so we can continue to sustain the lifestyle and property we own? Did we cross a boundary and lose something valuable to us or someone else? Some sort of reckoning regarding what we value is at stake today.

We will likely struggle a bit with existential matters today, finding them frustrating, discordant, and aggravating to communicate about. We would rather find ourselves dreaming about new adventures and maybe pondering existence in a more philosophical or poetic way. The angst that may well up from within probably has something to do with a partner or meaningful relationship we are in, and egos are possibly getting in the way more than anything else.

Our way is the way we want everything to go today, and this can create some very noticeable friction if we live with one or more other people. Rebellion comes in many forms, but independence is usually at the heart of it. Thus, it is probably best to find something to occupy our time alone for the majority of the day. If we have computer work to take care of—perhaps upgrading certain parts of our workflow or cleaning up our computer folders—today is a good day to so. 

Our organizational skills and abilities can come under scrutiny, too. Do we keep our lists, notes, and tasks up to date so we don’t forget anything that needs to be accomplished? Have we found a way to communicate the needs of our perfectionism? Maybe we notice some cracks or flaws in our process of management, or maybe we reluctantly feel like someone else has great ideas we should consider to help our process of management. Getting to the bottom of things through communicating our needs can help remedy any issues in this area of our lives.

Frustrations are probably not over today, but at least we might come to a better understanding of why we are having them. Because of this, tempering our voices and our actions is most definitely called for if we want to avoid any regrettable mishaps with others. And if we figure out a good way to stay calm and carry on, we can actually accomplish some positive work that helps move us into a territory that lightens our mood and load. Action is in the cards, but carelessness is too, so whatever we have been wanting to carry out should be carefully thought through before doing so. 

Once we establish what the work and action we need to follow through with is, we can begin to bring our love into it. Sometimes we forget how to accept what we do as our purpose at this time in our lives. If we can learn to accept that, we can begin to recognize it as purpose driven, which can eventually lead to gratitude and joy for how helpful and useful whatever that work is. If we put ourselves in a safe space and reflect upon our life of suffering, we will recognize all that suffering stems from expectations and attachments. We can turn that all around if we let go of what we want the outcome to be. This can instantly expand our consciousness and create a sense of enlightenment.

Our giddy selves might encounter a pickle of a situation today, perhaps one that ends with our foot in our mouth. Being careful and mindful of what we say to whoever we meet today is quite critical if we don’t want to end up crossing any boundaries. The relevancy of whatever transpires is probably going to be connected to a close relationship we have with someone. The upside, if we avoid any atrocious commentary, is that we might glean some realizations that help us better understand the fact that we are all human, and most of us are trying to be better people each day. We hope so, anyway!

Following a potentially eye rolling morning, a little glimmer of excitability and playfulness flows into our day. We may even end up having really healthy and funny conversations with people. We just need to remain mindful of the potential for misspoken words, misconstrued statements, and delusional approaches to information and language in general. What can end up happening is someone thinking something about us that is not true, and this can be a direct result of our own wavering awareness in the moment. Stay sharp, mindful, and compassionate today!

The amped up volatility of the past few days is slowing down to a more manageable pace with more introspection. We can see how we need to rearrange what we have learned in order to fit it properly into our own unique life. The emotional baggage attached to our opinions that have been accumulating for decades can painfully wreck our potential to thrive if we are not more aware of how to navigate that baggage with compassion towards ourselves.

There are calls being made in the silent waves around us today to consider our past and future with diligent scrutiny. Something that happens today may feel like a test to see if we are prepared for what lies ahead. And if we are sharp enough to pick up on what that is, we are much more likely going to be able to face our future with more grace and confidence than if we continue oblivious into the void ahead. So, whatever piques our interest, seems unjust, shows up unexpectedly, or drives us completely insane with excitement or frustration, we can presume that to be a job to pursue, if you will. Let’s all pay close attention to our day.

Something about how reluctant we are to commit to whatever someone has been nagging us about is probably going to play out today. There is a strong rebellious stubbornness that needs to be addressed and handled properly, but the gloves can come off if we are not privy to the most effective course of action. What are we afraid of losing if we move forward with an idea that is not ours? Our pride, of course. Some dignity never hurts when we are faced with having to humble ourselves in front of others. But are we willing to do anything at all about the pink elephant in the room?

This dilemma can show up as a stark reminder of past wounds and trauma. Because our psyches are so complex and private, we may not notice that any change we feel the need to initiate on one level is actually incapable of occurring due to an attachment we may have to our feelings about that pain and trauma. How do we release our emotional adhesion to the conditioning that set in so long ago it has become a strangely comfortable habit? Breaking free from daily routines can help ignite a little inspiration and gumption to swallow our pride and conditioning in hopes of finding new tracks to roll down.

Today we are checking in with our emotional resonance to the transpersonal experiences we have had in life. Do we understand how to process our experiences in a way that helps us live a better and more conscious life? It can seem as though invisible strings unfold much of what goes on all around us, but what is our role in it all? The winds are beginning to pick up and fill our sails, but are we prepared to navigate the seas? 

As tomorrow’s New Moon in Leo approaches, this question should be at the top of our to-answer list. What do we do when the wind fills our sails but we are not prepared to journey where it is blowing us? Sometimes the answer is just staring us in the face but we are too worried, confused, hung up, or ignorant to notice it. The channels are wide open and exposing our inner child to the terms of a more mystical and elevated life, but not a life of highbrow arrogance or spiritual bypassing and deception. In essence, what we must face, and/or sacrifice, in order to evolve into a more beautiful self requires we pause as often as we can, as quietly as we can, and as long as we can to listen with our hearts to what our soul is trying to tell us at any given time.
