 I know this pain
Why do you lock yourself up in these chains? No one can change your life except for you Don't ever let anyone step all over you Just open your heart and your mind Is it really fair to feel, this way inside? ~ Wilson Phillips In some ways the warm up to this full moon feels like a slog down to a new moon. We have had Mercury (communications) and Venus (relationships) close to the sun all month. The Sun literally brings burnout to any planets close to it. Relationships in particular have been going through transformation - either they're not working, non-existent, delayed, on the backburner or you're seeing all your relationship junk all at once. Hold on my friend *Cue Kristen Wiig on the air drums*. Mercury comes out of combustion at the end of this month and then Venus early July and things will start to feel easier, renewed and enhanced. Take this as an upgrade time of how you operate/communicate in relationships and this will have been worth it. My advice to you is: Don't make the same choices from your relating (romantic or business) past moving forward. The other thing that has been happening in the sky is Saturn (groan) has been slowing down to turn retrograde (30th). Normally a retrograde often wafts a smell of difficulty encroaching but in the case of our lord of karmic distribution it celebrates in some time off. In fact it's like being on holiday vibes from 'doing the work'. But until he turns retrograde he is slowing down and making things a little tense. Sort of like the lead up to a holiday - you've got to get all your affairs in order before you get on the plane - ie have all your work done and handed over, pack your bags, get your visas, organise hotels etc = stress. Did you know there is a black hole 4 million times bigger than our sun residing in the centre of our galaxy? And this upcoming full moon on Friday night the moon enters the lunar mansion/nakshatra of this galactic centre. You would think the centre of the milky way would be made of diamonds or rainbows but fascinatingly/eerily it is where matter goes to die. The full moon in Mula is quite profoundly simple: Get to the root of your problems this lunar cycle and then destroy it. Like passing through a blackhole they will cease to exist and so will the old version of you that continued it. Stay light, Mark :)

 If I were the moon I could catch your eye
I'm jealous of the moon If I were the wind I would make you fly I'm jealous of that too I wish I were the sun shining on your face Caressing like a lover I would wrap you in a warm embrace We'd be holdin' one another ~ @shaniatwain And so it goes with so many humans fables of our ancestors we have what appears to be a misogynistic tale about the moon having 27 wives and every month he visits one each day. On his monthly rounds husband moon gets stuck on his 4th wife, Rohini. Now before we get lost in the outdated story and try to unpack the issues here from a modern context, we take the essence of the story. The Moon (our mind) favours this area of the sky. There is something very special about Rohini. Taurus is where the moon feels at home and the lunar mansion of Rohini is where we feel creative, it's where we grow and it's where the mind bathes in fertility on all levels. Now as so it also goes where there is abundance there is jealousy. As one grows in light and attention another (remember those other 26 wives waiting for there husband to return) grows tired of waiting, notices the lack of attention or resents feeling un-special. This moon can swing between these two qualities - you can play either side of this coin/wife - or mind. Feeling chosen or feeling forgotten. And this new moon Thursday eve (AEST) has an almost exact conjunction with Venus. So this is Rohini moon is for all the lovers out there. Although our planet of love, relationships and the material world in general is burnt by the solar rays she is in a transformation stage. Burning the lack of love within us to create a restoration of 'love wealth' in its place. Uranus, Jupiter and Mercury also reside in Taurus this dark moon aiding their gifts. Uranus brings a fresh electric innovation here, Jupiter brings wisdom and guidance, Mercury also aids a swift change of thinking with its charming grace. With the aid of these three we can expand exponentially quickly. Now growth doesn't come with a little bit of discomfort so this may bring up old and potentially painful or lonely feelings, held-onto-what-could-have-been-why-didn't-they-love-me emotions from what feels from 'days of yore' and current situations of envy YET the sign of Taurus is searching for security and worth. So back to those other 26 wives - whether husband moon favours you or not this new moon we ALL have our unique and unequivocal value whether the light is on you or not. If you feels the pangs of jealousy over the next few days realise this is a knock at the door to turn around and choose yourself. Stay light, Mark :) #astrology #vedicastrology #jyotish #newmoon #rohini #taurus #astrologersofinstagram |
