containment

Wow! What a kinetic new moon we have tonight. Often new moons are associated with internalisation and slow introversion. Not this new moon! Not only are all the planets trapped inside the clutches of the serpent of karma (the karmic lunar nodes), but then we have Mercury with Neptune and Mars with Saturn all in Pisces. Things are SENSITIVE.

Though if we can detach from that sensitivity, volatility and intensity we can find many solutions over the next lunar cycle. It's this strange combination having so much collision in Pisces, a sign of endings, illusions and liberation and then a new moon with the Sun in fiery Aries. What do you get when water and fire collide? Steam. And like a boiling pot we need to make sure we don't boil over and spoil things out of our own saucepan. Containment is strongly encouraged and in that containment there is much to swiftly course correct many an ailment perplexing you of late. The good news is healing is quickly on the way - whether that is physical or mental. The bad news is there is frustration and confusion.

My astrological counsel is guidance from karmic axis this Ashwin New Moon: let go of your need to be right, to be seen or special. See the bigger picture with objective awareness and through that objectivity a great healing can occur. There are alternative ways to operate, innovative perspectives to find ahead but if you cling to who you've been and what you've had you'll only be pedestalling the past and not breathing your way into the genius of the future. Don't hold onto your pain out of pride, let yourself embrace different ways to get to the same outcome. Try it a different way and see how quickly and more interestingly you arrive at your target.

Stay light,
Mark :)
