Dust yourself Off and try again

So you've fallen down. Things didn't turn out the way you wanted them to. Currently you're thinking 'is it even worth trying again?'. My answer: Yes.

"If it at first you don't succeed then dust yourself off and try again." Aaliyah/some wise prophet 

The new moon beginning to crescent late Saturday morning AEST is ​in the star of renewal Punarvasu. Punarvasu has a lot to say about giving something a second (third or fourth etc) try after failure and it working out. Some things in life are not instantaneous and often it is a game of timing, luck, fate, karma, skillset and heck even attitude. Is there something in your life that you poured your heart into previously that needs a revisit at this time? Now let's put current affairs of the world on the bookshelf just for today and dream again without constriction.

Mars and Venus are together in Ashlesha this new moon adding some passion and spice yet they are directly opposite in the sky to Saturn. So there is a feeling of frustration, suffering, resentment underneath all of these amorous vibes (especially as Mars is not strong at present). Ashlesha is often where we have some poison or toxicity in the heart - known as the clinging star - is there something or someone in your past you're still hung up on that isn't beneficial for present/future projection? This is definitely something for you to look at or suffer through if avoided at this time. Be careful with reactive/hurtful words of your own over the next few days especially with those you love.

Now Punarvasu is a moon of gains. Yet even more so it is about receiving. One of its symbols is the quiver of arrows. A quiver is the home or case that holds the arrows. Arrows are your objective but the quiver holds the objective. I love this symbolism as it reflects to me that it's more about you being able to hold, believe and receive your objective (quiver) than fighting/aiming for it (arrows). If you can't hold or home what you desire then it can only fall away or pass through sometimes without you even knowing. With Jupiter in Shatibhisha, the planet governing Punarvasu, throwing a supportive aspect to this new moon in retrograde says to me this: There is something in/from the past to be healed. And if this an emotional journey (rather than a physical illness) to the past then it is something to be forgiven. There is much support in healing at this time. There is much support in receiving your hearts desire. You just have to let it in.

Stay light,
Mark :)
