jealous

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  Now before we get lost in the outdated story and try to unpack the issues here from a modern context, we take the essence of the story.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 :)
