slowly

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,
