The Last Quarter Moon
is exact on 9th June at 3:40pm/15:40 UT/GMT. Mercury swings back
around this week. This should alleviate any communication/miscommunication issues including wifi problems which I've experienced the last few weeks. Mercury stations on 10th June and goes direct on the 12th
at 10:33pm/22:33 UT/GMT. Mars is in play too. Mars is transiting Gemini, like Mercury, and is conjunct the Gemini Sun and squaring the Pisces Moon at this Last Quarter Moon.
It has been another
fascinating week, albeit a challenging one personally. There are a number of
themes that have been brought to my attention and I really don’t know what to
focus on so I’m going to start with Mars in Gemini.
I read somewhere
recently that Mars in Gemini is stubborn. I certainly feel like digging my
heels in on a few things today. I mean digging them in so that nothing and
nobody can move me anywhere I don’t choose to go. And yet it feels as though
some force has been doing everything in its power to try and bend me, shape me,
and mold me against my will. I keep thinking I’ve broken free and then it seems
to find a new way to hunt me down, limit me and de-energize me. This is what I
have to say on the matter: Don’t mess with my mojo!!!
Originally the word mojo means a charm or a spell but now it is more
commonly said to mean sex appeal or talent. The definition of mojo in the
Cambridge English Dictionary is “a quality that attracts people to you and
makes you successful and full of energy.”
Pisces is the zodiac’s chameleon, Gemini is the “jack of all trades,” and
Mars rules sex appeal and energy and therefore our mojo. We can be whatever we
want and try a few things on for size right now I reckon, especially in these
last couple days with mercury retrograde! Why limit ourselves to what we have
become? Gemini has a Peter Pan quality and with the Sun, Mercury and Mars
transiting through Gemini, why not allow ourselves the fun and freedom we had
in younger years, exploring new ways of being and setting new possibilities fearlessly
ablaze?
If you are going through the same thing as me, dormant parts of self are
rising from deep within and unexpectedly springing to life. The restrictive controlling
forces that I have experienced and observed this week have aroused my inner
rebel, and as I said above, I’m digging in my heels. I’ll shift and change, but
I’ll do it on my terms. I’ll do it my way!!
It’s been a bit of an exhausting week really. I’ve felt scattered and like
I was in the next room or the next universe in more than a few moments, but now
I’m focused on calling back the scattered parts of myself. I’m calling my mojo back
home and I have no intention of letting it dissipate again. I feel this will
continue as a process as the Sun, Mercury and Mars move through the rest of Gemini,
into Cancer, and beyond!
I don’t want to get
into the whole duality light versus dark thing but I do feel it is
important to work towards taking conscious and full possession of our energy
and thoughts while aligning ourselves with what brings us peace and keeps us
present and mindful; Now more than ever. I love expanding and exploring and
feeling like I’m going where Angels fear to tread, but I feel time and energy
is best spent, for the next little while at least, becoming as solid, present
and peaceful as possible. We need to fill the spaces in-between the space we inhabit,
if that makes any sense. Yes do it with fun and believe in the limitlessness of
our beings but don’t sparkle with the stars unless we also have our feet firmly
on the ground, unless we are firmly in our bodies. Spaces will be filled. We
want to choose the space-fillers with as much awareness as possible.
The burden of our
responsibilities may be felt greatly at this time. Perhaps we no longer need to
be burdened by some of our perceived responsibilities. Really, we are only
responsible for ourselves and our children, while they are children. Some of us
are overly responsible and therefore overly burdened. I dreamt I was carrying
around two large heavy wooden wardrobes the other night. Everywhere I went the
wardrobes came too. It was exhausting, carrying them, finding a place to put
them... I quickly realized one of the wardrobes does not belong to me and I
began working towards off-loading it while processing the contents of the other.
Turns out that the other wardrobe isn’t all mine either. My digestion was poor
for a few days but has continued to improve since as I digest, process, and let
go… Carting around these wardrobes has definitely been a major mojo-drainer and
the discovery of this has been both interesting and unexpected! May the
unburdening continue!!!
Next week is the
Gemini New Moon. We may observe the deconstruction of old parts of ourselves and
our dreams leading up to the New Moon. We may also gain insight and feel
inspired by what is being deconstructed and/or what is being, or can be,
created and constructed. Some of us may wish to be quiet, secluded and still
during the balsamic or dark Moon phase that is the few days before the New Moon.
This is a powerful time that renews and rejuvenates us for the next Lunar
Phase.
These are amazing
times. They may feel like heavy, dark and challenging times, but they are also
full of beautiful possibilities and unfolding wonders; For eyes that can see;
For ears that can hear... We may need to remind ourselves of the beauty and
possibility constantly. We may frequently doubt it because it is not our
current experience, but we must not give up. We need to find practices that
bring us back to peace and thinking of beautiful possibilities. Mindfulness,
meditation, gratitude practices, dancing, spending time with kids and spending
time in nature are some tried and tested ways for many many of people. These
things may not appeal to you. That’s fine. Find what does bring peace and
grounding and do it often. We need all the gratitude, peace and presence of mind,
body and spirit we can create.
Let there be peace,
grounding and gratitude. Over and out, for now! LOVE!!!
