Third Quarter Moon Phase: realign, revise, reorient, take responsibility
Moon: Virgo
Ruling Mahavidya: Kamala, the Lotus Goddess
Today the
Sun reaches the degree known as "an old owl up in a tree"… our
favorite!
Owls take
in the full spectrum, seeing everything - seeing what others miss.
They are
quiet while they process and digest what they see.
It is a
solitary endeavor, yet engaged in as part of a group.
This
makes it less lonely.
We are
"processing" a lot today… all that has transpired since the
"astrological new year" of the New Moon in Aries last April.
We see
things a different way.
We see
what needs to be revised and realigned.
We see
what needs to change.
Today's
massive aspect of Venus opposing the Black Moon and Jupiter adds strong elements
to this.
The Black
Moon is intense any way you cut it, but Jupiter, The Expander, is traveling
backwards to meet up with her again.
Their
close proximity makes it hard to keep things contained… and we really
aren't supposed to.
The Black
Moon rails against limitations and restrictions.
She wants
to rectify and correct matters.
The level
at which we resist anything that is trying to change is proportional to the
level of change that is needed.
If you
are denying or resisting, Venus and the Black Moon will not make life easy
for you today.
This is
particularly true for Cancers, Capricorns, and those with the Black Moon in
Cancer and Capricorn.
So what
is a wise owl to do?
We do
what we always do with Black Moon energy: first, we surrender.
We go
with the flow. We watch.
We
receive the instruction the planet is sending each of us.
We have
brave enough hearts to face whatever we see.
Second,
we understand the fact that all that transpires under this energy
will take things to a higher, happier level.
Knowing
that Black Moon energy brings a REWARD… the hero's boon… gives us the strength to continue
through.
If you
knew that whatever was distressing you now would lead to a happier life later,
what would you do?
How would
you respond today?
The Black
Moon and Venus make this promise, so take it into consideration.
Venus and
Black Moon aspects bring relationships that no longer serve the highest and
best to an end, and new relationships… ones that are more in line with who
we really are and our mission… quickly enter.
Relationships
that do serve the highest and best become stronger.
This
includes all types of relationships… personal and professional.
These
themes are carried under all of today's strong energy.
People
who are resistant to change will respond in dramatic ways.
Shadow
sides fall out everywhere and projection of whatever we cannot face in
ourselves ensues.
Again,
the wise owl watches and takes it all in.
When I
first began discussing the shamanic technique of being like a wise owl in a
tree, the picture above was my favorite way to graphically depict
it.
It's easy
to get the idea of "peering out" from within ourselves with this
photograph, so I am bringing it back in honor of the day.
Watch
from the inner perspective and stay out of the fray.
Happy
wise owl day, everyone!
