Crescent Moon Phase: expansion, growth, gathering, challenges
Moon: Pisces/Aries
Ruling Mahavidya: Kali
After a
weekend of pausing to listen to the magi Jupiter, we gather up our rowdy
companions Pluto, Uranus, Mars, and Mercury, saying goodbye and continuing
on our journey through this lunar month.
But we
aren't alone for long.
Up ahead,
Mercury spots them first: two women.
The rowdy
band of brothers is excited.
It's
Venus! Now they are really excited.
Oh, and
it's the Black Moon.
Their
moods quickly deflate, all except Pluto, who looks right past
Venus casting a furtive eye on the Black Moon.
When the
Two Sisters are together, Pluto reminds us, they bring great
rewards.
Good
fortune is in store.
Surprisingly,
Venus tells us she is on her way to a convent for a respite.
She's
trying to sort some things out and needs time for contemplation.
Mercury,
Mars, and Uranus roll their eyes.
But the
Black Moon, having evaluated our little party of travelers, offers passage
through her domain, which, we quickly realize, is a beautiful underworld
of sorts.
She tells
us to continue on, because there is a war party on our heels.
Kali, our
leader, steps up and tells us she's been aware of the threat since the journey
began and is following it every step of the way.
She tells
us not to worry.
Instead
of worrying we should infuse our minds with the feelings of peace and
gratitude for the beauty and the blessings that are present in our lives.
She tells
us these things appear very differently when we travel through the land of the
Black Moon.
We take a
different perspective, bringing some things down to black and white and amping
some things up to Technicolor.
This
weekend's "children's story" takes on decidedly mature themes
today with a very unique astrological set up of Venus retrograde
opposing the Black Moon and Mercury opposing from the other side.
This brings
changes to relationships and the tendency to say things before we
think.
Venus and
the Black Moon always bring a positive outcome, even when the circumstances at
the time may seem grim.
Relationships
that do not serve our highest or grandest purposes move off, quickly replaced
by new ones.
Relationships
that do serve our highest and grandest purpose take on more depth.
This
includes all types of relationships… not just romantic relationships… professional,
familial, interpersonal, etc.
Pluto and
the Black Moon are not concerned with superficial relationships.
They are
interested in meaningful, deep commitment and true love.
This
energy is about appreciation.
It's
about recognizing your blessings.
It asks
us to evaluate ourselves honestly and own who we are.
We have
no idea how grand and powerful we really are.
It is almost
impossible for us to conceive it because the framework for recognizing it has
been eliminated over time… beginning with the decimation of the mystery schools
in ancient times.
When you
deal with the energy of the Black Moon, there are always two sides to things.
Something
may come back around later.
This is
especially true since we have Venus retrograde.
When
Venus starts to move forward again next month it will re-contact this point and
bring the second side to what is developing today.
This is how
energy imprints and re-imprints. It happens in cycles.
There are
strong masculine and feminine energies
in the air today, adding fuel to whatever is being intended.
Intend
wisely.
Stay
grounded, be reminded of the good fortune at the heart of this energy, find
inner peace, and above all, fall back in love with life today.
Look
around. There are so many beautiful things to see.
Note: The
"war party" in the story is the upcoming potential for the
continuation of aggression that was seeded at the New Moon.
The
potential for this becomes stronger with the Sun's approach to
opposition with the Black Moon between January 10-15.
We are
eliminating the extent to which that kind of aggression could manifest by imprinting peace and harmony into the energy with the contact to the
Black Moon now.
So what
we put in now will be enhanced later, thus minimizing the effectiveness of
potential aggression.
You can
see how over time, as more and more people become aware of how this works, we
overtake the Archontic imprints and change the experience of life.
