First Quarter Moon Phase: take action, break away,
step out
Moon in Virgo
Ruling Mahavidya: Bagalamukhi (The Paralyzer, The
Storm-Calmer)
Skill: look at the details but also the bigger picture of things
Negative Imprint: settling for less, taking scraps; aggression,
arguments
Positive Imprint: independence, creativity, speaking
one's mind peacefully
We see how things from our past,
present, and future are threaded together.
Details are important today, and
taking care of small details is encouraged, but seeing the big picture of all
the details is more important.
We want to make sure we are looking
at the totality of things, not just one aspect.
The Sun is now in the middle of
Gemini.
Gemini energy always involves
others in various ways… it is the sign of The Twins.
The concept of "the
other" is fused with Gemini.
It is concerned with "me vs
others" and can have difficulty standing on its own.
You could also say it is about our
inner world and what we show the outer world.
Today's energy highlights the
Gemini theme of others through strong support of activities, projects, and
ideas undertaken with others.
Further, the notion of "self
and others" comes into play today in other ways.
In keeping with this month's theme
of "aroused strikers around a factory," we are inclined to stand up
and lay out our position in support of something important.
To minimize resistance, make sure
you are coming from the highest level of intention and do not become aggressive
or pushy.
Stand in your center and radiate
your power.
Communicate your emotions, but
don't get carried away or overdramatic.
Be clear and don't waver.
And if you don't get the support or
outcome that you want, don't despair.
Enormous inner strength will
be built and clarity about what is not in line with your highest, best,
happiest life will be revealed.
Wisdom is gained.
The "intricate lacework"
today includes potential for being misunderstood or disadvantaged.
This manifests if you are focusing
too much of your energy on others at the expense of taking care of
yourself.
What need is this satisfying in
you?
Do you need to become more
independent, self-contained, or creative?
Remember that inner strength is the
aim this month.
Don't lose sight of alternatives or
other possibilities.
Finally, a word about the impending
Mercury retrograde.
Mercury will station retrograde on
Saturday, but today it has moved to the degree in the sky where it will appear
to stop and move backwards.
Simply stated, the retrograde
energy is foreshadowed today.
Here's the thing… the degree of
Mercury's retrograde is "a cat arguing with a mouse."
Take a breath and let's begin to
reframe this.
Yes, this means the Mercury
retrograde will be intense.
Things will come to somewhat of a
standstill and communications will have conflicts.
People will argue about
things.
But the fact that the cat is
arguing with the mouse, when it could easily overpower and devour it, tells us
that some sort of balance will come to situations - possibly for the first
time.
Old values, ideas, and systems are
reconsidered.
You could say the underdog… or
"undermouse" takes a stand and gains power.
What was once overpowering is now
open for discourse.
While Mercury is retrograde, the
balance of power is transformed in all things.
Let's work the Mercury retrograde
from this angle, starting today.
Since the day is like intricate
lacework, I could go on and on about the energetic signatures, but this is the
big picture.
Dive in to look at details, but
come back to see things as a whole.
Keep building your inner strength.
