The past week has been tense to say the least. If astrology tells us what time it is then the new moon last Monday pointed the clock toward themes of shadow, messy truths, and a profound state of death and rebirth.
Why? What was it about this new moon that set in motion events that challenged us on a soul level? It’s because the new moon was right opposite Pluto, lord of the underworld, a planet whose symbolic function is to challenge us to evolve. What is seen cannot be unseen. The planet holds a mirror to us and it is uncomfortable. It is time to change.
We’re still only a quarter of the way through the lunar month. The water we’re drinking from, nourishing ourselves with, is still dark and bitter. But it’s alchemical. It’s activating something within us. We’re feeling the urge to make changes — changes that may take until the full moon on July 19 to manifest.
In the meantime, we may feel an urge to separate from something this week. It may be a break from the past or a need to radically rethink something in our lives. We’re in the middle of tense astrology. Make sure you take care of yourselves and put this energy to conscious, positive use.
