We’re caught in a storm today. Between the Cancer Moon, Pluto, and an upcoming Neptune station, emotions are running high. We may feel touchy, moody, or on psychic overload. Cancer says, find something solid to hold onto.
This is a good day to lay low, spend time with loved ones, and nestle up at home. But the Moon’s opposition to Pluto means that we’re having to look at some deep feels and examine our fears around intimacy and emotional security. Purge, release, transmute. Breathe in, breathe out.
I’ve been thinking a lot about Neptune, too. To continue the conversation from yesterday, which touched on the planet’s upcoming station this Saturday, I wanted to further the thread of the universal. As an outer planet, Neptune’s role is to act as an agent of transformation. But what differentiates it from Uranus and Pluto is that it acts to dissolve the boundary between the physical and non-physical. It also reconnects us to the spiritual reality that we are all connected, that we are both individuals and in all things. Neptune says, nothing is separate.
A phrase that I keep hearing from Spirit is the “disease of non-recognition,” that we, as a collective, are currently suffering. To be in non-recognition is an illusion, they say. That we deny ourselves the consciousness that we are in all things, even that which we would deny or sever ourselves from. To answer the call of Neptune is to accept into our consciousness that we are one. They say, look into the eyes of your enemy and see yourself when we are in recognition of the Universal, the light of consciousness can come in. New ideas can be born. Right now our sight is blocked, our consciousness is blocked. The light cannot flow.
Personally, over the last week, my third eye, my sixth chakra has felt very contracted. My root chakra keeps cutting out. I’ve had to work hard to push my centers open since I feel in my body what everyone else is feeling, which is awesome when you live in a city of 8 million. Let us use the Cancer Moon today to take care of our needs and get back to our emotional center. Check in with your body, your energy. How can you clean it? Take a salt bath? Time for some psychic TLC.
