New Moon follow up - Acceleration

 

                                                 "Anger lets us know that something is wrong!"

 

I wanted to follow up on the New Moon post. There is a volatility in the air today ~  some of us will be  more easily triggered as warrior planet Mars  aligns exactly with the Sun and Mercury in Libra. You may feel a stirring up, aggravating and heightening of your reactions, and on top of it all,  Moon in Scorpio is activating Uranus the Awakener.   Sun in Libra (harmony,  balance and  how we relate to others)  finds itself in a tricky balancing act as it tries to manage everyone's needs; use this energy consciously or it will use you. Sudden outbursts can be healing if they clear the air.

 

Mars = Aggression Action Anger

Mercury = Communication

Sun = Vitality

Uranus = Lightning bolt, Sudden events, Awakenings 

 

The powerful New Moon energy that occurred a few days ago  propelled us into the last quarter of the year ~ things will continue to accelerate as the outer planets gradually turn direct. This comes after a prolonged period of multiple retrogrades; retrograde planets turn our energy inward and push us to process the inner dynamics of each planetary archetype. For example, right now Mercury (communication) is moving backward through Libra  and wants us to reflect on our relationships and how we connect with others, with a particular lesson around how we express anger. Things that we have suppressed or buried may come bursting to the surface now  at the slightest provocation. Libra skills of diplomacy and tact may go flying out the window at this time,  yet hopefully,  rather than inflict damage,  this can  give us a chance for some real honesty and even a fresh start once the air has cleared.

 

Big impact is from the ongoing battle between Control and Freedom  that will continue into 2022 as Saturn (rules and restrictions) and Uranus (rebellion) continue to clash.  We can expect major upheaval on multiple fronts as current tensions zig-zag back and forth, with the next zag peaking in December. We will be challenged to stand our ground (look to see where Saturn is in your chart right now).  Healthy boundaries are key. Yet we must also stay open to change - because change we must!

 

This all continues under a Neptunian fog of chaos and confusion, cheat and deceit; with Pluto in Capricorn  shaking up systems and disrupting the status quo.  All of it together is aimed at bringing about profound societal change.  And of course,  society is made up of many individuals; the energy we personally create ripples out into the greater collective. If you are concerned about the amount of  interpersonal antagonisms and polarizing narratives permeating society at this time, the answer begins with you!  With me. With us. As I said last post: Be a warrior for peace!

Pluto Retrograde: Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster

The image contains a sudden surge of energy (Uranus and Pluto) and the ensuing insights that can lead to  breakthroughs and revelations. It enters via the top of the building (ego self, society) and knocks it sideways, symbolizing energy flowing down from the Universe through the crown chakra  to wake us up.  Crisis opens us to universal life forces beyond our small ego-self and push us to expand out of our safe habitual patterns. Be the change you want to see in the world.

We are at a critical juncture as a species for our survival, individually and as a collective choice.  Which level of consciousness are we going to invest in for our long term future?     Randa Akeia

 

 

Chaos means a state of disequilibrium -  as something moves into a new order - but we cant quite perceive the underlying direction of the change because we are in the midst of it. Yet Chaos doesn’t have to be awful; there's a kind of balance in the interplay of Saturn and Uranus. Saturn counteracts some of Uranus’ tendencies to be too quick and extreme, and Uranus keeps Saturn from being too staid and stodgy. They help each other out. A win ~ win!

 

 

We are on the cusp of a new era.

We are in it for the long haul!
