Astro for June 9, 2022
Today, we experience the Libra Moon in opposition to Mars in its home sign of Aries. We might feel a little short tempered today. The Libra moon could us feel really emotional in our personal relationships, while the Aries Mars could cause us to express our strong emotions via irritability or anger. It’s really important that we take the time to slow down and communicate our feelings before we jump into the deep end by acting impulsively based on our emotions. If you’re feeling neglected or forgotten about by friends, family, or a parter, tell them. Give them the chance to try to fix it if they are willing. Sometimes we assume people should know how we feel or we expect certain behaviors from people. This is the perfect day to remind ourselves to take nothing personal. Usually, people are only thinking of themselves, which isn’t a bad thing. In our personal existence we have to center ourselves, we have to be selfish to a certain extent. It’s not that people ever intentionally forget about you, they just focus more on themselves sometimes.
If you feel like everyone else forgot about you, maybe it’s time to reflect and make sure you’re not projecting your own feelings of self neglect on other people. Today’s transits are suitable for focusing on the relationship we have with ourselves, ie the most important relationship in our lives. Consider what you hope for out of a friend and/or lover and choose to show up for yourself in that way today. This could look like taking yourself on a date, buying yourself flowers, just listening to yourself talk, running yourself a bath, or anything that involves showing up for yourself. If you’re feeling a lack of patience with others today, try to practice more patience and compassion for self and watch how it stretches to your interactions with others too.
The Moon trines the Sun today, so we are feeling more of the chatty air energy of Gemini and Libra. So for those of us who have the energy we can feel quite collaborative today. We could be having some insightful conversations and learning new information about the people in our lives. We could experience an abundance of mental enrichment and be filled with ideas. You might want to get cozy with a book or fascinating articles if you don’t feel like peopling today. If you have a memoir in your current “to be read” list, today would be a great day to start it.
We have to be sure not to allow the moon’s opposition from Mars cause us to let competition, comparison, jealousy, or aggravation to get in the way of the mental connection and stimulation we can experience with others today. We must also be mindful that other people who aren’t aware of the super charged Martian energy could let it get the best of them. If someone brings trouble to your door today, don’t be afraid to tell them where they can shove it. The Libra moon makes us want to be all PC (politically correct) and choose peace. Sometimes the ways in which we go about getting peace isn’t politically correct. It’s okay if you’re fed up and you need to give somebody a piece of your mind to obtain your peace of mind. It’s nothing wrong with being unbothered but it’s also nothing wrong for advocating for yourself when you are bothered. Don’t let the Libra moon make you feel like you have to brush off disrespect, especially if your soul, spirit, mind, and/or body doesn’t actually feel settled after the attempted brush off. Now, I’m not telling you to be in these streets going back and forth with people. Speak up and then move on. Anger is not the shared experience we want today.
It’s important that I say, the libra moon opposite Mars in its home sign could cause some people’s anger to be very implosive or explosive. There’s a lot of emotional fuel being thrown on the fire. If you find yourself in a state of rage or anger, it’s okay to find a safe outlet for it. Don’t be ashamed of how you feel. As long as you are not hurting anyone else or destroying property, let your anger do what it do baby. You’ll feel so much better afterwards. Scream into a pillow. Punch a soft surface. Throw something (that either isn’t damaging or has minimal damage that can be cleaned up). Tenderize some meat. Scrub tf out of your stove. Exercise. Whatever works for youuuuuu
