Astro for June 12, 2022
We are creeping up on this full moon, or should I say it’s creeping up on us. Before we make it there, we still got the Moon in scorpio all day. The Scorpio Moon forms a square to Saturn in Aquarius. The Scorpio Moon has probably already exposed the intensity of some of our emotional woes. We’ve had to sit with and move through some uncomfortable feelings. Now that the Moon is square to Saturn we have to be accountable for what we may have said and done based off of these feelings. It is possible that something could have triggered you in the past couple days. How do you feel about the way you reacted to the trigger? Were you able to communicate your needs and emotions effectively?
The Moon also is in opposition to Mercury. So there is a T-square between the Moon, Saturn, and Mercury. We want to make sure that we are not allowing our emotions to rule the day. Even if you are feeling hurt, be sure to take accountability for your part in your own suffering. The Scorpio Moon can make it easy to fall into a victim mindset or to be emotionally manipulative. The harsh aspects from Saturn and Mercury can feel like a three-way tug of war between emotions, logic, and accountability. Do not punish or shame yourself for how you feel. That is not accountability. The way to alleviate the tension caused by this aspect is first validating your emotions, allowing yourself to just feel them as they are. Then after you’ve been present with the emotion write it down, question it, allow your logic to bring balance to how you feel. Then after you’ve identified the emotion, sat with it, and gotten a logical understanding of it, then and only then, can you do the work to accept the situation or change it as you see fit.
This is an opportunity for growth. I cannot stress enough that shame is what we don’t want to give our energy to today. It can feel very easy to either be the victim or be the punisher. We don’t have to be either of those. We can be someone with valid emotions who knows that they don’t want to continue feeling the way that they do. It’s possible to know that your emotions are valid and still know that the way you acted on them was unacceptable. If it is feeling hard for you to get your emotions under control today, don’t be afraid to take space. You’re allowed to feel how you feel and not want to affect other people’s energy/space with the heaviness of your own aura today. The Moon opposite Mercury, with Saturn kinda caught in the middle can make it easy for it to feel like the words are just stuck in our throats. Maybe we know what needs to be said but we’re not ready to say the words just yet. That’s okay. Saturn reminds us to take our time. Emotional resolution is not a finish line. You don’t have to rush to feel better. You don’t have to rush to make amends. Only say it or do it when it feels organic and authentic to you. These things take time. Take all the time you need. If you rush yourself into speaking up or “feeling better” before you are ready then it won’t be genuine and will only cause piled up emotions of resentment later.
The Moon is trine to Neptune which is sextile to Mercury. When it feels like logic and time are not helping the situation it is Neptune who offers spirituality and detachment as helpful tools of healing. The Scorpio Moon can have us feeling really attached to our emotions, feeling controlling or possessive about certain things. Attachment is a huge part of suffering. Examples of how attachment causes suffering are when we cannot see ourselves without someone or something, when we heavily identify with our emotions to the point that we don’t allow them to move freely and leave when it’s time. Let the trine between the Moon and Neptune remind us that we can be weightless. That we can open our hands and give our problems to whatever higher power we believe in our we can even see outside ourselves long enough to know we don’t have to feel this way. We don’t have to sink deeper into these painful feelings to the point that it feels torturous. Sometimes it takes the effort to detach from the past, where most of our pain and suffering comes from (the past and our attachment to it). So often, we try to escape our feelings by avoiding presence. Yet it is presence that allows us to actually heal our feelings. The avoidance only makes the healing process more challenging. So don’t let Neptune’s trine cause you to lean into escapism, rather lean into the present moment and see how weightless it feels to just be here rather than to relive the hurt.
*deep sigh* take a deep breath and remind yourself that just because it hurts now doesn’t mean it will hurt forever. I love you. Take care <3
