Astro for June 7, 2022
The moon is still in Virgo today (tap into yesterday’s blog post for more info about what that means.) However, today the moon forms a square to the Sun and a trine to Uranus. It’s giving coming through with the facts and challenging the nay sayers. The moon square to the Sun means we are halfway between last week’s new moon and next week’s full moon. The current moon phase is called the first quarter because the moon has revolved a quarter of the way around the Earth since the new moon. When you look at the moon tonight or even when you looked at it last night you might’ve noticed it was half full as the right side was lit up and the left side is dark, that’s how you know it’s a quarter moon.
This quarter moon, as the halfway point between the new and full moon, reminds us to check in with the intentions we set during the new moon. How much progress have you made? Don’t be afraid to restructure your plans a little so that they work better for you and the place you’re in now. The Sun and Moon both being in mutable signs allows us to have more freedom of fluidity today and accept change of course as redirection happens.
The Moon square the Sun can cause a bit of tension, in the context of Virgo and Gemini, this can feel like a want to broadcast our ideas but feeling as if we are not ready. Gemini Sun is ready to get on the megaphone and make big announcements. The Virgo moon feels a lot more cautious and feels like we need to have more of the details together before we get up there and make a fool of ourselves. For some people, it could be that you have an actual deadline or showcase that you agreed to and you have no choice but to honor that. To the people who actually have to make a move today is it that you are genuinely not prepared or is that you won’t allow yourself to just be ready right now? Don’t downplay your own credentials and qualifications. They wouldn’t have asked you to do it if they didn’t think you were ready. Don’t cheat yourself out of an opportunity to show yourself the talent that you have and all that you are capable of.
Thankfully that trine from Uranus to the moon can help us flex our sense of freedom and dgaf attitude. If the spotlight is gonna be put on you anyway you might as well make the best of the opportunity. One of my favorite phrases that I don’t get to use often is “Rock out with my cock out!” I think today is a fitting day to tell you to rock out with yo mothaluvin cock out. Don’t let the Virgo perfectionist energy have you feeling like you’re not ready. Lean more into the energy of that trine from Uranus or even the Gemini energy both can be loud and uncaring when it comes to the expression of their truth. Even if today you give it your all and it’s still not at the level that you hoped, that’s okay, consider it practice. It’s better that you try today and see where you can improve so that you can do better next time than waiting and letting more fear and anticipation build. Once you do whatever the scary thing is that makes you feel unsure, on the other side of completion you’ll realize it wasn’t that bad and you can be proud of yourself for even trying.
It’s important to say too, build better habits in the privacy of your own home. Practice the confidence you wanna have in the real world, at home. The Sun is the persona that the world see, the part of us that has the spotlight. The Moon is who we are in private, at home, or with our emotions. It seems as though today we have to confront the disparity between who we are presenting ourselves to be and who we actually feel we are. Do you act like you have it all together in the face of others but crumble when you are alone? Or do you play small in front of others but internally you know your power? Whichever side of the coin you fall on, today would be useful to get these different aspects of yourself in alignment. If you feel like you’re a star then be a star, stars shine even when no one is around. Big up yourself! It don’t matter who is or ain’t around, you gotta be you regardless babe. Don’t neglect your personal well-being or tone down your confidence for the sake of anyone else that is not your job. *think of shawty from Drake & Josh who had the catch phrase “that is not my job” IYKYK shawty had hella attitude.* It is not your job to emotionally betray yourself. It is not your job to be who people expect or want you to be. Your only job is to master your own authenticity and enjoy life (and even then technically you don't have to do that either). I say all this to say, live yo life as loud and proud or even as quiet and reserved as you want to, but either way it’s about doing what you want to for you.
Also, if you are feeling just out of it, emotionally overwhelmed, or tired today lay yo ass down. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Lay tf down. The moon square the Sun can have some people feeling a bit drained of energy while others might feel a boost. For my peeps who feel the former, please don’t push yourself today, there is no reason to. Yesterday, I talked about Virgo’s association with health and service. The most important thing to focus on always but ESPECIALLY on a Virgo moon is our health and well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. If one of these is not quite up to the standard of health you know it should be then let this be your day to recoup. Don’t feel pressured to put your needs aside to meet the wants of someone else. No, no, no. Rest, my love, please. You need it. You deserve it. I know it’s somebody that’s gone read this who knows they've been tired but have been too afraid of missing out on something or disappointing someone. It is not worth the burnout babe or the jeopardy of your health.
So yeah if you are the person who’s meant to show up and show out today, DO THAT SHIIITTTT. Show them who tf you are! Purrrr. I’m rooting for you! If you are the precious baby who needs to go lay down then please find your bed, put on some relaxing music, make some tea, put on your favorite movie, light some incense, phone a friend who can help your or chill with you or who makes you feel recharged. Do whatever you need to do for yourself care and do not feel guilty about it.
