I’m writing this because it seems that I must. Holy shit people. The last few weeks have been insane. In the last 2 days alone, I have received 3 e-mails and two phone calls re: Can we talk….. 5 people needing me to just listen about what’s going on in their lives. So much internalization. And it’s good! To question who we are, what we want to become and who we spend our intimate lives with is important. But it’s a positive action, not a negative one. Don’t tear yourself up about it. Breathe and write. Relax. I promise, everything is going to be ok. So, I was about to leave the house today to take care of business… I walked into my living room, grabbed my laptop and turned off the lights. Instead of making my way to the door I just stopped and looked around. I took a deep breathe and sat on my couch, closed my eyes and listened to the wind rip through my trees. The wind chime across the street is perfect. It was nice. Then another person contacted me about transition in their life…. Oh my, the world seems to be in a weird place right now…. So I went online and discovered there is some transition in the moon cycles…… Hmmm…. The dates are ridiculously significant:
The New Moon in Virgo completes a cycle of three eclipses-the Leo New Moon partial solar eclipse on Aug. 1; the Leo Full Moon total lunar eclipse on Aug. 16; and now the Virgo New Moon partial solar eclipse; Aug. 30. During eclipses, the lunar influence is much stronger and long lasting, and so we must review the whole eclipse cycle, especially to see what actually happened during the first three weeks of August. Astrologically speaking, the Moon is an instinctual force. It is an ever-changing symbol of your emotional life including such things as home, family, dreams, feelings, the public and your early childhood. The Moon represents your environment, the one you were born into and the one you create for yourself. It also talks about your support system, and your “involuntary nervous system.”
Personally speaking, many of you know that I am obsessed with patterns and cycles. I write in a journal every night and every day, making notations of how I feel, how I slept, my energy levels, confidence levels, creative energy.. So much. I make notes like: ate healthy, had some alcohol… etc. Little notations of outside factors that may influence my mood that day or the next. I’ve learned that after I drink, even if only a few glasses of whatever, I’m a bit depressed the next day. After looking at 12 years of notations and facts, I’ve discovered numerous patterns in my life. They were quite obvious really…. There are trends in everything we do. I’ve written about this before, but the moon is one of the most powerful things in my life. Sounds absolutely new age and blah blah blah, but it’s proven legitimate. The world seems so vast and unpredictable, but is it? I mean, I’m not an astrologer but I am amazed that there is a lunar cycle. And it affects all the oceans on this planet. I can look out into 50 years and determine how the surf will be on the west coast on October 12, 2058. The moon has some wicked power… If the moon can control our oceans, and our bodies are mainly water, think about what it can do to you. And it’s going to be completely accurate. Cycles and patterns. They hold true and they help me understand the things I can’t control…. It’s nice to know that sometimes, when things just feel absolutely shitty, it’s not my fault. Simplify your life and let go of what you think you know. For me, the last 12 years have proven that every March and every August I am faced with LIFE. I’d internalize everything and spend weeks sifting through my LIFE. Who am I? What am I doing? Etc…. Rather than let it affect me negatively and ditch the self doubt stuff and embrace the energy as positive. Not negative. I then spend the next 6 months working towards my goals… Reevaluating again in March. Because sure as hell, it all comes flooding in. Life. It’s brilliant.
Long story short. Perhaps I should have just stated this off the bat: The new moon represents internalization and it will most likely affect your nervous system. I recommend taking notations and finding patterns in your life. Embrace internalizing, and don’t think of it as a bad thing… It’s just the opposite, there is no one more important in this world than yourself. Work, but smile along the way.
