Hello dear First name / one,
And welcome to eclipse season. I want to preface by saying that I do not identify as an astrologer. I never intended for the Moonsletter to be an astrological forecast. What I do include is based on my own understanding of astrology, my sensitivity to collective energy, and that which my intuitive guidance calls on me to share. The Moonsletter is a transmission, from me in my world to you in yours. We can only connect on the level of our shared reality but hopefully some of this insight resonates with you.
Full moons and new moons are beautiful times for self and collective reflection. They remind us that nature is cyclical, and that we are natural matter. We ebb and flow like the tides of the ocean, we peak and soar like wind, we settle and decompose like earth, we rage and burn like fire. This next month will see its fair share of astrological uncertainty, the death knell for the old ways resonating in each of us and across the collective consciousness. Many are fearful and fear breeds anger toward the new, the “other.”
As we close out 2020, let us remember that this year each and every one of us has contended with power dynamics that were destabilizing or caused us to feel unsafe. When we balance assertiveness with compassion, we create a foundation for cooperation and resolution. As we fully step into the “Age of Aquarius” (I can’t say that without singing this classic), we are asked to find creative and completely new solutions to our systemic issues. We must be willing to stretch beyond comfort, to be wrong, to examine our inner truths, and to hold ourselves as well as others accountable. And this process begins on a micro level, with our own self-awareness and personal responsibility.
