When the sky is starless...

In November, December and January... these newsletters conveyed the important astrological message of our collective need to shift out of old ways that have demonized humanity. The full moon which rises today paired with a lunar eclipse marks the first eclipse of two this month... some potent energy for those of you prepared to finalize the shift. If you are at a crossroads, commit to the direction that heightens your frequency. Choosing to go down the well-worn, comfortable path will lead you right back into the decaying forest of situations that rot your heart. Give up the idea that there is a straight line from where you are now to where you are going. Before expansion we must have a contraction, an interruption of our conveniences and a ferocious insistence on getting out of the matrix of fear and doubt. Why do you undervalue yourself to the extent of remaining in situations that do not bring you joy? Why do you choose to sit in the moldy room of your mind and listen to your rancid thoughts. It's because you are insane. We're all insane and now is the time to choose illumination.

It's going to be a heavy month. Whatever is toxic in your life can become poisonous. The powerful force of celestial intensity this month can stimluate the creative fire within you to move toward the thing you know you must embrace, and to ride out the hardship that it may bring. Mercury goes retrograde on August 12, so the difficulty might feel more harsh than usual. Plan the move, quit the job, get out of the relationship, change your rigid behavior, trust in your artistic ability, ask for help, commit to healing from addiction, make the mindful shift into the new life phase, own your power. Although the cosmic energies feel ruthless, they are in your highest favor, supporting you like a compassionate parent who gives tough love.
