La Luna, Endarkened in Capricorn

So now the Moon is Dark (ie; right at the end of her Moonwane) and in Capricorn, so setting off the Saturn-Pluto Square that is one of the key themes this year.

If you’re not feeling the fabulousity of the Auspicious Aqua Weirding (the rare and beautiful Chiron-Neptune conjunction) it may because you’re trying to ignore a Saturn-Pluto reality…most likely something to do with a merde health habit, quasi-hysterical financial policy or desperately dysfunctional relationship but you’re sticking it for reasons not so much to do with sentiment/loyalty as fear and so-called convenience.

You see, Chiron and Neptune are beyond the bounds of Saturn so if there are Saturn-Girl style issues to look at, Saturn blocks the cosmic light.

Otherwise, if you’re in tune with Saturn, this Moon feels pretty damned good; a lot of finishing up ye olde biz, dealing with deets and actually toting up accomplishments. The low-ebb bit of it comes because you just don’t truly want to go all out in decadence mode. You’d rather work late or at least let your bod work hard for you doing cell renewal whilst you wander the realms of Morpheus, dreaming grand visons & doing your dark-time psyche work.

    Yeah, is it just me, or has some kind of genie been let out of a bottle?

    You know, I’m gettin’ it, bigtime. But what worries me is that I feel i might have gotten it before, and then forgotten. i feel fabulous, albeit v. menstrual (sorry). Everything is sussed. But will it stay sussed. how does one stay sussed?

    Whatever, wish there were hunky doorstoppers my way. There’s not a one.

    Well, theres a dichotomy here for me since as I had not gambled, smoked or drank for nearly six weeks I did fall off the wagon the other day but won almost $2000. Was betting $5 a spin and the thing just went ape..

    Back on the horse and trudging on through but interesting the very Saturn things I was working on I got rewarded for breaking. Perhaps thats because Jupiter is on my midheaven trine Neptune in 5th (the house of gambling..)

    The week before that I found $15 in my scrub pants pocket, yesterday $25.

    In any case my old habits do not fit into my future and am accutely aware of this and so again, baby steps…

        Just looked at my Chiron Return Chart that I ran last April, 09. It’s angles are only one degree off from my natal so theres a huge emphasis on my purpose as the chart reiterates “me”, so to speak.

        Today is the last hit of my Chiron Return before it moves on forever. If I don’t keep stepping up, even though overwhelmed sometimes, it’s curtains for my future…Deterioration and Death….Oh gee guys, I really do need a good cry. If I ever needed to be an Aries, that time is now.

          oh sweet pea sweetie, you are fine. let it all out, give some breath to the worries and fears. Then, after they have had their say / day in the chaotic democracy that is our psyche, reassure yourself that everything is as it should be and you are on track. Make a big mug of hot chocolate or something soothing and feel OK about things. You won’t miss your chance/s in life the way we miss a bus. Hope you feel better soon xx

            You are being an Aries! Such an Aries, actually… Gotta get it all in one go? No way out- but through? That warrior spirit has a really hard time admitting/submitting to death… Fight death, girl?….Some part of death, is part of the cycle…..dead warrior, it’s a yoga pose…. Stop waving that bloody sword AROUND!!! Geeze, you see some guy wearing a long black robe carrying a scythe and off you go…..

            It’s really about manifesting a dream and I’m afraid I’m going to fail so, just trying to hang in there. Not too afraid of the death and deterioration of the physical except for the fact that I would no longer have this particular vehicle to work in. It’s more about the renewal of my spirit in that cyclical sense.

            Thanks BSA, a good kick in the rump from another Aries…. :)

            lovely Sweetpea, you are such a kind and generous woman, so willing to offer support for other people. Take a big deep breath, cry that crap out, and then remember how completely fabulous you are!!! xxo

            Oh Sweetpea, even if you failed, would it be the end of the world? What does fail mean – getting published? How many successful authors have we all heard about who have been rejected a billion times before someone finally sees the value in their work and they become a raging success – MANY!

            I know what you mean with worrying about the vehicle to work in though. If the vehicle breaks down, you get it fixed or another one. It’s all about the journey, i know…..

          Sweet-pea, I am quite new to this forum but I am always in awe of just how bright and shinining and knowledgable you are. I wish I had but an iota of the understanding that you do about all of this, I am just muddling my way through, hoping to give meaning to what I am experiencing. Try not to be so hard on yourself. I know it is not easy, but try. I am scared. And I am always hopeful. As I said earlier, I wish I was blessed with your knowledge so I could figure out if this is just a passage I am enduring and have some insight how to work it. What I do know, from the teeny tiny insight I have beengiven from reading your posts, is that you seem astonishing, and I don’t doubt that you could do anything. Have Heart.

          Maybe the deterioration/death is about change. Grabbing life by the you know whats.lol That’s always a scary proposition. Especially when you go after something you want and there is the ever present fear of failure. Just know that through this adventure you are becoming more you. The detioration/death is letting go of the old, ready for the new you :)

          Sweets, I got here late, sorry. You’ve kicked those habits before, stick at it girl. Also I suggest you read what Jung said about aging — the integration phase, post individuation, where you integrate all your wisdom and become whole.

          My great friend the Aqua Air mother had marital troubles, depression and a drinking problem until her late forties, when her heavy drinker hubby had a heart attack. He was in his mid fifties. They both quit drinking, their marriage came together and they are the tightest couple to this day. He’s over eighty now and the most loving great granddad you can imagine. She is a spectacular mentor and role model and the most generous and non-judgmental person I know. Both are examples of stellar integration.

      hey toots – you’re doing a great job, don’t be your own worst enemy and judge yourself – that’s bullshit and you know it – Uranus won’t be helping you know? You’ve set yourself a pretty hard task to master.
      These are not easy times – it’s like being a push-me pull-you at the moment.
      Have you thought of trying hypnosis? It’s your pleasure centres having a craving, that gambling thang. Personally, I’m hanging for a cigarette – have been for about a week – can’t do it tho saturn’s in my 4th and I don’t want my house to stink – so very libran LOL – it’s a bummer gambling doesn’t taste/smell bad huh?

      Hang in sweetie – the luck IS mad at the moment but it’s never forever you know? xxx

        I have not heard of him whatever. Will look him up, and Jung on aging too Ubs. That’s it exactly Ubs, that phase now, gathering it all up and making a “whole”…

        Thanks so much guys. I really feel your support. All so generous and hilarious and wise and, and….

          If anyone can put you off gambling it’s charles bukowski lovely – he’s not light reading tho and not in the least bit to do with angels or crystals – some peeps just can’t read his writing it’s so raw kind of like reading someone’s open wound & he might just put you off men as well…

          This is a long gone post but in case you ever come back, I’ve known and loved many peeps who had issues with obsessions and have observed one of the keys to it continuing is the judging of self – much more harshly than anyone else ever would. It’s fundamental. If you can possibly step outside of that instinctual self-judgement and simply observe the event as a lapse, acknowledge it as an isolated event and reaffirm that it’s what you used to do and not what you do anymore it means you’re not hooked into that cycle of needing to do it again to make yourself feel good because you made yourself feel so bad with the self-judgement from the previous lapse. It lets you off the vicious cyclic hook to see it as an isolated incident.

          I have total faith in your ability to get through it successfully sweetie – seriously. Are you going to light a candle and say goodbye to it before the moon changes? Happy new moon to you xxx

    I’ve been having ongoing probs with my Kataka husband these days (the Saturn-Pluto shit-stirrer in my 7th-10th houses, respectively), but the Neptune-Chiron magic (2 degrees away from my 12th house cusp) compelled my friend to have an intense dream about me. She e-mailed, super-worried about me because of the weirdo power dynamics she perceived in my marriage last year. Wow.

      HV, (the Vexed is gone!), I came across this piece just tonight. Not to be nosy or anything, plus you mentioned your friend having a dream above, and I thought of what you wrote in an earlier post. I just thought how lovely Robert Wilkinson laid out the questions. Hope it’s useful. It’s useful for me at the mo anyway.

        Thanks, sweet UPV, I will think about these questions the next time I get into a tussle with the Husband. Sometimes I wonder how much of the abuse is issuing from me as well. Out of mistrust and insecurity . . . a cycle continues . . . Anyways I thought I’d skip being “Vexed” for now–it determines your whole outlook, no? I need to get some boundaries set, and “vexed” will not be one of them….

          Totally agree with not using ‘vexed’ as the name. :) Good luck darls! Having Aries rising will help out in setting boundaries I reckon.

    Love and hugs to all during this moonwane.

    Am off to uni today (by networking via the fire-service to find someone to catch a lift with) to participate in a workshop entitled ‘The 7 Secrets of highly successful higher degree research students.’ Have cleaned out my shed and am now renting it to a couple of caravans for storage, so that’s increased my income slightly.

    Rang an ex-work colleague who is looking for staff – he said yep – send me an email to make it official.

    Have printed and pasted my timetable (so far) for all of my literary meetings for the year.

    Turned down meeting up with Pisces ex-love because he didn’t want to go to Moonlight Cinema with me – he just wanted to go to the pub as usual – so I said I was busy. Am NOT missing the Gemini-slut-boy as much as I thought I would, now that he is out of the country. The door has closed as far as I’m concerned – just need to get out of the habit of thinking about him.

    Have booked another hyno-cognitive behaviour therapy session with a very astute doc / counsellor for tomorrow.

    Am back on speaking terms with most of my family. Especially my mum.

    Have been advised that I will ‘allowed to return’ to my brigade by the end of the month.. but I just might not – see how I feel about it then.

    Hope this is what you mean Mystic. Just wanted to share some good news for a change.

    Yay blueLibra!

    After reading today’s advice I got up early, enjoyed early morning atmosphere (the sun is no nice at that time of day), got to work early so wasn’t late/frazzled/annoyed by commuter crush, done a spreadsheet to focus my financial objectives for next 5 years, realised that my day job is fine (if not glam), asserted my determination to pursue creative aspirations in a realistic 12 month plan and planned reinstallation of healthy eating / regular exercise regime that fits within my current somewhat nomadic lifestyle.

    Results: feeling the vibe and ready to “lull” with the New Moon in a fully “present” mode.

    So not feeling the fabulous Aqua at the moment. Def. Saturn-Pluto bringing up stuff – a few days ago it seemed to peak. Now confusion has set in again and I’m wondering what direction to go in. Was going to get a consult done – been waiting for Feb 22 LOL – but I don’t even know which one will help. ARGH!!!!
