Dark Moon Symptoms

Dark Moon carb cravings are notorious. You experience a fresh fascination with foods that numb, as opposed to augmenting your awareness. Solution: Devise something comforting but also nourishing.  It’s the classic Dark Moon symptom and easily combatted by planning ahead. If you’re caught without a meal planned at this time, you’ll default to a food you favored in your childhood. But would your inner child/low Yin energies really be nourished by – say – lollies or starch?

Dark Moon Symptom Number 2: The desire to be alone. Not just alone-in-the-next-room but ALONE-alone. Most people annoy the fuq out of you at the moment. It’s not personal but you’re processing a lot of stuff and having to make conversation, be seductive or listen to an anecdote (AGAIN) that seems to be stuck on some auto-repeat loop. Solution: Don your hoodie and stride out for a long, long walk.

Dark Moon Symptom Number 3: Frustration with technology, laundry, crap not working, non-stop to-do lists, stuff that never seems DONE. Solution: Tidy up. There is a reason why a solid declutter is the Gold Standard of Dark Moon protocols and that is that it works. FAST. Find a drawer, a cupboard, a something and clear it. ALWAYS some lucid insight or release comes of this.

Dark Moon Symptom Number 4: Romantic yearnings that could just tip over into Love Zombie territory. Retro Venus on a Dark Moon, you understand. With Mercury opposite Neptune for extra psychic resonance. Solution: Keep it HAUTE. You don’t want to go lusting after ghosts and you don’t want to undermine the pure raw DIGNITY that is Venus + Mars in Leo.
