This new moon highlights an obstacle before you. Could be in the form of another person or a situation. Perhaps even a dynamic within yourself. Whatever it is, you need to make adjustments to your energy and attitude, regardless of what others are doing. This is not the time to push too hard. But it’s also not the time to give up and feel like a victim. You make small improvements to give yourself agency and purpose when the going gets tough. Mars square Neptune indicates you may not have a clear read on the current dynamics at play; be honest and humble in your attitude so you don’t fall prey to self-deception. This aspect also indicates that making sweeping changes or statements are not favored. You may have to walk them back in the future. Pay attention to your energy levels. Rest if you are tired. If you feel confused and/or overwhelmed, take a break from your screens and do something restorative.
The ruler of this new moon, Mercury, is square Uranus, encouraging you to be courageous with your communication. Impulse control is low and you feel an intensity to get your truth out there. It may get messy, and that’s ok. You are calibrating your words to your sense of identity which is changing. Give yourself and others grace to communicate from the heart. This is all part of the process to unveil something you need to see and grapple with right now.
If you find yourself getting into rigid thinking or behavior, maybe analysis paralysis, remember that there is universal support guiding and assisting you. Let an image or feeling that represents this come to you. Maybe it’s the sun on your face. Maybe it’s a warm embrace. Maybe it’s the wind at your back. Whatever emerges for you, trust it. And then, see if you can invite it into your body and feel the full embodiment of this support in your being. This is not an intellectual idea. It’s a core value that you can feel whenever you need to.
Intentions: I trust in the learning process and know that I have support to make steady improvements. The universe has my back when I am true to myself. I am strong, capable, and resilient in the face of any challenges.
