This new moon has a “big reveal” quality to it. You know how after the makeover of a house, a person, etc. the curtain is pulled back, and ta-da! The new look renders us speechless, mouths agog, and sometimes with tears flowing. What happened to us at that moment? The past and future collide, pulling you into an experience you might not have thought possible. Beliefs that kept you safe and contained are challenged. You expand your heart to accept more beauty and magnificence into your experience.
The need for growth and change is heightened with Pluto opposing the new moon. Powerful individuals are coming into your experience, helping you to transform and evolve. Sudden realizations help you understand whether you are opting in or opting out of a direction or path. There is no middle ground and your focus is what is true for your heart versus what others will think about it. To quote the great Mary J. Blige, “… I be myself and I grew to love it. Let ‘em get mad. They gon’ hate anyway, don’t you get that? Doesn’t matter if you go along with their plan. They’ll never be happy ‘cause they’re not happy with themselves…” Listen to whatever power anthem speaks to you to get hyped up and excited. Your willpower is getting an injection of energy. How are you going to direct it? Harness the leadership, determination, and stamina you need to see your dreams through.
Venus square Mars adds friction to your interactions. This can be a good thing, like when you need to get something out in the open or someone challenges you to do better, think bigger. It can also show up when your message isn’t landing or the inability to listen to one other. Because Mercury is retrograde, confusion and miscommunication will likely occur. Do whatever you can to use humor skillfully to diffuse tension and practice your active listening skills.
Intentions: I am worthy of love. I can trust the guidance I get from my heart. I am a creative, evolving being. I have the stamina to see my dreams through to actualization.
