Crescent Moon Phase
This weekend brings air to situations. The theme of air has been dominant the last few days, and when air energy is in force, dramatic events take place. This is what has been happening over the past few days and will continue through Monday. Remember "Wind" days from the Mayan Sacred Calendar, Tzolkin? (Tzolkin is another name for the Sun but is also the name of this particular calendar - same thing really.) Wind days blow in strong and hard and substantially change things.
But wind energy also enables powerful forces and powerful people to really extend themselves. A confluence of astrological events of great power involving 1) Vesta and the Black Moon (home, comfort, sense of peace), 2) Jupiter blowing through the last degrees of Taurus (expanded perception of what home really is), and 3) this weekend's conjunction of Mercury, the South Node, and the Sun (new thoughts about the past and how to bring a revamped version into the present). Plus the energy of last weekend's solar eclipse is still popping off and spinning off its Ring of Fire.
All in all, this weekend's energy is about letting air into situations. An energetic window (vortex) is being opened, which is wonderful - if we are careful what we let in. I posted this on twitter yesterday when I realized what was happening. It is very easy to be affected by negative energy, but also just as easy to turn back toward the more positive side. I don't talk very much about eclipses, but this past solar eclipse energy was and continues to be impossible to ignore. The airwaves are charged. People are saying things that they wouldn't normally say. They are going out on limbs and, on the other side, going off the rails. Quick episodic remarks have great power beind them - power to heal or harm. We need to be viligent and super-careful about what we say. Give things some time (some air) before speaking them. Be aware that forces that oppose the feeling that comes with home - comfort, peace, heart, and hearth - are out in full this weekend. As a sort of tonic and counter-measure of protection, maintain a strong connection with the Earth by being outside and aware of all the beautiful things in the air and pull back into this if you feel yourself getting down or negative in some way.
