We’re about to drop into the 22-7 Degree Zone we’ve been speaking of, specifically, till 9 July, 25-6 Degrees. You might want to watch for these three trends, which should be Beginning soon if not already…
- Growing Awareness that you can Transcend your Habitual Bummers and Manifest Surprise and Delight instead (Stationary Mercury in Leo Squaring Stationary Chiron in Aries 7-8 July)
- Growing Realization that you won’t be Banished if you Let Go of your Habits of Hiding your Forbidden Genius (dwarf planet Ixion Initiating asteroid Bee-Zed in Sagittarius Squaring Stationary dwarf planet Haumea in Libra 8-9 July)
- Growing Awareness that you actually really can Change your Self-Sabotaging Habits (asteroid Karma entering Aries 7 July)
But we also have some Unfinished Business to deal with first – and simultaneously – namely the 2 July Total Solar Eclipse and New Moon in 11 Cancer, which is all about improving our Self-Sovereignty by Adjusting our Boundaries (New Moon Opposite dwarf planet Hylonome in Capricorn, T-Square to asteroid Pallas in Libra).
Other People are closely involved with our Habitual Bummers (Chiron), as our Empathetic Friends always Remind us by Asking about them, and People who know us less well assume we haven’t Changed since the last time we Complained about these Bummers to them. And Fear that we’ll be Abandoned for Expressing our True Self (Ixion) is all about Malfunctioning Boundaries. So the more Boundary Work we can get done early this week, the more Success we’ll Discover next week.
While that’s one Core Message of the Eclipse (the Purpose of which is to Illuminate what needs to be Changed), there are two others. First and Foremost, the Eclipse is a Request that we Practice Trusting in circumstances where we have no Reason to do so (Moira-Eurydike Yin Gate). That’s not Easy, but it’s the fastest way to Resolve our Self-Sabotaging Habits. By the time a Habit becomes Karma, we’ve long since quit waiting for the situation to become Traumatic. We’ve Learned how to Identify when a situation might develop into something resembling Abuse, and we now have the Habit of Extricating ourself first.
But that means we Avoid many situations that are not only actually Safe, but also situations from which we could Learn a great deal. I’m definitely not suggesting that you Abandon your hard-earned Self-Protection Habits. The Risk is too great that the situation will worsen, and provide greater Motivation for Self-Protection. But Vulnerability is a prerequisite for Ascension, so we need to push gently against our Self-Protection Habits, staying Present with our sense of Danger for a moment longer than we otherwise would, if we possibly can. It would be good to make sure that we do have an escape route, before we overstay our Security (Besides New Moon-Opposite-Hylonome and Moira-Opposite-Eurydike, the third Opposition in the Yin Gate is Orcus-Nessus).
We may also Encounter our Anger in situations that may or may not make much Present-Moment sense to us. If you find yourself Angry, or Frustrated, or Agitated, or Anxious, see if you can Sit with it and try to Quiet your mind. The Energy has an Important Message for us about our Ascension, which we’re likely to miss if we Project our Agitation on the Present Moment, or if we try to Analyze it into a little box. Whatever you think about it, remember to at least suffix it with “…or something like that” (Mjölnir to Mars-Mercury-Juno from Jupiter-Square-Neptune).
The New Moon does make a Yin Gate, and the Essence of a Yin Gate is about Getting Out of Logic and Opening to Paradox. If you run into any Contradictions, don’t Either/Or them. Both/And them instead…
