Transforming Emotional Complexity Into Empowered Liberation 🙌

Moon in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces

If we end up with our foot in our mouth today, don’t be surprised. It is for sure the kind of day that begs us to think carefully before we blurt out everything that runs through our mind. That said, what must be spoken aloud can and should come out today. If boundaries have been crossed, wrongs committed, or ill words spoken, accountability should be at the fore of our intentions.

The karmic implications of today’s sole aspect are those of talking about difficult things. They are about facing tension through communication in hopes of smoothing out what dismays us. This, of course, can be directed at us if we have been fools to believe something was a good idea when it clearly was not. Whatever the case, we can speak our minds today, but only if we have to. Trouble can ensue if we run our mouth too much.

Lots to talk about today! We may have crossed a line or two yesterday speaking out, but perhaps there was good reason for what was said, and maybe what was said needed to be heard. Regardless, there could be a plethora of explaining going on today, hoping to get our point across congenially. But today is not just about talking and communicating, we may be in the midst of discovering some vital new information and knowledge that extends deep into our curiosity corners to satiate a thirst for learning. If we have been inspired to learn something new and exciting, today beckons us to open the books and dive into them whole-heartedly.

It could be that we stumble upon something that intrigues us but confounds or confuses others. Are we feeling any confusion ourselves? Did we hear or read about something that has us skeptical or unsure? Sometimes we need good debates to clear up issues that are otherwise left unresolved or ill-informed, even if those debates happen in our own minds. This dilemma likely will affect us internally, so we should try to be conscious of the misinformation and conspiracies flying hither and yon if we are to get to the bottom of whatever might leave us hanging in the balance.

Water, in all its forms, is permeating our life today, perhaps literally, but otherwise metaphysically. From the cold dark depths of the sea of our unconsciousness to the babbling creeks and brooks of our stream of consciousness to the solemn moody rivers of our mystical emotional experiences, we are being bathed in the most essential elements that sustain life as we know it. We have to be careful not to drown in the swells of emotional sensitivity or the memories and nostalgia of our past. Instead, reaching for the future like some kind of mystic jewel will prove immeasurably more valuable.

Thrown into this whirlpool of immense emotional magnitude is a tension that is asking us once again to reconcile the differences that separate us from others and find ways to progress through the limitations we feel in our relationships. There is a relentless and undying desire to break on through to the other side of the rotting patterns that have held us back within those relationships. Resisting this reconciliation will only perpetuate our treading in the deep dark waters of yore. 

These meditations naturally tie into Sun’s ingress into tropical Scorpio, reiterating the aquatic ebb and flow of working with our losses and limitations in an effort to emerge more deeply connected to our loved ones and the world around us. Tripled with the watery Grand Trine between Moon, Saturn, and Mercury, there are a lot of boundaries to address when we seek to share our feelings and identity issues with someone close to us. All in all, this is a very high spring tide rolling in that could inundate our emotional serenity with disruptive imbalances and fierce resistance to growth. Due to the strength of this surge, we may want to bide our time with the residual effects of today and just soak it all in, no pun intended, because more water work awaits tomorrow.

Our emotional sensitivities continue to be on high alert, with perhaps more ambition to implement and integrate our intuitive revelations. There may be an issue that threatens our sense of justice, conceivably prompting us to feel enraged. Remaining vigilant of our reactive instincts, we must strive to abide by the high road and maintain a keen awareness of how to proceed through these issues. Rash emotional decisions are possible, but should not be carried out. It is very difficult, during times of emotional upheaval, to not give in to our reactive tendencies, but we would be wise to do our best to avoid this today.

Our inner child is in desperate need of feeling nurtured, which can be achieved by resisting the temptation to give in to anger, aggression, and violence. It needs calm, warmth, affection, and probably some really delicious food. What we might discover through experiencing such a flood of metaphysical waters is a means of healing our personal trauma through communing with the spirits surrounding us in the natural world. Sitting by a stream, swimming in a lake, surfing or bodysurfing in the ocean, or even a long relaxing soak in a hot bath can all help hydrate our parched souls and revitalize our stamina in time for tomorrow’s much-welcomed fiery Leo Moon.

Not only are we feeling sweet relief from the flood waters receding, we are basking in the warmth of a more invigorating and sensational benevolence today. The exciting buoyancy of the Leo Moon trining Venus in adventurous and expansive Sagittarius brings a spring to our step, a whistle to our breath, and a jovial hope that what we just endured over the past few days will unfold triumphantly. Matters of our emotions run deep, thick, and mysterious, often bogging down even the jesters in the court. When we listen more intently with our hearts, however, the emotional barrage drifts off like a morning fog, leaving only the merriment of Sun’s majesty to splatter across the earth.

Grounding us back into our daily efforts to make progress down this not-so-simple highway of life, we may be reminded of the emotional anguish that got stirred up Tuesday or Wednesday. What may have brought us to the edge can reemerge as a lesson in emotional detachment. Did we get lost in the muck in the bog of our feelings? Did we notice a way out while desperately trying to save ourselves from drowning in the flood? Rising above the swirling pools of vast emotional confusion can be in the cards today, helping to elevate our perspectives and allowing us to take positive action about something worthy of our energy and time. What is it time to elevate and invest our heart and soul in?

While still reeling from this week’s tempestuous ordeals, hopefully we see some more light shining into our quarters today. However, this light may shine upon some residual emotional issues that were stirred up earlier in the week, prompting further conversations to get to the bottom of how we would like to recognized and appreciated more. Do we know what we would like to be appreciated for? Is the hard work we have been putting forth paying off and bringing us some emotional healing and maturity? Is it bringing us to a place of deserved recognition?

Much can be acquired through delving into the progress we have made and noticing how far we have come on this long strange trip. It is usually very difficult to heal from past or ongoing trauma, and it is a delicate and emotional process that is not for the faint of heart. So often we find it easier to brush it all under the rug and distract ourselves with instant, yet temporary, gratification. But we must take into sincere consideration how proud we should be of ourselves and how thankful we should be for the people in our lives who love us, support us, and encourage us to keep forging ahead into our field of mastery and wisdom. Benevolent conversations, intriguing and inspiring education, and uplifting daily practices are all means of ascending our proverbial mountain of genius and distinction.

How well does our image of ourself jive with our values and capacity for self-sufficiency? Are we all we are cracked up to be? Maybe this path we are on needs to be recalibrated to better align with what we sincerely love and adore, as opposed to what we may have wanted to be in the past. Sometimes making small adjustments to the tack we are on helps not only fill our sails with more wind, but smooths out the glitches and ripples that were happening more frequently due too misalignment. Small changes sometimes create substantial reverberations in due time. 

We may end up feeling some dispiriting disappointments today if we have been too fixated on our image, our desire for praise, and ultimately our lack of humility. It is difficult to flow with the swells that come our way against our will when we fixate too drastically on any one outcome, perspective, or delusion, because nothing is entirely predictable or within our control. We might want to consider the ways in which we can bring greater flexibility and humility to how we perceive ourselves and how we assume others perceive us.
