Are You Free?
The Path To Freedom
Q: are you free?
A: Life is beautiful. It is such a gift, perhaps it’s the biggest gift of all…to be alive. And yes, it comes with a full spectrum of human experience that is both shattering and exhilarating, expansive and terrifying, possible and trying - all at the same time. How is it that I get to wake up every morning to this glorious mystery and experience something completely new and different if I so choose (to become aware of the new and different)? Am I in fact free to change my mind and life at any moment? Am I not free if I forget this?
NEW MOON IN SCORPIO
Today is a new moon in Scorpio. A new moon is a threshold crossing, a moment of completion of the last moon cycle, and a release of the energy and processes that we have just experienced over the course of the past month. It is also the beginning. Death and rebirth, same, same but different. A new moon marks an entrance, the very fertile beginning that is still dark, internal, and ready to nourish the new seeds planted.
Scorpio is a sign that is incredibly intense, passionate, and spirited about transformation. And yet, Scorpio is also very selective, seductive, and secretive…so only the truly daring get to fully relish in this season, with an invitation to go deeper than before. For others, the threat to the ego is strong and if living from an egoic or unconscious compass, the lessons will prove difficult on purpose.
So what does this mean for you? Perhaps this moment is one of reflecting upon an egoic process you are completing or being internally ushered toward to work on and transform within yourself. What challenges have come up for you to resolve since the last new moon Solar Eclipse in Libra? It is important to note that we endured a powerful eclipse season this past month and put a 2-year cycle between Scorpio and Taurus eclipses to bed. If you haven’t let it go yet, let go now. Are you gripping with unconscious might? Do yourself a favor and assess your nervous system, your intuition, your inner knowing, and your health…are all parts of you in flow? What is out of alignment? It may be time to surrender something into the cauldron of Scorpio.
ASTROLOGY NOW
There is a particularly uncomfortable dynamic at play as this new moon is conjunct with Mars which turns up the heat and opposite Uranus which inevitably rocks and shocks the boat. Spicy, untamed, aggressive, and selfish motives may disrupt your moment either externally or internally, or both. It is time to take pause, review yourself and be accountable. But mostly, observe and stay humble, maybe even lay low as the instability of this astrology can lead to difficulty if improperly harnessed.
And…energy is energy. So don’t let yourself off the hook too easily, that could be a disservice. I know you might be tired and I certainly can relate as it is such a big moment of life with a lot of energy moving in all directions. Instead of getting distracted or scattering your energy, I encourage you to find focus, to get still within, and to seek refuge there. Your energy can be channeled powerfully through conscious relating with it. Now is a really good time to double down on your personal practices and revitalize from the inside with this lightning power of Uranus at your fingertips. Best to keep focused on inner work as the veils remain thin and it is a great time to see our shadow at play, learn of it, and transmute it through self-compassion and understanding. Infinite wisdom lives inside of you and if humble enough to break down the egoic barriers to entry just a bit, you might just find yourself swimming through your underworld with heavenly golden light from above guiding you towards freedom...
All my best to you and please receive the piece of my heart that lives inside these words.
