The Eye of the Storm
Moon will be in Scorpio + it's Mars' day: Fear can be the portal to profound growth; fight for a cause—bruises not welcome!
it's tuesday, april 15, & moon moves from libra into scorpio just before 9 a.m. MDT while being transported & supported by the starspace called vishakha. while libra is where we tend to be sociable, or at least focused on the people in our lives, our relationships, scorpio is where we pop the party balloons, pull into ourselves, go a little (or a lot!) dark; for relationships entail intimacy & intimacy entails connection & connection entails vulnerability—& vulnerability is scary, can make us wonder if, in our state of exuberance, we overshared, revealed too much, were too real for someone & may have lost their respect or affection as a result. so we wallow in the darkness of our worst fears & paranoias in scorpio, in the discomfort of not knowing what's real & what's imagined, in uncertainty.
how often do our worst fears actually come true, represent our reality, is our imagination actually vindicated? not very!
we can use our discomfort, our insecurity, as a doorway for profound growth, our fear to explore our feelings & reactions—why am i feeling this? what's my lesson?—to find our inner ground & become the eye of the storm.
"fear is the story we were fed to stop us. make fear the portal—you have kindred souls on both sides."—lidia yuknavitch
vishakha means "two-branched" or "two-forked" & unites our soul power & willpower, giving us the ability to penetrate through all things, overcome obstacles, find solutions to problems. vishakha says, "if there is a will, there is a way." we do, however, get to be careful about being overly ambitious or willful, so single-pointed-focused on our goal that we justify whatever we do to achieve it. no, the ends do not generally justify the means.
it's the third lunar day (tithi), the third phase of the waning moon, which is ruled by vishnu, who preserves all that is, & has the quality of nourishment, which is how all that is is preserved—how the sun keeps shining & the sky keeps producing rain so the earth keeps producing fruit & vegetables. what needs nourishment from you today?
tuesday is ruled by mars, who is, on his best days a spiritual warrior, fighting the good fight for a cause, to raise up an underdog, but on his worst days just wants to fight. make this a best mars day!
TL;DR
remember: 99.999% of the time what we fear is all imagination. • be ambitious & focused but stay in your integrity. • the power to nourish is on high today. • be a spiritual warrior, not one who kills & maims.
& that’s your daily bliss! IN-joy! 🌖🙏✨
