Welcome to the last week of this endless Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn cycle. The planet of communication, ideas, technology, and travel is gonna leave its Shadow Phase on the 7th so we're almost there MoonBeams!

Mercury is super quiet with its transits this week too; it's finally pulling out of that uncomfortable Square to Chiron. Best use of this quiet Mercury energy? Enjoy the fucking stillness and spend some time thinking about WTF you may have learned, edited, or rewritten during this challenging cycle. 

It's been really brutal babes, but there's always something worth knowing hidden IN there so lean into it and remember if it's uncomfortable it's probably ShadowWeRK!

The first part of the week is generally quiet so don't forget to take advantage of the calmer energy to recharge and reflect as you prep your Full Moon WeRK. 

It's a powerful Full Moon in Leo asking you to step up your self-care to level 'radical'. You are worthy of this Magical practice AND so are the people around you. Take care of your SELF but/and make the extra effort to extend that practice to others too. What can you do to practice Radical Group Care too?

The Sextiles and Trines of Wed/Thu are offering us a chance to evaluate the gifts and values of some of the harder stuff we've experienced with the Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio since December 2021. 

Sit down and try to draw a connecting line between that hard shit and its potential gifts for you. They are always there. And that's not just some narrative about how all terrible things have a "bright side". I would never say that because sometimes things are just fucking dark and terrible. What I always mean is that there is always good WeRK layered in and under the hard wOrk. Sometimes we have to sit and look for it. 

Your Magic is shaped by your lived experiences. Sometimes that means that part of you will break and it will never be repaired. Life changes you and that's okay. These experiences show you that you have control over your reactions. That's where the REAL power is. It's in how you decide to react to the fucked up shit even if that reaction is rage, anger, sadness, or despair. You are worthy of all your feelings and reactions. They are all messages. 

And, since our reactions are literally the only things we have control over, it's not a surprise that this toxic culture wants us to believe that we can't make our wounds and traumas useful [in whatever way we see fit]. 

This week says it's time for us to reclaim that power and use it to make the changes needed to have a real relationship with our heart's desire. It's your birthright to react emotionally in whatever way feels right. 

It's also your responsibility to let others do the same, even when it's hard for you. This is what the collective is missing, the point where our individual needs meet our collective needs. That space requires tending and it's fucking uncomfortable WeRK. There are no shortcuts to it. 

And the only way to reclaim this power for everyone is to acknowledge that THAT doesn't mean anyone is entitled to let their reactions harm others. There has been so much damage to this connecting point we struggle to understand how humans could live in a world without codes, rules, laws, borders, and punishment; meanwhile, every other living thing on Earth does it without missing a beat. 

It's delicate WeRK and we can only heal the way things operate now by spending time examining our wounds and realigning them with a new operating system. 

What are your thoughts on this? This week offers up a chance to lean into new operating systems. How can you change the way you operate/react in order to make more room for others to do the same? How do your emotional reactions impact your physical life and vice versa? 

I've been learning more and more about the mind/body connection over the last few years. As a person who has had chronic pain most of my life, I've FINALLY discovered that the root of my pain is actually emotional trauma. Not to go too deeply into the specific details but it's been amazing to research some of the resources available for this rewiring of my brain. I don't endorse any of the resources I've found yet, because I haven't been WeRKing with them long enough but I'd love to know if you have found any info on these topics? If you felt like sharing, that would be amazing. 

A friend shared this site called Curable with me and I've been digging into the blogs and some podcasts (both via Curable and others). I haven't purchased anything (yet) and this is definitely not a paid endorsement. I just wanted to share this in connection with this week's AstroWeathers because there's so much confusion around the value of feelings and facts in this culture. If any of you are chronically ill folx I'd love to hear about your experiences with these ideas too. We will definitely be exploring this more as Venus continues thru Pisces...

WTF is a MoonScope?

This week The Moon will light up Gemini, Cancer, and Leo this week. 

The Moon will be in the Full Moon Phase.

The Full Moon is about reflection, rejoicing, & revelation. This Lunation is about seeing the true truths so we can rejoice in their gifts & opportunities even if they fucking suck. It’s time to honestly consider the shit we find in this part of our chart. There’s nowhere for our Shadow WeRK to hide during a Full Moon. This Full Moon promises to be extra bright & shiny just like Leo is.
