Self – Honesty

The lunation cycle that began with the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius,  a New Moon, has reached the waning phase as the Moon in Scorpio prepares the way for a deep emotional healing if we are willing to journey into the murky waters of an overwhelming fear. At the Solar Eclipse we were offered a time to set an intention for the coming six months. The eclipse was in Aquarius suggesting that our intention had something to do with recognizing that our life vitality, our essential self, is reflecting something much larger than our self, which in turn, is propelling us to participate in something greater than our self. As this month’s lunation cycle unfolded we discovered at the waxing phase that we were building self-esteem and self-confidence, and at the Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon phase, we recognized that embracing self-love was an act of humble reverence honoring Life.

In every waxing phase of the lunation cycle we enter a period of self-reflection examining our actions during the previous three weeks. When we are under the influence of Scorpio we are challenged to look directly into the eyes of our soul in self-honesty and naked truth. This waxing Moon is translating to the Sun the thoughts and feelings of six planetary bodies in Aquarius including Mercury’s recent re-entrance into Aquarius bringing flashes of insight like electrical shock waves rippling through our perception of reality. This is a good time for us to investigate our perception of reality in order to gain fresh insight into those unconscious  motives that have become our conscious realizations. The infusion of this much Aquarian influence in our daily living has baptized our conscious awareness in cosmic clarity giving us a deeper self-understanding which hopefully is leading each of us to a deeper self-appreciation and self-acceptance. The greatest gift of Aquarius is opening our mind and heart to receive the intelligence of the Universe.
