Polarity of Needs

Have you ever noticed that sometimes just when you decide that it’s time for you to take some time for yourself, some need comes along that directs your attention in another way?  That may happen when the Full Moon in Leo arrives on February 5 at 1;29 pm.
 
The Moon in Leo is all about having fun and wants the attention to be focused on you and your needs, but the Sun in Aquarius is more focused on the needs of others, your family, your friends, or just the collective at large.  Are you the type of person that puts your needs last?  Maybe it’s because you’re a mother and that’s expected.  Or maybe you’re the type of person that has a hard time speaking up for themselves and thinks that what you want isn’t as important as what others want or need.  The truth is that it doesn’t really matter what the reason is, but the fact that you put yourself after others’ needs are met. 
 
There’s nothing that says this dynamic is going to change overnight, but it has to start somewhere in order for it to change.  In order for you to give to others, you must have the energy to give.  I’m guessing that’s not always the case for you.  You may even feel like you’re running on fumes.  So today let’s start and give it to you.  What do you want?  Maybe you want to read a book, take a walk, exercise, eat healthier, the list goes on and on of possible options.  Pick one thing that you want for yourself today and give yourself permission to do it.  There’s nothing wrong with taking time for yourself.
 
Mercury will move out of the sign of Capricorn and enter the sign of Aquarius on February 11 at 6:22 am.  Mercury will speak more logically, analytically, and detachedly for the next zodiacal period.  It’s time to think things through.  How can you work with what you want and need to help meet the needs of others wants and needs?  There must be a logical solution.  Sometimes you just need to think outside of the box and the Aquarius energy loves to think outside of the box.  Aquarius energy is great for looking into the future and coming up with different possibilities.  Harness the energy and use it to your advantage.

Entering the Void

It’s the time of year when you won’t be getting as much done as you might like.  Mars in Gemini is going retrograde on October 30 at 9:26 am.
 
Mars is the planet of action and when it goes retrograde it goes into a period of rest.  It doesn’t mean you won’t get anything done until it goes direct, but it will take longer to accomplish your tasks.  Maybe you need a break.  Let’s be honest, most of us need a break from all of the intense energy that has been happening.  The emotional upsets, power struggles, money issues, and self-worth drama.  It’s just been all too much.
 
This week you’re in the in-between phase between the Solar Eclipse (New Moon) on October 25 and the Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) on November 8.  Hopefully, you’re releasing the things that no longer serve you and are moving with the energy.  It’s hard to change, but the universe wants you to go with the flow.  Don’t fight the energy.  It’s here to serve your highest and best good, even if it doesn’t always seem like it.  It’s a challenge when you don’t know what’s on the other side to roll with life, but you’re being asked to give it a try.  Just remind yourself everything you want is on the other side of fear.
 
There are a lot of lunar (moon) aspects that I won’t address this week, but it will constantly draw you back to this Eclipse energy.
 
On November 5 at 6:22 pm, Venus in Scorpio will oppose Uranus in Taurus.  Uranus is trying to awaken you and help you grow.  This is the latest aspect that is helping to guide you in this direction, but with Uranus, if you don’t follow the nudges, it will eventually push you.  You may become emotional as a part of this struggle or other people may be playing with your emotions.  Either way, keep this energy in mind as the week closes out. 
 
It's important during periods of high energy to remember your methods of self-care.  Could be meditation, Reiki, exercise, etc.  It can be a challenge to fit into your busy life, but it always makes you feel better.
