If you follow luna, you'll see we're at the waxing half Moon in Pisces today. It's the point when the Moon comes into a square with the Sun. It's the time of dealing with inner resistance, or external obstacles. But it's also a time to hold your intentions strong, which is not easy in a world of so many distractions! Some themes for today are:
- Not judging yourself for strange or ugly emotions that come up, just letting them pass by like clouds.
- Not absorbing the problems of others.
- Looking at habits of emotional self-sabotage, like letting someone "steal" your energy.
- Protecting yourself from the bad vibes of a crowd or mass hysteria.
- Being productive with your imagination.
- Giving yourself enough solitude, to work through the emotional situations in your life.
Since the Moon is in Pisces, we're vulnerable to losing our focus for the day. We might easily check out through distractions, daydreaming, watching tv, hanging on the computer, etc. I took special note when the author Starhawk -- someone I've studied with -- said she's been trying to stay off Facebook, because she's writing a book. She didn't want to dissipate her energy. This is especially good advice (though hard to do!) when the Moon is in Pisces, and we're more apt to be enveloped in the moods and thoughts of others.
