Help! The earth is quaking
I am writing from the comfort of my home, in the middle of the afternoon on a Tuesday, still in my pj’s and messy bun. Not just any Tuesday, but a full moon, partial lunar eclipse Tuesday. And yes, I am hiding out. Two weeks ago we had a cushy new moon eclipse in Cancer. Today is a rougher, darker full moon eclipse in Capricorn and I was not having it. I am all about transition and change, bringing truth to light and airing the dirty laundry. But I also need rest. Eclipses can bring fatigue, full moons can bring fatigue. Today I chose rest. Today I chose myself. In this time when anything is possible I didn’t feel like risking an explosion. We already survived how many earthquakes this month?!? That energy is still around us, still shaking our foundation and rattling society to it’s core. An eclipse can be life changing, but it is not work we have to do ourselves. Sometimes the best work you can do for yourself is allowing for rest and absorption. I am allowing the eclipse to work through my life, work in all ways and eclipse out the unhealthy habits and structures that are not serving my life purpose. Capricorn is all about the life purpose, careers and our work. I am in a great transition with my work and I’m scared. I’m scared and excited. I am not going to let the darkness of this moon get to me. Instead I am going to hold on to the promise that over the next few weeks and months my life will transform in front of my eyes to bring my dreams to light as long as I am willing to pay attention, listen, and follow the path highlighted before me. So yes, I will indulge myself today with a lot of sloth, rest, and no guilt. I need and deserve this opportunity to honor my desire for rest and solitude and be easy on myself for once. Today honor yourself and whatever self-care and nourishment is calling you. Stay away from the fights and chaos, they don’t need you. The eclipse will work it all on it’s own, just be willing to process the aftermath and accept the new landscapes of your life.
