Fullmoon and cancers


Today is a fullmoonday. Just like we normally experience every month. Allthough this month, there is a special vibe to it, we might just be going through some exceptionally high tides.
The ebb and flow of our emotions might just pull us into gravtiational forces that is stronger than we might be comfortable with. The fact remains that us earthlings are forever under the spell of the Moon, and in astrology, the Moon reflects our emotional nature. The lunation cycles affects our emotional nature, and we are being pulled into the intimate zones of others through the body of the moon. There, we experience life in its most personalized form.
It is a reflection of our needs, and when we get out of balance with ourselves the danger is always there that we project those needs on other people. And when someone answers to our projection, attachments are formed. That is how we keep together year after year. Ideally, we feed eachother. Sometimes when someone needs us, we need them, like with your children. We need to be needed. It is a way of finding purpose on earth.

But these dynamics can be highly distorted. Humanity's lack of inner security leads to compensatory behaviour. We find security everywhere but where we ideally should find it, we find it in our televisions, in food, in our partners, in our jobs. Which is okey, as long as the outer circumstances stay the way they are and continue to affirm us. But the moment there is a change, the moment the feeders are cut off, that moment can both challenge us and it can trigger enormous growth. People seem to shy away from this, we tend to prefer staying in our comfortzones, but when there is no more growth there, we are pushed our whether we like it or not. And then, you will have to affirm yourself, you will have to find God within yourself, in order to take the next step as a human being constantly becoming.

We all have days that we don't feel like a million bucks and when we become needy for others to be there and feed us, hold us, nurture us, when we can't seem to find it in us to do it ourselves.
It is not always easy looking in the mirror and say "I love you". We tend to be pulled into the reflection about our oversized noses or the wrinkles that disturbes the peace on our facial expression. Sometimes we wake up and we don't know how we will manage or survive. Maybe you lost your job, medical care took all your money, your car was stolen or you lost your pet.

Your life is being challenged. This is the point where you need to be awake and instead of just moving with the flow of your own emotions, indulging in them, take time to work through them instead. You will empower yourself. You will be the one that supports you, and not by denying emotions all together, no, by facing them headon, and process through them, once again clearing the field, and making you capable of being creative again.

Nothing can be denser than emotions. They can pull our heads out of the skies and into the less fun sides of ourselves. My friend would say, we are emotional animals. And we are. There is something about us humans that at first glance can seem highly contradictory, and still, it is a part of our human nature. It is what makes us feel connected to eachother. Unless we are completly blocked from our emotions, we all have it is us to empathize, we can understand and respect the time it takes for people to release whatever projection they got going on. We understand that we create attachments, and we release attachment.

A fullmoon like today is one that goes quite deep into the emotional nature of human beings, giving us the opportunity to see how each and one of us go through the creational process of emotions. Why we react the way we do, why we become defensive, or how easily we adapt to the changing environment and to different people. How much energy we spend to avoid fear. How we project and how quickly we are able to release. This breating in and out happens everyday. The tides are always moving. We are constantly in some movement, nothing ever stands still, except perhaps our fixed ideas about life. In the flush of today's movement, those ideas might have to leave you. Your ideas about emotions, your justification, your projections, maybe they all should leave, and you will see what is left. Might just be that you feel intensly liberated, because you hold the key to Creation. Creation happens in every dimension of existence.

Venus is heading into Cancer. This is the time for us to turn the attention inwards and confirm ourselves. We are emotional beings, respect that, take care of yourself and treat people around you like your equal. Go to the mirror, look at yourself with respect, your body with gratitude for carrying the sometimes heavy load of your inner being, and stream out love to every part of your being. Let us feed ourselves, so that the world can become a less starving place to live.
Abundance comes from within.
