I'm not going to concern myself too heavily about what Moonday Magic this is. It doesn't really matter. Maybe I won't even commit to numbering each entry. All I know is that I'm going to do my absolute best to get back to writing a weekly blog post. I think it's important to reach out at this time to remind you that you're not alone, and no matter what, you have a support system. I'm not going to get into the politics of it all right now. I'm here to talk about magic, and the upcoming New Moon.
Lately, my brain is FULL of. I have so many ideas and thoughts and feelings zipping around in my brain. It's a bit more manageable right now, because I adjusted my medication, but right now I have so much going on that I'm finding it hard to even sit down and write down any of what I'm thinking or feeling. I have the sense that a lot of us are probably feeling this way. Even though it's challenging, it is worthwhile to try to digest what's going on in our minds and hearts. I recommend sitting down with a pen and paper and just letting it out. The posts you see on social media are not how you feel; they can instruct you and your feelings, but it's important to remember that a reaction to something you see online is not actually the root of what you're feeling. Does that make sense?
I feel like that was a bit of a channeled moment. That's cool. I honor that.
We are officially in Cancer season, and somehow I think I missed the memo. I want to preface all of this by reminding the world that I'm not an astrologer. But I'm a psychic/intuitive/medium Witch, and sometimes I just need to express what I'm feeling. The New Moon on Tuesday/Wednesday is the Cancer New Moon, and it'll be overlapping with the beginning of the Neptune retrograde (in Pisces). I always get really nervous when I heard about retrogrades, but I think that this retrograde is coming at a very needed time. This retrograde is going to give us a change to look at things more rationally, and consider what actually needs to be done in order to make things a reality. I feel like this retrograde is going to help balance out the Cancer energy that could be a detriment during this upsetting time, and give us the clarity that we need to keep on fighting. Speaking of fighting, Mars is in Aries, so a lot of us are going to be feeling ready to fight and win. Harness that energy, and use it in conjunction with the Cancer, so help us remember why we are fighting. Too much Aries + Mars energy can become directionless, because anger without a goal can just be blinding. The Cancer Sun/Moon + Pisces Neptune retrograde is going to help us cool down, wash out our eyes, and look at the situation more clearly.
For the New Moon, a lot of us are probably wanting to just recede, hide, isolate, and be alone. That's not a bad thing. Allow yourself to take some time alone, and be alone. Embrace your need for solitude. Embrace the fact that you need to take a break from the world. You are allowed to pursue a feeling of comfort, security, and safety. Especially now. If you're in a position to be able to feel those things, even just for a little bit, you absolutely should. Maybe that means being alone. Maybe that means communing with close family or friends. Maybe it means cuddling with your animal familiars. Maybe it means a phone call. Whatever safety, security, and comfort look like to you, allow yourself to feel that and take some time to strengthen your shell against whatever is yet to come.
Our sense of safety and security has been shaken by so many things. It's pessimistic, but this is part of the human condition. All we can do is continue to seek out community, and build community, and radicalize ourselves to help shape the world into something that allows us to exist in a meaningful and healthy way.
Don't let what's been going on weaken you. I understand if you feel scared. I understand if you feel heartbroken. Whatever you're feeling is valid. Just don't let your feelings prevent you from being you, and from contributing to the world. Everything you do has an impact on this world, and that's a beautiful thing. Keep making, writing, creating, existing, supporting. You are an entire world in yourself, and you can keep benefiting the world even when you don't know what to do.
