The polarity of perspective…
Ok…so maybe I don’t really want to exit greet this moon cycle with such a ‘good riddance’ vibe, but I won’t lie, I’m super glad to have a little more of my happy back and my productive, earth heavy chart is ready for the fire energy coming at us today as the moon leaves the Pisces haze behind for go get ‘em Aries.
That was a rough couple of days in emo land for this gal. How have you felt since Monday??
While the cycles of the moon will hit everyone a bit differently based on the unique aspects and placements of one’s chart, generally this Neptune ruled water sign ushers in waves of incredibly awesome yet equally difficult feelings.
The qualities that most might welcome include vivid dreaminess, creativity, psychic sensitivities and enhanced compassion for your fellow beings.
However, as always, there’s a shadow to the last sign in the zodiac. A Pisces moon can bring up feelings that for many, resemble symptoms commonly associated with depression.
Pisces moon may yield extra sensitivity to the behaviors of others, prompting withdrawal and feelings of hopelessness.
One may also feel more pulled to dream land - at best, imagination in creative outlets, but at worst, numbing out with whatever vice may float your boat out to neverland (and yes, brownies and Bravo can count as vices that tune out the real world in favor of a temporary escape!).
In the past I’ve felt shame and frustration after waking up in the Neptune haze. Despite having a full to-do list, it’s like I don’t even know WTF to do with myself - where to go, what to eat- nothing.
It wasn’t until I tried about a dozen of my “feel good” techniques that I started to feel more grounded - right in time for evening routines of course 🤪 (also wondering if that hematite bracelet I acquired around 4pm had anything to do with the shift 🤔 but we will save crystal curiosities for another post!) That’s what leads me to what I really want to share…
Some days are just gonna suck, there’s no stopping that; but you can keep going and as possible, challenge your perspective rather than judging yourself (or the world, or others, or whatever circumstance may *seem* to be causing the suck).
In fact that’s one of the beautiful reminders Neptune and Pisces can offer us - the polarity of sucky to amazing is on a super thin line. Anxiety can be a gift even when it feels like a worry filled curse. Using our awareness to see that both truths can simultaneously exist, all fluxing based on our actions and perspective offers a bit of a respite from those shadowy Neptune grips.
This round of Pisces moon energy brought out some yucky depression symptoms, that actually led to some cool creativity in making my first Insta reel. I made a creative attempt at capturing my deep feels in an effort to see what I couldn’t sort out in the moment, and share with others in a “let’s get real” post.
My Sagittarius rising does a great job at trucking through life looking like smiling rainbow sparkles most of the time, but there’s so much going on beneath the surface that also deserves air time, because it’s a part of me, and I’m done burying it.
There’s no one thing that will fix any of your problems. The thing is, there’s not a fix at all - usually those deep beliefs stay right there, and the goal is awareness - that’s what releases you from the depths of despair.
It’s the accumulation of attempts - the sentiment of self care you exude when your toes hit the grass for grounding. When you turn the shower for a minute of cold rinse after your hot, healing shower. It’s the decision to wash your dang face and slap a little concealer on those dark circles because you know it helps you to feel refreshed and more ready to take on the world. It’s going to dance class when you’d rather crawl under the comforter.
Taking these little moments for yourself throughout the day can get you one step closer to clarify, acceptance, and peace.
Is this Neptune energy download helping you to better understand the whirlwind of feels you’ve been spinning in the last two days? I hope so, and if you wish for any further understanding of how to work with the energy of the moon and your overall natal chart, so next time you feel compelled to try your art rather than reach for the vino (or maybe do both 😂) I’d love to have a consultation with you!
