Dark Moon Dispensing

If you're feeling an overwhelming urge right now to chuck your life and all its irritating little facets over the back of your head as you make a glorious getaway somewhere else, you are channelling the mood du jour.

We have tipped into the final week of the moon cycle whose dark tide is an invitation to jettison all that does not work / fly / add up anymore from our lives. We largely learn by experience; so it is that we come to know what no longer works by having it annoy all the swear words out of us. Or it begins to hurt so bad that we can no longer bear the pain. Or we finally reach a tipping point from which the shaky equilibrium we were turning ourselves upside down to maintain cannot be restored. After all this time we "suddenly" have no other option but to make change.

The sandpapering of our life has begun as we hurtle towards the eclipse of next week's new moon. Even though it may feel like a cupful of crapola right now - thank you Mars and Mercury butting heads in Scorpio - we are being shown in no uncertain terms what works and what doesn't. All so that we can make the necessary changes before eclipse season unceremoniously makes them for us.

Accept the discomfort as the giant billboard it is. That niggle is your signal to shift something. Do not fritter this time throwing your hands in the air when you can be placing them firmly back on the wheel. This time next week you'll be so very glad you did.
