It’s
the full moon again. Not just any full moon, this one is in Scorpio (Hitchcock
music plays in background).
I make no claim to be an authority on
Astrology. I am however an authority on myself. What I notice during Scorpio
full moons is a pull toward my addictions, old addictions, the ones I thought
were long gone. When the light of the full moon shines I see the scars and feel
the phantom pains of decades ago. Oh and I’m usually unreasonably horny, lets
not leave that awkward truth out.
What I
experience over and over again are new layers of old gunk rising to the surface
to be cleared. I get to feel it, in order to heal it. That old tug of addiction
is just my trusty old hypothalamus standing guard with doomsday warnings
telling me, “These untidy emotions are dangerous! Shut it down, it’s not safe.
Don’t go there!"
If I slip into
a less conscious state (like the 3 drinks later state I kind of want to flee to
now) I don’t notice the self sabotaging behaviors contaminating my creation.
Here are some of them:
- I stop wanting authentic connection with people and opt for quick shallow chitchat.
- I’m far too busy for meditation
- My food choices become less than nourishing
- I rush through my day
- I stop liking who I am
I know I’m not
the only one! So if you’re feeling the tug of this moon and your running from
the icky residue that’s resurfaced here are my tried and true suggestions:
- Slow the f**k down!
- Take a few things off your to-do list
- Spend some time in nature (even a slow walk in the park will do)
- Get enough sleep
- Admit what’s going on
- Have some great sex with someone you love and you know loves you!
This
too shall pass. As the full moon wanes so does the intensity of how it all
feels. We don’t have to understand it, but we can understand ourselves and how
we work.
Know
thyself. When you get how you work, everything else works! In the meantime F**k
perfect and stay free!
