Weekly Weather June 13, 2011
Cosmic shuffle time! The deck with the cards of your life are shuffling, shuffling, shuffling. The click and crispy sound of the edges of the cards of your life flipping past each other, one side then, the other side. The arch forms as the two deck halves shift, slip and combine back into one deck. The solidness of the deck reassembled. Cut. Shuffle. Click crisp as the cards reconnect and move. Arch. Slip slide together. Whole again.
The eclipses are here! The eclipses are here!
Last week, Saturn stationed asking you to choose or possibly change your life direction or the people, places and things in it. This week, the full moon eclipse on the Nodes of Destiny will illuminate and shine a cosmic spotlight dead on the emotional issues at hand.
Eclipses are highly, highly emotionally charged times. And this eclipse promises to be a doozie as the lunar eclipse Full Moon is right smack on the Nodes. The Lunar eclipse virtually identically repeats the angles of the Solar eclipse from two weeks ago. Scorpio rising in the lunation charts means we need to dig into the psychological component of the matter and pull it out into the Sun. Leo Midheaven exposes the behavior for us to see. Time for us to dry that bad behavior issue out and Detox from it!
The Sun on the South Node for these few weeks is calling out Mercury in unusual ways too. We are seeing our area(s) where we are not so great, feel rather insecure or are “tricked” time and again. At the same time, we are being asked to step up to the plate and change. When the “trick” happens ~ see Mercury’s role as the trickster ~ WE are asked to and HAVE TO RESPOND DIFFERENTLY. We have to, in some new way, OWN OUR BAD BEHAVIOR and CHANGE. Saturn is active here too! He wants us to be responsible. We have to take responsibility for our behavior.
Certainly the collective offers the example of Anthony Weiner and his often texted member and body parts. It is behavior that he’s probably done for YEARS. He only got married last summer and was known as a bit of a randy fellow. His behavior is exposed. The behavior is deemed completely inappropriate now that he is married and expecting a child. That his wife works for Hilary Clinton, another woman whose husband’s behavior brought an unwanted spotlight into her life, brings the irony to a different level for all of us to reflect on.
In YOUR life, some place, you’ve been doing your version of Anthony Weiner’s bad behavior. And YOU got called on it. Or you got caught up in it. Or you are crying about it. All Mercury and Saturn are doing is trying to get you to take responsibility for your actions ~ or for your part in the story. You did your version of sending a photo of your weiner to someone and got nailed for it. A habitual behavior of your psyche got nailed.
Or perhaps we might call it a cosmic short sheeting? The south node energy pulled you up short and stopped you short this time.
Remember short sheeting from your camp days? You fold the top sheet in half, tucking the bottom into the top of the mattress. The unsuspecting person hops into bed, only to find their legs can’t descend fully into the bed. They are stopped short. Short sheeted.
In my recent emails and observations from various reporters on the South Node front ~ short sheeting is happening. A friend who is gullible and trusting in the ways of married men who like to cheat on their partners drove the current married applicant back to his train, refusing to go further. And cried. A client with abandonment issues merged with a non-committer to feel abandoned yet again. And cried. A client fighting a protracted legal battle got snared in a mini legal battle she hadn’t foreseen. And panicked. A person who typically verbally blasts others in a nasty manner got verbally blasted when she least expected it and was silenced. A friend who simply doesn’t follow any one’s rules, grabbed three shrimp instead of one at a cocktail party, swallowed and choked on the shrimp. He thought he was going to die and vomited. You get the idea.
The short sheeting by the universe catches you up short. You get stopped doing the behavior that you are used to doing without thinking. You get interrupted in process. Or you manage to go through the process to be disappointed once again.
When some one says to you “What were you thinking?”, you can honestly say “I wasn’t thinking.” You weren’t thinking. Or you were trapped. Or perhaps you had gone and raptured yourself in the moment which caused you to get snared again. It was (and is) an habitual, old behavior. And it is time to put that habitual old behavior down and stop it now.
Ah the universe. It does want us to grow and evolve. We can do it the easy or the hard way. Choose the easy way this week. Own your behavior and vow to go forth and sin no more….
