Hunting for Europa

"Avoidance of conflict becomes a habit, and you lose the taste for battle. Feeling guilty is pointless; it is not your fault you have enemies."

-Robert Greene

So, the Hunter's Full Moon portal is now open until the approximately the 20th, with the actual full moon happening on the 17th in ambitious Aries.  The motivation and courage to move forward will get sparked during this time, thanks to this sign.  Also, in characteristic Aries fashion, this one will be a Supermoon.  It's as if there is a sudden burst in energy that calls forth our very best!  

Also, Venus is entering optimistic Sagittarius.  This could increase positivity in all types of relationships, whether romantic or platonic.  Having difficult yet candid conversations is key, while maintaining that balance of diplomacy, drawing power from the Libra season.  If we are a fire sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), we must take extra care to navigate through this highly energetic period to optimize our results.

Now, I do want to mention the Robert Greene quote that I have at the start of this blog entry.  Yes, handle hard topics with others, but do so with as much grace as possible; especially if we are possibly in the wrong.  

In this case, we'll be the adult here, and admit fault with a sincere apology.  This is what I believe he is referring to.  I doubt he alludes to engaging in conflict just for the mere sake of not avoiding it.  Bottom line, it is required, regardless of the situation, to always "read the room".  Sometimes, it could be tactful to practice the art of silence, where speaking will only prove to escalate the situation.  Remaining silent at the appropriate time, can say much more than anything we could ever utter.

Thank you and good night.

New Month, New Moon

"If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement."

-Jimmy Carter

The new month of October has already been greeted by the first former US President to reach the coveted age of 100!  While he's been heavily criticized by his opponents, many will still agree that he has added value to the world as a humanitarian, particularly post-presidency.  

On October 2nd, we will experience the New Moon in diplomatic Libra; along with the couple days leading up to it, as well as a couple of days after.  This is known as a portal, and it is currently open.  It is crucial to invest in self-care during this time.  Spend time in nature, and rest when needed.  If we've been feeling a bit fatigue lately, it is perfectly normal.  Also, learning to say "no" to requests obligating ourselves is vital to protect our energies, when necessary.

Thank you and good night.
