Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Hey bitch, heyyyyy. How was that Taurus Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse for you? Hmpf. It was pretty rough over here. Even as early as Sunday the 14th, I was cranky, emotional, exhausted, burned out and just generally grumpy. As seems to be the pattern now, I got a migraine a couple days before the Full Moon. The day of the eclipse was a shit show for our family, for several unrelated reasons. We really got side swiped and that “Surprise!” Uranus crap did its job. But by Friday we were motivated and back to kicking ass. The crazy thing about the migraine is that none of my regular meds (even my prescription migraine meds) or “cures” helped, but I swear on my hair, as soon as the moon moved into Gemini (early morning), and out of the eclipse zone, it went away. Hold on, I gotta Google something… (hold music) Yeah, so...Taurus is in my 12th house and sho nuff, it is sometimes related to headaches, as are eclipses. So interesting. And annoying. Aaaanyway, this week is better than last we...

I feel like there's a lot of shadow energy afoot this week. Your dark side needs some air. Your wounds need healing.  You may find you feel pissy, resentful about how you've been wronged in the past.  You of course have to ya know...not go to jail. But give your feelings a voice.  Better yet, let that shit go under the Full Taurus Moon with a nice fire ceremony.  The big news is of course. the partial Lunar eclipse in Taurus. This eclipse starts a new cycle of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio. This is a super juiced Full Moon, and as such is a time of deep releases and revelations about self worth. Our physical bodies are emphasized, as is our need for security. This full moon aspects Jupiter and Venus, really doubling down on the concept of what we feel we are worth. Things that are not in alignment with that will be shown the door. We need to be light on our feet, as Uranus is also active during this eclipse. All eclipses are realignments and course corrections....

There’s quite a lot going on this week in terms of transits. So to get the big picture I brainstormed some key words to sort of tell a story. Compassion, disappointment, aggressive, alone, frustrated, family is needy, overwhelmed, desire to be understood, overprotective, confident, overcompensating, triggered, anxious, awkward, ignored, proud, supported. You can see how this week almost plays out like a theater production in 5 acts and comes full circle: introduction/exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, dénouement/resolution. The energy sort of peaks around Wednesday and Thursday and then starts to settle down a bit.  I would say that the resolution this week lies in “Saturn trine Ceres” on the 14th and “Venus sextile Pallas” on the 15th. Mercury is very active this week, so communication is emphasized. Be very conscious of your words, and that you understand other people’s words. Ceres makes 6 transits this week, emphasizing care for others. There are 7 quincunxes ...
