Libra Disseminating Moon
ॐOracular Mantra—being honestly aware of the matters at hand; mentionability is manageability…
Author and ‘Rune Soup’ podcast host Gordon White has said in one of his episodes that “there is a trauma and cowardice in not looking at [the matter at hand]—you don’t have to fix it but you do have to be aware of it…” and I think that this statement, though I’ve mindfully managed to directly miscontextualize, is quite succinct for today.
Mercury stationed retrograde yesterday at 26° Aquarius, through a degree which associates itself toward “an indication of how deeply technology involves us in small matters, yet matters which in some circumstances could make the difference between life and death…” which, specifically speaking—as this is Mercury, upon a retrograded experience, in Aquarius no less—is somewhat concerning.
And the Libran moon is overcompensating in a compulsively compulsory effort in balance…
❝Somehow, we’ll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.❞
——Brandon Sanderson
Please understand that I bring this to you and your awareness from a place of love, not fear, for the purposes and practices of awareness alone—though these words of guidance through Rudhyar do express a healthy parcel of pause and precaution.
We simply need to look at the matters at hand. Honestly. And directly.
Continued, Rudhyar stresses “the need for ‘management’ therefore is seen to affect every detail of our individual lives; this applies as well to the complexities of interpersonal, social or political relationships, because our modern society is indeed like a huge machine speeding on dangerous ground; safety depends on available power…”
❝‘I can manage it,’ said Frodo, ‘I must.’❞
——J.R.R. Tolkien
Today’s Libran moon may emphasize a bit of our “most authentic emotions… toward the delicacy of feeling…”
However, thankfully—and always celestially conveniently—the moon today opposes Chiron through the sixth degree, a degree also suggesting so strongly toward what Mr Rogers is so fondly remembered by, one of his mighty mantras being ‘what is mentionable is always manageable’, only further emphasizing and supporting the Mercurial matters mentioned above.
Maintaining your equilibrium now would be best. It’s all a balance.
And better yet, beyond an effort of equilibrium—if you can talk about what needs managed, it can be managed—likely so through the cooperation and collaboration of others… however, most fundamentally—be honest with yourself in your own awareness to it, even if you can’t manage to fix it at this point in time.
❝If we don’t manage to connect the dots anymore and the power of our imagination is creaking at the seams, in a world of withering expectations, we have to rewrite the script of our life—into a new life.❞
