Scorpio/Sagittarius Gibbous Moon
—May 25

The energies of today (and yesterday) may not be so much about change for change-sake… but rather: choosing to take the risk of truly living, and therefore experiencing, Life itself as it’s meant to be—for you.

Inner motivations are likely feeling a bit more charged, more driven, more… motivated. In fact, today’s energies are inspiring opportunities for which “you will have to muster intuitive faith and overcome any fears in order to truly enter these new realms…”

New potentials, opportunities, and possibilities are before you… and both Life itself and your own reality is shifting; as Rainer Maria Rilke put it: who’s not sat tense before his own heart’s curtain?

One perspective of these energies suggests that “these can be felt on the physical level, on the more mystical planes, or in a sexual way… pulling back the curtain to reveal what needs to be shown will lead to answers to this question…” this question being, of course, what exactly is the sacred pathway (for you), and (where) is it leading you?

Further, through this process of pathway, “you may find yourself having a transformative realization that will take your focus away from your more basic animal instincts to a more spiritual level of perception—your vital energies may remain constant, but the way in which these respond to the environment can change considerably… life takes on a different purpose and new and more liberating ways of acting in the world become available.”

More intensely, magical or manic manifestations alike could occur within your reality, or within the collective, should you need a ‘wake-up call’, for “those of you who are not paying attention to your needs, wants, or desires…”

Later in the day, from this precious place of a particular pause, the moon moves from the darkness of Scorpio into the new day visions of Sagittarius… and “whether your situation contains difficult components, or whipped up and excited ones, the truth of the matter is that the foundations of your life are much more settled and the surface emotional distress is probably just misleading matters… staying anchored to what is true, permanent and stable in your life can help you get through whatever has been churned up.”

But these notions and motions must be navigated, nevertheless…

Finally, and more or less ultimately—the first eclipse of the year is tomorrow… this entire week is largely hit or miss upon the actual manifestations emerging or the more secured or permanent actualities ending for you within your reality… or within your subconscious, at the very least.

❝Oh, there’s a lot of opportunities—if you know when to take them…
You know there’s a lot of opportunities—if there aren’t, you can make them…
(Make or break them)
I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks—let’s make lots of money…❞
——The Pet Shop Boys; lyrics to “Opportunities”
