Cancer Crescent Moon
—May 6

Sensitive feelings continue to throb and percolate within territories of both privilege and plentitude, and could begin to peak upon particulars of positivity…

However, decisions need to be made.

Today the energies concentrate more on the essence of plenty and plentitudes alike, as these both require will to exist—a personal will that is either bound in positivity, or bound by negativity… either way, this is what astrologer Dane Rudhyar referred to as a ‘mantle of power’ as its grace is integrated through both spiritual forces and one’s “positive imagination in facing life problems…” and it is also through personal will that decisions are determined and initiated.

Either way, today is a day for you to accept your personal responsibilities and personal authority, to give it away to an/Other, or, when abused or misused, one’s authority, control or responsibility can be taken or removed.

Ultimately, these ‘gifts’ of responsibility, control, and authority—and essentially, power—are to be embraced…

Still. You may feel as though you are being somewhat pressed into a decision… “the elements of your judgement are likely to be, in many ways, very similar—the choices are confusing because they essentially lead to the same result; the situation is probably brand new—it may be that the answer lies in taking all intuitive guess, or perhaps you need to wait for more information for the solutions to become more clear cut…”

A matter that could be presenting an obstacle may lie within the concepts of reality, and the concepts of ideals.

Are you considering the issue from the best perspective?

It is time to honestly look over the pros and cons of your circumstances… as well as the realistic alternatives.

You may actually need to stand up for your personal ideals or goals… though, this may feel somewhat radical—or perhaps is, inherently, radical… the more bound you are by social conditioning, the more radical it may feel, whether it really is or not.

Are your ideals or goals worth fighting for?—standing up for?

Finally, there is an enormousness of compassion occurring now, underneath it all, especially toward your own ideals—now is the time to become something entirely new, fresh, revived, or reborn.

❝To be radical is to grasp things by the root.❞
——Karl Marx
