Weekly Skylights for July 14-20, 2019: Diamond Wolf in the Rough

Isolated Fragments

Its a busy week for both Luna and Pluto, an extensive venturing into the underworld for an emotional or spiritual renewal, but what trials await us in the depths of the collective psyche? Identifiable to the wolf shape-shifting, the emergence of instinct and powerful primal energy. As the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon this eclipse, thwarting emotional function and creating an err of silent ambiance. Unsure of the shifting tide, you must stay grounded. …Forget emotions, its about survival skills.

As I gaze upon the planetary configurations for the week I see the essence of Bohemian Gothic Tarot in my mind. Shadowy, powerful, potent, and honest. Navigation by moonlight. Hauntingly beautiful. Trepidation with each step but magnetically pulls you to uncover an rare isolated essence of yourself. Pick up the shadow fragments and find your way through the maze that is you.

Battle Royale: Sun Opposed Pluto Rx

Sunday, July 14th: The Sun shines a lights by communicating it; chatter in the air, noise all around, communication, messages, notifications, everyone wants to be heard. When were are all talking over each other, what happens? The philosopher in you may decide to take a step back, to return to your power, and attempt to turn off the lights of incessant babbling. In fact, you may feel called to take a step back and assess how you are expending your energy. This is a case of how much of my own energy should I give versus how much energy do I draw in towards myself? This is the dynamic tension of showing grace and saving face. The greatest showman to the remote recluse. This is a battle royale of distinguishing the light of conversation from the depths of the teachings. The breakdown of the self you always show people versus the repressed you that is the truth.

Luminous Silhouettes

Tuesday, July 16th: The emotional body connects with the deep body, with the Moon conjunction to Pluto Rx in Sagittarius. There is an innate sense of magnetism to seek and to proceed into the trenches that are hidden. Where can we find the buried treasure, the sacred fruit that has been hidden?

What is it that you cherish, nurture, and find beauty in? Where has the pressure build up for you to put up boundaries and limits? Your discussions of what you love and seeking to handling your responsibilities tug at each other, with Venus in Gemini opposed Saturn Rx in Sagittarius. What you say in beauty and what is perceived in restriction and boundaries will be at odds.

This Full Moon lands at 29ยฐ Sagittarius, while trudging through the murkiness will be beneficial and that the wisdom of your past experiences will come to fruition and nurture your emotional needs. Remember things are not always what they seem, pay attention to the finer details or things others cant see. When things don’t seem right they usually aren’t trust your instinct. Don’t fall for superficial appearances. Ground yourself and acknowledge where your emotional intelligence will have an opportunity for growth. What are the triggers and where are the solutions?

The Full Moon starts at the toes of the partial Lunar Eclipse beginning at 24ยฐ Capricorn. With a conjunction triggering to both Saturn Rx and Pluto Rx. There may be a need to go underground and get away from societal pressures. Through this contemplative trek you may feel disenchanted but don’t stop. Peace needs to be made from the point of origin, acknowledge restrictions that beseech you. Make peace with the trajectory. Know your limitations, know your boundaries, and ground yourself in that truth. The truth can be cold and harsh, but itโ€™s emotionally relieving, liberating, and magnetizing. Trust your instincts and handle your business so you can retrieve your innate magnetism. Tether to the Earth, shift into true form, and howl at the Moon.

Decompressing Waters

Thursday July 18th: In an auspicious note after the Lunar Eclipse passes there will be a sense of relief with Moon sextile Jupiter Rx. But that relief comes from sitting still, meditating with quiet vibrations, and facing penetrating truths. A time to get your life philosophies in order. Allow yourself to be wholly you while managing the necessary.

There may be an over compensation of conversation concerning the things that you love cherish and enjoy the most to your friends or community because there is an air of idealism with Venus trine Neptune Rx. Check that what youโ€™re discussing bears truth as your own delusions may make it more difficult for you to navigate. Beware of speaking tall tales and overindulgence, on any level.

The pressure shifts from intellect to emotion as the Sun ingresses into the sign of Cancer. A light shines on domestic life, a sense of nurturing, comfort, intuition, and some time to decompress. It is a relief as we know Mercury is currently in retrograde. So find your favorite book, your favorite comfort food, your favorite fuzzy pajamas, and venture into your underwater cave of mysteries. Perhaps a spiritual bath is in order, submerge in order to heal and regain some strength. The treasure is within.

Renewed Knowledge of Self

Saturday, July 20th: And now we find the beauty and the cherished treasure from the power dynamics of the shape-shifting journey with Venus opposed Pluto Rx. The wisdom of the recluse becomes a story that you share. A deconstruction of the old and a rebirth of the new. A story filled with wisdom, intrigue, and interest; of all that you know as prevalent in your life experiences. Feel the renewed sense of power, purpose, and growth. It is that profound truth which you now stand in and knowledge of self is what you’ve earned.

Bohemian Gothic Tarot by Baba Studios

Consciousness

The Nine of Swords tells us what we already know and may not have been able to face. What is it that keeps rearing is head in the light of you trying to live your best life? These are the things that we need to face and deal with. You cannot wish it away, but I will tell you a secret you have the power to will it away, but you have to do the work.

Subconsciouness

The Hermit tells us what is underneath and needs to be brought to surface. It tells of a moment of truth by shining your lantern on the issues at hand. The insight you carry will help you navigate on the path of self-enlightenment. It is a lonely road but it is not without its rewards. Cloak yourself and take the trek that may ultimately lead to resolution.

Advice

The Ten of Wands tells us advice to navigating this week. While, yes, the pressure is on, the universe doesn’t give you more that you can handle. Even though it might seem far, you are so very close to your goal. Carry all things unnecessary to the garbage and alleviate yourself of self-imposed dead-weight. Shadows are only scary when we choose not to look at subject blocking the light source. When the spirit feels heavy so does everything else. Lighten your load and step into the next era of the journey.

Have a transformative week! Peace and Blessings. ~Nya

Weekly Skylights for July 7 – 13, 2019: The Seeker Within, The Journey Without

Sunday, July 7th: Mercury Stations Retrograde

Beginning this week is our need to rethink, relearn, reestablish how we communicate our intuitions, feelings, attachments, and compassion with Mercury stationing retrograde at 9ยฐ Cancer. Thoughts and feelings are one in the same, if there is a struggle, then this is an opportunity to break new ground. Mars makes a presence this Mercury station. So, I feel like there are themes of breaking conventional conditioning that no longer serves you; separating unconventional idealistic perspectives from achievable personal aspirations.

This may be a good time for personal philosohpical studies and establishing a focused personal practice of your liking.. as long as you feel called to do so.

As my beautiful friend Nikki Moore from School of Divination said, “Planets Aren’t Puppeteers“. While it is easy to assume because Mercury is in retrograde that it is affecting us, it doesn’t mean that we are powerless. In such a state that everyone talks about power of attraction, free will, and we are the creators of our destiny, etc, etc– are the same ones that sure seems to place a lot of emphasis on retrograde planets getting the better of them. This is fatalism at its finest.

Stop for a minute, and listen to the power of your words, for they give thoughts life and thus create the reality. The phrase goes, “The macrocosm ‘is like‘ the microcosm”. Not, “The macrocosm ‘causes‘ the microcosm”.

The universe shows us patterns, be it astrology, card divination, divination by the actions of animals or whatever tickles your fancy. So what patterns in your thought processes you would like to shift and change? Where do you ‘believe’ you have been held back? What bothers you internally? And where can you take your power back?

Monday, July 8th, Venus Square Chiron, Chiron Station Retrograde

While we would all love to save the world in our own way, the best place we can start is with our immediate sphere of space. How can we co-create an ideal personal situation? Journal, write, speak, communicate about your wounds. We would all love to be ‘perfect’ without a scratch or a scar. But scars and wounds are part of the makeup that provides your unique wisdom. You would be surprised who you can heal from the stories of your own sufferings. This take bravery and compassion of the highest caliber.

As Chiron stations 10 degree of Pisces, the wounds to be addressed are emotional, spiritual, even ancestral. What have you wished for in terms of healing? What work have you put in towards that end? The sabian symbol for 10 degrees Pisces per Dane Rudhyar is, โ€œAN AVIATOR PURSUES HIS JOURNEY, FLYING THROUGH GROUND- OBSCURING CLOUDSโ€.

We have to transcend the ego-self and natural physical limitations of reality, in order to develop in the astral-mental-ethereal realms. Here borns the innovative healer and mastery of the self and healing arts. Dreams will most likely be potent this week, pay attention to the symbols. They may seem strange and grotesque but see what wisdom finds you there and apply it to the waking world.

Tuesday, July 9th: Sun Opposed Saturn

The Sun shines a light on house of other’s resources, communication and exchange with others about their values, their deep experiences, and resources may pose tension between your own sense of values. Saturn is asking us to be responsible and set boundaries for your personal resources, be it energy exchange, personal finance, or a sense of worthiness. You want to be available for others but not at the expense of yourself. Try to strike a balance on the themes of give and take.

Wednesday, July 10th – Friday, July 12th: Mars Square Uranus, Mars Trine Chiron

Mars seeks to assert himself, separate, divide, and break down things. It seems the unique work ideas your have implemented may need to be reassessed. Maybe there are too many things happening right now, cut it down, and simplify. Determine what is working and what isn’t, remove the unnecessary from implementation, put them back in the bucket of ideas to revisit at a different time. This will only serve to help you focus on what you can master and pioneer at this time. How you assert yourself may break new ground.

Saturday, July 13th: Sun Opposes Pluto

The exclamation mark at the end of the week is, “transformation abound” Again, the pattern emerges of the underground search for self actualization and shining a light for others. Transformation doesn’t have to be a pain in the ass either. If you can be honest with yourself, you can navigate the inner work with the outer work. Albeit, a bit finicky, but very doable. Change starts with one small step. Dig deep this week and a lotus will bloom on the surface.


Tarot Divination: What do we need to know the most this week?

Deck: Trionfi Della Luna Paradoxical Classic by Patrick Valenza

Seven of cups suggests there may be a sense of stuckness or decision fission occurring that may cause you to pause. The options are overwhelming. What part of the self, do we even want to address at this time? We internally carry all the fragments which is the make-up of who we are. Start with the easiest aspect or start with the most difficult, the choice is yours, but make one. The secret is– the other options will still be there to explore when you get back. After all this is what is within.

Three of wands tells us the beginning of a journey starts with one step and one decision. The beginning of integration, the desire for progress. So make a choice and go on the journey. The journey doesn’t have to be long, but practicing your processes for journeying will assist in making progress. It gets easier with time.

The Page of wands, is the messenger, the student of the pursuit of desire and conquest. We don’t have to be a master to make an impression. We are all students of life that need to find the creative outlet, which will allow us to find the peak of experience where we need to flower. Do not be afraid of not having all the answers, do not be afraid of the journey, find comfort in the search for the expansion of your true inner self. Take time to seek the light within the deep Self. Grow, expand, and be blessed. Peace.
