drama & planetary transits: yr not crazy...
by now i figure we know each other well enough...
for you to know that time and time again my taste for the unsavory hedonistic things in life gets me in a little bit of trouble. this has been one of those weeks. what the fuck huh? when it rains it pours? well, in my constant search to validate my own emotional sanity and proximity to a somewhat material collective sort of reality. i decided to look up some astrological transits and who would have thunk? i did...
the breakdown...
get ready to put yr emotions thru the motherfucking ringer, are you ready? yr personal relationships are gonna be in an intergalactic clusterfuck with a full Moon and two planets shifting signs. we start out the week with a strong full moon in aries on the 26th. the all-is-fair libra sun is battling with the take-no-prisoners aries full Moon, making for a week with few dulls moments, enjoy it, i know i am already. yr greatest defense from the great goddess of drama? keep your inner-self balanced, i'm personally gonna try and go to a bunch of meetings with zari and try to gain some serenity in the wake of things, i'm sure it'll at least take off some of the edge.
full moons usually evoke images of werewolves, but wednesday's harvest moon** in aries is ruled by the power of the ram and everybody knows that mars=aries=ram=horns and that energy will indeed rear its head, you know. youve probably laid one of us or are one of us, we get around. expect rash emotional/angry reactions, stubborness, ego battles. yea, i know, ugly. so shake your bones under the moonlight with yr knowing that the turbulent dance between refined libra and brash aries this week will bring relationship issues to the forefront. dodge potential drama by cutting straight to the chase...
here's an article i read about radical honesty the other day that was actually surprisingly good despite the fact it was written by a total man -- http://www.esquire.com/print-this/honesty0707?x
**The Harvest Moon is the full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox, which occurs (in the northern hemisphere) on or about September 23rd, and in the southern hemisphere on or about March 21st. Its physical characteristics - rising time, path across the sky - are similar to those of the Hunter's moon.
All full moons have their own special characteristics, based primarily on the whereabouts of the ecliptic in the sky at the time of year that these moons are visible. The full moons of September, October and November as seen from the northern hemisphere - which correspond to the full moons of March, April and May as seen from the southern hemisphere - are well known in the folklore of the sky. All full moons rise around the time of sunset. However, although in general the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, as it moves in orbit around Earth, the Harvest Moon and Hunter's Moon are special, because around the time of these full moons, the time difference between moonrise on successive evenings is shorter than usual. In other words, the moon rises approximately 30 minutes later, from one night to the next, as seen from about 40 degrees N. or S. latitude, for several evenings around the full Hunter's or Harvest Moons. Thus there is no long period of darkness between sunset and moonrise around the time following these full moons. In times past this feature of these autumn moons was said to help farmers working to bring in their crops (or, in the case of the Hunter's Moon, hunters tracking their prey). They could continue being productive by moonlight even after the sun had set. Hence the name Harvest (or Hunter's) Moon.
The Harvest Moon is also known as the Wine Moon, the Singing Moon and the Elk Call Moon. In myth and folklore the full moon of each month is given a name. There are many variations but the following list gives the most widely known names:
January - Wolf moon
February - Ice moon
March - Storm moon
April - Growing moon
May - Hare moon
June - Mead moon
July - Hay moon
August - Corn moon
September - Harvest moon
October - Hunter's moon
November - Snow moon
December - Winter moon
