To get straight to the point, this week has been tough! No other way to put it.
I am still a bit stressed about the new workplace, been having headaches because of the paint fumes and something else perhaps in the building, not sure I just feel bad (physically) when I am there, and fine when I am not at the office. I hope it is just the paint fumes, as they will be gone (I hope) in the next few weeks. Also the flexible desk working is not helping my posture as I have severe pain in my shoulder. A reminder to work less and lighten up and of course invest time in setting the desk and chair to my correct measurements. I know this pain from the past as it has been inflamed before and it hurst like Hell. I feel very restricted in movement and the constant pain is wearing me down (also don’t sleep well). I know I shouldn’t be typing this as it hurts, so I am keeping this brief.
A big shock this week was the sudden passing of my uncle. He wasn’t ill, there was nothing wrong, and now he is gone. He was such a sweet and kind man, so full of life and I loved him dearly. I feel very sad, especially for his sons as I can relate to how they must feel (having lost my parents and stepfather) and his wife of 50 years. They just celebrated their anniversary, I can’t even begin to imagine her pain. And his grandchildren who he loved so much will miss him dearly. They are without a grandfather so young. So sad.
So this week has been painful. The endless rain isn’t helping much. And once again – as above, so below – the planets mirror this energy as from the on October 8, Venus entered Scorpio, where she let go of all frills and pretense. This is raw reality. Also Mars, in Libra, was weakened by the opposition with Chiron, the Wounded Healer and is burdened by overload and -whelm.
A bright point in my week was my visit to the Goddess Temple (see the blogpost here) and tour of the exhibition “Kabbalah & Alchemy” at the Embassy of the Free Mind. For pictures please see here:
The Full Moon tomorrow, October 13th highlights the axis Aries-Libra and is squaring Pluto. Some of us may be tempted to claim power and if so conflicts are unavoidable. Beware of victim mentality, because inadequate compromises can have unforeseen long-term consequences. Show fearlessly your strength, but also your weaknesses. This strong energy can also be used during this period for a thorough, personal purification process.
So needed at this time (well for me anyways) this Moon will amplify our lust for life and pleasure, enjoy this moon’s fire boost, but beware of the tendency of competition and conflict. Mind your impulsiveness. Think before you act or speak.
This fire Moon is a great time for activity, perfect for working on your dream project or for indulging in physical activity. This is a time of great perseverance, use it wisely. Take time to contemplate where to channel this energy.
Wishing you a fruitful Full Moon and requesting your energetic support to my family in this sad time of loss and farewell. Thank you.
