Thoughts on Power: repost

Never Mistake aggression for Power;

One that is Rooted Firmly Within

will Never be Broken by outside force

nor should fear those that Feign a power

they neither understand nor embody.

Point of Choice: Aquarius Full Moon 8.03.2020

The Aquarius Full Moon occurs at 12:00PM EDT on August 3rd, 2020 @ 12º Aquarius/Leo.

Specifics of note: The lunation is just separating from a square to Uranus in Taurus; the void of the T-Square formed is in Scorpio. Saturn & Uranus are rulers of the Moon, Sun is in it’s own Sign. Rulers of Scorpio, Mars and Pluto, are applying square with involvement from Jupiter and Saturn. Much more going on but that is suitable to note for my jumping off point.

Personal Note: I was meditating upon this lunation and when the inspiration fully realized it came forth in a torrent on Twitter. I am posting the entirety of that stream here without edit so please note that it’s original formatting was “tweets”.  I am quite busy, as are we all, and I need to economize my time but wanted to address the full moon. Hoping the post is easily digestible. Be Well!

I was neither born into, nor raised within, an environment of stability or kindness. I had no positive authority figures, no leaders I could trust. To survive I had to acknowledge that those that were “charged” with my well-being had no intentions of fulfilling their duties.

To survive I had to see that my abusive authority figures never had any intention of fulfilling any of their promises to me. I learned that it was never really about who I was or wasn’t, what I did or didn’t do, what I said or didn’t say.

I learned that to continue to have expectations of individuals that are abusive to you is welcoming more abuse. Expecting such people to change is a waste of time. They may or they may not. When you’re life is in the balance I suggest not playing the odds on that one.

Accepting Loss as Gain

Paraphrasing Florence Scovel Shinn on the subject of loss:

We can only lose that which is not ours by Divine Right or that which is not good enough for us. 

Bless what and whom leaves your life knowing that you shall receive equal, or better, in return.

Thank you Florence! ♥

Be Well!
