With the sun in Libra, and an Aquarius moon – you might be feeling more detached and concerned about humanity as I am. My moon is in Libra so I definitely desire balance, justice, harmony and beauty for all beings. But the shadow side of Libra moon is feeling indecisive and helpless about what’s going on in this world. Since my moon is in the 8th house I am also thinking about death, as people are always dying whether we are aware of it or not. And that’s what I’m feeling while typing this at work.
There are also the bigger transits that affect the collective as a whole, such as Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto is the planet of transformation, death, destruction, the desire for obsession and control. When it is in Aquarius (humanitarian, rebel, technology) – you can correlate this to current events on our planet, particularly in the United States and France, right?
It also feels selfish of me to focus on bringing this site back up and attempting to sell whatever crystals and stones I have left from when I started this small business in 2017. If you read my bio, I was inspired to start this crystal shop. I was naive to think it would replace my 9 to 5. It didn’t. I made money selling crystals but I also had expenses. I also had a friend pass away in 2019. I also had bots attack my site in 2020.
The reality is – our current administration has made everything expensive. Basic needs such as food and gas are pricey. So people aren’t buying things as much. Crystals and stones are not a need, they are a want.
So like Pluto, people who are selling things online must transform what they’re offering at a time where people don’t have as much resources for art, entertainment, spiritual growth and development.
You know what I’ve observed that people are really into right now? Astrology.
Although astrology is considered a pseudoscience – using the stars and planets that were present at the time of your birth – is really a study of yourself and your relationships with people over time (synastry).
And for as long as we are alive, we are going to be dealing with ourselves AND people. People young and old are using astrology to understand themselves, to understand relationships and to understand what’s going on in our world.
And so I hope to write more about astrology on here and how I am learning it from my perspective.
But the biggest truth is? I’m still forever learning.
For half my life (I’m 49 years old now) I only focused on my sun sign (Sagittarius). It was not until my late 30’s that I started to pay attention to my big 3 (sun, moon, rising) and not until I hit my 40’s that I barely scratched the surface of learning astrology.
So yes, I have A LOT to write about.
And I hope you will join me. My Mercury is in Capricorn by the way so the way I write about astrology is more practical and clear, I hope.
