Sturm Und Drang ~Yet Onward!           July 11-17

 

Have you had a magnificent blow-up? Was your hissy-fit satisfactory? Did you clear the air? Hope your confrontations offered new perspectives, and productive release, with a stronger muscle to move beyond fear. After the Full Moon’s sturm und drang, (storm and stress) this is a nice week to crawl under a Cancer shell of comfort and re-align your plan of action. You may feel like stepping out of the line of fire so that you can think more clearly. With a busy Mercury, ruler of thought, communication, siblings and short trips, ideas move from reality, through creativity and child-like fun, to flounder in a nebulous fog. Don’t fear the fog. Not knowing is a very uncomfortable but creative space.

With Sun and Mars in Cancer’s watery home we work harder to be objective, as Cancer is deeply personal and easily hurt. But Mars moving from those waters has potential to healing commitments, especially for emotional assignments. To challenge the Crab’s nervous anxieties, it’s important that courage be part of the tool box, that boundaries expand to grow more impersonal, and we risk moving outside family, tribal ties, and nationalistic jingoism. (“Bellicose chauvinism.” Use of threats and force instead of mutual relationships to safeguard national interests.)

 The changes and challenges upon us at this time are restructuring future portfolios. We are not only being asked to give up out-moded habits, but to transform them into vehicles of greater service and usefulness. Use Cancer’s intuitive talents to understand the essence of your consciousness, and grapple with your inner life. See and understand the gravitational pull of old wounds,in order to heal and move on! There is work to do, body-wisdom to inhabit. Others need you whole and aligned. Mother Earth is calling for care. We are poised on a tippy precipice, and what we do now tells us where and how our future may manifest.

Your Birthday Week: This may be a year that you grow a strong ‘sensibility of proportion’ which helps you commit to challenges. Sliding out of a power Full Moon, you may feel some of that transformational, Plutonian thrust working its way deep within, where real change happens.Having access to inner worlds, as well as outer is an opportunity to integrate them, to step beyond old boundaries and expand into new space. Remember to balance care of self, with care for others. Do not take on burdens that do not belong to you, or worry about those you love. Worrying about another only says that on some level they are incompetent and you do not trust them to care for themselves.

Astrological consultation:  For July and August birthdays it is particularly timely to look at your life from an objective, non-judgmental point of view. This month is a preparation, a time of soul-questing to discover how and where the BIG August eclipses affect your life. How do you wish to use your inherent genius, and compassionate awareness? How to understand the healing in front of you, and accept present difficulties in order to plan an abundant future.    Email  samcatcam@gmail.com

Your Practice this week:  Continue accessing the Pluto power grid to physically empower the body toward its next level. Focus connecting asana and breath to sensory and emotional awareness through the poses as each one opens the body for new revelations. Regenerate, grow whole, stand as a spiritual warrior. What we call to us on the mat is what we answer to in daily life.
