“…Darkness is not a force, but merely an absence of light. In the same way, hatred really is only an absence of love. We have found throughout humankind that hating hatred just simply does not work, any more than being angry will make a darkened room illuminate. When we stumble in the dark, nothing will illuminate our path but the power of the Light. When we come across hatred from others, our only recourse is to inject love…”
– Karen Berg on the week of Vayishlach
This week, the Moon teaches us a great lesson. As the Moon shifts signs every 2.5-3 days, we will first witness it in the sign of Aries (the first few days of the week), and then it moves into Taurus (in the second part of the week). While the Moon is in Aries, it passes through Chiron (also in Aries). This cosmic connection between the two (Chiron and the Moon in Aries) will be a great tool to help us heal any negative emotions about ourselves. Here is a powerful opportunity to awaken self-love and self-confidence.
Since the Moon also connects us to our past, we have a great opportunity to revisit our past and uproot all the negative self-talk, self-hate, and self-judgment we may have developed in our childhoods, or even as far back as our previous lifetimes.
The Moon then progresses into the sign of Taurus. First of all, it's important to mention that Taurus is one of the Moon’s favorite signs to reside in. Taurus awakens the energy of balance and stability. The fluctuating, constantly moody energy of the Moon always craves this strength, balance, and security that the sign of Taurus provides.
But there is a catch… While the Moon resides in this “comfortable” sign (Taurus), it also passes the planet Uranus (also in Taurus). Uranus is all about change and unexpected energy.
Uranus always brings unpredictable energy and strives to rock the boat, almost forcing changes to occur! This time will test our certainty and our emotions. Instead of resisting this force of change or unpredictable energy, try to flow with it, ride with the wave, go with the flow, and trust that there is a safe shore on the other side!
Let’s all take advantage of this powerful Moon energy this week and awaken the energy of love everywhere we go.
