Gibbous Moon Phase
The next three days are the set-up for Saturday's super-conjunction of the Sun, the Black Moon, and Jupiter. Transits involving the Black Moon are precise and follow the process of the mythical flight of the phoenix: descent, hit, and rise. Between now and Friday we are in the "descent of the phoenix." You may have already been feeling this over the last couple of days. We are weighed down.
It feels like problems, responsibilities, or concerns have been mounting and dragging us down. If you have been shouldering other people's burdens or issues (or "garbage") you are getting to the point where you aren't going to be able to put up with it anymore. The descent of the phoenix phase takes us to our breaking point so that we can break free. This three day period is much like a vision quest. We will gain wisdom and insight about the state of our lives, relationships, and spirits in order to free ourselves from what is holding us back. Remember, on the planetary level, we are participating in a mass or collective "correction" which involves the elimination of that which is not in alignment with our highest and best. This is energetically draining and heavy. It makes us very tired. If you feel like you are falling, you are, but don't worry - it is all part of the process and there is no way to fight it. The best way to handle this is to surrender to it and consciously dive. Recognize that each of us is, in some way, undertaking a vision quest to release a burden. And if you find yourself getting angry or acting out, understand that this is a necessary part of what is happening. The breaking point comes on Saturday, but until then the "fall" will accelerate.
