“Empathy has no script. There’s no wrong way or right way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, witholding judgment, emotionally connecting and communicating that incredibly healing message of, ‘you’re not alone.’ Brene Brown
We just passed the midpoint between the two Eclipses -the Lunar Eclipse on the 7th and the Solar Eclipse on Sunday the 21st. The time between eclipses can feel a bit unsteady at times and it’s best to keep a balanced perspective and stay focused in the present.
There can be more personal vulnerability this week as Chiron is strong in the sky – opposing Mars. Feelings can be more easily hurt and boundaries may feel taxed. It’s best -in general his week -to keep focused on the matters at hand. A little levity can go a long way.
On the 17th Mercury moves up to an opposition to Saturn. This can be a more serious time for thought and speech. In the old texts Saturn was correlated with melancholy. It’s wise to keep a balanced perspective.
It’s a good week to check and recheck information with Mercury opposite Neptune as there can be clouded communications or the misrepresentation of information.
Venus is moving up to a square to Uranus. Under this influence impatience and irritability may arise more easily.
The Solar Eclipse is on Sunday the 21 at 29 degrees of Virgo. The Sun will be opposing Saturn at this time. It is a good time to start something new -but best to keep in mind with Saturn’s influence that patience will go a long way in the process.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Through imagination a lost opportunity is regained.”
