We harden to protect our soft meat. We harden to protect that which we feel responsible to. Little do we know that the easiest way to fall and hit our heads is always to harden and see the world harden against us.

If we’re always playing the role of parent, how will we ever find our inner joy that emboldens the spirit in a manner that provides the lens with which we can authentically experience that which brings us true happiness. Not the kind that is sold on TV, not even the kind that comes from what is assumed to be a “Job well done”

Too much child-like energy also desires a fair balance through the energy of the mother and the opposing energies of the father and the objective observer which wishes to see a world where all can coexist without fear.

I go into this New Moon seeking to balance out my own Lunar Leo. Too often as of late have I oppressed my own Moon in the mindset that I have indeed overindulged in joy, and owe it to humanity to be wary and vigilant towards the nurturance of those around me in order to bring my social duty back into a manageable state. In being too concerned for the welfare of the public children around me, I have also lost sight of my own projections of perceived dangers which might cause further trauma in an already burning landscape.

The feedback loop created by such emotional responses to threats afar forms an endless loop of increased sensitivity within myself for the other. Reinforced personal boundaries and forgiveness for naive transgressions of the past is creating the gateway to deal with trauma. Lilith, I’m looking at you. Sitting at the back of the universe, feeling all that flows through her, and preparing to reengage with the nexus in order to rewire the ley lines that prepare for the conscious evolution of an animal species which seeks to elevate itself above the current hierarchy of raging instincts and prideful preconceptions.

Enjoy this place that you find yourself in, knowing that you are trying your best to acclimate to a new role in the universe, caring for all who traverse, and wishing the best life possible for a peaceful collaboration.

Just remember. Your first responsibility will always be to yourself. Every neglect of the first cup pours forth a magnified toxin into each vessel which follows suit. In order to purify the waters and provide sweet honey to the hive, enjoy your own flower. This prevents a spiteful spike in the public’s punch bowl.

I love you. I want you to live. For that, the Earthen realm must first flourish. Leo often wants to have its cake at the expense of the earth spirit. Let go of yolo ego if you want anyone else to survive. Don’t be selfish. Those who you care for die a little every time you do. Even though we’re taught self reliance, service to others is a necessary practice of time honored humility. Virgo Season is coming. It’s not all about the stage.
