Astrology for Friday, 10 April 2020:

Today the Moon in Scorpio makes sextiles to Pluto and Jupiter in Capricorn. The internal work with your own emotional life that will cultivate more coherence and integrity may become unavoidable. Holding our shames and fears with firm generosity has the potential to give us access to potent powers buried beneath those feelings that we often avoid or keep hidden. As the Moon then makes a trine to Mercury in Pisces, we may be called to give voice to the inner experiences we are navigating. Brené Brown writes, “Shame derives its power from being unspeakable … If we cultivate enough awareness about shame to name it and speak to it, we’ve basically cut it off at the knees. Shame hates having words wrapped around it. If we speak shame, it begins to wither.” As you encounter your own difficult feelings that limit your own experiences of coherence and empowerment, how might you give words and voice to these experiences, sharing them in ways that cut off their power to diminish or fragment you? The Moon then ingresses into Sagittarius, a more open, optimistic, and spacious sign. Take a deep breath. Even deeper. Invite that expanse throughout your insides. Although the Moon does not have reception from Jupiter here, simply moving out of the sign of its fall or depression will offer more room for hope and even joy. Finally, the Moon makes a sextile to Saturn in Aquarius. Hope and joy may require discipline, effort even, during these difficult days. Saturn may push us to develop and sustain practices today that will contribute to the worlds we are making in the days ahead.
