Astrology for Monday, 22 June 2020:

6/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Today the Moon makes a conjunction to Mercury retrograde in Cancer. While Mercury’s retrograde may describe difficulties or delays in communication, reception from its ruler the Moon—concentrated in this conjunction—offers resources for settling into a more sensitive felt experience of our bodies and emotional lives. This sensitivity may become more expansive as the Moon makes a trine with Neptune. The more we allow ourselves to feel, the more our sense of self can expand to hold the breadths and depths of what we are feeling. As the Moon then moves through oppositions to Pluto and Jupiter—both retrograde in Capricorn—we may discover that buried within our own bodies are the seeds of both our own oppression as well as our personal and collective experiences of liberation. Audre Lorde writes in “Age, Race, Class, and Sex,” “…the true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations which we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us, and which knows only the oppressors’ tactics, the oppressors’ relationships.” Inasmuch as we are called to look outside of ourselves to critique and dismantle systems of oppression that surround us, we must also be willing to look deeply within ourselves for the pieces of the oppressor that shape our thoughts, actions, and relationships—our internalized racism and sexism and ableism, our deep fears and loathing regarding sexuality and gender, our attachments to colonial tactics and oppressive class systems. As we confront and work to heal these inner oppressors, we find that the sources of our own freedom are held within our bodies as well.
