THE LIBRA CONFLICT: QUARANTINE ALONE, ZOOM PARTY ORGY WITH MYSELF
Now that we're all radioactively anxious - arms open for the end of the world angels, we must not get handcuffed to the radiator of a fascist void. After six months of an aggressive at-home orgy with ourselves - we continue on, like paper origami folded into a vanishing point - finding even more specific, bizarre shapes within. And sure, more delays, more mistakes, more disasters are built into the iron maiden of this moment, but there’s no way to survive without becoming athletically courageous.
It is possible to perpetually cycle through flight, fight freeze -- and still be a warrior.
and this month it's time to discover our method of combat.
Mars, the heated planet of volition, slowed down to go retrograde Sept 9th just as the west coast fires gained traction. Mars the red planet (turning the skies red) is darting defiantly backwards until Nov 13th - making these next few months a dramatic study on how to handle conflict.
Odd, that conflict should occur during the peace-loving Libra season,
after all, Libra is the balanced sign of the scales. Though, since the Libra archetype has everything to do with our relationship to 'the other', we may find ourselves facing our favorite interpersonal struggle: projection
"Today humanity, as never before, is split between two apparently irreconcilable halves. The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of the inner opposite, the world must act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves." -Carl Jung
How can we fight the good fight, compassionately seeing our enemies brooding within ourselves?
How can we be tactful and not possessed by one-sidedness?
Yes, we must do what it takes to win this election -- but instead of stewing in the fake feeling of empowerment that anger and projection gives us, we can narrow our focus to the outcomes we desire and respond (not react) as an action-oriented force of democracy...with Mercury going retrograde mid-October while Mars (already backwards) makes a number of challenging aspects to Pluto and Saturn — it is imperative we motivate ourselves, each other, the inner other to show up for the future of humanity and VOTE...and if need be, collectively howling at the diminishing moon of democracy - we must continue to apply pressure, stay focused, forever folding irreconcilable halves into more dynamic shapes.
