The Lesson - Clarity

 

 

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). ‘The Lady of Shalott’. 1888.

 

 

 

The Lesson is Clarity: The Fool is learning to deal with hidden forces and lack of clarity. She encounters moodiness, cycles, illusion, basic instincts and repressed contents of her unconscious mind. She is having a hard time seeing things clearly and her imagination, fearfully, keeps getting in the way of things.

 

 

The Moon coincides with the zodiac sign of Pisces, which governs the feet (both, but especially the left), lymph glands, kidney, bladder and mental state. The Moon is associated with the feminine cycle and menstrual issues. This cycle will pass within 28 days and things will become clearer.

 

 

 

Number Association: 18, 9  (18 = 1 + 8 = 9)

 

Physical Body Associations: The feminine cycle (28 days), feet (especially the left), lymph glands, kidney, bladder and mental state.

 

 

 

 

Upright Moon’s Energy Wellness Advice

 

The Moon can warn of deceits, lies, dangers, perils and self-deception. You may not be thinking clearly. What looks good by night does not fly by day. The Moon represents being disoriented.

 

Something in your subconscious is trying to surface. Perhaps secrets, forgotten memories or repressed longings. You may be trying to overcome uncomfortable fears.

 

You may have the feeling that you are running out of time over some issue.

 

It is possible you are feeling like a victim of sorts and quite moody. Moonlight provides the opportunity for mistakes. Illusions can prevail. Imagination can run wild.

 

Latent psychic abilities and occult forces are currently in operation and at your disposal, but if you fail to use them, or misuse them at all, you may be led astray.

 

The Moon tunes into the spiritual vibrations of others. Use your ability to read others spiritually, as there could be hidden enemies lurking in the dark.

 

You may be longing for something you cannot have, at least not yet, if ever.

 

Lunar powers may bring you very emotional dreams or nightmares that may actually have the power to influence your waking life. This can either frighten you and leave you confused or comfort you.

 

A mother figure may suddenly become more prominent in your affairs.

 

There may be travel over or around water.

 

 

 

 

 

Reversed Moon’s Energy Wellness Advice

 

In a positive way the reversed Moon may mean that you are starting to see things as they really are and becoming truthful with yourself.

 

You are no longer going to permit enemies, either other people or your own internal voices, cloud your judgment.

 

 

On a negative note, reversed Moon could signal deeper denial on some level of consciousness. Is there something that you are avoiding or not being honest with yourself about?

 

Is someone being hyperactive? Hyperactivity is a defense mechanism and leads down a path to depression.

 

Suppressed intuition can cause a host of negative emotions that can affect your health. It may be time to have a heart to heart with yourself.

 

This may be a warning to stay away from bodies of water and trips over or around water for the next 28 days.

 

 

 

 

The Captains Lady's Energy Wellness Recommendations

 

Being scattered, forgetful and nervous is a sign of stress, particularly of lack of sleep and inactivity. Hold off on making any major decisions until this cycle passes.

 

If you are having trouble sleeping, read about 'Sleep Disorders' and ways of improving the quality of your rest. If you are being too inactive, get up and do something. You could be 'all mind' and 'no body' lately. Move your body to get rid of some of that toxic energy. To get moving and be creative at the same time, I recommend visiting 'Claiming Radiance!' for ways to improve your physical and environmental energies. 

 

Indulge in water therapies! You might want to stay away from bodies of water, but you can still sip on 'Lunar' or 'Stellar' Water, take a bath in lavender oil (maybe scrub with a sea sponge just to shake things up!). For that yummy body soak, visit 'Energy Wellness Recipes!'.

 

How's your appetite? The Moon can send us into weird cravings and habits. Foods can help our bodies and minds to deal with stress! Visit "Eating, Naturally!" for a list of best foods in all the world!

 

What kinds of things are you telling yourself? Are you letting your imagination run away with you and creating worst case scenarios? Having trouble rolling with the punches? Visit 'Dealing With Negativity' and start being your own best friend. Take yourself by the hand and practice positive thinking. I know, I know. It isn't easy, especially when you are confused, but if you can think of one positive thing to tell yourself everyday, you'll be back on the right track!
