This lunation initiates a cycle of passion, fueled by a desire for many things but a need to choose one over the others. There is a conflict between our desire and our imagination which hinders our ability to see that which we pursue clearly. Communications and connections may be hidden or obscured amidst a fiery spirit of plunging head-first into action, which further thwart accurate discernment. At the same time, optimism, wisdom and good fortune aid in the decision-making process, urging us to forego well-trodden paths that have proven to lead nowhere.

An ongoing theme of this year impacts our thinking: the restrictions of being stuck between two worlds is in conflict with the impulse to break free and do something different. One manifestation of this is that as more of us are vaccinated against Covid, people are making plans to return to 'normal' living. But there is still a lot we don't know about how long the vaccine is effective and how well it works against new variants. In the liminal space between open and closed, old and new, constructively dealing with the pressure caused by the need to simultaneously shake things up and be disciplined requires some creativity and invention.

The impulse to connect with others at this time may be in conflict with a difficult or unpleasant truth concerning power and tradition. If you find yourself inclined toward potentially dangerous kinks, passionate flings or love-at-first-sight situations at this time, maybe have a chat with your therapist prior to acting upon your impulses, or at least work out a safety plan ahead of time.
