THE POWER OF EMOTION

         The Moon today is in the Grand Cross that has been so powerful these recent months. The Moon is the symbol of feelings. It's lined up opposite to Pluto, symbol of Power. And squared to Uranus, symbol of freedom and change. 
     Like many guys, I am not great at expressing my emotions. All sorts of feelings simmer inside, sometimes overflowing as enthusiasm, or anger, or love. Really deep feelings are hard to show, especially the ones that can't be put into words. And yet,
I am an emotional Being, navigating my life by going toward what is comforting, nurturing or energizing, and moving away from what feels bad, threatening, unpleasant. Some teachers have counseled that attraction and aversion trap us in a cycle of suffering, and I have tried to transcend my feelings, and have learned that in the heart and depth of suffering is the beauty of life.
Because at the root of all emotions is love, the life force moving through us, to connect us. And emotions inform us of the state of our connection to others, to ourselves, and to life itself.
     Moon, Pluto, Uranus are encouraging you to transform your emotional life. To claim and validate the power of your feelings.
You can be empowered to allow your deepest emotions to guide you toward full self-expression. What do you really want your life to be about? What is the deepest cry from your soul? Your life is shaped by what you care about. When you surrender to your passion, you are liberated from dishonesty, compromise, and fear.
When you stand in the purity and power of your emotional truth, you are free from game-playing and people-pleasing, free from self-doubt. You are simply present and completely real. You and I don't have to figure it all out, or try to explain it. It's simple. Here we are, feeling ourselves and our connection, feeling the intensity of our love.
