This is the long game of astrology.
Learning how transits affect you.
Learning how planets affect you.
Learning which aspects give you the most grace and the most hell.
Here’s how I learned that transiting Moon conjunct my natal Moon was a recipe for emotional fuckery.
I was married. We were doing pretty good together. But we would have these “episodes” of deep emotional pain. They were days long, exhausting and confusing as hell.
At the time, I had the We’Moon calendar book and I used it as a diary. Marking down things I’d done. Places gone. Fights we had. Good times and bad.
The We’Moon calendar lists the important aspects of each day, including the Moon’s placement. I was flipping through one of the previous years, reading what I’d recorded when I noticed that remarkable fights happened when the Moon was in Cancer. Every single month.
All the Moons in Cancer
We both have Moon in Cancer. When the transiting Moon would enter Cancer, all of our emotional stuff was touchy and sensitive and highlighted…thus FIGHTS. We were emotionally immature and confused. We were controlled by this way of being together. We were not making informed, emotionally intelligent choices and absolutely not giving each other grace.
Years have passed since then. We’re divorced. I’m years into therapy and a lot of personal growth. Now I know, when the Moon gets to Cancer, I am going be super ouchy about everything. Being that attuned and sensitive doesn’t mean I’m right in all my feels. It means I need to take time, with my mouth shut, to process things.
Do some journaling.
Walk in the woods.
Sit by the water.
Just chill and let things move through me until whatever truth of the moment finds its way to my consciousness.
You probably have your own episodes that go on repeat like this. If it isn’t the Moon hitting something sensitive each month, maybe it’s Mercury coming through or Mars. It is an individual thing depending on your birth chart along with self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
Astrology Awareness Practice:
Below is a practice that you can use to get to know what might be happening for you cyclically that will allow you to bring choice to the struggle and sweet expectation to times of ease.
In a planner or on some type of calendar, mark down the highlights of each day.
Do this for at least 6 months.
Review those 6 months for the times you had harder than average things happening or more joyful things.
For those dates, look them up on an astrology site like astro.com to find out what the transits were and how they relate to your personal chart.
This is how you begin to learn your WTAF planets.
