Full Moon Lunar Eclipse today, across the Aries/Libra axis, with Jupiter squaring from Cancer. This is a big day! The subject of our relationships will be highlighted today. Relationships of all kinds, including relationships with our family or clan and relationships from the past. There is the feeling of something reaching a threshold in our relationships today, and several themes will likely be pronounced. Me or We Mentality: Are you in relationships with people who have a me not we mentality? Are you made to feel like youre needy simply because youre more of a team player than someone else? Do you feel like you have to fight to get someone to participate in their relationship with you? Do you always have time for someone and make someone a priority when you play the role of their option? Do you think more about us than about yourself? Or on the other hand, are you with someone who really cant stand on their own two feet? Someone who cant make a decision without lots of social input, who always needs to be surrounded by people, and even then demonstrates a certain level of indecision? Are you with someone who needs anyone but not you specifically? Perhaps because they dont know themselves specifically? Affection and Adoration: What makes our relationships more than just a negotiation between me and we ? For many of us it has to do with how we were raised or how relationships were modeled for us in our home growing up. Were we raised in warm homes that demonstrated lots of affection? Was that affection all about we or was it all about me? Were you an only child, middle child, eldest/youngest? How did Mom and Dad speak to each other, who had the upper hand, were negotiations done positively or negatively, and were they me or we kind of people with each other? In some ways it doesnt matter if we are me or we kind of people. Each can accuse the other of being selfishly motivated or weak in some way. And each needs the other to be complete. So what matters is how much love and warmth we communicate with each other while were negotiating. Affection and adoration for each other is soul food. If we dont make a daily practice out of holding, hugging, touching, complimenting, squeezing, reassuring, sharing, including one another in the small things, then our relationships will eventually go no further than the dry feeling of a constant negotiation. Insight for the day while we negotiate and learn through our relationships: CS Lewis once wrote, Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.
