magic on sunday: get this box out of here
it sat there for a few weeks, and every day it was the same thing: open the door, walk in slightly obstructed, put my bags down on top of it, shimmy around it, think about how warm it is in my apartment, and tell myself that it’s time to finally install this air conditioner and get its box out of the way.
this went on for a good three weeks until i finally got my ex-boyfriend to come over and help me install it. he did it in 10 minutes flat, and that night i had the best, most comfortable sleep i’d had all summer.
when i picture myself going through the dance with the box at the door over and over, i ask myself the same thing most people asked me when i told them how long i waited to put my ac in: why did it take so long?
i don’t know and don’t have a very good answer, but i know that it’s happening in a few non-box related areas in my life too - places where i'm just going in circles with bad habits, lazy decisions, and making myself dizzy. reading my horoscope this morning is what actually sort of made it all dawn on me. today marks a new moon, and astrologically speaking, here’s what we’re dealing with:
it's a strong new moon with many positive aspects, particularly because mars, the planet of action, joins the sun and the moon in leo. prepare to feel the energy and excitement of fire. now is the time to get your ducks in a row so you can let go, have fun, and embrace the passion of creativity, play, and courage.
the challenging part of this new moon is that it squares uranus, the planet of radical change, which will keep us on our toes. be ready for anything, because anything might just come. and at the same time, this new moon asks us to smash the old and boring, and breakthrough into our next level of authentic, self-led, leadership.
i’m going into this new week clinging to the new moon, getting my ducks in a row, and looking to make my way out of this dizzy dance. i'm hoping too, that the new moon has some magic in store for you.
