Mercury came out of its release phase, in Neptune's sign Pisces at 3 degrees (March 21st). One experience associated with Neptune (and Pisces) is disillusionment -- the dissolving of illusions.
Melody Scott Zindell wrote this on Neptune and a Collective Healing Crisis: "Things are not as bad as they may look. It's easy to see the insanity of these times, the hypocrisy, the scary disregard for rights and boundaries, the victims and the violence. This is the extreme polarization of these times, which I feel is part of the process needed to create our new future. We must be ready to face the shadow and not be in denial of what is actually going on in the world. It's easy sometimes to feel so helpless, overwhelmed and depressed. But this process also clarifies where we have been misled and just how far from our dreams for our lives we can be."
Speaking of dreams for our lives, there's an Aries New Moon this Sunday, and it's super-charged by Uranus the vitalizing evolutionary force. Creative acts can lead to surprises or shocks -- the effects of an action could create blowback, a chain reaction, great gains or losses. Uranus is electrifying the Sun-Moon, and creates a restlessness to experiment, break with stifling people or situations.
The narrator for the New Moon is Neptune, by way of Mercury in Pisces. So while there's drastic intensity in play, that wisdom Melody mentions is there to draw from. It's about being able to be in that in-between, when the old is out-of-date and the new is only just emerging.
Last few days, I've been in one of those rich, but disorienting in-between times. And it's a waning Moon, to go with the flow, of winding down, and preparing for the the new lunation.
