Don't give up hope
tired of it all:
From today's Oracle Report (oraclereport.com):
Far overshadowing the dynamics of the other planets, the Black Moon dominates the energetics right now.
Recall that one of this lunar month's themes or tendencies is the heightened potential for "dividing and conquering." The Black Moon's transit (movement) opposite the Chiron Point is exacerbating this tendency. Chiron rules surgery and cutting, so it naturally divides or separates out -- dividing. In Greek mythology, Chiron was the "Father of the Arts of War" -- conquering.
The Black Moon rules rebirth of shadow sides. The shadow side of Chiron's nature to first wound before it then heals and teaches is massively amplified right now.
This is a rare transit that happens for abouta month every four and a half years.
Do you feel divided from yourself and hope? Do you feel divided from others and hope?
This is a trick -- a shadow, an illusion -- that the Black Moon seeks to reveal. The reality is that we are being more closely aligned with Oneness, happiness, freedom, joy, and sanity.
Today, just as the energetics of the Grand Cross (changes, new directions) let go, the energetics of the Black Moon and Chiron Point (seeing and healing our fears) take over.
It can feel like a warm and comforting blanket has been snatched away, leaving us bare and chilled from the cold.
The truth of things -- the reality -- is that this is a transition time. The way things appear is not how they will stay, nor is it even how they really are. SHADOWS are in effect. The inverse of whatever crazy thoughts are entering our minds is more likely true. This is the nature of the Black Moon. It shows us the truth by first exposing the shadow or façade that seeks to shroud the truth.
Right now we are staring directly at shadows, facades, and shrouds, and they may attempt to dishearten us. They want us to lose hope. They want us to lose faith in truth and love prevailing. All it really does is outline truth and love more starkly --more dramatically. The outline is heavy enough and wide enough for us to readily see what fits in and out of the boundary.
The Chiron Point is 4 degrees of Taurus and the Sabian symbol of "the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." Bridges into better ways, feelings, situations, methods, and circumstances are being built.
The Black Moon is traveling exactly opposite of the Chiron Point at 4 degrees of Scorpio and the Sabian symbol of "a youth holding a candle in a devotional ritual." Simple reverence renews ways, feelings, situations, methods, and circumstances.
The wisdom of the Black Moon's transit opposite the Chiron Point is to stop, hold light, and maintain our highest ideals - our greatest hopes, wishes, and dreams.
Instead of abandoning our greatest hopes, wishes. and dreams, we reinforce them in our hearts and minds "double time." We hold and envision the true and right way we want things to be.
Instead of dividing ourselves from our hopes, wishes, and dreams, we conquer the past that told us that these things were not possible.
The old way is over.
Underneath this energetic, healing is occurring and valuable experience to achieve wisdom is being attained.
We hold our vision, understanding that the shadow that shrouds us from hope will dissolve June 26 at 8:33 am ET/12:33 pm UT, when the Black Moon moves to the next degree of Scorpio
Between now and then, we aim to minimize the drama, or at least turn it into a fun or even a funny thing. Drama provides ample material for humor, doesn't it?
It may take the skills of a martial artist of the mind, but we are up to the task. Remember and believe in the greater dream.

A Black Moon transit dredges up unconscious emotions and fears. The Black Moon just entered Scorpio on May 21, so those who have the Black Moon in Scorpio or Taurus will be having the toughest time right now. There is an ephemeris in the back of the book if you don't know what sign your or someone else's Black Moon is in.

this full moon is at 29’32 sagittarius- activating the karmic completion degree which occurs at the last degree of every sign. this is also activating the last degree of the spring season as the sun moves into cancer and initiates us into summer with the solstice occurring just under 12 hours later (for those in the southern hemisphere it’s the start of winter). so we have this image of not only chapters completing but perhaps a whole volume of life ending. the sun/moon opposition straddles the 29th degree of gemini and sadge- showing that major crisis points, completions and endings are occurring in regards to our perception of Truth and our capacity to live aligned by it. if we have been burying our heads in the sand in recent weeks, months or years- this is a reckoning time where we are asked to face reality as it is, not as we wish it could be. the challenge right now is to have the lower mind be in service to the Higher Mind- as getting stuck in egoic perceptions, thoughts and ideas will not really help us to see the Bigger Picture at play right now. yet at the same time we do need to LINK both minds otherwise we will be spiritually bypassing the mundane, the shadow and the material world. this is not about ascension and going up and out- it’s about descension and fully coming down and in. the desire to escape is strong right now and yet the path of mastery requires we stay the course, stay embodied and show up to do the work.
it’s interesting to note that the sun/moon opposition is not the only activation of the karmic completion degree. we also have juno, the asteroid Goddess of partnership and marriage, at 29 libra. she is currently retrograde but she stations direct 2 days after the full moon (on june 22nd)- and she has been hovering over the 29th degree of libra since june 7th and will do so until july 7th. the full moon sextiles juno and is actually the most exact aspect the full moon makes- bringing light, illumination, completion or crisis points to relationships, commitments and contractual arrangements in our lives. this can play out in romantic relationships but also in business partnerships, situations where money arrangements are involved and on a deeper inner level it can relate to the commitments we make or need to make to ourselves.

Today's Oracle Report:
We now enter the Disseminating phase of the lunar cycle, the time when we activate our listening and communication skills (but particularly the listening skills because Spirit sends messages via others, via background noise and conversation, and via signs and synchronicities).
Disseminating Moon phase is a "receptive" phase in the back and forth pattern between the "active" and "receptive" patterns of the Moon phases. Full Moon phase is extremely active, but Disseminating Moon phase is the time when we go into hyper-wise owl observer mode because the universe re-arranges the pattern or shape of things. We receive information that we need to help us and things become "better."
Disseminating Phase is a win-win because when we open up and share (maybe even feeling like we are risking vulnerability by doing so), both parties benefit. Honest exchanges are so very powerful during Disseminating Moon phase. They enable us to rectify and revise and get spiffy at the next Moon phase -- Third Quarter Moon phase (Monday, June 27).
Weaving through the swirl, these themes are also in effect:
1 - STALEMATES, STAND OFFS, and STANDSTILLS come with the Sun disseminating the energetic of "a cat arguing with a mouse." This dynamic can bring needless conflict and arguments and power struggles. Power and control games are of interest only to those whose egos require continuous boosting. Real life and the basic pleasures and joys of life elude us when the power and control dynamic is being played. An imbalance is at the core of these issues.
2 - DISTORTIONS amidst the imbalances can also play a part today. Things can be dramatically overblown and distorted into an unrecognizable face. We want to remain grounded and keep it real today, avoiding the trap of distortion. This onset of this energetic occurs at 10:26 am ET/2:26 pm UT. The Sabian symbol involved is "a butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed." Nature is perfectly imperfect and so are we. Let's get passed this, shall we? Let's strive for acceptance.
3 - VARIOUS ASPECTS OR PARTS OF THINGS COMING TOGETHER AND REACHING OUT make for an interesting day. Venus is discharging "a small naked girl bends over a pond trying to catch a fish." With or for what are you bending over backwards? Are you called to reach out? What are you trying to grasp? Is it based in reality or not? Is your perception limited by something?
Cooperation and collaboration with others is highlighted today, with the Earth at "a group of people entering a large canoe for a journey by water." Coming together for a shared goal will be very successful. Is it time to embark on a new journey? It's a water ride, so that means an emotional journey. Room should be allowed for changing course.
4- THE SENSORY OVERLOAD OF CHOICES comes with Mercury disseminating the energetic of "a cafeteria with an abundance of choices." There is so much going on as the Black Moon completes opposition with the Chiron Point on Sunday, and Mars completing its retrograde Wednesday. Until then, it is best to just ride out the magic carpet ride and glean as much information and as many messages as one can, because the status of things will change (and come to the better) when Mars stations direct. Mars stationing direct next week is huge. It is most welcome. It has been traveling backwards for what seems like a long, long time.
Today we endeavor to bring balance to what is imbalanced and distorted. We rise above stalemate. We bring forth the inner self to share. We bring things together. We see how truth and love prevail.

More on the Mars retrograde:
As Mars continues it’s slow-motion stoppage in the 23rd degree of Scorpio, directly across from my 23° natal Moon in Taurus, I am both witness to and participant in an extraordinary range of feelings, pulled up from the depths, that are, apparently, at least in my life, being triggered in women, the female, and beyond, the female aspect of creation. That which receives, nourishes, intuits. The female tenderness and sensitivity that can be and has historically been squashed by the male element run amuck, out of control, turning manipulative, even psychopathic.
I sit here, and I breathe, slow down my pulse, move into tai chi or chi kung, feel the flow of chi through my energy body, relax into the primal power that is manifesting during THIS now. Countdown to Mars moving backwards through the seven final degrees of Scorpio, turning direct, pivoting on the same 23rd degree to go forward, Wednesday next, June 29th. Pausing, turning, beginning the ascent up the same rabbit hole it fell into at the end of May, at first slowly, so slowly, but by the time Mars leaves the 23rd degree area, and especially when it exits the profound birth/death/rebirth process signified by Scorpio and changes its state from water-logged Scorpio to questing Sagittarius, the heaviness will ease — not the least because the nature of Mars and of Sagittarius are akin: both are fiery, active, and dynamically set to challenge the status quo.
I speak here of a relatively short but intense Mars in Scorpio process, lasting from the final few days of May through the first few days of August. The key is to allow the feelings, while cultivating the witness, as presence, that calm still spaciousness which allows and holds all the feelings, honors them, and ultimately, lets them go. Mars in Scorpio, ultimately, if we follow it all the way through, produces a clearing process.
