Energy of the Month

Water [update for all links (February 4, 2104): MOA T & A Glossary], water everywhere; drink your fill, for the droughts can always come again. Cleanse yourself, satiate yourself, immerse yourself, then find a warm place where you can air dry in the sun, let the moisture really penetrate. Leo's Sun will be hot, and Cancer asks us to see to our future security, to get prepared. We may practice a water-abstinence discipline for some time before going out into the desert to meditate, but when we reach the oasis we take it in in every way possible, fill up our goatskins, make sure our camels drink... as soon as we've assured it's not toxic, which brings us to the Crab's other side. The part of security we may be missing under this energy is seeing the present as it really is. Everything looks a little 'trippy' just now, maybe a little rosy or maybe we just think so. We're seeing things in new ways right now, ways that may have us feeling a little insecure, a little out in the cold. We may feel alienated and misunderstood, have an urge to rebel but at the same time want someone to love us enough to show us potential limitations as we explore new territory. It's important that we stay in touch with our emotions, and that we keep our loved ones apprised of how we're feeling, but also that we not let our emotions rule us this month. Give the mind, body and spirit each their due and the passions will be appropriately fulfilled.

An aside to Earth signs: An unusual space you're in through the early days of this month. You might feel heavy (especially Cap), but at the same time unusually free (especially Taurus and Virgo). Communications are enhanced with a sense of kinship, and this is a good time for catching up with family.
