Astrology Looks At Emotional Well Being

Monday is the day to be conscious of your feelings and to understand what unfulfilled desires may be controlling your actions. The moon in astrology is connected to our feelings. The moon is always changing, from new to full and back again. The gravitation of the moon has an impact on the tides of the ocean, the highs and lows. This is symbolic of our emotional state. There are highs and lows in life.

It is important to take care of our emotional well being. If we are depressed we can get stuck and not take care of simple task in our world let alone be able to plan and feel confident to conquer and obtain our hopes and dreams.

The moon is one of the two luminaries in the sky with the sun being the other and the luminaries reflect our physical well being. Therefore taking care of your body as well as your home is also under the dominion of the moon.
One exercise that will help you is to write down your key relationships in your current life and key relationships from your past that you still think about, with one or two words that best describe how you feel by interacting with that person.

Become aware of the emotional state that you would rather not be spending your life energy on and begin to make it a point to either change the interaction with that person or remove yourself from relating with them. One key factor is that if you remove yourself from the relationship of an individual that brings up negative emotion if you have not healed a core issue that it is based upon you will only be putting off the inevitable. Those issues will resurface in your life in another person.

One way to discern if there is an issue to resolve that is within you versus making a choice to be around only people that you enjoy who you are when you are with them is to ask yourself if there is a reoccurring pattern with the present relationship that is annoying you. Sometimes there is someone in our life that interacting with them brings up feeling inferiority, frustration, anger or another uncomfortable feeling. Observe what happens when the uncomfortable feelings are triggered when you are in the presence of that person.

As you observe the unwanted emotion surface look for clues that may be at the root of the unwanted thoughts and feelings. In most cases these triggers are anchored from past experiences that never were let go of, healed or addressed. When you discover what that trigger is, say a haughtiness and a specific type of eye contact, with perhaps a laughter, or a certain tone of voice, take a mental snap shot of the incidence then in a safe environment let yourself feel fully everything that comes up. Step outside of the picture or memory and just observe. In that visualization feel the emotions come up, let them go, imagine them dissipating into nothing, and imagine the particular look or trigger and look at it happen, feel it happen, until it no longer evokes the past emotion. Then continue imagining the trigger voice or look and replace the old emotion that used to be evoked with another more empowering emotion. Perhaps amusement or confidence, whatever feels right and appropriate for you.

Healing the emotional baggage will free you. Mondays and the hour of the moon are great times to eliminate pain and free yourself from heaviness, depression, and situations you have grown beyond. Try this exercise and discover if more joy and laughter enters your life.
