We spend much of our lives adding layers to our thoughts, our ideas, our emotions. Like our closets, we keep adding layers but rarely remove any which is why organization porn is so popular on Instagram. When we do this emotionally, the clutter can build up to the point where we have no idea what we feel or how we got there. With our layers of busyness and plans we’ve covered up the original emotional wounds, just like a scab over a wound to the body, but the scab has to fall off sometime so that the wound can heal.
Today and tomorrow a strong square aspect between Mercury (thoughts and communication) to Chiron (wounding and healing) can help us to remove some of the layers that keep us from being able to feel really comfortable in our own skins. The layers of others’ expectations and fears of abandonment. The layers of insecurity and self-doubt. The catch is that the only way to peel off those layers is to feel and experience them, and that’s the journey happening right now. The intense Scorpio Moon can assist in this process, and the Moon is quite active today as it interacts with seven planetary bodies (Neptune, Mars, Pluto, Venus, Sun and Jupiter), digging into the truths of so many layers! A good day to breathe and let go of the detritus that clutters up the psyche, and maybe the closet too. 😃
I learned a new term today — “organization porn.” I learn something from you every day, Lynn. Thank you.
That cracks me up Catherine! Glad to be of help. 😃
Ohh lynn this is totally happening to me today I just had my bandaid ripped off , my natal Neptune had me hook line and sinker for the charms of the mind /ego and wishful thinking .
I out myself for ignoring the gaping wound that bleeds under the layers .. thanks for putting it straight to me today . 🙏🏼👌🏻
You know Ceci, it happens to me too and I write this stuff! Take good care. ❤️
Thank you Lynn. This was so spot on for me. Read this after purging a layer of detritus from my office/art studio, which included lots of “finding your style/purpose/meaning” articles. Occurred to me it was mental and physical clutter that I was ready to get rid of, both literally and figuratively. At 68 think I’m finally ready to just be and stop trying to fix myself. I’ve spent my life so busy collecting information about how to fix myself, I’ve often missed the still, quiet voice of wisdom from within. Never too late to begin anew.
I love how you said this Robin, and this is my story as well. 😃
