It takes time to sort out life's dilemmas, and this would be a good time to reflect. You may choose to putter with a beloved hobby or artistic project, for this house is also thought to be the well of inspiration and creativity. Even on the simplest level, this eclipse will help you get more rest to recharge your batteries.
In order to get the most from this eclipse, you need to have a peaceful setting and a light schedule. A quiet week at a beach resort would be a perfect place to go in early June. Time spent alone will be enriching and enlightening. If you hoped to let go of a habit or even a person who siphons your energy and depresses your spirit, this month will be when to do it.
This first eclipse June 1 is positive, for it receives a very strong and sturdy friendly beam from stabilizing Saturn. Whatever decision you make during the first part of June seems to be a decision you are comfortable with, and will stay in place for a very long time.
That's it, I'm not unfocused and wasting time, I'm "reflecting" and "recharging my batteries." Sounds so much better that way, doesn't it? I was blaming it on the weather - I don't know whether I'm more heat sensitive in my old age or if it's a residual from the brain thang, but hot weather just leaves me wiped out and unable to think straight. I left Florida in part because the heat was so debilitating to me, and right now Asheville is experiencing freak, near-record-breaking, Florida-like heat. Sigh. I didn't put two and two together until yesterday, when I realized that I was experiencing a hint of the ol' brain fog/mental shutdown I had for a year after my little brain incident - it's hard to describe, it's just a sort of gentle fog that saps energy, ambition and thought processes, and when it hits I need to work harder to find my focus.
I'm now thinking 5 mile hikes in 90 degree temps may not be compatible with my need to work basically 7 days a week right now to get my business off the ground, because though yesterday was a blazingly bright, sunny, hot day, I spent it in a soft, cottony personal fog. Or maybe it's the eclipse. I did get work done, but not with my usual intensity - I just sort of shifted into a lower gear without realizing it.
Today I will get my act together. I will make my to-do lists of things I must get done, review my schedule and ditch the things I can get out of doing, and just keep putting one foot in front of the other, until the eclipse and the heat wave both get out of my way.
June will be another full month, with a happy break in the middle - Girlmama is flying up for a long weekend visit. I'm hoping we'll be having more normal weather by then, because neither of us is feeling very heat-tolerant at the moment.
Don't be too hard on yourself! I think our brains are still telling us when it's time to slow down. Even years after the event... Take care and enjoy Girlmama's visit :)
ReplyDeleteOh man! According to my horoscope for June, I am supposed to be offerred some *FABULOUS* new job on the 14th. I'm starting to think the horoscope person is somewhat accurate but given to exageration---last month, I was supposed to get a BIG cash windfall on the 10th, and I did get my tax refund on that day. I'm mostly hoping for a job that doesn't require that I wear some kind of polyester smock---at this point in my life, my career goals are pretty simple.
