Brushing after eating, for instance. Some of your other dispositions are maintained simply because you are attached to them.<\/p>\n<p>Attachments are powerful. So powerful, that it is sometimes difficult to tell where you leave off and where they begin. As with your tendencies, many are good for you. Family and\/or community ties encourage mutual support, for example. <\/p>\n<p>At other times attachments, as the word implies, are only a burden. An unfortunate attachment can lead to a confusing crisis. That&#8217;s because consciously releasing the attachment itself can feel more difficult than the problems you can consciously associate with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dane Rudhyar corresponded the last quarter Moon to a &#8220;crisis in consciousness.&#8221; That does not mean you are fated to suffer. Instead, the observation is consistent with what you see of this lunar phase on a zodiac chart, in the sky, and the symbolic implications of both.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The lunar last quarter is a square. A square aspect represents two or more objects separated by 90 degrees on the zodiac circle. Much like the hands of an analog clock when it&#8217;s 9 or 3 o&#8217;clock. Astrologers consider square aspects to connote tension within you (rather than between you and another) corresponding to the nature of the objects involved.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, the nature of the Sun and Moon in astrology correlate to consciousness. The Sun corresponds to your conscious self, illuminating the world of your presence. The Moon is different. It correlates to a more subtle self, less often seen or known. It&#8217;s also where your attachments are probably strongest.<\/p>\n<p>At the last quarter, the lunar light is diminishing. It&#8217;s half way gone and going. You cannot stop the progress of the sky. You have to let Luna go for another cycle. To be in harmony with the sky, you must also do something akin within, and consciously so.<\/p>\n<p>Think of a tendency you may have started after the Pisces New Moon back on March 11. Or even in the previous season that ended with the vernal equinox on March 20. Something you have recently come to believe or feel strongly. Possibly something you need to release in order to be less tense inside.<\/p>\n<p>It may be an unaccountably strong conviction about what or who somebody is, or is not. It could be that something needs to be just so for you to relax, but which never lets you relax for thinking about it. Possibly it&#8217;s a habit that you firmly believe gets you through the day, or night, but which also exacts its own toll you could live without. Look inside tomorrow. Search for things like that. You will know what they are.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have found those tendencies, please think about this. The tension of releasing your attachment to them is over once the release is accomplished, but the tension of holding on for no good reason never goes away. If you think of it that way, tomorrow&#8217;s experience could be the best crisis you never had.<\/p>\n<p><em>Offered In Service<\/em> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Len is available for astrology readings.
