After yesterday\u2019s Taurus Full Moon square Nessus (and Venus in the Uanus-Pluto square), what issues of a sexual nature have surfaced for you? We\u2019re in the last few days of the Sun in Scorpio now. As we begin the week, Sunday\u2019s Full Moon themes (including our true desire, and how we\u2019ve reacted to or taken on others\u2019 sexual wounds) are being developed by several planetary players.<\/p>\n

First up is Mars (planet of desire and drive) in Virgo square minor planet Ixion and centaur planet Pholus in Sagittarius. A Virgo Mars has a tendency to get hung up on details or get obsessed with \u2018getting it right\u2019. <\/p>\n

This will only get you so far in matters of sex, relationships and intimacy. Curiosity and honesty tend to be more productive guiding principles and goals in that department <\/p>\n

When you obsess over \u2018getting it right\u2019, you take yourself out of the moment and out of your body, and sacrifice the fun of exploration and experimentation on the altar of perfectionism. <\/p>\n

With the additions of Ixion and Pholus to the equation, the drive for integrity possessed by Mars in Virgo can come at the expense of whomever you\u2019re trying to be intimate with — including yourself. <\/p>\n

Healing journeys are messy. And while integrity is important, you don\u2019t need to \u2018crucify\u2019 yourself on the baggage of your past failures. All that does is keep you stuck in something with a surface resemblance to integrity, but which is really just self-flagellation.<\/p>\n

At the same time as Mars-Ixion-Pholus, Mars is also sextile retrograde Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter in Cancer offers a way out of the tension being generated by the Mars square — look for the option that feels good. There\u2019s a catch here, though: life is full of behavioral options and indulgences that feel good somehow in the moment, but which are not actually nourishing in the long run. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beyond immediate physical\/material\/emotional gratification, consider what feels good on a deeper \u2018spiritual\u2019 level (Jupiter rules Sagittarius). In other words, what is actually nourishing? Practically speaking, that which feels good but does not involve a hangover (or the equivalent) is nourishing. <\/p>\n

Does beating yourself up for messing up second chances, or for familial patterns, or for your own karma and past excesses actually feel good or nourish you? Of course not. Let your actions (Mars) serve (Virgo) something far more beneficial and practical.<\/p>\n

That \u2018something\u2019 gets facilitated as we approach the trine between Mercury in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces on Wednesday. This is an opportunity to organize your thoughts about what is healing, and to orient your thinking in that direction. This naturally means going deeper — deeper than perfectionism, and deeper than superficial \u2018feel good\u2019 fixes that leave a nasty aftertaste, or that keep you in patterns of craving and withdrawal.<\/p>\n

Just as the Sun leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius Thursday, Mercury will be making a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn: the extent to which you can make deep changes in your thoughts about healing is great. But you have to be willing to go there, to do the legwork, and to face any lingering denial about what you\u2019re doing with some logic.<\/p>\n

While the Sun is in Scorpio the veil between the realm of the living and that of the dead is said to be thin. Between now and Thursday, consider testing the veils you\u2019ve thrown over your own sexuality and your sense of what truly nourishes you (your potential for real healing). We deserve to make choices for ourselves that set us free instead of keeping us enslaved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
