Intuition v Rationality

Mercury is now going forward so we are good to go, though things may still be a bit choppy and not all the pieces may be in place yet. If this is the case it is best to just surrender to what is happening, rather than allow your mind to go into overdrive and try and work it out. Sometimes we just don't know what will happen next. However, we do have our inner guidance system to help us navigate the unknown.

Over this Sagittarius new moon we are being tested on whether we are listening to our intution, or being ruled by our rational minds. The moon and planets have been urging us to retune ourselves to our intuition, the instinctual part of our nature.

When we listen to our intuition we are coming from our heart that is connected to the web of life. Our rationality comes from our minds and egos, from what we know. We are the only animal on earth that has the ability to see things 'rationally,' that has a conscience. All other animals act on instinct alone.

However, over the centuries we have developed our rationality in detriment to our instinct, and we have reached a situation where we are now dominated by rationality, to the expense of our intuition. I believe that this disconnect is one of the major contributing factors to our depression and anxiety epidemic.

When we don't listen and follow the wisdom of our our intuition, we experience the short term pleasure of the rational mind, our ego, but receive the long term pain of our hearts. When we follow our intuition, it is the law of nature that we may well suffer the short term pain of the ego, but in return we receive the long term pleasure and joy of the heart.

Over this Sagittarius new moon, symbolised by the Centaur who is half human, half animal, we are reminded that we must listen to our intution in order to find the inner peace and happiness we seek. When we act on our instinct we are always rewarded in the long term.

This is the final push to take the leap over this penultimate new moon of 2019, and follow your heart so that you can move forward with ease. Letting rationality stop you is no longer an option, as it is getting harder and more painful to ignore our inner voice.

Let the energy of the Sagittarius new moon help you to aim high, then be the arrow and allow nature, and your instinct, guide you to the bullseye.
