For the second night, the Moon continues to bring the emotional and passionate feelings you are experiencing. You feel irritation and quarrelsome. This is not surprising as Moon phases affect human behavior as the human body is over 60% water. If the phases of the Moon can affect ocean tides, and even cause a bulge in the Earth’s crust, it is not surprising that this Moon would exert an effect on our actions.
In true form, this Moon emits vibrations of conflict. Today, you may have a great deal of difficulty tolerating opposing points of view. Be a bit kinder to your enemies, you may need them at some time in the future. You might believe that in order to truly forgive your enemies, they will have to apologize for their wrongs against you. But this gives your enemy a large amount of power. Realize that forgiveness and loving your enemy is more about benefiting yourself than them. True compassion is a profound skill, one that has much more in common with fierceness than softness. Compassion arises when you allow someone else’s pain into your own heart without a personal agenda. Loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you is liberating. Sometimes, the best way to love your enemy is to focus your energy on more positive relationships. If there is someone you’ve wanted to get to know better, ask them out for a cup of coffee or to get a drink after work.
