Don't ignore your trustworthy gut.

"A gut feeling is actually every cell in your body making a decision." 

- Deepak Chopra

Hey Truthseekers, happy Saturday! I hope that this post finds you healthy, safe, and well.  I wanted to pop in to share some additional thoughts I had about yesterday's Cancer New Moon, exact on the East Coast at 9:17 pm EDT.  Check out the post I wrote about it it here.  

It got its energy from Jupiter (rx) and Neptune (rx) in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, and Chiron in Aries (which goes retrograde on July 15th). All of these big planetary contacts with this highly sensitive, self-protective, Sun-Moon blend are asking us to take a closer look at the ways in which we seek out emotional security and stability and how these pursuits play out, for better or worse, in our relationships to others, starting with those in our families of origin? 

As you were contemplating the energy and setting your intentions for the next two weeks, what did your gut instincts tell you? Do you listen to them?  Or do you ignore them? 

Over the next couple of weeks, are you willing to take some risks to master a higher expression of love and nurturing?  Cancer struggles with risk taking because risks take it out of its comfort zone, but now is the time to maybe reconsider how risk taking could work in your favor.

Can you see yourself releasing people or situations that you’ve grown accustomed to protecting? Are you open to the possibility that others may perceive your care as a bit possessive and smothering and that your small sacrifices might refresh the relationship and take it in a new direction? Cancer has a tendency to hold on a bit too tight to people and/or situations because it feels very deeply connected and vested, but everything has an expiration date, especially if those people and/or situations are causing you harm or are appearing to be something other than what you signed on for.

Can you live with a sense of helplessness in the face of allowing others to be who they are supposed to be?  Cancer is a Cardinal sign, which means that it is driven to begin things and will invest a great deal of emotional energy and labor into that thing.  Watching it unfold in a manner that it can’t control can be a blow to Cancer’s ego, and if Cancer isn’t careful, it can resort to passive aggressive tactics in order to get what it wants.  This New Moon is calling upon all of us to let go and allow others to pursue their own way, even it it makes us feel helpless and useless.  If the person or situation is truly for us, it will return.  

At the end of the day, we should be willing to take that extra step to respect and love other people and their choices, even if it hurts us a bit.

i am a firm believer in ‘trust your gut instinct’ but like that becomes difficult when you have severe anxiety and so your gut tells you everyone and everything is a threat

Your Heart is Stupid, so Listen to Your Gut Instead -

At times following your heart can bring devastating results especially if you ignored your gut instincts that something was not right with your relationship

"It means resisting cynicism. Cynicism corrodes instinct. The older you get, the more it creeps in. You start thinking you know too much, that you’ve seen it all before. You lose your naïveté — and that’s a killer. I’ve always tried to hold on to mine — maybe way past the expiration date. But it’s what keeps your instincts sharp."

-- Barry Diller in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on keeping creative instincts.
