Embrace Responsibility

A lesson of the Cancer new moon, July 2020

Embrace Responsibility
​

AFFIRMATION:
"I embrace responsibility so that I may evolve."

BALANCE:
Always ask. Ask with faith and you will receive. 

​The July 20th Cancer new moon is highlighting the continued Capricorn lesson of RESPONSIBILITY. With the new moon and sun exactly opposite Saturn that is back in Capricorn we will again be experiencing the opposing forces of stepping up and taking charge as well as using our inner resources to embrace necessary self care.

This an energy of extreme self parenting. Cancer can be highly emotional and craves to be nurtured, mothered, supported and protected. This strong Capricorn influence is showing us all where we need to take charge of how we feel and not give our power away by expecting others to "mother" us.

This is a time of self soothing and self respect in order to overcome old patterns and become stronger and more resilient.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF LOVE

Feelings of vulnerability, abandonment or rejection, could come up and may or may not be real. The lesson here is to fill your own cup with a determination and responsibility like never before.

It's up to YOU to fill your cup, it's called self love and self love can only come from YOU, no one can give it to you.

When we are self loving others are able to be more generous and supportive because they are matching our frequency of giving to ourselves.

This moon opposite Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter is teaching us to dig deeper and find even more inner strength to take responsibility for everything that needs fixing, changing, overcoming or completing as a form of self love.

Embrace responsibility and address what has been put off, including self-care, self-nurturing, home, family, administration, finances and health. Start changing all situations that bring pain, if you don't like it, change it, stop putting things off!

Be aware, this is big and deep lesson it's going to take time, patience and perseverance to work through it, so release the expectation to change or fix everything in one go, this isn't a situation of all or nothing.

​Keep building courage by focusing on what is working, make responsibility a regular practice and keep the wheels in positive motion.

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT

Put attention into what is wanted instead of wasting it on what is draining!

Can you hear the lame excuses?

Are you sick of hearing yourself complaining about the same problems?

What limitations have you learned to put up with and even gotten good at living with?

Change what isn't working and has to be dealt with or suffering will continue.

The issue with all of this Saturn and super strong Capricorn energy is by not taking responsibility and dealing with things now, you will keep attracting greater suffering until you do.

RESPONSIBILITY IS SELF LOVE

Look at embracing responsibility as a form of self love, feel into discomfort or suffering and decide to overcome it.

Look at the patterns that got you to where you are, what do you continually put off or put up with?

Do you give your power away by blaming others for your problems, or thinking others must change for you to be happy? Or, do you wait for things to just go away or hope someone else will fix it and make it better?

Recognise how and where you got yourself into uncomfortable or powerless situations and decide to start getting yourself out of them. No one can rescue you from yourself, they can help you, sure, but only you can get yourself out of your suffering, decide to step up, take responsibility and take all the steps necessary and you will instantly shift from a place of suffering into one of empowerment.

You already know what you must change and you must summon whatever courage, knowledge and resources you have to start moving in a direction that is empowering for you.

Make those phone calls and appointments, send those emails, clear that desk or empty that cupboard, have that conversation. Start the steps of taking charge one action at a time, feel the accomplishment those actions bring.

Respect yourself, do what is good for you not just what looks good. Take real charge of your whole life, take a good hard look in the mirror and give love and power to the person looking back at you. Take the steps to give yourself what you need to be heard, understood and supported and keep evolving.

Stay strong and be loving to yourself, this is another hard moon in more hard times, take charge and be in your authentic flow and focus on the beauty and joy that you are.

You are loved.
