Creative Strength

Life is Born of Darkness (Deborah Singletary)

Full Moon | August 9, 2025 | 17 Aquarius 0’

Will we? Or won’t we? Do we have the strength of our convictions? Do we put our money into the speech of our actions? Are we living gold or glitter?

You can’t fool mother nature. Authenticity cannot be faked. Some of us are occupied with trying to make others do the right thing. We want to compel others. Our doing is to try to make them do. We protest the doing of the wrong thing by others. Meanwhile, our doing on and of ourselves is neglected.

Let's focus upon and illumine the mark we make by living our own best lives—not our Sunday best lives. The life for real, not the life for show. The wheels of the bus go round and round. We come right back to where we started. Things never change if we don’t exemplify.

The Sun in Leo reflected by the Moon in Aquarius shows us that the will is expressed by the answer. The will is expressed by what we do with and from our own heart and nerve and sinew in the smallest things and not necessarily in the grandest.

Will I continue to watch "Project Runway" on Netflix? I love design creativity. I want to see that, but I noticed that the bitey, snotty, snitty speech of some of the designers brings out my irritated, disparaging, judgmental commentary of them. If it brings out the worst of me, then I ought not continue to participate. Since I can’t have fight the temptation on each episode, I’m going to try skipping to the runway portion of the program and just see the beauty that even some of the ugly-acting people make. Perhaps the snappy, snitty, snobby ones are performing for the cameras and not being true to themselves.

My personal exasperation is a small thing, done in the privacy of my own home and in my own head. But what I practice, matters. What I practice matters to me and to the world into which my practice seeps.

If I won’t practice, I ought not whine. Whether we practice or not is indicated by the South Node in Virgo. No practice, no integration, no integrity.

The kingdom of spirit is embodied in my flesh. Or not. I can’t make it happen in spirit if I am not doing it in practice.

Practicum

Does your society look like you want it to look?  If it does not, you might need to look within and make a small adjustment. There is power in the practice of your best self. Be attentive to the Sun’s will, light and heart.
