I just drew a few cards for someone. It’s a regular weekend thing I do, the Weekly Tarot (click here for info and scroll down) and one of her cards was the Eight of Cups so I suggested a Tashlich type ritual for her because the Eight of Cups woman is walking away.
From Wikipedia:
The Zohar, the most important book of Jewish mysticism, states that “whatever falls into the deep is lost forever.”
I suggested water, a water ritual, casting into the sea.
You can Google Tashlich on your own, but know this:
the prison in which you find yourself, of your own making, of their making, it is not the place for you, not now, not anymore.
Full Moon Eclipse in Libra allows us to leave “partnerships” that are confining. Partnerships that are WRONG. This word “partnership,” long associated with Libra and 7th House can refer to ANY person place or thing or habit of mind you find yourself mixed up in that no longer fits you.
With every ending comes a beginning because space is created, a lack, an opening to be filled. Or can we just, temporarily, or as long as we choose, leave the space unfilled because that also is okay. Not rush to stuff it with junk food for the soul. Why do we rush? We rush to fill the lack because the hole, the space, contains a scream, terror, that we feel we are not permitted to voice or hear.
For the moment this scream is the Uranus Pluto square aspecting the Full Moon in Libra. The dastardly bastardly dynamic duo are separating yes, the last square is complete yes but they are tightly wound together still and making a mockery of Libra’s peace equanimity.
You think you got pretty? You think you got nice? You think you got fair? Ha! Instead (the Eclipse says) I shall bring you URANUS MOON (crazy up and down the scales crazy music, atonal, reversed Two of Cups) and PLUTO MOON (emotional intensity, reactivity, volcanic, atomic, cutting).
Be kind to yourself. The world out there is hard enough. Be kind.

Aliza, this post really helped me understand what I am experiencing right now…the idea of a space…I have been feeling so empty and scared by the emptiness, aware that I am letting go of something very old (an object from the past onto which I have clung). The things I usually do to occupy myself and perhaps avoid that emptiness have no interest for me right now. I am totally confronted with the empty space feeling, and you’re right, it does feel like something I shouldn’t feel, and would rush to avoid, but your post made me realise I just need to bear it for now and that’s ok. Eight of cups was my tarot for March from the year’s tarot wheel. xoxo
Sophie, I am finding there is anxiety in my “space” sometimes – and then I breathe
I find the possibility of leaving certain partnerships exciting, but I don’t know if I want crazy Uranus/Pluto involved. Oh well, think it’s time to explore plan b, c, etc. Just in case.
