Today I was thinking about boundaries. Does everyone have trouble setting or keeping them. Does everyone think about them.
What are the issues that you return to? Your ascendent/descendent axis may answer the question.
When I have to draw a line, I am clumsy at it, so clumsy. I come across harsh and I think this is partly because I have Mars in Cancer. I keep it in before I let it out and then it comes out stronger and kind of awkward. Cancer can be brusque as it is.
And then there’s Pisces on my descendent and transiting Neptune is hovering there. Is it me? Is it you? Is it both?
On the up side, porous boundaries means that I “feel you.” We become intimate without trying. It’s instant.
I want to make magic this New Moon in Leo, tomorrow morning, a little before noon, Big City time, as though I will be in meditation up until the moment when.
The Moon and Sun are, will be, in my 12th House, the house of NO boundaries. Limitlessness. Seas.
And when we have planets in the 12th House we feel like we are drowning in it. And it can feel good until we realize we’re underwater, far from home, and the shore is nowhere to be found.
Nor sure if I would trade it. It feels good to feel. The tricky part, as always, is to master and grasp the spring.
My New Moon intention though is to get quiet inside, as still and as quiet as I can get. And see what arises concerning all the issues that concern me: love, money, boundaries… but without asking, without seeking. Just… giving permission. Making space and creating structure. The Moon will sextile Saturn (support) and sextile Mars (stamina).
Not to worry (which would be very Virgo Rising) and instead to burn bright and calm around what I do not yet understand or have the answer to.
And you?
Love, MP

“Cancer can be brusque.” I have never ever heard that before! That is the only not-completely-positive word that shows up repeatedly on my performance reviews…I thought it was the Capricorn/Virgo/Mars in Leo. My boundary issues are very related to my asc/des axis, I want to be all things to the people I care about. Of course, with Pluto sitting on my asc these days, it doesn’t come across warm & fuzzy.
Really? Hard shell on the outside. Defensive. The “keep out” sign! Warm jelly on the inside. Virgo is cranky too.
Even with Pluto in my 1st House, people still come to me for directions when they are lost (in the city) even when my back is turned
“Not to worry (which would be very Virgo Rising) and instead to burn bright and calm around what I do not yet understand or have the answer to.”
To ‘live the questions’, as Rilke wisely wrote. 12th house new moon for me too.
LOVE THIS
thats so true. pluto in scorpio is my only other water planet, i’m learning how to work with it though.
I’m a pisces sun with a leo rising and my boundaries always seem blurred. i just care about everyone and everything. right now i’m going through a tough time, and it seems like my way of getting through it is to put all of my ‘feelings’ into caring about everyone elses feelings. my mars is capricorn in the 5th not exactly sure how that affects me, but my moon is aqua and i think that w/ my sun just makes me ‘too’ caring.
Oh yes that Pisces Sun for sure. It can be confusing too if the rest of your chart is not so watery but your SELF (Sun) is
You just posted this as I came on line and in reading it— it is sooo ME. I have always had trouble setting boundries and when I do I am to direct-harsh, almost like I want to start an argument, but its just that I have held it in for so long that it comes SPEWING forth!!! I always thought that was my Aries rising–direct, blunt! but I am Pisces sun , Venus is in my 12th house and the new moon is in my partnership 5th house with Saturn in my Cancer moon..OOOFFTA!
oofta 🙂 Or it’s that other people were walking through your boundaries and then FINALLY comes the last straw even if that person meant no harm at all, you just see red…I wonder if anything squares your Mars (a square is a tense aspect)
mmm I dont know– Mars in 10th, directly acroos form Pluto in 4th and Leo
Oh they could be in opposition. That is a temper!
