I'm always been fascinated by the shared themes I notice in any given week while working with lots of different clients. It's common that most of us are all working on very similar problems, often near-identical problems. I'm not particularly well educated in astrological influences beyond knowing we're in a Venus retrograde, and that there's also some intense solar activity at the moment. The current themes may be entirely from that, or there may be something else going on at a grander scale that's creating these shared dynamics. The fact that emotional, energetic and existential themes are shared across many is a consistent phenomena, though.

Themes of the week seem to be:

* Dad issues!

* The internal balance and role of masculine and feminine energies, an internal reckoning between living in an age defined by the death rattle of patriarchy and our own eons of lifetimes experiencing both male and female lives

* A generally psychotic-feeling ebb and flow of intensity, manifesting as anxiety, angst, depression, anger, ennui. We seem to be particularly resonant lightning rods at the moment for whatever the macro energetic influences are playing themselves out. We can choose to either be struck by lightning and overwhelmed by it. Or, like Thor, we can choose to wield it.

The fact that many of us are feeling anxious, angry, depressed or just "off" is 100% okay. Be with that. Reflect on it. Peek behind the curtain of all those sensations and see what's going on beneath them. Use these intense opportunities to shed old stuff that no longer serves you. Remember to channel that energy into something constructive, and to be gentle with each other while doing so.

Thought for today on the value of self-compassion...

Sometimes when we're angry, there are other emotions hidden below the surface. Learning to recognize when anger isn't really what we're feeling is important for helping us identify and cope with our emotions.
