Moon in Detriment

CUT YOUR LOSSES

It would be absolutely lovely if life were nothing but rainbows and unicorns. But after a certain age (say, around seven years old), we start to realize that there is always going to be light and shade. Drawing this card suggests that right now you might be going through a little bit more shade than light. You’re not at your best, and it could be that the situation you’re enquiring about is taking its toll on you and your vitality. You have two choices at this point: Either you keep going in the same direction you’ve been heading up to this point, or you do what it takes to cut your losses. In other words, is it possible for you to change tack now, or are you absolutely committed to the actions you’ve been taking lately? You’re not running on full power in this situation at the moment, so if you want to change that, you need to think about what it’s going to take to strengthen your position. In your current situation, it’s not easy to be spontaneous, and that can make everything feel rather tedious.

• What’s happening isn’t your fault. • Are you being too self-conscious? • Do you need to look on the bright side a little more? • Life goes in cycles, and you need to accept that this is a moment to do the necessary emotional work.

The Moon is said to be in detriment in the sign of Capricorn. Capricorn is all about being strict and severe and the Moon is all about emotions. Together, they create tension.
