If I get in a mood, it creates a heightened moodiness in my household that overshadows my original mood. It’s like telling my husband that my day was tiring and he goes on to explain his day to out tire me!
Recently, I have been trying to just close my eyes and repeat “this mood is passing, this mood is passing” in an effort to control the perimeter of the energy it gives off.
This is important that I make an effort to quell becoming overwhelmed with emotions.
How do you transcend before it takes hold of your environment?
I think you're on a good track. A simple rule - if it's going to make it worse, don't do it!
Oh! And if I am in a foul mood, I own it. I will tell my husband, I'm in a bad mood, tired, or whatever it is. I ask for space or not to be taxed and he always allows it. I don't stay down or off-center for long.
I’m find my moods also do not linger for too long. It’s noticing the moment I want to be reactive and listening to that inner voice that says “don’t say that”… looking ahead at this September Lunar eclipse and it is conjunct moon and square Ascendant wanting to get some perspective on how to manage and be successful.
Coming from a somewhat moody SOB, (Cancer stellium), I just have to *feel* it. Cry, do whatever, but I don't hold on to it. I have to remind myself that it'll pass. I do try to explain that I'm just not "there" or "I'm tired" at the moment. Sometimes it can be hard to be vulnerable with people, so I often turn on my Libra rising charm. *smiles brightly* "I'm okay!" And just face it when I'm alone.
I think you're on the right track about it! Another thing that also helps me is transmuting that energy. Movement, creating, writing, whatever gets my mind to help transcend the mood and express the energy in a positive way. Like stepping away from it to get a birds eye view on WHY I feel that way.
I hope this helps!
My husband is a Cancer with Libra rising, which is why he totally out moods me all the time 😂
