Morning Star: Daily Astrology for May 15, 2014

My clients and friends are reporting that yesterday was heavy and a bit crazy. I would have to agree. Yesterday was all about the Full Moon, Pluto and Saturn. Full Moons are a bit crazy. They prompt werewolves to transform. People can act like lunatics (the root word there is Luna=Moon). And then, Pluto and Saturn can feel like an elephant sitting on your chest. So, yeah, that's no small thing.

Today, though, is a little diverse and more fiery and potentially explosive than anything.

 
Moon entered Sagittarius overnight (1:45 AM EDT). The first aspect she makes is a (yaaaaaaaawn) square to Neptune which perfects at 2:23 PM. Things are foggy and confusing for the early morning hours. Sleeping in would be blissful. If you can't do that, it may take an extra cup of coffee or two to get your motor running.

After the square to Neptune perfects, things start popping. Moon makes a sextile to Mars in Libra which tweaks our ambitions at 5:17 PM. Then, Mercury perfects in sextile to Venus in Aries firing up our minds and desires. Both of these aspects contain the elements of fire (Sagittarius/Aries) and air (Gemini/Libra). Do you know what air does to fire? I'm not talking about blowing out birthday candles. Air whips fire up! Air is dry meaning its easy enough to start the fire. Add more wind to those dry and hot conditions and what you have is an out of control wildfire. If you can engage into this through a controlled burn and not get carried away, you can get quite a bit accomplished.

Let it burn out of control and people run the risk of getting burned—including yourself.

And there will be ample opportunity for things to get “out of control.” After Mercury finds Venus via sextile, it also finds Uranus. Verbal sparks could fly. Or, mental sparks could bring you some seriously sweet and possibly ingenious ideas.

I do see Mercury/Uranus as having genius potential. However, it is also the mark of a madman. There is that thin line that separates genius from madness. You might find yourself using it as a jump rope today. Plus, Mercury/Uranus can turn the volume up on any nervous problems you may have...particularly anxiety.

However, if you ground those lightening thoughts, you may tumble over onto the side of genius. To ground, reduce stimulants (she says after telling you to drink an extra cup of coffee this morning), increase water intake, eat solidly, breathe, create a physical conduit for the energy and send it straight from your head through your feet and into the ground. Get outside. Exercise. This IS not sit still energy. Burn some of that stuff off so that you do not spontaneously combust.

Sagittarius is pretty outspoken anyway. When you add in the whipped up firecracker mouth that is Mercury/Uranus...lol...lets just say things could get rather entertaining. It really sounds fun and stimulating to me. But, there some that will take the smartassery and snarky comments overboard. Some will be self-righteous. Someone is likely to get verbally cut today. If you can avoid the pitfalls, though, today is considerably lighter than the previous few days.

Venus meets Uranus via conjunction to Uranus at about 8 PM. LOVE GOES BOOM! Again, there are positive expressions of this as well as negative connotations. At either end is a desire to break free, cast off chains. Yesterday's Full Moon brought up issues of debt. Venus is not going to tolerate any such burdens today. She'll be ready to cast off any chains (including monetary, energetic and karmic debt) that may be holding her back. Love's lightening bolt brings things to a head quickly and rashly. Plus, this aspect is felt waxing in all day. As a matter of fact, this may have been building for you for awhile.

All of this action with Uranus, Venus and Mercury occurs at 14 degrees of Aries and Gemini. Gather around those of you born with Aries in Chiron near this degree because this could get REALLY interesting for you! Any bodies you have at 14 degrees fire or air are going to be lit up quick fast and in a hurry. Use it to your benefit instead of blowing stuff up for no good reason. Use this energy to invigorate (geez...how long has it been since we've felt that?) instead of incinerate. HA, doesn't Godzilla come out in the movies tonight? Because, the fire breathing of that big lizard illustrates the potentially damaging possibilities of this aspect quite perfectly.

Sleep DOES NOT come easy tonight because even after bedtime our firey Moon is busy! She enters into this wildfire at 2:32 AM with a trine to Uranus and Venus and opposition with Mercury. Something someone else said in a pop off comment may still be firing you up and making you toss and turn most of the night.

Things will be dynamic and crackly today. Many a hair will stand on its end. Seriously. Static electricity is likely to be high today too. We are riding the lightening today folks. Sounds wonderfully exciting to me! But, it isn't something to be used haphazardly and it certainly is not for everyone. However it will be ANYTHING but boring!
