Morning Star: Daily Astrology for May 23, 2014

This morning we wake up to a Void Pisces Moon. The last aspect she made was a square to Mercury in Gemini. This can give an overtone to the morning of longing for silence in a room full of Chatty Kathy's. Personally, this Pisces Moon has rid herself of the Chatty Kathy's. I find I work and function much more effectively in solitude. My Libra parts want to be a team player. But, my Pisces parts would rather just be left alone. There's a balance to find there.

It's an odd thing for a Libra, but when I was practicing gymnastics, the balance beam was my WORST area. I excelled at the uneven bars though. Go figure.

Either way, we may wake up feeling like something does not compute. Maybe it was information contained in a dream—what was THAT about? Maybe it was something someone said and you aren't sure if they meant it and you aren't sure if you understood it. Maybe it was a random thought that surprised you and left you perplexed..where did THAT come from?

Moon remains Void until she crosses into Aries just afternoon. At that point, we get really tired of sulking really quickly. Time to move onward and upward!

The Aries Moon's ruler, Mars is NOW DIRECT. He is moving out of his elusive energy sucking inconjunct with Neptune and headed straight toward a square with Pluto. Are you ready for that kind of power? You have a little while to prepare. But, I surely suggest you do because THAT kind of Mars without any type of philosophy or end goal can be outright dangerous.

Bloodlust. That's what Mars/Pluto equals for me. Ferociousness. Haphazardly, someone could get hurt. Deliberately directed...HOLY SHIT. There is some POWER there that we've not known for quite some time.

If you are early Pluto in Libra, you are going to be feeling your Pluto and all his aspects today as the Moon opposes. Be careful not to project your shadow. Own it. Power forward with that monster under control. The Sun supports you via trine to your Pluto. Power. Use it wisely.

And, while the Sun makes a supportive aspect for our Pluto in Libra generation, it also sextiles the Moon in early Aries (4:39 PM EDT).

Of course there is still the matter of the Sun waxing into square with Neptune. But, do you realize you can use that? Oh yeah. There are times that call for the throwing up of a deliberate smokescreen and it isn't always merely to deceive or cheat. My favorite illustration of that is if you have to make a public speech. This scares the bejeezus out of some people. But, with Sun/Neptune, you can be whomever you want to be. I'm not regular Jo-X giving this speech. Today, I'm Martin Luther King. Today I'm JFK. Today, I'm the cult of personality.

 

That's right. You can use it to your benefit. Just be sure to ground first and do not leave the stage actually still thinking you are these phenomenal speakers. But, you can certainly throw that smokescreen up if you need to.

Another possible good use? Disappearing. Sun/Neptune can poof in and out of the reality sphere with a snap of the finger. Need a break? Run away for an hour or two. Do it while the Moon is Void—nothing will come of it Void Moon = a relaxing get-a-way with no repercussions. The cloak of invisibility is VERY useful at times.

Why, yes. If there is something you want to do, there is usually a tool in the sky or in your personal chart that you can engage to do it. Believe it or not, Astrology is not here to dictate how we live our day -to-day lives. It is here to guide us in maturity (Saturn), wisdom (Jupiter) and many other tasks. But, at the same time, it provides us with the tools we need to navigate life successfully. It's here to use. Not to dictate or suppress. That's my theory. And, it seems to be working. Though you will find different stories and perspectives elsewhere. This one works for me.

Tomorrow starts with us running before our feet even touch the ground. Get ready for THAT today. As a side note, here are some common "cautions" with Moon in Aries. Headaches..possibly sinus headaches coming off of a Pisces Moon where our immune systems are much more sensitive to allergens. Don't run over people! NN is in LIBRA! Draw the initiating GOLD from the SN in Aries but don't forget to play nice! NO CHEATING TO WIN! Prepare yourself for the big bang of the starting gun. If you aren't ready, it can make you stumble right out of the starting gate. Get ready to wake up! Be ready to MOVE..Aries DOES NOT sit still! Burn something--safely. Today would be great for burning garden debris and brain garbage. Waning Fire Moon...purge via fire.
