Morning Star: Daily Astrology for May 24, 2014

It's a busy day. I hope you slept well last night. I don't mean busy as in “bad.” Busy can be social butterfly busy, or manual labor but productive busy...either way...BUSY. I'm fairly sure the majority of us will be up for a good day of movement anyway. Problem will reside in not knowing which direction we should run.

 

At 4:07 AM EDT, Moon made an ambiguous opposition to Mars in Libra. Moon wants to GO! Mars is stuck on “Which way should we go? What do you think? What would they like us to do? What can I do (Mars) to piss (Mars) off someone else (Libra/Other) today?” Dude. You aren't running backward anymore. Get your stuff straight. The detriment of Mars still makes Aries rather grumpy.

Libra doesn't initiate at the shot of the starting gun. There's a pause prior to engagement. This can be good if it isn't an emergent situation. But, so many people have a tendency to get stuck there. “On one hand, I could do x. But, on the other hand, maybe I should do y.” It's frustrating. And, it makes me want to rip my Libra parts out and smack them all.

Let me give you a possible scenario. This aspect was waxing in late last night. So, maybe you were lying in bed with your partner under this Aries Moon. And, one of you says, “You know, tomorrow is Saturday, I'd like to do something really fun.” The other person says, “OH! ME TOO! What would you like to do?” That leads to, “I don't know, what would you like to do.” And you could pass that sentence back and forth for an eternity trying to come to a decision (which, deciding to do something FUN should be FUN, right? But, in this instance..GAH!) until you both get ridiculously frustrated and finally say, “FUCK IT! WE AIN'T DOIN NOTHIN!”

Ahhh, fun times. Here's the thing, though. The opposition of the Aries Moon to Mars occurs at 9 degrees Cardinal. Mars is STILL inconjunct Neptune, so it could be that motivations with both parties are elusive anyway. Or, you may want to have fun but energy levels are not exactly dependable right now. Either way, Aries Moon wants to go. Libra Mars wants to go WITH YOU! But, looming ever so close in the background is Pluto...squaring them both. As frustration rises, so can the taste of blood in your mouth.

WHOA! This isn't worth killing anyone over! RELAX! Look for something active. If the weather is nice, get outside. I wouldn't go for anything that calls for refined skill (like shooting practice or knife throwing) or that is overly strenuous (might not be so bad for a friendly competition—Libra Mars loves that. But, risk of injury is HIGH with Mars/Neptune and with Mars/Moon in square to Pluto, things could get vicious and bloody rather quickly). GENTLE fun. And, if the decision making gets too heavy, you can always default to just having sex. Makes Moon happy, makes Mars happy and it's about the only thing that makes Pluto crack a smile..so..yeah, there's that.

The key will be doing something that SAFELY discharges that Mars energy and engages other people since Libra doesn't like to play alone. The square from Moon to Pluto occurs at 11:20 PM. Yep, sounds like a “nooner” to me.
 


Also looming in the background, Jupiter perfects in trine to Saturn in Scorpio. This Water Trine has been building for awhile. Hopefully, you are using it to its full potential. It brings a sense of, “I don't know how, and I don't know why, but I feel as if everything is going to be ok...somehow..some way.” And, that's a pretty nice feeling to have in the backdrop.

I know better than to tell Mars/Uranus not to push the big red button.
 Because they will see it as a dare and push it EVERY time
You seriously are going to want to discharge that Mars stuff before Noon. This is because there is another aspect waxing in. Uranus is at 15 degrees Aries. Pretty safe away from an opposition with Mars (though, it IS coming). But as the Moon passes from 9 degrees, (which will be PAST Mars but still in orb enough to feel it) it begins waxing into conjunction with Uranus AND acts as a bridge between that rather largely separated Mars/Uranus opposition. If YOU don't discharge that Mars energy, the Universe is going to hit your release valve and its going to spew out in all kinds of unexpected directions. Premature Ejaculation---metaphorically, of course.

We know Mars/Mercury to be accident prone. Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury. Mars/Uranus is the Mars/Mercury clumsiness on crack. Thing is, Mars/Mercury goes for your hands. Mars/Uranus heads straight for your ankles (and your nervous system). So, you could be in the throes of a highly competitive game of basketball and end up breaking your leg. Don't believe me? Go ask Kevin Ware (and WARNING the linked video there is pretty graphic) who played for the Louisville Cardinals during March Madness in 2013 and ended up with a double fracture of his lower leg with Mars in Aries right on top of Uranus in Aries. Check the ephemeris for 3/31/13 and see for yourself.
 
Or, you could be partying it up on a party barge with your friends and get seriously injured because you don't realize how drunk you are (Mars inconjunct Neptune). LOL, I'm really not trying to scare you. Just be careful out there. Any ER worker will tell you that trauma due to accident rises dramatically in the warmer months—lawn mowers, boats, ATV's, motorcycles, theme parks, jet skis...this is the PERFECT set up for stuff like that. Not to mention that when the temperature rises, so do the statistics surrounding domestic violence, brutal/violent crime..and all that. Throw in some Neptune (Drugs/Alcohol) to that mix (Moon/Mars/Pluto/Uranus) and you've got yourself a potential real big (and possibly prosecutable) mess.

Plus, Mercury enters his shadow period so your thinking/judgment is pretty jacked too. And, it ALL happens before 3 PM!

Do aim for fun. Just make it safe fun. Then, whatever you are feeling gets amped up when the Moon ends the day with a square to Jupiter in Cancer. If it was an overall fun day that made you feel good, then by bedtime you are going to be feeling REALLY good. If you let this stuff take you over...well, yeah. Let's not do that. Ok?

Use today well. Tomorrow looks to be much less exciting. It would serve you well to stop off at the grocery store for treats to prepare for tomorrow after your adventures of today.
