This morning we wake up to Moon in
Libra (5:44 AM EDT). Sun in Cancer also met up with Pluto in
Capricorn via opposition at about 4 AM. Eventually, the Moon will
move into position to square Sun opposite Pluto. From that position
she re-links the Cardinal Grand Cross across the sky during our First
Quarter Moon tomorrow (8 AM) until it finally wears down a bit on Sunday.
Mostly, I expect a climax
or crescendo in the realm of relationships this weekend. We have the
elements of Self (Aries) vs the other (Libra) vs Mom (Cancer) vs Dad
(Capricorn). Isn't that EVERYONE'S favorite ice cream combination for
the 4th of July?
On a personal level, I read that last
line and think, “Oh, that's like saying all I have to do is wrestle
this big ape to the ground and get it to eat a banana and play the
piano.” Managing yourself can be difficult and not always fun. But,
you can do it if you want to. You'll thank yourself for it on Sunday.
Now. This can be as simple as a group
of people coming together in a friendly way (Libra) to eat good food
(Cancer) and blow things up (Mars/Uranus/Pluto) as in fireworks. Or.
It could be that you go to a family gathering and all Hell breaks
loose because your family and your lover/spouse do not get along. Or.
There could be an ordeal with instigation, triggering, pushing
buttons, gas lighting. It could be all of that and more wrapped up in
a pretty package with a bow and a countdown clock on top.
It is Independence Day in the United
States. And, ironically enough, Independence and Freedom are becoming
triggering words to many and for different
reasons. So, debates over all of this are also possible. If
things like this come up and you can re-orient the conversation
(totally Libra Moon material) away from conflict and steer it toward
conflict resolution, maybe someone will come up with some answers or
theories on how to cope in our changing and uncertain world. There is
a difference between argument and discussion and Libra Moon
understands that and wishes to lean in the way of discussion rather
than conflict. Plus, Libra Moon gives us the ability to weigh things
out fairly and in a more rational way.
There is a lot of energy behind this
day just like there was a lot of energy in the Cardinal Grand Cross
over the Spring and just like there is a lot of energy in every
Cardinal Moon we have encountered over the last year. This energy is
nothing new. It is just we receive a respite at times in order to
sort out what happens. This weekend, there is not much respite from
the energy until Sunday.
Mostly, I expect a climax

The MAIN thing through all of this is
NOT to get too excited. There are going to be fireworks going off.
And, I don't know about you, but I LOVE blowing stuff up...er, I mean
fireworks. Yet during the 4th of July when everyone is
putting off their own, I get a little jumpy because you never know
when the neighbors are going to light something and it is going to
explode when you least expect it. THAT whole scenario is a pretty
good metaphorical view of what we are looking at here.
Again, the MAIN thing is NOT to get too
excited. Buttons will be pushed. Triggers will be tripped and it all
boils down 100% to leashing up and directing your reaction to it.
This feels like an external thing because there are all kinds of
outer forces in play (like...every important part of your life). But,
in truth, it is an internal process that is calling you to grow up
your reaction to the things that trigger you. It's all about
controlling and directing you. There is your true Independence and
Freedom.
If you are able to manage yourself,
think for yourself, direct and be responsible for your own energy and
well being then that IS Independence and Freedom regardless of what
is happening outside of your body.
Think about that for a minute. That's
ALL you have to do...manage yourself. That's it!
On a personal level, I read that last
line and think, “Oh, that's like saying all I have to do is wrestle
this big ape to the ground and get it to eat a banana and play the
piano.” Managing yourself can be difficult and not always fun. But,
you can do it if you want to. You'll thank yourself for it on Sunday.
This energy peaks tomorrow so it is merely building today. Then, the Sun will make more noise later as it continues to re-link Uranus and Pluto. Sun will square Uranus on Tuesday.
