Here's your day to get up and go.
Today, we wake up to Moon in Aries having just left a square with
Pluto in Capricorn (3:55 AM EDT). By noon, our Moon meets up with
Uranus in Aries. This brings the nudge...move. Time to step out of
the muck.
This is physical endurance, though. Not
so much mental focus. Mental focus comes from Mercury who is still in
Leo but set to glide into Virgo tomorrow. There will be a shift felt
here. As soon as Mercury enters Virgo, it also begins waxing into
opposition with Neptune Rx which perfects on the 18th.
Some report that during the half of the year that
Neptune is RX things become more clear, less foggy. Sometimes Neptune
Rx causes veils to drop instead of construct them, which is one of
Neptune's specialties. I can attest to that. I feel much less foggy
when Neptune is Rx. I've had time to observe too. I'm just finishing
my Neptune square Neptune transit which ran concurrently with Neptune
conjunct my Pisces Moon.
However, my Venus in Virgo minds every
detail. If it isn't perfect, it isn't good enough and no matter how
much a creation is reveled by its receivers, my Venus will still
focus on what she feels “isn't quite right” or “could be
better.”
That feeling is reinforced by a trine
from the Moon to our Sun in Leo at 10:24 PM. This is a day for
movement of some kind. Any stationary work you have to do will likely
feel cumbersome. If you are chained to a desk today, take a few
breaks to get up and move around. Take a walk down the hallway. Step
outside periodically. Or, my favorite, occasionally stop and play
some upbeat music and have an impromptu dance party right at your
desk. Yeah, some people are going to look at you funny. So?
Overnight, Mars will sextile Pluto in
Capricorn. The energy is waxing now...building. This aspect brings a
strong sense of endurance and enables you to get down to the nitty
gritty to do what needs to be done.

Either way, when Neptune is in aspect
to Mercury in our transiting sky, time becomes blurred and sloggy.
The clock seems to move more slowly. Put the slog of time together
with the grave digging endurance of Mars/Pluto and you can accomplish
quite a bit. Father Time slows down and says, “Ok, now is the time
to play catch up.”
At the same time, Neptune in aspect to
Mercury can cause brain fog. So, we have this endurance that won't
quit accompanied with the fact that we are a bit foggy on what we are
doing in the first place. The opportunity with this opposition,
though, is to create order out of chaos. In the days we have just
travelled through (past week or so) we've had confusion and emotional
turmoil dumped upon us. Mercury opposite Neptune gives us a chance to
sort through all of that while Mars in aspect to Pluto helps us
rebuild and gives us the strength to keep moving forward.
Mercury sits well in Virgo. And, Virgo
holds everything that Pisces/Neptune needs. Oppositions are like that
but you have to get through the friction of the polarities in order
to get to the good parts. Let me give you an example. I'm am SO
Neptune. In that my Pisces parts could care less about details. My
Pisces parts feel that perfection is in an illusion and there are
other things more worthy of attention than the strides toward
perfection.
Do you see how these two sides of a
person could be at continually war with one another? Now, consider
the fact that I'm married to a Virgo Sun/Virgo Mercury/Pluto in Libra
native and we are currently undergoing a complete home remodel.
Ha..ha.
My husband's attention to detail and
desire for perfection is ridiculous. The first couple of days of this
remodel, I honestly thought we were going to kill one another (we are
also having tandem Pluto/Mars transits and Pluto is conjunct our
composite North Node). Now, my husband's attention to detail ends up
churning out some marvelous end products...none of which he is fully
happy with. His meticulousness drives me insane. It once took him an
entire day to put in a window air conditioning unit. Me? Pop that
sucker in; close the window; throw away the random “extra parts”;
turn it on...DONE! What do you mean there isn't supposed to be a gap
between the thing and the window frame? It appears to be working to
me!
The first day we were painting during
our remodel, I dripped paint on a light switch. No biggie. It was
latex paint and, when I'm painting, I always carry a little damp rag
to wipe up my mess (My Virgo Venus has learned to prepare for the
mindless typhoon my Moon/Neptune can be). But, to the Virgo
Mercury/Pluto parts of my husband this was nothing less than a
transgression against the God's themselves. Or at least that is what
I gathered from his reaction.
Needless to say, my lack of
meticulousness completely irks his tendency to obsess. To balance it,
I added a little Neptune...since I have plenty...and NO I didn't get
him drunk. I reminded him we were making memories not trying to be
perfect. And, we were making memories alright. We were making
memories of the time “Mom and Dad remodeled the house. Dad
disappeared and Mom got a new flower bed.”
I had to give too. You know? I couldn't
expect my husband to just undo who he is. I had to temper my lack of
attention and be a little more aware. Wasn't an easy road for either
of us to bend around. But we are finished with two rooms. They aren't
perfect but we are both still breathing. Plus, we've had some fun
along the way.
That's basically how you balance any
polarity whether in your chart or by transit. You appeal to each side
with their common goal in mind. Hold your Mars/Pluto goal at the
forefront and then allow Mercury in Virgo to point out the details
while you allow the edges of your restrictions to blur a bit.
Remember its about the journey more so than the end product. And,
realize that it isn't going to be perfect without imperfection but it
can be perfect with imperfection.
Today there will be a “push” to get
started or get working on something with the Moon's conjunction to
Uranus. I say go for it. ESPECIALLY if there is a project that can
you finish off in a couple of days. But if this is a long term thing,
take your time. Convert today's Moon/Uranus from impulsiveness into
calm blue genius. Yeah, that's a lot harder than it sounds but
possible! How well you are grounded makes all the difference
