Morning Star: Daily Astrology for August 7 2014

Early this morning, our Moon in Sagittarius is void. At 9:39 AM EDT, she crosses into Capricorn.


 

Moon in Capricorn is industrious. It needs to work. It needs to feel that it is being responsible. It needs structure and a workable plan.

Tonight, though, our industrious Moon meets Mars in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces as they perfect in trine. Mars locks into trine with Neptune in Pisces at 8:14 AM. Moon meets Neptune by sextile at 8:44 PM and Mars by sextile at 9:15 PM.

I think the Sabians for Mars and Neptune reveal the most about what is happening here. These two meet at half past 6 degrees water. For 7 Scorpio, (Mars) the Sabian is Deep Sea Divers. For Neptune at 7 Pisces, the Sabian is A cross lying on the rocks.

For the Scorpio, Blain Bovee (in the link up there) says the theme is “in deep” and that it indicates that fore warnings fall upon deaf ears. At the very end of his article, though, he says “extreme positions in any direction can lead to regret.” I am going to have to agree with that statement. But, also, I take the Sabian a bit more literally. If you ARE a deep sea diver, you don't move very quickly. You bubble around slowly. Submerging and re-emerging takes time. The water and its weight keep you from moving quickly and everything is dark. Quiet. Its so quiet and the pressure outside of your body is so great, you can hear your heart beating. You can hear your thoughts sparking in your brain. You can feel the depth and that changes your overall perception.

Then, for Pisces 7, the sabian takes us above surface to find a cross laying upon a rock. Bovee says this is a call to turn toward our inner guidance system. He slates the theme as “without a map.” Boy. Are we ever in THAT spot. There is no effective map for the times we are in. I keep banging this drum about doing things differently. War and violence are ineffective means of coping. How obvious is it in the world that the loss of innocent people in the face of a dispute between greedy Kings...is not worth it?

Perseus and Andromeda by Charles VanLoo
How long are we going to allow the chaos of fear to slay our people just as the mad and tumultuous seas pick up floating debris and smash them upon jagged rocks?
We feel the responsibility for our collective collateral damage today. We know we need a better plan. But first, we need to work through and heal the grief we have inflicted upon ourselves and our world. Grief must be addressed and grief accompanies EVERY type of change. Even change for the better.

What is our Moon telling us as she spears this trine between Mars and Neptune? The Sabian for 7 Capricorn is “A veiled prophet speaks seized by the power of a God.

The link embedded above will take you to a write up on the Sabian. The write up talks about a New Moon in Capricorn that occurred in 2008 at this degree...which involved Mars and Pluto.

Diver. Are you listening? What are you hearing? Your heart beat? Your thoughts racing? What are they saying to you? Quietly, they whisper, “if your hearts investment of faith leads you to kill or harm your fellow man, woman or child...then it is a lie. Bring it to the surface and allow it to be slain against the rocks. Only then will you find the truth.”

I can hear it. Can you?
