This morning we awake to an ever
darkening Moon in Leo. Her first job is to check in with Mars in
Sagittarius (6:41 AM EDT). This trine occurs at 3 degrees and 43
minutes of fire. Mars is a mere 2 degrees away from perfecting in
square to Neptune.
Normally with a Moon in trine to Mars,
it is easy to get motivated. However, with Mars waxing into square
with Neptune and the Moon waxing into an inconjunct with Neptune
(10:32 AM), drive may be a bit of an elusive thing.
One concept I like to remember when
dealing with Mars and Neptune is that you cannot fist fight the King of
the Seas. He throws wave upon wave upon wave upon you. Punching at
them is fruitless. You can swing your arms in defense and fight and
struggle all you want. Eventually, your body will tire and those
waves will drag you under until you are forced to stop fighting and,
instead, surrender and release.
Surrender and release are ridiculously
hard for some. Especially those of us with heavy Pluto and/or
Cardinal energies. But, when Neptune is involved control and the ability
to forcefully direct anything become elusive.
HOWEVER, once you relax into the
rhythms of the waves and allow them to carry you, you can then use
your body to propel you forward much like a swimmer or even a
motorboat. You can still move, but moving in the water is much
different than moving on the Earth.
In water, there is resistance and flow
to deal with. Once you conquer surrendering to that, once you give up
fighting the natural flow, then it is possible to steer yourself in
the direction you wish to go...even if you may need to move sideways
(working with the tides) to get there.
If you continue to thrash and wail in
fear or in an effort to control the tides (which you cannot do) then
Neptune will sit patiently until all the fight has left your body
weak and subsequently swallow you up. Guess what? You end up floating
either way...either lifeless and exhausted or ready to swim.
Our Leo Moon spends most of the day
sitting at the top of a Yod created between Pluto in Capricorn and
Neptune/Chiron in Pisces.
Pluto and Neptune have been working
together via sextile for ages. Right now, Pluto is tearing down old
structures within our physical world that no longer serve us. Neptune
is bringing forward waves of emotion and compassion while Chiron in
Pisces is showing that not only are we connected through Universal
Love, but also through our collective pain. With all of these
entities coming into contact with a Moon in Leo, we may see exactly
how this Pluto/Neptune/Chiron stuff is affecting us on a personal
level and how it may be affecting our children.
These are fairly deep and disturbing
energies affecting our playful Leo Moon who (when in trine to Mars)
wants so badly to move forward.
I will also remind you we are in a
waning moon phase. We are still releasing and shedding as we move
toward our New Moon in Libra that occurs next week. One good way to
purge/release during a Leo Moon is to use the emotions that are
brought forth to create. Put those “inner demons” into a medium
through art (painting, writing, collage). Then, you can burn them if
you wish to purge them from your system.
The main thing, however, is to give in
or surrender to how you feel. Don't try to fight it. Express it in a
productive way and then let it go.
