This morning we wake up to a busy Moon
in Gemini. Most of the day the Moon is wonderfully supported. But,
there is a square with Chiron in Pisces (1:11 PM) to contend with
first. This can manifest as a need to be social versus a need to stay
home and recuperate from an illness. Externally it could equate to
the social butterfly butting heads against someone who is heartsick
and wants to hear nothing about re-entering the social arena.
The combination of Air and Fire in the
sky today bring an atmosphere of lightness and activity. It would be
a great evening to spend with friends enjoying a movie, music or
sporting event. Not many will want to talk of deep subjects or world
events. People will likely want to just have a good time and relax.
According to George, Psyche is one half
of a pair of Minor Asteroids. Her partner is Eros. Together they
represent the polarity of The Lovers. Sappho is also one half of a
pair with the other half being Amor. This pair represents the
polarity of Empaths. It does appear that the Psyche and Sappho are
working together right now. However, their partners are in a tight
square from Capricorn (Eros) to Libra (Amor). Venus has had
interplay with all four of them in our recent history. Her orb of
contact with them is now waning.
After the square to Chiron perfects,
the Moon is lifted up by the Fire and Air elements in the sky. She
spends most of the day in a Grand Air Trine with Sun/Venus in Libra
and Sappho/Psyche in Aquarius. She is also lifted up by mutual
sextiles to Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries while opposing Mars in
Sagittarius. This creates a kite with the Moon at the apex in the
later hours of today.
The Fire Trine is still in effect with
only 4 degrees separating Mars from Uranus and 3 degrees separating
Mars from Jupiter.

Also with the Fire and Air in play, it
would be an excellent night for a revival whether you spend it at a
local church or have your own right in your own home. Air/Fire can
whip Spirit right up through prayer. Therefore, it is an excellent
night for meditation, bonfires (carefully contained) and, my
favorite, dancing into delirium under a waning Moon. The basic
indication here is is to get out and shake some of the dust off.
Tides of emotion will rise again when the Moon enters Cancer tomorrow
night.
The Air trine involving Venus/Sun,
Psyche/Sappho and the Moon is particularly interesting. Currently
Psyche and Sappho are conjunct in Aquarius between 9 and 10 degrees.
These two will remain within orb of a conjunction all the way through
the rest of October. According to Demetra George's book Asteroid
Goddesses, Psyche and Sappho are transformers of Venus. They assist
Venus to reach out toward the principles of her higher octave,
Neptune.

of a pair of Minor Asteroids. Her partner is Eros. Together they
represent the polarity of The Lovers. Sappho is also one half of a
pair with the other half being Amor. This pair represents the

George describes Psyche as “the
higher expression of Venus, expressing a refinement of personal love
and psychic attunement to another. Through following the path of
Psyche, conscious relationship provides a path to spiritual
illumination.” Please notice that she cites CONSCIOUS relationship
not haphazard.
Sappho is described as a “capacity
for romantic and and artistic sensitivity.” George slates Sappho as
“a poetess who, while living on the island of Lesbos, presided over
a woman's academy of fine arts where she composed love poetry and
lyrical verse.” Sappho wrote of the “intimate, personal feelings
of yearning, desolation, jealousy and rapture.” George goes on to
say, “Sappho taught of the need to love both men and women and to
honor the healing power of love in whatever form it presents itself.”
Sappho puts no moral judgment on love.
And, that kind of made her unpopular with people who DO put moral
judgment on love and believe that relationships should be beholden to
certain rules (monogamy, marriage = man + woman only, and so forth).
Sappho, however, maintains that the heart wants what the heart wants
and no one should be restricted from it. I'm inclined to agree with
her.
Together, Psyche and Sappho bring an
air of sensuality, knowing, and refinement to the sign of Aquarius.
With Sun/Venus lodged in the sign of partnering, this could bring
wonderful ideations about the concept of love. Reading about it,
talking about it, pining over it, yearning for it and aaaaaaaaaah,
well, you know, it IS Libra Season. AKA that time of year where we
get all swept up in finding someone to hibernate with in the Northern
Hemisphere or get twitterpated with in anticipation of Spring in the
Southern Hemisphere. All the while, we are in love with the idea of
love never realizing how messy things can get until we move into
Scorpio season. Yeah. It's a lot like that.
Oh, let your heart flutter a bit. I
just can't advise you not too as I can certainly think of worse
distractions. Just don't let the lingering square between Venus and
Pluto prompt you to get all stalkerish with it.
