Over the next couple of days, at least,
Mercury Rx in Libra reaches for our attention. Tomorrow, he will meet
the Sun via conjunction and Mars in Sagittarius by sextile. Then, on
Thursday, he backs up to meet with Venus. Keep your information
centers open and ready to log any intel Mercury may send your way
during these meetings. Mercury will retrace these degrees. After he
turns direct, he chases the Sun and Venus until meeting up with both
of them again. He finds the Sun in Sagittarius (around 8-9 degrees)
at the first of December. He doesn't catch Venus until they are both
in Aquarius (11 degrees) in the middle of January. Though, he comes
really close during their mutual trek through Capricorn at the end of
December.

This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Cancer and under the possibly tense umbrella of a Last Quarter Moon
(3:13 PM). Last Quarter Moons are not typically as tense as First
Quarter Moons which occur as the Moon is building. Last Quarters
occur under a waning Moon. They are not for building. They are for
releasing. In this instance (Cancer vs Libra) we are looking at
roots, core emotions, family and home versus relationships, justice,
the principles of fairness and the enemies we know about. Yes, Libra
is about our relationships with everything even our known enemies.
Before we reach the last quarter, the
Sun dances with Mars in Sagittarius by sextile (3:20 AM). This is a
nice aspect that can lend motivation toward self-expression. It can
widen your sense of self and prepare you to act. Even though this
perfects overnight, it will hang with us throughout the day. Start
off on the right foot and you can make a lot of progress.
Emotionally, there is a sense of
stability available to anchor any activity you may have in mind. We
need that anchor, too (Moon trine Saturn at 2:36 PM), because,
without it, the other more tense Moon aspects could cause a potential
washout.
Want and need butt heads (Moon square
Venus 9:46 AM) and could have us working to compromise with ourselves
while knowing “You can't have it all.” But, you may be able to
finagle your way to having some of it with the stability of Saturn
backing you up.
Overall, though, it looks as if ego
(Sun) and what we want (Venus) are working strongly together while
our emotional bodies are picking up on clues that something is just
not right. Remember, ego (Sun) is in fall. Keep that lion in check
and look to the energy of the planets that are well placed.
The Moon is at home in Cancer. Here she
has strong intuitive inklings that often manifest through emotion.
Venus is at home in Libra. Here, she can make agreements where
normally agreements cannot be made. That being said, these are not
agreements made at gunpoint. Ok? They are amicable, soft and bear in
mind the best accommodations for both parties. BUT, if you find your
gut churning while you are following your appreciation for
partnership, step back. Your intuitive body may be picking up on
something that your physical body is not seeing yet. Mercury is still
retrograde. All the logical information is not in yet. Do NOT go
against your intuition. This isn't a race even if Sun/Mars may make
it feel like it is.
Our Cancer Moon squares off with Libra
energy again with a square to Mercury Rx at 7:27 PM. Realize that
even though these exact aspects are sprinkled across the day, this
tension between Cancer and Libra energy will be persistent for the
duration.
Another way this can play out is we
feel clingy but our partner wants to leave home and explore, spend
the evening with friends or just get out of the house in general
(Sun, Venus, Mercury all within orb of a sextile to Mars). Or, it
could occur the other way around. Maybe you are the partner that
wants to get out and shake some dust off but your other wants to stay
home and certainly doesn't want you to go because, “I'm making a
special dinner!” she wails. It can also equate to a need to protect
our children as we believe they may be hanging out with the wrong
crowd or, even, to protect them from facing justice over their past
actions. There's an aggressive cop, politician, teacher or preacher
at the door (Mars in Sagittarius). Moon in Cancer pretends no one is
home.
It could be that our family does not
approve of our selection of partners, too. That happens a lot. Either
way, Moon in Cancer doesn't “Get” the drive to go out and explore
and broaden one's horizons that comes from Mars in Sagittarius. These
two meet today by inconjunct. Moon in Cancer is fine with its known
creature comforts. Mars in Sagittarius is suffocated by them. He
strives for adventure and exploration. Whereas our Cancer Moon can be
overwhelmed by those possibilities and can get lost in the
expansiveness of Sagittarius.
If you have personal planets between 20
and 24 Aquarius, this inconjunct between Mars and the Moon will
create a Yod in your chart. Mars works amicably with your Aquarian
planets via sextile. Then, together, they both point at the Moon
putting great importance on how you feel about the whole ordeal. The
key will be to really dig deeply into your emotional body and sort
things out. Don't expect it to be easy. Remember, the Moon's other
square offs of the day. She could feel like all the energy in the sky
is ganging up on her.
One of the big problems with Cancer
versus Libra energy, is that neither one of them are direct. You
know? Libra will hint and allude to what it wants instead of telling
you outright. Cancer will approach things sideways. That on top of
Mercury Rx tells me that spoken or written information may not be
reliable. Again, the key falls on being able to interpret your
intuition and navigate your emotional body as you read the language
that goes on underneath the words (non-verbal communication). People
are prone to attempt to smooth things over by telling you what they
think you want to hear.
Don't listen to what is being told to
you. Instead, watch what actions are taken because therein lies the
truth. All the while, keep a check on yourself. Are you the one
trying to make yourself more comfortable by providing lip service to
what you think others want to hear?
My Dad (multiple planets in Aries) used
to tell me (multiple planets in Libra) he didn't want to hear my
apologies. He wanted me to show him I was remorseful by changing my
actions. Lip service only goes so far. And, Libra knows ALL ABOUT lip
service and thinking about doing things. Apologies mean nothing if
the person doesn't change their actions to prevent the impasse from
re-occurring. People will often show you what their true motivations
are through their actions. Give more credence to a person's
non-verbal cues and actions right now than to what they are telling
you. And, through it all, be very mindful of your own intuitive
responses.
Either way, know this is not the time
to just speak your truth. Now is the time to walk your truth (Mars in
Sagittarius). The road to Hell doesn't need anymore paving stones.
Some of this even echoes the news we have had coming out of Missouri
lately. Coincidentally (not), Missouri is nicknamed the “Show me”
state.
After her square off with Mercury (7:27
PM), the Moon rests. SHEW! What a day! She is Void until entering Leo
at 6:30 tomorrow morning.
