Pisces Moon's are weird. I
think they are especially weird this time of year. The days are
getting shorter. The dark nights of Halloween, All Saints Day and the
Day of the Dead linger in the foggy distance.
But, the point of it, I believe, was to
give us a chance to see how “the other half” lived while ALSO
giving us a chance to observe the situation (and sometimes our own
behavior) from a different point of view. Professor Jupiter has a
tendency to come up with some far out lesson plans like that.
This can also transpire by having your
words thrown back at you in an obvious and deliberate way. For
example, say you are in a court room on the witness stand and hear,
“Mr. So and So, on December whatever you sent an email to the
plaintiff stating...” Holy shit! Did you really put that in
writing?
Things are not as they appear at night.
During a waxing Pisces Moon? Well, things can really appear skewed.
This morning, our Moon entered Pisces at 5:25 AM EDT. The majority of
the morning, the Moon will be caught up in a haze through a trine
with Mercury Rx (9:06 AM) and conjunction with Neptune (1:57 PM). All
that can equate to a morning that feels like an episode of the
Twilight Zone.
Imagine, if you will, falling into a
world where all your past words came back to haunt you. The weird
thing, you know that you have spoken the exact words now being spoken
to you from someone else. But, the person speaking has never heard
you speak them. Now, as you listen to your words from years ago come
from someone else's mouth, you feel as if you are watching an old
movie reel. You remember what you were like back then. From here, you
consciously scan your life from that point forward and come back to
the conversation to continue listening to what you have to say.
Talk about some kind of weird de ja
vous. And, talk about disorienting. Yeah? But, entirely possible
during this Mercury retrograde.
Let me see if I can describe why this
would happen and illustrate of few ways it can be recognized. Jupiter
rules higher learning and wisdom. Professor Jupiter is currently
teaching a class on “self” at the University of You (Jupiter in
Leo). In the Professor's lesson plan are many tasks and challenges
which can give you insight into what makes “You” tick. This
Mercury retrograde serves as such “task,” in which, you are first
given a peek at the dark underbelly of your psyche (Mercury in
Scorpio). After you get that peek, then Mercury is going to take you
back in time to visit some ghosts of your relationships past so that
you can see how that dark underbelly affects who you partner with in
all walks of life (romance, business, etc), sometimes, without you
even being conscious of it.
In order to do that, scenarios will
emerge in which a mirror is held up for you to look at. Welcome to
the magic of Libra season where everything you see is really only a
reflection of yourself. We walk through a hall of mirrors in our
relationships and most of the time we don't even know it.
Some people saw something similar to
what can occur with this Mercury retrograde during Mars long' passage
through Libra earlier this year. In Mars' case, some people
experienced the “shoe being on the other foot” in various
situations. For example, if one person had always been the financial
provider for the family while the other partner had always stayed
home to take care of business there, then during Mars in Libra those
roles may have been switched either temporarily or permanently. I
watched these role reversals happen quite a bit during Mars in Libra.
It. Was. Weird.
But, the point of it, I believe, was to
give us a chance to see how “the other half” lived while ALSO
giving us a chance to observe the situation (and sometimes our own
behavior) from a different point of view. Professor Jupiter has a
tendency to come up with some far out lesson plans like that.
Now, we are looking at Mercury which
does change things a little bit. But, the hall of mirrors in Libra
still exists. For this planet, though, we are going to experience our
words and thoughts being reflected back to us so that we may learn
and observe while attending University of You (Jupiter in Leo). What
we do or do not do with the information we receive, is up to us. The
point, as I mentioned before (if you happen to witness something like
this) is to learn how our shadow (and Saturn is still in Scorpio)
affects who and how we partner (NN in Libra).
Libra is our lovers and others which
includes business partners, coworkers, enemies and our relationship
with every other being and thing on Earth including ourselves.
Knowing how our psyche and our brain may trip us up on the path to
partnership can assist us in not only being a better partner
ourselves, but also help us more consciously choose a better partner.
Consciously choosing a partner is kinda key in forming a relationship
with any kind of potential at all.
Situations to learn from can be as
simple as speaking to someone else who is in a very similar situation
you were in at sometime in your past. They may use the same words you
did when you were in the situation. You will likely feel disoriented
and a bit “Whoa..what's happening here” if you recognize this
occurring. But, if it does happen, pay very close attention to every
detail while learning and observing all you can.
This can also transpire by having your
words thrown back at you in an obvious and deliberate way. For
example, say you are in a court room on the witness stand and hear,
“Mr. So and So, on December whatever you sent an email to the
plaintiff stating...” Holy shit! Did you really put that in
writing?
Or, someone may throw your words back
at you by saying, “You said you would never blah, blah, blah! BUT
YOU DID! Why would you say that if you didn't mean it?!” Yeah. Why
did you do that?
Ahhh fun times. You know? But, YAY,
learning opportunities! Right? Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
Believe it or not, if you glean
information from these weirdo encounters, it can be quite freeing. I
mean, no one wants to be unconsciously held prisoner by their
personal demons, right? But, it can also be quite painful to crawl
through some of the past scenarios that this retrograde may dredge
up.
Speaking of possible dredging up of
illusive pain, overnight, the Moon links up a Yod between Chiron in
Pisces, Jupiter in Leo and the Sun in Libra. Jupiter is waxing out of
inconjunct to Chiron. However, the Sun (and eventually, Venus) is
just now waxing in. The Moon comes by and acts as a link to bring the
Yod together while Jupiter is still within orb. That means how you
handle your emotions through any emergence of Chiron is going to be
kinda important. You can roar and go off all self-righteously
pointing fingers of blame at everyone around you. But, I promise that
really isn't going to alleviate your pain. It would be like drinking
acid to cure your broken leg. Makes no sense.
You can get drunk or high and try to
escape the pain. It's still going to be there when you come down. Or,
you can surrender to the fact that there is pain and accept it while
attempting to operate within the confines of “handicap” in such a
way that helps you instead of making the situation around you even
worse by wounding others. Each path holds its own consequence. And,
at the University of You, you get to choose.
Aspects of the day:
Mars trine Uranus at midnight
Moon enters Pisces at 5:25 AM
Moon trine Mercury 9:06 AM
Moon conjunct Neptune 1:57 PM
Moon sextile Pluto 11:20 PM
Yod with Moon/Sun/Jupiter forms
overnight
Jupiter is waxing out of inconjunct to
Chiron while Sun/Venus wax in. This Yod with Sun/Venus/Chiron/Jupiter
will be in effect during the eclipse. In the meantime, there is a
kite formed with the Moon/Mars/Uranus and Jupiter with Moon/Uranus
opposite Sun/Venus at the eclipse. Moon/Uranus is the pivot point
that creates a slingshot, of sorts. Can be volatile and painful OR it
can be ridiculously freeing and ultimately rewarding. It all depends
on how accurately you are aiming and at what.
Moon inconjunct Venus 538 PM
Moon inconjunct Sun 224 AM on 10/6
Moon conjunct Chiron 422 AM 10/6
Moon inconjunct Jupiter 847 AM 10/6
