Our Moon in Pisces offers us a day of
relaxation, restoration and possible rejuvenation. You know I love it
when the Universe lines up to provide for a peaceful Sunday. This one
has that potential. Early this morning, the Moon meets the Sun in
Scorpio by trine (4:10 AM). By 6:45 AM, she is fortified by a sextile
to Pluto in Capricorn. Then, at 7:57 AM, the Moon and Venus are
dancing via trine. Around 10:00 AM, the Moon meets Chiron by
conjunction.
You know, I'm looking at the
astrological symbol for the Moon, conjunct and Chiron. The symbol for
a conjunction looks like a stick pin. Of course, Chiron in Pisces is
our collective wounding. The Moon represents our personal emotional
body. For a little while, Moon and Chiron are thumb tacked together
in the sky. While that Moon is in Pisces (and in contact with so many
water bodies, I might add), we are all temporarily empathic. Those
who are empathic normally, will certainly feel the uptick in the
feels. But, do you know what happens when you put a chironic stick
pin in a water moon? Water leaks out. Sometimes this occurs like a
bursting of a water balloon. If you can picture that.

I was talking to a very dear friend of
mine the other night. We were discussing the wildness in her life and
the wildness in my life and came to the conclusion that “What the
actual fuck” is a mentality that has been permeating the atmosphere
for the majority of October. At minimum, for the last two weeks and
since the eclipse in Scorpio, many have experienced several different
things occurring at once. First, the eclipse acted almost like a
poultice drawing inner poisons to the surface on both a personal and
a collective level. Pallas being involved in that eclipse and still
transiting Scorpio has a lot to do with that. Again, Pallas in
Scorpio or in aspect to Pluto or in the 8th house can cut
through surface appearances and peer deeply into the psyche
pinpointing the behavior patterns that permeate our waking life and
their sources.
In the grand scheme of things on a
personal level, this is a good thing, though, it is anything but fun
in the immediate. It allows us to recognize and view what hidden ugly
may be steering us without our knowledge. But, when those poisons are
drawn out, we still have to deal with the emotionality attached to
them which is often quite severe. So, we had that going on in
ourselves and in the world.
Then, we had the shift of Mercury
turning direct and Mars moving into Capricorn at the end of the
month. People seriously were ready to get down to business. Then, as
Mercury shifted while in aspect to Jupiter, things sped up giving us
a chance to do just that. At the same time, Mercury was hovering in
station right around the North Node. He passed over the NN on
Halloween right before perfecting in his third sextile to Jupiter in
Leo, yesterday. Of course, this means that Jupiter in Leo is also
within orb of a sextile to our NN in Libra. That sextile continues to
tighten as I type this.
Those two events put together looks a
lot like a big gaping hole being ripped open in our consciousness
followed by a quick switch in direction that works to jettison us
into our future sometimes equating to a complete about face. With
Mars in Capricorn, we were driven to work diligently to keep up with
all of this and a lot of it felt like a huge whirlwind. Many found
themselves plucked from long standing situations and suddenly plopped
down in new lands much like Dorothy was plucked from Kansas and
plopped down in Oz. Within those events, there was a sense of newness
that was also veiled by a feeling of de ja vu as past events echoed
through the present. It was quite disorienting, busy, painful and
revelatory. In those rare breaks in events where we given brief
opportunities to breathe, many inhaled deeply and exhaled with
“whaaaaaaat the actual fuck is going on here?” But, those moments
were brief and we were all called back to duty quickly being given
little time to really stop and think about what was happening.

Finally, a more extended break came on
Friday and Saturday. We momentarily stepped out of the tornado and
off the rollercoaster. This gave us a chance to kind of touch base
with the people still close within our spheres and begin to attempt
to wrap our brains around what all has occurred. There was certainly
emotionality in those busy days. There just wasn't any time to deal
with it. Mars' sextile to Neptune (perfected yesterday) is giving us
an opportunity to slow down momentarily, taking a brief break from
our work and ambition to see exactly how all of this has affected us
on an emotional level. Today, the continued break in the action and
the prevalence of water could very well provide for watersheds and
emotional purging.
The pace of the day is slow. The drive
and ambition of the day is softened. That gives us time to deal with
those emotions we were forced to put on the back burner as we dealt
with everything happening at once. It gives us a chance to withdraw
and assess what kind of toll has been taken on our physical body.
Sometimes, when a series of events happen quickly, it can take a toll
on a person's immune system making them more susceptible to illness.
So, some will find themselves in need of rest, medication and fluids
this weekend. But, whether you are physically ill or just now waking
up out of the “shock” of recent events, the suggestion for the
day is the same. Take the day to take care of yourself. Rest. Dream.
Cry. Transcend. But DO NOT ignore this call to take the time to delve
in and deal with this stuff. It is not a long standing opportunity as
the pace will pick back up as the Moon enters Aries on Monday
evening.
When I think of this day, I see whales.
Whale energy, to me, represents the huge leviathans of our watery
subconscious. These enormous creatures often linger at the very
deepest parts of the ocean in darkness and silence. Today certainly
brings opportunity to feel the movements of these massive inner
beasts. The ripples they produce are undeniable. Meaning, there is a
lot going on in our emotional bodies that surely needs our attention
rather than our avoidance.
The thing is, with the energy of Whale
accessible to us, we are given opportunity to view what exists in
those dark depths in a safe manner. It's as if we are 20,000 leagues
under the sea with a very strong thick skin encased around us for
protection. The things we see may be scary but they cannot really get
to us as we peer through the eyes of the whale. Without a call to
defense and without ambition toward battle, we can view what lies
below and attempt to process it. Momentarily, the emergent situations
subside and, when that happens, the emotions of the situation rise.
As the day moves forward the Moon
creates inconjuncts to both Mercury in Libra (1:04 AM) and Jupiter in
Leo (10:13 PM). There will also be an inconjunct to our NN in Libra
immediately prior to this. The Finger of God lands on our Pisces
Moon. How we deal with the leviathan becomes very, very important in
terms of our future and our ability to peer into it.
That energy is overlaid deeper into the
AM hours of tomorrow with a trine from the Moon to Saturn in Scorpio
at 4:06 AM which is quickly followed by a trine from Venus to Chiron
at 6:27 AM Monday morning. Those two incoming aspects along with the
Yod should show you the importance of dealing with your emotional
body today. It could mark the difference between being able to heal
our hearts and shore up our boundaries or being absolutely drug under
water or swamped. This is no small thing. Whales are NOT small
things.
Put simply, take the time you need
today to care for the softer parts of you. Be proactive in processing
any emotions that you had to set to the side within our recent
emergent situations. Take efforts to care for your physical body and
put measures in place to help restore your immune system as locked up
emotions can certainly deplete this part of us. Ignoring the whale
will not make it go away. He keeps swimming and stirring up the
deeper waters of ourselves. The window to attend to him is very
small. But, the efforts taken in settling and exploring those depths
certainly pay off in the long run. Otherwise we carry these whales on
our backs while we try to navigate the brashness of our incoming Moon
in Aries. It isn't easy fighting battles under the weight of a
leviathan. And, yes, there will be more battles to come. This is not
over yet.
Give yourself and others space as we
all process “what the actual fuck” and YES you CAN be a little
more than selfish (and should be) in the efforts you take to restore,
purge and replenish. I promise you will be glad you did and regretful
if you do not.
