Today is Thursday, the day of Jupiter
(and Thor). And, it lives up to its name because Jupiter energy is
prevalent. We wake up the Moon in Leo leaving a square with Mercury
in Scorpio (2:59 AM). The morning is fairly innocuous but the energy
of Mars square Uranus is still in effect.
At 1:04 PM, the Finger of God begins to
appear in the sky with an inconjunct forming between the Moon and
Pluto in Capricorn. How we've changed (or not) during Pluto's transit
and how we have played a part in revolutionizing our current world,
shows us who we really are. From here, the Moon also forms
inconjuncts to Mars in Capricorn and Chiron in Pisces between 4:03 PM
and 5:28 PM. Are you working diligently to help humanity heal? Or are
you working continually to take advantage of those in less powerful
positions than you?
As the Yod reaches prominence, the Moon
in Leo also makes a trine to Uranus in Aries giving temporary force
back to the square between Mars and Uranus. The world is working
toward revolution and reform. What is your role in that? Because, we
all have one.
None of this energy is particularly
heavy. It's more electrified than anything. Have you ever watched one
of those bouncy castles inflate? Yeah, on a personal level it can be
a lot like that. And, what it calls for us to do is to recognize
those things in our emotional body that come forth like automatic
responses that were embedded in us possibly as children. You may
notice little things...like an initial reaction of prejudice toward a
certain race, an immediate response of negativity in response to a
woman asserting herself, sneering or ridiculing someone for their
lifestyle choice or some other type of pre-conditioned response that
we just automatically turn to without really thinking things through.
There's no room for these mentalities in our world anymore. But,
getting rid of them is not like flipping a switch.
Some of these mentalities were
inherited from our parents and our grandparents. Even if you do not
recognize yourself as a misogynist, racist or sexist sometimes the
skeletons of our ancestry remains in our subconscious and sneaks out.
This Yod is our opportunity to recognize some of those lingering
pieces of garbage in our psyche that trip us up and make no sense in
our modern world. In caveman days, we acted like cavemen. In the
1920's, we acted like people living in the 1920's. This is 2014. It's
time to act like the advanced intelligent civilization we are and
eradicate ourselves of the chains (and mentalities) from our
collective past.
That being said, is everyone going to
do this? No. But, my ambition is to gather readers who want to work
with the energies at hand to be better individuals that contribute to
a better world. I do feel that the majority of my audience is trying
to live consciously. So, who cares what your neighbor does. Our job
is to model, transform, renew and strengthen ourselves. Most people
(especially those who do not study or follow Astrology) will have no
idea the Moon is even in Leo let alone creating Yods in the sky. This
isn't a forceful type of energy that the populace would normally
notice. But, the Finger of God will still be pointing at the Moon as
if a checkpoint is being made in the Heavens whether people are
paying attention or not. That checkpoint is to assess the progress
we've made thus far. It occurs on an individual emotional level, so
your progress report is only shared between you and God (Jupiter,
Thor, Zeus, Goddess, The Divine...feel free to enter your own
description of divinity here. Doesn't matter what you call it. It's
all the same energy but people do spend a lot of time wrestling over
which name should be used. Yeah. Talk about missing the forest for
the trees.)
At any rate, this Yod measures your
progress toward personal, social and global revolution and reform. So
any malformed mentalities or outdated tendencies of our ancestry
should be deliberately discarded...shed, like a layer of snakeskin.
As the Yod dissipates, the Sun perfects
in square to Jupiter in Leo. This energy has been waxing in for
awhile. The perfection occurs at 10:06 PM but can be found overlaying
this day. The more malefic expression of Jupiter square the Sun is
outrageous self-aggrandizement. A person can allow their ego to
become over-inflated and this aspect can create a the mentality of
either a superhero or super villain. In truth, we don't really want
to aim for either of those extremes. The energy of Sun square Jupiter
metered out appropriately, makes us feel better about ourselves. It
can bring joy, optimism and a sense of fulfillment. The trick is not
to take that joy, optimism and sense of fulfillment and let it boil
over causing us to behave like pompous assholes. Aim for generosity
instead of greedily snatching up resources in fear that you live in a
world that will never supply your needs. Aim for humility and be
humbled by the blessings of the Heavens instead of self-righteously
proclaiming that you deserve more or better. Allow this aspect to
bring warmth to a potentially frigid and stoic Pluto ruled Sun.
Generously share your story and what you have learned about yourself
in the past few months in an effort to connect with others not to set
yourself apart as better than everyone else. Come into a sense of
your own power and be awed by it but also be humbled as you recognize
the divinity within you too. That is what the highest expression of
this energy calls for.
At the same time, realize you may meet
some self-righteous preachers, some overbearing teachers and, simply,
be shown exactly who in our world is not willing to shed these
outdated mentalities. They will show themselves today. Realize that
is their decision and continue modeling the truth instead of allowing
yourself to turn self-righteous in your attempts to persuade them.
And, lighten up a little. Be proud of the progress you've made.
Working with your shadow and excavating all this junk in your psyche
is hard freaking work! We all deserve self-acknowledgment and reward
for that.
The energy of Sun square Jupiter
persists through tomorrow as harsher aspects wax in between our
remaining planets in Scorpio (Venus and Saturn) and the Moon in Leo.
Plus, the tension of the Last Quarter Moon is present. Today serves
as a set up for that. The more effectively you wrangle the subtleties
of the day, the better prepared you will be for the harshness that
may settle upon us tomorrow.
Welcome to checkpoint EGO. Will you
model the philandering, womanizing, selfish, smart ass qualities of
Jupiter? Or will you be wearing his coat of benevolence? Today is
most certainly all about YOU.
