This morning we wake up to a
pressurized waning Moon in Libra. The sixth square from Uranus to
Pluto perfected overnight at 1:48 AM. The Moon's first aspect is an
inconjunct to Neptune at 9:11 AM. The first thing I saw when I
contemplated that aspect was a wild dog sniffing the air for danger.
We very well could pick up on the scent of something wafting in. The
air is certainly riddled with crackling anticipation. Some may even
be experiencing near PTSD like symptoms.
By 11:37 AM, the Moon is in square to
Venus in Capricorn. This isn't a horribly harsh aspect. But, it does
involve the Moon's current ruler. Sometimes the conflict between
Capricorn and Libra involves the fact that Libra wants to work as a
team. She doesn't always want a set leader but prefers a
co-rulership. There are times, though, that call for individual
leadership whether we want to take on those roles or not. With this
aspect, we may need our “team” but we also need to step forward
and lead that team or pay heed to our personal boundaries and ensure
that the team's efforts fall in line with our personal doctrine of
values. This is not the day to go along to get along. And, that could
be uncomfortable for our current Moon.
Lady Luna does strike a nice stride at
3:57 PM through a sextile with Mars in Aquarius. Libra Moon can fall
right in line with peaceful protests held for the purpose of bringing
people together and creating positive social change. Yes. She can
certainly get behind that!
Pressure continues to increase, though,
as the evening moves forward and the Moon waxes in closer to Uranus
by opposition (12:08 AM) and Pluto (12:12 AM) by square creating a
powerful Cardinal t-square. People with personal planets at
mid-degrees of Cancer (10-15) will experience this as a full blown
Cardinal Cross. This pressure is likely to hang with us through the
night and into tomorrow as the Moon remains active in Libra until
midnight on the 17th.
Here's the thing. Libra likes for
things to be amicable. True enough. She likes to put up a positive
front and has a tendency to put on her “nice” face when
experiencing personal turmoil. But, in the face of perceived
injustice and inequity, that pretty little mask falls to the floor.
If it is not fair, Libra is pissed. Or at the very least,
uncomfortable.
Let's say we are amongst friends and
only starting to discuss the happenings of the world amongst our
social circle. In light of that, we discover that some of our friends
have deeply seeded racist thoughts that we were not aware of before.
As we discover this, do we call our friend out on it? Or do we keep
our mouths shut? This is a real struggle for Libra. She doesn't like
strife and conflict. But, at the same time, she doesn't like this
neanderthal bullshit either.
Still using this scenario as an
example, we could have someone with lingering racist attitudes who
discovers them while amongst friends who are speaking about all the
injustice in the world that has been fostered by such attitudes. The
peer pressure from the group to drop these outdated mentalities could
prompt someone toward positive change. Still uncomfortable...but a
worthy discomfort that can prompt a person to change for the better.
Peer pressure is a “thing” on
either side of this. How well do you handle that?
This energy also holds the potential
for exploding relationships. Meaning partnerships in which one person
is steered toward positive change while the other person adamantly
remains stagnant could break apart at this time. But, at the SAME
time, new progressive and wildly powerful alliances can be birthed at
this time too. We may see new leaders emerge who are working for
peace and global amicability. We may also see leaders emerge who look
to perpetuate the conflict in efforts toward their own personal gain.
We may also see new efforts toward repairing public relations from a
lot of different entities. Some of it will be mere damage control.
Some of it, though, will be in a true effort to help foster positive
change. We may be wise to some of the stuff that goes on just for
appearances sake. But, time will certainly show who lives up to their
lip service and who doesn't in that realm. It will be up to the
public to hold such entities to their promises through the
established “court of public opinion.”
Here's the thing about the “court of
public opinion.” It's going to hold a particular weight as Saturn
moves into Sagittarius. It's like public peer pressure aimed toward
our government, political, legal and news entities and it will hold
these entities accountable for a lot of things. Perceived injustices
perpetrated by these entities (and others who hold public influence)
will be tried and judged in the streets by the public at large. What
we are seeing now is only a prelude of what is yet to come.
We are the people, man. And we are
finding out exactly what that means and what kind of power we have as
that entity. As the public sways, public officials and entities in
leadership positions also have to sway. We are not just “slaves to
the system.” As individuals, we are all important cogs in the
wheels of that system. If the wheels stop turning, the machine has to
adjust or face immobility. Do you see? It's a process. Not a
comfortable process by any means. But, a process all the same.
