I've been peering a bit into 2015 this
morning and it looks rather interesting! I've not put meaning to any
of it yet. But, March and April are definitely WOW months. March,
particularly. First, we are in a groove right now of 0 degree New
Moons followed by a series of 14 degree Full Moons. That dynamic
swings in Aquarius season as we experience 2 New Moons in the sign.
After that little hiccup, a Full Moon in any given sign will precede
the New Moon in that sign (reversed of what we have going on right
now).
A few of my references call out 2 New
Moons in Pisces instead of Aquarius. Either way, one of those
ambiguous New Moon's (whether you call it at 29 Aquarius or 0 Pisces)
occurs on February 18. The next New Moon (in Pisces) is an eclipse on
March 20 at 29 degrees. That eclipse follows a series of very
interesting aspects including the final Uranus/Pluto square on March
16th. And, there is NO New Moon in Capricorn this year. It
doesn't occur until 2016 (January 10, 2016 at 19 degrees). At the
very least, it is all very interesting and perhaps a bit overwhelming
to attempt to take in with one gulp.
Today, however, is New Year's Eve! We
are ushering 2014 out and welcoming in the tender New Year. As we
wake this morning, the Moon in Taurus is in trine with Pluto in
Capricorn (5:29 AM). We are determined with a sense of emotional
depth and grounding on the last day of this year. That determination
and fortitude is aimed at healing and overcoming as the Moon also
meets Chiron by sextile at 6:35 AM. That sextile also softens us a
bit bringing empathy and overall concern for the well being of all.
By 7:52 PM, the Moon squares off with
Mars in Aquarius (21 degrees). Mars is motivated for change and
social reform while the Moon wants to relax. But, the tension from
this aspect could temper some of the possible impulsiveness from
Mars. Taurus energy is grounded and doesn't move quickly whereas Mars
rides lightening bolts from Aquarius. Though the mix can bring forth
ambiguity, it could also keep us from acting too erratically. I'm not
saying that is comfortable. It's kind of a downer sometimes,
actually. But, it is probably safer in most instances.
By 9:05 PM, the Moon is in square to
Jupiter in Leo who is ALSO at 21 degrees and retrograde. That's a
fixed t-square folks. Mars is moving in to oppose Jupiter and the
Moon is squaring them both. Tomorrow at 2:50 PM, Mars opposite
Jupiter meets perfection just after the Moon opposes Saturn (0
degrees) from Gemini.
One of the things we need to be wary of
during our celebrations tonight is excess. We will be prone to take
in TOO MUCH and that comes back to visit (haunt) us tomorrow under
the Moon/Saturn opposition.
Saturn in Sagittarius will temper
“excess” to a degree. Gluttony gets smacked around from time to
time under this transit.
Now, what this fixed t-square is good
for on New Year's Eve is tempering the push to overdo with a bit of
common sense brought forth from the Taurus Moon. It keeps Mars in
Aquarius in opposition to Jupiter in Leo anchored. The missing leg of
this t-square is in Scorpio. That means if you have planets between
19 and 23 Scorpio, then, that planet will be involved in a fixed
cross with these planets. Eros at 22 degrees Aquarius is right in
this mix and being approached by a conjunction from Mars...which
sounds kind of sexy if you ask me.
Mars in Aquarius |
If the negative potential for Jupiter
in Leo is overconfidence and the negative potential from Mars in
Aquarius is impulsiveness with the negative potential from Taurus
Moon being stubbornness, then this fixed t-square could play out as
someone being hell bent on doing something they are SURE they can
pull off and there isn't a soul on the planet that can talk them out
of it. However, if the positive expression of Mars in Aquarius is
pioneering for social causes and the positive expression of Jupiter
in Leo is generosity and benevolence then the grounded affect from
the Moon in Taurus could foster some serious charitable donations at
the end of the year. I mean, it is a tax write-off after all and
Taurus is down with that (missing leg, Scorpio/taxes/debt/energy
exchange). It's also a great mix for gathering together to pray in
the New Year which is a tradition to some.
With Eros so close to this t-square,
whatever we are driven to do may seem particularly alluring and hard
to resist. But, keep that opposition from the Moon to Saturn waxing
in tomorrow in mind while being tempted to keep you from doing
something you may later regret. Or not. You only live once right?
LOL...sure.
Here's the thing. I want to tell you to
party like it is 1999. And, in most instances, you should...within
reason. But, keep your eyes open and be cautious in regard to what is
going on around you because even if you are expressing the higher
forms of this energy, there is some serious explosive potential in
this mix. Mars in opposition to Jupiter can also be someone pushing a
personal agenda under the guise of social activism. It could be
something connected to religious beliefs or on behalf of religious
beliefs. Plus, Demetra George describes Eros (who, as mentioned, is
right in this mix) as “representing the principle of passionate
desire. Eros was a primal phallic god born of Chaos at the beginning
of time. Embodying the masculine sexual force, he served as the
generative masculine power which brought the world into creation.”
Further, she says, “Eros functions as the higher octave of Mars.”
So, his presence here brings pressure to Mars to transform and
overcome himself by creating instead of destroying. But in that mix
is phallic drive and allurance that first must be transcended in an
effort to get to that higher octave and not everyone will go beyond
that to get there. People definitely respond differently under
pressure. Pressure is certainly present.
Eros and Psyche |
In addition to that, George says Eros
transits are good timing indicators of sexual activity. His partner,
Psyche, is in early Pisces. The positive end of that is a
transcendental love affair. The negative looks a lot like someone
unknowingly consuming a date rape drug. So, be careful and aware of
your surroundings especially if you are in a densely populated place.
Travel with a trusted partner. Personally, I'd opt for private
parties if I were geared toward going out to celebrate.
Instead of getting all twerked out of
shape due to phallic overdrive and an overblown ego, RELAX! Celebrate
safely and within reason while making good memories that could very
well last a lifetime...you know, ones you can actually remember
because you weren't too sloshed. Party like it's 1999 but Let's NOT
Go Crazy...
