This morning we wake up to a Capricorn
Moon just leaving a square with Uranus in Aries (4:26 AM) and
conjunction with Pluto (5:52 AM). By 7:04 AM EST, she is in sextile
to Chiron in Pisces. The bigger news, however, comes from Venus in
opposition to Jupiter (8:45 AM) and Mars conjunct Neptune (7:09 PM).
Then, of course, our New Moon in Aquarius perfects in the morning.
The aspects from Venus and Mars will still be in force during that
lunar movement.
Her husband, played by Kevin Costner,
certainly didn't believe in such happenings. His character was also a
doctor who practiced in the same hospital as his wife. In that
partnership, he talked about how she was the heart of the union while
he was the logic. However, when his wife dies and begins speaking to
him through her former patients as they have these near death
experiences, well...his former non-belief system begins to melt
(seemingly along with parts of his sanity). The children are doing
nothing but speaking of their experiences. You know? They don't
realize how impactful their statements are. They don't know NOT to
believe in this type of thing. And, what they do, in the end is open
up Mr. Doctor to new possibilities held within the Universe that he
had previous discounted or not given credence too. Uncomfortable, but
in a way that also brings hope and expands the Doctor's perspective
to see...there is more. There is more than just living and dying.
There is something...beyond, even if we don't know exactly what.
Venus in Aquarius' appreciation of science and higher knowledge is
expanded and stretched in light of wisdom delivered from an ingenue.
I can tell you that under the waxing
influence of Venus opposite Jupiter, I indulged in sweets. A lot. I
had French Toast for dinner and made peanut butter cookies with
chocolate chips for dessert. That was on Saturday. I'm sure as the
aspect tightens I might be tempted to indulge more and I will likely
give in to that temptation. Know that you may be prone to indulge in
things you normally try to hold at bay too. Above and beyond that,
though, we are looking at the polarity of Aquarius and Leo. Venus in
Aquarius values brilliance, uniqueness and individuality. She is
independent when placed here and definitely does not enjoy being told
what she should like or who she should love. She can decide that for
herself, thank you very much. Venus in Aquarius can also bring forth
a rebellious heart. Plus, in some instances, this placement can
produce someone who comes across as an Ice Queen. Cold. Detached.
Distant.
Jupiter in Leo can be a joyous child.
Children say the darndest things sometimes. You know? I love it when
a child opens their mouth and unexpected wisdom falls out. Usually it
is such a simple statement that helps other pieces of information
fall into place. Usually, we decide (as adults) that the child made
these comments unaware of the simple wisdom they contained. Sometimes
I wonder if they are channeling angels...but that's just me.
Now. Lets take the Ice Queen and put
her across the room from the warmth of children laughing. She's more
comfortable in an aseptic laboratory. But, here she is mere feet away
from children playing on the floor and swapping germs like they were
trading cards. Can she overlook the potential “messiness” and
join in on the fun? Will she remain in her little isolated corner of
the room with her back against the wall almost in fear of this warmth
touching or melting her? Or, will one of the children remind her of
herself when she was younger enticing her to come up off her icy
throne and melt a little. I'm betting she melts all over the place.
And, the entire scene reminds me of the movie Dragonfly.
In this movie, there is a beautiful
lady doctor (Venus in Aquarius) who is in no way an ice queen. She
is, however, brilliant both in what she does (working with children
who have been diagnosed with cancer and also embarking on missionary
trips to foreign countries to deliver medical aid) and how she loves.
Her youthful but very ill patients adore her. In the movie, some of
the sick children had near death experiences. When they were
revitalized and recovered, they began talking about what they had
seen on “the otherside.” During her life, the doctor would listen
to these stories but the movie never revealed whether she believed in
them or not.
That's exactly the type of warmth we
can expect from today. The heart may want to melt a little. It may
want to step away from its test tubes and Bunsen burners and reach
out to a germy little kid just for a hug. She may remember the
childhood ambitions that drove her to have such an interest in
Aquarian matters and remember how to have fun. The scientist meets
with the fact that there are some things that science is not capable
of explaining right now. The Ice Queen melts even if she may be
resistant to it at first.
Then, Mars conjuncts Neptune. Remember,
our hearts have been opened, our perspective widened and we are
softened and changed in light of it. How could anyone foster a sense
of violence after all of that? Those gentle inklings are reinforced
with this conjunction. We are driven by compassion in place of
ambition. We could be melting all over the place. Mars could be
warming the waters up in the process making the whole experience
similar to floating in the primordial waters of the womb. I think all
of this sounds wonderfully mushy. But, there are some folks out there
that have become so detached from their emotional body that melting
could produce effects similar to pouring water into a computer. Some
may feel as if their circuitry is misfiring as a result. For those
folks, this concept can seem scary. Feelings?
Bleep...bloop...gurgle...does...not...compute...
Overall, though, what these aspects
bring is a softening to rough edges, hope, washing of the soul,
compassion, acts of empathy, charity and the types of tears that come
for blessed reasons. But....it all occurs under a Void Moon. After
the sextile with Chiron at 7:04 AM, the Moon is void until entering
Aquarius at 8:01 AM tomorrow. It takes awhile for all this to
percolate through our system. Then it all comes pouring out
jubilantly under the promise of a New Moon offering us a chance to
build upon this vision of hope and newness that wells up inside of us
today.
Or, maybe your kid dumped his bowl of
cheerios on your laptop and you have to buy a new one tomorrow. It
really can be that simple. I prefer the dramatics of a melting ice
queen and short circuiting robot but Jupiter in Leo can play havoc on
your cherished machinery too. And, Mars conjunct Neptune can fuel
addictions and escapist behaviors. Water, children and machinery
don't mix well. However, ice melts well under Jack Daniels and by the
end of the day, (after we've discovered that Junior has washed our
cell phone in the toilet) we may be prone to reach for it.
