This morning we wake up to an active
and potentially skittish Moon in Cancer. I say skittish because
Cancer people, particularly, Cancer Moons, are hyper aware of their
surroundings and instinctively pick up on the vibrations when
something different enters their home waters. That intuitive nature
is accessible to us all under this Moon. We may very well feel that
something is askew. We may not be able to put our finger on exactly
what it is (good, bad or indifferent) just yet. But, we know
something is out there.
At 9:16 AM Venus newly in Aquarius
meets Saturn in Sagittarius by sextile. This is a nice grounding
aspect that has the potential to soothe Cancer Moon's frayed nerves
due to an uptick in intuition or emotion.
The meat of the day is pretty calm,
actually. But there is this prickly undertone of “knowing.”
Nothing may be happening but there is an electric feel to the air. It
isn't until later tonight that the stress placed upon the Moon
reaches its maximum potential.
At 8:08 PM Mercury enters Aquarius.
This brings a shift to the way we speak to one another and how we
incorporate information. Aquarius is the scientist, the
experimentalist, the inventor, the alien, perhaps even the robot.
Mercury in Aquarius processes information much like these folks. They
methodically observe and draw conclusions based upon a measurable
result. They look to create new solutions or better solutions to old
problems. Sometimes, they talk over your head with their use of
technical terms. Sometimes, depending on the rest of the chart, they
may talk over our heads on purpose just to build upon their
established reputation of being smarter than the rest of us. These
are not the only qualities of Mercury in Aquarius. The placement has
a rainbow of potentials (including light and dark) just like any
other. But, know that our brains are shifting from a solid sense of
established rules and communication guidelines to springing outside
of that box and looking at new potentials, new ways of doing things
and is geared toward testing/experimenting with new concepts as a
whole.
Much of our sky has this Aquarian
undertone right now. This undertone includes a concern in regard to
social causes and their reform. It also includes a desire to network
in an effort to bring a variety of individuals together for
collaborative efforts to address these causes. Currently, all of our
faster moving personal planets are lodged in the sign (Mars, Venus,
Mercury).
Mercury is going to be here the
longest. He enters his shadow tomorrow and begins his retrograde in
Aquarius on January 21.
So, all day we could have this feeling
that something is off. This Aquarius energy comes in and starts
casting out logical hypotheses and theories. If something is screwy,
there must be a scientific explanation for it, right? Well, Aquarius
is inclined to believe so, yes. But, he's not going to be able to put
a logical explanation upon the feelings that Moon in Cancer feels
because our current sciences cannot really explain intuitive
feelings. Mixing science and emotion is like throwing a radio into a
bathtub. They don't mix very well.
In our befuddlement of not being able
to explain why it is we feel what we feel, intensity around those
emotions peaks. At 8:19 PM the Moon squares off with Uranus in Aries.
Then at 9:34, she opposes Pluto in Capricorn. At 10:46 she is in
trine with Chiron in Pisces. And, then, finally, the release comes
with the Full Moon in Cancer at 11:54 PM. The lights come on. The
entire outside is awash and ablaze with moonlight and we can see
exactly what has been stalking around outside. Or, can we? Moonlight
is tricky like that. Sometimes it warps our vision until we see
things that are not exactly as they appear. So be sure.
Did one of your experiments backfire?
An influx of watery emotions can short
circuit our robotic insides. Actions taken under this Full Moon can
foster change that affects the trajectory of our life. It creates a
tense Cardinal Cross that links the Sun, Moon, Pluto, Uranus and the
nodal axis. I would think in light of that many would want to be
well grounded and prepared to face these emotions so they can deal
with them and subsequently decide logically what to do in light of
them. But, that won't happen in many instances and I'm not really
sure that it is meant to happen across the board because there are
some people in need of shuffling but they lack the ability to
catalyze that shuffling on their own. So, today, could pick them up
and place them somewhere else or put them on the train that takes
them there.
This is quite a powerful Moon. It waxes
in strongly. As it perfects the release is grand...perhaps even
explosive. Either way pressure builds to subsequent release and being
on top of regulating the speed of release on that pressure valve is
important so that you don't end up huffing and puffing and blowing
your own house down. I do see some potential here for gritting of
teeth as we try to navigate that controlled explosion. But, I also
see some people just letting that sucker blow and gloriously dancing
around in the subsequent fall out. Many camel backs could break under
the weight of a final straw. In SOME instances, its probably about
time, too.
In my opinion, though, the better idea
is to insulate yourself. Get to a safe place to deal with these
potentially over the top emotions. Detach from participating in or
facilitating wild emotional displays. Tenderly self nurture yourself
through any pain, disappointment, anger or what have you. Then, start
analyzing the results of what happened. Does a change need to be
made? Then make it. Has change just been enforced upon you? Then,
after the emotions are dealt with, start making plans on how you will
deal with that. You've got plenty of time to calm down and
incorporate this stuff. After the Full Moon perfects, it is Void all
the way through tomorrow until finally entering Leo at 6:03 AM on
Tuesday.
