This morning we wake up to a Gemini
Moon under some serious pressure. Underneath that pressure, though,
lies support. But, we are going to have to reach for it.
The Moon meets Mars in Aries by sextile
right off the bat this morning at 7:36 AM. Our get up and go has
found us...but for how long? At 8:25 AM, the Moon opposes Saturn. We
are going to need our go juice and physical ambitions because that is
some heavy slog to wade through. What it can do, however, is bring
some practicality to a potentially fickle emotional atmosphere. It is
likely to keep our hands busy so our collective rears don't get into
trouble.
Truth is a strong energy right now and
that is exactly what we should be looking for and leaning on. Focus
is needed as well as holding yourself steadily on your path. Be
accountable and self-directed. Act with integrity and responsibility.
So, while the opposition from Saturn may feel heavy, it is actually a
much needed anchor. Sure, it's part of this unpredictable mess too.
But, employed deliberately, it can be the sturdy ship that also
carries us through this storm.
At 10:40 AM the Moon sextiles Venus in
Aries. We want to pioneer and move forward. We feel that there are
many options. We are encouraged to choose the one that feels right.
Follow your heart.
At midday (12:14 PM) the tension of our
First Quarter Moon perfects. This is where the pressure really begins
to be felt. It will continue to build all the way up to the Full Moon
in Virgo next week. First Quarter Moons often operate as catalysts or
bring events to a head that we need to deal with in an effort to
fulfill what we set out to do at the New Moon. Blocks to plans
emerge. Our attempts at moving forward are met with conflict. In
that, we decide if our goal is still a worthy aim. If it is, under
the First Quarter, we work to remove, work around or deal with the
obstacles that find their way onto our path.
Immediately after the First Quarter
perfects, the Moon also squares Neptune (1:06 PM). The Sun officially
meets Neptune by conjunction at 11:55 PM. In between these Neptune
aspects, though, the Moon perfects in trine to Mercury in Aquarius
and Mars in Aries trines Saturn in Sagittarius. There is analytical
power and the ability to look at current circumstances through
logical eyes held within the trine from the Moon to Mercury. We can
get on board with doing things differently or looking at things from
an unusual perspective. Meanwhile, the energy from Mars in Aries to
Saturn in Sagittarius can assist us with finding more solid footing
in an otherwise shaky and uncertain day. Traction is available. But,
we've got to reach for it one plodding and deliberate step at a time.
We are called to walk upon our truth as if it were a path of solid
pavers...because, today it is.

| I'm melting, melting, melting |
The truth is the truth is the truth.
You know? But, the truth is dependent upon perspective and your
ability to see clearly. Our emotional vision is ALL KINDS of screwed
up today. But, mentally, logically, we do have the ability to process
the facts and the cold hard truth. So, even if information you are
delivered may seem ugly, if it is the truth, it's best to go ahead
and work on accepting it. Denial will get you no where but swept
further down a choppy river without a raft.
That being said, practicality and the
ability to discern the truth from fiction are paramount today. The
missing leg of this mutable t-square falls in Virgo. That means, the
power of Virgo can help to balance out this shaky equation. Neptune
and the sign of Pisces bring chaos. These energies applying to our
Moon can bring emotional confusion, mourning, tears and overall shaky
emotional affect. The powers of Virgo can help bring all this to
ground.

| Not a good day to be the Queen of Denial |
Let me try to explain how Virgo helps
with this. First, I have a Pisces Moon natally in square to Neptune.
So, when I say confusing emotions and shaky emotional ground I know
what I'm talking about. I also have Venus in Virgo and was raised by
a father who has a Virgo Moon. When emotional chaos occurs, my Venus
in Virgo sweeps in and starts sorting things out. When my Pisces
makes a mess, my Virgo cleans it up. Virgo energy is grounding and
practical. As a child, I felt everything from everyone. If you were
sad; I felt sad. And, there was a part of me that believed my
emotions were so strong that everyone else could feel them too...just
like I could feel theirs. My Virgo Moon father made me aware of the
fact that this is not true. He would say, “People only know how you
are feeling if you tell them or show them.” That helped a lot.
Because part of my upset was due to the fact that I thought I was
seriously infecting the world around me with my pain. When I realized
it was just me, well, I could handle that. I learned how to get
practical with my emotions. I learned that physically creating order
in my personal space helped me to sort things out in my emotional
body. I learned how to make my Venus in Virgo and Moon in Pisces
operate in tandem instead of as antagonists. An ability to grasp onto
solid practicality and discernment goes a very long day today. Virgo
can nurse your sick emotions back to health.
So in the potentially stormy emotional
seas of today, it is indicated that we use Mars/Saturn to assert
boundaries and walk our truth; use Mercury to think beyond and
outside typical parameters while detaching from more swamping
emotions and employ Virgo power to assist us with practicality while
we nurse ourselves back to calm.
