This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Aquarius (6:15 AM) after a brief VOC Capricorn Moon following a
square to Venus at 4:03 AM. Mercury in Pisces also officially squared
off with Saturn Rx at 5:41 AM.
Things can likely feel prickly this
morning. The screws are tightened under Uranus and Pluto who perfect
in square later today (9:17 PM @ 15 degrees 18 minutes). The Sabian
Symbol for Pluto at 16 degrees says, “School grounds filled with
youths in gymnasium suits.” Dane Rudyar describes the point with
the following, “Normal dependence upon physical stimulation. Robust
enthusiasm in approaching life's contests; or immature
impulsiveness.” An impulsiveness warning from Pluto...in aspect to
Uranus, the ruler of impulsiveness. Tuck that under your hat. The
Sabian Symbol for the God of Lightning at 16 Aries says, “Brightly
clad Brownies, dancing in warm dying light.” Rudyar says,
“Relationship between conscious and unconscious sides of life.
Invisible assistance often entailing obligation to outer forces.”
With these two Sabians in play under this square we have a mixture of
excitement and colorful activity together with youthfulness and
magical spirits. Doesn't sound too bad, right? LOL...riiiiiiiiiight.
This energy is not something that is
going to monopolize the day. Oh no, it's power is much further
reaching than that. It has been waxing for sometime and the interplay
between Uranus and Pluto has been ongoing. This is the 7th
time they have perfected in square during this cycle. What it does is
set an undertone of change, reform and shaky instability. This
undertone has begun the unraveling of many things that need to
change. But these things are not fully rectified under this final
square. These aspects have set us up for change and reformation that
will continue over a very long period of time. That being said, I
don't buy into the fact that none of this affects folks on a personal
level. As someone who has had personal planets in aspect to this
continual square, I can attest to the fact that some of the stuff
that goes down is ridiculously personal. I mean, if this energy
didn't affect the collective on a personal level, how would change be
fostered to begin with? Aside from that, I cannot say that all the
change is horrible, either. It's pressurized and uncomfortable. But,
wow, is it ever powerful! Plus, the timing of this final square feeds
directly into the shaky ecliptic energy that follows it on March 20th
(New Moon eclipse in Pisces) and April 4th (Full Moon
eclipse in Libra). This all happens together. The energy is mixed
rather than in isolation. What that equates to is uncertainty and
potentially jangled nerves. Folks are likely to be on edge. When
folks are on edge they have a higher tendency to over-react to
stimuli or respond to certain stimuli with knee-jerk reactions
instead of a more well considered response. Reflect upon the sabians
especially the one for Uranus that points directly to the connection
of “unconscious and conscious sides of life.” You are going to
want to side with the conscious side, here. Plus, don't make any
bargains that you can't hold up on your end out of desperation.
Metaphorically speaking, desperate deals with the Devil often require
a payback that no one can truly afford. Please, don't fall for that.
Before we get to the perfection of this
square between Uranus and Pluto, the Moon checks in with the
traditional ruler of Aquarius, Saturn, by sextile at 2:24 PM. Sweet!
This isn't an overly joyous aspect but it is VERY grounding. We are
going to need that today. However, remember, that Saturn is
retrograde. It's not like anyone is going to be standing over your
shoulder telling you what you should do. You are going to have to
discern the most appropriate course of action for yourself based on
what you have learned and built so far. Sure you can consult your
friends, acquaintances or a trusted mentor for advice. But,
ultimately, the decision and consequences are all yours. This also
means you probably are not going to be able to cast the blame for the
fallout on anyone else either. You will answer, eventually, directly
for your actions. In that, you are going to want to really think
through decisions and make sure you are consciously engaging in
whatever situation you find yourself in and not just reacting on
impulse to any stimuli that situation contains. Be personally
accountable regardless of what everyone else is doing.
Also, with all this shaky instability
in the air, I'm seeing a high suicide risk and danger of self-harm
due to increased anxieties and fear. The square from Mercury to
Saturn is not helping in this regard. Serious and clinical depression
is very prevalent. Please reach out for help if you need it. If you
have friends that are suffering right now, check in with them to let
them know you care. Pull together instead of polarizing. I'm not even
kidding about this. In the course of one day, I encountered two folks
in my world with suicide intent and one who was a full fledged
attempt. Several more were dangling on the abysmal edge of depression
or seriously frazzled due their anxieties. Some folks are really,
really suffering and in some personal environments the situation
seems very dire. Reach out and support one another if you are able at
this time.
This is not the end of the world,
though at times it may feel like it. It is actually the birthing
pains accompanied with the deliverance of a new world. The two (birth
and death) feel similar as each mark a passage into a new realm of
existence. There are heightened emotions connected with each. Plus,
both hold a type of scary uncertainty that comes readily attached to
change. In that, don't try to relieve the pressure by pre-empting the
work that the Universe is trying to do. Does that make sense? There
is pressure and nervousness in the sense that it feels like at any
minute the other shoe is going to drop. In that, some folks blow
things up in an effort to relieve that waxing pressure. Hold steady
and true, instead. Imploding and/or exploding is not the answer.
Endurance and self-control while bringing your thinking out of the
immediate moment helps ensure proper steerage. HELL YES it is going
to be tempting to respond to this “adrenaline-like” energy
immediately. It's going to be EASIER to give in to it. But, EASIER
doesn't mean BETTER. True strength is in controlling yourself while
under this pressure and engaging deliberately with conscious intent.
Plus, hold your boundaries tight.
Mercury, Sun, Neptune and Chiron are all swimming in Pisces. We are
permeable right now picking up on not only the tension in the
Universe but also on tension of the folks around us. Don't let
someone else's sense of instability threaten to debase your own.
Instead, be the eye of the storm if you can and let them feel a bit
of your calm center. Permeability works both ways, you know.
The pressure of today has hang time. It
will hold with us all the way through the New Moon eclipse on the
20th which subsequently births both our Sun and Moon into
Aries. When the Moon meets up with Uranus and Pluto from Aries on the
21st, the two are only separated by about 10 minutes. So
it isn't like the pressure from these two powerhouses is released all
in one day or during the time of perfection. We will check in with it
throughout the duration of this month through our lunar positions.
Then, eventually, the Sun and Mercury will also pass through this
waning square in April. Our Full Moon eclipse occurs at 14 degrees on
the Aries/Libra axis...so, merely a few degrees away from the
perfection of Uranus/Pluto. Knuckle down folks. We are in this for
the long haul. Be very nice to yourself and take meticulous care to
bring yourself to ground. Be supportive of one another when you can
and work to pull together. Most of all, breathe...steadily and with
purposeful intent. You are the master of your fate and the captain of
your ship. You cannot control all the circumstance that happens TO
YOU but you can certainly control your response to it.
All my typical cautions come into play
here. Reduce artificial stimulants, physically move around to
discharge anxieties and keep your eyes wide open for potentially
emergent events while maintaining a point of stasis that you can use
to discern whether an event deserves an emergent response or not.
Know the difference between what feels like an emergency versus
something that truly is an emergency. Be gentle with yourself and
with others while knowing that is going to be a lot harder than it
sounds. That just makes it all the more important.
