This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Cancer. Venus still lingers in square to Jupiter after completing the
aspect last night. The early part of the day is riddled with minor
Moon aspects to both Saturn and Neptune. But, the Moon spends the
meat of the day waxing into trine with Mercury in Pisces.
Moon in Cancer trine Mercury in Pisces
has got to be one of the MOST intuitive astrological setups.
Information is flowing through our bodies just like blood courses
through our veins. It may not be written. It may not be spoken. But,
it is known. Do you know the difference between knowing and KNOWING?
I can present you with logical facts and evidence to support an
argument. By looking over those facts and evidence you may learn what
has occurred and, subsequently, draw a conclusion. But, the type of
knowing that is fostered through our water signs needs no documented
evidence or substantial fact. Sometimes all it needs is a certain
look, a shift in the air or merely a bird passing overhead. This type
of communication supports what we see without our eyes, what we hear
without our ears, what we say without our mouths and what we feel
within our skin instead of without. Knowing can be a logical
conclusion based on fact. However, it can also be visceral and
without logic. That is the difference between knowing and knowing.
What that means is today we should rely
less on what we see and hear and lean more on how we feel in an
effort to discover the truth. Find the flow and follow it. Tapping
into flow can come through various means. Meditation. Music. Prayer.
Come into your body and shut off your mind. Be silent and still. In
those quietest and most still moments, when a pin dropping would
sound like an atomic bomb, what do you feel?
The silence is broken while ambiguity
and adrenaline enter the atmosphere as the Moon finds Mars by square
later tonight (9:59 PM). Now that we have this knowing, what actions
should we take in light of it? How can we go to war when we have to
feed the children? How can we be angry when earlier we were so
settled? How can we deal with this ambition now that we know? Can we
leave this place of calm that we found through meditation and
re-enter a Mars oriented world? Yes. Yes we can.

| The Charioteer is victorious not through direct force but through conscious steerage of will. She guides her horses who are natural enemies and using their ambitious (and potentially violent) force toward her goals. She steers Mars. He does not steer her. |
We must pack our knowing with us and
remember what it is we felt. Then, we must change the way we engage
in ambition in light of it. Mars can be the destroyer and war lord.
But, at his highest, he is the fuel, the motivator, the engine that
drives us. Moon in Cancer is the nurturing mother, the supplier of
comfort and food. She wants nothing to do with blood thirsty war.
However, in defense of her children she certainly has the power to
devour her enemy. She will also hunt and kill to feed her family.
But, she stops to give gratitude to whatever living entity has given
up its life force so that her children may live. We all are given
life through a body that eventually will feed the Earth back.
Therefore, the Earth feeds us while we live out our soul's purpose.
Moon in Cancer realizes this cycle and honors the nurturing and life
providing energy that comes from Mother Earth. It is possible to get
these two energies (Mother/Warrior) that meet via tense aspect to
work together. Otherwise, how would the Emperor (the epitome of fiery
Aries energy) and Empress (she who gives birth and cares for all
life) co-rule over many kingdoms successfully?
Be the compassionate warrior. Defend
your inner peace as it is your sanctuary of true safety. Build a fort
around the home front for protection. Shelter the children from an
angry and violent world. Make your anger serve you instead of
allowing it to make you its slave. Disallow instigation and
provocation from the outside world. Let those arrows bounce off your
fortress as you laugh at the vain efforts to get you to dispel your
precious energy. Then, use that slow boil to cook your dinner as the
rest of the world burns outside your castle if that's what it wants
to do.
After the square with Mars, the Moon is
Void until entering Leo at 1:49 AM. Tomorrow is fiery and active.
Venus moves away from Jupiter and toward Pluto promising to endow us
with richness and depth. The atmosphere warms in response and brings
us precious sweet blossoms like blessings from the Earth herself. In
that, today we are called to center and find true direction through
inner knowing. Tomorrow, we pack that knowing with us as we re-open
our fortress windows and allow the sunlight to fall inside. We are
beckoned to be. To live. To act. To do. To engage. And, we can;
because, now we know.
