This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Cancer. She passed into the sign overnight, just after midnight
ending yesterdays long VOC session. At 5:50 AM, the Moon is in a nice
sextile with the Sun in Taurus. This is not the morning to skip
breakfast. The Moon is building. We need to be filling our bodies
with energizing foods that serve as solid building blocks. Mars and
Pluto are now separated in their waning trine by 2 degrees. Soon our
source of renewable energy will subside. In the meantime, we need to
support our bodies with what is needed.
Between 6 AM and about noon, the Sun
and Moon both form an inconjunct with Saturn Rx in Sagittarius. As
for the Yod, Saturn Rx sits at the apex and is fed by the sextile
between the Sun and the Moon. What is being tickled here is our
desire to act upon our value system, our ability to self-nurture and
nurture others and our ability to be self-regulated. Saturn Rx in
Sagittarius should be used as a compass toward our futures here. What
are you trying to accomplish (Saturn in Sag)? Does your value system
support it (Sun in Taurus)? How will your actions affect others
(Cancer Moon)? What is your intuition telling you (Cancer Moon)? That
last statement is going to gain in importance as the day moves
forward. Much of what happens today is going to be about intuition
and feeling. This period of the day, while the Yod is in force, tests
how we react to how we feel. Can you hold yourself on center in the
midst of a rainstorm? Or, are you going to be one of those folks who
takes advantage in a disaster, for example. There is not going to be
anyone around to point you in the right direction or dictate your
next move to you for this. The decisions you make and their potential
consequences are all yours.
The Sun will hold his inconjunct with
Saturn for the duration of the day and it will stay in orb for the
next few. Knowing your goals will be important. Truthfulness both
with yourself and others will be important. Acceptance of the truth
is equally important.
Just for fun, let's check out the
Sabian Symbol for Saturn's current position. Sagittarius 4: Watched
by happy parents, a child takes his first steps. Life's kindliness in
creating safe opportunities for growth. Full appreciation of
opportunity. Crisis in self-development.
So, let's imagine that scene. Two
parents smile down at their small child as he takes his first steps
with trepidation. This is a time of pride for the parents. But, if
the child falls, they are not going to be angry. They will be there,
however, to console him and encourage him to try again. The Sabian
indicates that even though the parents are not holding the child's
hands while he tries to step forward for the first time, he is still
being watched over and protected while also being supported in his
efforts. In today's Astrology, our parents are represented by our Sun
and Moon placements—which are the luminaries said to represent part
of how we formed our personal archetype for Mother and Father to
begin with. Now, we are tasked with overlaying those roles onto our
own lives and using that gentle guiding energy to support us as we
move forward toward our goals. In that, we may stumble in our
efforts. But, we are to be good parents to ourselves and be
supportive of our own continual efforts to get it right. How we aim
to “get it right” draws from our personal value systems, how we
feel and, in general, what we need; how we supply ourselves with what
we need AND how we act when we may not get exactly what we want.
Conversely, all that feeds the way in which we decide to engage in
our future and how we decide to move forward with building it. We may
assess past mistakes (or missteps) and in that, we are called to be a
good parent to ourselves while also maintaining the optimism and
enthusiasm of a child who is willing to give it another go.
After the Moon's leg of the Yod wanes,
she meets Neptune by trine at 5:24 PM. The intuitive and emotional
bodies are very active by this point. The imagination is also
kicking. Be sure not to let your imagination run over into paranoia
with Mercury still in orb of Pluto. Don't be surprised if tears
accompany this. This aspect is very sensitive and dreamy. However, it
is not harsh. To be honest, it reminds me a little of what it feels
like sometimes when my hormone levels are really high. Sometimes, I
will cry over what later seems like a silly thing...a TV commercial
or a Hallmark card, for example. At those times, tears don't come
because I'm sad, necessarily...but more so because I am feeling
everything so acutely. Overwhelming feelings of love can produce
tears. So can anger. So can happiness and joy. Either way, continue
being a good parent to yourself and be alert to what you are exposing
yourself too. If you want to feel good, for heaven's sake, don't turn
on the news. You know? If you want to be depressed, well, CNBC and
FOX News run all day giving you that opportunity. I'd advise pulling
yourself away from all that under this trine. Give yourself some
space to accommodate your emotions. Do what makes you feel better,
not worse. Take a nap. Get some alone time. Pray. Meditate. Relax
with a glass of wine after dinner. Soothe your emotional body with
music. Soak in a luxurious bath and pamper yourself a bit. You
deserve this.
Tomorrow is pressurized with the Moon
bouncing off Uranus and Pluto by harsh aspect in the early morning.
Be sure to gift yourself with plenty of rest. There is really a
reason why parents give kids a bedtime. Without proper rest, children
are grumpy and less focused. You do not want to enter Friday like
that.
