This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Virgo bridging a Mutable Grand Cross between the Sun, Mercury Rx and
Mars in Gemini along with Neptune in Pisces and Saturn Rx in
Sagittarius. Saturn and Neptune are 8 degrees apart in orb and this
aspect is waning as Saturn continues moving toward Scorpio. But,
today's Moon links all this up in a shifty and unpredictable fashion.
The pixies, imps and fairies of early summer are up to some new
tricks. Look carefully for them.
I don't know about anyone else, but
I've felt as if I've fallen in a veritable time warp over the last
few days. I ran into old acquaintances (both for better or for worse)
and even visited some old haunts. Memorial Day, indeed. There have
been plenty of memories to re-visit. I've also listened to a lot of
stories of the past as told by my 100 year old grandmother. We went
to visit her over the weekend and she joyfully told my husband about
how my cousin and I always reminded her of squirrels when we would
come to visit. She said, “You could always find them scurried up a
tree somewhere.” She was right. My cousin and I were tree climbing
fools in our youth. But, that memory had largely left me until it was
restored over the weekend. She also pointed out that myself and my
two female cousins had all spent time working in hospital emergency
rooms. She was right, again. I worked in an ER for about 10 years and
am now a self-dubbed “Shock Therapist” often dealing with folks
in emergent emotional circumstances. One cousin is a flight RN on a
trauma helicopter. The other is an RN in a hospital ER. That was an
interesting observation since we all share Mars/Uranus contacts which
is a signature you can also find in my grandmother's chart. We are
definitely all first responders in our own right (and adrenaline
junkies). So, anyway, reminiscing has definitely been fun. But, at
times, it was also a bit confusing and disorienting because the
revisiting was so vivid.
As the Moon is the pivot point
connecting all these planets that are currently in mutable, it is our
emotions that will lead the way in the shiftiness of this ongoing
mutable t-square. The first shift comes this morning as the Moon
officially squares off with Saturn at 7:48 AM. This aspect is a bit
heavy, but also holds grounding potential. We can get out of bed,
firmly plant our feet on the ground and determine what it is we would
like to do with this day. It can also feel pretty heavy so some may
have some dreaded tasks ahead of them on this Monday.
At around 1 PM today, the heaviness
from Saturn breaks up as Venus perfects in square to Uranus just as
the Sun and Moon square off creating our First Quarter Moon. Venus is
still within orb of an opposition to Pluto, but that is waning now.
She is also waxing into trine with Chiron. That doesn't perfect for a
few days. Today, though she is being catalyzed by the Lightning God.
This can produce discomfort but can also be used to foster new
friendships and social connections. On another level, if Venus feels
trapped or if matters of Venus feel as if they are controlling us, we
could be prompted to break free from them. In that, I mean
overwhelming debt or oppressive relationships become very
uncomfortable today. We are ready to wriggle loose of any chains or
conditions that may be placed upon our hearts and the love we
receive.
The First Quarter Moon pits a Gemini
Sun against a Virgo Moon. The ruler of both Gemini and Virgo is
running backward in the sky and within orb of this square between the
two. It's time to rearrange the facts and rethink what it is we
believe we know. Many minds will flip-flop under this shifty sky.
That could assist with the revolution brought to our value system. We
could begin to shift our own values as a result of this shift in
perspective. Either way, this First Quarter heralds a week of
planetary PMS (or a building moon) during which time emotions will
grow to a full bloom which is released at our Full Moon in
Sagittarius next week.
To muddle things a little more, as all
this mutable energy is squaring in the sky, Mars is also waxing into
square with Neptune. This perfects at 7:39 PM tonight. Ambition is
confused or washed away. Drive is elusive. Motivation evaporates. In
our environment, this aspect can catalyze a lot of yucky stuff, gas
fires, explosions, boating accidents, incidents of drunk
driving...even accidents that involve fireworks could be a result of
this with Venus also in orb of Uranus. So, if you are fiddling with
any of this kind of potentially explosive stuff (gas grills,
fireworks, driving) make sure you are sober and on top of your game.
Make sure you have the fire extinguisher on hand and that you are
dotting your i's and crossing your t's in regard to safety.
The Moon officially passes through this
Mars/Neptune square at around midnight tonight. This mutable t-square
has an outlet in Sagittarius. So, keep your future in mind and aim
toward directing your actions with means toward a conscious end. Give
this aspect an “easy out” and wash your vehicle..that's a good
exertion of Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces that also pleases
our Virgo Moon. Or, dance furiously or turn on some Barry White to
backdrop lovemaking. All of these are great expressions of this
energy without running the risk of getting swamped by angry waves.
I'm almost certain that there will be
plenty of folks who encounter “WTF” moments today. The sky is
SHIFTY! There is duality to contend with along with the feeling of
being in a time warp. It's best to just hold yourself on center and
not make your mind up about what you are seeing just yet. Let things
play out as you sit back and watch the show unfold. There's plenty to
learn here. But, we just aren't sure what the point is or what it is
we should do about it just yet. That's alright. We may be emotionally
prone to try to “fix” things but, right now, the best fix is to
let the pot simmer a bit.
