This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Aquarius leaving her sextile with her traditional ruler, Saturn, who
is currently retrograde in Sagittarius. Today, she trines Mercury at
1:11 PM and opposes Jupiter at 7:52 PM. Then, finally she finds her
modern day ruler, Uranus, by sextile at 3:05 AM in the morning.
Sounds innocuous enough. Right?
Surely, on the surface, it does. Yet,
when you check the condition of the planets that the Moon makes
contact with today, you'll see that there is quite a bit going on
beneath that easily discernible surface. Jupiter is inconjunct Pluto.
Mercury is in his shadow and still squaring Neptune. So our overly
logical Vulcan-like Moon meets with a drunken logic system. Then our
collective emotional bodies find themselves at odds with
individuality that is currently being rebooted. In that, we are
tasked with experimenting with “who we are” making necessary nips
and tucks while striving to also find clarity in our current Mercury
soup.
Logic is blurred with a purpose right
now. Neptune fogs what Saturn will eventually bring to form. Saturn
solidifies while Neptune waxes in to show us the gray areas. Well,
Mercury is past Saturn. So, we are at a point where what we believed
was solid is starting to fray at the edges. In the long trek of
Mercury's retrograde in his home sign, we will be called to re-wire
our perspective. The Polaroid “snapshot” in time has already been
taken. However, this picture does not develop for quite a while. What
you see initially is going to look completely different by the time
we get through this retrograde period. Right now, we are looking at
only the gray while somewhat anxiously awaiting that blob to take
form. Forcing the picture to dry before it's time simply is not going
to work. We might as well put on our patience pants now while we
wait.
I've a feeling that those who appear to
be in dominant positions will eventually find themselves on the flip
side of that coin while those in subservient positions will be the
one's holding the true power in the end. In reality, that's how it
goes anyway. A group is only as strong as it's individual members and
the ability of that group to meet the demands of the collective.
Strength comes in flexibility more so than from the stoic inability
to change...which is pretty stressful to our Sun's current position.
The ego wants to hold it's ground, you know? An example of this is
how we ultimately control the marketplace through our collective
consumer power. Is it corporations that hold all the options? Not
really. Especially when a large group of people decide to stop
feeding that pig. In that, the corporation MUST move toward meeting
consumer demand or sink. That's already been proven in our world even
if we still have a long way to go. However, it's still a concept to
keep at the forefront of your mind today.
Are you so stubborn that you will stand
on your ship and let it sink? Hey man, it's your ship..do with it
what you wish. But, it's much more effective when battling a storm on
the open seas to lift your anchor rather than to have it sunk
overboard...I'm just saying. I've said it once, I'll say it a million
more times, you CANNOT fist fight Neptune. Why? Because Neptune is
the higher vibration of Venus and Venus doesn't engage in hand to
hand combat. So take that inkling and shoot it up even higher...open
up instead of closing off while following the flow. Don't completely
disregard your value system or your power, either. There is certainly
a balance to be struck between standing your ground, expanding your
base of wisdom and leaving room for the path ahead of you to expand
bringing more options instead of fewer while remembering there is
more power in numbers. An effective group can accomplish much more
than the strongest man can accomplish all his own.
It's of no coincidence that Venus in
Cancer meets Saturn Rx in Sagittarius by inconjunct before the Sun
even comes up today (3:02 AM). Our innate ability to hold ourselves
on center without having to be constantly hovered over by authority
feeds our ability to be supportive and nurturing toward others. In
that, we are able to let go of the reins of control we attempt to
place upon others out of fear. However, that dynamic works conversely
too. If we can't hold ourselves on point, we have little faith that
others can do it either. So we cling, manipulate and whine...enable.
I know which end of that polarity I'd rather fall on. If you are
going to enable, then opt for enabling someone to a point of
independence THEN don't be afraid to let them fly or fall...wherever
their course trajectory takes them.
On the surface, this day looks alright.
But, there is still a veil cast upon what is truly going on. In that,
I advise you, again, to rely less on what you know and rely more on
what you feel. You may feel, at times, like you are groping around in
the dark. In that scenario, you cannot rely on your eyesight...you
have to pull from insight and intuition, the inner illumination. That
and the ability to bring folks together instead of allowing differing
opinions to further push us apart is what brings the true power
potential of the day to the surface. Our Lunar body needs for things
to make logical sense today. But, there isn't much room for that to
happen anytime soon. Release any attachment you have to things making
logical sense and opt to rely on your other senses...a higher
emotional intelligence and an ability to mix different elements in
experimentation, instead. You can pontificate the outcome. But, in
truth, you won't know how it will play out until it actually does.
It's not your mind that is going to lead you there either...it's your
heart. Don't be afraid to follow it. Expect the “standing your
ground” vs “working to bring folks together in an effort to
foster change” to come to a pinpoint under our Last Quarter Moon
tomorrow morning. It will likely be quite dispassionate but it's
still occurring, all the same.
