This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Aries creating a sextile with Mars in Gemini (3:51 AM) and a trine
with Saturn Rx in Sagittarius (5:02 AM). That looks a lot like
resolve and determination to me. But, it can also feel like running
into a brick wall as soon as you step out of bed. Ok, that may be me
being grumpy. I'm not a fan of the Moon in Aries or Mars opposite
Saturn. So, mixing them all together is like a huge gift of
astrological crap as far as I'm concerned. But, in my best
effort..aside from my grumpiness, I'm inclined to tell you that this
aspect is usable. It brings out your grit, your tenacity, your
self-directed drive AND it solidifies the formerly muddy ground into
something upon which we can make traction. Those tracks left behind
you are made from pure trudging tenacity though. You've got to WANT
it. Otherwise, it's just going to feel like heavy trudging. Well,
it's likely to be heavy trudging either way. But, if the ends justify
the means then you just don't mind as much.
Speaking of “wanting it” the Moon
in Aries also squares off with Venus in Cancer at 1:34 PM. See? We
WANT to be cocooned but here we are...trudging. It would be a good
day to pack your lunch and bring along a little flavor (and reminder)
of home for our late week workday.
By later tonight, we do have a chance
to unwind a bit as the Moon meets Mercury in Gemini by sextile at
10:01 PM while also waxing into trine with Jupiter (1:47 AM).
However, the waxing energy of Mars opposite Saturn is ever increasing
until it perfects at 2:04 AM just as the Moon also finds Pluto by
square (2:45 AM). What is it we are trying to accomplish anyway?
Better yet, why? What's driving this bus anyway? Not that it matters,
we are pretty steeped in obsession over it right now. This type of
set up coming in at the hour it does, reminds me of those dreams
where you immobilized or unable to scream or escape. It feels dark,
dank, shadowy and HEAVY. It's also not too far from being an
illustration of BDSM. As a matter of fact, this set up sounds quite a
bit like that. Here is the thing, do you feel like a willing
participant in any of this? The answer to that question is what you
need to be pondering. Is this something you want to do? No? Then, get
the Hell out! If it IS something you are want to do then head down
and trudge on...or mask on and chains up, heck I don't know. Just
know you have a choice in the matter and if it doesn't feel right you
have 100% right to back off and dismiss yourself from it. Our sense
of responsibility is sky high right now. But, know that it is not
100% your responsibility to do all the things all by yourself even if
you feel like it is.
In the morning, the Moon runs into
Uranus first thing off the bat. Perhaps, just perhaps, we are being
prodded to put some of that weight down...particularly the load that
doesn't belong to us or the part that we shouldn't be carrying alone.
These are the days of a waning moon. Meaning, we should be releasing
stuff anyway. So, if the load you are carrying is too big and not
entirely your responsibility, then, think about laying it down
before you risk being crushed under it's weight. Streamline.
Delegate. And be mindful of taking on more than you can realistically
handle while tackling one diligent task at a time. Continue chipping
away at the stone until it is whittled down to a very sharp edge.
Steps forward today will be solid but
well-earned. Tomorrow, we may just be ready to cast off a bunch of
shackles under a broken “give a damn” and a very looooooooong VOC
Moon (from 8:05 AM on the 15th until 3:05 AM on the
16th).
One thing to remember, if you
continually feel like you are taking a run straight into a brick
wall, then this may be the Universe's way of trying to tell you
something. Stop for a minute and reassess. Maybe it's not such a good
idea. What are you trying to do? Why? Is tackling it head on the best
tact? Because, that bruised brick imprint on your forehead is telling
me, maybe not. Maybe it's time to fall back and punt or consider a
different course trajectory. At the very least, do a gut check in
regard to what is driving you because the answer to that
introspective question could hold the keys to the freedom that you
crave more so than the mountain you are trying to move.
