This morning we wake up to a nice and
potentially busy Leo Moon in sextile to Mars in Gemini (8:54 AM). The
thing is, though, if we take off running out of of the gate this
morning, there is a chance we could end up hitting a wall about
midday. At around Noon we meet with drag created by a lunar square to
Saturn in Scorpio. This is heavy and potentially depressive. To use
it deliberately, you are going to want to aim for grounding,
responsibility and fortitude. Know that the word “forbearance”
certainly applies to our emotions at midday. We need to be
responsible wardens of the same. Saturn is back in Scorpio now. So
this energy pits the Lion against the Scorpion. I find that energy
much heavier than a mutable square from Luna to Saturn in
Sagittarius. Saturn in Scorpio is very heavy.
Remember this beast? The Scorpiolion? He's back. |
Something I would like to also point
out about the energy we have today. Several planets are in their
shadow. Venus enters her shadow today. Mercury still lingers in his
retrograde shadow even though his energy is leveling out. There is
review still happening here. Things are resolving on a Mercurian
level, but they are not completely unwound until Mercury exits his
shadow next weekend. Saturn is retrograde, so, of course, also still
in shadow and Neptune is following suit. There is nothing WILD or
WRONG with any of that. But, it is a fact that is beneficial to
remember because it can stir echoes bringing past events to the fore
and, with Neptune, stripping away delusions or veils that were
created around these past events along the way. Plus, with Venus
direct and in her shadow some events that are occurring now may be
revisited during her retrograde. Mercury in his shadow and within
proximity to Neptune can assist that time-warpy feel in transpiring.
With Saturn Rx, he has passed over this
ground once already. In that first passage, we learned. In the second
pass, we re-experience and have a chance to consider what is we have
learned. The experiences we have may not be carbon copies of the
experiences we had that brought the initial lesson. But, they are of
the same flavor and it can produce, at least, a mild inkling of
PTSD-like symptoms. Then again, if you were not following the harsh
lessons of Saturn in Scorpio when he was on his way out of the sign
before, that fact may come back to haunt you now. As an extreme
example, if you murdered someone as Saturn was leaving Scorpio, the
body is likely to be found during his retrograde. When he is direct
and moves over this point again, you are arrested and put on trial.
Neptune Rx in Pisces is notorious for bringing floating bodies to the
surface of the water. Just throwing that in there in case you tried
to sink someone literally or metaphorically. Bear in mind, that, yes,
this is an VERY extreme example. I'm not sure that many criminals or
crooks even read astrology write ups. However, it is highly likely
that crimes committed during Saturn's passage out of Scorpio will be
discovered in his retrograde days and news of such does bear stark
impact upon the collective. Lost or hidden bodies are discovered.
Saturn is grimacing as this occurs saying, “And you thought you got
away with it...didn't you?” That being said, mentally revisit the
time in which Saturn was exiting Scorpio and prepare for echoes.
Gather your lessons from that time and
get ready to employ them, or in the very least, test them out. Saturn
was originally tracing the degrees he is retracing now between
November and December of last year—around the holidays of
Thanksgiving and Christmas, to give you a point of reference. He
entered Sagittarius on December 24, 2014. Mostly what I remember from
that time period is not being interested in the holidays at all. It
was the first year in my 42 years on this planet that I did not
decorate a single Christmas Tree. I simply was not in the mood. It
didn't feel like the holidays. That solstice came and went and I was
seriously not even interested. Now, here we are, at another solstice
and Saturn in Scorpio's heaviness is back to greet it too. Now my
bah-humbug is falling around the celebrations due to occur on July
4th. The “feel” of celebration is just not there. The
call to perform in the face of tradition, gone. You may find similar
echoes in your sphere that point back to that place in time too.
After the square to Saturn at midday,
the Moon is briefly Void for about 40 minutes until entering Virgo at
12:59 PM. As the Moon is Void, the Sun skirts over into Cancer at
12:38 PM. Um...shifty and interesting. This evening's feel is quite
different than the morning's and that can be a bit disorienting. By,
1:01 PM, the Sun and Moon are in nice sextile. Meanwhile, Venus
perfects in an inconjunct to Pluto. As she moves from 14 degrees Leo
toward 20 degrees Leo (where Jupiter is sitting), she bridges this
inconjunct with Pluto and recombines Jupiter's energy into it (who is
otherwise pretty much out of orb by 6 degrees). Yet, Venus carries
the torch that re-ignites that. We also should not forget that
Jupiter is holding an inconjunct with Chiron in Pisces who is due to
turn Rx on June 24 and subsequently tighten in orb within that
inconjunct. Venus is trine to Uranus and conjunct Jupiter as the
inconjunct between Jupiter and Chiron Rx re-perfects on June 30th.
On that day, the Moon is in Sagittarius catalyzing the entire thing
with fire trines right on the precipice of our Full Moon in
Capricorn. What I'm trying to tell you here is that a small bubbling
in matters of Venus is occurring right now. As we near the Full Moon,
that pot may threaten to boil over and/or explode at the Full Moon.
This week, things get shaky under the First Quarter Moon in
preparation for that. The heat is turned up and we are being called
to tend to and protect that which we hold at value consciously and
deliberately.
On top of that, with the Sun entering
Cancer, our solar bodies now answer to the movements of the Moon.
Moodiness and heightened emotionality is about to become a “thing.”
In that we are called to be our own parent...our own mother, working
to redirect ourselves and nurture our emotional bodies appropriately.
Tend to the tantrums of your inner child effectively.
Overall, this morning starts off with
the promise of being busy and active. However, there is the heaviness
of Moon/Saturn to contend with in all that. It's difficult to make
progress but the progress we do make will be solid...remember the
trudging? It's back. However, this evening the energy shifts a little
giving us a chance to pull back, go home and recuperate. Yet, even
within that slim point of ease, we can feel the darkness lingering
under the inconjunct from Venus to Jupiter...honestly, this reminds
me of heartburn which is definitely a possibility with Moon in Virgo.
However, it manifests and however you feel about it, don't ignore it.
Be a responsible self-caretaker and give yourself what you need. Our
VOC Moons are brief for awhile. We aren't getting many breaks
emotionally so we are going to have to take it upon ourselves to make
room for one when it is needed. Tonight is an excellent time to carve
out some space for that.
