This morning we wake up to the Moon in
Virgo leaving an opposition with Chiron and an inconjunct with Uranus
in Aries. Meanwhile, Mercury is tightening in square to Neptune. This
perfects at 2:09 PM and is followed, tonight, by a slew of crunchy
Mars aspects.
First, with the Moon's opposition to
Chiron and subsequent inconjunct to Uranus, we are given opportunity
to assess and triage our healing. Are we healing? Or are we
continually re-injuring ourselves? Some may only feel the pain and
react. However, the more beneficial idea is to feel the pain if its
present and respond. Pain is one of our body's ways of telling us
something is wrong. Chiron's energy is particularly strong right now
as he quivers in his station preparing to turn retrograde tomorrow.
Emotional pain is just as relevant as physical pain and should be
treated with the same care as a physical injury. Neither wound
(physical or emotional) should be ignored or allowed to fester. Give
yourself the healing that you need and if you are incapable of
addressing it on your own, then seek expert advice (inconjunct
Uranus).
Not only do we need to beware of
re-injuring ourselves and pay heed to the fall out from that, there
is prime opportunity for an original injury here with the “rushy”
energy that Uranus provides accompanied with the potential brain fog
that Mercury square Neptune delivers. There is a high probability of
being distracted while we are rushing around doing what needs to be
done on our task lists. Distraction + Rush = prime set up for
careless accidents. Be careful and alert out there while being a
responsible caretaker of your own stuff be that illness, injury or
emotionality. We are still under the fire trine between Jupiter and
Uranus. The feeling of quick expansion and rush, is a thing. Slow
down.
This afternoon, Mars lingers at the end
degree of Gemini where he finds himself at an inconjunct with Saturn
at 2:37 PM. This feels like drag and exhaustion...trudging. Later
tonight, the Moon will sextile Saturn and square Mars bringing
punctuation to this set up. Our emotional bodies are processing all
that needs to be done. It seems like the list is at critical mass and
moving forward is a slow and tedious adventure. So, we begin
prioritizing and laying out an attack plan as Saturn and the Moon get
down to business. The feel of Moon square Mars is agitating and could
affect our ability to rest. After the square to Mars, though, the
Moon reaches Void status (1:13 AM) for a brief 30 minutes before
entering Libra at 1:42 AM on the 24th. As the lights come
back on the Moon, pressure resumes under our waxing First Quarter
Moon that perfects early in the morning as Chiron stations retrograde
and just prior to Mars entering Cancer. Shifty, indeed.
Although Mercury square Neptune hazes
up the day, the pressure that is exuding from the sky is felt by our
emotional bodies as well as our physical bodies. We may not
understand why we feel the way we do. As a matter of fact, there may
be times when we don't understand a darn thing because, in some
areas, it's too hot, hazy and humid to be able to think. You know
those days when it is so hot you can look out at the road and it
looks all mirage-y? Like it's flowing or melting or there is some
ethereal haze creeping up from it? Or when there is a rainstorm and
that is followed by tremendous heat that causes fog to emerge from
the pavement like ghosts from the grave? Yeah, it's a lot like that.
I find that disorienting; but, it is a wonderful depiction of the
effects of Mercury square Neptune. Our eyes can deceive us by putting
an oasis in our desert when none truly exits. Plus, yes, there is a
chance for some wonky weather under a sky like this. As above, so
below. As within, so without. The thunderstorm could very well occur
within us, too.
The entirety of this day and how it
should be treated can be captured with one statement, “Heal
thyself.” I know you are busy. I know you have responsibilities. I
know you have a long list of things to do. But, if we ignore our own
needs, illnesses and injuries we could truly set ourselves up for
failure or an extended debilitation that keeps us from accomplishing
anything. Self-care is that important. Carve out some space in your
day for that while remaining alert to emerging hazards. Expect folks
to be distracted on the roads and drive defensively. Expect folks to
be confused from time to time and use the Virgo powers we are
currently imbibed with to sort your way through the confusion. Expect
emotional energy to rise and get well positioned and centered to deal
with that. Try to maintain a sense of humor and laugh at yourself as
necessary. But, above all, be good to yourself and leave plenty of
room for others to process whatever they need to while making some
space for yourself as well.
