This morning, we wake up to the Moon in
Capricorn. The industriousness of this Moon's placement is softened
by a sextile to Neptune at 2:04 PM. The day is largely subdued under
this sky. Some folks may be sleepy, dazed or distracted at work. With
Mercury Rx still lingering within orb of Neptune, which is certainly
an aspect during this retrograde that has hang time and importance,
music could really help with productivity and motivation, if you need
it to. Turn on some upbeat tunes to help keep you awake and
productive. And, of course, don't forget to drink plenty of water. As
a matter of fact, anything connected to the element of Water could be
greatly beneficial to the other factor we have lighting up the sky.
Later tonight, the Moon passes through
the waning Yod between the Sun, Mars, Pluto and Jupiter. She flickers
the inconjunct with the Sun (14 Gemini) at 9:35 PM just prior to
meeting Pluto (15 degrees Capricorn) by conjunction at 11:08 PM. Her
inconjuncts with Mars (16 Gemini) and Jupiter (17 Leo) occur at 2:21
AM and 3:02 AM respectively. This Yod between these FIVE (yes,
FIVE!!) bodies remains active for the duration of our evening and
overnight hours holding the Moon and Pluto upon the Apex. It sounds
like a lot of active soul searching to me. Even though the Moon
doesn't enter this mix until overnight, most of this energy is active
all day. The Sun officially finds Pluto by inconjunct tomorrow while
Mars also sextiles Jupiter. Not only will this Yod remain active for
a few days, it has BEEN active since the Full Moon. As the Moon
passes through, though, we are affected emotionally by it. Both of
our very personal luminaries are involved making this quite an
individuated dynamic...meaning, it brings personal stuff to the
surface for many. Unfortunately, it's hard to wrap our brains around
what it all means due to Mercury's current afflictions. We have to
feel our way through which is HIGHLY doable due to the position of
the Moon which leads us through this Finger of God tonight.
That being said, dreams could pull
information deep from within our core and to the surface of our
psyche at least momentarily. Moreover, Sun/Mars in Gemini is an
active thinker. We think; therefore, we are. I also feel that Mars in
an air sign does more thinking and talking about doing than actually
engaging. I have an air Mars, I know how that goes. There is a lot of
“I'm going to” and, at times, very little follow through.
Thinking is not doing. However, creating is doing and this Yod (with
Sun/Mars sextile Jupiter at the base) is wonderful for creative
efforts or even revamping some of the games and activities we enjoyed
in our youth. Play? Under a Capricorn Moon? Yes, but in this regard,
our play has a hidden therapeutic agenda. I'm thinking role playing
here or other active/creative therapeutic measures that work on a
psychological and, potentially, physical level such as
rehabilitation. As a matter of fact, this Yod could be named the
“Therapeutic Rehabilitation Yod” applying to both emotional and
psychological rehab as well as physical (particularly that which
occurs post surgery/injury). Rehab in any regard is NOT easy. But, it
doesn't have to be regimented like boot camp either. It CAN be fun
and involve small groups of folks that are supportive of each
individual's efforts toward healing. The trick is to remember you are
working to empower yourself. We are not so much working in an effort
to overpower others. We are just grappling to get back to baseline
operation so that we can grow and flourish from there. Within the
process of rehab, though, we do often meet with physical or emotional
pain and are challenged with safely pushing through those barriers to
stretch ourselves toward higher functionality. In other words, it's a
progressive process that calls for our active engagement, focus,
determination and bravery while being mindful of what is too much
pain and knowing when to stop versus when to push through. The point
is to heal the injured part (physical or emotional) not re-injure it.
In that, we may need to call upon outside guidance and support or
seek out the assistance of a professional. We incorporate the element
of Water with therapeutic music (meditative instrumentals and such),
visualization, medications that reduce muscle pain and swelling etc,
or by even incorporating it into our physical rehab through water
intake or such as with physical therapy IN water which is often used
for those with arthritic problems.
If you work in multi-media, wow, could
you ever create something powerful under this Yod. Of course, again,
Mercury is a factor. So, in work such as this I'm thinking more along
the lines of tangible creations rather than ones that require
electronic assistance. Delineating future plans on vision boards,
collages, chalk and dry erase boards etc appeases this energy while
allowing us to use Mercury effectively too. By the way, this energy
is also ripe for prayer vigils or memorials held to nurture and
support the grieving.
So, yes, today is subdued but deeply
personal with the purpose of helping us to prepare for the future by
repairing what has been broken or by learning to deal with the things
that cannot be repaired while enhancing the functionality that
remains. You know what is broken. You can feel it. The Universe
supports your healing efforts at this time. It's time to dig deep and
become proactive about addressing whatever it is that needs to be
addressed while maintaining faith in yourself that you can do it. At
the very least, we are well positioned to see exactly what it is we
are each made of for better or worse.
