Welcome
to the ecliptic. This morning we wake up to Void Moon in Pisces. She
remains Void until entering Aries at 3:30 PM EDT. Immediately after
entering the sign, she begins waxing into a grounding trine with
Saturn in Sagittarius (4:40 PM). At 6:17 PM, she meets Mars in Virgo
by inconjunct. Then, at 10:52 PM at 4 Aries/Libra 40, our Full Blood
Hunter's Moon in Aries Eclipse perfects.
Sabian for the Moon at 5
Aries: A white triangle with Golden wings on its upper sides.
Evolution of values in the sphere of inward self, but at a stage NOT
YET SUBSTANTIATED. Eagerness for a spiritual goal.
Sabian for the Sun at 5
Libra: Inspired disciples listen to the words of their teacher.
Knowledge and experience put to the test. Greatness calling its own
to itself. Ordered seeking. Distrust of appearances.
Sabian for the Moon's
ruler, Mars, at 2 Virgo: A large white cross stands alone on top of
a hill. Dominance of environment through individualistic
self-realization. Eminence at the cost of struggle. Full
self-assurance.
Sabian
for the Sun's ruler, Venus, at 23 Leo: The bareback rider in a circus
thrills excited crowds. The supremacy given to the man who has
mastered his senses and his emotions. Full utilization of inner
powers. Audacity.

Our
warrior, Bloodmoon, herself is inconjunct to her current ruler, Mars,
newly in Virgo. The sun...our ego body, is not only cut off by the
Earth, but also softened by an inconjunct to Neptune. What this says
to me is that emotions (Moon) are fueled by practicality, a desire to
serve, fix, help, clean up (Mars in Virgo) during a time in which we
are softened, compassionate, empathic, gentled (Sun/Neptune). The
emotions of the whole thing are personal but the we are less inclined
to think only of ourselves and more inclined to reach out in that
Virgo way with a Libran sense of balance and
fairness...equality...concern of other. Do you see? The opening up is
beautiful. And, there will be an opening up both internally and
externally, literally and metaphorically. Let us not forget that
this eclipse aligns with the Super galactic Center. That massive
black hole the swirls at 2 33 Libra. The feeling of “pull”
towards something is very, very strong.
Jupiter in Virgo sits in
opposition to both Chiron and Neptune. It's barely any more distance
from one than the other. This connects the energy bringing awareness
to where our hurts are (Jupiter/Chiron) but anesthetizing them at the
same time (Jupiter/Neptune). It's like being in twilight...not
completely unaware but still comfortable. Floaty and a bit
disconnected and dreamy. But, we aren't floating too high. Saturn has
thrown a leash around the Moon to keep it grounded throughout this
process.
We are accountable and
inspired...look at the proximity of the Bloodmoon to Vesta! She is
moving rx toward this eclipse! Our bloodthirsty vengeful nature is
also subdued. Lilith has been subdued, softened, refined due her
proximity to the Sun at this eclipse while Juno's presence next to
the Sun experiences the same and has us questioning our commitments
and exactly what the heck is right or wrong with them. Are they
misplaced all together? Venus, the Sun's ruler, is in waning trine to
Uranus and waxing square to Saturn. Freedom (Uranus) comes with a
price (Venus) and an assload of responsibility (Saturn in
Sagittarius).
There are enough t-squares
in this chart to cause just enough circumstantial pressure to cause
us to act. But, in which direction do we aim?
The Cardinal t-square
between Sun, Lilith, Juno, Mercury, the Moon, Vesta , Pluto and by
wide orb Uranus finds outlet in Cancer. Bam..points right back to the
principles of the Moon, nurturing, life sustaining essentials like
food, water and shelter. How you handle and process emotions. Our
roots.
The t-square between Mars,
Saturn and that whole twilight ball of energy between Jupiter,
Neptune and Chiron finds outlet in Gemini which points to Mercury who
is reviewing how we think about our connection to everything and
everyone through relationship. When I first saw that configuration, I
thought...well, the answer is to be social because? Misery loves
company? But, yes we are called to connect with others moreso than
disconnect but don't expect the discussions to be light with the
current position of Mercury. Do pay close attention to clarification
and what have you with him wobbling backward. Prepare to revisit
these discussions again when he turns direct. But, the main thing is
to start the dialogue or at least begin to re-consider your point of
view and how you perceive certain things. Be open to changing your
mind and re-adjusting your perspective which is hard to do when you
are flailing about like a wounded animal. Revert to those places that
are so deeply seated that the sunlight can't get to them and heal
thyself. Let go of what prompts division. Embrace what brings us
together, connects us and supports living...nurture those
things...support them and strengthen the connection instead of
weakening it.
By the
way, it may be hard to sleep tonight. Ecliptic and Full Moon energy
are both itchy. Being physically active during the day in an effort
to burn off excess energy and ground may help with this. So will
cutting down on caffeine and drinking more water. I would steer clear
of over-stimulation if at all possible. Or, at least work to burn
that energy off. The eclipse is today, but tomorrow is pretty active
too. Proper rest will help us to better meet that call.

This
morning ecliptic energy is still prickly plus, we wake up the the
Moon in opposition to Mercury Rx in Libra. This aspect can cause
nervousness and indecision. It can bring emotional messages, even
echoes from relationship's past. It could mean your alarm didn't go
off properly and you didn't get up on time. It can mean you go to
your car to drive to work in the morning and find it is
non-operational for one reason or another. It could mean you've lost
your keys or broken your phone. Plenty of ways this can play out.
If, you
managed to rest last night; then, you may be able to wrangle this
oppositional energy more effectively. If you can, get up a little
early and double check everything so you can start your Monday off on
more steady footing. If, you prepared last night by doing things like
packing your lunch for the day or laying your clothes out, then you
will be one step ahead of the game. Jupiter in Virgo beams with pride
when you are prepared and have double checked to make sure all your
I's are dotted and T's are crossed.
By
about Noon, the Moon is in square with Pluto in Capricorn. Feelings
run deep and at lunch time we have a voracious appetite. Cravings and
temptations...of certain foods, emotional fulfillment, exertions of
personal power...all are possible. Be wary of attempts made to
control you through your emotions. Instead, deeply assess what you
are feeling and suss out the root of temptation. What is really
missing in your life? For example, if you are craving vinegary salty
things, is it because you are slightly anemic? Suss out the root
cause and address it instead of just placating the situation. Treat
the underlying problems instead of just paying heed to the symptoms.
Dig deep.
At 9:31
PM, the Moon is conjunct Uranus which is ANOTHER aspect that is not
very conducive to restful sleep. Same suggestions apply as yesterday.
Be physical to deliberately burn off excess energy. Veer away from
stimulants and veer toward clean water. Relieve anxious feelings by
preparing for the next day ahead of time. Two days in a row of
non-restful sleep can make for a cranky mistake ridden Tuesday. Try
to avoid that if at all possible. We could all be a little anxious as
we could still be suffering from ecliptic aftershocks.
The
conjunction to Uranus can bring a feeling of things loosening up or
pressure being released after we've spent the afternoon with a lunar
square to Pluto. Just don't preempt the situation and blow things up
on your own just to relieve the pressure. This is a “thing” with
any aspect to Uranus. Absorb the shock and take time to properly
respond to the situation instead of just impulsively reacting.

Overnight,
the Moon in Aries did find some ease with a trine to Venus in Leo at
3:46 AM. From here, the Moon is Void until entering Taurus at 2:58
PM. This morning is great for tying up loose ends and toiling in
general. It is not so geared toward starting new things. The Full
Moon has crested, after all. In the following weeks she will darken
and release her constant gaze upon the Sun. We should do the same by
winding things down and releasing, too. This is also a good morning
to take things sloooow and easy.
The
Moon is exalted in Taurus. And, now that her ruler, Venus, is direct
the cows are not so grumpy anymore. Early to mid-degrees transits in
Taurus hit a sweet spot within the Universal energy as well since it
trines Jupiter, Mars and Pluto while sextiling Neptune. Not only are
the cows glad Venus is direct; but, they are also relieved that
Saturn is out of Scorpio. Shew! Nice to have that pressure gone.
At 7:52
PM, the Moon perfects in a nice grounding Earthy trine with Mars in
Virgo. She crosses by Saturn by inconjunct at 4:25 PM. The pressure
experienced between the Mars/Saturn square is waning.
This is
a great evening to rest and refuel. Nurse your ailing parts and feed
your body well. Solid energy sustaining and healthy food. Bounty of
the Earth is needed to restore our bovine bodies.
The
Moon spends the rest of the evening waxing into a softening sextile
with Neptune in Pisces. Our bellies are full and we are comfortable
enough to sleep soundly. That could equate to feeling a bit better in
the morning.

This
morning we wake up to the Taurus Moon in a nice solid trine with
Jupiter in Virgo. Why yes, we could really feel better this morning.
Restored and ready to get down to business. The mental wheels are
churning too as the Mercury RX finds the Sun in Libra by conjunction
at 10:39 AM at 7 degrees.
Sabian
for 8 degrees Libra: A
fireplace blazes mysteriously in a deserted farmhouse.
Constant presence of unseen, sustaining agencies in every worthwhile
activity. Great depth of initial effort. Providence.
By
Noon, the Taurus Moon is in deep Earthy rich trine with Pluto in
Capricorn. Again, cravings come and our appetites are voracious at
lunchtime. Feed your body sustaining food instead of something that
will leave you feeling flat in a few hours. Hopefully you've made
your grocery store run because you are going to want hearty food and
plenty of it under this Moon. We are past the equinox, remember? That
means colder darker days are approaching and it's time to start
fattening up just a little...just enough...so that we are well
insulated and prepared for the winter. Heed that call in a healthy
way without tripping over body image issues. We are SUPPOSED to put
on a few pounds this time of year. There is a natural reason for it!
Venus ruled Sun? Venus ruled Moon? Yeah, we are getting more round
and that's ok. Just don't go overboard with it. Balance it out.
By 8:43
the Moon is ready getting ready to rest again following a sextile to
Chiron. Meanwhile, the Sun perfects in an inconjunct to Neptune at
11:05 PM and many will be snoooooring in restful sleep. Nice. At
midnight, we will call an end to September. In the morning, we wake
up to a brand new month on the calendar. This excites Jupiter and
Mars in Virgo. A fresh page to fill with to-do lists and a whole new
month to schedule! YAY! Yeah, Jupiter and Mars in Virgo are geeky
like that. I happen to like it. I suggest you go with it.

This
morning, not only do we flip to a new page on a calendar, but we
realize that in three months we will need a new one altogether
because we will be entering a brand new year. Wow. That's crazy to
fathom. Right? But, true none-the-less.
We find
the Moon still in Taurus early this morning and in square to her
current ruler, Venus in Leo. We are plodding and not moving really
quickly. The pace continues to slow as the Moon reaches Void status
immediately following this. She remains Void until entering Gemini at
4:04 PM.
Heaviness
finds us under that lunar shift as the first aspect made is a heavy
opposition to Saturn in Sagittarius. This tempers the Gemini Moon's
tendency toward fickleness. We are grounded and can feel the weight
of the work we have before us. Plus, there is a lunar square to Mars
in Virgo waxing in the rest of the evening. Triage and prioritize
tasks and schedule them all out. Make a plan of action so that the
tasks do not veer toward overwhelm. Clean something. Purge something.
Clear out gunk either internally or externally. It's time to get back
into some sort of sustainable routine now that the Universal weather
is starting to settle down a bit.
The
outlet for this mutable t-square falls in Pisces. So, grab a glass of
wine and turn on some tunes as you get started on your Fall cleaning
list. Also, don't work yourself into a deadened frenzy. Remember,
proper rest helps you be more productive. So, if the weight and
frustration got the better of you today, then cash in your chips and
get some sleep.
The
Moon trines her current retrograde ruler in Libra at 1:09 AM and then
squares Neptune in our early morning hours. We may wake up tomorrow
to drizzle and fog. But, that haze leaves us as tomorrow moves
forward. We may be feeling a little emotional and/or drained at the
end of this night.
Friday, October 2, 2015
Today,
the we wake up to the Moon still in Gemini. She has moved away from
her opposition with Saturn and subsequent square to Neptune and waxes
into a light and airy trine with our Sun in Libra (7:07 AM). This is
social and can be a bit chatty. It's conducive to a check in with
friends and partners. Mercury is still retrograde so be mindful of
the opportunity for miscommunication and ask for clarification if you
need it.
At
11:07 AM, the Moon is in square to Jupiter in Virgo and we are either
feeling really, really good or really, really bad. Jupiter has a
tendency to blow emotions out of proportion one way or another.
Again, if you meet a point of overwhelm, sort the details of the
situation out into a workable order. Take all the things and
categorize them. Then, diligently deal with them one piece at a time
instead of trying to do everything at once.
Overnight,
the Moon will square Chiron and sextile Uranus. Again, not all that
conducive to sleep but it is Friday...so you could stay up late
visiting with friends and...you know, remembering how to have a good
time for a change.

This,
my friends, is the nice and relaxing Saturday we've been yearning
for. We wake up with the Moon still in Gemini and waxing into a sweet
self-indulgent sextile with Venus in Leo. Treat yourself. Gather your
friends and seek out creature comforts and entertainment. It's a good
day to be social or just to withdraw into comfort. Aim to do
something you enjoy and take proper advantage of this blessed point
of ease. It's Fall Festival time! Pumpkins and hay bales and
scarecrows and OOOOH FUN! Get in on some of that!
Following
the sextile to Venus at 1:19 PM, the Moon is Void until entering
Cancer at 8:23 PM. Comfort food should be on the menu tonight.
Something made in a slow cooker would be awesome. Hearty stews.
Sauces simmered to the perfect consistency. Stuff that you make from
scratch and take plenty of time to imbibe with love.
This is
really a nice to day to earmark for relaxation and enjoyment. It's
great for homecoming celebrations and family gatherings. I don't
recommend starting a new check off activity on your to-do list.
Instead, let the list rest too and partake in some R&R. This is
the Universe's only directive today and you better bet we deserve it!
