This morning the Moon in Sagittarius
made a nice sextile with the Sun in Libra. From here, she is Void
until entering Capricorn at 2:53 PM.
Mars and Jupiter are still huddled up
in Virgo while trining Pluto. Venus is pulling out of Neptune's orb
but may still be a little drunk.
What this means is we will have this
energy to work with, without the power of the Moon until our late
afternoon hours. The first aspect the Moon makes today from Capricorn
is a sextile to Neptune in Pisces at 4:26 AM on the morning of the
19th.
You can earmark this day for just about
anything you would like except for starting something new (unless it
is in the early evening) or engaging in something that requires
emotional influence. Emotions are largely subdued and it's hard to
“get into” what we have planned for the day. But, toiling? Yes.
Tidying? Yes. Resting? Yes. Social affairs are not contra-indicated
but they may lack luster in the early part of the day. “Meh”
illustrates it nicely. Sometimes a boring day ain't so bad to have.
It's also a good day to eat
cake...because it's my birthday!

This morning we wake up to
the Capricorn Moon in square to Mercury in Libra at 6:15 AM. This can
cause friction between information and emotion as they are currently
at cross purposes. Perhaps we are trying to figure out an amicable
way to address a work issue. Perhaps we are trying to work but our
friends keep blowing up our phone. It could be that we need to engage
in something but we are having trouble making up our mind about what
to do first. Maybe we are procrastinating or trying to over-perfect
while getting swamped in the details.
At it's worst, this energy
can cause arguments or even manifest as nervousness, anxiety or
headaches. To use it at it's highest expression, be mindful of your
overall plan and sort the details out responsibly and diligently.
Deal with your emotions before you deal with the information. Be
responsible in your speech and don't over fluff...keep true to the
facts even if the facts may not be readily welcomed. You can still
deliver them with a smile. With Mercury in Libra, the expression you
“reflect” on your face is just as important as the words coming
from your mouth. Be wary of projection with planets in the sign. But,
also know when to recognize when it is a good time to mirror
someone's behavior or counter-balance it (anger counter balanced by
love or love meets love, for example). But...lots...and I do mean
LOTS depends on the presentation. If you want, you can strategically
choose the mask you need. Also, know that things smooth out and get
revved up as the day moves forward. So don't allow this aspect to
trip you up too much.
By 8:38 AM, the Moon is in
trine to Venus in Virgo. This is steady eddy Earth energy that can be
just as smooth as melting chocolate. What Capricorn and Virgo can do
together is suss out the details of a workable and far reaching plan.
One of the main focuses? Caring for your health (Venus in Virgo) in
the interest of your longevity (Moon in Capricorn). Getting organized
or buying new organizational tools (Venus in Virgo) to help with the
“business of your life” (Moon in Capricorn). There is also a call
to get down to the nitty gritty details of what needs to be done
while clearing out anything that may serve as a distraction to what
you are trying to do. Streamline. Organize. Make your work space
clean, comfortable and make it easier on yourself to find what you
need when you need it.
Just don't go all control
freak about that. The Moon is also due to meet up with Pluto by
conjunction at 3:13 PM. That could bring control in as a factor. It
could also mean we are looking at things too closely or becoming
obsessed over the details. We could also feel overwhelmed with the
amount of clean up we have ahead of us after Venus' recent washout.
There is no need to be
overwhelmed. Look at the situation practically and know that you will
have the energy to get stuff back together through the Moon's trine
to both Jupiter (5:51 PM) and Mars (7:27 PM) in Virgo later today.
Small precise diligently paced steps toward a larger goal are key.
Jot down the end goal and delineate the steps you need to get there.
All the while, we are tossing out things that are not conducive to
that end goal and cutting away distraction. Obsession and a desire to
control every little thing are distractions. So, steer Moon/Pluto's
energy toward focus and endurance instead.
This is mountain moving
energy right here. Serious strides forward can be made if you know
where you are going. Having a goal or something to shoot toward is of
great importance otherwise you could run around chasing your tail
most of the day. Set your goal, long term or short, even if that goal
is only “I'm going to clean this kitchen today!” And, yeah, par
for the course, with a stellium in Virgo the energy is always there
to clean something. As without, so within. External organizing,
cleaning and sorting helps the emotional body follow in tow. There
isn't much space for floating around in this day. Work to keep your
feet firmly on the ground while fostering common sense and
practicality. No fluff...at all.
We end this day with a lunar
sextile to Chiron at 11:47 PM followed shortly after by a lunar
square to Uranus (12:26 AM). The lunar square to Uranus can be
emotionally catalyzing...shocking even. However, if you've maintained
a sense of grounding (which is blessedly gifted through these
magnificent Earth trines), then you'll be able to greet this
catalyzing energy more effectively. Cleaning and sorting could open
room for epiphanies of inspiration through this square. It could be
something that brings new and inventive approaches (Uranus in Aries)
to long standing problems (Moon in Capricorn). But, we are going to
have to reach for the grounding in the atmosphere to swing it that
way. Know some may have trouble sleeping tonight, though, for various
reasons...anxiety and nervousness being one of them.

This morning we wake up with
the Moon still in Capricorn and waxing into square with the Sun in
Libra to create our First Quarter Moon. The pressure is on,
basically. This aspect perfects at 27 Cardinal 08 at 4:33 PM.
If you got down to business
yesterday, this square is going to be managed much more easily.
However, if you are procrastinating or waiting for someone else to do
the work you are really going to feel pressure here. The Sabians for
this first Quarter Moon read as follows (From Dane Rudhyar's book,
The Wheel of Significance):
For the Moon at 28
Capricorn: The aviary of a rural mansion filled with singing birds.
Enhancement of personality by familiarity with spiritual values.
Joying in the significance of things; or mental confusion.
For the Sun at 28 Libra:
A man in deep gloom. Unnoticed angels come to his help. Spiritual
sustainment given to him who opens himself to his full destiny. Slow
realization of betterment. Unsolicited help.
Ok, given that this Quarter
waxes in all day we are likely to feel the pressure pop as it
perfects. Sometimes, things seem insurmountable and impossible to
manage. Maybe you weren't procrastinating but just have waaaaaaaay
too much on your plate and don't know what to do with it all. You've
whittled things down and toiled...but still, there is an overwhelming
amount of stuff left to do and you aren't sure how you are going to
manage it. There are missing answers, perhaps. Bear in mind that as
soon as this First Quarter perfects, the Moon reaches Void status
until entering Aquarius at 9:39 PM.
With the Sabians mention of
“angelic help” and “spiritual values” this Lunar movement
would be great for listing out all the unresolved stuff you have and
metaphorically handing it over to the Universe to deal
with...surrendering it. With all this energy in Virgo, we are very to
be “ DIY fixers” right now. However, there are some things that
need to be fixed whose solution may be elusive at this point. Don't
be afraid...dear Virgo, inclined, to ask for help either from friends
of the Earthly or Ethereal type. Admitting you need help may be the
hardest part in that. If you do toss the remainder of your
unmanageables up to the Universe to deal with, then subsequently
foster a sense of trust that it will deal with them accordingly.
Remain open to accepting help and watch for it arrive.

Overnight we were steadied
by a sextile from the Moon in Aquarius in sextile to Saturn in
Sagittarius (2:50 AM). From here, the Moon makes a windy trine with
Mercury at 6:13 PM.
This is a great day for
collaboration and socialization. Thoughts can be exchanged at a rapid
pace and analyzed dispassionately for the most part. It's a great day
for hanging out with friends. But, chances are your brain and your
ears could be tired by the end the day. Falling leaves are whirling
and swirling in the wind, today. A nearly tribal call stirs beneath
the wind that beats for a sense of responsibility in our storytelling
and history making wrapped up in sense of social consciousness.
The rest of the evening, the
Moon makes inconjuncts to Venus (6:23 PM), Jupiter (11:49 PM) and
Mars (3:04 AM). This cluster in Virgo is now packed between 11 and 16
degrees. Venus and Jupiter are almost close enough to Uranus to make
a second inconjunct and create a Yod, but Mars is already close
enough. He sits at the apex with Moon in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries
forming the base. If you have planets between 11 and 16 Scorpio, you
have a 2nd Yod in this set up with the Finger pointing at
the Moon.
How do you use a Yod? Work
the energy in the base sextile to it's highest expression in order to
guide/operate the Apex planet. The base in this equation says, the
way we feel about innovation, change and freedom (Moon/Uranus)
subsequently directs our actions (Mars). The higher we can push our
emotional intelligence (Moon/Uranus), the more able we are to bring
practicality to our motivation, engage in the clean up or serve the
collective (Mars in Virgo). The more socially aware and conscious we
are (Moon/Uranus), the more we are willing to pitch in to help fix
things (Mars in Virgo). On the converse (negative pole) the more
emotionally reactive (Moon/Uranus) we are, the more self-critical and
immobile, due our obsession with perfection, we become (Mars in
Virgo). On a really simple level, in this instance? Mixing Uranian
and Virgo energy is like Spock teaming up with Yoda. Let those two
modern day archetypes roll around in your mind and figure out how
those two would come together and make something happen.
For a less theatrical and
more practical take consider this: If, in change, you can see
opportunity; then, you can present your best efforts to serve that
change. It makes me think of a person who has been a nurse for a
very long time. Now, at the hospital where she works, they are
introducing a new computer program. If, the nurse can see that this
technological change can become a tool which she can use to better
serve her patients; then, she can use the technology
(change/Moon/Uranus) to enhance her service skills (Mars in Virgo).
However if she becomes nervous, anxious, rejects or rebels against
the change (Moon/Uranus), she could miss the opportunity to expand
her skills and abilities (Mars in Virgo). She could quickly fall
behind in her currently evolving field. See how that works?

Early this morning the air
crackles beneath a sextile from the Moon in Aquarius and Uranus in
Aries. The Yod has fully blossomed calling us to hold our duty to
service (Mars in Virgo) at the forefront as we imbibe that duty with
a push toward social service (Moon in Aquarius) while using our own
unique approach (Uranus in Aries). There is no need to make this a
debate over what needs to be done. The only call here is to get
started doing something to help. It's not too hard to figure out
where you need to put your best efforts.
By 5:20 PM, though,
Mercury's perspective is darkened and deepened by a third square to
Pluto in Capricorn. There could be mind control tactics in place or
forceful words exchanged. Paranoia may become a factor as well as
mental obsession. The worst of the worst? Our polite Mercury in Libra
may slip and drop an F-bomb or two. That fact makes me smile but for
some it could be offensive or embarrassing.
The best way to swing this
square is to foster a sense of focus. Use this energy to squeeze the
negative thoughts right out of you. Release them instead of letting
them swirl around in your head. You could also dig deeply into any
issues you may be dealing with while researching for answers.
Investigation to either support or dissipate your paranoia is
possible. Conversations between folks of power and deals with the
Devil can also be made under this sky. Most folks will be holding
information quite tightly to their chests, though. I suggest reading
a good mystery novel in lieu of selling your soul. But, it is also an
EXCELLENT day to tweak your scary Halloween costumes and/or décor.
Tonight would also be a good night for a horror flick. Double bonus
if you get to the theater early enough for the cheap seat matinee.
This makes our Sun at the end of Libra very, very happy. Friends and
a good deal! Sweet!
Our Day of Thor comes to a
close with the Moon in Aquarius making a nice air trine with the Sun
around midnight. This is the Moon's last check in with our Sun in
Libra. By the time these two bodies make direct contact again, the
Sun will be in Scorpio.
As the Moon in Aquarius
kisses the Sun in Libra goodnight and goodbye, she reaches Void
status until entering Pisces at 1:19 AM.

Wow. At first glance, this
day looks pretty eventful while also being quite deep and intense.
WELCOME TO SCORPIO SEASON! Ok, the Moon is in Pisces this morning so
the waters may rise in the realm of emotions. Intuition is kicking.
“Swampy” is the word the Universe is giving me right now in
relation to this.
Venus found Pluto by rich
decadent trine at 3:39 AM. I have a love/hate relationship with
Venus/Pluto. And, that's pretty much par for the course with these
two in aspect. There is both a magnetic push and pull associated with
the energy. This is rich and Earthy. We may unexpectedly run into old
friends or past lovers. But, the aspect isn't forceful so this could
actually be a good thing. Relationships can be restored and repaired
under this aspect. Existing strong relationships are imbibed with
tremendous power that enhances intimacy. And, we may just be able to
attract exactly what we've always dreamed of attracting under this
sky. However, this sky is not just all about reaping the rewards
(Venus in Virgo) of the efforts of your hard work (Pluto in
Capricorn). There is more going on than just this. Venus trine Pluto
is an important component of this sky though, so don't forget that no
matter what else is going on your deepest desires are swirling and
swirling. Are you attracting or repulsing? Are you afraid of getting
what you want? That's repulsing. Or, are you willing to do your part
in obtaining the stirrings or your heart? That's attraction. Alluring
is strongly alluring these days.
Mars opposes Chiron (ouch)
at 4:47 AM. Hearts are restored (Venus/Pluto) but our physical body
may be hindered, in pain, sick or washed out. There is also a chance
for triggers to be tripped which kicks up our ire. Mars in Virgo is a
Mercury/Mars aspect in and of itself. Be wary of clumsiness and
distraction that can result in true physical injury with The
Trickster and The Warrior in play. To best swing this opposition,
balance out the two sides. Recognize where the pain is (Chiron in
Pisces) and work to nurse it back to health (Mars in Virgo). Fevers
due illness are also possible here. So are stomach and digestive
issues (ulcers, stomach flu, etc). Whether you suffer from physical
illness or from the pains of remorse, worry and regret, treat the
sickness accordingly. You can anesthetize the pain a bit but don't
ignore or deny its existence. Treat the underlying cause instead of
just trying to mask the symptoms. Get to the root of the problem.
By 6:36 AM, the Moon is in
square to Saturn (if you've noticed, we haven't even made it to
sunrise yet). This square can be ridiculously depressing. However,
used at it's highest, it can be very grounding and assist us in
forming emotional boundaries. It is definitely sober and that's kind
of disappointing to Moon in Pisces. Yet the grounding potential
brought forth by Saturn, here, could be the traction we need to start
our morning. It could also be the aspect that keeps us hiding under
the covers too. Not in fear but in withdraw. Pisces Moon likes the
peace, solitude and quiet found in the dark.
By midday, that pull to
withdraw and seek solitude may increase as the Moon in Pisces finds
Neptune by conjunction (1:18 PM) just before the Sun dives into
Scorpio (1:47 PM). Gosh this has the potential, weather wise, to be a
dark, potentially stormy and gloomy day. That sounds pretty sweet to
me. But, for some, it may work only to increase the tendency toward
depression. Please be easy with yourself if you are suffering under
this sky.
Know that if you are
suffering from illness you have not failed! It's not that you have
not swung this energy appropriately or done something wrong. Sickness
sometimes just happens, you know? The only thing you will be doing
wrong in this equation is failing to pay heed to the needs of your
physical body and, instead, punishing yourself either physically (by
not resting, for example) or emotionally (by becoming swamped in the
isolation). If you are sick, don't become Typhoid Mary. Stay home and
take care of yourself. You can afford that service to yourself
instead of beating yourself up for what you cannot physically achieve
right now. Be pro-active in your own self-care. All people who are
able to provide the highest level of service to others know this. You
must give yourself the same consideration you would give others or
your ability to serve sours.
By 11:08 PM, our emotional
bodies have a chance at restoration with a lunar sextile to Pluto.
Supportive grounding, endurance, emotional forbearance and fortitude
are delivered here. We may just survive after all.
The day ends, though, just
as deep as it began. However, there was a chance to rebuild, restore
and treat our wounded areas. This, of course, is solely an inside
job. Hopefully you took the opportunity. This is by no means easy
work; but, it is definitely worthy work.
Overnight the Moon continues
working opposing Venus at around midnight and subsequently Jupiter at
2:42 AM. Overcome swamping emotions by seeking practical comforts.
Sort out the facts and details of the situation while examining your
emotions attached to each. But, you've got to calm the heck down to
do this. This also calls for a balancing between want (Venus) and
need (Moon). Let loose of any martyring or self-victimizing
tendencies you have. Instead of wringing your hands in worry, put
them to work finding solutions. If you are sick (mentally,
emotionally or physically), get thyself treatment.
How all this activity is
handled will determine how Moon opposite Jupiter is experienced.
Whatever we are feeling grows. Keep that in mind as we traverse this
day. I'm seeing the potential for drug overdoses in this mix either
by accident or deliberately. Of course, this potential exists EVERY
DAY, but the sky delivers quite a toxic set up for it to be “thing”
today. Be mindful of your addictions; because, they certainly could
make you sick. If you are physically sick already, take the proper
dose of medication and be mindful of what you mix together ESPECIALLY
if you are taking OTC cold/flu remedies and herbal supplements. Check
for potential adverse interactions. Please, please, please be easy
with yourself today. We are certainly plunging the deepest of the
deep here. With the dawning of Scorpio season, I would expect nothing
less. The Universe wastes no time in pushing us into the deep end
this year.

Early this morning, the Moon
lights up the waning opposition between Mars and Chiron between 6 and
7 AM. From here, the Moon is Void until entering Aries at 2:23 AM. We
are left to quietly address our personal dis-ease. Again, be
proactive in your self-care whether that care needs to be directed at
your physical, emotional, logical or psychic body---or the whole of
you. Either way, whether you are sick or not, today should be
earmarked as a day of rest and restoration in preparation for the
more active Aries Moon we will encounter tomorrow and Monday. Noting
where the periods of rest occur within the Universe is just as
important as noting the active times or getting heads up about
potentially volatile times. Usually the opportunity to rest is
delivered exactly when the Universe knows we will need it. So take
the heads up and catch up on some rest and relaxation...healing and
restoration...as the window opens wide for those opportunities today.
