Our
subdued Void Pisces Moon Saturday is over. This morning we wake up to
the Moon in Aries creating a nice stabilizing trine with Saturn in
Sagittarius at 7:48 AM. This is good news. Mercury and Venus are
fairly active today. It will be nice to greet their energy from an
energetic but stable position. At 11:30 AM, Mercury creates an
inconjunct with Chiron in Pisces. This is followed later in the day
by a conjunction from Venus to Jupiter (4:04 PM) and an opposition
from Mercury to Uranus (7:00 PM).
I'm
getting visions of the cartoon marketing character “Mr. Clean”
when considering these two aspects. Venus conjunct Jupiter is
indulgent and relaxing for the most part. But, consider their current
placement in Virgo. How would someone with an appreciation of Virgo
relax? With a good book, perhaps? By checking things off on their to
do list? By organizing and cleaning their space? That is relaxing?
For me it is. I have Venus in Virgo. Cleaning brings a certain type
of inner peace and comfort to me. But, that is not the only way to
use the energy. You can indulge in whatever pleasure appeals to you
but I recommend keeping it practical. You know? Indulge in a piece of
cake if that is your cup of tea; but, don't eat the whole dang thing.
Don't over-indulge, in other words, to the point that you make
yourself sick. Another way this can play out is bringing joy
(Jupiter) to service (Virgo) and benefit (Jupiter/Venus) from being
practical and orderly. Your Virgo skills pay off here. You see? We
reap and enjoy the fruits of the final harvest. Indulging for Venus
in Virgo could also include buying new school supplies. Pens,
notebooks, books...or even just visiting the library are practical
comforts this placement enjoys. Finding comfort in the “everyday”
and the “routine” is also a nice way for this conjunction to play
out. Small pleasures. Practical comforts. Joy in the simple.
Mercury
is in brand new territory, now, having left his shadow and finishing
his 3rd square with Pluto last week. Now, in opposition to
Uranus in Aries, the Me/We continuum is re-ignited and brought forth
into the equation in a new way. Uranus in Aries is the monicker of
self-reliance and independence. Sure, it can be the angry rebel, the
furious inventor, the catalyzing force of change. But, his highest
main objective is to encourage us to cut the cord on our dependencies
as much as we can. Examples of this? The tiny home trend (which makes
Venus/Jupiter in Virgo do joyful back flips) that allows folks to
operate without the weight (dependency) of a mortgage. Solar energy
and other ways to become independent of public utilities is another
agenda this placement pushes. It's also in charge of progressive
social groups and motivated individuals who are determined to bring
change to the world (some with wonderful intent, some with
subservient agendas...but all change pushers just the same). So, what
does an opposition to Mercury bring to the equation?
On a
positive level, collaborating with others in an effort to foster
creative change through brain storming and friendly exchange of ideas
is a wonderful way to express this energy. What doesn't work so well
is putting too much emphasis on the opinions of others to a degree
that it debases your ability to think for yourself. This opposition
can also pack some nervousness and anxiety. However, if you've leaned
into the wonderful practicality brought by Venus/Jupiter and taken
full advantage of the grounding potential brought by Moon/Saturn,
you'll handle that potential with much more ease. Inspiration can
bring nervousness in a good way through anticipation.
Yet, if
you allow the Venus/Jupiter energy to steer toward the
negative...becoming overly critical (of self or others) or overly
selfish in regard to your own agenda then the opposition of Mercury
to Uranus could spark arguments. Channeling the positive expressions
of each, though, can spark fresh new ideas for the future in which we
collaborate while maintaining an air of decorum within the discussion
so as not to debase the original purpose.
At
11:28 PM the Moon is in square to Pluto in Capricorn. If we've
managed the energy in the meat of the day to it's highest, then this
square can provide insight into the depths of our problems at hand
and give us opportunity to apply some of the solutions we obtained
during collaboration. Yet, the negative swing of these energies could
turn us into blood thirsty control freaks under Moon/Pluto. Paranoid.
Greedy. Plus, the way we handle today's energy has a tendency to
trickle and flow over into our tomorrow. So, work diligently to keep
your feet on the ground and err toward the practical. Retain your
ability to think for yourself but don't be afraid to collaborate with
others in an effort to gather more information that may be applicable
to your situation. Clean and organize your external space and allow
“as without; so within” to play out in your personal sphere as
that “clean, organized and practical energy” enters and affects
your body, mind and spirit. Mercury and Uranus produce electrical
current. Be sure you have your “wires” well insulated and
grounded to make an effective circuit. There's plenty of opportunity
to do that today.
It's
also a good idea to really focus on grounding today due the fact we
have a Full Moon waxing in due to perfect on Tuesday morning.
Emotions are growing along with the blossoming Moon that is coming to
the sign of Taurus. Get thy feet firmly on the ground. Literally,
even. Like take your shoes off and let your feet touch the ground.

Wakey,
wakey! Rise and Shine! Another Monday is calling! Loudly! This
morning we wake up to the Moon in Aries conjunct the Lightning God,
Uranus at 6:58 AM. The alarm clock rings clearly and loudly shocking
us out of our slumber. Time to get up and go! Yes, anxiety and
headaches are possible. But, so is a fire being lit under our
collective arses to get up and do something.
This
aspect also re-ignites the waning opposition of Mercury to Uranus
which perfected yesterday. The Moon opposes Mercury in Libra at 8:26
AM bringing punctuation to the importance of yesterday's
grounding/organizational efforts (or non-efforts). You'll definitely
feel the difference this morning.
After
this early morning opposition to Mercury, the Moon is Void until
entering Taurus tonight at 2:08 AM. So, how we start the day does
bear importance because the echoes of that “start” resound dully
throughout the rest of the day. We are poked by a cattle prod early.
How we handle it depends on how well we can absorb and process that
collective “shock.” Don't forget, the main thing is not to get
overly excited. Ground it out.
In the
most practical sense, if you can escape the potential of anxiety and
headaches, this is a great day to get a running start on projects
that have frayed ends. Nip and tuck. Sew and stitch.

The
Full Moon blossoms this morning at 8:06 AM in the sign of Taurus. The
Sun/Moon opposition occurs at 3 Taurus/Scorpio 45 and is dubbed “The
Full Frost Moon.” This officially heralds the end of the “harvest”
in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Night is overtaking the
daytime. It's time to turn the dirt over and let it rest until next
years' Spring planting. Overlay that metaphor onto your life. What
did you grow? What did you learn? What brought bountiful harvest and
what efforts fell flat?
Venus,
the Moon's ruler, in opposition to Chiron punctuates this assessment
allowing us to take a clear and practical look at our shortcomings.
Where can we put forth better effort? Where are we wasting our care
giving and serving energy? How are we hurting ourselves by being
overly self-critical? Are we over-doing in our “helping” because
we believe it will fill some empty hole inside of us? Or are we
completely filled up so that it trickles over giving us extra to
share? Only you can answer that question. But, the answers to those
questions are hugely informative on a personal level.
At 1:32
PM the Moon is sextile to Neptune bringing softening to our Full
Moon. This creates clay...in metaphorical land. Wonderful shape-able
clay that can be used to create just about anything we want. The
energy brought forth from the Full Moon brings what is deeply inside
us out into tangible reality. Regardless of what that inside out
product looks like, the energy from Neptune will help us smooth out
the rough edges and shape it into something we can eventually use. Of
course, emotion and creativity are called for in that exercise. Put
your hands in the mud. Shape it. Mold it. Create in the tangible
world.
By
11:16 PM the Moon is in rich trine with Pluto. The potential of
expression and creation is accentuated. Our creation is taking solid
form. The Moon is also waxing into trine with Jupiter in Virgo (3:50
AM). Such grounding, uplifting and supportive Earth energy is on
hand. Taking advantage of that includes getting real. Smoothness.
Diligence. Practicality. Grounded efforts with sustainable results.
Cutting through the bullshit and getting down to the true business at
hand are the ways to go. Overcoming fear and dealing in the realm of
reality. And...by the way...it's a really good day for sex magic.
It's a really good day for sex, period, and indulging in pleasures of
the body and of the tangible. Manifestation is also entirely
possible. Fertility is likely high. It's the deepest of the deep and
the highest of the high when viewed from a stable emotional position.
Act on the massive grounding support of the rich dark Earth energy
accessible here. It holds tremendous healing and regenerative
potential.
All in
all, I see a lot of mud in today. In the real world, we could hear of
actual mudslides. Why? Remember this metaphor? “It's time to turn
the dirt over and let it rest until next years' Spring planting.”
Well, Mother Nature already knows this. Deterioration will become
apparent with the Sun in Scorpio and Pluto re-tracing the final few
degrees (for a third time) he has to go before he exits his shadow
and officially enters brand new territory. Decay is brought to focus.
Jupiter's involvement shines a spotlight on the fistula while the
Moon stands strong in assessment from her knee deep position within
the mud. It's all real. The effects are tangible. What will you make
from it? Will you allow it to embitter you? Will trial make you
stronger? Will you learn from your mistakes? Scorched Earth has the
potential to eventually be wonderfully fertile ground. What has
happened has happened. All that is left for us to do is fix what is
in dis-repair and heal as we continue to move forward...through the
rich full moonlit swamp.

Nighttime
is chased away in the swamp by daylight this morning. The Moon in
Taurus meets Venus in Virgo adding to the Earth Trine energy an
appreciation for helping others, making order out of chaos, sorting
through via triage and remaining practical (7:23 AM). Motivation
follows desire as the Moon subsequently finds Mars in Virgo by trine
at midday (11:21 AM). We aren't moving quickly. But, we are moving
steadily...bringing completion to tasks one at a time. Step by step.
Trudge by trudge. Progress is slow but sturdy.
Follow
the momentum. From the trine with Mars, the Moon is Void until
entering Gemini at 2:25 AM.

We move
from yesterday's slow plodding clean-up into today's potential for
overwhelm. We wake up to the Moon in Gemini opposing Saturn in
Sagittarius. It's a long hard journey ahead. There are many tasks
requiring your attention. There is a part of you that wants to rush
in and tackle them all at once. There is another part of you that
wants to throw a blanket over it and pretend it isn't there. There
may be a third part that just wants to melt into the ground in tears
and exhaustion because it's just...so...much.
Deeeep
breath. Find your truth. Find your faith. Find your patience. And,
put all that to work. Deal with what is right in front of you first.
Then, move on to the next thing. Then, the next thing and whatever.
But, don't worry about the next thing until you deal with the thing
at hand first. Pull your focus in on what needs to be dealt with
first. Keep your long-term goal in mind but be able to pull yourself
into the step you are in right now in order to get there. Remain
flexible and practical. Remember where our “benefics” are (Venus
and Jupiter) in Virgo. Take everything and put it in order according
to priority. Line it out instead of letting it all pile on top of
you.
The
Moon moves from her opposition with Saturn into a square with Neptune
in Pisces at 2:11 PM. Boundaries blur. Rules bend. Compassion comes
with boundaries while some boundaries are blurred by compassion and
empathy. Perspective shifts. Gray and uncertain areas appear.
Questions arise. Dizziness and a general feeling of depressed malaise
is entirely possible. On the same note, blockages could be dissipate.
Or confusion could meet with stabilization. The veil is not even
paper thin. Reality is completely transparent. The Moon subsequently
waxes into square with Jupiter overnight (5:49 AM). Whatever
Saturn/Moon/Neptune brings...it grows exponentially under the cover
of night.

This
morning a sextile from Uranus to the Moon right after dawn fosters a
sense of hope and potentially, inspiration (8:04 AM). We still have
the brief sense of potential overwhelm to deal with but our
give-a-damn breaks just enough to enable us to handle it more
effectively.
By
early afternoon the Moon is in square to Venus in Virgo (12:49 PM)
reminding us to steer away from fickleness and steer toward the
practical. Keep sorting. Keep up the triage. Keep dealing with one
mess at a time instead of trying to tackle everything at once. Help
where you can. Ask for help when you are in need. Remain humble and
focused.
Airy
Mercury and Earthy Mercury energy continues to mix and swirl as the
Moon in Gemini next finds Mars in Virgo (3:24 PM). Again, motivation
follows desire. Don't just think about fixing something. Get busy
doing it. Whittle down your options.
Meanwhile,
the Sun perfects in trine to Neptune in Pisces today (5:06 PM). We
are dreamy, creative..perhaps a little sleepy, even. Subdued, at
least. Softened. Intuitive.
By late
evening, there is wonderful opportunity to reach out to friends and
sink into some social pleasures. A few drinks. A few ghost stories.
Good music. The Moon finds Mercury in Libra by trine at 10:52 PM.
From here, she is Void until entering Cancer at 5:08 AM Halloween
Morning.
The
veil of reality is still holding transparency. Would be a good night
to really entertain ghosts, spirits and dwellers of the Netherworld
if you are into that type of thing. Tis definitely the season.
Meditation.
Hypnosis. Sleep therapy. Drifting around in graveyards or out in the
misty night like a vaporous creature yourself. Haunting. Costume
wearing...ah, just in time...are all also wonderful expressions of
tonight's energy. It's deeply, deeply feminine, though, and that
energy expands as we reach Halloween.

Happy
Halloween! Today, rich feminine energy seeps forth through the Earth.
We are greeted this morning by the Moon in Cancer waxing into a
glorious water trine with the Sun in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces.
This flowing, intuitive, deep and enriching water trine flows over
the entirety of the day allowing us to get in tune with our most deep
inner stirrings.
It is
imaginative. It is creative. It is intuitive. It is feel more than it
is “know.” It is ethereal more than it is “tangible.” It is
mysterious and subdued. Alluring and comforting. Soft, yet powerful.
Flowing. Don't fight it. Surrender to it. Sink deep or float...but
don't resist following where the flow takes you.
It's a
perfectly bewitching night. So, if you are good at being
witchy....(wink, wink...haunting giggle)
