This morning we wake up
under an intense Aries Moon in square to Pluto (9:00 AM) as the Sun
moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius at 10:26 AM. It USED to be that
when I saw the Sun moving into Sagittarius, I'd expect to see the
turning on of holiday lights. I still expect that; but, the trend for
this actually seems to be shifting toward folks turning on holiday
lights earlier and earlier each year. I don't mind it. But, for me,
today, my “ominous” emotional activity (Moon/Pluto) will involve
crawling up in my attic to retrieve my own holiday lights (Sun in
Sagittarius). I'm sure there will be a few gently remorseful pangs
with that as I realize this may be the last year I decorate for the
holidays in this home. It's fun and celebratory. But, there is also a
bit of remorse. What I've just told you does kind of color the energy
for today. The circumstances that find folks and fosters these
feelings will of course be different. But, the core feeling is the
same. Joy and Pain. Attempting to find hope in the future but still
grieving and perhaps a bit fearful at the same time.
At 11:57 AM want and need
face off through a Lunar opposition to Venus in Libra. Balance it
out. Make sure you have your basic needs met before you try to
accommodate folks. Realize you can't always get just your way.
Sometimes, we must compromise.
Shortly after this
opposition the Moon meets Uranus by conjunction at 2:17 PM. This can
be indicative of frazzled nerves, impulsiveness or...by then you may
be plugging your lights in to test them out. We could be inclined to
gather with friends or social groups. Who would have thought that
putting up holiday decorations would ever be considered an act of
rebellion. But, this year, it very well could be. Don't let any one
tell you how you should or should not celebrate. On that same note,
be accepting of how others choose to celebrate or not. Do what you do
but don't think that gives you license to enforce “your methods”
on the world. Alright? There really is room for everyone to do their
own thing.
Overall, it's a pretty
active evening. Sun and Moon are both in fire signs. Moving around
and perhaps even getting out and about are wonderful expressions of
Fire energy. Trying to sit still with it can be unnerving. Not being
active can also make the harsher aspects coming from the Moon to day
harder to wrangle.
After the conjunction with
Uranus, our Emperor Moon rests until entering Taurus at 11:26 AM
tomorrow. Use the rest of the evening to rest up for the incoming
week.

This morning starts out
slow. The Moon in Aries is Void until later in the morning when she
passes into Taurus. Its a rather routine morning and many will be
glad for that. Sometimes the mundane and predictable are welcomed.
Especially after a long period of flux like we encountered last week.
Enjoy the humdrum of the morning. There are few chances such as this
found in this week on the whole.
After the Moon enters Taurus
at 11:26 AM, we begin to feel the unpredictable pressure of Venus
waxing into opposition with Uranus. And, yeah. The collective will
likely “feel” this energy given that Venus currently holds
rulership over our emotional bodies. In some ways, this feels like
social pressure toward change against what we feel is of importance.
Perhaps, even against the grain of our personal values.
The opposition between Venus
and Uranus perfects at 5:13 PM on 16 Libra/Aries 59 with Uranus still
traveling retrograde. No, sweethearts, things are never going to be
the same. Our Taurus laden selves may not be so comfortable with
that. Change does not come easily for these folks. As a matter of
fact, I've found that change doesn't come easily for most.
The Sabian Symbols for this
opposition are as follows (from Dane Rudyar's book, The Wheel of
Significance):
For Venus at 17 Libra:
Retired sea captain in uniform watches ships sail. Vicarious
or mellow participation in life. Transfer of activity from physical
to mental; or self-involvement in the past.
For Uranus RX at 17
Aries: Two prim spinsters are sitting together in silence.
Poised and dispassionate outlook, involving either great dignity and
integrity of self or inability to live life fully.
Do you see what I see? The
parallel's between the sabians? In the Venus symbol, we have a
retired sea captain, in uniform, watching ships sail...without him.
Reminders of a part of his life that have passed. What do you think
he is thinking? Feeling? Remorse? Pride? Nostalgia? Does he notice
how much even the ships have changed since he retired?
On the other side of the
fence, we have the Uranus symbol. As a review, Uranus first crossed
the 17th degree of Aries on April 17th of this
year. He moved forward as far as 20 degrees of Aries before turning
retrograde at the beginning of September. He is slowing down now
preparing to turn direct on December 26th at 16 degrees.
He is nearing the end of his backward journey. Uranus is our social
consciousness. He is our uniqueness, our individual freedoms, our
ability to introduce, experience and experiment with the new. He is
advanced technology. In Aries, he is the progressive pioneer. The
freedom fighter. The instigator of change and aggressive advancement.
In the position he finds himself in now, he has reviewed events he ha
experienced between April and September of last year. He has seen
where he yanged when he should have yinned and vice versa. He has
become more wise and that wisdom continues to grow as Uranus is,
right this second, still inconjunct to Jupiter in Virgo. He is also
still in semi-sextile to Chiron in Pisces. Chiron in Pisces is
slowing down in preparation to turn direct, too. Both energies are
vibrating strongly in our atmosphere right now while subsequently
falling under the influence of Jupiter and Pluto...and soon enough,
Saturn.
Now. Look at the two
spinsters. What do you think they are thinking? What made them
spinsters? What do they see in their reflective glances that give
them an opportunity to do a long quiet assessment of their life? Are
they happy? Do they feel like they allowed themselves to live? Or,
are they remorseful because they feel they have never fully
experienced life because of any manner of reasons...continually
striving to please others, obey all the rules, never taking
risks...the list is endless. Or, are they sitting in contentment
recounting all the memories they have made and all the times they
allowed themselves to live...really...live? What do you catch
yourself projecting onto each one of these archetypes? You realize
that image could teach you a thing or two about yourself, right?
Mind you, these personal
assessments...such as the one's the retired sea captain and spinsters
are entertaining...are taking place all over the place under this
sky. Gut checks. Pluto is in the very last few minutes of the 13th
degree. Meaning, he is on the symbol of the mayan bass relief but
will soon get himself an entirely new theme. But, we are collectively
most certainly and most assuredly assessing our “mark on history”
right now. Did we do the right thing? When they read about this in
the history books, what will it say? How can we change to do things
more effectively?
The Moon is stable in
Taurus. The sky gives her wonderful support in this sign during these
times. So, we will have emotional stability and a sense of grounding
to guide us into these personal assessments, which is a good thing.
By 10:51 PM, the Moon is in
sextile to Neptune. Eyelids are heavy. Some may cry in remorse. Some
may just feel fatigue. But, many are subdued in one way or another as
bedtime approaches.
Overnight, Mars in Libra
meets Saturn by sextile (00:19 AM). Motivations stabilize. Actions
are supported by responsibility. A feeling that will carry over into
our tomorrow.

Today,
the Moon receives tremendous support. We awake with our Taurus Moon
in trine to Pluto in Capricorn (9:56 AM). Fortitude and emotional
strength wax over the collective. There is not much room for denial.
But, there is a certain air of determination in play. The Moon's
condition combined with the energy coming from the waning Mars/Saturn
sextile says mountains will likely be moved today. There is just that
much strength and grunt involved in this sky. The bull is pulling a
heavy plow with its blade wedged deeply in rich Earth successfully
leaving a large mark upon the surface behind him. No one is going to
be willing to budge much.
At the
end of our work day, the Moon receives support from fastidious,
diligent and practical Jupiter in Virgo. Sweat, callused hands, tired
bodies and satisfaction are the rewards awaiting us at the end of
this trudging day. The evaluation of our progress comes as Mercury
finds Saturn in Sagittarius at 11:58 PM. Will you hear, “Job well,
done” or “You are not fully working to your true capacity”?
Well. That depends on you. Doesn't it?
Progress
will be slow but sure today. Keep trudging forward. One chunk after
another chunk. Move forward with resolve but realize it's a waste of
time trying to push someone else off their rut. Focus on the our own
path and continue plowing forward.
Overnight,
Mercury squares off with Neptune (2:15 AM). Dreams are certainly in
vogue. As are deliberately created mirages and veils. Entertain the
positive expression of this energy and sleep, dream, listen to music,
be entertained by fiction or manifest a vision of your own through
your powers of artistic expression. But, know the entire time, that
all information being delivered right now should be fact checked and
tested before it is to be believed. Watch for what is not being said.
Also?
With Mercury waxing into square with Neptune all day and perfecting
overnight...expect some news about wet and potentially severe
weather. That usually happens when these two clash. It's not likely
to be a bright sunny day in many areas today or overnight. Matter of
fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Mother Nature revolts a lot from the
middle through the end of this week.
The
Moon in Taurus is Void following her trine with Jupiter at 8:26 PM.
So, at least our emotional body can rest for just a bit.
Wednesday, November 25,

This
morning the Moon in Taurus is still Void. However, Mercury has been
quite the busy body. After his conjunction with Saturn and square
with Neptune last night, this morning he is waxing into sextile with
Mars in Libra. Plans are being made. Given that Mercury is in
Sagittarius and Mars is in Libra, some of those plans may involve
international military strategy. Yeah...that phrase fits the bill.
The motivation? Action taken by allies (Mars in Libra). To work
together. To find a common ground. To build a strategy. And, I assure
you, the talks are rather serious but there is an element of
confusion, concern, uncertainty and compassion mixed up in them, too.
These
conversations become influenced by our emotional body as the Moon
enters Gemini (a Mercury ruled sign, no less) at 12:16 PM. From here,
emotionality becomes a huge factor as a matter of fact because the
next movement is the perfection of our Full Moon in Gemini at 3
Gemini/Sagittarius 20 perfecting at 5:45 PM EST. Few skies will be
clear enough to see this Moon, I'm betting.
The
question I see in this Moon? How will the actions of the foreign and
the International affect my neighborhood (Gemini)? My home (Moon)?
These are answers that the collective wants in response to any action
leadership may make. What changes the world (Sagittarius) eventually
comes home to roost (Moon). And, lord knows the Gemini child is the
one that is always questioning “why” so, there will be lots of
those tossed around today. The problem with that is, no one really
knows. We won't know until we know. We can assess, predict and
project but that doesn't mean that's how it's going to play out,
right? Nobody knows.
The
Sabian for the Sun at 4 Sagittarius: Watched by happy parents,
a child takes his first steps. Life's kindliness in creating safe
opportunities to growth. Full appreciation of opportunity. Crisis in
self-development.
The
Sabian for the Moon at 4 Gemini: Holly and Mistletoe bring
Christmas Spirit. Holiday spirit as an attempt to preserve for
individuals the wealth and power of racial background. Social warmth.
Look,
man. Before all this “real serious shit” broke loose in the
world, lots of folks were upset with a coffee cup. By any chance, did
anyone learn anything from that? Can we stop the Holy-Holiday Wars
already and realize the point of this entire season that falls with
the Sun under the rulership of Jupiter means to foster a sense of
gratitude, wisdom, generosity and warmth regardless of the path you
use to find to get to that place? Jesus, Mary, Zeus, Athena, Odin and
the Apostles! And, their three little wise men too! Santa and
Muhammad, and all the other Gods and Goddesses or non-Gods and
Goddesses! If I'm going to blaspheme I want to cover all my bases.
Hu-fucking-ray for whatever raises your faith and makes you feel like
you are connected to something larger than you are. Go forth and
celebrate, or not, however you feel that celebration should look like
but don't be a pontificating asshole because there is NOT ONE..NOT
ONE SINGLE TRUE BELIEF SYSTEM THAT TELLS YOU THAT BEING A
PONTIFICATING ASSHOLE IS ALRIGHT. I have a Budda statue sitting right
next to my Christmas tree. Do you think that makes sense to anybody
but me? Do you think I care or that I think you are doing something
wrong if you don't have a Budda next to your Christmas tree? Ahem.
Sorry, found one of my own soap boxes right there. But, seriously. I
wish the world would get over it. If you cannot see how that
mentality of “my way is the only way to righteousness and the
truth” is part of the damn problems we are having in this world
then...I don't what to say to you...other than SURPRISE! Because, it
is.
This
Full Moon brings an element of launching something, taking a risk,
letting go enough of something to let it grow and being cognizant of
how to live in a world of diversity without constantly pitting those
diverse elements against each other. It's about finding the truth and
sharing it with others without forcing your beliefs over the whole
situation. It's about being open and responsible. It's about engaging
in conversations that seek solutions to larger problems. It's about
finding grace in tough times...singing “in the Spirit” even when
there is a lack of material blessings at hand. You know, like the
Who's in Whoville. Find the true Spirit. Share the essence of that
Spirit as it was meant to be shared...warmly and generously. Not with
force or conditions.
Saturn
and Neptune are tight. Some will be martyred for their beliefs under
that aspect. Some will volunteer for the opportunity. Others will
not. Is the extremity of forcing our beliefs upon others THAT
important? Look at what it is causing people to do. No, folks, its
not worth it. But, every time you cling in fear to your belief system
and your foundation is rocked because someone else may believe
something different from you then you send forth the same types of
ripples into the world as some of these more violent entities.
Immediately after the
perfection of the Full Moon, the Moon opposes Saturn in Sagittarius.
It's quite sobering (11:47 PM). The weight of our responsibilities is
great. The path ahead is hard and nothing less than a test of faith.
We cry and tire easily under this load. The Moon finds Neptune by
square only minutes after (11:50 PM).
Overnight, the Moon finds
Mars by trine (1:24 AM) and Mercury by opposition (2:26 AM). If your
phone rings in the middle of the night, answer it. If you feel like
you need to reach out and touch base with someone just to tell them
how much you love and appreciate them, don't hesitate.

Happy
Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans. I kind of chuckled over that as
I typed it. That, too, will likely be a phrase that kicks off some
interesting triggers. Holidays, in general are like that and I
believe I've harped on that enough. There is not a thing wrong with
bringing people together around a table to eat and for good
fellowship regardless of the occasion. I will say that.
This
morning, the Moon in Gemini is still active as Saturn perfects in
square to Neptune at 7:13 AM. This energy overlays much of the day. I
don't know how to describe the feeling of Neptune and Saturn to you
other than to say reality is questionable and boundaries are
permeable. What seems real one minute may dissolve the next. What
once felt like a dream or a nightmare manifests as reality. It's
weird and shape-shifting...perspective changing and at times can be
quite uncertain.
The
Moon is waxing into a brightening sextile with Uranus while squaring
Chiron at the same time (4:16 PM and 4:18 PM respectively). Community
support is important. We need to gather our friends and engage in
our social networks. Your “tribe” is calling out to you and you
are inclined to respond to the steady beat of their drums.
At the
end of the night, the Moon in Gemini is square to Jupiter in
Virgo...meaning everyone should pitch in and help with the clean up
(10:24 PM). A trine to Venus from the Moon accentuates this coming
together vibe only a few minutes later (10:36 PM). From here, the
Moon rests...rather comfortably and for an extended amount of time,
too. She doesn't enter Cancer until 2:27 PM tomorrow. That's right.
She skips the “Black Friday” madness completely. I don't blame
her. I plan on skipping it too.

This
morning, the Moon is Void. She remains void until 2:26 PM. The Mood
is subdued and many are inclined to stay home and rest. Chiron will
station direct at midnight in Pisces. Shortly following that, the
Moon finds Neptune by trine (2:38 AM). Not many will be about and
about today. We would rather stay home next to our warm kitchen fires
and isolate in quiet. If you are able to do that...if you have a warm
home to relax in..I suggest you thoroughly enjoy that blessing today.
Sleep.
Rest. Eat. While realizing what a gift the ability to do that truly
is.
Saturday, November 29,
2015
This
morning, the energy changes from subdued to irritated. The Cancer
Moon squares off with Mars in Libra at 6:34 AM. Then, she spends a
good portion of the day waxing into opposition with Pluto in
Capricorn (2:49 PM). Then, she is upset again by an uncomfortable and
rambunctious square to Uranus in Aries at 7:58 PM.
Things
at times could feel pretty intense. We may be nervous, collectively.
Jumpy. Moody. Scrambling for control. Our core emotions...our roots
and our heritage..are at odds with the compromises we are being
called to make, the changes coming forth from the collective and, in
some instances, blatant outright abuses of power. It's a lot to
contend with under a very sensitive Cancerian Moon. We feel every
energetic blip and that can be quite emotionally taxing.
By 8:05
PM we return home to lick our wounds as the Moon finds Chiron in
Pisces at 8:05 PM. Our dreams wax prophetic under an overnight lunar
sextile to Jupiter at 3:04 AM. Sleep is restorative and welcomed
after the potential heightened sense of emotionality found in the
meat of the day. The Sun is strongly waxing into a conjunction with
Saturn and a square to Neptune that perfects tomorrow. Rest and get
ready for the opportunity to reshape yourself under that sky.
Following
an uncomfortable square from the Moon to Venus in Libra at 7:46 AM
tomorrow morning, the Moon is Void until entering Leo at 7:48 PM on
the same date. I know things are uncertain. I know not many know what
to believe or who they can trust or what the next right answer is.
The “answers” are not out there in the world for you to find. The
“truth” is found within you...where it has always been...all
along.
