This looks like a fairly
lazy day. We wake up to the Moon in Taurus. Her first aspect is an
ambiguous opposition to Mars in Scorpio (1:54 PM) quickly followed by
a sextile to Neptune (2:29 PM). Mars is closing in on his trine with
Neptune which perfects tomorrow. Assertive energy is subdued. Direct
aggression is awash. Ambition is napping. I suggest leaning into
this. However, if you do have tasks you need to complete, you can set
your work to music for inspiration and promise yourself a nice
indulgent reward for the progress you make. Both these techniques are
effective in increasing Mars/Neptune productivity under a Taurus
Moon.
Venus in Sagittarius is also
waxing in square to Jupiter in Virgo. This perfects tonight around
midnight prior to the Moon meeting Pluto by trine at 3:33 AM. Tonight
is certainly earmarked for indulgence and relaxation. Some may even
be prone to over-indulge, which I do not recommend with Jupiter in
Virgo. Instead, we should remain practical and mindful of simplicity.
We can manage to eat a few cookies instead of the whole package,
right? Well, under Mars trine Neptune and Venus square Jupiter we
could easily eat the whole package before we know it and end up with
a belly ache. So, indulge but mindfully and in moderation. Pay
attention to your cravings, as well. What are they trying to tell
you? What is it you really need? Temptation can tell you a lot about
yourself.
The Moon trine Pluto craves
richness and fulfillment along with physical satisfaction. So,
whatever you choose don't just indulge in it. Savor it. Slowly. Bit
by bit. Morsel by morsel. Incorporate the use of all of your senses
to completely absorb the experience. Notice taste, texture,
smell...every little nuance.
Venus square Jupiter is also
good energy to prepare yourself for the week ahead. If you are a
weekly 9-5'er this is a good opportunity to plan meals for the
incoming week. Do laundry and get all your ducks well positioned and
prepared for the week ahead. Gift yourself with preparation.

The Moon lingers in Taurus
this morning as Mars officially finds Neptune by trine at 6:01 AM. By
7:48, our emotions are gentle with a sextile to Chiron. The rest of
the day we have a nice “down to Earth” feeling through two
subsequent Earth trines. The first comes with a trine from the Moon
to Mercury RX in Capricorn at 9:04 AM. This is followed by a Lunar
trine to Jupiter in Virgo at 4:16 PM.
We likely feel pretty
grounded which will help with the Mars/Neptune energy. It's a gentle,
practical day in which anger is subdued while physical energy is
imbibed with grace. We are encouraged to go with the flow while still
remaining centered in our tasks of the day. But, all this happens at
a plodding pace. Don't try to be in too much of a hurry. With grace,
timing, creativity and foresight a lot can be accomplished.
Maintain your sense of
humor. Keep your expectations practical and gently dance your way
through this day. Know that you may feel a little lethargic. Remember
music can be motivating. Stay well hydrated (you'd be surprised how
much of a difference this makes in regard to energy levels under
Mars/Neptune) and remember, there is no crime in nap time.
Overnight, Mercury will
sextile Chiron (1:31 AM) as the Moon finds the Capricorn Sun by trine
(1:51 AM). Following the trine with the Sun, the Moon is briefly Void
until entering Gemini at 4:14 AM. This energetic set up provides nice
support for solid night's sleep. Take advantage of that. Overall, Yin
energy rules the day.

This morning we wake up to
the Moon in Gemini. Today, she will link up the square between Saturn
(13 degrees Sagittarius) and Neptune (8 degrees Pisces) by first
squaring the Lord of the Seas at 6:11 PM and opposing Saturn at 2:55
AM. It's a give and take kind of day. One in which we are likely
distracted or emotional while being called to deal with the reality
of “it” all at the same time.
Most of the morning flows
fairly easily. But, by early evening, many could feel washed out at
best. It is a good day for creativity and bringing art projects to
life. It's also a good day for building dreams and/or leaning into
acceptance and forgiveness. The last few days has been mostly about
what you crave. Now the energy shifts to what you are mentally
obsessing about. Pay attention, there are personal messages in all
this for you.
Remember we are on our way
to a Full Moon at the end of the week. This means that emotionality
is becoming more heightened and sensitive as the week moves forward.
This evening, we are likely quite emotionally sensitive and moods can
steer toward negativity fairly quickly. Be easy with yourself. Find
the reality of the situation while delineating a plan to make things
better if need be. Boundary work is also a good idea. Be mindful of
what and who you surround yourself with. Don't carry burdens that
aren't yours. Again, stay well hydrated to help with energy levels
and mood in general. Balance work and rest, responsibility with
leisure and reality against imaginative possibility.
Typically, Moon in Gemini is
rather social. However, in her current condition she may be more
prone to withdrawal into her own inner world. Tomorrow, things are
set to lighten up a little for our Moon in Gemini. Today, though,
looks to be one of those “wet blanket” kind of days.
Also, be mindful of where
you allow your brain to wander. Mercury, our current Moon's ruler, is
waxing away from Chiron and toward a square with Uranus that perfects
tomorrow after the Sun exits Capricorn and moves into Aquarius. The
Moon is going to check in with all these players tomorrow too swiftly
incorporating all the information that Mercury Rx is stirring up into
our emotional body. Be mindful of triggers and re-think how you
address your personal pain. Know that some stuff will bubble up in an
effort to bring denied or numbed pain/aches back into our awareness
so that it can be deal with effectively...not for punishment
purposes. You can't help the aches if you don't know where they are,
in other words. This is a very personalized affair. What bubbles up
for you will vary from what bubbles up for your neighbor. However,
there is nothing wrong with stepping in to support one another
through whatever may be happening if you are able. Again, though, be
mindful of boundaries. Don't bite off more than you can chew or
volunteer to carry around more than you can handle.
Also, entering this week,
I've heard a lot about water problems. Water line breaks, boil water
advisories and all that. Know that under Mercury/Chiron, stuff like
this has the potential to trickle into this week as well. It doesn't
make you paranoid to pick up some bottled water just in the event
something like this enters your world.

Today, our mood has a chance
to lighten and brighten a little under a Lunar sextile to Uranus at
9:25 AM. We are able to detach from heavier emotions and dry out a
little. Mars energy is returning as he waxes away from his trine with
Neptune. Plus, Solar energy shifts as the Sun moves into Aquarius at
10:27 AM.
In our afternoon, hurt
feelings could, again, take center stage with a Lunar square to
Chiron just as our mouths are unleashed under a square from Mercury
to Uranus at 1:27 PM. Remember what I said about elusive pains being
brought to our awareness so that we can deal with them. Yet, the knee
jerk reaction is just going to be to tell the person that tripped our
trigger or the object we stubbed our toe on to straight up fuck off.
With Uranus, what we are being called to do is rise above and
suppress the knee-jerk reaction in favor of a more intelligent and
mature response. That is quite taxing on a person's patience...let me
tell ya. In dealing with it, breath, believe it or not, becomes very
important. Breathe deliberately through the catalyzing stimulation
and choose your response deliberately. Hold the pain away from you a
bit for perspective and don't just react to it. Take time to
intelligently respond.
Also, with Mercury in square
to Uranus, we are being prompted to try new tactics. The “old ways”
just aren't working anymore. We are called to think independently
instead of jumping on the nearest band wagon. We are prompted to
experiment with new methods and different perspectives. We should
look to free ourselves instead of continue self-hobbling. Again. A
very personalized affair.
Things (personal habits, for
example) that need to change are going to continue becoming harder to
ignore and, eventually, unbearable. This stuff is going to come
acutely into our awareness and we could very well be looking at it in
exasperation saying, “Something's gotta give/change here.” In
that, my coping methods may not work for you and your methods may not
work for me. It's important to assess where you might be tripping
yourself up and be willing to change your tactics. Also, make sure
you are adding to a conversation if you have something to say instead
of just blowing hot air around pretending to be the expert on
everything. Timeliness/punctuality is also a “thing” with
Mercury/Uranus AND Sun in Aquarius. Keep a check on your watch.
By late evening, the Moon is
in square to Jupiter in Virgo. We could feel picky and critical. The
antidote for that is to steer yourself toward practicality, optimism,
humility and generosity while finding blessing in the simple daily
stuff. It's also a good time to adjust daily routines and rituals so
that they are more supportive of your life.
The mind is likely a very
busy, potentially nervous/anxious, place today. Thoughts come at a
rapid fire pace. This bears impact on our emotional body as the Moon
is answering to Mercury right now. Scale back on stimulants and write
down inspiring thoughts and brilliant ideas to come back to later.
Explore options and possibilities instead of getting caught in the “I
can't” trap.
Also, this week bears the
potential for icy conditions. And wind that chaps your more delicate
parts...nose, mouth and what have you. So, take whatever precautions
you need to in an effort to deal with that potential.

Overnight, the Moon made an
uncomfortable opposition to Venus in Sagittarius at 3:02 AM. From
here, she is Void until entering moody Cancer at 8:29 AM. We are
likely to really be able to feel the Full Moon building by today.
This means, emotionality is heightened. We are hungry. We are seeking
comfort. I highly suggest you keep yourself well fed and and make
your personal sense of security a priority. Nesting is just a good
idea.
Taking things slow and easy
is also indicated. The only major aspect the Moon makes today is a
trine to Neptune that waxes in at 10:54 tonight. Solar energy is not
going to understand over emotionality. On a solar level we are more
prone to be a little cool. But, emotional waters are stirring whether
it makes any sense to us or not. So, don't neglect what needs to be
addressed on that level even if it doesn't jive with logic.

The Moon remains active
today as emotionality continues to build under a waxing Moon.
Nighttime skies are probably pristine. Icy crystal clear making the
stars shine even more brilliantly. But, it's also probably pretty
cold in a lot of areas too. Hot chocolate and homemade hearty
soups/stews are stars of the show these days.
Overnight the Moon danced
with Mars in Scorpio by trine. It was a good night to sink into
physical pleasures and entertain intimate needs. Today, though,
thoughts run deep and there is a potential for paranoia under
Mercury's second conjunction with Pluto that waxes in our early
morning hours (5:07 AM). Many are seeking comfort as the mind scours
some serious business.
The Moon sinks into this
Mercury/Pluto configuration with an opposition to both around
lunchtime. Intuitive abilities are kicking ass. If something doesn't
“feel” right exit the situation quickly. But do be mindful of
what fears are bubbling up in your personal sphere. Personal demons
have the potential to rear their heads under this sky. Stare fear
right in the face and defend your home territory like a strong Momma
Bear should. Even with the potential for fear and paranoia, there is
also a strong call to survival and personal protection. Listen to
your instinctual body. Adjust your perspective when/if necessary and
make personal comfort and security a priority. Deliver onto yourself
what you need, in other words.
A Lunar square to Uranus
breaks our give a damn and offers us an opportunity to detach from
the depths a little at 2:33 PM. Again, assess what needs to change
and be proactive in adjusting it. Also know this aspect carries the
potential for re-activeness. So, if you let your fears get the best
of you in the early part of the day you could find yourself popping
loose at the seams by late afternoon. Lean into the detachment and
logical power of our Aquarian Sun while taking appropriate measures
to ensure your personal safety. Don't forget to breathe through
catalyzing circumstance so that you can intelligently respond instead
of just react.
As our night creeps into our
sphere, we are ready to retreat to our caves and lick our proverbial
wounds under a Moon/Chiron trine at 5:08 PM. Proactively addressing
your needs pays off with a lift in our moods due a sextile from the
Moon to Jupiter at 1:22 AM. Dreams are likely filled with symbolism
and we could start feeling a bit better with rest as the night moves
forward. Following the sextile with Jupiter, the Moon is Void until
entering Leo at 2:22 PM tomorrow evening.

The potential “pop” of
the Full Moon looms in this day. However, this morning we have plenty
of time to settle all that a little bit under a VOC Moon that lasts
all morning and a good bit of the afternoon. However, there is a
chance for a bit of selfishness to enter the equation in the later
part of day.
After the Moon enters Leo,
Venus leaves the fires of Sagittarius in favor for a more grounded
type of energy in Capricorn. We are prompted to become responsible
for our desires and take matters of money and love seriously. At the
same time, though, emotionality becomes a personal affair. In that,
we are called to recognize our individual needs that may differ from
that of the collective. We are called to step out of the sea of
people as a singular entity while recognizing our unique needs.
The Full Moon officially
crests at 8:47 PM at 3 Aquarius/Leo 29. We've had a week of
personalized circumstance and introspection. It's time to unleash our
individuality onto the world. In that, we are not naked and afraid.
But, self-accepting and unashamed. Separate yourself from the pack
for a minute and recognize what individual talents you have to
contribute and foster a sense of personal pride in that. At the same
time, look at your friends and neighbors and allow them room (while
giving them acknowledgment) to do the same. Recognize your individual
role in the collective. You are important and unique...just like that
person and that other personal over there. There is room on this
planet for everyone and we all have different but important
contributions to make. What are yours? Offer them up with pride and
leave room for inclusion of the talents of others. We are being
called to refine and acknowledge personal talents that assist in the
various groups we are engaged in. A week of self-discovery leads to a
day of stepping into the spotlight of what we've found.
The Sabian Symbols for this
Lunar event are as follows:
SUN AT 4 AQUA: A Hindu
pundit reveals himself suddenly a great healer. Supremacy of the
unsuspected faculties hidden deep within. Conscious utilization of
divine potency. Revelation of self.
MOON AT 4 LEO: Elderly
man gazes at moose head on club room's wall. Self-development
through the culture of masculine activities. Subservience of
individual to social pattern of behavior.
