This morning, the Moon is
awake in Scorpio after a very long VOC passage through the final
degrees of Libra yesterday. Her first aspect is a trine to Neptune at
3:58 PM which could make most of the day rather unambitious. We are
more prone to relax than to power forward.
This is reinforced by a
sextile from the Moon to Venus at 7:08 PM. Overall, the energy is
easy. But, under a Scorpio Moon emotions run deep. And, with the
waxing square from Mercury to Uranus, our minds are likely still
spinning a little regardless of how relaxed the physical body may be.
At 10:28 PM, our last
quarter Moon perfects between The Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Scorpio
prompting us to recognize where changes need to be made in our lives
and subsequently relinquishing our grip on the status quo. With that,
there may be mourning, fear, and a feeling of being a bit out of
control. All these can be agitating to our deep feeling Moon. But,
the Aquarian Sun just beams it's icy glare and matter of factly says,
“It is what it is.” As our earlier aspects from the Moon to Venus
and Neptune encourage us to forgive, accept and let go.
The square from Mercury in
Capricorn to Uranus in Aries occurs at 10:41 PM at 17 degrees
Cardinal. This can equate to a sharp battles of tongues, nervousness,
a tendency to be clumsy and accident prone. And, occurring between
Cardinal signs, it is no light matter. Both entities believe they
should be in control of the situation. Uranus in Aries is hell bent
on revolt, revolution and change. But, Mercury in Capricorn is
shouting at him to remember that even though change may be a good
idea, we must also be mindful of our responsibilities and aware of
how these changes (especially if made impulsively) affect the overall
business of our lives. Whether this intellectual battle occurs within
you or manifests in external conflict, the best advice I can give is
to rise above any type of conflict that, in the end, isn't going to
be resolved with a cutting come back. Wait out the catalyzing
emotions and deal with them appropriately before you make a decision
That way, your brain is clear, centered and better able to make the
most effective decision instead of being poked and prodded until it
merely reacts. Engage your higher intelligence instead of just
popping off your shotgun mouth. As a peace-keeping Libra, that is my
advice anyway. But, if you are in a situation where you need to
verbally eviscerate someone, then...here you go. I just feel it's
more effective to play smart than impulsive.
Let me give you an example
of reacting impulsively and reacting smartly. Let's say you have a
group of employees whose boss is abusive and has just laid the final
straw on their tolerance camel. That camel's back broke in two. So,
in a lull moment, one employee suggests, “You know, we should just
walk out and leave him high and dry. What would he do then?” But,
another employee responds with, “Why would you want to walk out
now? We are not busy. I'd plan an mass exodus waaay in advance. I'd
schedule about 50 people in the same time slot about a week from
now..after all the dust has settled and this is forgotten. Then, when
those 50 customers came trickling in..that's when I'd stand up and
wave to surveillance cameras and blow a kiss bye bye. I mean, if you
are going to to do it...go big or go home. Right? Plus, that leaves
us all room to research a new job making sure our financial situation
is taken care of before we go lighting fuses and end up causing
collateral damage that affects us directly.” The impulse is to just
make a swift and rebellious decision. The smart decision is to slow
things down a little. Make an effective plan. Ensure your own
protection and then follow through.
Of course the latter
suggestion does carry an air of vindictiveness. The true “rise
above” in that situation would be to decide that you no longer
wanted to put up with your boss' abuse and, therefore, simply start
looking for another job and leave after giving notice like a
responsible adult while dismissing the call for smart assery and
dramatics. That's the truly smart thing to do. But, what is life
without a few flashbangs?
At any rate, I do encourage
you to dismiss calls for vindictive acts of revenge. Instead, deal
with your emotionally swirling body while you come up with a
responsible plan to become more free and independent. There are
sparks of brilliance that do come from Mercury/Uranus and they don't
have to include plans for destruction. There are other options. Let
the seething and tendency to self-punishment go and do what you need
to do. Make intelligent decisions instead of the impulsive ones that
run the risk of usurping you in the end. That's going to call for
emotional control and forbearance which is delivered, without
question, through the higher expression of the Scorpio Moon in
conflict with the Aquarian Sun. I'm not saying that rising above and
opting for an intelligent response is going to be easy. Oh, HELL no.
It's much easier to just blow the thing to smithereens and walk away
in a cloud of smoldering smoke. But, that isn't the path that will
serve you the best in the end. Wait it out until you are thinking
more clearly; but, note the sparks of brilliance as they come. They
could come in handy later.
None of this late evening
energy is very conducive to a restful night's sleep. Start preparing
yourself for that in our early evening by cutting down on stimulant
intake and unplugging from stimulating electronic devices early. This
will help the mental body to wind down a bit and hopefully allow us
to get a little rest even if the mind is still racing a little as we
lay our heads on our pillows.
Monday, February 1, 2016
This morning, the Moon in
Scorpio is conjunct Mars and we are either driven to kick today's
work in the ass or we are still seething over the harsh verbal
exchanges of last night. Usually sleeping on something makes a person
feel better in the light of a new morning. But, in this instance, we
could very well wake up mad. We may have fixated on this argument
letting it roll around in our brains all night robbing us of sleep
and by the time the light of day comes, we are more angry than when
we laid down with it.
Use your potential anger as
motivation to get started on making those changes you need to make in
your personal life. Don't go giving that energy away to someone who
doesn't deserve the hit to your karma. Put your head down and do what
you need to do, instead.
That “put your head down”
and plow through energy is backed by a Lunar sextile to Pluto at 7:21
AM. We are likely hungry and need solid fuel to meet the energy
demands of this day. So, don't skip breakfast. Do skip more sugary
breakfast foods that will leave you feeling flat by noon in favor of
protein that will support you evenly through the morning.
By 10:02 AM, the Moon is
sextile Mercury allowing an internal collaboration to occur that
colors our decision making with emotionality. This energy can be used
to develop a plan to get what you need by making long-term decisions
that support the changes we are dreaming of.
At midday, the Moon trines
Chiron softening and calming us to a degree. The real reason why this
situation has upset us so much bubbles up into our sphere. These
emotions are likely held close to our chests as they involve personal
details that we may not be willing to share. The knowledge is for us,
not anyone else. Know that it can cause a bit of eye leakage and if
you did act impulsively and blow things up in the most recent past,
this is where remorse is going to find you.
By 7:36 PM, the Moon is
sextile to Jupiter Rx in Virgo putting a spotlight on and expanding
wherever we are emotionally. We could feel really good about holding
ourselves at bay. Or, we could end up picking ourselves apart for
allowing ourselves to be catalyzed into doing something we now
regret. It depends. Wherever you are emotionally, grows under this
sextile. This aspect also calls for us to be mindful of details and
to lean into simplicity and practicality. It's easier to walk away
than to violently take out all your enemies; because, then there's
all the work of figuring out where you are going to hide the bodies
and then digging the holes and...well, things just are more
complicated down that road. So, keep it simple. If you need to
apologize, don't hesitate...even if you owe that apology to yourself.
Following the sextile with
Jupiter, the Moon is Void until entering Sagittarius tomorrow at
10:50 AM.

This morning, the Moon
wakes up in Sagittarius at 10:50 AM. This does help lighten our mood
a little. There are no major Lunar aspects in the meat of this day.
However, the Moon does perfect in square to Neptune overnight at 3:25
AM. So, we may feel better in the early part of the day but as night
creeps in it could bring tears. Or, it could simply bring a good
night's sleep. Or both.
The Moon does make minor
aspects to Pluto, Uranus and Mercury throughout the day. So, we
haven't completely forgotten what has happened over the last few
days. But, we aren't inclined to do much about it other than ponder.
Overall, I'd say the day
goes rather smoothly with a lot of stuff going on for most folks
under the surface...brewing. Take advantage of emotional break; we
have a slew of busy and emotionally colored energy coming to our
sphere tomorrow.

This morning we wake up
under a waning Sagittarian Moon as Mars in Scorpio meets Pluto in
Capricorn by sextile at 5:45 AM. There is tremendous power and
endurance in this aspect that will help us move mountains if we need
to. You can accomplish a lot in our early morning hours.
Our Solar body is calling
for a hard days work as it hangs in sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius
for most of the day, officially perfecting at 1:18 PM. Meanwhile,
Mercury in Capricorn met Chiron in Pisces by sextile at 7:36 AM
giving us an opportunity to come up with a plan to more effectively
deal with our triggers, addictions, denied or numbed out pains.
Remember, idle hands are the devil's workshop. Keep yourself busy.
By 2:31 PM the Moon is
conjunct Saturn and sextile the Sun. We are sober and willing to
create our own rules whether or not they adhere to the rules that are
already established. We are ready for a change so that we can ditch
some of the cumbersome loads we are carrying around on our shoulders.
We are less likely to stay in oppressive and dominating situations
and more inclined to strike out own our own toward more independence
and freedom. So, if you are in one of those types of situations, this
is the day in which you may decide to check out of it. Sagittarius
does not like to be caged. Aquarius does not like to be told what to
do especially when those directions are framed with, “this is what
is expected of you and it's the way we've always done it.” No.
Aquarius is ready to experiment with new methods that bust apart the
debunk traditional ways of doing stuff. This is rebellious energy.
But, it is responsible rebellious energy that has purpose. We aren't
just bucking the rules because we feel like it. We are bucking
because the rules that have outlived their effectiveness and it's
time to change. It's that simple.
That call to experiment with
new methods and to create a more independent structure that allows
for more personal freedom is enhanced by a trine from the Moon to
Uranus at 7:59 PM. Emotional intelligence increases and we try to be
a bit more logical in our decision making without letting a momentary
emotional situation cause to do something we may regret. Eyebrows are
raised in observation and study in a rather Vulcan-like manner. We
realize the decisions we make from here need to be well thought out
and socially conscious. Networking or seeking the advice of an expert
in some situations could provide us with additional information we
need. We are definitely encouraged to pull out of the situation for a
longer range view and to bear in mind the impact of our decisions on
our future while assessing the potential for collateral damage.
Later tonight, the Moon
squares off with Chiron, reminding us of where the “hurt”
is...where the personal sickness lies. Address those needs
appropriately.
Thursday, February 4, 2016
This morning the Moon is
preparing to reach void status immediately after checking in with her
current ruler, Jupiter in Virgo, by square at 5:04 AM. This aspect
wants us to ask ourselves, “are our future plans simple enough to
follow through with? Have we assessed all the details? Are we doing
something that will serve us in the end or are we just making a
needless mess.” We are reminded to keep things simple and practical
without blowing everything all out of proportion.
Right now, we should be
focused more on deconstructing instead of rebuilding just yet.
From here, the Moon is Void
until entering Capricorn at 7:45 PM. There isn't much that goes down
today aside from a bit of contemplation and a blessed break from high
emotionality/sensitivity. However, I've named the aspects for
tomorrow and Saturday as a “Royal Flush.” Now, in terms of poker,
this is a really good hand to be dealt. But, that's not necessarily
what I'm talking about.
Let me see if I can explain.
The aspects over the next few days are numerous and powerful. The
Moon, our emotional body, is directly involved in all of it. But,
under a very, very dark Moon what we are being called to do is take
charge in regard to what needs to be flushed out of our emotional
body while flushing out anything that may be poisoning us or
hindering us at the same time. For example, self-doubt...flush. Fear
of what others may think...flush. Forsaking yourself and your needs,
sacrificing yourself in situations that drain you instead of support
you...flush. Bad habits such as poor eating, time wasting, beating
yourself up for things you cannot change...flush. Negative/toxic
attachment...flush. Let go. Detox. Call things to an end that need to
be ended. And all this is done with the background knowledge of what
is best for business...the business of your own life, that is. Spend
today pontificating what needs to be flushed from your life. And,
make plans to flush it away in the next few days. Take out the
trash...which is an ironic statement to make since Thursdays are
actually trash days in my neck of the woods. But, yeah, it's a lot
like that.

This morning we may feel a
little draggy, subdued or emotional due a sextile from the Moon in
Capricorn to Neptune which perfects around lunchtime (11:25 AM). I
personally like the mixture of Earth and Water via sextile. It is
just grounded and creative enough to manifest something tangible. It
also helps us deal with emotional waters without drowning. Wood
floats and we are imbibed with a life preserver of sorts that will
carry us safely down river.
Later tonight (and growing
in intensity throughout the day) desire becomes a focal point as
Venus finds Pluto by conjunction at 8:12 PM. Now, coming from the
sign of Capricorn, this could very well be an obsessive desire for
material possessions or even control over employees and loved ones.
And, with the Moon entering this conjunction at 1:01 AM, it becomes
an emotional affair. The best way to handle this aspect is to make
wise and well calculated investments in your future. For example, if
you run a business, this could be a good time to invest in an
expensive piece of office equipment that will help your practice.
It's is not a good time to go into debt over frivolous purchases. You
are going to want to invest in something that will return dividends
and feed your into your acquired wealth. Not rob you of necessary
resource.
That holds true for matters
of the heart too. Don't invest your heart in a toxic waste dump.
Invest in what holds potential to support you back and that which has
a chance to grow into intimacy. Know temptation will be high as this
is a rather lusty and growling with craving aspect. Bear in mind your
“bottom line” and the assess the impact upon your future.
From here, the Moon waxes
into a square with Uranus at 2:52 AM. This is followed by a sextile
to Mars at 3:22 AM...so sleep could be elusive, again, tonight. The
mind is racing. The emotional body is a little nervous and anxious.
And the physical body wants to freaking MOVE and do something about
it right now! Chances are this will all subside at daybreak. So, hold
steady and find something to occupy your brain and ease your anxiety
instead of getting caught in a midnight doomsday thought loop. Again,
let go more than you try to desperately hang on.
Saturday, February 6, 2016
The “royal flush” energy
continues into our Saturday. But, now, we are prone to look toward
practical solutions to whatever situation we are in instead of just
stewing and torturing ourselves. The Moon finds Mercury in Capricorn
at 10:40 AM. Then, she moves on to find grounded and practical “keep
it simple” Jupiter in Virgo at 10:54 AM by trine. Mercury follows
and enters this trine himself at 1:46 PM. We are called to make long
term and supportive plans while being mindful of the details of such.
Meanwhile, the Sun finds
Uranus by sextile at 11:39 PM and we are more prone to welcome and
embark upon positive change rather than keep doing things the same
old way that only serves to screw us up in the end. We are temporary
pioneers, inventors, experimentalists and our methods are rather
scientific and logical. We are ice. Cool. Even handed. Confident.
Willing to strike out on our own and if we have a tribe that's
willing to jump on our wagon, then great. If not, it doesn't matter
because the wagon is moving anyway. It's time for change. It's time
for hope to re-enter our sphere. It's time to finally cut the rope on
the anchors we don't need so we can sail toward calmer waters.
That rope cutting comes
rather matter-of-factly and without delay as Venus squares off with
Uranus at 5:03 PM. Oppressive and abusive relationships are under
threat of being completely severed under this sky. Controlling
manipulative tactics are obvious and we are fed up with them.
Patience flies out the window and our sword swings cutting negative
attachment cords with purpose. Venus says, “fuck this shit.” In
other words. And, hopefully, by the end of the day...after two days
of royal flushing...we will be ready to declare a plan anew under
Monday's New Moon in Aquarius.
The trine from Mercury to
Jupiter, the sextile from the Sun to Uranus and the square from Venus
to Uranus all occur under a Void Moon. So, it's all rather
dispassionate. We can set our emotions aside for a moment and explore
logical solutions to our current situations. It is what it is and
this is what I'm going to do to change it or adapt to it or totally
dismiss myself from it. Those are the types of things we are
thinking. The Moon is Void until entering Aquarius at 1:00 AM. Once
that shift occurs, it's time to take action and bring those
pontificated plans into reality.
The heart, mind and ego run
the risk of being battered this week. Truly, there is a lot going on
in the sky. Note what needs to be changed. Decide what you are going
to do about it and rise above any call to just go along to get along
and instead, don't be afraid to set yourself apart from the crowd.
There will be other outliers on the fringe trying to do similar.
Buddy up with them if you need to and collaborate for ideas. But,
realize, in the end, you are going to be the only one who can make
the most effective decisions in regard to the business of your life.
Our New Moon is going to
give us chance to launch these plans. Bear in mind we are aiming for a very fresh, very clean slate. However, immediately after it's
perfection on the 8th the Moon is Void. So, I would
encourage you to set your intentions early this month (After 1 AM on
Sunday the 7th and prior to 9:40 AM on Monday.)
The Sabian for Monday's New
Moon hints at incoming information that may help you make a more
effective future decision. It reads as follows: SUN AND MOON AT 20
AQUARIUS: White dove circles overhead; descends, bearing a
message. The blessing every effort by the “Holy Ghost” of
revealed significance. Exaltation of all individual efforts.
Celebrity.
When you trip over a
realization of “Oooh, I never really thought of it like that
before”...then know that is this New Moon talking to you and
presenting you with a point of view you need before moving forward
any further.
