Today, we have a slew of
aspects that our Taurus Moon will traverse. Most of it looks more
sweet than sour. We begin the day basking in yesterday's waning trine
from Mars to Jupiter. The first Lunar aspect occurs as the Taurus
Moon finds Pluto by trine at 10:28 AM. Brunch is highly indicated.
Something rich. Indulgent. Personally, I'll be making deep fried
Oreo's today. Because, I'm an adult and I can do that if I want. But,
in a way, that is what this aspect reminds me of. Something
sumptuous, a rich indulgence, a guilty pleasure...resist not this
call to sink into something wondrous.
What this lovely trine does,
is create a flickering Kite in the earlier part of the day that
trickles over into our evening hours. It involves a Grand Earth Trine
stemming from Taurus Moon, Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter Rx in Virgo
(6:14 PM). The opposition that creates the cap of the Kite comes from
Jupiter Rx opposite Chiron. The Moon is officially sextile Chiron at
3:36 PM.
Plus, there is a second
flickering Kite created as Mars in Scorpio sextiles Jupiter and Pluto
as the Moon opposes (7:15 PM). We are well supported under this sky.
Desires are strong. We crave. And you know the best way to deal with
that? Find a beneficial way to satisfy your cravings. Ok. So deep
fried Oreo's are probably not what most would call “beneficial.”
But, here's the thing. I don't care. LOL!
Today is a day for
adoration. Showing it. Accepting it. Fostering a sense of adoration
for yourself even. If you are partnered, it's a wonderful day for
slow savory sex. If you are not partnered, it's still a good day for
slow savory sex. But, if you aren't inclined to such you can still
romance yourself. Treat yourself to a spa day. Do whatever it is you
do that makes you feel like you are wrapped in luxury. A long soaking
bath. A nice indulgent massage. There's a meme going around the
internet that says something like, “Learn to love yourself
fiercely! That way people will know how it's to be done.” Or
something like that.
The Kites of today do
provide support and and a certain amount of protection. But,
Valentine's Day or not, what it calls for is pleasure and delight in
the physical. A true day of VenusTreat yourself to some of that.
Think about what it is you would miss if you no longer had your body.
Does that make sense? There are certain pleasures that only “being
physical” can manifest. Lean into those. Unashamedly and without
abandon.
After the Kites of the day
fade away, the Moon does meet with a little duress. Our First Quarter
Moon waxes in at 2:48 AM pitting our touching, feeling, indulgent cow
Moon against the robotic Ice Queen energy of the Sun in Aquarius.
This occurs at 26 degrees of our fixed signs and does hold Mars in
Scorpio close enough in orb to create a fixed t-square. The outlet of
this t-square falls in Leo. The “solution” to the tension isn't
force, isn't cerebral, isn't tangible. It's creative. It requires our
personal signature and asks us to imbibe a bit of the playfulness of
our inner child. That is how the tension is broken by allowing
yourself to return to innocence, bravely with wise and protective
eyes.

This morning, the tension of
last night's First Quarter Moon is eased by a trine from the Moon to
her current ruler, Venus in Capricorn, at 5:55 AM. From here, the
Moon is Void until entering Gemini at 9:36 AM. It would appear that
the early morning moves rather slowly.
In our early afternoon,
though, the winds pick up as the atmosphere breathes with life
through a trine with the Moon in Gemini to Mercury (NOW OUT OF
SHADOW!!) in Aquarius at 1:38 PM. It's a great time for exchanging
ideas. Chatting things up. Finding space to talk about your emotions
without so much water involved. Increasing your emotional
intelligence...or just calling up a friend. It's also a great time to
ask someone for advice in their area of expertise. Minds and mouths
are busy...and, for real, wind chill could be a thing in the weather.
When there's a bunch of energy in Aquarius, the weather is typically
quite prone to be icy. With both the Sun and Mercury both already
there and Venus soon to jump on board...that potential is increasing.
So. Yeah. There's that.
The only other aspect within
this 24 hour period waxes in at 1:16 AM. The airy Gemini Moon meets
the King of the Seas by square. Air escapes and mush returns. It can
be a dream filled night. One in which we sleep very deeply. And,
potentially, one that can also come with tears and sensitivity. If
you are awake at this hour, the energy is rich for creativity and
imaginings.

This morning we wake up the
Moon in Gemini leaving her square with Neptune and waxing into an
opposition with Saturn (12:11 PM). Oh bother. Responsibilities weigh
heavily on our typically sparkly Gemini Moon. Saturn says, “pick a
path.” The Moon says, “but, I want to flit down them all!” Ok,
but, you still have to start with one. It's grouchy. Our “student”
Moon is being riddled by a staunch and serious teacher...quizzed.
Kept from playing and socializing. Forced to focus and sit still
while digging more deeply into the subject matter at hand instead of
just lightly breezing through the main topics.
HOWEVER, the “end of
school” bell rings at 4:32 PM with a lunar sextile to Uranus in
Aries. We are inclined to bust out of the restrictive school of
Saturn singing, “School's out, school's out, teacher let the
monkeys out!” Freedom! Gosh, it is certainly time to shake the
stoic dust off and we don't need anymore bricks in the wall! We don't
need no education! We are primed to shake things up a little bit.
The only caution? Shake it
but don't break it! The Moon does square off with Chiron in Pisces at
7:57 PM and subsequently Jupiter in Virgo at 10:03 PM. Shake it till
it feels free not until it falls off and you end up at the ER having
it sewn back on. We can, however, call a halt to memorizing
historical dates and being crushed under rules and, instead, opt for
a little wildness.
The mutable t-square formed
with the Moon, Chiron and Jupiter holds outlet in Sagittarius.
Explore new territory. Embark on a new journey. Free yourself from
self-hindering and dare to reach out into uncharted territory. With
Jupiter in Virgo, though, you are going to want to keep it simple and
avoid over-complication.
At 11:17 PM, Venus slides
into Aquarius increasing the “icy” potential of our days to come.

Several minor planetary
aspects color our morning hours. But, the only major aspect of the
day occurs as the Moon in Gemini finds the Aquarian Sun by trine at
11:38 AM before reaching Void status. Windchill and icy conditions
are possible in both the atmosphere and our emotional bodies. But, it
is pristine. Clear. Clean. Transparent. You know...like ice and wind
have a tendency to be. Activities that involve logic and clear
communication are the forefront of this trine. The Sun will soon
leave the icy wonderland of Aquarius and dive into the ethereal
waters of Pisces. Grab a few quick breaths before we are forced into
those depths. This is most definitely a transitional time.
Speaking of water, at 2:25
PM the Moon wakes back up in Cancer. It's time to retreat from our
mental escapades and sink into some creature comforts. What goes well
with cold and icy conditions? Soup. Nice hearty homemade soups,
stews, simmering crock pots, thick warm plush blankets and an
enveloping couch. Yeah. Get ya some of that.

Alright. Today is
potentially moody and challenging. We start the day off with a watery
trine from the Moon in Cancer to Neptune at 6:50 AM. This is
wonderfully flowy and creative. But, it is also HIGHLY sensitive.
It's also highly intuitive so pay heed to any caution flags your
little inner voice may throw up at you. Be mindful of what and who
you surround yourself with because their mood could be contagious.
Keep your boundaries up and go with the flow. FLOW, I said...not
force. Water trines call for gentleness most typically.
As the sky grows dark so
does the Universal energy as the Moon opposes Pluto at 8:35 PM and
then subsequently squares Uranus at 10:43 PM. This is a quite
powerful Cardinal T-square that finds it's outlet in Libra. With
Libra's current ruler in Aquarius, we may need a bit of detachment
from all this pressure. Surround yourself with friends and community.
Share when/where you can. Don't forget that compromise and
negotiation are always options. That sort of thing can be done in an
intelligent and socially conscious manner with this type of Venus.
Lean into the support of your tribe if you find yourself in emotional
flux. This is definitely emotionally stormy weather. Offer support
where and when you can.
At midnight (00:34 AM to be
precise), we call an end to Aquarius season and enter the Kingdom of
the Fishes. The Sun enters dreamy Pisces overnight. Shortly after,
the Moon trines Chiron in Pisces and subsequently sextiles Jupiter in
Virgo. Caregiver, heal thyself. Retreat to thy deep dark cave for
rejuvenation and pay heed to whatever it is you may need. Rest.
Restore. Drift off into your imaginings and dreams. Those dreams
could hold some pretty astute messages for you.

There is plenty of water in
our atmosphere today. The Sun is newly in Pisces and we wake up to
the Moon in Cancer in a watery trine with Mars in Scorpio (insert
dramatic pause with raised eyebrow here) who has just entered his
retrograde shadow. That's right folks. The Mars retrograde that
begins at 8 Sagittarius 54 (On April 18th) circles ALL the
way back to 23 Scorpio which is where we find him today as the Moon
checks in. “Oh, but that is TWO MONTHS AWAY,” you say? Um..no,
not really. With Mars in shadow it kinda starts like RIGHT NOW. Aside
from heralding the beginning of Mars' unraveling, this water trine
does power forward like a motor boat. Thing is you are going to want
to, again, assess the “why” behind what it is you are trying to
accomplish. And, you are going to want that to be a 100% self-honest
assessment. You don't have to admit your motivations to anyone but
yourself because you are the one that is going to have to live with
it in the end. You know?
Also, remember the answer
doesn't always come from taking extreme measures. Scorpio sees the a
tendency to be able to see extreme of everything. Faaaaaaaaaar left.
Faaaaaaaaar right. It looses sight of the middle ground. Mars in
Scorpio has a tendency to act in extremes. I'll re-iterate, it does
not have to be kill or be killed. There are other options that you
may want to consider. The answer is not always all or nothing.
However, whatever we embark
upon today comes with strong emotional motivation. So. If your
emotions have run amok expect your actions to follow in tow. I'd
suspect you'd be far better off climbing out of the mud and keeping
everything afloat and above board. But, yeah, desires could run deep
and so could emotions. Channel that into something beautiful.
Something creative. Something life enriching instead of burying
yourself up. The tides have certainly risen at this point. Wear your
floaties or your scuba gear! Plus, beware the drag of the water. We
are to move slow and imbibe what we embark upon with FEELING! Listen
to the whispers of your intuitive body and the voices in your head.
Also remember the Moon is
growing and swelling with energy as we approach the Full Moon in
Virgo. In high emotional times, lean into practicality, triage and
grounding.
The good thing? Following
the trine with Mars we do get a bit of a break. The Moon is Void in
Cancer until entering fiery Leo tonight at 9:18 PM.

Well. Today looks a lot like
a tug of war. If you let it swing that way. We start off with an
uncomfortable early morning opposition between the Moon in Leo and
Venus in Aquarius. There is a chance that our personal needs are not
being met or no one cares or what we want is sooo far out of reach.
Then, our emotions face off with collective mentality at 2:28 PM.
Look. This can be balanced
out. Give them a little of what they want but don't shirk what you
need in the process. Realize we don't all have to agree. You can have
your opinions. They can have theirs. We can all still live on the
same planet that way as long as we foster a sense of tolerance for
individuality. You are unique just like everyone else. Give folks
just as much room to be themselves as you expect in return. It's
called co-existing and it CAN be done. Promise. Someone who doesn't
believe in the same way you do doesn't make your belief system (or
theirs) weak. Embrace the differences that make our world a more
colorful and interesting place instead of feeling as if you are under
threat because everyone is not exactly like you.
Still yet, the air today is
ripe for friction. Disagreements. Opposing points of view. Purposely
choose to let all that dissolve. We do have Sun in Pisces. after all.
Forgive. Accept. Let it go, already.
Things do become a bit more
steady as the Moon waxes into a stabilizing trine with Saturn
overnight (2:32 AM). Emotional support and grounding is forth coming.
Keep that potential in your sights while realizing sometimes the best
tactical move in a tug of war is to let go of the rope.
