Today begins dreamy and a
bit water-colored as the Moon in Scorpio pulls away from a trine with
Neptune as the Sun officially finds the same by conjunction at 10:47
AM. Meanwhile, the Moon moves on to square Venus at 11:17 AM. This is
uncomfortable and pits forward moving change against a feeling of
endurance and clinging. Clinging may not be the best word. But, at
it's lowest vibration Scorpio Moon will torture itself with an
emotion (such as resentment or anger) in a rather masochistic way.
Venus in Aquarius wants to let loose of that burden. But, with the
Sun in the extra-martyr making swamp of Pisces, some may be resistant
to letting things go and moving on. However, at their highest
vibration both the Moon in Scorpio and Sun conjunct Neptune CAN let
go, forgive, absolve and forget. It's the harder path of course. But,
it still remains a viable option. Cut the albatross loose.
By early evening, the Moon
is sextile her current ruler, Pluto in Capricorn (4:40 PM) and waxing
into sextile with Jupiter Rx in Virgo (9:42 PM). The sextile with
Jupiter overlays an inconjunct to Uranus in Aries which creates a Yod
holding Uranus at the apex. Meanwhile, the sextile with Pluto and
trine with Chiron (11:41 PM) creates a wonderfully supportive
mini-trine. All this, again, echoes the need for release and looking
forward more than looking remorsefully backward. It's time to let
loose of emotional blooms that are well past their expiration date.
The Jupiter/Uranus Yod overlays the now waning Mercury/Uranus/Jupiter
Yod that has created quite a bit of restlessness at the end of our
previous week. So, expect some of that restlessness to come back. It
is time to let Winter die and Spring emerge. It is time to
incorporate wisdom from past experience; but, stop reliving it. Pack
up and move on. Be inspired by the promise of brighter days.
Overnight, the Moon squares
Mercury in Aquarius as he finds Mars in Scorpio by conjunction
between 2 and 3 AM. Minds could be racing and anxieties may creep in.
It may be hard to settle our brains enough to sleep. Cutting down on
chemical stimulants (caffeine/sugar) earlier in the day may help.
Also, taking time to discuss your emotions logically or write them
out in a diary before attempting to retire could help settle the
emotional waters enough so you can get some rest. Or, it could start
an argument that lasts into the night. Course, that may need to
happen. You will have to make your own judgment call on that one.
Personally, I don't care if an argument does need to happen to clear
the air, I don't want to do it at 2 in the morning. I'm a Pisces
Moon, though, and hold sleep at priority. There are other moons that
could feel differently in that regard.
Following the conjunction
with Mars, the Moon is Void until entering Sagittarius at 6:57 AM
tomorrow.

There's one extra day in
February this year and welcome to it! Happy Leap Year! Now. What will
we do with it?
This morning we wake up
under a Sagittarius Moon who remains unaspected all day. Venus in
Aquarius, however, does sextile Saturn in Sagittarius at 8:08 PM.
Venus is wonderfully stable under this aspect. But, she is still
looking forward instead of backward. Saturn has the path to the
future well paved and she is anxious to get started on it. The free
floating Sagittarius Moon encourages her optimism in that regard.
Today has a wise yet bohemian feel to it. It's MUCH less watery than
what we experienced under the Scorpio Moon and Sun conjunct Neptune.
Even though the Sun remains in Pisces and still quite close to the
King of the Seas, the water recedes a bit. Hope has a chance to
breathe energy and renewal in our direction. Don't be afraid to
venture out. Stretch your legs a bit and, perhaps, even try something
new. The energy is much lighter, for now. Take advantage of that.

I hope you enjoyed
yesterday's break from the waters. Because, the tides threaten to
rise again under today's Moon. The morning begins innocuous enough.
But, by early afternoon, the Moon is square Neptune (1:49 PM) and
subsequently finds the Pisces Sun by square later in the day to
create our Last Quarter Moon (6:12 PM). Any left over emotional gunk
rises to the surface not for us to relent over. But, for us to
scoop/strain out and get rid of. Release. Let go. Lean into the power
of the darkening Moon. There is a mixture of Fire and Water here.
Both of which is a threat to the other. Water drowns out Fire.
Whereas heat under a kettle of water causes it to boil and evaporate.
Due this unnatural mix of elements, I suggest you call upon the power
of Temperance to keep the concoction in proper balance.
For example, lets imagine we
were making Moonshine. If you've never seen a still, I can tell you
it is a simple but powerful and potentially volatile contraption. You
have to have your pressure juuust right or you'll end up with copper
fitting and pipes exploding all over the place. If you keep all that
in check, you end up with a wonderful elixir. But, while you are
cooking it, you have to be very mindful of all your gauges. So, let
the fire burn and the water bubble while leaving a small hole for the
extra pressure to escape. Move around more than you try to sit still
with this energy. If you are feeling swamped, get out and get some
fresh air. Carefully pour your emotions into whatever you are doing.
Give them outlet instead of leaving them pent up. And, definitely let
go more than you try to hold on...unless you want to be that
exploding copper pot or risk your Moonshine turning sour.
Overnight, the Moon finds
Saturn by conjunction (2:16 AM). This can bring emotional stability
or increase depression and fear. However, if you've spent the day
effectively letting off steam instead of laying in an emotional
swamp, it can come as a stable and effective resting spot. The cup to
pour your finished shine into, if you will. Settled and stable
emotional control.

The fickleness of March most
definitely affects our emotional body. Today, however, the pendulum
that pointed to yesterday's potential washout now swings to point at
energy that is much more free and unencumbered. The Sagittarius Moon
breaks free from the swamps of Neptune and the harshness of Saturn
and cut loose to feel more like her Bohemian self. She starts the day
under a hopeful and sparkling sextile to Venus in Aquarius (5:30 AM).
That is followed by a huge “breaking out” notion delivered by a
trine to Uranus (6:55 AM). The birds are singing. The Sun is shining.
It's time to wakey wakey!
By early morning, though, we
are reminded to keep things simple and be wary of our triggers as the
Moon creates a mutable cross with Jupiter in Virgo (8:16 AM) and
Chiron in Pisces (11:02 AM). We are ready to be done with the ways we
keep tripping ourselves up. But this aspect comes in as a reminder so
we don't unknowingly repeat past mistakes. The outlet for this
mutable cross falls in Gemini. Learn new ways to do things. Let your
curiosity take over and experiment a little. Talk it over with
trusted friends.
Later this evening, Venus
enters the Yod that Mercury passed through last week. She sextiles
Uranus (8:13 PM) while inconjunct to Jupiter in Virgo (7:04 AM).
Buzzy and restless moves from our brains and into our hearts. Values
shift as do priorities. Hearts are restless and eager. Any
restriction feels like carrying around concrete blocks. We are less
prone to want to haul those. Therefore, restrictive relationship ties
(or even monetary ones) will likely be cut loose. Our hearts want to
wander free and are really, really tired of being squashed.
The Moon finds Mercury in
the last degrees of Aquarius by sextile at 9:56 PM and our “fuck
this shit” mentality and evolving values kick into high gear. Minds
crank over and start looking for new and inventive ways to deal with
the future because the old ways are waaaay past their expiration
date. And, that pot is left to simmer as the Moon reaches Void status
for the remainder of the night. She enters Capricorn at 5:02 AM
tomorrow.
Thursday, March 3, 2016
We move from yesterday's
restlessness into a softened emotional realm today. The Moon in
Capricorn finds Neptune by sextile at 10:58 PM. The Yod with
Venus/Jupiter and Uranus is ongoing. So, hearts are still bubbling.
But, the emotional body is preset with a feeling of responsibility
and compassion. It's time to dream up more flexible and encompassing
plans. However, the feel is less work focused than one would imagine
under a typical Capricorn Moon. It's dreamy. Floaty. Easily
distracted. Plus, it can't just bear in mind the “bottom line”
because it has been imbibed with compassion. In other words, the
strong push that sent our “give-a-damn” to be shattered is still
in force...but, we still give a damn about some things. We still have
a conscience and are not inclined to step on others to get to where
we need to go. As a matter of fact, we are fairly inclined to stop on
our journey and assist a fellow traveler to their feet instead of
using them as a stepping stone. I don't see that as a bad thing. Come
together and help one another. Realize you are not in this alone.
Reach out for support and deliver it when you can. We are all “in
this” together. So make sure you are doing your part.

This morning the Moon in
Capricorn finds the Sun in Pisces by sextile at 7:34 AM prior to
finding Pluto by conjunction at 12:18 PM. You know what that means,
right? It means the our little Fishy Sun is also waxing into sextile
with Pluto. They are separated by a mere 2 degrees right now. And,
the energy is waxing. The Moon will bring this to surface imbibing us
with compassion, responsibility, integrity and endurance.
Now. Listen to me, ok? This
week the emotive energy very much reflects the fickle March weather.
We go from one extreme to the next on a nearly hourly basis. This is
NOT ONLY due the condition of the Moon. But, also due next week's
incoming eclipse. The overall feel of the week is uncertain, shaky,
floaty and comes packed with the unexpected as ecliptic events
continue to unravel. We will feel swamped. At the same time, we are
called to be on our toes. We will be called to action when we would
rather be taking a nap. There is a chance that nothing will go as
planned and things will pop up seemingly out of nowhere requiring our
immediate attention without warning. This is part of what will MAKE
priorities shift under the Venus Yod. It brings things that matter to
our acute awareness that in the past we may have taken for granted or
overlooked. With the eclipse less than a week away, expect the
unexpected. Remain flexible and yet grounded. Be overly meticulous
with self-care. Jupiter in Virgo is the spotlight on our future.
Whereas Chiron threatens to suck us back into the past. Jupiter's
lesson is one of humility and service. Don't forget that. Especially
if you start feeling grandiose and get too lost in your own problems.
Your feet are sunk in the mud of the collective just like everyone
else's. So why not offer to pitch in and help instead of just sitting
as an armchair quarterback. Want change? Oh, honey. It's coming. Your
best focus is on getting your priorities in line and getting prepared
to deal with it. Because, you matter. What you do matters. Probably
in ways you can't exactly pinpoint right now. But, I assure you...it
matters. I remind you of this right now because as the day moves
forward, things are at serious risk of being shaken up.
The Moon squares Uranus at
2:59 PM and trines Jupiter at 3:31 PM. Easy now. Don't blow yourself
up. Remain calm and cool. Triage. Lean into the practicality of Earth
and keep “the long term” in your sites. Don't over-react.
Mindfully respond. And, if it is NOT an emergency, don't treat it
like one. Yet, if it is an emergency, know that you can remain
grounded enough to deal with it. Yes, you can.
Also know that
“re-activeness” will be a largely apparent issue given that
Mercury is also waxing into square with Mars. Mars in Scorpio versus
Mercury in Aquarius is explosive. Think about it. We are again
pitting Uranus and Pluto energy against one another AS THE MOON MOVES
THROUGH THE ACTUAL SQUARE BETWEEN THESE TWO. So, yeah...something
could blow up unexpectedly. For real. At that point, it's not going
to matter what you are planning to make for dinner; because, you are
going to be too busy putting out fires and rescuing babies. It's
shaky and uncertainty overlaying MORE shaky and uncertainty. It's
nerve wracking at the very least. Catalyzing and wildly accident
prone. Be prepared to stand steady and absorb the shocks so you can
effectively respond instead of reacting as if you've just been poked
with a cattle prod. However, know that this is ridiculously hard to
do. And know that some folks will respond to this energy like Chicken
Little. There will be times when you feel like one of them. Breathe.
Move around..carefully and mindfully. Don't expect things to go as
planned. Remain flexible and deal with what needs to be dealt with as
it emerges while never losing sight of the impact of your actions
upon your future. I'd be lying if I told you this was easy. It won't
be. It will be scary, at times. Dramatic at other times.
Heart-wrenching through out. Some things will happen because they
needed to happen. Other things will just happen. Either way, we will
have to deal with it and try to figure out the meaning of it after
the fact. In the moment of it, not one bit of it is going to make
sense. That's how eclipses work. They pack a serious punch of WTF
without giving us much chance to figure it out before we are called
to act upon it.
The Moon remains active
through the Mercury/Mars square which perfects just after midnight.
Her next aspect is a sextile to Mars at 11:07 AM tomorrow. By that
time, Mercury will have moved into Pisces (5:24 AM). Our frazzled and
over-stimulated brains melt into a sea of swirling uncertainty. What
was once so clear becomes hazy and confused. Directional compasses go
haywire. Other electronic devices have a tendency to do the same. We
aren't sure of which way is up or sideways as the ecliptic confusion
continues. Vertigo is a very strong possibility. There is a chance
that nothing makes sense at this point. I suggest you go with it
instead of fight it. Because there isn't a darn thing you can do to
change it. That locus of control has been ripped from your hands.
Nothing is as it seems and there is a primordial sense of “more
waiting to emerge” thumping in our intuitive bodies. Be careful.
Move slow even when you feel as if you need to rush. Listen to the
intuitive hits you are getting. I don't care why you feel uneasy
about going to x place to do y. If you feel wonky about it then just
don't freaking go! Better safe than sorry. You may find out later why
your brain was screaming “Nooo!” You may not. Listen and heed the
warning either way.

This morning the Moon is
briefly Void following her check in by sextile with Mars in Scorpio
at 11:07 AM. She enters Aquarius at 11:23 AM. At this point, the days
seem to running together without much break between them.
Mars hangs on to the final
degree of Scorpio most of the day until finally jumping into
Sagittarius at 9:30 PM. Actions are far reaching...potentially
desperate and exaggerated. Yeah. It's like we are grasping for
straws. Still yet, motions feel a little less encumbered as Mars
moves from being Pluto ruled to answering to Jupiter. Only thing is,
you have to remember that Jupiter shrinks in Virgo. He says don't
gloss over the details. Act humbly instead of with grandiosity. Help
others. Let loose of selfish endeavors. AND, never forget that Mars
is in shadow. Meaning, what you do now will most certainly be
revisited under different skies. Pay your future self favors instead
of over blowing your expectations. Practical. Simple. Generous and
humble is where you need to keep your trajectory instead of reaching
out too far into the uncertainty of our current atmosphere. Baby
steps. Well thought out baby steps are called for. Step one: Get out
of bed. Step two: Bravely face the day. Deal with one thing at a time
while giving yourself time to adjust before you move on to the next
thing. Sloooow and steady. If you manage to keep yourself at that
slow and steady pace, you can mark this day up as a success. That
will be enough of a job in and of itself.
Overnight the Sun waxes into
square with Saturn (1:04 AM) reminding us to be responsible, forward
moving and compassionate. But, it's likely going to feel somewhat
cumbersome and depressive. This is forced responsibility and
accountability. Not necessarily something we choose to pick up and
carry around. But, more like it is shoved upon our shoulders. Aim to
do the right thing which is not always the easy thing. No one can
decide what “right” is for you. But, know you will carry the
consequences around either way; so, choose wisely and deliberately.
Then, buckle your seat belts. This ecliptic ride has definitely left
the starting gate.
