This morning we wake up to
the Sun leaving his square with oppressive Saturn. Pressure may have
laid heavily on our hearts as we tried to sleep last night. But,
today, the Sun clicks over one degree and starts to back away from
that brick wall. Meanwhile, Jupiter officially perfects in inconjunct
to Uranus at 6:45 AM. Lightning bolts incoming. Sneaky little
sideways shocks meant to wake us up from our winter slumber. They may
be subtle...something prompting us to move. They may crack with the
ferocity of Thor's hammer bringing wild-eyed revelations that rattle
and electrify our bodily systems.
It is interesting to note
that Jupiter in Virgo and Uranus in Aries have nothing in common.
Jupiter in Virgo is Earth energy. It blesses us with the minuscule,
the mundane, the routine. It rejoices when we do simple things like
eat healthy and offer assistance to others. It rewards humility and
practicality. It delights in minor details and admires the sweat on
your brow and calluses on your hands after a hard days work.
Uranus in Aries, however, is
a potential war lord. Fiery electricity. The cult of personality. The
push for breaking routine and not only glossing over but running over
details in an effort to get where it is we are going. It is
inventive. Mechanical. Robotic. Rebellious and often dissatisfied.
So, what...in the Hell,
frankly...may this combination bring? Upset apple carts and routine.
Change. Emergency. An assured break in the mundane. Revolt. Religious
re-invention. Or, perhaps even a grass roots led revolutionary call
for both awareness and change...modern age crusade, if you will.
Spiritual upheaval in some ways. Spiritual freedom in others. The
feel is unsettled and restless. Uncomfortable and anxious. The
antidote? Humility. Grace. Fearlessness. Being in touch with what
your body needs right now while never forsaking the call of the inner
wild; but instead, learning to appease both perhaps in untried,
unexplored or unusual ways. And, it all comes under a yearning to fix
broken systems-- to bring them to ground and rebirth them evolved and
fit for a more modern and more aware age. The belly growls for
sustainable change and begs for a little common sense.
Our Moon is brilliant yet
dark in Aquarius right now. And, she is stabilized by a sextile to
Saturn at 3:03 PM. But, she is also in contact with both Jupiter and
Uranus through activating a base to the Yod. She meets Jupiter by
inconjunct at 7:03 PM and Uranus by sextile at 7:12 PM. Mercury and
Venus have traversed this pathway in our recent past. Now, this
catalytic but practical energy fills our emotional bodies...calling
for us to rise above current circumstances. Lift yourself up and
above the fog and look wide into the future. The view is crystalline
from above. But, the ground view is swampy, confused, chaotic. Lift
your vision above the chaos. Yes. You have to decide to do this on
purpose.
Just before midnight (11:37
PM), the Sun in Pisces is empowered by a sextile to Pluto in
Capricorn. This looks like a fierce lover of serenity. Which, also
makes no sense...much like catalytic practicality. However, it is
wonderfully powerful and able to endure less than satisfactory
conditions because it knows there is blessing to be found at the end.
It is also vehemently restorative. It can pump an ego up and imbibe
it with a lust for power, control and bring strong temptations along
with it. Or, it may bring just the planetary elixir we need to foster
a sense of survival and endurance. It could also cut loose some
fairly powerful and astute nightmares. We are deep, deep swimming
fish right now. Who knows what forces we may encounter in these
depths. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
Abusive power is not going to cut it under these skies. Though, I
assure you, it will be tried. However, digging deep and finding your
reserve power stores and using it to foster a stern sense of
responsibility and compassion will be greatly rewarded in the very
near future. This is done with humility not greed...not grasping for
straws but endurance, fortitude and integrity and is backed with a
certain type of knowing that we grabbed while floating above the
chaos earlier in the day.

Early this morning (3:48
AM), the Moon found Venus by conjunction and fell over to rest in
Void Status. She will remain Void until entering Pisces at 2:10 PM.
Oh. I love a Void Moon on Monday morning. In a way, it renders the
wickedness of Monday powerless. One day, I'm going to live in a world
where Mondays are insignificant. But, today, the Universe takes care
of that for me while Monday's still herald the beginning of my “day
job” work week. Be wary, though. The Moon does become active...very
active...again before the day is through.
We are still imbibed with
the power of Sun/Pluto. So, we may wake up and greet this morning
loaded for bear only to find the bear napping and uninterested.
All that is due to change
and the dust starts stirring right after the Moon enters Pisces and
squares Mars newly in Sagittarius at 3:12 PM. We are kick started to
move and our expectations of the amount of stuff we can accomplish
could be overblown. I encourage you to move slowly even though you
will feel prompted by some unforeseen force to move far quickly. Pull
it in. Mete it out evenly. We ARE NOT well rested collectively and
this is the feeling that follows that fact. You know? Jittery.
Anxious. Ambiguous. Must do something but not sure what...and on top
of that I'm frazzled and wired all at the same time. Know that
feeling? Restless exhaustion.
Do what must be done and
nothing more. Don't make giant leaps. Take baby steps. Jupiter, the
current ruler of Mars, shrinks in Virgo. His normal call is large and
aggrandized. But, in Virgo, he wants you to be mindful of each pebble
that rests on the path in front of you. Skip no steps. Take one
little bitty well thought out step at a time. It's going to be hard
enough to do that because we will feel pushed to do otherwise. So,
your best bet under this sky is to just keep reminding yourself to
breathe and slow down. Set an easily manageable pace. One that will
sustain the long haul because it IS a long and arduous road ahead.
At 9:31 PM, the Moon finds
Mercury in Pisces by conjunction. You may discover you have been
deceived. You may discover the perpetrator of that deception is you.
This is confusing and swirly.
With the entrance of Mercury
in Pisces, we are experiencing a thaw...emerging from the frozen air
of winter. The Earth begins to wiggle and stir with life in the
Northern Hemisphere. Soon, Venus will join this thaw and the Northern
Hemisphere will bloom with the blessing of Spring. Today, we likely
experience the pre-spring rains that wake the ground up in
preparation for that. Venus enters Pisces on March 12th
and brings the opening of daffodils and forsythia with her. Watch for
it.
But, today, the brain is a
swirling puddle...rich with imaginative life and creativity. Tadpole
brain. Little promises of inspiration and life that has not yet fully
developed. The thoughts are nearly unrecognizable in comparison to a
fully formed idea. What is that thing? What will it grow up to be?
Only problem with that is those that are most inclined to be creative
are also intuitive and empathic. These are the people who can feel
the Earth waking up and can feel the energy stirring within the folks
they surround themselves with. They can also feel the incoming
eclipse and the uncertainty that wafts in with it. Due that, this
aspect could wax in with anxiety and nervousness. Again, ensnaring us
from sleep. All those doomsday inclinations you are having? They'd
make a great book. But, let's skip the part where we end up focusing
on them so much that they manifest. K? If you are fearful, say a
little prayer. Give it over to your ethereal guidance system. Have
faith that they will deal with it effectively and then, let it go.
Let it waft out on the same wave it wafted in on and try to get some
rest. Let your fears and anxieties dissolve. Hand it over to the
darkening Moon. Write them on a piece of paper and burn them.
Returning them to dust and wafting away in the wind. Declare that you
will deal with whatever happens as it comes instead of wringing your
hands in anticipation. Know that this energy is heralding our wake
up...not our death. But, there will be times it feels like we are
dying. It's ok to talk about it. I encourage you to do so, as a
matter of fact. Let the swirling flow your mouth and evaporate in the
air. Know that, at times, it will feel nonsensical, incomprehensible
and as if you are “speaking in tongues.” Just go with it. It
doesn't have to make sense right now. And, if you can't find the
words to articulate how you feel, find a song that fits, poetry,
meditate a little, pray a lot, hum some. Gather words that appeal to
you from magazines and create a collage that may just reflect what is
happening in your brain. Don't forget to verbalize the words out loud
when you find them. No sense in keeping it all dammed up. Hit the
release valve in whatever method appeals to you. Hopefully, once we
empty all the brain slog we can find a resting place instead of being
tangled in an 8 or 9 of Swords scenario. Dissolve the self-created
yarns that bind you. Release your nightmarish fears instead of
letting them force you into unwelcome wakefulness. Go home, Mercury.
You are drunk. Which reminds me...perfect night for receiving drunk
and incomprehensible, yet dribbling with emotion, messages. It is
also a great night for sincere apologies and sincere forgiveness.

So. Here we are. The
day/night of the eclipse. The precipice of the moment when the Moon
will pass between the Sun and the Earth blocking the light. Cutting.
The Ego takes a back seat and our emotionality, as reflected from the
“dark side of the Moon,” steps forward. All that was denied is
revealed and felt. It's acute. It's visceral. And, it threatens to
open a whole vortex of things that we previously tried to avoid and
discount. Pandora's box is open and it's contents are dancing clearly
in our field of awareness. “How did I end up here,” we may ask.
And, Jupiter's critical yet well meaning spotlight falls directly on
the spot we need to be aware of. “Here. This is what is making you
sick,” he speaks gently but boldly. The light of truth illuminates
and shines through the darkness of the eclipse. “We are broken,
there,” he smiles. “Now, you see it clearly. Where, before, you
didn't know. Now you do know. And, you can deal. Now, you can repair.
This is the bed you have made for yourself. If you don't rest well,
know it is of your own doing. The remedy, though, lies in your hands
as well.” Um hmm. This may hurt a bit. But, know the hurt has
purpose. You cannot fix what is broken if you deny or blur what it is
that is causing the pain. Awareness is a gift, not a punishment.
Though, at times, it sure can feel like it. Be aware. Accept and deal
with what is revealed to you instead of trying to shove it back under
the rug. Also realize that the anticipation of being stuck by a
needle is often worse than what it really is. Breathe through it.
The morning begins with the
Sun in Pisces in opposition to Jupiter at 5:58 AM. We are martyrs,
liars, victims and thieves. And, the remorse of that finds us as the
Moon drowns in Neptune's seas by conjunction 6:13 AM. We release our
emotionality as if we are watering spring's flowers with our
teardrops. The salt water stings our cheeks. But, I encourage you to
let it flow freely.
By 4:30 PM we are all cried
out and only left with consequence as the Moon finds Saturn by
square. There is solidness in this place. Reality. Sobriety. But,
there is also the potential for remorse and regret. It's not to late
to say you are sorry. It's not too late to bear responsibility for
the actions you took when you were less aware. It's not too late for
anything as long as the world keeps turning...and, it will.
An hour later (5:57 PM), the
Moon finds restoration and re-empowerment along with endurance as she
waxes into sextile with Pluto in Capricorn. She opposes Jupiter at
7:48 PM and holds within that light of truth until the eclipse
perfects at 8:56 PM. The world will likely fall silent for a few
hours. In awe of nature's wonders and this ecliptic opening. We
undeniably know. All that's left is fostering the strength to accept.
At midnight, we closely
inspect what Jupiter has been showing us...the ways we continually
make ourselves sick, the ways we keep catalyzing our own undoing, the
ways in which we keep getting in our own way, the poisons we allow
ourselves to eat, drink, think. We cannot deny them anymore. As a
good self-parent, we should recognize the call of our sick inner
child for assistance. We address that child lovingly and
compassionately forgiving her for her misunderstanding, denial and
not knowing. We embrace her imperfections with protective wings and
vow to help her get better instead of berating her with “should
haves.” To err is to be human. Fostering a sense of forgiveness for
yourself is infectious allowing you to be more accepting of others
who act without understanding. They don't know what they do. And,
while I encourage you not to enable their behavior, I do encourage
you to accept it as it is and forgive it. Soften. Even if they aren't
sorry; because, this is for you, not them. Then, sift out the trash
from the flowing waters. Clear the stream. Make better and more well
informed choices...because, now you know. It is certainly an
unforgettable knowing.
From here, the Moon is Void
until entering Aries at 2:41 PM tomorrow. Rest.

Numbness finds us this
morning. Emotional hangovers create a dense fog of nothingness. There
have been so many emotions entangled in our systems for so long that
we have been acutely feeling. Now, we find the point of numbness that
threatens to birth apathy. The Moon is Void in Pisces. The first
eclipse has passed. The second is incoming with a bit of a different
flavor and added nuance. But, for now, we sink.
At 2:41 PM the Moon awakens
in Aries. She hasn't forgotten the hole that the eclipse has opened.
The flickering beacon of awareness and knowledge dance like sunset on
the curtains of your evening window. The Moon is wise as she now
begins to reflect this knowledge on her face; she takes up arms
slowly. The call will feel like we need to take off running. The Moon
finds Mars by trine at 4:52 PM. Be wary and hold back your horses.
Move slowly and with trepidation and caution. If an opportunity
presents, grasp it gently not greedily. Blessings may fall from the
sky. But, if you are in too big of a hurry, you could run miss them
or end up running your chariot off a cliff. Slow down. Know the power
of this trine will help you get up again. That's the main thing you
need to focus on...just getting up. Then, after you get up, carefully
contemplate your next footprint and every one that is to follow.
Consciously and FEARLESSLY walk your truth. Share what you've learned
with others not forcefully or with lip service...but through your
future actions. Demonstratively and without the preaching or “I
told you so.” Lead by example and by setting new precedent.
Thursday, March 10, 2016
The Moon is active and
pro-active in Aries this morning. Spring fever is threatening our
doorstep. Dare we even begin to dream of it? How can we not when her
aroma precedes her...taunting us with her approaching presence. We
keep looking for more signs of her arrival. Is that a flower
blooming? A robin? Where is the Earth waking up now?
We do feel a bit better
today. More under our own authority. This is supported by a trine
from the Aries Moon to Saturn at 4:38 PM. We could diligently cover a
lot of ground today. Yet, through everything we are involved in, we
carry an air of accountability. Steadiness. The footprints we leave
are well placed. Our pace is strong and steady.
At 6:02 PM, the Moon squares
our Dark Lord Pluto who offers us a deal. His slithering tongue
sneaks out of it's toothed cage writhing with hunger across his lips
as he illustrates the terms. Be powerful and resistant to his
promises. They are lies. Lean back into your work with renewed focus
and repeat after me, “Not today, Satan. Not today.”
In our late evening, we are
ready to rid ourselves of the shackles of the day. New experience
beckons. Inspiration strikes. The unexpected rattles us out of our
rhythmic work groove as the Moon finds Uranus by conjunction in Aries
at 8:44 PM. If shocks arrive, hold steady and absorb them. Ground
them out in an effort to effectively respond instead of just react.
Pull upon the power of Jupiter, also within reach of the Moon through
inconjunct and triage with clear, calm and practical eyes. Pull
yourself back to focus on delineating just the next step. Make it.
Then, focus on the next one. Slowly...three hours following this, the
Sun meets with Chiron in Pisces (11:26 PM). This is why you need to
move slowly. Mercury also meets with Neptune at 1:01 AM. We are
confused following a potential startle and in danger of hurting
ourselves. A very literal way this could play out is that you were
already distracted and something happened to snatch you out of it. In
a hurry to respond, you get up and run forgetting the pile of dirty
laundry in your floor. You trip, landing somewhere between the
bathroom and kitchen...hard. After the surpassing the stun of “what
the heck just happened,” you realize you've broken your arm. SNAP.
That quick. You were just sitting over there doing something and now
you are sprawled on the floor with broken bones. Running to your rescue is someone carrying a video camera. It was all a joke. You were set up. Now your clumsy flinging through hallway space is going to end up on some ridiculous Rob Dyrdek show. But, it's not funny. It's really...not...funny.
So. Move slow. Absorb the
shock and consciously decide when you need to move. Don't allow
yourself to be cattle prodded into action.
Over and above all that?
It's really not a good night to be picking a fight or putting
yourself in a situation that may lead to fight. I'd ixnay on the bar
scene tonight. There will be other ladies nights.

This morning the Moon is
still active in Aries and Mercury is still drunk. However, the day is
mostly hum-drum with the only lunar aspect coming in through a
sextile with Venus. We are fairly relaxed. Perhaps recuperating. But,
the mind is still kind of foggy and swimmy. The sextile with Venus at
1:25 PM escorts our Aries Moon into Void status. She will remain here
lazily until sinking into Taurus at 2:45 PM.
I think many will welcome
this lunar transition. Things finally seem to calm down a little bit.
We reach a resting spot between the chaotic eclipses. And, did
somebody mention food? Where's the part we get to eat all of our
emotions instead of drown in them. I'm up for some of that. Chances
are you will be too.
Saturday, March 12, 2016
This morning many will stir
slowly. To be honest, if you aren't recovering from the eclipse or
Sun/Chiron, you are probably plumb wore out. So, beds will be the hot
spots of the day for the most part.
Plus, our current Moon's
ruler passes into Pisces early this morning (5:24 AM) making the
dreamscape a very appealing place. Why not linger there?
You might as well. The Moon
passes by Neptune just a few minutes deeper in our morning at 6:55
AM. About the only thing that may lure us out of dreamland and back
into reality is the wafting smell of cinnamon rolls coming from the
kitchen...which could very well occur around brunchtime. The Moon
catches a whiff of something as she wafts by Mercury in Pisces at
10:57 AM.
It's a good day for
lounging. And, dreaming. And enjoying the ability to lounge..and
graze...and wallow in our Taurean filth. A hot bath would be nice. Or
long shower. And, maybe an early afternoon nap.
By early evening, we are
hungry. Yeah, we've grazed on everything in the house. But, we are
ready for something we can really sink our teeth into now. The Moon
finds Pluto by trine at 6:42 PM. This kick starts the appetite that
subsequently continues growing with a trine from the Moon to Jupiter
at 7:37 PM. Yeah. You probably should have went to the grocery store.
No worries. It isn't too late. Grab your bunny slippers and let's go.
Chocolate stays open all night.
PS: Take advantage of this
day by relaxing.
