On a personal level, this is
the time of year that I am reminded of how many Aries folks I have in
my life. The birthday reminders start on the 23rd and run
all the way to April 1. As a Libra, I have stopped and asked myself
if it could be true that opposites attract due this phenomena. I
mean, I'm so not Aries. So. Not. Aries. However, one of my tasks in
this lifetime was to learn how to use my Mars. So, I have all these
Mars people in my life. Each of them different. Some are positive
role models. Some, not so much. But, they are all teachers just the
same. Drawn into my life as solid example of the energy I need to
develop more fully. It was only after I found Astrology that I
understood this. I have what is considered a “debilitated” Mars
in Libra. He is conjunct Uranus and Pluto while trining Saturn. To be
“debilitated” he certainly is a force to be reckoned with. He is
also in a tight opposition to my Chiron which, of course, is in
Aries. Once I noted that configuration it was easy to figure out the
purpose of all these Aries folks. My parents and my stepmother. My
oldest and dearest friend. My nemesis, even. Literally, the asteroid
Nemesis also resides in Aries in my natal chart. After all, though my
NN is in Capricorn, it is also in my first house. So, there is plenty
to learn, grow and develop in Aries territory, too, in an effort to
fully meet the call of my North Node. I do get a little aggravated at
times, though. It's like the Universe made me a Super Libra; but her
overall plan was grow me into this Capricorn/Aries thing. Calling me
to initiate. Take charge. Be the responsible warrior. “Not fair,”
I say. But, had it been a less challenging path, I would have been
excruciatingly bored. So, in the end, the Universe knows best, I
guess.
I mention this because among
the collective, we are being called to do much of the same thing I've
been called to do in regard to my Mars. Re-learn how to effectively
initiate. Learn to pick our battles. Refine our warrior selves in
such a way that we do not unwittingly become the ugly force we
recognize in our enemies. We are being called to start over. Learn to
walk again, metaphorically. While also being called to discover our
own personal truth while gently and humbly (GENTLY AND HUMBLY! I
said.) but unashamedly walking forward with it. This is the Universal
task being laid before us right now. So, keep that knowledge tucked
under your hat as we slowly move into Spring and summer.
Long-term trajectory aside,
today we wake up to a Void Moon in Scorpio following a trine with
Chiron in Pisces at 10:46 AM. She remains Void until entering
Sagittarius at 2:47 AM. We quietly and gently traverse this rather
dispassionate day. Contemplating our spiritual emergence and what it
may hold. We heal. We rest. And, prepare to begin, again. Quitting
remains a non-option.
The eclipses have ended for
now. Though, the adjustments they have caused us to make will be an
ongoing issue. The dull gong resonates through still echoes. Soon, we
will pull our feet back under ourselves and attempt to stand again.
But, today, our feet are best found propped up and relaxed. Bare and
unrestricted. Oh, a pedicure would be nice!!
Monday, March 28, 2016
This morning the Moon is
brilliant in Sagittarius. She spends most of the day waxing into a a
conjunction with Mars (4:13 PM) followed by a trine to the Sun (8:13
PM). It's a good day to get out and about. Motion and action satisfy
the call of today's Moon. She wants to wander, roam and venture out
to explore. Therefore, being trapped in an office most the day may be
a little dissatisfying. My suggestion, if this is you, open a window
if you can to let fresh air in. Take frequent breaks to get up and
move around. And, later tonight, plan on going for a walk or to the
gym. Something that gets you moving. In my opinion, something that
preferably gets you outside.
I don't know the specific
fire conditions in your area. But, if you are good to go, then today
would be a good day to burn Winter's old clothes. Double bonus if you
save the ash and till it in your future garden spot. As a matter of
fact, the next two weeks (during the waning moon) are excellent for
final preparations to your dirt in your garden, pots or whatever for
planting. Our waning Water or Earth Moons are perfect for planting
veggies that produce underground like onions or radishes. Mine went
in the ground under the Scorpio Moon. However, you have plenty of
time and ample opportunity under Moon in Capricorn or Pisces prior to
the New Moon in Aries.
Overall, it is a fairly
playful day. I even see some room for laughter and finally getting to
lean into your budding Spring fever. Our hair is down. Our clothing
is light and springy. I called a halt to the season for closed toe
shoes about 3 weeks ago. Many will follow...lol...”in toe” after
today.
Later tonight (11:50 PM) the
Moon does square Neptune which can rain on our little Spring parade.
However, it occurs so late in the day that it could be perfect for
sending us off for a good night's visit to dreamland. Since the signs
of Pisces and Sagittarius both deal with the dreamscape, sleeptime
could bring interesting scenery and symbolism. Either way, getting
physically active in the heart of the day will likely bring more
sound sleep tonight.
Tuesday, March 29, 2016
This morning we wake up
fairly easily for the most part. Our active Sagittarius Moon waxes
into a mind-racing trine with Mercury at 8:57 AM which is followed
quickly by a square to Jupiter at 9:57 AM. We yearn for the far
reaching in order to cast of the dust and bring air and movement back
into our lives. Only problem with that, there is work to do and
responsibilities to take care of. The Moon finds Saturn by harsh
conjunction at 11:19 AM. Saturn and Jupiter are separated by a mere 1
degree at this time. The pressure of their square is waning, but
still present. The Moon passes through and links the two back up,
temporarily. The mind spins trying to tackle all the jobs we have
before us. While Jupiter and Saturn remind us not too get overwhelmed
nor take ourselves and our work too seriously. Instead, take your
time and diligently chunk out one thing at a time instead of trying
to do everything at once. Think about how much more freely you will
be able to move once you've checked some of these “burdens” off
your list.
Today is certainly a “get
up and get busy” type of day. That doesn't mean you can't have fun
with it. As a matter of fact, I highly suggest you do.
At 2:37 PM, Mercury gets a
peek at Jupiter's checklist through an inconjunct. Then, motors rev
as the Moon finds Uranus by, yet another, fire trine at 6:03 PM. Get
busy in the morning. Note your progress on your to do list in the
early evening. Then, by tonight, feel more free and less encumbered
due your progress under the Uranus trine.
As a Capricorn rising with
Venus in Virgo and Saturn Rx in the 6th, I always consider
work and responsibility and those blessed task lists first. Tonight,
though, feel free to be satisfied with what you've accomplished and
cast that task list aside for lighter and more social activities. Oh,
the wind longs to play with your hair. So, give it an opportunity.
There is a bit of “crunchy”
that enters our atmosphere later tonight as the Moon squares Venus in
Pisces at 9:56 PM and Chiron at 10:38 PM. So, don't OVER do to avoid
aching muscles and tired arches tonight. Remember, slow diligence
this morning and carefree in the later afternoon. Then, rest (perhaps
a nice hot soaking bath) and recuperate tonight. Many may discover
that even though they have spent the last two days “running” they
have yet to escape the problems in their heart. Nor, have they been
able to dissolve them. Echoes are a possibility. Past lovers. Old
friends. Overly rose-colored memories. Potentially painful reminders
of the past OR there is also a possibility of fostering a sense of
closure. It all depends on whether you decide to wallow or finally
realize you can live “without it.”
Following the square with
Chiron, the Moon is Void until entering Capricorn at 1:46 PM
tomorrow. Yet, Mercury and Venus remain quite active after the Moon
goes to sleep. This starts tonight as Mercury waxes into trine with
Saturn Rx in Sagittarius at 11:03 PM.
The trine between Mercury
and Saturn, of course, falls in fire signs. The brain is ready to
take off with plans for the future and this is the perfect “pause”
in emotionality to allow us to assess those plans. We want to lay
solid pavers toward our future. This is a good time to pontificate
their future placement and make our plans more concrete. There is no
brain fog here. We are sharp. Quick. Decisions are swift and final.
Wednesday, March 30, 2016
This morning we wake up to
the Moon still Void in Sagittarius as Venus bleeds due a conjunction
with Chiron as she also crosses over the SN at 5:08 AM. Those
“stubbed toes” of our past still ache. And, our new shoes may
hurt our feet. Be easy with yourself. Forgive and accept as you heal
and repair. Expect the echoes. Know, at times, they will be quite
alluring. Yet, also, know that this is the same sneaky and wild
energy that mermaids and sirens use to lure sailors to their deaths.
Ok? I don't suggest following or becoming overly enchanted. What
waits at the end could consume you. As a matter of fact, there is a
story about a sailor who stuffed his ears with wax and tied himself
to a mast post on his ship to avoid being “lured to his death” by
these callings. Yeah. There ain't a darn thing wrong with guarding
yourself against such, as well. Develop strong coping mechanisms
while refusing to be caught in the undertow.
At 10:52 AM our warrior
Mercury squares off with the formidable force of Dark Lord Pluto.
Through it's lowest expression, this births paranoia. At it's
highest, it is a ferocious detective. Fearlessly looking for clues
and insight into how this “construct” got so effed up. It is a
square. So, no light and easy thing. Therefore, arguments with
authority, potentially violent protests and insidious plans can be
birthed or acted upon here. The Moon IS void, though. So that helps a
bit. But, yeah, there could be some sailor mouths out there. Sailor
mouths and mermaid echoes. You know...that whole wax in your ears
thing is starting sound more and more appealing to me. Just, in that,
don't get too wrapped up in your own negative inner speech. Don't
become a victim of your own mentality. Feel free to unravel and
re-wrap your brain/perspective, if necessary.
The Moon steps solidly into
Capricorn at 1:46 PM. I guess all the ruckus with Venus, Chiron,
Mercury and Pluto finally rustled her up from her slumber. We are
called to become accountable for our own emotions. Become steadied
and imbibed with integrity, foresight and forbearance. Stabilize.
But, prepare to soften with the mud of creativity. The Moon sextiles
Neptune in the morning immediately prior to our “final flush”
Last Quarter Moon.
Thursday, March 31, 2016
This, my friends, is a VERY
powerful day. We begin soft with a sextile from the Moon to Neptune
at 10:01 AM. I like this aspect as it brings compassion to authority
and limbers up an otherwise “bottom line” oriented Moon. Plus,
there is the factor of creative clay/mud which allows us to sculpt
our emotions into the art of our choosing. While the influx of water
does cause our hearts to stir a bit, it also brings with it the
ability to accept, forgive and bring forth a final purging of water
that may have grown stagnant in our hearts. Release. Create. Bring
form to this instead of allowing it to lay and sour bringing birth
blood sucking mosquitoes.
Our Last Quarter Moon waxes
in at 11:18 pitting our Capricorn Moon against our Aries Sun at about
11 degrees of Cardinal. There is an internal negotiation that needs
to occur here between the Corporal and the Warrior within. Battle
strategy may need to be re-negotiated. However, know this can cause
conflict with authority figures in mundane manifestation. Re-set your
priorities if needed. But, definitely reserve the right to call your
own shots while remaining accountable for any consequence that may
bring. Just don't forget the potential consequence when you are
firing away. The solid responsible Capricorn Moon knows that shooting
out of the gate is not a good idea right now. Allow the drag to
happen and use that time to ditch excess baggage. Work to become
lighter and think less of what has happened and, instead, focus on
what you want to achieve in the future. Continue releasing. Cutting
negative attachment. Recognizing and rectifying ways in which you
trip yourself up and get ready to start off with more solid and
lighter footing...soon...soon enough.
Holding true to being a “Day
of Thor,” following the Last Quarter Moon, Mercury meets up with
Uranus in Aries by conjunction at 4:50 PM. EUREKA! His hammer falls
and busts up all kinds of bullshit. Let me tell you what, I'm the
type that loves this aspect. Of course...I would with Mercury in
Scorpio in the 11th house. But, mental lightening zaps
(and thunderstorms), for real, turn me on. Others see it as mania. I
see it as invigorating and enlightening. My grandson has this aspect
in Aries in his natal chart. He's only 3 but he speaks like a very
well-educated adult. It's like one day he woke up and instead of
babbling he was speaking fully formed and grammatically correct
sentences. He picks up on new concepts quickly. But, he doesn't have
an inch of patience. Not one. Waiting is excruciating for him as his
little eager mind yearns to be fed with new knowledge and experience.
I sit back and watch him with both fear and awe. Because, I
realize...”Oh my gosh. He's smarter than every single adult around
him. WE could be in BIG trouble.” LOL! Plus, he's really cute. So,
yeah, we are all screwed.
I'm telling you what,
though, mouths will have NO FILTER today. Something may roll off your
tongue before you even get a chance to really think about it. At the
same time, though, brilliant ideas and solutions may also wax in. The
best possibility of that happening occurs if you took the time to get
the garbage out of your brain and did the mental purge as called for
under Mercury square Pluto and the Last Quarter Moon. Calling a halt
to wallowing and freeing up brain space opens up room for brilliance
to come in. But, it may not be a bad idea to back off from the
caffeine. Expect today to be kind of loud and fast paced.
After the mental electric
shock treatments, the Moon finds Jupiter in a solid Earthy trine
(6:58 PM). This is nice. Grounded. Practical. Allows us to work magic
with our lightning bolt inspiration and lay down a plan that helps
inspiration become manifest. We are confident. Emotionally sturdy and
inspired to keep moving forward with the pavers on our path forward.
It also helps to ground out and direct any leftover lightening bolts.
Just the energy we need at just the right time!
By 10:38 PM the Moon finds
Pluto by conjunction. At it's worst, this can catalyze greed and a
desire to emotionally control others. At it's highest and most
beneficial, it packs tenacity and endurance. A searing emotional fire
that uses outdated mentality as fuel. An excoriation of the emotional
body that calls for us to keep releasing and purging...cleansing and
renewing as we become deeply entrenched in the work that eventually
produces an exalted Phoenix. It's dark, rich and quite sexy when used
correctly. It's paranoid, fearful and greedy when left to run it's
own course. Resist temptation that only threatens to pull you
backward or undo you. Invoke the blessing of will power that comes
from this movement, instead.
This is a night when
“burning the midnight oil” could be a thing. It's been
ridiculously busy already; but, the energy of the Mercury/Uranus
conjunction sustains as the Moon moves on to square them both
starting at 3:21 AM and ending with the square to Mercury at 5:14 AM
in our early morning of tomorrow.

Fool's rush in where angels
fear to tread. This is an apt statement on this April Fool's day.
Many spent a restless mind churning night and wake up frazzled under
today's sky as a result. However, those who managed to tame the
electricity through the gentleness and grounding offered by
yesterday's Earth trine, the morning begins with more solid purpose
rather than just fried brains and scrambled thoughts.
Following a square with
Mercury at 5:14 AM, the Moon checks in via sextile with Chiron and
the SN. How are you healing? What still needs to be purged and
addressed? Here is your gut check opportunity for assessment.
In our early afternoon, the
Moon is also softened and subdued with a gentle sextile to Venus in
Pisces who sings of rest and pleasure. Perhaps even heralding a call
toward a nap at 12:40 PM. As a matter of fact, the set up is PERFECT
to take a break. You know how a cat likes to curl up and snooze in
the sunlight coming through the windows and doors? Doesn't that look
peaceful? Give it shot! Following this sextile, the Moon is Void
until entering Aquarius at 9:38 PM. At that time, we will be more apt
to socialize. But, in the early meat of the day, we are mostly spent.
Tired from yesterday's over-stimulation. By nightfall, we are ready
to come up for air.
Sesquisquares between the
Moon and Jupiter (10:12 PM) and Mercury and Mars (11:55 PM) color a
push to feel better and venture outward leaving the more dust in our
wake as we release the past and reach out for brighter days. Gather
friends around you. Dance a little. Allow yourself to be a bit
carefree and happy. Don't guilt yourself over the opportunity for
social interaction and light fellowship.
You'll be happy you did.
And, happy birthday to my
Dad :) The most wonderful “Fool of April” I've had the pleasure
to meet. Yeah, he's a natural prankster (in case you were wondering).
But, after a lifetime of interaction with him, I've learned to expect
and love that about him.
Saturday, April 2, 2016
This morning, our waning
Aquarius Moon meets Mars in Sagittarius by gentle sextile (11:15 AM).
Oh what a perfect set up for a road trip or venturing out to catch a
view of the consistently awakening Spring scenery. It's not a day you
want to spend locked up in your house, for sure. Get outside, folks.
Allow the fresh Spring winds and tender greens inspire you. That's
what they long to do.
The calling sense of
adventure and running like free uninhibited children continues with a
lovely sextile from the Moon in Aquarius to the Sun at 9:59 PM. Then,
overnight we are supported by a nice grounded sextile from the Moon
to Saturn (2:30 AM).
Go on. Give yourself
permission to play. That's what this energy is here for. Remember
playtime? Fun? How wonderful it feels to physically engage in
things/activities you love? Why not stir up some of that today? The
set up could NOT be more perfect. Cast your worries and work aside
and get yourself some of that. The entire weekend is set up for pure
enjoyment and freedom. We don't have such a privilege wrapped up in
such sweet divine timing as we have before us this weekend. So, on
your task list for the next two days, write “enjoyment” IN INK
and fully lean into that however it may appeal to you.
