This morning, the Moon in
Sagittarius creates a fire trine with Uranus at 4:58 AM. Overlaying
this we have a water trine created between the Sun in Cancer, Mars in
Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. The Moon squares Chiron at 6:11 AM and
enters Void status until entering Capricorn at 3:34 PM. Yet, the
water trine hangs with us for the majority of the day.
Heal. Rest. Restore. That is
the main call. Cancer Sun calls for self-nurturing. Mars in Scorpio
is asking us to stop so our energetic stores can be replenished.
Chiron in Pisces says you have not been resting well. So, it's time
to start.
Of course this may be
difficult. The Moon is getting fatter by the minute and some folks
find it hard to simmer down long enough to rest when she is in this
condition. However, under the VOC Moon, we may find opportunity for
just that.
As the Moon enters Capricorn
this evening, it's a good idea to plot out the week ahead. Meaning,
prepare ahead of time as much as you can. For me, this includes
buying/preparing food for the week ahead. Making sure I have clean
clothes to wear to work. Penciling in reminders in my schedule. Stuff
like that. It seriously comes in handy when things get chaotic within
the week itself. So, tonight offers wonderful opportunity to get
prepared.

I need to go to work.
However, I do not want to go to work. That is the feel that I'm
getting from the Moon in Capricorn at an inconjunct to both Mercury
and Venus in Leo. It's fleeting. But, it's also Monday. So, partially
par for the course.
By midday, the Moon in
Capricorn is softened and subdued due a sextile to Neptune in Pisces
(1:37 PM). By nightfall, though, we find her steeped in a conjunction
with Pluto (9:26 PM). This can be a marker for paranoia, obsession,
power struggles and subservient emotional control/manipulation
tactics. Threats, even. Or someone so obsessed with the fume of their
own power that they abuse others with it knowingly or not. The
highest use is deeply rooted integrity, strong use of personal
authority, fearlessness in the face of fear, staring down personal
demons and resisting temptation catalyzed toward greed, power lust
and a dark yearning to control others. Nightmares are also possible
here. Yet, even our nightmares can tell us quite a bit about the
hidden fears that linger in our psyche. Learn from them more than you
fear them.
At 2:28 AM, Mercury in Leo
is simmered down and gains a bit of maturity through a trine with
Saturn in Sagittarius. If you did have a nightmare or a stirring
dream, jot it down. Record (Mercury/Saturn) for later study. Also
know that this energy hangs with us through tomorrow. Be properly
assertive in speaking your opinion but remain responsible for the
impact of what you say. There are plenty of grown up issues to
address out there so address them like a grown up instead of a
screaming spoiled child.
In our early morning, the
Moon meets her Earthy companion Jupiter in Virgo by trine. It's time
to get down to business. Expanded Earth energy says our benefit lies
in being grounded and practical. It calls for us to model emotional
maturity and responsibility. It does not call for us to preach about
how everybody else is doing everything wrong. It calls for personal
awareness of what kind of modeling you are portraying in your own
life moreso than a nitpicking or bossing around of others. Plus,
there is a call to productivity here. Farmers often rise with the
chickens. Many of us will be inclined to do the same tomorrow
morning...if we manage to get to sleep under this heightened lunar
energy to begin with. This is also where our preparations for the
week made on Sunday begin to bless us. Both Jupiter and Virgo love
being prepared. And, you may be glad that you are too, at this point.
Remember it is a humble rising under Jupiter in Virgo, though.
Tuesday, July 19, 2016
Ok. So, thankfully today
starts off grounded. We are going to want to hold on to that. The
opportunity comes through a trine early this morning with the Moon in
Capricorn and Jupiter in Virgo as I mentioned at the end of
yesterday's write up.
However, by midday, the
nearly Full Moon is poked and catalyzed by a square to Uranus in
Aries. Let us not forget about the potential of instant regret due to
impulsive or erratic action. Know, though, that adrenaline will
likely rise causing us to feel anxious or unsettled. Anxiety and
nervousness and a feeling of being “on edge” are likely. Breathe
through it. Rise above the chaos for a better view of the situation
and think things through before you respond. And, I do mean respond
instead of reacting. That is the higher pole of this square. Know
that many will become reactive instead of opting to rise above
because they are unaware of what is happening. You know, though. So
be accountable for your own actions in the face of someone else
potentially popping their cork. Self-control here is essential but
teeth grittingly hard to achieve at times.
Yet, the potential remorse
for not doing so comes on quickly as the Moon finds Chiron by sextile
just an hour later (2:09). She also meets Mars in Scorpio by sextile
at 3:13 PM. This creates a kite in the sky. A wonderful enveloping of
protection nearly like a divine safety net that wraps of the gentle
loving care of the water trine with Sun, Mars and Chiron and tops it
with responsible leadership energy.
At 6:58 PM, our Full Moon in
Capricorn POPS at 27 Cap/Cancer 40.
SUN AT 28 CANCER: Indian
girl introduces college boyfriend to her tribe. The human soul as
intercessor between primordial natural forces and the intellectual
order. Self-integration. Linkage.
MOON AT 28 CAPRICORN: The
aviary of a rural mansion filled with singing birds. Enhancement
of personality by familiarity with spiritual values. Joying in the
significance of things; or mental confusion.
There is a bit of a
challenge to the concept of tradition here. It is quite obvious that
the methods of handling stand offs in the past are not working. We
have not been taught, really, how to diffuse or extinguish conflict.
Peaceful conflict resolution is not a course they teach in school.
But, wow...wouldn't that come in handy?
The reason I mention
standoff is because we have opposition under a Full Moon. When there
are oppositions in the sky, there is a literal standoff between polar
opposite signs in the zodiac. The key to rectifying this is balance
while aiming for the higher expression of each polarity. In this
instance, what we want to do is pull out the best version of our
inner parents. The high end of Sun in Cancer is sensitive, nurturing
and intuitive. The low end is manipulative, moody and perhaps even
codependent. The high end of Moon in Capricorn is integrity,
emotional maturity and personal accountability. The low end is
attempting to control the emotions of others or dictating how someone
should feel and, of course, abuses of power or influence due a
subservient agenda.
As this Full Moon perfects
the POP will likely be palpable. As if someone hit a release valve on
the emotional body. You may not realize how wound up you've been for
the last few days before now. But, this orgasmic energetic pop that
deflates the balloon of tension will show you exactly how wound up
your emotional system has been. Breathe out and allow the deflation
to occur. Release...release...release.
Following the perfection of
the Full Moon, she is Void until entering Aquarius at 11:12 PM.

This morning we wake under
an Aquarius Moon. Emotional detachment and an ability to bear in mind
the mood of the collective is upon us. High functioning emotional
intelligence is at our disposal. However, we don't want to allow that
to veer toward ice cold. We still want to care; we just do not want
to be overly affected with illogical emotionality. We want meaning
for our feels. But, we do cool off here a bit.
Venus also gets a little
settled and grown up with a trine to Saturn in Sagittarius at 9:20
AM. I love grown up love. And this trine brings maturity to matters
of personal desire and accountability toward things we value. Plus,
it brings a little patience and diligence to the process of getting
what we want. It's stable, responsible and reliable.
That stable reliability
finds our emotional bodies, too, as the Moon sextiles Saturn at 5:36
PM and subsequently opposes Venus in Leo at 6:27 PM. Aquarius and
Sagittarius get along just fine for the most part. This eases the
tension (along with Venus' trine to Saturn) across the polarity of
the opposition. We must compare how our personal set of values
compares to that of the collective. We will see how we differ but can
also find commonality. We are reminded that it is not always about
what is best for “me.” No person is an island and we should all
recognize what role we play within the collective. This helps to
balance the needs of the many against the desires of a few (or just
you). Hopefully, a well balanced compromise can be reached when we
all maintain a cool head and responsible heart in the negotiations.
At midnight, the Moon also
opposes Mercury in Leo. Both are still within orb of Saturn which
settles things to a degree that opinions and view points can be
shared in a way that folks don't necessarily take it as a personal
attack. Every voice matters. Collecting them and analyzing them for a
common theme/solution would be the forte of the Aquarian Moon. We are
socially conscious here and honestly looking for a solution that fits
in regard for the betterment of society rather than just pounding
away at a personal agenda.

This morning is without
major aspect allowing us to study/contemplate the details of the
information exchanged over night. By early evening, the Moon meets
Uranus in Aries by sextile and a “EUREKA!” like solution to the
problems we've been mulling over may appear.
Yet, by 9:57 PM, our
Aquarian Moon squares off with powerful Mars in Scorpio. No. The
answer is not to kill all who oppose us, says our logical and
peace-loving Vulcan-like Moon. There is no need to go to extremes.
However, planets in Scorpio often miss this. For Mars, here, the
options are typically kill or be killed. Our first go to may be to
fight fire with fire. But, here we are called to fight fire with ice.
Remain cool and continue to disallow this from feeling personal.
Folks are likely impatient and hungry for satiation under this
square. Don't fall prey to that. Don't let your passion control you.
You are the boss of it. There is also a chance for ambiguity and
there may be trouble really “getting into” whatever task you have
ahead of you. In harsh aspect, we need to pull upon the Eagle
foresight of Mars in Scorpio and the predictive, analytical and
heightened emotional maturity of the Moon in Aquarius to balance it
out. The negative end of this has us loosing all compassion and
concern for the collective as a whole and my prompt violent
outbursts. I know which pole I'd rather reach for. I've seen enough
violent lashing out. I'm ready to move toward conflict resolution and
violence diffusion. That would be new. I'll take some of that. Who's
with me?
Following the square with
Mars, the Moon reaches Void status until entering Pisces at 4:37 AM
tomorrow. And, by the way, this is the last official day of Cancer
season. The Sun moves into Leo bright and early tomorrow (5:31 AM).

Happy birthday, Leo! Today
the Sun has exited the Cardinal Waters of Cancer and entered the
Fixed Fire realm of Leo. I typically delight in Leo energy. I love
big cats almost as much as I love cows (Taurus). Thankfully, I'm
surrounded by a lot of both since I have neither emphasized in my
natal chart.
Today the atmosphere may
feel a little lighter and more playful than previous days. With the
Sun in Creative Leo and the Moon in Sensitive and Imaginative Pisces,
it would be a great day for fantastical entertainment. Movies. Play
therapy. Coloring books. Art/Music venues and the like.
Of course a mixture of Leo
and Pisces can also produce a type of “whiny child” syndrome.
Maybe we could all use a good nap. Either way the sky is bent toward
play and leisure more than productivity today.
However, later tonight, the
Pisces Moon is chastised and perhaps a little depressed under a
square from Saturn in Sagittarius. Don't shame yourself over a lack
of productivity. Having fun and leaning into personal care are just
as much your responsibility as balancing your check book. Thankfully
the Moon also meets Neptune by conjunction around midnight. We can
forget about the self-chastising and sink into sleeping it off.
Though, yes, things could be a little watery and emotional at this
point. You need to sleep on it.
Saturday, July 23, 2016
This morning there is a good
chance we wake up feeling more sturdy and perhaps a bit empowered
through a sextile from the Moon in Pisces to Pluto in Capricorn at
8:09 AM. This is nice supportive energy. Just the right mixture of
Earth and Water to produce tangible solid results. Working on
building the products of our dreams or bringing ideals into concrete
realistic form is indicated. It does have depth though. Are products
are the result of some deep soul searching. Which definitely isn't a
bad thing. There are gems deep within your psyche hidden more
obscurely than...whatever the most powerful yet elusive Pokemon is.
By 4:26 PM the Moon meets
Jupiter in Virgo by opposition. With Moon in Pisces, emotions can be
chaotic. We are sensitive and at times widely susceptible to the
emotional states we surround ourselves with. However, Virgo holds the
medicine that Pisces needs. And, vice versa. Pisces brings compassion
to Virgo's potential critical edge and Virgo brings the ability to
triage and prioritize in the midst of chaos to Pisces. It's a nice
mix, in my opinion. Boundaries and a bit of humility in service mixed
with compassion for your fellow man is a nix concoction. The only
caution? Don't allow Jupiter to blow your emotional system out of
proportion. Par it down. Keep it simple. Remain practical.
By nearly midnight, the Moon
sinks into a potentially remorseful conjunction with Chiron in
Pisces. If we became too inflated under Moon/Jupiter we may feel the
regret of that now. It's ok. There will be opportunity to learn from
the experience and build better coping mechanisms for the next time a
similar situation rolls around.

Early this morning (3:08 AM)
the Moon entered a water trine with Mars in Scorpio just after
leaving her conjunction with Chiron. This kick starts a bit of
motivation. And, yes, Mars is picking up speed now. He is nearly 4
degrees away from his retrograde station! This, my friends, is
progress.
The Moon is Void following
this trine and our motivations simmer while we slowly wake up. Then,
it returns when the Moon enters Aries at 8:34 AM.
From here, the Moon lights
up beautiful fire trines with her fellow fire planets. The trine with
the Leo Sun comes first at 12:18 PM. Then, there is a grounded and
focused trine with Saturn that waxes in in our overnight hours.
Remember, with Leo we are aiming for a warm generous glow not an
overly blazing one that demands the whole stage for oneself. But,
with all the fire crackling in the air it is a good day for motion
and movement. It's been awhile. Expend this on work or fun. Sports
(backyard croquet? Volleyball? Friendly neighborhood softball game?)
are highlighted as well as jovial activity. Yeah. Get ya some of
that! And, definitely share the playfulness potential of today
generously.
