This morning, we wake up to
the Moon entering Scorpio. She makes no major aspect throughout the
day. She perfects in trine to Neptune in tomorrow's early morning
hours making for a groggy and or magical/mystical start to Tuesday.
But, today, she is largely quiet. Introspective regarding deeply
personal matters. I would also imagine this to be a wonderful week to
become pregnant if you are trying (or if you are not). Use that
knowledge as you will.
Scorpio's traditional ruler,
in our week to come, will be seeing quite a bit of action toward the
end of the week as the Moon finds him by conjunction just a few hours
after Venus finds him by square from Libra. We also have the final
perfection of Saturn in square to Neptune this week and a second
opposition from Mercury to Chiron. Jupiter also leaves Virgo for
Libra. We are working toward our second and final eclipse of the
season which occurs midday on Sept 16. So. While today is largely
subdued, this week ecliptic events churn and bubble in the cauldron.
Enjoy the subdued yet deep cool waters of today. Rest. Restore.
Listen astutely to what atmospheric nuance may be hinting toward and
muddle on through this week that is bound to increase in intensity as
we move forward becoming particularly punctuated under our First
Quarter Moon on Sept. 9th.
Tuesday, September 6, 2016
Today, we move from
yesterday's aspect free and pure Scorpio Moon to one which is quite
busy. This morning we try to wake up under a Moon/Neptune trine
perfecting at 5:56 AM. It's definitely watery which means potentially
emotional and wet. But, it is also deeply creative and dreamy.
Doesn't fit well within the confines of a corporate world. Yet it can
be rich and fertile. Intuitive. Sensitive. Sleep was likely deep and
comforting making it hard for us to pull ourselves out of the ethers
and back into the material world. But, assistance with grounding
oneself back into reality comes with a sextile form our Scorpio Moon
to the Virgo Sun which waxes in at 2:07 PM.
More Earth energy waxes in
through a sextile from the Moon in Scorpio to her modern ruler, Pluto
in Capricorn, at 3:03 PM. What this creates is a brief mini-trine
connected by the Moon giving hint to the waxing energy of the Sun in
Virgo in trine to Pluto in Capricorn coming to our skies overnight
(1:16 AM). So the energy is deep. Personalities come forth strongly
as do emotions. And, if you have been feeling under the weather
lately, there is a chance for energy restoration under this sky.
Black Moon Lilith is also
involved in this mini-trine. She sits at about 12 degrees Scorpio in
sextile to both Sun and Pluto as the Moon passes through. There is a
certain primordial push toward fierceness that can be either used for
self-empowerment and that ability to rightfully stand up for yourself
OR a strong desire toward vengeance and bloodshed (the lower more
visceral call of BML). A mild after affect of this is a very strong
hunger. Appetites are growling. There is a desire for transparency,
nakedness and, of course, freedom from oppression and a dictum that
places restriction upon us in the form of expectation or roles merely
due gender, race or what have you. What is begging to emerge here is
the raw personification of your highest and most powerful energies.
Use that instead of being used by it. Lilith is wild and she is
calling you to remember and use the wildness within yourself to be
untamed and brave against oppressive forces without allowing their
subservient techniques to steer us toward wasting our beautiful anger
on acts of vengeance and bloodshed which becomes merely a reflection
of the oppressive power to begin with. But, instead, to rise and
thrive over and above that making zero excuse for our innate
powerfulness and our right to use it.
The highest expression of
Sun trine Pluto is a survivalist mentality. Coming from the signs of
Virgo and Capricorn, this mixture comes with a deep connection to the
element of Earth. We take that survivalist nature and make it
responsible and practical. We are can be willing to roll our sleeves
up and get our hands dirty dealing with the matters of our lives both
internally and externally. The negative end of this swings toward
paranoia and being severely cutting or critical. Also, Pluto's nature
on the negative end can abuse power. Of course, the higher expression
packs endurance and fortitude. A sense of “can do” and personal
empowerment. There is also a strong sense of accountability and
self-control accessible here. But, do watch for snakes (those wily
slithering souls who wish to lure you with temptation or hypnotize
you into servitude). There is potential for the power of Pluto to be
used as both temptation and subservient persuasion throughout the
week...particularly as Venus waxes into square with him on the 11th.
There is also a chance for bereavement and memorial under this week's
sky and the Universal energy supports healthy exploration of both
these concepts as well as preparations made or partaking in harvest.
Keep your motivations and intentions above board and true and you can
use this energy to push you forward on your path. Resourcefulness. A
concern for the world at large and a deep desire to help or do your
part when you can will carry you quite far. When a sea of snakes
emerges use the energies of this sky to charm them instead of being
lured by their hissing false promises.

This morning, the Sun/Pluto
trine is still emitting power but waning as Venus in Libra is
grounded by a sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius (7:35 AM). This is
staring down the long and winding road and being willing to do the
work it takes to get what you want within a strong set of personal
values that is comfortable with a sense of delayed gratification.
What is worthy is earned not merely gifted. Venus in aspect to Saturn
realizes this. She is patient. Responsible. Accountable. All grown up
and willing to work together in an effort to establish a more sturdy
and reliable world structure. Negotiation wins out over argument.
Lean into trusted relationships which have proven their loyalty.
Blessing is achieved through integrity and honesty. We are strongly
nestled in a gentle sense of self-worth and reliability. We are
willing to do the work needed to get us where we want to go.
By 7:47 AM, our still active
Scorpio Moon trines Chiron in Pisces. We can feel the collective
hurt, addiction and mourning astutely. Then, by noon, the Scorpio
Moon begins dancing with Mercury Rx in Virgo who is inclined to
quietly contemplate how to prevent more hurt, illness and addiction
in the future as well as how to address that which is widely obvious
now. I'll give you a hint. The most effective cure begins on the
inside. Heal thyself, first.
Getting down to the nitty
gritty and assessing the most effective cures is again highlighted by
a Scorpio Moon sextile to Jupiter in Virgo at 8:44 PM. This, my
friends, is the LAST lunar aspect to Jupiter in Virgo that we will
have for the next, oh, 12 years or so. Jupiter enters Libra early on
the morning of the 9th. So, we are also called to
incorporate all the lessons Jupiter has taught us during her trek
through Virgo into our emotional/intuitive systems. We should have
learned practicality. Where we can best serve. How to appreciate the
small and the minute. How to find pleasure in the simple and mundane.
How to put ego behind us as week seek collective cures instead of
seeking blame. How to fix instead of lament over broken things. How
to be resourceful and mindful of the future harvest. Following this,
our Universal syllabus changes. We enter the schooling of Libra where
the higher lessons of Jupiter in Virgo are built upon. Did you pass
Virgo school? If not, there is a still a bit of time for review.
But...just a bit.
Following the sextile with
Jupiter, the Moon is Void until entering Sagittarius at 9:21 PM
(so...not even an hour in Void status).

Ah, what can be said about a
Sagittarius Moon these days? Other than it comes with a mixed bag of
pranks. Our Moon's ruler sits at the very end of Virgo preparing to
switch signs. If you'll remember, we had a conjunction of Mercury and
Venus upon this degree just previous to the New Moon Eclipse in Virgo
last week. That called for us to make assess priority quickly and
pushed out of routine momentarily. I expect the crossing of Jupiter
here to be no different. A challenge wrapped up in a final exam from
Virgo...most likely. So, keep the need for effective triage in the
back of your mind when/if the unexpected happens (which is likely
during eclipse season anyway...with or without Jupiter exiting
Virgo). Remember, look to the fix instead of searching for blame.
This morning, the
Sagittarius Moon is free from aspect but spends the day waxing into
the tight, TIGHT square between Saturn and Neptune. What is real?
What is solid? Have we fallen in quick sand? She meets “solid and
sober” Saturn by conjunction at 6:08 PM. Then, she is dissolved by
a square to Neptune at 6:21 PM. Reality and fantasy mix. We can feel
the Earth like shifting sands under our feet which means we should
make each step forward consciously while allowing the ways in which
we unwittingly usurp or block ourselves melt away. Sure, it is
uncertain. But, so is just about everything in it's early stages.
There is opportunity for molding and re-shaping here if you can work
between and with the elements of the real and unreal. Imaginary and
concrete. Yes, the highest expression of this energy comes by way of
bringing dreams to fruition. Yet, by square, the energy is harsh and
not exactly taken on by choice but forced upon us. Just remember, you
maintain the ability to direct your choices and dictate your own
perspective. Use that. Your ability to work within the uncertain and
maintain a sense of optimism within that uncertainty will be
challenged here.
The Moon does find comfort
and a bit of reprieve after she emerges from this metaphorically
creative clay or quick sand (depending upon your perspective) with a
sextile to lovely Venus in Libra at 9:55 PM. There is room for
relaxation and socialization here. There is opportunity to make a new
friend or lean into valued connections in our evening hours. The
atmosphere lightens just enough so that we can relax however we
choose.

Early this morning (7:19 AM)
Jupiter makes his big shift into Libra. How well do you know Libra?
We are about to find out. Blessed be the peacemakers. Yes. Also,
blessed be those well schooled in the art of negotiation, decorum and
compromise. Blessed by our friendships and trusted connections within
the outside world. We will learn through our relationships, benefit
from the ability to be fair and just, be blessed for our ability to
be polite and operate with a sense of social restraint. We will be
given opportunity to procrastinate which is divine timing in
disguise. We will learn that putting glitter on a turd is just
making a piece of shit shiny and not making it more valuable. We will
learn about the different masks we wear and why. We will hear of
unfairness and the lamenting of the same. We will learn that the
concept of “fairness” and “justice” differs from person to
person. We will learn the value of balance and enhance our ability to
stand in the shoe of the other for added perspective. We will learn
that sometimes the grass is greener on the other side of the fence
because it has been fertilized with a lot of bullshit. We will learn
the art of debate and benefit more by being accountable for our
actions and the impact of those upon others and upon our
relationships. We will learn we are not alone in this world and make
connections that will serve us wisely in our future. Relationships
already on fertile soil are poised to flourish and generosity will
certainly come into vogue. Even with all that said, there is much
more to learn from the sign of Libra. Both good and not so good.
Libra is, after all, a double edged sword. But, this is the Jupiter
we know more so than he was in Virgo. In Libra he is a a mixture of
Venus, the element of Air and himself...gentler, more accommodating,
seeking peace and pleasure more than wallow; but, indeed, there will
be challenges. Sometimes the weighing of the scales is a
dispassionate and dry affair. Right is right and SLICE goes the
sword. You wanted fair and here you go...like it or not...
Just as Jupiter enters Libra
we encounter the challenge of our First Quarter Moon (7:50 AM)
extending between the mutable signs of Sagittarius (Moon) and Virgo
(Sun) at 17 degrees mutable. A sense of balance comes in handy when
circumstance brings forth shifting. Realize where your life is
lopsided and even it out.
By midday (11:12 AM) the
Moon is in a motivational conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius. Keep
aiming for the high road and pace yourself. We are in the midst of
the marathon now and positioned to soon catch a second wind through a
waxing trine with Mars to Uranus. Hold true the course and keep
climbing. I know the top of the mountain seems very far away. But,
keep the view at the top in mind to help pull you forward. You can do
it.
Mercury Rx in Virgo crosses
sideways through the path of Uranus in Aries at 2:59 PM. Inspiration
or upset of routine are both possible. Meanwhile, the Moon squares
off with Chiron at 7:35 PM and Mercury at 8:27 PM creating a very
uncertain mutable t-square that finds outlet in the sign of Gemini.
You know nothing. Keep studying. Seek answers and solution from
deeply within because the medicine needed will vary from individual
to individual. Yes. Mercury is waxing into another standoff with
Chiron bringing the potential of damaging weather, sickness,
exacerbation of mental illness, influence of denial or addiction OR
the ability to deeply dig into our ability to cure ourselves and in
turn share our newly fostered coping mechanisms with the world. There
is no room for denial here. It calls for severe self-honesty and
there are many who are afraid of that. Don't be one of them.
Things do brighten
significantly following this mush up mutable t-square with a lunar
trine to Uranus at 8:52 PM. Yeah, don't be afraid to try something
new. Be willing to incorporate change into your life that will
broaden your horizons. Experiment with new coping mechanisms and free
yourself from being beholden to the box you or someone else normally
puts you in. Dare to be unique and proactive while also being
astutely aware of your personal triggers and how you deal with the
same being tripped.
Following the trine with
Uranus, the Moon is Void until entering Capricorn in the morning
(8:56 AM). Mercury officially opposes Chiron under the Void
Sagittarius Moon at 7:52 AM.

This morning the Moon wakes
up in Capricorn just before her current ruler is tossed into the sea.
Saturn squares off with Neptune at 9:01 AM. You had a plan this
morning. What happened? Hey? Where'd the road go? It seems to have
washed out or disappeared into the fog. Did I really just see that?
How is that even possible? Yeah. It's a lot like that. There is also
room for dreams (or nightmares) to manifest in reality. In your
hands. Solid. As foreboding as this aspect pattern has been it is
also malleable. Able to be used toward beneficial means. Create
something real. Use the powers of your imagination to build a
stronger foundation under your tomorrow. Pack empathy with you on
your journeys. Dream for a purpose. Pray for a cause. Dissolve and/or
take control of addictions and the ways in which you may unwittingly
block yourself. Face and dis-empower your fears. May your compassion
and empathy be boundaried by common sense and a sense of generous
leadership. Stop enabling. However, support for someone in rough seas
and enabling someone to walk out of denial/delusion or grief is
largely welcomed. Let your harsh edges be softened, though. Withered
by the softness and gentleness that somehow still manages to thrive
in a largely unkind world. Be the leader, the journeyman who can
guide with gentleness and strength instead of the one who leads
others astray or forces them into servitude. Look for veils of
transparency to open around matters of business, politics, education,
foreign affairs, world travel and events. Realize that
disillusionment means now you have the truth. You can use this.
Shortly following the
perfection of the Saturn/Neptune square, the Moon finds Jupiter in
Libra for the very first time in a long time...by square at 9:23 AM.
Industry (Capricorn Moon) meets what appears to be lackadaisical
(Jupiter in Libra). Be careful how you judge here. The highest use of
this square comes by way of something that looks like a boss who
calls in trusted advisors as council. Reaching to balance the scales
in a responsible and disciplined manner. Allowing yourself to see
things from the perspective of the other person. Not sneering down
your nose at others you perceive as not doing their part. Hell. You
could even...my gosh...RELAX a little under all this mush if you
wanted. Release (Neptune) responsibility (Saturn) and make a job
(Capricorn Moon) out of taking it a little easy and enjoying some
down time (Jupiter in Libra) if you tried. The soup is there. It's up
to you to stir it...you know, in between eclipses and stuff. In your
spare time. HA!
And, stir you should as the
soup in that pot is due to thicken through tonight and into tomorrow.
Pluto will have a thing or two to do with that. Rest assured.
Overnight, Venus is lured by Pluto via square at 3:44 AM. Desire runs
deep. Romantic skeletons fall out of the closet. Old loves rise from
the dead. Or, you know, you sneak into the kitchen and make a secret
midnight snack of out of the leftover Devil's Food cake. Giminy
Christmas first days of Libra School and already Venus is sneaking
out the window in the middle of the night to meet up with slim shady
ne'er do well. Tsk...tsk...what types of shameful pleasures do you
find yourself yearning for? What compromises to your integrity and
values are you willing to make to get them? Maybe we should all be
asking ourselves that tonight.
Sunday, September 11, 2016
Due the date, alone, today
will have memorials and remembrances in the United States. However,
through planetary energies, there will also be an inclination toward
this that encompasses the world for different reasons. Could be
personal reasons. Could be global reasons. But, there is a sense of
yearning and a stir of echoes that has permeated this week and met
with strong punctuation as Venus perfected in square to Pluto last
night. Within that, matters of relationship (beneficial or poor) were
highlighted. The people we care about. Our enemies. Those we interact
with in all areas. AND, all those who have passed by us by way of
relationship in the past be they dead or dismissed...loved or
despised. Accentuated in some shape or form. The point being, in all
of it, to learn. To learn justice. To learn fairness. To learn...and
this is the big one, cause and effect. As well as action and
consequence.
Today, we are more inclined
to mourn and lament what has been lost and in some cases, this will
cause a clinginess toward the things that remain. Almost like a
separation anxiety. In some cases, we may run into old lovers. Again.
We are learning FROM relationships past, presents and so forth. Keep
that in mind in any such encounter. What can you learn from the
relationship itself? About yourself?About how you interact with
others? About how you differentiate between friend and foe? And, how
that subsequently affects your world. It's not always that your soul
mate from another life is returning to you. Sometimes, it's something
completely different.
Our Capricorn Moon is
sensitive and perhaps a little emotional this morning as she wakes up
under sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Waking up is slow, most
certainly. By midday, our Capricorn Moon is fully awake and empowered
through a conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn (1:37 PM) while also
subsequently squaring Venus in Libra (2:41 PM). Here, there be a pit
of slithering snakes. In such instance, be the wise snake charmer.
By 10:37 PM the Moon dances
lightly with the Sun in Virgo by trine. The ground under our feet
solidifies. A hearty harvest brings forth a bountiful meal. The
efforts of true and earnest labor pay off and with clear conscience
we lay our heads down for a solid nights rest. And, might I suggest
going to bed with the chickens because they will be clucking to wake
you up early in the morning as our Capricorn Moon squares off with
Uranus at 6:01 AM. Indeed. Lean into the accessible grounding of the
Earth energy tonight. You are going to need it in the morning.
