Well. Today looks right
lovely. Yes. You read that right. I said LOVELY. Seems weird to read,
I'm sure. It definitely seems weird to write. But, yes, it looks
really nice.
This morning we wake up to
the Moon in calm and settled Taurus. Then, as the Sun rises, Venus in
Libra dances with Mars in Sagittarius by sextile. Later tonight, the
Moon sextiles Neptune (5:26 PM). Even deeper into our overnight hours
she will trine Pluto (1:11 AM).
What we end up with here is
a nice gentle mix of different flavors of Venus. Venus in Libra is
our air Venus. Diplomatic. Negotiating. Gentle. Moon in Taurus is
ruled by Venus but finds more of a grounded Earthy approach by way of
this sign. Then, of course, Neptune is the higher vibration of any
face of Venus.
We also have diplomatic
Venus working with truth and freedom seeking Mars in
Sagittarius...who is a little more settled now that he is past his
itchy but progressive trine with Uranus. This sounds a lot like
“Truth and Justice for All” to me. We can see this play out
through more aggressive foreign entities coming to the negotiating
table. We can see diplomacy brought to over-reaching executive and
legal acts. But, in our personal lives what it means is we are
inclined to be fair in our efforts to defend (Mars) our truths
(Sagittarius) while making peace with our enemies. Gosh. All that
sound nice. It brings grace. It brings room to breathe. It brings
opportunity to make peace by way of negotiation and diplomacy. Either
way you look at it, Mars is subdued and gentled while Venus is
empowered with a bit of ambition. It's literally, also, a good aspect
for dancing. Particularly if that dancing is spiritually or
religiously inclined. Yes, some folks dance when they pray. Some
folks use dance as a way to raise their energetic vibration so that
when they pray their words contain more passion. But,if you are just
dancing for dancing's sake this energy is ripe for that too. It's
smooth and graceful. And, we could use some of that to soften the
more harsh edges of the world. Don't you think?
Subsequently, Neptune
softens our prone to be stubborn Taurus Moon. Makes dinner time a
nice opportunity for a glass of wine. Music soothes the savage beast
and dancing is much more fun when surrounded by others who are
willing to dance with you. It would be a great evening to go to the
opera or watch a live theater show. I'm not sure if Dancing with the
Stars is on tonight or not, but if it is, it's also a great night to
indulge in something like that. Music. Love. Comfort. Graceful
movement and entertainment. However you want to mix it.
Overall, today is graceful,
charming, kind, patient and invites you to the dinner table in an
effort of inclusion. And...it's Monday? Since when is Monday nice?
Rarely. Enjoy this phenom. It can feel like balm for a weary soul.
Overnight, there is
something interesting that occurs. The Moon creates a Grand Earth
Trine with Mercury in Virgo (1:32 AM) and Pluto in Capricorn (1:11
AM). This week, Mercury will trine Pluto for a 2nd and 3rd
time. The third pass coming, of course, after he turns direct (OH
YEAH! Mercury turns direct this week!) on the 22nd.
Tonight's lunar passage through this waxing trine brings a great deal
of practical and responsible energy with it. The brain heals and
regenerates as we sleep. Thoughts that no longer serve us are purged
and reformed. Though, admittedly, yes, there is room for nightmares
here. But, moreover, we are inclined to use a little common sense as
we dig deeply for the facts. Mercury and Pluto officially meet by
trine for the second time tomorrow night. The third pass comes in the
early morning hours of the 23rd as the Moon hangs in Void
status...a few minutes prior to entering Cancer. We are really
inclined to get to the bottom of stuff this week. Gathering facts.
Having deep conversations. There is chance for memorial and
processing of grief. Mercury/Pluto doesn't just look at or discuss
the pretty stuff. Plus, a lot of this occurs on a personal level.
Mercury/Pluto also doesn't go airing it's laundry for everyone to
see. No. These deep conversations come between folks who have
developed trust and in the confines of intimacy. So, it's not
chattery. But, it is deep...introspective for the most part
especially during the 2nd pass while Mercury is still
retrograde. Folks do have a lot of questions, too. “Why” being
the most common lead in word. Words are used with purpose and contain
a beefed up sense of power none of which should be used for
over-thinking or making things too complicated. This is EARTH so keep
it simple and useful. We could, in fact, come up with better
solutions than we had to long standing problems here. I do encourage
you, though, to mind your manners and adhere to the rules of decorum
as Mercury/Pluto is prone to cursing like a sailor and that isn't
going to sit very well with Jupiter or Venus in Libra. Your best bet
is to fucking be nice! HA! But, seriously...
We do have a few hiccups in
our week to come. However, for the most part, it is a cake walk
compared to what we've had.

This
morning the Moon is still in Taurus. She makes only one “major”
aspect, a sextile to Chiron at 1:50 PM. Later tonight, Mercury passes
by Pluto, officially, for the 2nd time at 9:49 PM EDT.
Thoughts
and conversations run deep. But, hearts are gentle. It is largely a
subdued day with lots going on in the mental body that folks probably
aren't ready to talk about openly just yet. They are still trying to
figure it out for themselves first. Enjoy the passiveness and quiet
humdrum of the day. Let your mind do what it does but treat the rest
of you gently. Feel free to indulge a little and treat yourself
however you see fit.
Late
tonight (11:33 PM) the Moon trines the Sun in the last degrees of
Virgo prior to going Void. Bellies are full. We feel better. If we
can keep our thoughts from turning dark and or paranoid under
Mercury/Pluto, then, there is a good chance we rest rather well. It's
better to purge the negative tendencies of a paranoid/poisoned mind
than to entertain them. The Moon remains Void until entering Gemini
at 1:54 AM.

This morning we wake up refreshed as we
start the day with a trine from the Gemini Moon to Jupiter in Libra.
Folks are more inclined to talk about how they feel today moreso than
they have earlier in the week. Gemini Moon likes to talk it out.
Jupiter in Libra encourages her to give her trusted friends a call.
The morning and early afternoon hours are quite light and airy.
Tonight, though, is when we meet with
one of those hiccups I discussed earlier. We are struck by empathy,
sensitivity and emotional confusion as the Moon squares Neptune at
6:43 PM. Then, at 8:14 PM our butterfly Moon opposes jolly old Saturn
(Ha...jolly old Saturn). The power of Saturn square Neptune is,
thankfully, fading. However, here, the Moon re-links the energy and
we have the potential for a mudslide. A potential avalanche of
emotions. Rebound instances of illness. Confusion. Depression, etc.
The fix? Virgo. Be your own best nursemaid. Look for the fix not the
blame. Be compassionate, humble and responsible while also being
willing to weigh all your options. If you feel too much Neptune,
shore up your boundaries with Saturn. If you feel pressured to
perform, depressed or oppressed, soften yourself with an infusion of
Neptune (music, emotional release, naps or going to bed early,
compassion and, yes, maybe even a glass of wine). Be generous. Be
inclusive. Take time alone, though, if you need it to recharge. And,
don't be too disappointed if it feels like you might have to back up
and try running back up a the slippery slope you just slid down. Lay
your ambitions down for the night, though. We've got time to give
that mountain another shot in our future. We don't have to tackle it
today. We may have to deal with a bit of disappointment in regard to
it though. And, some may be inclined to question who they've lent
their trust to in recent past. It's ok. Sleep on it for now.
This is also a good time for Mercury to
go haywire for a bit. He is stationing to turn direct at 1:21 AM
tonight. So, while he is wobbling around, give your electronics a
break for a bit. Know that we could see some severe weather by way of
storms with high winds too. Best to just shelter in place for the
night, regardless whether you are dealing with internal storms or
those that manifest in the skies. Mercury will settle back down soon.
Be patient while giving him time to do so. In fact, Mercury trining
Pluto twice and stationing direct could bring the potential for
severe or unsettled weather off and on throughout this week. But,
today, the potential is particularly high. The Moon does square
Mercury, too, shortly after he turns direct which can point toward
headaches and arthritic pain...especially if you are sensitive to
changes in barometric pressure changes (ie: sinus pressure issues).
In that regard, a storm could very well bring some relief, here.

This morning, the Moon is
still in Gemini. Her wings are still a little damp and sensitive. It
is the first day of Autumn. The equinox. A transitional time and the
Sun officially enters Libra at 10:22 AM. For today, we have a
stellium in Libra with Sun, Jupiter and Venus. However, Venus isn't
going to stick around long. She exits Libra for the deep waters of
Scorpio tomorrow. But, for today, we've got plenty of Libra and it's
official. Summer is over. This weekend, it's time to pull out the
Halloween decorations with Venus in Scorpio. Yes. Let the
celebrations begin! Well, I've started already. Halloween is my
FAVORITE holiday and I've already eaten 3 bags of Halloween candy.
So, I encourage you to catch up!
Following her square with
Chiron, the Moon (and mood) has a chance to lighten up considerably.
She meets Uranus by sextile at 5:12 PM. This allows room or
collaboration and discussion. Opens the door for trying new things
and certainly helps to dry out our butterfly wings.
The Moon does oppose Mars in
Sagittarius (11:54 PM) which can cause some ambiguity but...tis Libra
season, now. So, waffling over decision making is kinda in vogue. The
best bet here is to err on the side of wisdom. Adhere to following
what you know is true and don't try to over-reach. Be mindful of how
your actions may or may not impact your future and reach for
knowledge. Finally, at 3:58 PM, our Gemini Moon dances with her
friend, Venus in Libra. It's light and airy. It's also quite
comfortable. The Moon reaches Void status here and Venus holds her
trine with the Moon as each dive into water signs. The Moon enters
Cancer at 4:34 AM, following Mercury's 3rd and final trine
with Pluto at 4:29 AM. Venus enters Scorpio tomorrow at 10:51 AM.
The answer to most of
today's questions is to be nice. Be fair. Clear the air. Open the
windows.

This morning we wake up to
our Last Quarter Moon as the Moon in Cancer squares off with the Sun
newly in Libra. You know, of all the friction between Cardinal signs,
I think Cancer vs Libra is probably the easiest to manage. It's still
friction, though. Watery, emotional and fickle friction at times. A
conflict between home and relationship. It can be smoothed over. Your
family may not agree with who you have chosen as your lover. They may
not like who you hang around with. Or, vice versa. But, you know
what? There is common ground to be found. You are the fulcrum on both
sides. You can negotiate between family and friends. You can help
them to smooth things over and help each realize you have room to
love them both. These types of negotiations are highlighted as the
Moon subsequently squares Jupiter in Libra at 9:49 AM. Yes, emotions
come to the negotiating table and emotions are not always logical the
way Jupiter in Libra prefers. But, they bear importance and need to
be considered. To you, that may just be a piece of land. But, to
someone else it may be sacred. This sky is also ripe for custody
battles. If you don't want your child split in exact halves, it might
be a good idea to reach a workable compromise here. Take the
emotional state and feelings of others into consideration before you
start swinging your sword calling out what is fair and/or unfair
because it differs from person to person and we should ALL have equal
say. It is a bit of a battle between Queens. The Queen of Swords and
the Queen of Cups to be precise.
Last Quarter Moon call for a
flushing out of emotions. We aired things out under the Gemini Moon.
Now it's time to talk about how we feel and let more stagnant
emotions flow away. Releasing and purging them. Forgiving and making
peace/amends where we can. Moving on, either way.
Cravings deepen and
relationships steeped in intimacy rise in importance as Venus moves
into Scorpio at 10:51 AM. Why, yes, you can negotiate over a deep
dark chocolate pie. Why not? But, there is caution here. Venus can
become quite paranoid and obsessive in Scorpio. That would be the
lower expression. The higher expression has us pouring our heart all
in ventures that feed us back as much, if not more, than what we pour
in. If you love it dearly and it loves you back, invest in it. If you
love it dearly and it wants you not, cut it loose. Let it go. Invest
in something more worthy. Because, you are worth more than
nonreciprocating love. Yes, yes, you are.
We are pretty sleepy as
night rises. The Moon trines Neptune at 10:07 PM. Tides rise. We are
emotional and more sensitive than usual. And, here's a thing for you,
we are intuitive as all get out. The main thing is not to allow those
intuitive hits to push you into paranoia or being clingy out of fear.
Observe the signals the synchronicity, dreams and intuition bring to
you. But, make no final judgments just yet. Observe while you allow
the emotional waves to wash over you and back again.

This morning, it is highly
likely we wake up to our bellies growling. Yearning and a need to be
fulfilled permeates the atmosphere as the Moon in Cancer opposes
Pluto in Capricorn. Yes, there is room for emotional manipulation
here. Yes, there is room for power struggles. But, can't we just
indulge in donuts instead? Or a nice hearty breakfast however you
like it? There is a chance of paranoia here. Appease your churning
belly instead of allowing that black pit of pointlessness to eat you.
However, if you need to defend the home front, know the energy will
be there to do so. Circle the wagons for protection then, once that's
in place bake a pie or something. Or, you could sleep late, block out
the outside world and indulge in carnal pleasures. That fits nicely
here too. The Moon finds Mercury by sextile at 7:16 AM which is good
for early morning pillow talk and, also, for planning out the rest of
your Saturday.
We have a mostly subdued sky
in the meat of the day. Ripe for tying up loose ends or just tidying
up in general. Tonight, though, Uranus imbues the gentle Cancer Moon
with uncertainty. The two meet by square at 9:43 PM. While this
aspect can breed anxiety, it can also give us the power to finally
let some things go. Cut ties. Release the need to control or
overpower. Open up options that allows us to see things from a
different perspective and it gives us permission to do things a
differently. It allows us to take a few steps back from the more
swamping emotions and bring some logic and concern for social welfare
to the table. But, make no mistake, it is not comfortable. But, it
may just bring the “push” we need to finally get over or release
our grip on some otherwise overly swamping emotional things, if we
allow it. Following the square with Uranus, the Moon is Void until
entering Leo at 9:49 AM. Whatever it is, let it go tonight. Get some
rest, if you can. And, be ready for playtime tomorrow!
Sunday, September 25, 2016
This morning the Moon enters
Leo at 9:49 AM. We are ready for pleasure and entertainment. The only
catch? She squares off with Venus in Scorpio at 2:37 PM. Hey, a
little romance and snake charming can go a very long way here. Taking
time out from fun for secret carnal pleasures fits here. What? Sex in
the afternoon? While the Sun is out and stuff? Venus in Scorpio
smiles...why not?
Of course there is the
matter of negative end of this. Selfish behavior using subservient
manipulations to get what it wants. Like? Someone taking advantage of
a naïve person...maybe even a child. I don't like that potential at
all. So, be guarded but definitely lean into those relationships that
have proven themselves to be trust worthy. You can also take a light
and amicable friendship to “the next level” here. In other words,
commitments can be made here and sometimes there is a little anxiety
wrapped up in doing so. But, if it's found to be worthy, fear not
investing in it.
Meanwhile, at 3:35 PM our
playful Leo Moon dances amicably with our Sun in Libra. That horny
undertone of Venus in Scorpio could have us acting quite flirty.
Nothing wrong with that as long as you really mean it. No need
flirting with disaster or using sexual persuasion in a way that nabs
you brand new stalker. Make sure you direct your flirty behavior in a
safe direction. Devoted relationships soar and deepen under this sky.
Where relationships that are fostered on false pretense will have a
tendency to crumble.
The Moon gets more Libra
action as she sextiles Jupiter in Libra (4:15). Keep walking away
from the pits. Keep dancing into the Sun. This is nice, amicable,
fair and entertaining. Fits well with a talent show even. Oh yes,
Libra adores a talent show and so does Leo especially if she gets to
be one of the acts. The “show” could very well last long into the
night as the Sun in Libra officially conjuncts Jupiter at 3:00 AM.
It's a bright, airy, active and entertaining evening. I suggest you
enjoy (Jupiter) the absolute fuck (Venus in Scorpio) out of that.
It's about damn time we were able to. Don't you think?
