Ok. Before we ever even get
started here, let me advise you up front that this is a highly
emotional week. We are building toward a Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces.
The lead in to this and the previous eclipse has been obvious. These
are LUNAR events...so the yes, the impact is emotional and watery.
Emotions intensify at nearly every Full Moon; because...that's what a
Full Moon does, in part. But, there is also more.
Our other personal planets
are also quite busy. Mercury will square Mars and conjunct the Sun.
Mars will square Chiron and trine Uranus. Venus will meet Chiron by
inconjunct and oppose Uranus. All while the Full Moon conjuncts
Chiron and squares Mars and Pholus who are each centered right in
front of a black hole while Jupiter shines his spotlight into another
one. So, yes. Emotional and bearing personal impact on many levels.
It will be hard at times to maintain your bearings. It is not likely
to be what I'd call a “smooth” week. Achieving balance, however,
is key. We are new students in the School of Libra..an important
point to remember as we move forward.
This morning we wake up to
the Moon in Capricorn leaving a sextile with Chiron (4:44 AM) and
bumping into Uranus by square (6:01 AM). By this afternoon (2:59 PM),
Mercury Rx in Virgo is square to Mars in Sagittarius. The Moon is
Void by then, following her square with Uranus. She reactivates in
Aquarius at 5:29 PM and meets Jupiter in a nice trine shortly
thereafter.
This morning will likely be
unsettled. Allot extra time for whatever you have planned in an
effort to accommodate the unexpected. Moon square Uranus may catalyze
you into being impulsive, anxious or reactive. The main thing here is
not to get excited. Rise above and take the time you need to respond
intelligently instead of just letting the knee-jerk reaction take
over. Cutting down on stimulants (caffeine/sugar) and veering away
from becoming overly mentally stimulated (cutting down on TV, phone,
Internet usage in an attempt to maintain a sense of grounding) will
greatly help.
Mercury square Mars can be
accident prone. Trying to do too much too quickly is the downfall
here. We are dealing with the signs of Virgo and Sagittarius. Mars in
Sagittarius is ready to move forward. He is revving his engine
preparing for his trine with Uranus so he can GO! But, Mercury in
Virgo needs to make sure all the plans are in order. The itinerary is
reviewed. The bags are checked to make sure all essentials are
packed. So, before you take off running, review your checklist and
make sure you have crossed off everything. Before you act, check what
the required action is on your priority list and take your time in an
effort to be mindful of the details. Don't allow yourself to be
rushed even when there are circumstances pushing you to feel as if
you need to. RELAX AND TAKE YOUR TIME.
Though, admittedly, relaxing
into what you need to do will take effort in and of itself because
the brain will likely be racing from one thing to the next. So, step
one in this day involves aiming to remain grounded and deliberately
making yourself slow down while remaining mindful of the follow-through.
When the Moon reactivates in
Aquarius in our evening hours, the atmosphere lightens and becomes a
bit windy. Social activities and debate/discussion is highlighted. We
may not actually DO much; but, there sure is a lot of talking about
doing it that occurs here. It's a good night to chat with friends or
collaborate over social issues. Everyone has an opinion and those
opinions are likely to be aired out tonight. Remember the condition
of Mercury, though. He is retrograde so there is room for
misunderstanding. Ask for clarification when in doubt. Also, in
Virgo, he aims for the discussions to be useful and provide solution
eventually. He is also square Mars, so, some of these discussions
(particularly those that involve Sagittarius themes...politics,
religion, sports, law) could, in fact, become heated. Go figure. But, with this
Air Trine mostly what we should be doing is just bringing everything to the
table to air it out. We aren't exactly acting just yet...though some
may feel as if they need to in an effort to defend their point. I
encourage you to take the time to do the essential airing first so
you can assess the whole picture before making any decision to act.
Yes. Put it off and just talk about it for now...Jupiter is in Libra,
yes? So, also be mindful of your manners in discussion and leave room
for everyone to make their point. A little sense of decorum within
the art of the debate can go a long way.
At 7:41 PM Mercury in Virgo
is conjunct the Sun. Yes, there could be headaches and strong
attachment to one's opinion or point of view here along with a
tendency to be critical. Keep your mind set on being of service to
whatever cause you are debating instead of being worried that your
point is the best and only point. SHARE THE PODIUM AND TAKE YOUR TURN
AT LISTENING. If what you have to say doesn't serve to help the
situation, shut up. For the most part, though, many of us will merely
be scrambling in an effort to keep up with the day; because, there is
an underlying feeling of things being sped up or rushed here.

This morning the Moon is
still in analytical mode as she continues her passage through the
sign of Aquarius. She is (blessedly) given a chance to be grounded,
settled and stabilized a bit through a sextile with Saturn in
Sagittarius at 12:31 PM. Meanwhile, the mutable mess continues as the
Sun in Virgo squares off with Mars in Sagittarius at 4:39 PM.
The Sun in Virgo may be
concerned that Mars in Sagittarius is trying to take off too quickly.
Mars here is not exactly patient and, sometimes, has a tendency to
bite off more than it can realistically chew. Plus, it can be rather
aggrandized and overly aggressive. What you want to aim for is
employing your truth, practicing what you preach, taking one step at
a time on the journey ahead and acting with a sense of generosity and
inclusion rather than acting self-righteously or in an overly pious
or critical manner. Doesn't mean others will be mindful of it. But,
it doesn't mean you should. Also, we may see conflict between
aggressive governing/policing factions and those that are concerned
with Virgo matters such as conservation, Earth care and matters of
health and public welfare. Compromise and negotiation is needed
between these two factions and the ruler of one of the instigators
here (Mars in Sagittarius) is in Libra. Use it. Be fair. Hear all
sides of the story and don't deliver a ruling until you assess the
entirety of the argument. In the end, ensure that you act fairly and
justly while aiming for a common ground decision. Brute force is only
going to perpetuate the conflict and repeat old patterns of behavior
that have outlived their effectiveness. It's more about doing the
right thing for all involved rather than veering toward the
self-righteous thing. Dig deep for patience and aim for the follow
through while pacing yourself for the long haul and keeping the
“bigger picture” in mind.
Overnight, the Aquarius Moon
snuggles (mmm...does Aquarius Moon snuggle?) up with her buddy Venus
in Libra. It's comfortable...and breezy. We may see some early fall
leaves blowing across the lawn. It may be a night in which we can
turn the AC off and enjoy fresh cool air coming in through the
windows as we sleep. Or, it's just good for some light socialization
or entertainment. There's a break to be had coming from now and
extending through tomorrow. The path clears and opens up for a
moment. Take advantage of that if you can.

This morning, the breeziness
continues with a lunar sextiles to both Mars in Sagittarius (8:24 AM)
and Uranus in Aries (11:32 AM). In between the increased activity and
“buzzy-ness” of this, the Moon passes by the Sun by way of an
inconjunct (8:51 AM). The two don't exactly see eye to eye. The Sun
in Virgo is concerned with production and task completion while the
Moon is inclined to want light and breezy. A “no worries” Moon
versus a “bucket full of worries” Sun. Do your work but remember
to have fun and leave room/time for physical movement and enjoyment.
Don't worry. Just do. The wind really is at your back for this today.
Following the sextile with
Uranus, the Moon is Void until entering Pisces at 10:23 PM tonight.
Just in time for bed. So, wear yourself out during the day. It will
likely click by rather quickly.

This morning, we struggle to
wake up under a Moon in Pisces as the sun in Virgo locks into
opposition with Chiron in Pisces. There could be literal illness
linked with this opposition. Upset stomachs. Sore throats. A general
feeling of malaise. We are not likely to be as motivated as were
yesterday morning for one reason or another. We may also hear quite a
bit of environmental matters throughout the meat of this week due the
activity coming toward Chiron in Pisces. Virgo Sun remains concerned
and sickened by these issues and Jupiter in Libra is encouraging
discussion. But, there are large problems in this arena that will not
be solved overnight. Today, we may not feel much like dealing with
any of them. Some will seek withdraw and isolation. Some will look to
escape their worries. Some may seek to numb out or blur out the
sickness by way of denial or escape into addictions. It's ecliptic.
It's blurry. Dizzying. Perhaps accompanied with a sense of de ja vous
or vertigo. And, it does carry the strong stench of sickness and
infirmary with it. Be gentle. If you feel like you are slipping into
another dimension or feel as if you are being sucked up by a black
hole...that's normal. LOL! Enjoy the “trip.”
The day dream and descent
into some type of uncertain madness continues as the Moon is engulfed
by Neptune in our early afternoon (3:46 PM). Hey, it's five o'clock
somewhere, right? And, it's never too late for nap thirty. Yes, the
tides rise here. Folks are sensitive. Sick. Tired. And, maybe even
drunk. Some relief is incoming...keep floating.
At 4:26 PM we wash ashore or
meet head to head with reality and ground as the Moon squares off
with Saturn. Then, by 11:35 PM the emotional body is restored and
re-empowered with a grounding and supportive sextile to Pluto in
Capricorn. The truth is harsh; but, we find the power to deal with
it. Quietly. And, likely, alone. Letting tears singe our cheeks.
At 11:54 PM, Mars squares
off with Chiron. Triggers are tripped and we are likely to overreact.
I mean, we've been a confused emotional wreck most of the day. This
represents the straw that could very well break that camels back. Big
Fat Full Moon Eclipse coming in? Yes. We are emotional. We are
reactive. Some folks will pop loose at the seams here. Don't be one
of them.
My advice is to isolate
yourself for the day. Listen more than you speak. Rest and take care
of any illnesses. Instead of trying to fight your way through the day
sick, surrender, give in and sleep it off. You cannot fist fight
Neptune. OK? He will just keep pummeling you with waves until he
wins. Let go. Heal you. Surrender. Fighting and pushing under this
sky is futile.
Overnight the mind stirs as
the Moon opposes Mercury Rx in Virgo. The dreamscape is busy. And,
tomorrow, we could very well have that “emotional hangover” feel
to wake up to.

This morning we wake up to
the Moon still in Pisces. Yes. We could still feel blurry, confused,
emotional, sick or groggy. Trippy and dreamy, even. By midday, the
Moon is conjunct Chiron. Shortly after, she finds Mars in Sagittarius
by square (1:17 PM). Ambiguous. Confused. Which way did he go,
George? Did anyone get the license plate number of that bus? Topped
with aching and sick. Deluded and twisted. The pissed off loud and
potentially gregarious drunk. We are poised to over-react, here.
Startled to wakefulness and none too happy about it. Easy now. Scale
back perspective. Try not to blow things out of proportion. Slow
down. All this is coming quickly to a head...your cup isn't running
over, it's boiling over. Bad news if you are a lobster.
At 3:06 PM our Full Moon
Eclipse in Pisces pops like a cork from a shaken bottle of champagne.
Emotions come gushing out. We are forced to surrender by Neptune. We
collapse in exhaustion. As the confessionals and tearful recounts of
ecliptic events unfolds, many of will likely be asking, “What the
hell just happened” as the Moon flickers Void. As she does.
Immediately following this until entering Aries at midnight. There is
a huge release here. Your best bet is to go with the flow and let it
go. Let it wash away. Let the release happen. Don't try to control
it. Don't try to fight it. We will begin picking up the scattered
pieces on the beach when the storm is over. Shelter in place, for
now. Tomorrow is a completely new day.

Today, I believe things will
begin to get more clear. We wake up to the Moon in Aries while Mars
is officially in trine to Uranus (3:04 AM). We are, at least,
beginning to dry out. Physical energy returns. The fog lifts.
The Moon is leaving an
opposition with Jupiter in Libra. Yeah. Bet that went well. A warrior
(Aries Moon) always wants to get a lecture about how to be polite
(Jupiter in Libra) right before he rushes off to war. You want to
initiate and be assertive. Jupiter in Libra can cue you into what the
opposition may be up to or make you aware of the impact of your
actions. Balance this out.
By 5:55 PM we are leaving
dust clouds behind us as we grab traction with a lunar trine to
Saturn in Sagittarius. Keep going! Keep going!
At midnight, the Moon meets
with potential power struggles and temptations wrapped in illusions
of power as she squares off with Pluto. You can also use this as a
strong sense of forbearance, accountability and emotional fortitude
if you give it a shot. Endurance is the best use...not trying to run
over folks.
Overnight, Venus is hanging
out in opposition to Uranus in Aries. Some relationships may topple
over unexpectedly. The potential of that has been compounded by the
eclipse. Either way, we are inclined to unusual tastes and definitely
do not want to be owned by our possessions. Venus wants to negotiate.
Uranus wants to rebel. The higher expression of each says WORK
TOGETHER TOWARD A COMMON CAUSE OR AGAINST A COMMON ENEMY. Release
your attachment to the material. Raise your standards. Cut your
losses. Free yourself from finding your self worth in the opinions of
others. Release yourself from trying to be overly accommodating. You
cannot please all of the people all of the time.
And these points get driven
home all...day...long...tomorrow. Flaming sword battle, anyone? The best way to work this? And, yeah, before Jupiter exits Libra you will be exhausted with hearing this; but, balance it out. Pull out your scales and see where they are lopsided. Are you too aggressive and rude? Throw some Venus on it. Are you too accommodating and don't know how to say "no" throw the flames of Moon/Uranus in Aries in there. You get to be the judge here.

We are pretty “electrified”
this morning as Venus lingers in opposition to Uranus in Aries. The
Moon charges into this equation via way of conjunction to Uranus and
opposition to Venus in our early afternoon. Relationships experience
trials by fire. We yearn for change. We yearn for freedom. We yearn
to just be who we are without all the expectations and shit, man.
Yes. This can be volatile.
However. It can also
be...yes...balanced. Retain your sense of independence but realize we
are all in fact connected. Fighting should be a last resort not the
first one. Don't assume. Don't mirror. Work together and attempt to
get along. Everyone is fighting a battle of some type. Allow room for
others to be different. The more self-accepting you become, the more
easily you can accept that world's population is made up of a rich
and diverse fabric. Opt for peace over conflict. We are more alike
than we are unalike.
Our little red sports car
speeds along, though. The Moon meets up with Mars in Sagittarius by
trine at 4:11 PM. You know, it is a good day for a zippy Sunday
drive. Check your cares at the door, gather some friends and take off
for some wind therapy. Let the wind tangle your hair and blow away
the dried up dust that has become of last weeks flooding.
Following the trine with
Mars, the Moon is Void until entering Taurus (Moo!) at midnight.
Maybe zip by the grocery store while you are out and about.
