Early this morning (2:09 AM
EDT), the Moon in Taurus found Neptune in Pisces by sextile. This
pushes us into deep slumber overnight and illustrates this time with
vivid dreamscapes. By 8:40 AM, deep rest has paid off as the Moon
trines Mars in Capricorn. This motivational push allows us to “get
into” the grit of the work ahead of us. Production and diligent
adherence to matters of integrity and responsibility are highlighted.
There is no fluff here. It is the pure call to get your hands dirty
in the business you have ahead of you.
This sentiment is emphasized
as the Moon also finds Pluto in Capricorn by trine at 10:47 AM. There
is much to be done. Today offers us the opportunity to make great
strides of progress especially in regard to laborious work. What
supplements the mood is to be able to bring completion to something.
The sweat of your brow following a hard days work is just reward.
Plus, being able to see your own progress within the day will
stabilize your mood and cause you to feel fairly good about yourself.
But, it is all Earth. So, what you need to caution yourself against
is making tasks too complicated. While the interaction with Pluto
will allow us to assess detail work, it is important to be remain
realistic in our expectations of ourselves and our abilities to
produce and to incorporate common sense. Mercury in Libra will
struggle with this at first as it tries to decide which task to
undertake first. However, once that challenge is met, the steadfast
energy of this morning can support you in just about any “down to
Earth” undertaking.
The trine to Pluto from the
Taurus Moon will make your belly growl, though. Be sure to eat energy
sustaining foods rather than opt for sugary or caffeinated as these
products will not give you the support you need to sustain energy
levels for production throughout the day. So, start the morning off
right with an empowering stick to your ribs breakfast and plan to
follow through with energy sustaining meals at lunchtime.
By 9:03 PM, our muscles
likely ache with fatigue and we are ready to lay our plows down for
the night as the Moon in Taurus meets Chiron in Pisces by sextile.
Here, we rest and recover as the Moon reaches Void status until
entering Gemini tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, our hearts and
priorities switch gears as Venus leaves the deep encompassing waters
of Scorpio and leaps into the celebratory fires of Sagittarius at
3:01 AM. This movement of Venus does lighten things considerably on a
few levels. However, we are soon to leave Libra season for the depths
of Scorpio season and Mars remains waxing toward a conjunction with
Pluto due to perfect on the 19th. This means that even
with the added “lightness” of Venus in Sagittarius, there is
still plenty brewing under the surface and many a deep matter still
up for consideration.
Here is the itinerary for
Venus' journey through the sign of Sagittarius (it is a quick trip!):
*Venus square Neptune
October 25 at 9:55 PM at 9 Sagittarius/Pisces 25 with the Moon in
Virgo filling in a mutable t-square
*Venus sextile Jupiter
October 26 at 11:20 AM 10 Sagittarius/Libra 05
*Venus conjunct Saturn
October 29 at 8:46 PM at 14 Sagittarius 11
*Venus square Chiron on
November 4 at 12:38 PM at 21 Sagittarius/Pisces 00
*Venus trine Uranus on
November 5 at 2:24 AM at 21 Sagittarius/Aries 41
*Venus enters Capricorn on
November 11th at 11:55 PM

Happy birthday to me, happy
birthday to me, happy birthday dear ME...happy birthday to me! Oh,
sorry. I got distracted for a minute.
This morning we wake up to a
Void Moon in Taurus. She remains void until entering the sign of
Gemini at 10:31 AM. Her first aspect comes by way of opposition to
Venus newly in Sagittarius at 11:10 AM. There is a balancing of want
and need that has to occur here. Otherwise, an opposition with Venus
is not a huge ordeal. The rest of the day, the Moon moves toward our
bigger players in the sky. She perfects in trine to Jupiter just
after midnight and then squares off with Neptune at 1:48 AM.
The Moon in trine to Jupiter
is not so bad. It is windy, though. Chatty and socially inclined.
That mixed with an incoming aspect to Neptune could be exhausting in
and of itself. Or we could be dipping into the vat of wine in our
social drinking a little too much too quickly and be spent. There is
also a chance for whipping conversations (trine Jupiter) to stir up
quite an emotional deluge (square Neptune). And, of course, there is
always the chance of a fish tale or two so be sure the information
you are tossing about in your social conversations is checked for
fact.
The best use of this, I
feel, is to become adherent to the truth and then lay your brain down
for a good night's rest. You are going to need it. We wake up to a
powerful conjunction from Mars to Pluto in the morning. You don't
want to have to greet that hungover in anyway. Nope. Morning calls
for us to be at the top of our game, for sure.
As this aspect (Mars/Pluto)
waxes in overnight, there could be dangerous plots underfoot. Be sure
to take proper safety precautions in light of that. We could wake up
to a few murderous or bloody headlines in the morning, as well. As a
matter of fact, as the waxing energy of this conjunction builds, we
may see some of those headlines in our news of today. Maybe that's
what we we are wagging our tongues and crying about as the Moon meets
Jupiter and then Neptune. Either way, please be careful and alert out
there. This is not a cuddly gentle energy...AT ALL. As a matter of
fact, it can be very vicious and lethal. It can also denote the power
of the Phoenix, though, packing an opportunity to metaphorically rise
from the smoking ashes. Either way you look at it there is a huge
emphasis on power and how it is used. It will be plentiful. As the
adage goes, “With great power comes great responsibility.” It is
that philosophy that should, indeed, become a beacon of truth for us
as we traverse this passage. However, it takes a very skilled and
astute energy manipulator to steer this energy to it's highest
expression. So, expect that some will be off the chain violent as
this is the path of least resistance. Aside from an adherence to
responsible use of power, it is also important (as any skilled
Mars/Pluto native knows) to be very mindful of what you pour your
energy into. Only give your precious Mars energy to projects that
feed back as much as you put in. Don't lend it things that serve only
as a drain. Instead, focus this tremendous energy upon building
stronger foundations and perhaps even upon renovation of the old.
Then, prepare to be amazed by your own progress.

The tremendous energy “push”
continues as Mars officially sinks into the depths of Pluto at 7:17
this morning on the following Sabian:
Capricorn 16: School grounds
filled with youths in gymnasium suits. Normal dependence upon
physical stimulation. Robust enthusiasm in approaching life's
contests; or immature impulsiveness.
We should try to move around
physically to help dissipate some of this excess physical energy. A
focus of energies is called for. Almost immediately after the
perfection of this conjunction, the collective emotional body sobers
up really quick by way of an opposition from the Moon in Gemini to
Saturn in Sagittarius at 7:41 AM. You know, at a quick glance, it
looks something like martial law. A lot of ugly comes trickling out
of Mars/Pluto and Saturn in Sagittarius is the strong hammer of the
law. So, the Empire strikes but the factions of law and world
regulatory factions respond quickly...and potentially rather
forcefully. This is NOT by any stretch of the imagination a light and
celebratory day. Be easy with yourself. Depression and oppression are
real factors as well as an over use of force and abuses of power.
In the meantime, minds are
also busy gathering information from all sides in an attempt to come
to the most just conclusion. And, this doesn't occur quietly. No, the
discussions happen right out in the open air, at times, in such a
forthright and direct matter that seems lightning bolts shoot
directly out of a person's mouth. There is room for true verbal
brilliance here. A veritable sword fight, in fact, that has the
chance to turn quite quickly paced and vicious.
At 9:17 PM the Moon squares
off with Chiron and our the elusive pain and bias of the collective
has it's trigger tripped. Then, the Moon trines Mercury and things
get REALLY windy at about 10:00. Quickly thereafter, the Moon catches
fuel and wind by way of a sextile to Uranus at 10:42 PM. All the
while, Mercury in Libra is strongly waxing toward a standoff
(opposition) with Uranus in Aries at 3:48 AM. Hey, I have an idea!
Let's cut ourselves free from all the political side winding bullshit
and look for the truth. How's that?
On the most mundane level,
this energy is manic. The brain races and scrambles and rumors spread
like wildfire. Yeah, Mercury in Libra can, indeed, be a gossip.
However, the highest expression of this energy has us balancing out
our desire for rebellion with more inclusive speech. It has us
weighing facts against fiction with intelligence and DEFINITELY
encourages us to think for ourselves instead of just instantly and
willingly incorporating the “he said/she said” into our personal
truths. Think for yourself. Fact check. Be more inclusive in your
speech. What novel ideas... But in all seriousness, this is a very
windy type energy that could also manifest within our weather
systems. And, could, in fact manifest in our minds and come out by
way of our tongues like a destructive cyclone. Be VERY mindful of
what you say. To help offset some of the manic energy, I suggest
cutting down on stimulants such as sugar, caffeine, etc throughout
the day. It will be a restless night for sleep, most likely. So, also
be wary of becoming overly mentally stimulated by over-consuming
electronic media and the like. Know when to call a halt to that and
take a break for the sake of your own sanity.

The winds give forth a final
gust as the Moon in Gemini trines the Sun in Libra at 7:18 AM. From
here, the mood goes flat as the Moon reaches Void status. She
reawakens in moody and sensitive Cancer at 11:29 AM. We are exhausted
with the chatter. We are blown weary by the wind.
We become more concerned
about matters of the home front and family rather than more worldly
concerns. Many will retreat into the sanctuary of their shells today.
As the Moon squares off with
windy Jupiter in Libra overnight (2:42 AM), we are likely “tired of
hearing it.” The endless arrow slings and arguments don't sit will
with Moon here. Turn off the TV. Turn down the ringer volume on your
phone. Shut the yammering of the world off for the day and withdraw
into yourself for protection and sanctuary. Eat well. Rest well. And,
waste no time telling the “other” to shut up about it...at least
for now. Feed your Moon.

At 3:35 AM, the Moon met
Neptune by watery trine...hopefully enabling us to get some rest. It
could have been tearful and emotive though. Such is the nature of
this kind of beast. It is very sensitive. But, also very intuitive.
By 1:14 PM bellies growl as
the Moon in Cancer stands off against Pluto in Capricorn. This is a
Momma Lioness versus the oppressiveness of regulatory bodies here.
The Moon then stands off with Mars also in Capricorn at 4:05 PM.
Momma Lioness is not happy at all. And, neither are the forces she
opposes. However, somebody has to look out for the needs of the
children and the nest. That is exactly what the Moon here is inclined
to do. Balance out matters of work versus matters of home. Bear in
mind that taking care of your emotional state is a more valuable
exercise than being overly concerned with social status or your
ability to produce. If you are messed up on the inside, anything you
produce on the outside is likely to be messed up to. So, make sure
your basic needs are met before you go off fighting a war. Circle the
wagons and protect the home front.
Just after midnight, the
moon squares off with Uranus in Aries. This could equate to being
overly stimulated. It could equate to being rattled out of your comfy
bed unexpectedly in the middle of the night. Either way, it isn't
comfortable for the Moon in Cancer. Perhaps make a pearl of the
irritant. But, expect that anxiety could, indeed, be a factor here.
The breakage of many a “give a damn” is also highly possible.
Many sturdy camel backs will break under those “final straw”
scenarios.

This morning the Moon in
Cancer is in square to Mercury in Libra as the battle between the
Crab and the Scales continues. By 3:15 PM the final “flush” of
this energy comes by way of our Last Quarter Moon which perfects at
the 29th degree of Cardinal signs. For real, whatever it
is, we need to let it go.
The Moon is only Void for a
brief time following this. And, she is not alone in her shifting. The
Moon moves into Leo at 3:35 PM and the Sun moves into the depths of
Scorpio at 7:46 PM.
Overnight, Venus and the
Moon buddy up by trine in fire signs (2:28 AM). That energy is
considerably lighter than what we've just endured. However, the Sun
now broods and seethes in Scorpio. So, some of that lightness will be
offset by that fact alone. Yet, there is still light, playfulness to
be had if you can coax yourself out of your brooding long enough to
grab the opportunity. On a side note, it's a good night for a
bonfire. If you'd like to use that bonfire toward magical intent,
write down what you would like to be rid of on a piece of paper and
let it perish in your fire. Banish things like paranoia, greed,
jealousy, abuses of power and the like to the fire. Last Quarter
Moons are SWEET opportunities for such. It's also a good night to
burn the last of your yard trimmings. Or, you know, just roast a
marshmallow and dance around to the steady beat of the tribal drum.
It all fits.

Today looks much better
energywise in comparison to some of the aspects we endured during the
meat of the week. The energy began an upswing as the Moon trined
Venus in Sagittarius overnight. The mood continues to lighten and
become more social as the Moon in Leo finds Jupiter in Libra by
sextile this morning (8:45 AM). Dumping/burning the things that
continually weigh us down (purging them by fire) last night really
holds potential for a lighter state of being this morning.
By 4:21 PM the Moon is
stabilized with a trine to Saturn in Sagittarius. This is a great
time to make preparations for your week ahead. It's also a good night
for things like board games and other ways in which you can take fun
seriously. All in all, it feels nice to be a little more settled and
centered.
The rest of the day, the
Moon makes only minor aspect as she works her way toward a trine with
Uranus which perfects in the morning. The mood continues to lighten
and lift as the Moon moves through Leo. This, however, is our last
full day of Mercury in Libra. On Monday evening, Mercury dives into
the depths of Scorpio and conversations turn to whispers and secret
plots are held tightly to our chests. Thoughts turn serious and deep.
So, definitely enjoy the lightness of today.
