Taking a long-view of our week ahead
shows me that between now and the Full Moon a lot of things are going
to change. For one thing, all 3 of our “personal” planets switch
signs. Mars moves to Aquarius. Venus moves to Capricorn. Mercury
moves to Sagittarius. What we end up with is this nice forward moving
train of personal planets led by a champion of social causes Mars who
also happens to be in mutual reception with his current ruler Uranus.
Those three shifts look hopeful. However, the Sun remains in intense
Scorpio. The Moon moves from light and airy Aquarius into emotional
Pisces before waging war and raging in Aries. This tells me that even
with the positive shifts, some resistance to change, intensity,
surprises, discomfort and general malaise/discomfort persists. With
the exception of our Pisces Moon days, sleeping may be elusive or
restless. There is an indication toward self-care and sheltering
oneself from the self-created storms of others.
Jupiter remains in Libra and now seems
to be teaching us to, perhaps, pick our battles and engage our
talents at conflict avoidance all together. We weigh the importance
of standing on our soapboxes of truth and justice against the
importance of losing relationships that could mean more to us than
just being right. Of course, once Mercury goes into Sagittarius, few
lips will be cinched shut. Remember, however, Mercury in Sagittarius
isn't just a preacher with a bullhorn. Prayer is also an excellent
use of this energy. At any rate, the week ends on a high note with
the Full Moon in Taurus lighting up the skies on Sunday night.

This morning, the Sun in
Scorpio lingers in sextile to his current ruler, Pluto in Capricorn.
This aspect perfected overnight (3:21 AM); but, was probably strongly
felt building on Sunday and leaving a lingering after taste this
morning. Due this, personalities may come on strong or intense.
Either way, not many are willing to entertain light/social matters
and, quite frankly, are not willing to negotiate about much. Some may
be paranoid. Some may be forceful. Some may just linger in the
shadows quietly gathering data or information---all detective-like.
It's a good aspect to use for self-exploration. Facing your own
demons. Re-empowering yourself. At any rate, the weight of intensity
in this regard hangs around for most of the day. Genealogy research
fits well with this. At least that's how I've been using it. Seems to
be a quite lovely distraction from current events as well. If you
have been ill, Sun/Pluto offers wonderful opportunity to make strides
toward healing the body physical.
The Moon is in Aquarius
today. She begins with a social trine to Jupiter in Libra at 8:39 AM.
Now, the Moon is social but the Sun is in the position of “dark,
quiet and mysterious.” So there is likely to be some ambiguity due
this. That can meet with actual friction as the day goes forward and
we encounter our First Quarter Moon that pits social Aquarius against
dark and mysterious Scorpio. Prior to the perfection of that, though,
our social Moon is stabilized by a sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius
at 1:29 PM. Do we call up a friend? Do we sit in a dark corner and
brood? Do we devise a plan to bring the world together or construct a
plan for personal world domination? Ah. Decisions, decisions. Of
course, we can always be a little chatty. Asking the right questions
can open pathways to knowledge that we have been looking for. You
know, as if you were a spy at a social event or something. That
works. Eyes peeled. Ears open. Nonchalant smile on your face but
mentally recording absolutely everything. Oh yes. We can do that.
The First Quarter Moon
officially perfects at 2:52 PM bringing a bit of pressure with her.
That's how this type of building Quarter Moon operates. From now
until the Full Moon in Taurus next week, emotions (and the Moon) will
build and intensify. This First Quarter marks the budding of that.
What it indicates is to look for blocks to our intentions from the
New Moon in Scorpio to arise. Walk through the evaluative process of
worth (is it worth it or no) and then start looking for ways to
overcome these obstacles and push through. The seed of intention
cracks its shell and peeks its tender leaves above
ground...metaphorically, of course. This Quarter occurs at the fixed
degrees of 15 Aqua/Scorpio 50.
The Sabians are as follows:
Aquarius 16: Business
manager at his desk studies a complex project. The central control of
operations needed in all organized enterprise. The head-function.
Surety in decision. Management.
Scorpio 16: A girl
with aristocratic features smiles entrancingly. Fervent outreaching
of self in moments of purest beauty. Leaping to meet the
potentialities of life. Blossoming forth.
From here, it seems puzzle
pieces start clicking together. There is a good mixture of elements
in the day to tackle more intricate and detailed projects. Brains are
buzzing quite well even if lips are not moving much.
Overnight the Moon makes a
nice sextile with her modern ruler, Uranus at 1:28 AM which could
equate to a bit of restless sleep or mind racing which overruns into
tomorrow with an early morning square to Mercury in Scorpio at 4:58
AM. To avoid the restlessness and potential mind-racing dismiss
yourself from stimulation overload. Dig for the relevant information,
yes. But, don't get too involved in stuff that may only serve as a
distraction in the end. Unless it's a distraction that brings you
peace and resolve, then go for it!
Tuesday, November 8, 2016
This morning we wake up to a
sextile from the Aquarius Moon to Venus in Sagittarius at 8:55 AM.
Following this, the Moon is Void until 4:46 PM when she dips her toes
in the seas of Pisces. Overnight, motivation shifts from being
adherent to matters of tradition and production and puts on his
social battle gear as he enters Aquarius. The early morning sextile
to Venus encourages us to venture out and meet the day.
Mars in Aquarius is a
champion of social causes. He also fights his battles more with high
minded principles than precedent. He is not afraid to do things
differently and find new ways to address old problems. He is active
within tribes and communities. His traditional ruler is Saturn. So,
we do have some steadfast and responsible energy following his
transition. But, his modern ruler is Uranus which gives him the
ability to see when the old ways aren't working anymore and it's time
to invent new solutions. And, he doesn't fight alone. He runs with a
hoard. Even if that hoard may be dressed in lab coats and eyeglasses.
In regard to the meat of the
day, after the Moon clicks over into Pisces there is a chance for
increased emotionality. Sleepiness. A need to withdraw into quiet
solitude. General rule of thumb, step up emotional boundaries, drink
plenty of water and don't deprive yourself of rest. Look for healthy
escapes from daily drama like delving into fiction or setting your
mood to music...which absolutely is effective under a Pisces Moon.
Don't like how you feel? Change the station.

Emotions rule the day as we
begin with a lunar conjunction to Neptune at 9:15 AM. Well. That's
gonna be fun. Not. But, really, there may be tears, lethargy, profuse
emotions and mourning to contend with. I deal with Pisces Moon square
Neptune every day and have for the last 44 years or so. Let me tell
you something, emotional boundaries are no joke. Isolating yourself
or protecting yourself from the potential sickness of the world is
definitely indicated because, today, it's highly contagious. Our
physical bodies are also likely to be highly reactive to what we feed
it. So, I suggest keeping it light and healthy. Plenty of water.
Fresh fruits and veggies. Keep caffeine and stimulant intake low or
you'll run the risk of over-stimulation (which can make emotionality
worse) and anxiety. Folks are quite sensitive today. Know that. You
will likely be quite sensitive for one reason or another as well.
Protect and care for yourself.
The rest of the day the Moon
waxes into a depressing square with Saturn in Sagittarius. Veils
drop. Disappointment waxes in. And the mood has a chance to turn
quite dour. However, whether we like the truth we encounter here or
not, we are called to walk through stages of acceptance since it is
what it is. We can't do a thing about it until we realize/accept it
as truth. This does enable us (force us) to strengthen our boundaries
and wall up more negative outside influence. As in, shut the door on
it and go deal with yourself. I'm telling you this is likely to be
quite a trying day. But it will pass. Shelter and care for yourself
until the storm passes.
We do meet with a bit of
resolve as the Moon sextiles Pluto at 7:58 PM and subsequently trines
the survivalist Scorpio Sun at midnight. We'll make it. We have lots
of work to do. But, we'll make it. Overall, it is a watery day. How
it goes for you depends on how well you are able to deal with your
own emotional body. So keep that in mind. It is also a highly
intuitive day. So, pay attention to what you feel more so than what
you see. Non-verbal communication will tell you loads more about what
you are dealing with than actual verbal exchanges. Don't discount
what your intuitive/emotive body tells you today. Remember, though,
in order to “hear” that correctly you must seek a place of quiet
reprieve. Meditation is a stellar activity for this. As is spending
time in or around actual water. If you don't know how to swim, at
least learn to float.

This morning the Moon still
swims in the oceanic waters of Pisces. Early this morning she met
Chiron by conjunction. Yes, you may feel triggered. Remorseful. Lost.
Confused. Sick. Emotional. All those things. Lean into effective
coping mechanisms.
By 4:18 PM the Moon is in
watery trine with Mercury in Scorpio. Listen more to what folks are
not saying than what they are saying. Again, be aware of the
non-verbal communication and heed your intuitive body. This is
followed by a rather uncomfortable square to Venus in Sagittarius at
6:18 PM. Venus begs us to come out of our Piscean retreat and engage
in matters of world affairs, adventure and all that. There is some
self-negotiation called for here. You can engage. Or you can leave
the door shut.
Following this square the
Moon is Void until entering Aries at 8:46 PM. Now, what this means is
the mood is about to change from subdued, tearful, remorseful and
flowy to fiery, angry and active. This Moon's movements will light up
fire trines across the sky for a bit. Use today to get rested,
stabilized and ready for that. The call to action could begin as
early as tonight when the Moon sextiles Mars newly in Aquarius at
11:07 PM. This is tactical. Less violent and more engaging of mental
capacities and networks in an effort to solve/tackle a problem.
Though, at it's lowest, it can be ice cold in its acts as well. The
best way to deal with it is to rise above the initial instinct of
kill or be killed and devise a more intelligent less bloody way to
deal with the situation. Work smart not hard.
Friday, November 11, 2016
This morning we are busy and
motivated under our Aries Moon. She remains largely unaspected for
most of the day until meeting Jupiter in Libra by opposition at 6:57
PM. This can make emotions over-blown at it's worst. But it is can
also be a call to keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
Either way there is a “rub” between Me and We, violence and
decorum, activity and leisure. Balance it out as best you can and
remember your “benefit” lies in peacemaking Libra not war
mongering Aries.
Negotiation and compromise
can occur here and that is a wonderful expression of this opposition.
But, we have to bear in mind that everyone has individual needs to be
addressed in that. Tough job. But, we have to start somewhere and
Aries Moon is great at initiation and engagement.
How you address this
opposition is going to determine how well you address the waxing
square from the Moon in Aries to Pluto in Capricorn at 10:10 PM.
Allow emotional situations to get you all heated up and by the time
this square waxes in you could be downright bloodthirsty. Efforts of
emotional control may come about. Misuse of power and social standing
may occur. But, your best efforts are bent toward self-control and an
awareness of cause and effect, action and consequence. Know that we
may see some ugliness come about due this aspect.
The mood does become
stabilized a bit as the Moon meets Saturn by trine at 10:21 PM. It
is, however, a fire trine so we may be called to “do something
about it” whatever “it” is for you at the moment. Act with
integrity and responsibility and you can't go wrong here. Proper and
mature self-assertion (not necessarily aggression) is called for.
At 11:55 PM, Venus moves
from Sagittarius and sinks into Capricorn. Values become stabilized.
We are encouraged to be responsible in regard to matters of money and
relationships. We value stability, caring leadership and well earned
reward. The stuff you work for not necessarily the stuff you are
freely given. Venus here may not be the most social. But, the social
connections she does have are sturdy. She is comfortable with her own
company and has a financial plan. She knows what is important and is
willing to work toward her material goals. It's not a light and
lively Venus. But, here, she is a steady and reliable Venus. Classic beauty.
So, Mars has shifted. Venus
has shifted. And, our next personal planet due to shift is Mercury.
This occurs tomorrow as Mercury lifts herself up and out of the deep
waters of Scorpio and arises as if newly baptized in the fires of
Sagittarius almost as if he is speaking in tongues (which by the way,
this placement is excellent for learning a new language if you are
looking for that opportunity). Mouths and minds are aflame! Mercury
in Sagittarius is very forthright about preaching, teaching and
saying exactly what it thinks. You ready for that? Mercury's
inclination to be a trickster is accentuated in this sign as well.
Mercury in Sagittarius loves a good belly laugh and doesn't hesitate
to pull a joke or a prank or two in an effort to spread that
laughter. Discretion though...um...not so much. In the head and out
the mouth is generally how it goes. Yet, at it's highest, this
placement is wise and does have extensive knowledge to share. It
should since it spent so much time researching in the sign of
Scorpio. Now, we come forth with this knowledge and truth and barely
take a breath in preaching it.

As the Sun rises this
morning, the Moon is conjunct Uranus (7:46 AM). Of course this is
definitely a “get up and go” type aspect. However, though it may
get us moving early, the Moon reaches Void status following this.
Meanwhile, as mentioned in yesterday's write up, Mercury lights up in
the sign of Sagittarius at 9:40 AM. Make a joyful noise! Speak with
gratitude and optimism! Dare to laugh.
As the Moon remains void,
the Sun also trines Chiron in Pisces. Yes. There is fire in the day
with the Moon and Mercury. But there is also a quiet rippling of
water under the surface that bears quite personal significance.
Efforts at self-care and indicated and become more punctuated as the
day moves forward.
The Moon remains Void until
entering Taurus at 9:25 PM. At this point, the fire energy settles a
bit and we are more inclined to entertain creature comforts. Though,
some may veer toward stubbornness, we are all looking for a nice
leisurely field to graze and laze in. It's perfectly OK to treat
yourself. It's been a busy, emotional and somewhat noisy week. Feel
free to dismiss yourself from that noise tonight. Cows don't enjoy to
be startled. So, grab your favorite snuggly things and grab a bowl of
comfort food to chill.
Overnight, we may meet with
a bit of ambiguity as the Moon in Taurus squares off with itchy
twitchy Mars in Aquarius at 2:07 AM. Yes. The Moon is growing and
with that the nights can become more restless and sleep more and more
elusive. Playing a game on your phone or PC could satisfy this or at
least keep your hands busy while you are still lazing on your couch.
Or it could be that over-stimulation is keeping you from sleep
already. Turn off the electronics early if you must.
Sunday, November 13, 2016
This morning the Moon
lingers in Taurus only to meet naptime at about Noon due a sextile to
Neptune. Hey, it's Sunday. Why not?
It's a rather leisurely day.
By 9:46 PM craving run deep and so do emotions. The Moon meets Pluto
in Capricorn by way of gritty, yet solid, Earth trine at 9:46 PM.
Endurance is delivered as well as fortitude and integrity....and if
you are lucky some late night dark chocolate treats! Emotions are
strong as are emotional attachments. Make sure you are only holding
on to what is worthy, true and solid. I don't suspect sleep will come
easy tonight. Our Super Full Moon pops to perfection at 8:53 AM. Why
not stay up and greet her “Hello.” She's going to be beaming full
on through your windows anyway. Taunting ad teasing you to come out
and play with her in her full lunacy. Perhaps there will be late
night prowlers and howlers. Surely the cats will be quite vocal if
nothing else.
The Sabians for tomorrow's
Full Moon read as follows:
THE SUN AT 23 SCORPIO:
Placid white rabbit metamorphoses into a dancing elf.
Revelation of unexpected vital urges latent in all beings. Great
creative potentialities. Capacity for self-maintenance.
THE MOON AT 23 TAURUS: A
jewelry shop filled with the most magnificent jewels. Abundance
of permanent spiritual values; or social display of traditional
racial achievements. Profusion of inner gifts.
The ruler of the Moon,
itself, falls in Capricorn. It will be important to be responsible in
regard to the things we value and act all grown up in our
relationships and stuff. Share your goodies if you have excess. But,
mainly realize that best possessions are not those that someone else
can steal or take away. This is an excellent Moon for releasing
things like negative attachment, debt (monetary or Karmic) and
realizing that you came into this world owning absolutely nothing.
Anything you claim ownership over is basically an illusion. You own
nothing but yourself, your actions, your consequence, your values and
what love you hold in your heart. And, that's about it.
