The Moon entered Sagittarius
last night at 10:20 PM. This morning (9:18 AM), we find her squaring
Mars in Pisces. This can manifest confused motivation or
demotivation. Either way, it is not conducive of direct forward
motion. Mars is in PISCES. Ok? So, this is not the Mars we know. How
do you move (Mars) in the ocean (Pisces)? You float or swim. You do
not run. You have to surrender to the currents and tides. Sometimes
skitter sideways or do nothing at all. It will behoove you to
remember you cannot fist fight Neptune. The more you struggle here
the more quickly you will sink to the bottom. If our traveler
Sagittarius Moon wants to get anywhere, she will remember and be
mindful of the territory she is traversing right now. At the very
least, this can kick off ambiguity in regard to what we need to be
doing or feel like doing. Release and go with the flow.
Overlaying the entirety of
this day, we have the building energy of Jupiter waxing into
opposition with Uranus who is quivering in station preparing to turn
direct in just a few days. What that means is Uranian energy is extra
twitchy. Not only might we have demotivation and ambiguity to deal
with, we may also have anxiety and just the mere sense of off the
hook craziness that accompanies this waxing opposition that perfects
at 1:31 PM. And, I have no better word to describe this set up than
crazy. Like potential loose cannon crazy. Ok? Even better reason to
kind of hold yourself at bay for now, just to see how this plays out.
There is potential for
positive manifestation of this. But, remember the energy is all
around you not just coming to you. So, expect some bolts to fly out
of metaphorical (or literal) machinery. Thankfully both Uranus and
Jupiter are still amicably within orb of Saturn. Grounding is
accessible and highly suggested. As well as a sense of purpose and
priority. Remember where it is you are trying to go even if you might
not have a direct line of actually getting there right now. Still,
hold that sense of “true north” in front of you as a reminder.
Of course, all the regular
cautions apply in regard to the potential anxiety associated with
Uranus. Many will feel itchy/twitchy enough without adding more
stimulation or amped up chemicals in their body. Maintain a clear
circuit. Drink plenty of water. Engage Saturn by way of
boundary...likened to a Teflon coating allowing things to roll off
your back instead of trying to hold them on your shoulders. You can
move physically to offset some of the twitchiness. Dancing or some
other type of fluid-like movement is recommended. Set your motivation
to music (Mars in Pisces).
What we are being called to
do is balance out the “rebel against all things” energy of Uranus
in Aries with the more subtle and less direct movements of Jupiter in
Libra. We have this “sudden knee jerk energy” countered with an
ability to discern the “others point of view” and assess things
like impact and collateral damage. We may see how waging a violent
rebellion is not helping. We may be reminded that what we need to do
is pull together instead of continually allowing ourselves to be
fractured. We may learn the value of passivity and just being nice.
We may learn that we can be our independent and unique selves (Uranus
in Aries) and still surround ourselves with folks who lift us up and
bring joy to our lives (Jupiter in Libra). You can maintain your
sense of identity and still be appreciated and enjoy others. Yes. I
promise you can.
But, yeah, overall it looks
like a pretty wild ride when Jupiter and Uranus are facing off. Be
careful out there. Many will be hyper aware of their surroundings
today.
Unfortunately, what we end
up with following the perfection of this big and important opposition
is a lunar square to Neptune (5:42 PM) followed by Mercury Rx
perfecting in 2nd sextile to the same (11:49 PM). Now.
This looks rather emotional and potentially confusing. We have the
opportunity to both be fed a bunch of lies or discover some that
folks delivered to us at the 1st pass of Mercury/Neptune.
There is a potential for washout however you look at it. Easy does it
now. We are very, very sensitive and probably anxious and maybe even
in shock. Take some alone time. Ground. Turn off the noise. Deal with
your emotions and look for fact more than you play with fiction.
Later tonight and leading
into tomorrow, the Sun in Capricorn finds Mars in Pisces by sextile.
Plans can be made here. Ideas for addressing things. But, we realize
we might have to be a little sideways or indirect about it. We know
what must be done. But, we are going to have to do it “under the
veil” to a degree.
Overall, this is definitely
a Monday (and a half!). Things have potential to get more than a
little crazy and unpredictable. That is going to take a toll on the
emotional body. Tread carefully. Keep boundaries tight and radar up
while realizing the shortest distance between two points IS a
straight line but we are not exactly moving in a linear fashion right
now. Engage “spotting” your target when you feel like you are
spinning in circles to avoid needless dizziness. Realize there are
tides and undercurrents to contend with...resisting or trying to
fight that is just going to drain and frazzle you even more.
I feel as if we are able to
get through this day without some type of explosion or something
crazy happening with electrical and/or water systems; then, we've
just witnessed some sort of miracle. Please be careful and aware out
there while maintaining clear boundary and purpose. My suggestion is
not to mirror the ugly you may perceive in the world but to counter
that ugly with something that is more a true expression of yourself
and one that promotes peace and togetherness moreso than violence and
lashing out. I'm not saying that is going to be easy. There may be
things that poke at you and try to get you to react violently or
angrily. Don't let that control you. You control you. With that, we
want to build a brighter future (Saturn in Sagittarius) not compound
ourselves with future regrets.

This morning the water
begins to dry up a bit. The Sun holds in sextile to Mars in Pisces.
So, there is a little dampness there that calls for subtlety and
grace. But by 3:32 PM the Moon is locked into a fire trine with
Uranus while also in sextile to Jupiter. This is a “wildfire” set
up. Yet, with the Moon also moving toward Saturn (conjunction at 4:12
PM) we need to work to keep this at a controlled burn. The ultimate
truth bears the keys that can set you free. However, when it swings
it's sword to cut away the chains it might hurt or the truth may be
hard to deal with in the first place.
That fact is accentuated by
the Moon also squaring Chiron just a few minutes after bumping into
Saturn. Before you do anything, let that truth settle in. Notice what
painful dust it stirs up and acknowledge/deal with that proactively.
Echoes of the past are entirely possible here and these may not be
welcomed memories. Remember, you are not there anymore. Maintain a
sense of the present.
By 8:46 PM we are inclined
to circle our friends about us in support as the Moon sextiles Venus
in Aquarius. This brings more wind to the wildfire though so be sure
to tend that carefully. Following this sextile, the Moon is Void
until entering Capricorn at 10:13 AM tomorrow.

This morning we wake up to a
Void Moon in Sagittarius. She re-awakens in Capricorn at 10:13 AM.
She is very slim now...almost completely dark as she continues
releasing and detoxing up until the New Moon late tonight (1:55 AM).
After the Moon slips into
Capricorn, Mercury finds the Sun via conjunction at 1:48 PM shortly
preceding Saturn's official square to Chiron in Pisces at 5:55 PM.
The Saturn/Chiron square perfects at 21 Mutable 01. The Sun/Mercury
conjunction occurs at 7 Capricorn 14. The Sabian Symbol for the
Sun/Mercury RX (and eventually, the Moon) conjunction reads as
follows (From Dane Rudyar's “Wheel of Significance”):
In a big living room flooded
with sunlight canaries sing. The happiness that radiates from an
integrated personality. Firm self-establishment in social comfort or
respectability.
The Sabian for the
Sun/Mercury/Moon conjunction reads rather optimistically. It feels
warm and when you consider sunlight and canaries you can't really
help but to think of yellow and brightness...all indicators of joy.
With Mercury Rx, this surely comes from inside us. A self-fostered
sort of comfort within oneself that radiates outward bringing warmth
to our surroundings with it.
Believe it or not, Saturn is
here to help us with his harsh square to Chiron. What he is doing is
bringing boundary, awareness and stability to our more deeply
invasive pains. Fostering and radiating joy and comfort within
oneself for the mere sake of it IS an effective coping mechanism (as
well as owning/acknowledging these elusive pains/illnesses to begin
with) and that's exactly what Saturn wants us to do. Sagittarius is a
Jupiter sign that does equate to joy, generosity and warmth at his
highest vibration. While Saturn lingers in Sagittarius suppressing
and disciplining the sign of Jupiter, we have to learn to create
these feelings ourselves. Sometimes, in order to do this, we must
take ourselves to a quiet place out of earshot of the rest of the
world. Create boundary so we can hear our hearts speak truth to us
once more without outside interference. Know this is not a bursting
forth of joy that has us running around the room. It's a quiet
warmth. A comfortable inner glow. A humble joy.
Most typically, a
Sun/Mercury conjunction signals a time of a busy mind, rapid
communication, possible mental over-stimulation. But, if we take
Mercury's retrograde cue here, we can envelop ourselves in silence in
an effort to offset the spinning brain. Bring stillness to the
chatter and take just a moment to delve deeply inward. Meditation, of
course, works well here. As well as just sitting quietly with the TV,
radio and electronics silenced. Seek not more information at this
time. Instead, seek inner peace and quiet solace. Emotion follows
thought here. The Moon officially finds Mercury by conjunction at
11:47 PM.
If you can manage to find
that quiet peaceful space inside of you, it's only going to help you
later as Mercury Rx next finds Mars in Pisces by sextile just after
midnight. With a quiet and peaceful mind (Mercury) you can easily
roll over into dreamland (Mars in Pisces). With a busy and worried
mind you can toss and turn all night. Too many distractions and we
could become accident prone or start acting out or trying to numb our
pain instead of acknowledging it. Controlling and directing one's own
thoughts is a chore for Mercury Rx in Capricorn. You have full
license to berate yourself with worry or to throw a big leash on that
brain and tell it where it needs to go.
Finally, at 1:55 AM, our New
Moon in Capricorn blossoms at 7 Capricorn 59 depicting the same
Sabian Symbol as the earlier Sun/Mercury conjunction and, perhaps,
even illustrating this need for self-fostered joy, well boundaried
and responsible relationship with our pain and a self-directed
brain/perspective/inner language as an activity not only for today
but ripe for future intent as well. Who knows what is true or what
is the best perspective anymore. It is now our jobs to declare our
own truth and choose our own perspectives instead of being slain by
the constant barrage of potential fabrications coming from the
outside world. Inside of your heart, you know what is real, what is
important and what is true. Quit allowing yourself to be distracted
by the latest trending story that may tell you otherwise.
Overnight, Uranus stations
direct at 2:36 AM. It's time to move forward with this intrinsically
fostered awareness and personal wisdom.

This morning the Moon
lingers in Capricorn in a leisurely sextile with Neptune in Pisces.
This is soft and a bit subdued. But, the fog deepens and darkens as
the day moves forward the Moon finds Pluto in Capricorn via
conjunction at 7:13 PM. Softer feelings have opportunity to deepen
and swirl here. Emotional manipulations and acts of control creep out
of our closets. Stare the demons down and dissipate them with
light...oh, it was just your sweater hanging over the chair and not a
real demon.
As the night progresses, the
Moon squares off with Uranus newly direct at 2:21 AM. This can
catalyze anxiety and nervousness or bring us just the right kind of
illumination at just the right time.
Whatever Moon/Pluto and
Moon/Uranus brings to us, it grows under a lunar square to Jupiter at
3:08 AM which is quickly followed by a lunar sextile to Chiron in
Pisces at 3:18 AM that ushers our Capricorn Moon into Void status.
She will remain Void until entering Aquarius at 8:30 PM on Friday
night. A loooong Void of Course Moon gifts us with another
opportunity at quiet contemplation. Don't forget your inward fostered
joy and peace intentions from yesterday. Continue to employ those
exercises which help us to develop such.
Friday, December 30, 2016
This morning, the Moon
remains Void as the Sun waxes into a softening sextile with Neptune
at 6:25 PM. The boss is tired. It's time to prop up our feet and
perhaps have a nice relaxing sip of wine to help us unwind. Loosen
your tie. Unbuckle your shoes and relax.
The Moon re-awakens in
Aquarius at 8:30 PM.

The sky is fairly quiet on
this New Year's Eve. There are no major lunar aspects but only a pure
hopeful Aquarian Moon to guide us through our day. Light. Airy. Free
and surrounded by friends. These are the cravings du jour.
Our early morning hours are
colored by a sneaky inconjunct from Jupiter in Libra to Chiron in
Pisces. So, there may be some inner stirrings to contend with. But,
for the most part, it is a quiet day.
I would say it is mostly
arid with a pure Aquarius Moon. However, we do have a waxing
conjunction from Mars to Neptune in Pisces to contend with as well.
This perfects overnight at 1:53 AM encouraging us to stop. Sleep.
Dream. Float.
Yet, the movement does irk
Father Neptune. There may be nightmares to contend with wrapped up in
this night. Drunken brawls are also a high possibility. I've a
feeling that small gatherings of true and trusted friends are best on
this night. That way things have less of a chance to become volatile
or spin out of control. We could see some trouble with matters of
water, gas (as in home heating systems) and general confused
motivation and lethargy.

Happy New Year! New Day! New
Month! If you are reading this on this day, pat yourself on the back
for you have officially survived 2016. Grab your lighter and burn
that calendar year to ash. We have a fresh new page to scrawl upon.
This morning the Moon
remains in Aquarius and is uplifted by a sextile to her current ruler
Uranus in Aries. We are slow to wake up most likely due last night's
Mars/Neptune conjunction. Mars remains tight to the Sea God
throughout the rest of the day. However the arid nature of Uranus
offers us an opportunity to lighten up and dry out a bit. This is
exacerbated by a warming air trine from the Moon to Jupiter in Libra
at 12:39 PM. Then, stabilized by way of a lunar sextile to Saturn at
1:05 PM.
The rest of the day, this
stable, airy and potentially very joy-filled optimistic Moon works
toward a conjunction to Venus in Aquarius at 3:00 AM.
This is much lighter than
most of our previous week. Folks want to be hopeful and optimistic
about the brand New Year knocking on our door. Put to practice your
deliberately fostered and self-made joy. Allow yourself to be
hopeful. If you can do that, you will sail lightly through this day.
The energy is also ripe for making wishes.
Welcome to 2017!
