This morning we awake under
the Moon in Virgo. She likely had a watery evening yesterday; but,
feels somewhat restored and refocused this morning due an early
morning trine with Pluto in Capricorn (6:40 AM). My suggestion is to
monopolize upon the after-effects of this Lunar Pluto trine this
morning. Get good and grounded. Get your priorities straight. All
that. This day is chock full of “sneaky” little surprises. YAY
MONDAY!
The “fun” starts at
around lunchtime as the Moon makes a subtle (but possibly unsettling)
inconjunct to Uranus in Aries. This feels as if something is stirring
or just not right in our periphery. It's not in our faces yet. But,
something feels off or something in the way of the unexpected
happens. Here's something I want to point out. Jupiter in Libra,
Uranus in Aries, Saturn in Sagittarius and Chiron in Pisces are kind
of all working together now. These “big players” also have some
asteroids joining the party by way of Lilith in Scorpio, Vesta in
Cancer, Eris in Aries, Juno in Sagittarius all piled up around the
late degrees of their respective signs while Hekate in Taurus holds a
little further in; but, still within orb of the party. Whenever the
Moon hits one by aspect, she triggers them all. You can liken this to
a domino effect or a chain reaction. Both descriptions fit the bill.
So, what this sneaky little inconjunct does is essentially push over
the first domino.
To add a little fuel
(literally) to what is happening at these latter degrees, we have the
Sun just now falling out of the situation as he heads towards
Aquarius. But, Mars is dragged into the mix today. A few hours after
the inconjunct to Uranus, the Moon stands in opposition to our
Piscean Mars (2:03 PM) and then Chiron (2:27 PM). Ah, yep. We stub
our toe on something. It hurts. We want to respond and are prone to
do so quickly. But, our practical Moon is a bit confused. I want to
tell you to just do the right thing here. But, I have a tendency to
think that figuring out what is “right” may be hard. Plus, we are
probably looking at some older wounds being stirred up at the same
time which works to color in the situation on an individual level.
Perhaps the best thing to do is proactively care for the part of us
that is wounded, first. Nurse your “stubbed toe.” Then, wait to
see how this plays out before we do anything.
The consequences of what we
decide to do or don't decide to do in response to the aforementioned
lunar movements come home to roost in our emotional bodies as the
Moon meets Saturn in Sagittarius by harsh square at 5:15 PM. This is
heaviness. On the low end, Virgo Moon will worry and may even feel
guilty by way of self-conviction. Or, we may meet with a Saturn
figure who tells us all about what it is we should have done or not
done. On the high end, (though it is anything but comfortable) this
square could also bring enough grounding to help us see that what we
have in front of us is difficult to wrangle WHILE ALSO delivering
unto us a sense of direction. So, we are rocked. But, the rocking
itself jars something loose. Focus upon the very next step in front
of you. Remember where you are going. Sure. But, for now, draw your
focus to the very next step.
Step mindfully. Our next
major aspect finds our little fishy Mars on Chiron's hook
(conjunction at 9:13 PM). Our actions will illustrate how we respond
to elusive Chironic issues. We could take that little stubbed toe
(which was bad enough) and not care for it properly and end up
shooting off our entire foot due to unconscious and wounded animal or
self-victimizing/martyring reactions. Awareness is key!
The conjunction of Mars and
Chiron occurs at 21 Pisces. Again, this (Mars' entrance to these
degrees) trips all those party attendees I mentioned at the beginning
of today's write up in some way or another. So, there is a large
swirl of energy that comes along with this. The Sabian Symbol for
this conjunction reads as follows:
 |
| Divinity is at work here.. |
Pisces 22: Down a symbolic mountain of industry comes a new Moses. In Dane Rudhyar's “The Wheel of Significance,” he delineates this Sabian by saying it indicates “holding ourselves to the highest of standards.” In other versions of this Symbol, Moses' name is omitted but Mt. Sinai is mentioned. When, I first read this Sabian, it gave me pause. I mean, you just don't go tossing words like “Moses” and “Mt. Sinai” around without them reverberating in, if nothing else, symbolic significance! Not to mention, religious and cultural significance.
Holding ourselves to the
highest of standards.
These are very shifty (?)
uncertain (?) ah...CHANGEABLE global times. This will likely be a
significant week in World history due various reasons. What will come
of it? I have no idea. It's as if those wheels have been set in
motion. It is now likened to a run-a-way train. I'm sitting over here
holding my breath with the rest of the world in anticipation of the
crash. I do know I cannot stop the train nor predict where it is
headed. I can, however, bring my focus back to where I am standing. I
can mindfully take my next step according to the direction I feel
best supports the future I have in mind in my life. And, so can you.
Care for your own wounded
foot. In the words of Lynda Hill from her numerous write ups on this
and other Sabian Symbols, “Remember, worry is like praying for the
things you DON'T want.” That, my friends, is a very true statement.
Ditch worry. Do what needs to be done to help fix whatever needs to
be fixed right in front of you. Redirect “worry” to “effective
solution seeking.” Then, lean more toward your own sense of inner
truth for direction rather than relying on someone else to spoon feed
you their version. At the very least, these are certainly interesting
times. On a personal level. On a Global level. On an Astrological
level.
The Moon remains active
through the Mars/Chiron conjunction. From here, she is waxing into a
rather grounded trine with our Sun at the final degrees of Capricorn
which perfects at 1:11 AM. Get your feet underneath you. Take care of
your business.
Following this Earth trine
the Moon is Void until entering Libra at 6:17 AM tomorrow morning.

This morning we wake up to
the Moon freshly in Libra. By 1:38 PM she is debating with Mercury in
Capricorn who remains in his retrograde shadow, though direct. This
veritable confrontation whether it is internalized or externalized
shapes the mood of the day. As the Moon moves forward she will
encounter more friction. Friction between Cardinal signs often
indicates a grappling of control either internally or externally.
Sometimes both.
Perhaps someone in a
position of authority says something that doesn't sit well with us
for one reason or another under the Moon/Mercury square. Perhaps we
take an authoritative stance within our relationships which produces
an air of discomfort or unease. Either way, the Moon in Libra is
prone to smile through it or try to bring accommodation or schmoozing
to the debate table...because that is what Libra does.
Libra has a variety of tools
in her tool chest that she can use here. Her most astute power,
though, is in the ability to view things from the position of the
“other” instead of from a singular point of view. We can use this
power in response to whatever this situation may bring up. Try to see
things from the “others” perspective in an effort to get a view
of the situation in its entirety. Veer away from Libra's shadow
tendency of being overly accommodating just in an effort to please.
Be the fair judge.
Balance and clear logic
along with an awareness of timing (sometimes viewed as
procrastination) are also key Libran talents.
Overnight, our Libra Moon
will meet both Neptune and Libra by inconjunct as Mars parallels this
interaction with his own inconjunct to Jupiter. This, surge (wave) of
Venus and Neptune carries us all the way into tomorrow afternoon.
This indicates a call toward the higher functioning of both energies.
Love. Peace. Par for the course. as we enter tomorrow's Cardinal
squares that are brought to outlet by way of Vesta in Cancer. The
most effective answer to any troubles we may encounter over the next
few days are going to be associated with what is considered Divine
Feminine energy which means love and care more while warring and
killing less. Basically. Oh yeah, no one is saying that choosing
those options are going to be easy. That choice remains up to you.

This morning we wake in the
middle of that Venus/Neptune wave I mentioned yesterday while still
under an active Libra Moon. Her next stop is a square to Pluto at
4:24 PM. The plot definitely thickens and conflict over control again
rises as an issue.
This veritable undertow
continues until it finds release by way of a lunar opposition to
Uranus in Aries once again starting that latter degree domino effect
that pulls all kinds of energy together with our other players in the
sky. The inconjunct to Chiron comes just after midnight. The
conjunction to Jupiter at 2:28 AM followed by an inconjunct with Mars
at 3:55 AM. Finally, the Moon stabilizes a bit with a sextile to
Saturn at 3:56 AM tomorrow morning just as Mars also hits a block
wall with a square to the same at 4:16 AM.
It would seem we kind of
float innocuously into this day only to have our raft swept up in a
severe current and dropped into the middle of a storm. Then, things
just start happening and unfurling really quickly. By daybreak, we've
been slammed (raft and all) face down on the beach. What can you do
but hold on and pray in a situation like that? So, yeah. Do that.

After the swirling
happenings of yesterday, we all wake up metaphorically pancake flat
on the beach this morning. Thankfully, the Moon is Void giving us a
bit time to recuperate. The square from Mars to Saturn is still
locked within orb. Mobility may be restricted. Firm boundary and
slow, deliberate movements are indicated. In other words, step small;
but, leave solid footprint. Take care of the necessities.
At 4:24 PM the sun shifts
from Capricorn into Aquarius. Less than an hour later, the Moon
reactivates in Scorpio creating our Last Quarter Moon at 5:15 PM.
The answer is release.
Always under a Last Quarter. Under a Scorpio Moon, what is released
is severed permanently. Under an Aquarius Sun, the cut was precise.
There is excellent opportunity here to severe ties with negative
attachment or malefic personal habits. No matter how you look at it,
though, release and clearing space are highly indicated.

This morning begins under
the Moon in Scorpio sextile to Mercury in Capricorn at 6:16 AM. Folks
may be talking quietly; but, they are talking. Meanwhile, Venus in
Pisces is empowered by way of a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn at 8:53
AM. This is very rich. Turning up Venus power in this way is a
beneficial thing. Venus is lovely in Pisces. She honors all the
higher principles of love, peace and pleasure. In sextile to Pluto in
Capricorn and these principles are given fortitude, Earthly
manifestation and integrity. Of course, like any other type of
energy, there is a low end, too. It comes through by way of
manipulation of power, greed, exhausting resources, denial, death by
addiction....all that. I'll take the high end, please. Essentially,
what we have at this point is a hobbled Mars (from recent past); but,
an empowered Venus. Interesting, no?
We also have now gaining in
prominence within this day an astute mixture of both Pluto (power,
rebirth, regeneration) and Neptune (compassion, empathy, dreams).
Powerfully subtle. If that is a possibility. The Pluto ruled Moon
finds Neptune by trine at 1:51 PM bringing a deep swirl to the
emotional body. There isn't much action happening on the outside.
But, there is a whole heck of a lot going on inside of us. It's all
colored with personal nuance while also littered with speckles of
happenings across the whole of the sea. All of which can, indeed, be
quelled by the power of Venus. Love. Peace. Compassion. Caring.
Empathy. Are you tired of me beating this drum yet? If so, I'll give
you my best Libran answer, “Don't look at me, man. I just work
here. There could be worse options.”
Drift. Dream. Feel the
feels. Love someone. That's not so bad or hard, is it?
Saturday, January 21, 2017
The Scorpio Moon maintained
amicable connection to our skies overnight. She danced with her
ruler, Pluto, by sextile before daybreak (4:45 AM). Her next stop is
a gentle but loving trine with Venus in Pisces at 6:25 AM. It's water
colored but sturdy day.
By lunchtime, our deeply
introspective Moon is trine Chiron in Pisces and on her way to
another trine with Mars in Pisces at 8:26 PM. Flow. Release control.
Relax. Let go. Absolve.
Following the trine with
Mars, the Moon reaches Void status. The rest of the night is severely
quiet as the internal waters continue to churn. The Moon remains Void
until waking back up in Sagittarius tomorrow morning at 5:46 AM
tomorrow.

| but THAT is changing as I type this.. |
This is a great day for very leisurely and relaxing activities. Art and music are greatly highlighted as well as deepening and solidifying existing loving relationships. Since we are dealing with an extraordinary swirl of Pluto and Neptune energy, there is definitely a chance for emotions to be high. Folks will likely be very sensitive. Leaning into self-care efforts in response to this potential is just good practice. Saging, energetic clearances, meditation, dancing, praying all these things are punctuated in high significance all week. Today is no different. Keep at it.
Spending time around water
helps. Staying well hydrated helps. Resting when you need to rest
helps. When faced with a decision in regard to what to do next,
you'll discover that as long as it's done in love..it really doesn't
matter what you do.

This morning the Moon is
active in Sagittarius and in sextile to the Sun in Aquarius at 11:31
AM. This is a much lighter feel than our water colored days under the
Scorpio Moon. Catch your breath. Allow a little optimism to seep
through. Be purposefully optimistic.
This feel carries us through
the rest of the day with no other major aspect coming from the Moon
until 2:38 AM by way of a square to Neptune. Things get continually
squishy overnight and into our Monday. But, for most of the day,
things go rather smoothly. Monopolize upon that.
