March is rolling in like a
lion in my next of the woods as thunder booms across the skies and
much of my area is under a flood warning. The old saying goes, “April
showers bring May flowers.” And while that may be true, it seems as
if the seasons, here, have awoken extraordinarily early. Crab apple
and tulip trees began blooming in late February under record high
temperatures, for example. At any rate, the weather in my world
currently matches the planetary set up we have for today.
The Moon in Aries is quite
stressed this morning as she wakes up to Pluto darkening her doorstep
by square at 7:50 AM. On a mundane end, this can create a strong
hunger this morning. A hearty breakfast is indicated to ensure our
energy levels and sufficiently supported. On a lower end, this can
cause paranoia and fear or greed and attempts at emotional
manipulation. Many fear the energy of storms. Such as my red Aries
dachshund who is lying next to me under her security blanket
shivering so fiercely that she is shaking my keyboard. Others feed
from this energy and are in turn fueled themselves. It is all in how
you approach fear.
By 1:28 PM the Moon is
conjunct Uranus while also opposing Jupiter (1:44 PM). This is energy
that can be wildly unstable. Feelings of paranoia can become
exacerbated by way of anxiety. However, balancing out the polarity is
the best way to go. The Moon conjunct Uranus aims for (at her highest
expression) emotional authenticity, awareness and intelligence. It is
able to identify appropriately “I feel ___.” Moon opposite
Jupiter is wise, humble and fair at the high end. It knows how to
self-care and redirect more sharp emotions. On the low end it is
selfish and potentially aggrandized. All three of these entities are
also within orb of amicable relations with Saturn. So, the energy can
be boundaried and stabilized. Grounding is highly beneficial.
Other good uses of this
energy include a willingness to try new things and perhaps share our
experiences with friends. It's near lunchtime. So, perhaps gather
together at a restaurant you've never tried before. It's also
wonderful for sporting events and activities. Perhaps a quick protein
bar and a stop at the gym for lunch could also fit the bill.
Physically moving around can offset some of the potential angst of
this energy. It's also a good idea to veer away from over-stimulation
by way of media or caffeine/sugar intake to lessen the potential of
shaky anxiety. Of course there is also a chance for head aches as
well.
The absolute low end of this
energy is very reactive, impulsive and may allow emotions to become
overblown which could lead to rash actions. The more well grounded
you are and the more you deliberately move around to discharge some
of this, the more easily it is handled.
By 4:49 PM, the Moon is all
heated up with a conjunction to Mars. Again, move. Take your anger to
the mat, the gym, the punching bag. Channel it into
productivity...which again is possible as Saturn is within reach.
Anger can be channeled into motivation which can convert to progress.
Adhering to matters of
personal health and well-being, checking off chores on our lists and
disallowing this somewhat electric energy to provoke us into
upsetting our own apple cart while channeling it toward adventure,
new experience, exploration and/or productivity is going to appease
our final aspect of the day and lead to rest within a feeling of
personal satisfaction. The Moon officially finds Saturn by stable
trine at 9:19 PM. From here, she is Void until entering the realm of
Taurus at 2:43 AM.
Meanwhile, the Sun waxes
toward a conjunction with Neptune throughout the day (9:44 PM). We
will need our boundaries as this aspect can cause us to be more
sensitive/empathic. However, adventures in creativity by way of
music, artistic expression, meditation and fluid movement is a
wonderful expression. This can be a calming factor when properly
boundaried. On the low end, folks are not as they appear. We
entertain both angels and demons unaware. Pay heed to your intuition
as it will likely be on point throughout.
One metaphor that comes to
mind is a ballerina performing in a thunderstorm. There is chaos
around her but she focuses upon her art, dancing and twirling between
raindrops. Skilled performers can do this. That is what we are called
to be in relation to our emotional body and physical actions. Grace,
balance and focus while under stress or distraction is called for.

This morning, the Moon moves
into Taurus. Yet, we still have angst in the background as Jupiter
and Uranus officially form opposition at 8:23 PM. The Moon linked
this up somewhat early yesterday. As a result, we were prone to
engage in one form or another. Today, the emotional body is more
settled and steadfast. She begins her journey in Taurus with a
sextile to Mercury in Pisces at 5:49 PM.
The Sun remains softened due
his proximity to Neptune. He is also waxing toward a sextile with
Pluto as the Moon seeks to connect with all three. Mercury is tracing
the Sun's steps in an effort to catch up.
The Moon makes this
connection with Neptune by sextile at 10:27 PM, then the Sun by the
same just after midnight.
This is creative clay. A
wonderful opportunity to manifest beautiful visions into tangible
form. It is stable but gentle. Plus, the opposition between Jupiter
and Uranus can kick start inventiveness and ingenuity. There is still
balance to be called for in that regard but the cows are imbued with
fluidity. Perhaps, they are more sea cows...or dancing hippos more
than the common barn yard cow.
Gently accept the unusual.
Use the energy as inspiration. Shape the clay. Open the door to
empathic yet stable communications. Work to make dreams a reality.
Shield from distraction, potentials at over-stimulation and any doubt
that may be brought to you by someone else chiding you with “That's
never been done before” or “That's not possible.” Just because
it hasn't been done yet doesn't mean we cannot try or that we cannot
succeed.

This morning, determination
is the theme. We wake up to the Taurus Moon in trine to Pluto in
Capricorn. Many have their heels dug into their own agenda and their
own sense of what is important. Trying to get folks to budge is a
fruitless effort today.
Many stubbornly hold their
ground. It's a good day to mind your own business while paying
gratitude to the more simple blessings/comforts we may often
overlook. Venus, the ruler of our current Moon, is
immobile..vibrating in her station preparing to retrograde in the
morning officially at 4:02 AM. The values we stand so steadfastly
upon today are soon to be up for review.
Venus, value systems,
matters of self-worth, stability and what we feel is important will
be cast like broken jewelry into the smelting pot and eventually
recast into something stronger. The hot castings are thrown
underwater as Venus retrogrades back to her exalted position in
Pisces while also squaring Saturn. Following this veritable baptism,
she is reborn. We stand on the precipice of this now.
Take note of what important
to you today. Be prepared to re-visit past relationships in an effort
to glean wisdom and new perspective. Note the simplest blessings and
pay them homage...since just as the Universe giveth...she can also
take away.
Following a gentle gut check
with Chiron by sextile at 7:05 PM, our Taurus Moon is Void. She
remains Void until entering Gemini tomorrow morning at 5:07 AM. Venus
turns retrograde in Aries at 4:02 AM. Tomorrow calls for a less
steadfast and set in stone stance. We will need to be flexible.
Gentle stretching exercises is a literal way to help prepare you for
this.
Mercury is also headed
toward his own conjunction with Neptune in the morning. Know that
information may be deliberately skewed, veiled or we could be
misunderstanding. Ask for clarification before incorporating the
message. Watch non-verbal communication for “tells” or more cues
about the message trying to be delivered. Fact check. Be careful of
the potential at hydroplaning and other weather related issues while
traveling.
But, for today, stand
strong. Note the simple things. Mind your own business and, if you
can, indulge yourself with whatever it is that facilitates comfort
and joy.
