This morning the Moon is
Void until Libra all morning until entering Scorpio at 11:11 AM. The
void Moon likely offers a welcomed reprieve after yesterday's
Cardinal pressure not to mention Sun conjunction Chiron (as the Moon
passed by inconjunct).
As the Moon sinks into
Scorpio, feelings become more intense. We may brood or seethe. Or we
may sulk. The highest expression has us analyzing our feelings,
though, Mercury in Aries is not really prone to lie around on a couch
and talk about such things. As a matter of fact, deeply swirling
feelings can exacerbate the rocket mouth syndrome of Mercury. Be
careful not to lash out just because you may feel like a wounded
animal. However, know that assertive communication in the realm of
something that may NEED to be addressed, is a good expression of this
energy. The problem with that lies in the private nature of the Moon
itself. Yet, holding this stuff in is not really the best idea. There
is a chance for anger to be directed at self
here...internalized...which is a lot like drinking corrosive acid. Be
mindful of your approach or retreat to lick your wounds. In one way,
it sounds a lot like angry heavy metal music or grunge rock. In
another, its just screaming.
The Moon's first major
aspect is an opposition to Mars in Taurus (7:38 PM). This is, of
course, antagonistic. We are driven to do something but the emotional
body detracts from that. Which means, we should start by addressing
our softer body needs first and build from there...if we feel like
it. The incoming trine from the Moon to Neptune (11:25 AM, tomorrow)
may end up defeating our motivations all together. Sweat lodges work
well here. As well as hot yoga or anything else that gives a gentle
outlet for rage or anger. We want to think along the lines of
purification. Removing impurities and poisons from our system. This
sky shows us exactly where they are.
We are
melting...melting...and folding into ourselves at the same time.
Expelling our rage over it as we do. It is likely a day that holds a
mixture of emotionality and frustration. The Sun is still within orb
of Chiron while also waxing into square with Saturn which is due to
perfect on Friday. Ouchy. Pressurized. Brooding. Maybe we all need to
just take a break.

This morning the Moon spends
most of the day in trine to Neptune at 11:25 AM. We are still in full
melt but today feels more like the part where we nurse an emotional
hangover. Do you know the feeling? It's like waking up the day after
something horrible happened trying to convince yourself it was all a
bad dream. But, your eyes are still swollen from the crying. Your
throat still hurts from the screaming. And, it is likened to the feel
of a dull gong on the inside of your head.
Today is watery and folks
are best left to themselves in an effort to deal with the details of
what is unfolding on a personal level. Mercury in Aries still wants
to scream or jump in the car and drive away from his problems. Please
be careful if you do this. We are emotionally distracted...and...the
highway don't care, man. Please, be gentle with yourself.
Overnight, the Moon does
ground a bit as she sinks into a sextile with Pluto in Capricorn.
Boundaries strengthen a little. With rest, we can become somewhat
restored. However, the potential for deep and penetrating emotions is
high throughout the day. Unfortunately, the barometer for such stays
high for the duration of this lunar passage in Scorpio. Drink plenty
of water. Get plenty of rest. Seek professional help by way of
counseling/emergency assistance, if you feel as if it is too much for
you to handle on your own. Yes, there is chance of exacerbation of
emotional/mental health issues. There are times when it may feel like
walking on eggshells while around others. Folks are raw. Emotional.
Wrung out. Be gentle (again) with yourself and give folks plenty of
space.

Essentially, what I feel is
happening is likened to our emotional systems being put through one
of those old timey wringer washers. The New Moon in Pisces eclipse
ripped a hole open in the fabric of the subconscious. Mercury's
passage by Chiron and Saturn would have given us insight into these
personal “demons” if we were brave enough to listen. The Sun's
passage through this same aspect pattern works to show us how those
“demons” have played a role (and may continue to play a role) in
regard to how we express ourselves or how we may shade parts of
ourselves from public view. The Full Moon in Virgo put severe
punctuation on this and started the wringer running over our hearts.
What can I say? Virgo likes clean laundry. But, the process of
getting it that way is anything but pleasant.
Though crying and veritably
“pressing this stuff out” is not an activity that folks enjoy, it
can be very cleansing if you allow it to happen. Yet, in a world that
does not give credence to the importance of emotional
health...well...all this may go widely unsupported. We may feel
guilty for feeling in the first place which can make processing this
stuff personally torturous. Not to mention the fact that it does not
feel productive as it happens. We are a society built around the
value of being able to produce. But, darlings, you are worth so much
more than that. Our softer bodies matter. They color in everything
that we do. Now, it seems as if the Universe is giving us no choice
but to face down this stuff. Yet, many will continue to fight it or
try to escape it only to end up exacerbating their problems in the
end.
Today, the process of
squeezing our emotional systems continues. It's already been a long
week.
This morning the Moon still
resides in the depths of Scorpio. She did pass by Pluto by sextile
overnight that may have offered a little restoration in that realm.
Yet, today, she waxes toward a trine with Chiron (12:39 PM)...a sore
spot recently exacerbated by Mercury, the Full Moon in Virgo and the
Sun. This does allow space for healing; but, it involves delving into
those deeper and darker spaces with purposeful intention to cleanse
and purify it. It's a vulture-like energy that, in essence, pukes
this stuff up with that “purification” effort in mind. Pleasant?
No. Worthy? Yes. But, not easy. There is no shame in asking for help
or seeking safe refuge.
Meanwhile, the Pisces Sun
gets hammered by way of a square to Saturn at 5:48 PM. Now, in some
instances, this can actually be a welcomed sense of dry land in an
endless floating sea. But, not many take kindly to Saturn's
restrictions and regulations. He's a hard dude to make friends with
and coming at us by square, this is something forced and not
necessarily chosen. It's like being kicked when you are already
down...you know? It holds us personally accountable for things
negatively Neptunian...denial, lying, projection, bias, misplaced
empathy, lack of boundary, lack of acceptance. The higher function of
this has us grabbing the wheel at the helm of the ship and steering
fearlessly into the storm or tasked with maintaining our space in the
eye. Sounds easy enough...but, it cumbersome. None of this is “easy.”
The Moon makes a very watery
trine with the Sun in Pisces at 5:57 PM. She enters Void status from
here until crossing into Sagittarius at 11:00 PM. Tomorrow, Mercury
catches up with Venus Rx by conjunction at 8:27 AM at 10 Aries: A
scholar creates new forms of ancient symbols.
The rewinding of Venus has information for us in an effort to help us
form a different opinion/perspective on past happenings in the realm
of love, money and personal value. It reminds me of a run in with a
former middle school boyfriend who told me (20 some years later) that
the reason he started avoiding me (back then) was because I seemed so
self-assured it scared him. Now, I thought this was funny because
I've never been self-assured. In middle school, I was particularly
self-conscious because I felt like an awkward lumberjack. However, it
did help me re-frame perspective since prior to his explanation I
just thought my general grossness scared him away. It wouldn't be
unusual to receive information likened to this. Either way, keep your
ears open for that. We could also run across old love letters. In
that instance, if it stirs up old or bad memories...feel free to grab
a match. This is an excellent set up for purging old negative
energetic attachments from our physical surroundings in our continual
efforts to learn what we can but wipe the slate clean.
