Overview
The Universe plays mind
games with us throughout the end of this week. Thankfully, though,
most of it happens while the Moon is in Aquarius allowing us to rise
above some of the more swirling emotions and become “wise” to
what is really going on. Basically what is happening is Mercury/Pluto
is going to show you things in the way that you speak, think and
communicate that need to be reformed. It may show us
thoughts/mentalities that need to be ditched or purged entirely. We
will learn more about our fears and be given opportunity to face them
bravely with the intention of handling them more effectively. We will
also learn how the ways we express ourselves has been hampered by our
perceptions of expectation and the folks we surround ourselves. The
goal? To help us think more independently. To help us find a more
authentic voice while realizing initiating with purely selfish
motivations will only get us so far. However, networking with folks
with similar agendas can help us further our own. Plus, we become
astutely aware of where pockets of outdated mentalities lie and where
words are used for mere selfish or manipulative purposes. All in
preparation for our opportunity to begin again under the incoming New
Moon in Aries. Remember, we are still releasing here. So, as this
stuff emerges know that it needs to be released...not grasped. Take
the awareness and the wisdom but leave what you don't need anymore to
burn up in the fire.

Overnight the Moon in
Capricorn endured pressure from our Cardinal planets. This morning,
we wake up to her leaving her square with Jupiter in Libra and
entering her square with Uranus (9:20 AM). This can kick start
feelings of anxiety and a feeling of having to rush. We can alleviate
that by purposely grounding and steering ourselves away from things
that threaten to exacerbate these conditions. Such as increasing
water intake, decreasing stimulant intake physically and mentally
(reduce sugar/caffeine and exposure to the constant stream of media
which can lead to over-stimulation). We are also called to detach
from emotional issues and logically assess how to appropriately deal
with these...rise above them in an effort to increase emotional
intelligence. We are also reminded of the need of pause so we can
properly direct any flight/fight response and instead RESPOND to
external stimuli appropriately thus eliminating or defeating the knee
jerk or overly reactive/impulsive response. Mindfulness becomes very
important especially when you remember the condition of Mercury in
Aries who continues to wax into this crunch.
Following the square with
Uranus, we've plenty of time to let the dust settle as the Moon
reaches Void status until entering a more cooled state with her
transition into Aquarius at 10:29 PM. So, we had storms (metaphorical
or literal) through the night that extended into the morning. Then,
the Moon goes Void allowing us to deal with whatever we need to deal
with in the aftermath of that in a way that the emotional system is a
little less reactive.
The day, as a whole, is good
for addressing projects that need to be wrapped up. Finishing up
tasks. Continual efforts at clearing out and letting go in
preparation for our New Moon in Aries. Spiritual cleansing and
organizing/cleaning physical environments are also good tasks.
Otherwise, we move rather mundanely through the day taking care of
what we need to take care of one little task at a time.
Also, observe your thoughts
during the Void Moon. Mercury is still busy. But, while the Moon is
Void we are less emotionally reactive which can help us assess what
we may need to deal with in terms of the ways we communicate, think,
learn, etc. His first aspect in the passage through this Cardinal
crunch is a square to Pluto which perfects tomorrow night. So, this
Void Moon is a good time to observe any fears that may come up.
Paranoia. Thoughts of not having enough resource. Anything Pluto may
pull from your brain can be noted in a rather dispassionate and
logical way in preparation for the Moon to click back on later
tonight as that Mercury/Pluto square continues to wax in. We can
release, purge, reform these mental issues as we become aware of
them.

Early this morning, the Sun
and Moon met by a lovely fire/air sextile at 3:58 AM. This feels
hopeful and forward moving. Plus, it allows the emotional system and
the ego body to get on similar paths. They aren't fighting one
another here. At 10:07 AM the supportive energy between Aquarius and
Aries continues with a lunar sextile to Venus Rx in Aries. This
energy is great for assessing the groups/teams we are currently
involved in and assessing whether our personal values still align
with the initiatives of those groups. It can also bring compliments
from friendly entities as well as encouragement. Further, after we do
these assessments and decide whether the groups we are in are still
supportive we can begin to decide how to monopolize and network
within those groups in an effort further both our agenda and theirs.
It's an easy and supportive flow of energy we have on tap here.
By 5:21 PM the Moon is
square to Mars in Taurus. There is likely a block to be noticed here.
There is a routine that likely needs to be updated, changed or
altered. Of course, Mars in Taurus isn't going to like that. And, the
emotional body may get frustrated due a perceived lack of motivation.
In that, remember you are dealing with Mars in Taurus who works on
momentum and incentive. You don't have to turn the train around on a
dime and start off in a new direction. All you have to do is think
about your first step toward change and build from there. You are
also going to want to remind yourself of the benefits of the change
you need to further entice Mars. Don't worry about the whole
staircase in other words. Look at taking the first step toward
releasing habits that no longer support you and reward yourself for
taking that step. THEN, focus upon the next step and build on the
momentum while reaping the rewards.
In a mundane sense, there
could be conflict between a need for innovation/change and folks who
would like for things to just stay how they are. In that situation,
to avoid a deadlock, negotiate with the person wearing concrete shoes
by presenting small steps and incentive just as you would address
this situation within yourself. Show them how the change may benefit
them, in other words and welcome small steps instead of expecting
everything to change RIGHT NOW. Chances are the way into that problem
wasn't an overnight trip. Therefore, the path out or toward change is
going to take longer than one day. Small steps in the right direction
matter as long as you keep your eye on that ultimate goal and keep
walking toward it...no matter how long it takes.
As you do this, Pluto is
going to pull things from your brain into prominence with his square
to Mercury. Paranoia and fear that needs to be addressed. Mental
traps that need to be released and transformed. Old ways of thinking
that need to be ditched and sloughed off. You can't address these
things if you don't know what they are. So, Pluto square Mercury's
job is to show them to us in an undeniable way. Through pressure.
Through crises. Through the sneaky venues that the Universe always
has a tendency to poke at. These are to make you aware. Plus, the
power of Mercury square Pluto at it's highest also gives us the
ability to fearlessly inspect and face down these issues. This aspect
perfects at 8:43 PM at 19 degrees Cardinal.
The Sabian symbols for this
aspect read as follows:
For Pluto at 20 Capricorn:
Through the empty church, the choir is heard rehearsing.
For Mercury at 20 Aries: A
young girl feeding swans in a park on a wintry day.
The Capricorn symbol denotes
practice in preparation for the choirs performance. The church sits
empty right now. Yet the sound of their preparations echoes in the
halls. Meanwhile, a lone girl feeds swans. She is nurturing and
providing protection to birds (Mercury=air) who will eventually fly
off. Nothing is launching yet. But, Mercury and Pluto are preparing
for the launch by showing us things in our mental/communication
systems that need to be reformed or more well practiced/fed in
preparation for that launch.
The day continues under this
theme. With the Moon in Aquarius, we are able to address these issues
from a detached and cool emotional perspective and an inclination
toward change that supports a more free and independent future.
Ditching fears or proactively addressing them helps us achieve
freedom from those fears.
In the collective, though,
we may see others who use words of forcefulness and press issues of
manipulative power and subversion. These are collective mentalities
that need to be addressed being brought to our attention. So,
listen...but, maintain your ability to focus on self and don't allow
yourself to be persuaded or tempted by the forceful voices you might
hear squalling throughout the day. Note the sources of these
forceful, power abusing, manipulative and slimy voices, though. These
demons show themselves so we can know where the pockets of infection
reside. Note them. But, don't let them scare you into submission.
Rise above and circumvent the threats.

This morning, the Moon still
resides and is active in Aquarius. Meanwhile, Mercury finds Jupiter
in Libra by opposition at 8:46 AM. This brings the elements of fire
and air together while also exercising the me/we axis. What we think
versus how that fits into the philosophy we hold in the realm of
relationships and the expectations perceived there. We may hear
echoes from past relationships and be given opportunity to assess how
our mental maturity has developed since then (or not). We may meet
old school or college friends presenting more opportunity to do so.
We may also be given a chance to see how we've allowed these entities
to influence our thinking and the ways in which we communicate. We
are given opportunity to find a more true and wise voice by assessing
all this. We are also pointed toward the fact that none of us are
islands. We are networked in relationships and what we say and how we
say it affects those. We may be shown how to use negotiation and
compromise in an effort to come to common ground while not silencing
ourselves (or leaving our independent concerns out of it). Balancing
the me/we axis in this way helps us better communicate among groups
by engaging in a new way of communication that bears into
consideration what has or has not worked in the past. Folks will be
called out on forceful and selfish speech and opinions. We may be
called out for being brash, impolite or non-inclusive in our speech.
A the same time, we are encouraged to continue thinking independently
while realizing it's not only OUR thoughts that matter.
Yesterday's Mercury/Pluto
square likely brought out poisons into a public format and that will
definitely meet with judgment today. As in, if someone makes a wildly
paranoid or derogatory statement on social media or in a public
forum, they'll be called on it today. Justice is swift. This will be
especially true if said person is in some kind of position of
authority, leader or other kind of influential position.
By 12:04 PM the wind picks
up as our Aquarius Moon meets Jupiter in Libra by trine. Liberty and
justice FOR ALL! With the residual effect of bringing prominence to
trusted friends and networks while bring a bit of an uplift to our
mood as well. Any feelings of oppression aren't going to cut it under
this Moon. Folks want to be free and unencumbered. We will be more
prone to release restriction than to adhere to it and we've got a
gathering of support and like minded folks to help us push those
common agendas.
By 12:36 PM the Moon meets
Mercury in Aries by sextile giving collective movements a voice and
bringing power in numbers (groups, teams, advocating entities). On a
personal level, we feel more free to say exactly what we are thinking
for better or worse. This is followed by another freedom and
independence stirring aspect by way of a lunar sextile to her current
ruler, Uranus in Aries at 6:03 PM. Change. Innovation. A desire for
new experience and new methods for old problems come strongly en
vogue. It's a restless energy so many will be prone to move around
today reaching out gently for the new in further preparation for our
New Moon.
We end the day and the Moon
reaches Void status by way of a stabilizing sextile to her
traditional ruler, Saturn in Sagittarius 1:57 AM. As we sleep, these
new ideas, new experiences and the fresh new spaces we open as a
result of our clearance efforts become integrated into our path
forward. Solidified and rectified within our emotional systems
showing us how we can incorporate all this change into the future.
There's a certainty and satisfaction that comes with this letting us
know we are on the right track. The Moon remains Void until entering
Pisces at 6:07 AM tomorrow morning. So, get good and settled; but,
expect the tides to rise as we greet the last phase of this Moon
which will call us to flush our systems as clean as we can get them
before embarking on our new Aries adventure.
