We begin today under the
call for a final purge brought forth by the Last Quarter Moon at 5:58
PM. This Quarter is discussed in a little more depth in yesterday's
write up. From here, the Moon is Void until entering Aquarius at 6:53
AM.
In looking at the rest of
the week unfold, I realized that by the weekend much of our sky will
have changed. First, the Sun kicks off the change with his movement
into Taurus at 5:28 PM today. Mercury Rx greets the Sun by
conjunction but falls back into Aries tomorrow at 1:38 PM. Pluto
stations retrograde at 3:41 AM tomorrow. Venus makes her final square
from Pisces to Saturn Rx in Sagittarius on Friday morning just after
Mars shifts from Taurus to Gemini about an hour earlier. To me, those
seem to be fairly astute changes. Mars in Gemini is certainly not
Mars in Taurus. Venus leaving the crunch with Saturn and Chiron is a
relief. Mercury Rx in Taurus is certainly not Mercury Rx in Aries. A
Venus ruled Sun is of course not the same as a Mars ruled Sun. So,
yes. Things get jostled around a little bit. I think most will
welcome that as the feelings of being stuck and wading through mud
dissipates for a little bit. What I find kind of crazy about that is
just as all this change occurs our Solar body enters a realm that is
not necessarily comfortable with change. So, while parts of us
seemingly limber up for a bit, it still may seem a bit unsettling at
first just because it's different.
Today, however, is a lot
about Mercury. The Aquarius Moon meets with him by square just after
day break (8:32 AM). This, along with the Last Quarter, will set the
tone for today. There is some mental pressure and there is also
emotional pressure both that point toward a need to reform thought
and release.
This conflict between the
emotional and mental bodies and persists until the Sun passes into
Taurus and is brought into this Mercurian mix by way of conjunction
to our winged messenger at 1:55 AM. Brains spin. It's likely a
restless night especially if we were prone to over-stimulation during
the day. Plus, as Pluto stations there may still be a feeling of
being stalled to a degree.
The conjunction of the Sun
to Mercury occurs at the genesis of Taurus. From here, Mercury will
head toward Uranus, turn direct and pass over Uranus again. This
conjunction to the Sun is just the beginning of an influx of
information to which the physical body will respond while Mars falls
under Mercury's rule. The Sabian Symbol for tonight's Sun/Mercury
conjunction reads as follows:
Taurus 1: A clear mountain
stream flows through a rocky defile. Dane Rudhyar expands with,
“Purity, excellence and immediate availability of the strength and
power of being. Refreshment. Self-sustainment.”
This does indicate a clear
stream of information/communication flowing between and around
obstacles (rocks). We could hear more talks of leaks of information,
for example. I suspect that any information received will continue to
grow in clarity and perhaps be accompanied by lightning bolts
(shocking revelation) as Mercury nears Uranus. What is clarified
could also have a thing or two to do with Mercury's first pass by
Uranus on March 26. That takes us ALL the way back to the day before
the New Moon in Aries. It's highly probable that we will hear themes
from that time repeat and be given a chance to gain more clarity
about them in an effort to incorporate it into the now as Mercury
stations direct in Aries on May 4th at 24 Aries while
Uranus resides just one degree away at 25. So, I would suspect that
information may flip/flop, come in quickly and with echo as that
occurs. Today is likened to an introduction of that veritable storm.
And, anytime Mercury is activated in such a way it could bear
prominence upon our weather throughout by way of literal storms. I'm
kind of pondering earthquake potential too with the conjunction of
Sun/Mercury occurring in an Earth sign during Pluto's station
retrograde.

Pluto stations retrograde at
3:41 AM at 19 Capricorn 24. I do get a sense of things breaking apart
as I look at this set up. But, it could very well be a break up of
stuck information and mental/emotional stagnation while we are under
the guidance of an Aquarian Moon.

The speed of the brain hits
an uptick following Mercury's conjunction with the Sun yesterday. He
officially heads back to Aries at 1:38 PM. The slow and steady common
sense of Taurus is brought back to us by way of the Sun. But, the
brain and mental body become rather unsettled. The state of Mercury
will increase in importance as Mars shifts into Gemini tomorrow
morning.
The Moon casually lingers in
Aquarius for the most part this morning. Her first aspect is by way
of a windy trine to Jupiter in Libra at 2:52 PM. This, along with the
re-entrance of Mercury into Aries may have tongues wagging. But, the
state of the Moon is inclined toward issues of social justice and
collaboration. Aquarius Moon is not typically known to be overly
aggressive unless there are other factors in a person's chart that
inclines it to such. However, I'm sure there will be much to talk
about today and a lot on folks' minds that they are trying to make
sense of. Many have been subtly withdrawing to a degree from the
areas of being overly mentally engaged. But, there may be impetus to
re-engage in collaborative dialogue here.
On a personal level, this is
a good day to spend in light socialization. We may whisper in small
groups or look for social reprieve from worldly pressures. Any time
Mercury is scattered or punctuated as he is now, it's a good time to
clean and organize in your physical space. This especially true under
a waning Moon. So, spiritually inclined cleaning such as smudging
your personal space can become an outward activity that helps to
organize thought as well. Just don't let your brain get too carried
away just yet. We may have been given hint at the information but the
whole story has yet to be revealed. In other words, it is a good day
to begin the dialogue in regard to whatever concerns may be brought
to the fore for you. However, hold off on making final decisions for
a bit as there is likely more relevant information incoming.

This morning the Moon meets
her ruler, Uranus, by sextile at 6:17 AM. This is an early upstart
energy that likely has us waking spry. Shortly after, Mars leaves
Taurus and enters Gemini. This causes us to be prone to react/respond
to information. However, with Mars in a Air sign we may talk more
about what we think we would do rather than actually do anything.
However, physical action will likely correlate with the state of the
mental body for the duration of this transit.
At 7:10 AM Venus makes her
final official square with Saturn Rx in Sagittarius. There is
pressure here but it is soon resolved. We are given another chance to
assess leaks in the realm of relationships (enabling, pouring love
and heart resource into empty unfillable vessels) and finances prior
to Venus retracing her steps back into Aries. Resources could still
be tight, but they too are likely to begin to loosen the purse
strings following this. Venus is reborn and set free to begin anew
with all the experience she has gleaned thus far in tow. Today is the
beginning of the end of Venus' drag.
The Moon moves on to sextile
her traditional ruler, Saturn, at 11:20 AM offering us stabilization
in the emotional realm and tempting us to regain some optimism in
regard to dealing with the long journey ahead of us. Then, she winds
out the day and her active trek through Aquarius with a sextile to
Mercury Rx in Aries at 2:24 PM. From here she is Void for a little
over an hour until entering Pisces at 3:44 PM.
Now, the Moon in Aquarius
goes out on a logical and semi-stable note. However, her entrance
into Pisces changes the set up. Logic gives way to emotion that is
anything but rational. There is confusion, sentimentality and a
melting of sorts. Her first aspect is a square to Mars in Gemini at
4:15 PM. At this point, we may be unsure of what it is we need to do
next. Mars in Gemini is a multi-tasker and with Moon in Pisces that
task list could seem endless and we could melt in despair over that
or just confusion in regard to information in general. The best bet
is to just take a break. Give the information time to congeal and
resolve. Dismiss and isolate yourself from potential over-stimulation
which is only going to exacerbate confusion and ground. The Pisces
Moon meets our grounding Taurus Sun by sextile at 7:26 PM.
I know. It feels like over
and over again we are getting the message of “hold at bay” or
“not yet” or “don't rush, go slow.” We need our patience but
its been taxed to an excruciating degree. Yet, still, we are prompted
to wait it out and deal with our inner selves in that process. Pay
heed to your physical/emotional needs moreso than letting the demons
of the mind run the show here. Address the personal
(emotional/physical) NEEDS first and after that the information has
more of a chance to clear.
