We are getting zero breaks
from the Mercury/Uranus interplay in Aries this weekend. Yesterday,
Mercury met the God of Lightning by conjunction for a second time. As
the two hold in tight orb (as Mercury is moving RIDICULOUSLY slow)
the Moon in Gemini will pass by them by sextile just after midday
(1:29-2:14 PM EDT). This is good because it is by sextile. However,
it can be quite emotionally affective because we are under a Gemini
ruled Moon. Many may feel there is too much information coming in too
quickly and its hard to keep up. Some may feel frazzled. Others manic
or over-stimulated. However, others still could be flourishing in
this. I feel this is the most unsettling to folks who have heavy
water in their chart. Your mileage may vary on that. But, electric
energy such as this has a tendency to scatter in Water whereas Fire
can put it to use and Earth can ground it out. With heavy Air, the
mental activity uptick is probably a welcomed thing. But, for our
more sensitive watery folks, this ordeal of Mercury/Uranus in Aries
can be quite unsettling and anxious making. Remember, grounding is
your friend. You do have permission to scale back on becoming over
stimulated. I can tell you that if you feel today's Moon sextile
these two in a harsh manner, then buckle up because it gets a little
harrier when the Moon in Cancer squares them on Monday.
How we choose to cope here
is actually fairly important. Mercury and Uranus are pretty wild. So,
sometimes, even while employing effective coping mechanisms it can be
fairly teeth gritting. It's a very impatient and on edge kind of
energy on the low end. Impulsive. Sharp tongued. Yet, it gets
increasingly worse the more we keep allowing ourselves to become
over-stimulated. The number one best way to help offset some of this
is to step away from your electronics and get outside to ground.
Saturn is accessible here by trine. Go for a walk. Sit on the porch.
Satisfy curiosities with a quick day trip. Just be careful and know
folks are kind of edgy right now. And, this “edgy” feel has hang
time. As in, Mercury does not make his 3rd pass to Uranus
until May 10th but he never moves more than a degree away
from Uranus as he stations direct. That is constant mental
stimulation that can quickly lead to overwhelm so knowing when and
how to detach from that and ground it out is going to help. Be very
careful while traveling or driving just because this is an unsettled
and unpredictable type of energy. Many will feel as if they need to
do things quickly and in a rush. But, unless it is an emergency,
definitely take your time as rushing could cause a tendency toward
being accident prone. Eyes on the road. Hands on the wheel.
Definitely watch for others in the way of pedestrians, animals,
motorcyclists, bicyclists, other drivers, etc as the roads will
likely be a fairly busy place. Use less densely populated routes when
possible. Also, don't forget our actions are answering to this energy
as Mars is in the Mercury ruled sign of Gemini.
After the Moon passes by
Mercury and Uranus by sextile, she moves on to square Chiron and
oppose Saturn prior to reaching Void status. The outlet for that
mutable t-square falls in Virgo..another Mercury ruled sign. The
Gemini Moon is curious and with wide eyes is prone to try to catch
all the lightning bolts from Mercury/Uranus flitting from one topic
to the next, while employing Virgo helps us ground some of that out.
Saturn to Chiron calls for well structured coping mechanisms and says
there is absolutely no room for denial of Chironic issues. They must
be dealt with and Virgo is the energy that can help with that. But,
it will call for Virgo's prowess in the realm of triage and
separating the wheat from the chaff. Figure out what it is that is
coming in by way of information that bears true importance to you.
Gemini will try to drink it all in. While Virgo says, “Nope. Don't
need this, or that, or this.” She will focus according to matter of
importance instead of trying to spread herself too thin. As we weed
through the information putting it into proper priority and
perspective then it is much easier to deal with what we need to deal
with in a more grounded and forthright manner. The need to ground
remains essential at this time. This is not easy energy to sit still
with.
The Moon remains Void until
entering Cancer at 9:49 PM. Her first aspect is an uncomfortable
square to her cohort Venus in Aries at 11:00 PM. There could be a bit
of ambiguity between want and need or there could be a small burr
under our saddles that makes it hard to settle down to rest tonight.
The effects do not last long, though. Besides, under a Mercury/Uranus
sky such as this, if you are resting at all consider that a cherished
miracle. It is VERY easy to become scattered and unfocused under this
sky. Take your time and don't let this energy make you feel as if
everything needs to be done all it once...however...know it WILL try.
We all have potential for very itchy trigger fingers and sharp
tongues right now.

As the Moon moves forward
into Cancer, things do have a chance to settle down a bit as she
meets our Taurus Sun by grounding sextile (3:20 PM). Most are more
inclined to shut the door on the outside world and attempt to foster
a bit of a reprieve from the chaos found there...which is certainly
not a bad idea. This does look good for good food and cherished
family. Unless, you've got tensions happening there and in that case
it might be better to just dine alone until that pot simmers down a
bit. But, good food and non-abrasive company are the way to go with
this. If you are feeling particularly abrasive then it might be a
good time to call a personal time out with no company at all.
Saturn finds Chiron by
square for the second time at 4:41 PM calling us in toward employing
effective coping mechanisms and ditching denial for complete
acceptance and awareness works well here. These coping mechanism are
self-employed. As Saturn is Rx the disciplining of such is on our own
shoulders and it involves solid boundary and grounding. We deal in
the way that works for us best while realizing what works for us may
not work for everyone.
The Moon does move on to
trine Neptune which can bring some relief to the angst. However, as
aspects between the Moon and Neptune can increase empathy, it could
also make it easier for us to pick up on the angst from the rest of
the world. Detach. Withdraw. Take a break and ground for best
results. Drink plenty of water and let the rest of the world deal
with their stuff while you deal with your own. By 11:23 PM, the Moon
begins to move through the Cardinal Crunch with a square to Jupiter.
This is where emotionality can become overblown. We could be skewing
perspective and need to step back a bit. However, it can compound
GOOD feelings too. So, how this plays out will have a lot to do with
how well you handled yourself in the meat of today.
Monday is a May Day that
holds true to its name. Except, I don't see it as much as a joyful
circling around the May Pole May Day as much as I see it as an
emergency call kind of May Day. So, that makes attempts at resting
and detaching from outside stimulation today an imperative. This will
be edgy and going into that tired on top of that is really bad deal.
Keep that in mind and take things slow and easy while veering away
from over-stimulation and distraction. Ground and boundary. Ground
and boundary. The pique of the “fireworks” with this comes as the
Moon squares Mercury and Uranus tomorrow between about 2:35 PM EDT
and 4:23 PM prior to the Moon reaching Void status only to usher us
into the pressure of the First Quarter Moon which perfects on
Tuesday. The banjo strings will be pulled tight and many may feel as
if they are walking on eggshells. It is quite edgy and definitely
bearing emotional impact. So, again, rest up and steady yourself ahead of
that.
