This morning we wake up with
the Moon in Pisces leaving her overnight conjunction with Neptune and
moving in to sextile Pluto. This could equate to a night of deep and
restorative rest last night. On the low end, though, it could have
been tearful or even caused nightmares. Yet, the sextile with Pluto
is not harsh and could essentially bring emotional grounding and
restoration...plus a bit more focus.
By Noon, the Moon is square
Mars in Gemini and motivations could be confused or scattered. This
could also cause disagreements over what to do or just in general.
Remember that the Moon is waning if you are having trouble setting
priorities. This is a time to wind down tasks and clear out space
over and above starting anything brand new. As you clear out space
and wipe out your task list, begin to imagine all the things you can
fill that Void with in the future as you contemplate your intentions
for our incoming New Moon in Gemini on the 25th. Also,
with Moon squares, I'm inclined to advise folks to follow the
guidance of the Moon...yours or the one in transit. In this instance,
there may be much to do standing off with the fact we are tired or
feel like withdrawing. The Moon points to what you need. If you are
tired, you need rest. Follow that, as an example.
Speaking of Gemini, the Sun
moves into the sign at 4:31 PM EDT today. This brings Taurus season
to a close and we may begin to feel lighter and more flexible. Gemini
is always the sign that I equate to butterflies, elves (especially
Gemini rising...they have this elven quality to them) and the ability
to laugh...even if it's by the hands of it's own trickster qualities.
At 11:40 PM the Moon squares
Saturn and then meets Chiron by conjunction at 2:57 AM. Being able to
accomplish something, even if it is small, will help to ease the
tension of that square. Boundaries are a beautiful thing and they are
invoked here. With the conjunction to Chiron, we may be given
awareness of hidden biases or addictions that we need to work to
shore up and rectify. These are important issues to address because
our ability to cope and accept these Chironic issues will be tested
when Saturn turns direct and squares Chiron once more. That's way out
in the future...but still a task we have on tap that needs to be an
ongoing affair.
Overall, today is good for
spiritual cleanings, Hoodoo baths, saunas, detoxes and finishing up
projects already in progress. It's good for more leisurely affairs
too in so far as searching for new information/ideas that may birth
inspiration...especially in the creative realm. Saturn and Uranus are
still in trine, so learning and incorporating some of the new and
innovative ideas that Uranus in Aries has brought forth is also good
exercise. Plus, we can focus in on building boundary and security
around these new innovations (particularly in the realm of
technology) while setting personal standards for their use. It's time
to start incorporating all this rapid advancement in a responsible
way. Saturn/Uranus also values efforts taking toward a social agenda,
establishing authenticity and even upcycling/recycling. So, in your
clearance efforts, before you just throw something away to fill the
dump, check to see if it can be recycled or inspect items to see if
they can be renovated for an entirely new purpose.
Scattered motivations and
the potential for irritability will be the big players. However,
after the Sun enters Gemini, some of that could dissipate and, as I
said, we could feel a little more flexible and light. The Moon is
Void after she crosses Chiron by conjunction until entering Aries at
6:12 AM tomorrow morning.

The Moon enters Aries early
this morning shifting the emotional realm from dreamy, empathic and
perhaps overly emotional to being more prone to be out and active.
Her first aspect is a nice and light sextile with our Sun newly in
Gemini at 7:13 AM. This feels pretty good! Save the potential for
crazy weather (which does have potential in a few areas), it's a good
day to venture out and be active. It's also fairly social and favors
making new friends.
That social atmosphere is
backed by a lunar opposition to Jupiter at 5:39 AM tonight. This is
another “get together” aspect (as it waxes in our evening hours)
that wants you to remember not to leave yourself out. That means,
don't over-accommodate, don't compromise yourself or your priorities
and don't pretend to be something you are not just to go along and
get along. Balance out the polarity between self and other. Besides
that, reach out to trusted friends and enjoy the light and mobile
potential here. Since the opposition officially perfects overnight in
the time zones I address, dreams may also bring visits from
friends/loved ones who have passed over or just be active/vivid in
general.

The Moon remains active in
Aries this morning. Her first aspect is a warm embrace by conjunction
with Venus at 10:10 AM. This is nice. Gentle. Likely active. It's
also great for self-care and doing what you need to do in order to
appease and honor your physical body. It can be competitive...but, it
doesn't have to be. It can also be mutually supportive. Meaning, you
aren't in a race here. Support others as they chase their ambitions
and by doing so you will attract folks that support you in the same
way.
I mention the competition
factor because at 2:45 PM, the Moon passes by Pluto by square. Plus,
Venus is headed that way for the same thing soon. The Venus/Pluto
square waxes now but is due to perfect just before the New Moon in
Gemini on the 25th.
For the Moon/Pluto square we
may see grappling for resources, attempts at emotional manipulation
particularly through shaming and use of guilt and other subservient
emotional tactics. However, used at the highest and it allows us to
face off with our fears, learn to build better and stronger emotional
boundaries and to pierce below the surface of the psyche in order to
better understand what it is under the hood driving this machine.
Expect that not everyone will take the high road and will instead be
jealous, forceful, controlling...not that you have to put up with
that. Just be wary of the potential and steer yourself away from that
if needed.
For Venus square Pluto, on
the low end is jealousy or abuses in the realm of finances (even
birthing substantial debt) or an over attachment to the material
realm are possible. Whenever I see Venus/Pluto in harsh aspect, I
often think of vampires and past relationships coming back in to
haunt or tempt us. Plus, when Pluto is around temptation is always a
factor. Low end Venus/Pluto can suck your materials and life force
right out of you. While high end expressions can cause the well to
overflow. If you run into old lovers and it's less than a savory
affair, look for what you might be missing in the way of lessons and
unfinished business. Also look for ways you might unwittingly leave
that channel open. As this aspect waxes in and the Moon wanes, it's a
good time to deliberately take effort to release yourself from more
negative attachments that involve matters of the heart and finances.
Shore up leaks and cut the cord on non-supportive or
draining/controlling relationships. Also, remain aware of waste and
the need to be accountable for such. This includes efforts at
upcycling and recycling as well as being a conscientious consumer.
Use your spending power wisely and mindfully.
At 6:37 PM, the Moon dances
with Mars in Gemini. These two energies between Aries and Gemini have
a tendency to get on marvelously. Again, it's light and active. Great
for dancing and socialization or fits well with the ongoing wind down
of things we have left on our task list that need completion prior to
the New Moon.
Overnight, the Moon will
conjunct Uranus (3:00 AM) and trine Saturn in Sagittarius (2:16 AM).
There's a type of satisfaction that comes with the ability to live
authentically and remain personally aware of and accountable for
ourselves. If you are not on par with this, you might feel quite
unsettled...that's your cue to deliberately make changes or
adjustments. Otherwise, it's a fairly stable thing that could have us
dreaming of all the wonderfulness we can create from our strong, well
boundaried and authentic space.
Following the conjunction
with Uranus, the Moon is Void until entering Taurus at 8:33 AM in the
morning.
Tuesday, May 23, 2017
The Moon shifts gears and
enters Taurus at 8:33 AM. This is more stable and grounded than what
we experienced with the Aries Moon. But, also more stubborn and less
flexible. It's good for plodding and setting a slower pace than
Gemini Mars may be comfortable with. Plus with Venus waxing toward
Pluto and just leaving her opposition with Jupiter, some may be
inclined toward big purchases. As long as it fits in your budget, go
for it. Plus, mindful and purposeful purchases is a nice expression
of Venus/Pluto. Just make sure you are getting what you paid for and
remember to check for quality and potential return on investment.
The Moon does meet Mercury
by conjunction at 10:14 PM. Other than that we have the Taurus Moon
in all her splendor save a minor aspect from Mars. The night favors
routine and practicality. To enhance sleep, a nice warm bath, a
massage or a little sweet snack before bedtime may help. Yet, Taurus
loves the good sheets especially after they've come freshly from the
wash along. Add that with a little sachet or spritz of lavender and
you've got Taurean kryptonite my friend. You'll sleep like a child.
