The New Moon has occurred.
Now, we take our first few fledgling steps under this new cycle which
has quite a few hairpin turns and rocky territories. We are in the
final Moon phase prior to the ecliptic. There will likely be
shake-ups on our way there. Today, though, things remain fairly low
key.
We still have the richness
of Venus trine Pluto which perfected overnight. Put to use,
deliberately, the high powers of attraction and manifestation under
this trine. My advice for Venus/Pluto natives is usually the same.
Amongst that advice there are two points that are important to
remember. 1) Be careful where you point that stuff and 2) you have
tremendous power of heart..be wary of those who only have interest in
suckling from that teat. Venus/Pluto, as I said, has very strong
powers of attraction. To deliberately use it you want to make sure
you are focusing on drawing in things you want instead of drawing in
what you are worrying about. Either will be attracted to you in equal
measure. The only difference is one is attracted by you on purpose.
The other manifests out of fear and paranoia.
Plus, Venus/Pluto's
attractive powers are palpable to many. I liken it to a certain
scent...pheromones...like how a human's sweat will attract mosquitoes
or other blood suckers. Or how animals can instinctively tell when
another animal of the same species is the most fertile (in heat).
This placement attracts folks looking for things like sugar mommas or
daddies or empty vessels looking to be filled or pleasured while
offering nothing in exchange. However, folks with this placement also
have the ability to assess when this is happening by measuring the
rate of exchange and return on investment. If you are giving, giving,
giving and supporting, supporting, supporting while receiving nothing
in exchange (as folks with this mark are prone to do) then you know
you've got yourself a leach. Now. It's up to you if you want
companionship and don't care to be the only source of Venus. Yet, if
that doesn't sound like something desirable, then it's best to scrape
off the leaches and look for reciprocal exchanges in the money and
relationship department. Venus/Pluto natives are also advised against
pointing their charm and attractive qualities at someone they don't
want to be “stuck” with for awhile. That's how you pick up
stalkers, you know? So, again, be careful where you point that.
Other than those two
downfalls of this energy, with proper focus you can indeed attract
what it is you really want instead of drawing in fears and
mosquitoes. Yet, this is just one factor wrapped in this day under
our New Cancer Moon. We also have Mars activity waxing in this
weekend that deserves our attention. It begins today as the Moon
links up Mars' waxing trine to Jupiter and square to Neptune by
passing through the configurations before they officially perfect.
At 3:10 PM, the Moon in
Cancer meets Mars in Cancer by conjunction. Now, this can kick start
motivation, anger or hunger, even. The emotional body and motivation
align allowing us to put oomph and emotional energy into our work.
Convert more edgy/angry feels into productive energy. What you don't
want to do is over-respond or over-estimate what you are actually
capable of achieving in the situation. The Moon squares Jupiter at
3:37 PM. This can bring forth widely optimistic feelings. But, on the
low end, we end up placing too much emphasis on the expectations we
perceive from others, over-promise ourselves or blow emotional
situations way out of proportion. To handle this effectively, make
sure you are being realistic, honest, humble while grounding in an
effort to check perspective.
On the high end, this is
productive energy that allows much to be accomplished. However, it is
dependent on how well you are able to direct your own energy. It
would be just as easy to over-blow emotional reactions and allow them
to take us over. Yet, as the Charioteer is able to put to use this
energy and steer her Chariot effectively toward victory, so should
we. Will power comes into play as well as focus and a clear vision of
where we intend to go. Sheer away distractions. Put anger to work for
you. Check perspective. Then, take the reigns and go! Be mindful of
keeping a sustainable pace.
Granted, it might be a short
trip. We may meet with wet weather or fatigue on our journey. The
Moon meets Neptune by trine at 4:43 PM. This encourages day dream and
empathy moreso than production. However, it can also allow us to
imbue our actions/emotional system with astute intuitive knowledge
and grace. The terrain becomes slippery though. So, it is suggested
to slow the chariot just a bit and be wary of the potential to
hydroplane.
Good boundaries are needed.
A direct approach may not be the best approach. Perhaps a detour is
in order or a little strategy. There is nothing direct about the
signs of Cancer, Pisces OR Libra where we find our stellium, Neptune
and Jupiter. Be soft and keep your radar up. Take the back road. Slow
down.
Just after nightfall, the
Moon opposes Pluto and the night grows extremely dark. There may be
struggle for control using fear, codependency or
temptation/persuasion. Be brave. Stare down or steer around demons as
they emerge. Resist the temptations to take subservient measures to
get where you need to go. Know “deals with the Devil” are now and
will continue to be tempting as Mars and Mercury also wax into
opposition with Pluto. Be wary where you place your alliances and
what “great deals” you make at this time. Read the fine print and
make sure you are willing and able to meet the terms of repayment.
Put the power of your shadow to work for you instead of allowing it
to drive your chariot while you remain unconscious to its influence.
On the highest end, this is
VERY intuitive, viscerally aware of ones environment and fiercely
brave..likened to a Momma Lioness protecting her young cubs. There is
fortitude and grounding here along with traction that can move us
right along as long IF we can avoid falling into the shadows or
allowing them to take over. It can also open the door to paranoia.
Again, these lunar aspects
are the SAME aspects that Mars will complete over the coming days.
This day gives us a “trial run” of the energy and allows us to
become intuitively aware of what those energies feel like. Mars will
square Jupiter overnight (2:08 AM). He will trine Neptune on the 26th
(night of the 25th) at 2:19 AM. Then, the opposition with
Pluto perfects in early July. Meanwhile, Mercury is coming this way
too. He will meet and pass Mars on June 28th. Mercury's
square with Jupiter and trine with Neptune occurs on Tuesday (June
27). He beats Mars in opposition to Pluto on June 29th
just as our Virgo Moon goes Void.
So, yeah...there's a lot of
powerful energy coming in the realm of Mars and Mercury. Use today's
lunar movements to asses how those themes may play out for you and
get well practiced in the art of self-control and proper steerage. As
these other energies build, the practice will pay off.
Of course, you know it
doesn't stop there. The Sun will eventually pass through this
configuration during Cancer season, as well. Plus, Yods fire away
throughout this time and as these planets leave Cancer, they will
also square Uranus and trine Chiron. There will be periods where time
seems to slip through your fingers like water. Other times (during
the Neptune trines most likely) when it feels like we've been zipping
along in our sloop and end up falling in a dead lull. High tides. Low
tides. Know how to monopolize upon each.
And, here's the thing about
that. Expect this season to be likened to an emotional roller
coaster. Why? Because, it IS the season of the Crab which answers to
the Moon...which rules our emotions. This means we have the Sun, our
mental body, our physical body ALL responding to mood which is quite
prone to fluctuate. Those well versed in how to deal with their own
emotional tides effectively will fare the best. Unfortunately in our
production/consumer driven Yang culture, not many are able (or have
been taught) to deal effectively with their emotions. But, (insert
sinister snicker here) as the world starts behaving like it has a
serious case of PMS...there will be plenty of opportunities to
practice.
Ok, in winding this day out,
the Moon makes a nice stable sextile with Venus in Taurus at
midnight. Mars officially finds Jupiter by square at 2:08 AM. The
rest of the night floats by without major aspect.
Sunday, June 25, 2017
This morning the Moon
resides rather leisurely in Cancer. As the afternoon draws nigh,
however, adrenaline and the unexpected creep in. The Moon squares
Uranus at 2:45 PM perhaps delivering a bit of a hitch to our plans.
The best bet is to triage the issues and remain flexible so you can
accommodate the unexpected. It's also suggested that we rise above
and chill ourselves in light of emotionally catalyzing or swamping
situations. What we don't want to do is merely react. We want to take
time to make a effective response. That means breathing through the
potential adrenaline and upset while keeping a firm hand on the
steering wheel while consciously remaining in control of ourselves.
The Moon trines Chiron at
4:15 PM. We will find out whether we can effectively cope with our
triggers or if we remain in denial or at continual risk of shooting
ourselves in the foot. Following this trine, the Moon reaches void
status before shifting gears into Leo at 6:08 PM.
Thankfully the shift into
Leo will dry things up a bit. However, we do need to be mindful of
our steerage through the potential upset brought in by Uranus in an
effort to land in that fiery realm successfully. Even with dried out
emotions, we are at risk of Neptune's influence. Mars does spend the
entirety of the day waxing toward Neptune. This perfects at 2:19 AM.
The major downfall of this is acting unconsciously or without
boundary. One malefic after-effect could be nightmares or
metaphorically hydroplaning by attempting to go too far too quickly.
Slow down. Assess your energy stores. Rest if you need to. Remain
engaged in and aware of what you are actually doing. When it doubt,
flow and follow the tide instead of trying to make the waves do what
you want to do. You can't fist fight Neptune. That doesn't mean you
may not want to. But your best bet here is to surrender to the tide
and flow where it takes you instead of trying to force your agenda.
This is good for creative, artisitic and graceful adventures. It's a
trine. So the effects are present but not necessarily harsh. Still
yet, Mars does respond to the emotional/intuitive system at this
time. A lot of what you are able to effectively do will of course be
dependent upon your mood. Keep that in mind.
The rest of the night plays
out without major aspect. Rest and regenerate. We are less flowy and
much more active under tomorrow's fire moon. Being well rested will
pay off well for Monday.
