Pranks meant to stir fear
and phobia. Insidious Clowns. That is what we were dealing with in
the US the last time Jupiter in Libra was in square to Pluto. There
were other headlines that did correlate. But, this one was easy to
remember. Now, the bolts on that square tighten, yet again. The next
Jupiter/Pluto square perfects midweek. However, the headlines between
this “war of the Gods” have already began trickling into our
sphere. Threats from foreign enemies (which has been a thing,
anyway), killer carnival rides, public tirades of profanity...all
Jupiter/Pluto. These two are insidious bedfellows. With them, they
squeeze the ugly out of the collective and put it on public display.
Some inflated and meant to catalyze fear/phobia. Some, horrific tales
in which a happy result was anticipated. Public threats and shaming.
Self-righteous proclamations. It's all coming to the fore now and
will continue to be at issue as this square waxes in.
A prelude, also likely, of
the shadow we will see emerge from the future expressions of Jupiter
in Scorpio. Not that there are no positive expression of that. But,
the energy of Jupiter in Scorpio is the same as the energy coming
from Jupiter square Pluto. Same energetic mixture just delivered in a
different way. Difference being, a square is forceful and creates
discomfort in folks until they respond. The entire passage of Jupiter
through Scorpio is not continually forceful. However, it will teach
us about proper use of power. Educate us about the shadow that lies
beneath and teach us more about survival, in general. There is much
more to that transit. But, that is the general overview.
In terms of survival, we are
now entering a time period in which a person's character may be
severely tested. Perhaps folks respond to the fear/paranoia catalyzed
by this square negatively. Perhaps personal situations arise as a
result of the ecliptic and folks are tempted to go to extreme
measures under Jupiter/Pluto. These are all possibilities.
An overly pumped Ego would
have us consistently and adamantly defending ourselves. Which, is not
a bad thing. It all depends on the effectiveness of the path we
decide to take in that. We remain open to our powers of choice and
perception (which may also be skewed by this square). As the Full
Moon eclipse on the 7th waxes into our awareness, a door
opens for exits. Then, the New Moon eclipse, opens a door for
entrances...stepping out...stepping into. For example, under the
effects of the Full Moon, someone may suddenly leave a job opening up
an unexpected position for someone else to walk into under the New
Moon. A couple may suddenly divorce opening the door for two new
potential mates as they newly single non-couple re-enters the dating
arena. Someone moves out of one house opening the door for someone
else to move in. It's shifting. Some of the exits may be shocking or
unexpected...and yet, serve as opportunity for someone else in the
future. Not that the leaving person has no further opportunities.
They do! They automatically get a fresh start...enter a new type of
life and may meet with a opportunity to do something more fulfilling
than what they are leaving behind. Crowns of power are exchanged and
people are shuffled around like a deck of cards and re-dealt.
Now. Lets add to that a
little. The Jupiter/Pluto square occurs on the 4th. The
Full Moon eclipse on the 7th. But, on the 2nd,
Uranus stations retrograde. Uranus is catalytic energy. Shakes things
up and makes it nearly impossible to not react. Nearly, I said. Not
entirely. However, his energy is very punctuated right now. It's a
station point that few pay attention to but it is likened to a
Mercury Rx station on crack, in my opinion. Plus, it could be the
very catalyst that sends some folks toward measures taken out of
desperation. We still maintain power of choice but the situations
this may bring could cause it to feel like we need to choose quickly.
Yet the higher vibration ALWAYS calls for mindfulness and breathing
through/grounding out the adrenaline in an effort to find mindfulness
and conscious choice.
Uranus is the higher octave
of Mercury. So, what we are looking at are things like squirrelly
internet issues, electricity outages, public transit
breakdowns/accidents...and that other shoe dropping. So, yeah,
today's lunar aspect to Uranus (opposition 5:31 PM) as well as the
one incoming once the Moon reaches Capricorn (on the day Uranus
stations Rx) are going to have particularly punctuated Uranian themes
moreso than what previous passages have brought about. Cardinal Moons
aspect Uranus harshly 4 times a month. Yet these incoming with Uranus
in station are very strong.
If you've been reading here
for a while, you know what I advise in regard to the basics of a
Uranus transit. Prepare for the unexpected. Reduce the stimulation
that you take in through diet and through your brain and try to
remain grounded particularly if you are receiving direct transits
from Uranus right now. Physically move around to dispel excess
physical energy. He lingers at 28 degrees Cardinal.
Plus, tonight, Venus meets
up with both Chiron and Uranus who both remain on that 28th
degree. Things like electric or computerized appliances have a
tendency to be a bit haywire. So, perhaps you have something like
that occur and are forced to respond with Venus/Money. Uranus
stations DO that! It screws up big systems...grids, networks, flight
patterns. So, yeah, imagine you are pinching every last penny you
have just to make it until the next payday only to have a major
appliance break down...or the electric goes out thus wiping out your
food stores. Or, imagine trying to hold everything together in your
home and being successful thus far with that only to have that
ability taken from your hands because severe weather has forced
evacuation...see what I mean? Much of this is out of our control.
Lack of control and uncertainty coming at folks' foundations is
scary. That's when we resort to extreme or dire measures and I'm
certain we will see some of that this weekend and into next week.
In those times, for a lot of
folks, the first inclination is going to be to fight. Rage. Declare,
I am the superhero that can fix this! We may pridefully refuse to
leave our home despite impending danger...as a matter of fact, pride
in malefic terms is going to be what unseats folks in a lot of
instances through these eclipses. All the wailings of ego. But, truth
be told, survival is not all about fighting. Adrenaline equals fight
OR flight and those of who have and continue to survive know that
certain situations may call for one or the other...the objective
being to live to fight another day.
At any rate, the character,
the true ability to self-direct is tested within folks. Why? Because
this is Leo. This is the axis between creative self and integrated
groups. Can you be true to who you really are or is who you are
dictated by what occurs or who is around you? Can you accept when a
door unexpectedly opens and you are pushed through its exit? Or are
you going to claw to the sides in desperation? Are you able to flow
with the circumstances and remain optimistic that...perhaps this
means there is something better or more fulfilling for you out there.
Perhaps, this is just the shove I needed? Maybe my time is finished
in this place or there is good cause behind this even if I don't see
it yet? It all depends. On your character. Your faith in yourself to
handle unexpected change. Your ability to direct yourself or
inability to control ego...again, this is Leo. The Sun. The core
essence of life. Your heartbeat and all that you are. Challenged and
squeezed until the “truth of you” comes out. What IS the truth of
you?
Last night, the Moon passed
by the Jupiter/Pluto square. All you have to do is read this
morning's headlines to see how that played out bearing in mind
Jupiter/Pluto themes and being on the lookout for Uranus' early news
as well. Today, the Moon is fairly stable following a sextile with
Saturn at 4:27 AM. This is followed by a trine to Venus in Gemini at
4:26 PM. Yet, following that, the potential catalytic nuance from
Uranus begins to be a factor.
At 5:30, the Moon is
inconjunct Chiron and opposed Uranus. See, these two are in
semi-sextile. Uranus being the front runner in that is actually
trying to pull Chiron forward in development by bringing AWARENESS to
these Chironic triggers, thus, helping us to liberate from them. To
evolve our coping mechanisms in light of them. To act more
independently in spite of them. His methods, though...lol...are
typically not pleasant. Folks are anxious, reactive and potentially
triggered. Watch for that awareness to trickle in. What triggers you?
How are you initially prone to react to that? Is your reaction
self-supportive and self-respectful? Or, are you the type that just
likes to cut their nose off to spite their face? Good at blowing your
life to smithereens? Astute at shooting yourself in the foot? All in
the interest of a malefic ego push that says, “I'll show you”?
Observe. Discover. Adjust as necessary.
(I'm laughing...because my
Sun/Uranus/Mars conjunction in Libra is fairly prone to ALL that if
I'm not paying attention).
After the Uranus opposition,
the Moon is Void in Libra until entering Scorpio at 8:24 PM. At this
point, the mood deepens further and that whole “survival” thing
becomes more of an issue. However, the initial “surge” of
adrenaline form Moon/Uranus has likely passed. For now. We are just
stewing in it more or less.
Then, overnight, Venus has
her time with the electric disco God (sextile Uranus at 4:04 AM) and
an opportunity to shoot herself in the foot with Chiron (square
Chiron 3:45 AM). Impulse buys on the internet? If it's a large
purchase, I'd wait. Getting intoxicated and calling someone up on the
spur of the moment? Probably not a great idea. Bolting in the middle
of the night from an abusive or subservient relationship...maybe...go
the safest route. No jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, k?
Sometimes that is waiting it out for the best time after preparations
have been made. Sometimes that is running RIGHT NOW; because, you are
in danger. The goal...to live to love or buy another day. True stuff
that the heart may skip a beat or two. Feel restless and responsive.
Make sure you assess they “why” behind that...the
trigger...before you do anything with it. Love and spend wisely while
making decisions that are self-respectful and a true expression of
you not a knee jerk reaction in the moment. That's your advice for
the day.

This morning the Scorpio
Moon meets with Mercury in Virgo by sextile this morning (5:21 AM).
Perhaps this is where we call the repair guy for whatever broke down
yesterday. Or, maybe we just call up a friend for some practical
advice. I can tell you this. If it is possible for something to be
figured out...a mixture of Scorpio and Virgo will find it. From here,
the Moon moves on to square Mars in Leo at 9:03 AM. Then, we are off
to the perfection of the First Quarter at 11:24 AM perfecting at 8
degrees fixed.
The First Quarter is going
to exacerbate feelings of frustration. Ambiguity and tension/pressure
are par for the course. Mars' presence here is not helpful. Neither
is that person over there in the corner screaming his agenda in an
attempt to get folks even more whipped up in his efforts to start a
revolt...or encourage one. Thing is, though, anyone making such
efforts...especially due to pure personal Ego invested
interests...might experience that backfiring. For example, they whip
up a crowd alright...but not to align with his agenda. Instead, they
line up against the instigator. Folks will likely be quite wise to
and sick of efforts such as this. Because, there is some real serious
stuff going down and who needs someone whose main motive is just to
whip things up in an effort to force their own agenda making it
worse? Maybe think twice before trying to push any kind of agenda
today. Help if you can. Ask for help if you need it. Otherwise, don't
go screwing with folks.
Ego vs Shadow. Harsh
interplay between Scorpio and Leo is not pretty. Plus, the feel
between fixed signs can be equivalent to being trapped in concrete.
Immobilized. We are already anxious and now it feels like the walls
are closing in and there is no escape. The desperate measures
continue to pop in our awareness. The best advice I can give you came
from a very wise Sun/Pluto person, “If you hit rock bottom...quit
digging.” If you are stuck, at least you aren't sinking. Weather
what you can instead of doing something that...may initially relieve
pressure but, in long term, serves only to make things worse. Decide
whether its wise thing to fight or to flee.
At 11:30 PM, the Moon trines
Neptune...I suggest a glass of wine. Maybe two. Take your finger out
of the dam. Whatever you've been holding back, let it out. Let the
emotions come forth so that you can clear your system. Safely. This
is also time for gentle acceptance. Realizing, “ok, so this is
where I am. I accept that. Now what?” Tomorrow the Moon does
refortify and refocus with a sextile to Pluto. Cleansing the
emotional system of what is overflowing the dam will help. We use
less energy when we let it go thus reserving some for future use. Be
gentle with yourself here. The adrenaline has left for a moment and
we are left in deep quiet...alone with our swirling emotions. Allow
the waters to run until they are clear thus clearing your
perspective, as well.
If you are in the mood for
creative efforts, the energy of the day is great for re-purposing,
exerting your efforts at being a junk gypsy or yard sale re-invention
wizard. It's great for creating mosaics particularly with broken
pieces of tile, dishes, etc. Take what is broken, no longer useful or
in need of repair and breathe new life into it. Turn your pain (and
broken things) into art.
