Early this morning the Moon
in Scorpio met Chiron by trine at 4:55 AM; then, Uranus by
inconjunct. She is Void until entering Sagittarius at 8:02 AM. Her
only major aspect is a square to Mercury in Virgo at 10:00 PM.
In the meat of the day, she does make
minor aspect (inconjunct) to Venus newly in Cancer while finding both
Jupiter and Pluto by semi-square at 12:15 and 1:15 PM respectively.
Semi-squares are a 45 degree aspect. It's interesting because this
means that the Moon is passing through the midpoint of the waxing
Jupiter/Pluto square due to perfect on August 4th. With
that, we will have some nuance in relation to that square trickling
into the collective mood at midday. With the Moon in the sign of the
Archer, ruled by Jupiter, it is a time in which deep truths could
emerge thus leading us into the hard or strained discussions brought
forth by the Lunar square to Mercury later in the day.
The operative word here is truth and
not insidious conflation. Mercury in Virgo can separate the wheat
from the chaff in regard to information of use and falsehood. So,
there may be a shifting of personal awareness and perspective as the
day unfolds. Potentially, there could be disagreements over varying
perceptions as we attempt to sort this out.
Semi-squares do create tension and both
Pluto and Jupiter are big and powerful players in our skies at this
time. So, some of what may be published on a wide or public scale
could stir discomfort that leads to a desire for action in response
to the friction. On the whole, it looks like a wrestling match
between the good angel on your right shoulder and the more insidious
entity on your left. You know? As if the emotional body struggles in
regard to how to respond to the impetus brought forth by these minor
aspects. However, it can also provide focus, emotional fortitude in
response to seepage of truth and proclamation. Again, minor aspect.
But, given that it occurs in the middle of the day involving two of
our Supergods (Hades and Zeus..especially since Zeus' wife, Juno, is
at risk of being seduced by his enemy right now), it is not to be
underestimated. The main thing is to keep looking for the truth,
avoid going to unnecessary extremes but feel free to put this “itchy”
energy to use consciously.
Overnight the Moon will create a fiery
trine with Mars in Leo right after midnight. She remains active
through the night while working to ignite another fire trine with the
Sun in Leo (4:45 AM) just before daybreak tomorrow. All this is the
mark of activity and if you can keep your wits about you and your
compass pointed toward your true North (overall goals), you can use
the fire sky to make quite a bit of progress. As you may know, this
doesn't come without the potential for distraction due world events
and the like. But, it is possible to redirect your focus toward
supporting your own initiatives and we are highly encouraged to do
just that. The Lunar square with Mercury will assist us in sheering
away distractions and refocusing on the task at hand, well.

The Sun and Moon dance in
trine early this morning giving us the “get up and go” energy we
need to start the day. But, it doesn't last long. At 11:44 AM the
Moon meets Neptune by square which could create fatigue,
over-sensitivity or just a feeling of confusion. Extended periods of
fire can be exhausting. We are in the heat of the summer in the
Northern hemisphere and this set up between Moon and Neptune most
definitely points to a need for being properly hydrated. Don't push
yourself too hard. Rest when you feel you need it and, of course,
drink plenty of water especially if you are spending a lot of time
outdoors.
At 6:55 PM the mood
brightens a bit as the Moon meets her current ruler by sextile. This
in connection to the Lunar square to Neptune could hinder
productivity but still has room for progress especially if you take
the necessary time to rest. As the sun sets and the temperatures
begin to cool, it's a good time for gatherings of friends and
barbeques...just welcoming a lighter feel to the end of the day.
At 10:31 Uranus officially
stations retrograde. It won't take long for him to settle himself
down from here which may ease some of the things he threw off kilter
while stationing (electrical problems, appliance issues, internet
connectivity, widespread communication device issues, etc).
At 3:37 AM, we ground a bit
as a the Moon conjuncts Saturn Rx. This is a self-reckoning that
soberly looks at personal situations in an effort to get ones
bearings and weigh/measure progress. It's stabilizing but not “barrel
of monkey” fun. It's very sober. Could be felt as depressing; but,
is also very solid ground to stand on.

The Moon remains in active
in Sagittarius today. But, there is no major activity stirred by her
following her early morning conjunction with Saturn. We are grounded.
Focused and the fire sky continues to encourage us toward action.
At about 5:30, the Moon
makes tandem aspect to Chiron and Uranus (square/trine respectively)
before shuttling off into Void status. This can cause over-reach and
a feeling of needing to rush. Yet, again, with Uranus we are looking
for mindfulness and precision which can help us avoid stubbing our
toes on Chiron by moving too far too quickly. The trine with Uranus
is energizing and can light a fire under us helping to bring progress
to whatever we are dealing with. Adjust your aim and keep climbing.
The Moon remains Void until
entering Capricorn at 8:37 PM.
Focus on your agenda today.
Dare to try something new and be innovative in problem solving
efforts. The sky supports such conscious activity today. What you
don't want to do is be off the chain reactive as that could lead to
literal injury or knee-jerk non-self-supportive action in response to
triggers.

Uranus has crossed the
threshold of critical mass at this point as he continues to settle in
his retrograde status. However, the battle between Hades and Zeus
doesn't reach that point until today. And, that bears impact upon the
collective mood as the Moon is RIGHT THERE as the two meet in square
to make it personally affective.
This morning begins as the
Moon stands off (opposes) Venus in Cancer (5:23 AM). This can denote
friction between women or a personal debate in regard to want and
need. There can be disputes over the business of running a household
or challenges that arise as a result of work/homelife imbalance. Even
out the scales if you find that to be the case.
At 2:23 PM the Moon in
Capricorn and Mercury in Virgo meet via trine and grounding,
practicality and an ability to formulate a workable plan/framework is
accessible. This Earth trine is glorious to have in midst of all this
fire. Put it to use by way of integrity, responsibility plus a little
sprinkling of usefulness and good common sense. We can veritably
touch ground and gain traction here. Which, we are going to need as
the screws tighten on the Jupiter/Pluto square just one minute later
(2:24 PM). There's pressure here. But, the Earth trine can help us to
remain grounded through it and may actually allow us to figure out a
way to put the pressure to use in terms of productivity.
At the end of the day,
though, we experience a brief reprieve from this pressure and are
gifted with a chance to relax a little. The Jupiter/Pluto square has
crested and now begins to wane (even though we are not entirely done
there, yet) and the Moon moves forward to unwind with Neptune.
Relaxation and withdraw from social interaction in an effort to
rest/restore are wonderful things to gift yourself at this time. The
sextile comes about just before midnight. Get well rested. The Moon
will re-ignite the War between the Gods briefly but in quite a
punctuated manner tomorrow morning as we continue our trek toward the
Full Moon eclipse on August 7.
