This morning the Moon
remains active in Taurus. At 2:43 AM, she is trine Mercury Rx in
Virgo. This is practical and grounded. But, by sunrise she is sextile
Neptune in Pisces. We are softened and delivered empathy and
compassion. Perhaps a little relaxed or tired. The softened outlook
does not last long, however, as the Moon and Mars butt heads at 10:31
AM. This is ambiguous pitting values against personal interests and
agendas. There can be conflict here or even a deadlock as this occurs
in fixed signs. An opportunity to ease the situation comes shortly
later as the Moon sextiles her current ruler, Venus in Cancer at
10:50 AM. I want to say, “Cookies make everything better” and
perhaps you reach for those under this sky. Yet, the true power found
here is in gentleness, compassion, understanding and a growing
concern for the welfare of folks other than ourselves or along with
ourselves. It's very territorial and protective. Yet is also steady,
safe and comfortable. Many will seek shelter from any potential
conflict stirred by the Moon/Mars square.
At 12:34 PM the Moon trines
Pluto in Capricorn which brings intensity and fortitude to our
emotional outlook. Bellies will growl. Feelings deepen. We are
empowered and restored. The spectrum of potential emotions expands to
include extreme paranoia or emotionally manipulative efforts all the
way to emotional forbearance and steadfast bravery. The focus
delivered here is astute. On the whole, though, the Moon/Pluto trine
is wonderfully supportive and grounding. If you need to face
something down this aspect provides the where-with-all to do so plus
it pulls in the circling of wagons for protection in even more
tightly.
Later this evening the Moon passes
through a Yod which includes the waxing Jupiter in Libra and Saturn
in Sagittarius sextile. Emotional maturity and our developing sense
of self-worth and value are tested against time, experience and
wisdom. Some may discover platforms they formerly stood on erode in
light of being tested in real world application. Some may change or
alter their concepts of right and wrong due to personal experience or
history. And, you know, that's ok. Values and priority do change over
time and with age. They should adapt to both our changing personal
structure and the growing world. This Yod provides a personal gut
check in that area.
At 9:16 PM, the last quarter Moon
perfects between the signs of Taurus and Leo at 22 degrees and 25
minutes of our fixed signs bringing the two in very close proximity
of our nodal axis which wobbles around 24 degrees Leo/Aquarius. This
denotes a time of letting go and continually releasing within this
lunar cycle. But, between fixed signs, the letting go is not easy. It
is change. It calls for a shift in momentum. Neither of which fixed
signs enjoy. But, as it aspects our nodal axis it becomes an
imperative factor in our future. However, if the metaphorical ground
we are standing on does begin to shift under our feet, we are more
likely to move to more solid ground for safety. So, if you are going
to stand on a principle or a soap box, make sure it is sturdy enough
to hold you up. The main question is to sheer away any activity that
is not supportive of a strong set of values. Are you forsaking
yourself and becoming too steeped in the collective or matters of
friends and group agendas? Are you valuing your talents and yourself
as you engage in the world? Are you over-complicating matters and
need to bring in a bit of common sense? Are you holding your ground
just to be stubborn and refusing to look at anyone's point of view
but your own? The outlet for this fixed t-square pulls in Scorpio
pointing to issues of power. How you use yours or how you give it
away. There are also matters of shadow at play. Take a long hard look
at yourself and how you interact in the world and release any habits
that call for you to over-compromise yourself, are self-disrespectful
or a misuse/exploitation of your talents.
Value systems can be morphed and
reformatted...transformed on a very deep level right now. Venus waxes
into opposition with Pluto in the morning. Yet, the most common
expression of this is likely going to be an adamant stand and
clinging to things held dear without seeing how it could be to our
own detriment. Pluto is not a light energy. In this instance, he may
tempt Venus or even bring her into harms way. At any rate, we are
called to reform, change, deepen the relationship with what is truly
valuable without attempting to trap or control it. This sky may make
us prone to want to hoard all the cookies for ourselves and to hell
with anything or anyone else. But, the answer to highest expression
here remains, let go of outdated subservient beliefs. When folks show
you who they are, believe them. Humble yourself and open your heart
to others. Let go of a feeling of not having enough and having to go
to extreme measures to get what you want...because in that instance,
good sense is lost and the thing of value enslaves you, dictating
your behavior. Don't allow yourself to be charmed into being taken
advantage of. And, as per typical, be wary of the undead loves
popping into your sphere. Old relationships, past lovers, old
friends...or someone calling to say your debts have all become due.
Overall, it's a tedious Monday. The
Taurus Moon wants to build wealth and security but the face of that
is changing. Valuables are under threat and in some instances ripped
from our hands. The “rocks” we stand on as principle begin to
erode and are challenged in an ever changing world and within
increasing volatility. Folks will butt heads. Fight over and for what
they think is important. Argue over the slices of right and wrong.
But, the real answer is to quit slicing and dicing. Adjust
perspective and see the world as one large breathing unit in which we
need to come together moreso than we adamantly fight to splinter
apart. The route I suggest is to pass out love and kindness. One
thing I know Taurus and Leo have in common is hugs. They adore
adoration and love. So, maybe in a world filled with hate, violence
and fear be part of the counter culture that spreads love for a
change. Let go of the rest or any belief that says you need to harm
or oppress others in an effort to build and secure a “just”
world...because...that's bullshit.

This morning the Moon in
Taurus is Void following a sextile with Chiron at 6:47 AM. Meanwhile,
Venus and Pluto perfect in opposition at 7:14 AM at 17
Cancer/Capricorn 18. This is the same degree in which Pluto perfected
in square to Jupiter. And, Venus will find Jupiter by square on the
17th. So, part of the energy between the waning
Jupiter/Pluto square will be re-fueled by this opposition and the
waxing square between Jupiter/Venus. So, I would imagine we could
expect to hear news about shady financial dealings emerging at this
time in the collective. However, the Sabian Symbols from the
opposition tell a deeper story. One of clucking barnyard hens versus
a newly free and empowered woman.
For Venus headed to 18
Cancer: In a crowded barnyard a hen clucks among her chickens.
Constructively practical, natural approach to life and its simpler
joys. Concern over things. Child-like group devotion.
For Pluto moving toward 17
Capricorn: Repressed woman finds psychological release in nudism.
Escape from bondage to social inhibitions. Readjustment of relation
of spirit to body. Self-purification. Self-confrontation.
So, basically, you can spend
your time deflecting and gossiping about others. Finger pointing and
sitting in your little cliques reveling about the failings and juicy
tales of the lives of others. Or, you can face yourself down. Focus
on where you need to let bondage to social inhibitions (expectations
and pressure) go and dare to stand naked in front of this group of
clucking hens without fear of their clucks regarding how dangerously
brazen you are. Or, how you should conform. Many will take the safe
route and hide behind the gossip and juvenile mentalities. The strong
will stand boldly naked in opposition to being chained to such social
expectation thus learning to be themselves regardless of the
pressures it may bring. They will face off honestly with themselves
thus becoming emboldened with wisdom as a result. Brazen. Empowered.
Free...or keep clucking and miss the entire point.
The Moon wakes back up in
Gemini at 10:07 AM providing plenty of wind for our clucking hens.
But, with Mercury's ruler retrograde in Virgo, if what you have to
say doesn't act as true service to others or contain useful tools of
solution, it's best to shut your clucking beak. Or, at the very
least, leave the hens to their little prison coops and go about your
own life all free range and stuff. Yeah, in a world of caged, fearful
and complacent chickens, be the one that breaks free.
The rest of the day passes
without major aspect. The Gemini Moon will square Mercury Rx in Virgo
which reinforces the theme of “help or just shut up” and “make
it practical and useful or quit wasting air.” But, for today, we
are mostly experiencing the good, the bad and the ugly of Venus in
Cancer. I suggest digging deep for these values you've built your
life around and make sure they can sustain you for the long haul
instead of looking to deflect attention from yourself by chatting it
up about everyone's dirty laundry.

This morning the Moon is
still active in Gemini and gets her wings curbed by curt Mercury in
Virgo before daybreak. But, the most interesting aspect pattern comes
in this afternoon as our Gemini Moon creates a Yod with Mars in Leo
and Pluto. Mars in Leo can seethe in regard to personal desires in
aspect to Pluto. But, the light Gemini Moon is more inclined toward
sociability than violence. What this Yod calls us to do is to assess
our motivations and how they align with our connection to the social
and our emotions. We are to mix motivation with emotion while
striving toward matters of integrity and fortitude. But, this could
lead to abusive or violent efforts when the malefic agendas align
within a small (or large group). We can have a peace mafia or a
movement that is much more insidious. Choose the twin you align with
carefully and ensure that what you are putting yourself behind is a
matter truly of your own agenda and you aren't just going along to
get along. Do you decide what action is best? Or does circumstance
and the folks you surround yourself with help to determine that. I
encourage you to step out on your own for a minute to check. There is
both shadow and empowerment accessible here. But, the only way to get
to the higher expression is through conscious choice and subsequent
conscious action. Don't allow yourself to be led into something that
really doesn't belong to you or align with the truth of you. Instead,
maintain your ability of choice, perspective and action.
This Yod spans between our
early morning hours and into our afternoon while also including a
lunar square to Neptune at 8:35 AM. So it would be VERY easy to be
tricked into a subservient agenda. To be led naively to metaphorical
slaughter. Boundary up and ground...completely avoid the crowd of
crazy folks if you can. Find your voice.
After the intensity of Moon
inconjunct Pluto begins to wane, she waxes into square with Jupiter
in Libra. Folks gather. Information is exchanged. We reach out to
friends and feel we need to hear all the news and discuss our opinion
about it. Which is fine. What we don't want to do is allow this windy
trine to whip up some sort of malefic collective movement. We are
looking for peaceful acts that help to bring folks together instead
of continually putting them odds here. Both Libra and Gemini are
social signs. Just like our South Node. But the low expression of all
this brings in an opportunity for things like “Mob mentality.”
When the mob is angry and violent things go sideways very quickly.
But, if the Mob can foster a mentality of peace, acceptance and
togetherness...it may be worth falling into. Just ensure that you are
being true to the truest expression of self even if that means going
against the common grain a bit while remembering there is no high
expression of ANY energy that calls for you to hurt or ostracize
others. None.
At 9:41 PM, the Moon opposes
Saturn in Sagittarius. The mood sobers. Harsh truths and stark
realities are delivered. Then, overnight, Venus squares Jupiter and
we shift from “need, need” and “want, want” to wanting to
share openly. To realizing that true value can't be carried in a
wallet. To reach out to our fellow man...or, the more malefic forms
of want and need may grow and some may wail “what about mine?”
The best use of this is gentle generosity. Random acts of kindness.
Nurturing in an effort to help instead of control. And, acceptance of
our fellow humans. Justice is served either way.

This morning the Sun and
Moon played nicely together by sextile. Then the Moon in Gemini moves
on to square Chiron (8:50 AM) and sextile Uranus (9:39 AM) before
reaching Void status. The morning starts off on the right foot as
long as agenda is aligned with true self and honoring the freedom and
right to be. The Moon remains Void before sinking into Cancerian
waters at 12:14 PM.
The morning is out and
about. Perhaps social. But, the evening is reserved for more private
affairs. We want to go home or at least snuggle up to the comforts of
home.
The Moon makes no major
aspect the rest of the day. We are encouraged to marinate in our own
stew and perhaps may feel like retreating to our shells for safety
and solace. It's a good day for home cooked wonderfulness and quiet
personal sheltering.

Early this morning, our
Momma Moon met with our fix-it Mercury. Perhaps a handyman comes to
visit in an effort to repair what Mercury Rx has screwed up. But by
10:17 AM the atmosphere is saturated with water by way of a lunar
trine to Neptune. No one is prone to move very quickly and all are
quite sensitive. We may even be tired or easily distracted. Or, we
could be lost in the ethereal world of our own dreams. The lingering
in the fog doesn't last long.
Venus brings sobriety by way
of an inconjunct to Saturn at 2:56 PM and the Moon is quickly
shuttled into depth and grounding by way of a lunar opposition to
Pluto in Capricorn at 4:46 PM. Then, she squares Jupiter in Libra at
8:53 PM. This is excellent for emotional purges and ridding the home
of what is no longer needed. It's also a pretty good set up for
becoming overly paranoid, greedy and blowing perspective way out of
proportion. The best bet is to deeply inspect fears instead of become
overly reactive and desperate in light of them. Plus, do some
perspective adjustments to ensure you have a clear unfettered view of
the situation. Or, are you being overly dramatic...because, that's at
question during Leo season and during a Moon/Jupiter sextile. Scale
it back and be realistic if you need to.
At midnight, the Moon meets
with Venus by conjunction. The most satisfied are squirreled away
safely in their nests. This brings want and need together nicely. So,
in the potential of not having enough to go around in the middle of
the day, maintain a sense of integrity, faith and patience. Self-care
efforts are greatly beneficial as are airing of more deep
grievances/fears amongst trusted and wise friends in an effort to
debunk the fear's power. Surround yourself with creature comforts as
best you can. Continue releasing this cycle in preparation for the
next.
