Morning Star: Astrology for September 1 to September 3, 2017

Friday, September 1, 2017

If you are reading this, pat yourself on the back. You have officially survived August! Of course, some of the energy from August will follow us into the first of September reactivating our most recent eclipse point.

Today, the Moon resides in Capricorn. We find her softened by sextile to Neptune as the Sun rises. This does increase sensitivity and could make getting started this morning a slow and relaxed affair. Listening to your favorite tunes while working can help you keep pace and aid production.
The sky grows more intense as the day moves forward, however. By 2:29 PM the Moon is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn which could cause fear and paranoia to grow. Or, there could be attempts at emotional manipulation or control as well. The best use of this is focus. Pinpointing the shadowy fears that may usurp us from fulfilling our goals while being given the fortitude to face down those fears as they are recognized.

At midnight, the Moon squares Jupiter in Libra. Wherever we are emotionally, it grows. This aspect is wonderful for blowing emotional matters way out of proportion. Ensure you check perspective. It can operate expansively upon any set of emotions. Yet, there is also a bit of buoyancy found here. This can lift the mood from the depths we experienced during Moon/Pluto or operate to make the situation worse. The best bet is to attempt to level and balance things out from a grounded and well boundaried position. Focus where you find joy and allow that to expand under Moon/Jupiter.

Today is all about Uranus. Electrified. Energetic. Catalyst. Rebellious. Unique. Independent. Expert. Unusual. Cold. Reactive. Explosive. Those are just a few key words that get tossed around when Uranus is in play. Today we will experience both harsh and harmonious aspect to Uranus. But, regardless of the aspect, the same potentials for negative and low expressions exist.

On a personal level during a transit from Uranus, one is well-advised to increase grounding efforts, avoid over-stimulation by way of diet or brain and to find a safe outlet to dispel excess energy. These efforts reduce the tendency to become reactive, irritable and anxious. On a collective level, the energy can cause volatility, explosions, electrical issues, fires and other situations that require emergent response. The energy that brings these possibilities is the same energy that can be used to respond to it. And, responding is key. That means slowing down long enough to think things through and fully asses the situation to avoid the impulsive reaction. It's best to aim for clarity and conscious decision making/action. Yet, that is usually the last thing folks want to do.
High end expression of this energy enables us to respond quickly and precisely when needed. We can increase personal expertise and craft inventive and unique solutions. We are able to detach from the immediacy of the situation in an effort to discern the best course of action.

It is also worthy to note that the trine between Mars and Uranus today does occur on the eclipse point. We may experience sudden and unexpected (perhaps angry and forceful even) responses relating to ecliptic themes. Mercury Rx will converge with Mars on this point and station direct later this week.
Often, folks will note an incoming eclipse and stand with bated breath at the hour of perfection waiting for something serious to go down. Sometimes, it does. But, most often, eclipse happenings occur over a period of time. Their effects can be sudden and occur right in the moment. Most often, though, they trickle into our lives with varied themes. What I've seen most from our most recent New Moon Eclipse are folks unwittingly put right in the right place at just the right time. Either way, the effects are not always as obvious as you would think. Yet, as planets transit recent eclipse points, picking up on the theme of the Eclipse itself is, indeed, quite possible.
The Mars/Uranus trine perfects early this morning (8:14 AM) while the Moon/Uranus square perfects early afternoon (12:31 PM). The Moon does go on to form inconjunct to both Mercury and Mars at around 2 PM; but, by this point, the Moon has been rendered unto Void status. She remains Void until entering Aquarius (who is ruled by Uranus in modern Astrology) at 4:08 PM. Mercury Rx will meet Mars on the eclipse point very early tomorrow morning under an active Aquarius Moon at 5:38 AM.
Take a step back. Breathe. Reduce your intake of dietary stimulants (caffeine, sugar, etc). Slow down. Remain mindful. Stay cool but don't turn cold. And, realize folks may be antsy, jumpy or reactive during the next few days.


Sunday, September 3, 2017

The major happening of this day is the conjunction of Mars and Mercury Rx upon the eclipse point early this morning. While Mercury is not officially “to the second” in trine to Uranus, the aspect does come within less than a degree of perfection. There is still quite a bit of crackle in the air. Mercury's entrance into this set up is not likely to really “help” the matter either. The same suggestions for weathering the potential effects of our Lightning God remain the same as yesterday.
At 11:35 AM the Moon and Venus in Leo are at odds. This opposition can create discomfort, dissatisfaction and a little bit of “what about me” at a time when folks are more concerned about collective or societal issues. The best use of the energy has us engaging within the collective and our social venues with a gentle sense of self-confidence, respect and worth. You can balance the polarity between what you value (Venus in Leo) and what the collective may need (Aquarius Moon).
The rest of the day goes by without major aspect. Though, I assure you, the Mercury Rx/Mars conjunction upon the eclipse point is going to be enough of an aspect to deal with all by itself for one day Stay grounded, careful and alert out there!
