Morning Star: Astrology for September 11 to September 15, 2017

Monday, September 11, 2017

This morning, the Moon is considered Void as she works her way through the last bit of Taurus while creating a Yod with Jupiter and Saturn in our early morning hours. Saturn is an assured player in our week to come. Venus in Leo will meet him by trine tomorrow evening. The Sun in Virgo will meet him by square on the 13th. Of course, the Moon will oppose him from Gemini, as well.

At 3:30 PM, the Moon does leave Taurus and re-activate in Gemini. Her first aspect is a harsh square to her current ruler, Mercury in Virgo (5:55 PM). The clutch between these two is finding usefulness in conversation. Gemini can chatter incessantly. Mercury in Virgo wants to know the point. By giving conversations an end point, a problem to solve, then Gemini's curiosity and willingness to learn comes in handy. But, if you've ever tried to fix something with someone standing over your shoulder chattering about nonsense and asking ten million questions, then you know how this combination of energy can be taxing. With the Moon in Gemini, matters of Mercury become emotionally affective. Some folks may chatter because they are nervous. Others may just need to vent or talk their way through something. Mercury in Virgo can help suss out fix-it solutions that ease a nervous moon. Or, a diet of an over-stimulating news cycle can distract us (Gemini Moon) from focusing on our task at hand (Mercury in Virgo). This, can be balanced, again, by bringing a gentle hand of focus to our brain. Sheer away distractions after you've dealt with any calls from the emotional body. Fix what needs to be fixed and steer conversations away from gossip or incessant meaningless chatter and toward solution seeking to help ease some of the tension that may be found in this square.

This is a brief and fleeting aspect, really. But, the friction between the sign of Gemini and Virgo does not stop here. The Moon goes on to square Mars later tonight. The same call to cut distractions and focus intent upon the tasks at hand help ease the ambiguity brought forth. The Moon is in release mode as she wanes. So, from today and through the Last Quarter, we can essentially do the equivalent of a brain dump. Releasing information that is not applicable to us and seeking out the information we need to complete our Virgo tasks.

There's plenty of info being swapped in the world out there. Trying to consume it all can be over-whelming. Virgo calls us to separate the wheat from the chaff in that regard. Sometimes, Virgo can get lost in details and information over-whelm. This is where we stop and sheer away what we no longer need to worry about and focus in on what we need to fix or harvest. We ditch old mentalities or mindsets that no longer serve us and become curiously inclined to seek out more useful and relevant information. We are called to bring focus upon the task at hand and deal with steps one at a time with a intention of diligent follow through. We cease out dated conversations and overly beaten topics. This is good practice throughout the first of the week.

This morning, the Moon in Gemini persists as she makes her way to square Neptune at 12:53 PM. The most simple way to deal with the potential fatigue brought forth here is to take a nap. However, it could also mark the point where waters of emotionality rise clouding our midday. Resisting the urge to over-consume media and needless information will help offset the potential of being wrung to a frazzle by it as this square waxes in. Neptune denotes a time of quiet and reflection. Make room for a quick recharging break here.

The rest of the day takes a Saturine flavor as Venus stabilizes and grows up in trine to Saturn at 8:50 PM. An attitude of personal accountability and maturity in matters of love, personal relationships and money supports us greatly. It's not a “big party” aspect. It's more of a well weathered comfort and security that offers stability as its own reward.

At 2:26 AM, the Last Quarter Moon perfects between the signs of Gemini and Virgo and we are challenged once again to let go of mentalities and information we no longer need. We keep sheering away the distractions in an effort to focus in on the details that we need instead of the chatter that just creates a lot of hot air. If it isn't useful, truthful or relevant, feel free to let it float right by you.
The collective mood sobers as we get more deeply into the night and the Moon opposes Saturn at 3:48 PM. This is our assured low point under the Gemini Moon. From here, the Mood begins to slightly lift as we rise in the morning. The Moon makes a gentle sextile with Venus in Leo at 4:26 AM. We begin tomorrow with a lighter and more buoyant feel as the Moon trines Jupiter at 8:44 AM. Well. This will help, anyway. We still have the Sun square Saturn waxing in late tomorrow and Moon square Chiron at around lunchtime. So, while we may be able to foster a sense of optimism, it's not wild and unchained. It's more of a warm gentle lift that still recognizes the elusive pain from Chiron and reality plus calls to service from Saturn.

This morning, the Moon makes two buoyant aspects while also experience a few aches and pains. We wake up under the Moon in trine to Jupiter. She goes on to square Chiron and then sextile Uranus prior to reaching Void status. This sounds a lot like a call to lend a hand in your personal area of expertise in an effort to assist others. We are prone to reach out with empathy and compassion while still dealing with our own feelings at the same time. Helping feels good if you can manage it.

The Moon is officially Void at 2:36 PM following her sextile with Uranus. She re-activates in the sign of Cancer at 6:13 PM. At this point, we are likely ready to pack our tools up and head home. The pressure from the Sun/Saturn square begins to peak and we are prone to assess both progress and our personal abilities to perform and produce. This can be cumbersome. But, if you've spent your efforts wisely and maturely, the harshness of what this aspect can bring is greatly gentled. The square officially perfects at 10:59 PM. Position yourself so that you can truly say that you put forth your best efforts in regard to whatever has arisen.

On the low end of the Sun/Saturn square there will be pressure and heaviness. Some will respond to that pressure by having melt-downs related to perceived lack of production/progress, micro-management headaches or concerns over lack of perfection. It's effort and accountability that matters moreso that achievement here. Nothing is ever perfect. Everything is just practice as we layer on experience that teaches us as we go. Don't cut yourself up over missteps. Decide to learn from perceived mistakes as you continue to try and learn. You cannot know what you don't know yet, right? We are learning here and effort and adherence to your personal direction count.
At midnight, the Moon makes a gentle sextile with Mercury in Virgo. Momma Moon briefly checks over tomorrow's to-do list and makes adjustments. Mind and emotion are on the same page here. This can create a brief sense of worry since both the signs of Cancer and Virgo are prone to such. However, its best steered toward effective scheduling, timing, priority and solution instead. As the Moon moves more deeply into the night, she also sextiles Mars in Virgo which calls for us to prioritize our actions in light of the plans we just checked over. Emotionality aligns with motivation allowing us to shore up our personal trajectory by way of organization and tackling tasks by priority...one thing at a time.


Thursday, September 14, 2017

Instead of reaching outward to provide service and assistance to others today, we may be more inclined to focus upon matters of our home and family. The Moon lingers in Cancer this morning and makes a gentle trine with Neptune 3:32 PM. This movement softens the waning Sun/Saturn square with tears and empathy. Folks can become hypercritical of self or others under that configuration. This lunar trine softens our criticisms considerably. But, it is not an outgoing social aspect. It's more one of withdraw in which we are encouraged to take a time out to revert to personal matters and deal with our own selves. Creativity, empathy, intuition and fatigue may rise. Take a break and float a bit.

Fear and temptation...along with potential emotional manipulation rides in upon our nighttime hours. The Moon meets with Pluto by opposition at 10:51 PM. Worry serves nothing. Focus in on facing down your fears, drawing attention to what you can do instead of what you cannot and plotting solutions while continuing to sheer away non-applicable or distracting information. Bring worries out into the air and light so that their power is lessened (talk about them, write/list them out or just turn on a light to chase the lingering shadows out of the corners).

Friday, September 15, 2017

This morning all wheels kind of click into some sort of arranged pace. The Moon in Cancer meets our industrious Sun in Virgo. It's time to pull out the home chore checklist. At noon, the Moon makes square to Jupiter in Libra and we may need to manage our desire to be social and helpful with others while also minding our own tasks at hand. However, bartering deals can be made here. Like “I'll help you clean out your garage if you will help me paint my kitchen.” Fair and mutually beneficial deals are the way to go here. There is strength and power in numbers. Just avoid the tendency to over-compromise. Go for the win-win deal instead.

Hearts open and blossom as Venus in Leo dances with Jupiter in Libra by sextile at 3:45 PM and the Moon trines Chiron. Birds of a feather flock together and we are shown appreciation just for being our warm and generous selves.
However, there is angst and anxiety that can creep in as we get deeper into this day. The Moon does make a catalyzing square with Uranus at 5:23 PM. This can shake up apple carts and plans with the unexpected. Keep focusing on priority and deal proactively with whatever occurs. Physical movement can dispel excess energy making this transit more manageable. But, it does work to pull us out of our comfort zones and pokes at us to increase our expertise in light of whatever circumstances it may bring up. It could simply mean the voice of the collective rises in an attempt to bash our efforts at taking care of what we personally need to take care of. That's fine. Simply turn off the electronic devices that channel these spirits and go back to your own business. Reducing intake of dietary stimulants through the mouth and intake of information by way of the brain also helps this square pass by with less anxiety.

Following the square with Uranus, the Moon in Cancer is Void until entering Leo. A quick glance at the weekend shows promise! We enter under the creative and playful mood brought forth by Leo and we are boosted by it throughout. Plus, Venus trips through the ecliptic degrees...perhaps bringing recognition to the silver lining that has hidden behind the clouds that movement rode in on. The air clears. We are rewarded for generosity, creativity and the ability to remain true to ourselves and a sturdy sense of personal values as Venus moves forward. There is room for kindness, romance, fun and maybe even a little relaxation! The main thing though is to drop the facade of pretense and enter everything exactly as you are. Come as your beautiful authentic self and ready yourself for the weekend that the collective has been missing for the last...gosh...forever..
I say let's take full advantage of that!
