Today we wake under the dark
and ominous cloud that is Pluto. Venus in Leo is inconjunct the Dark
Lord early (3:20 AM) and the Sun perfects in trine to Pluto at 6:41
AM EDT. And, as if that weren't enough, we are further jolted by the
Moon's conjunction to Uranus 8:55 AM. Then, the Moon trines Mercury
in Leo from the 29th degree of both respective signs at
11:53 AM. From here the Moon is Void until entering Taurus a half
hour later.
Basically, the chaos of the
morning and the previous days, sets the tone...well...exacerbates it,
really. Then, as the Moon enters Taurus, stuff starts getting very
“real.” Her first aspect is a trine to Mars in Virgo. The high
end of that energy has us doing what? Sitting back and blaming people
for stuff? Turning everything into a religious or political battle?
Slicing and dicing others apart? No. The high end of this says, “Get
your shit together and quit being a pedantic ass. Do something
helpful or get out of the way of the folks who can.” This does not
need to be a big heroic act. It can be as simple as just asking
someone if there is something you can do to help. It can be as simple
as realizing if you can take some time out for self care you are
extraordinarily blessed. If you can do that, then please do. Fill
your cup up and then share that which overflows with others. Grab
some common sense, drop your rhetoric and go. This is not the time
for anyone's ratcheted critiquing jaw to come unhinged. But, we will
likely see squalls of that nature. They will be just as helpful and
useful as always. Not at all.
At 10:54 PM, Mercury
re-enters Virgo after having left a severe punctuation mark in Leo.
Whether you realize it or not, your reaction to the chaos and
challenges within the world at large has shown exactly who you are.
And, to be frank, it's been like a race to the photo finish to see
who could be the biggest and loudest ass in response. I'm more than a
bit disillusioned if that is not obvious, here. Not that it matters.
I often underestimate how insensitive and ugly folks can be.
As I stated last week. The
highest vibration of anything in regard to Pluto is focus, endurance,
diligence. There is accessible power in these transits. There is also
temptation to be the absolute worst version of yourself you can be.
Venus in aspect to Pluto is a very strong instigator of temptation,
as well. But, it can also work to strengthen and deepen a sense of
sturdy values and resolve offering us a platform from which to call
the next best move for ourselves. It marks the difference between the
types of folks who are willing to lend a hand and their talents in an
effort to help or those who take advantage of a disastrous situation.
Many will “show” themselves for who they are for better or
worse...even more so than they have already. My suggestion is you do
that on purpose. It is entirely possible to steer yourself away from
the sinking rhetoric of our current South Node and focus in on the
tasks that rank in personal priority. Of course, this is due to vary
from person to person. But, no person is going to see it if they are
distracted by things out of their control. You can wring your hands
with worry. You can spend your time sunk in the news cycles and
rhetoric. Or, you can deal with what is right in front of you to deal
with. Some, will be fighting for mere survival as many have been for
a long time now. More will join in those numbers. None of them will
be checking to see what political party or religious affiliation or
nationality another person may have. Why? Because, when shit goes
sideways none of that matters. None of it should matter anyway. It's
too bad we cannot get over ourselves long enough to see that until
something chaotic goes down. It's even more putrid to watch folks
turn the suffering of others into some sort of opportunity to keep
driving wedges.

This morning, emotions
soften as our sturdy Taurus Moon meets Neptune by sextile. From here,
the Moon trines both the Sun in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn creating
a very solid Earth trine. There is room to ground. Focus.
And...maybe...just MAYBE open your heart to a little compassion and
empathy. There is a loose kite formed here with the focal point or
apex of that kite falling on the Lord of the Seas who has this
tendency in his own blurry and confusing way of showing us exactly
what is of true importance. He is not considered the higher vibration
of Venus without good cause. The calls to service will continue and
hopefully our brains respond in tow as Mercury is now in humble and
serving Virgo (low end being a critical nag).
The rest of the night offers
a personal gut check in regard to priority and value. The Moon in
Taurus squares Venus in Leo at 8:55 PM. Basic astrology calls the
Moon out as Void after this. But, she does go on to form a Yod with
Saturn and Jupiter which is begging us to grow up our emotionality
(between midnight and 5 AM). Then, she will make an ouchy and hollow
sextile with Chiron prior to officially leaving the sign (10:16 AM).
She wakes up in Gemini at 3:30 PM tomorrow.
My advice throughout the
weekend remains the same. Survive. And, if you aren't busy surviving,
do something to help or get out of
the way of folks who can.
