Overview
I told you last week was
gonna be big. It did turn out that way with some of that saga set to
continue. However, don't expect this week to be as action or as
pressure filled. I, for one, am grateful for that. Many are in need
of simply recovering from the ramping up and subsequent release of
last weeks energy and happenings. This week? Much more subtle...which
in my opinion is a good thing.
What we are moving into at
the end of this week is a sextile between our Sun in Taurus and
Neptune in Pisces (5/6). Plus, Mercury will square off with Pluto. In
the beginning of the week, Venus in Gemini creates a Yod by way of a
sextile to our North Node in Leo as both form an inconjunct to
Saturn. This puts Saturn Rx at the Apex of that Yod which flickers
between the evening of 5/1 to the evening of 5/2. Like last weeks'
Mercury/NN trine, this is a very subtle movement. What it allows us
to do is decide what it is we want in our future. The Full Moon lit
up a brief Yod with her sextile to Saturn reversing our current set
up so that Venus was at the Apex. Showing us our options. Showing
what made holding ourselves accountable worth it. Enticing us to keep
moving forward. With that changing to place Saturn at the Apex, what
we do is work the Venus/NN sextile to discover what it is we want
while allowing Saturn Rx to begin laying out the steps for us. This
is also about discovering your enticement toward change.
Metaphorically, we are planning the future decorations of our life.
You can ask yourself where
you want to be in X amount of years. Sure. This will help you
discover the first steps to take in an effort to get there. But,
uncovering why you want to be in the spot...what entices you toward
that end..will keep you motivated when you meet with difficulty and
challenge in getting there.
Lunar aspects color in the
nuance of our week but other than that, there are no major movements
with our major bodies in the sky. At the end of the week, as I
mentioned, we will have the Sun/Neptune sextile as Mercury also works
his way into square with Pluto on the morning of 5/7. Venus also
squares Neptune next Monday. But all that happens at the end of this,
ok? This week, we have a chance to kind of recover and get our feet
underneath us while continuing to release and absolve this passing
lunar phase.
Monday, April 30, 2018
This morning, the Moon in
Scorpio is a bit sedate and blurry eyed as she trines Neptune in
Pisces at 8:32 AM. It's a sleepy, foggy and subdued Monday morning.
We need a day off to recover from the weekend? Maybe? Or, perhaps the
big fat Moon shining in our windows last night kept us awake and we
are just tired from that this morning. Either way this is not a crash
and bang beginning to our week.
We lumber around as the fog
begins to dissipate and the morning grows longer.
At 3:12 PM the Moon meets
Jupiter by conjunction helping the emotional system rejuvenate a
little. That energy is again boosted by a sextile to Pluto at 6:44 PM
giving us more focus and resolve. The emotional body and the physical
body meet amicably by sextile at 10:57 PM allowing us to recover on
both those levels and imbuing us with determination and a feeling of
having our feet firmly back on the ground and ready, once again, to
move forward with our plans.
And, that's it. April ends.
The Moon is rendered Void following the sextile with Mars and remains
so until entering the sign of Sagittarius tomorrow morning at 11:20
AM.
Rest and recover my
pretties. Take it easy on yourself and ease slowly and patiently into
this morning. We start lifting by midday, By tonight, we are much
more settled than we were moving into last weekend's Full Moon.
Tuesday, May 1, 2018
The Moon is Void in Scorpio
this morning until she enters Sagittarius at 11:20 AM. A void Scorpio
Moon can feel heavy but the weight of that will dissipate once she
awakens in Sagittarius helping us to feel a bit lighter and more
active.
At 12:44 PM she is trine
Chiron in Aries. This is the only major aspect she makes within this
day. The bigger news...though no less subtle...comes from Venus
perfecting in her inconjunct to Saturn at 10:24 PM. There is no other
Moon that would be ready to move forward into the future than this
one. So, we set our perspective on the future..or begin to in this
day. While Venus tightens in this Yod with Saturn and the North
Node, all we have to do is decide what we want and contemplate our
plans forward to get it. All we have to do is figure out the first
step on our staircase. After we are through building that one, we can
move on to the next. But, for now, just the first one is all we need
be concerned with.
The energy wrapped within
this day allows us to bring focus to this without much distraction.
What do you want? What are the first steps you need to take in order
to get it? That's all we are doing here.
Wednesday, May 2, 2018
This morning, the Moon in
Sagittarius shoots right through the middle of the Venus/NN/Saturn
Yod as she opposes Venus at 5:21 AM. Oppositions between the Moon and
Venus can cause a stand off between what we need and what we want. It
can be uncomfortable. However, the polarity between the signs of
Sagittarius and Gemini is not horrible. What we are doing is looking
at our current bank of wisdom and deciding what it is we need to
learn in an effort to get to that future that holds what we want.
What we know versus what we need or want to know. Both the Moon and
Venus are interested in learning. So, even if this may not be
entirely comfortable...that much of it is fleeting. This can be
likened to choosing your classes at the beginning of a school year.
Not a big deal. Worst thing being? You can't really cram them all
into one semester. But, you can narrow it down to the ones you would
like to take first and go from there.
Venus officially sextiles
the North node at 3:41 PM. Shortly after, the Moon finds Mercury by
trine at 5:58 while squaring Neptune just a few minutes later (6:10
PM). Now, those are two very different energies mixing together right
there. Moon trine Mercury is quite prone to talk about future plans
and ideas about moving forward. But, Moon/Neptune? Sleepy. Foggy.
Potentially isolated and sensitive just wanting things to be quiet.
You can choose between the two. If you feel like talking find someone
in the same mood. If you don't, retreat, relax and shelter yourself.
There is a chance with Moon/Neptune for things to be tearful or
emotional...we really just need to check in with ourselves briefly to
decide what it is that feels good to us in this mix. Then, go with
that. Many will likely turn in a bit earlier tonight than typical due
this Moon/Neptune square. Nothing wrong with that. We are still
recovering. This is part of that.
Thursday, May 3, 2018
The day is mostly filled
with minor and subtle aspect from the Moon today. By semi-sextile she
meets with Jupiter, Mars and Pluto in our AM hours. Beginning at
midnight and extending into our midday. Subtle and just bringing the
emotional body into the waning connection between these three
planets.
At 8:50 PM, the Moon is
lightened, brightened and inspired by a trine to Uranus. This is
uplifting and not forceful. It helps us look forward to what types of
new freedoms we will have in our future once our plans are firmly in
place. She is Void following this aspect, until entering Capricorn at
10:06 PM. This shifts our focus from dreams of the future and places
it upon the work we have ahead of us right in the present moment. We
will be ready to roll our sleeves up and get at it in the morning.
Friday, May 4, 2018
Ok. This is where a little
of the pressure returns. Now, it's not like what we had at the Full
Moon, ok? The Moon wanes now so emotional energy is dropping not
raising like last weekend. No need to panic..alright? But, what we
have is a Moon in Capricorn that is going to bounce off everything
else in Capricorn and also touch on the rest of the sky too.
What happens today is a
re-ignition of the waning Venus/NN sextile putting the Moon at the
tip of that Apex as she passes over Saturn and hen completes in the
inconjunct to Venus. This takes place between 4:02 PM (Moon conjunct
Saturn) and 11:38 PM. OK? Again. This is subtle and involves a lot in
the internal sphere more than it has to do with external events. We
are getting our future plans and what we want as far as “decoration”
in that future integrated into our emotional body. We are settling
into all this...what we want...where we plan to go...and our plans to
get there.
The Moon/Saturn conjunction
is what gives today heaviness. But, it also offers sobriety,
grounding and self-direction toward our goals. It offers traction and
grit. All good things, in my opinion, it's just not a big fun/joyous
affair. It most certainly can be a productive one, though. Making
just one inch of progress in this day is going to make us feel better
and accomplished. Choose a task. Follow it through. Check it off your
list and go to bed a little more satisfied with yourself tonight.
See? Not so complicated.
Saturday, May 5, 2018
Before dawn, the Moon dances
in a nice Earthy trine with our Sun in Taurus. This is nice.
Grounded. The emotional body is well settled, here. By 6:17 AM, the
Moon melts in sextile to Neptune likely prompting us to sleep in or
linger in dream. And WHY SHOULDN'T WE? It's the Saturday. Aren't
alarm clocks illegal on the weekend? If not, they should be. Anyway,
Saturday comes in gently.
By noon, the Moon is
empowered and brought to a more fine point of focus by way of a
sextile to Jupiter in Scorpio. After our leisurely morning, we may
take on some weekend warrior tasks. This is the energy we need to
help us dig into such.
But, our progress may not be
fast enough for Mercury in Aries. The brain speeds ahead while the
emotional body and solar body are still inclined to take things step
by tedious step. Mercury in Aries? Not so patient. It wants to be
done yesterday. And that fact is lit up as the Moon passes by Mercury
by square a little less than a half-hour beyond the Jupiter sextile.
Reel in your perspective. Breathe. Realize quality work cannot be
rushed and your life is worth quality. Keep looking forward but don't
forget where it is you actually are and don't skip any steps in an
effort to get there more quickly.
By 5:00 PM, eagerness and
desire grows as the Moon sinks into a conjunction with Pluto. There
is temptation here. Potential at emotional manipulation and abuses of
power. But, the same energy that brings these potentials forth also
delivers unto us the resolve to deal with it. Moon/Pluto is super
focused and fearless. Put your head down and push through while
shoving any fears aside. Look at nothing other than your goal while
holding tight to your integrity.
It could very well turn into
a weekend night in which we burn the midnight oil, also. The Moon
moves from Pluto toward a conjunction with Mars at 2:20 AM...which
is a bit restless for most to be able to sleep with. So, we could be
up working on something or we may just find ourselves kind of lustful
or eager at nightfall.
The Moon remains active
through the night. She will meet with Uranus by square on Sunday
morning at 9:48 AM. So within the confines of this week...tonight is
the most restless. However, in the background, the Sun waxes into
sextile with Neptune helping us to relax even in the mix of this.
Yet, that square to Uranus in the morning is certainly unsettled.
With the Sun waxing toward Neptune it could catch us off guard. We
will have about an hour of a feeling of a “dull gong” that
follows that square in the morning while the Moon is Void. Then, when
she crosses into Aquarius at 10:49 AM we will benefit from the
lightness and optimism of Air.
Sunday, May 6, 2018
Today is mostly breezy and
light following the “unsettled” feel of the Moon/Uranus square
that finds us early this morning. The Moon is shook awake but
emotional reaction subdues quickly after. As the Moon enters
Aquarius, the atmosphere lightens and becomes breezy.
There are no major
movements, otherwise, within this day. It offers us a bit of an
extended break. However, we do have a couple of things waxing in that
we probably need to pay attention to.
Overnight, Venus will meet
Pluto by biquintile. This is a minor aspect that merely colors in
nuance but what it can do is exacerbate paranioa and eagerness which
will play into the also waxing Mercury/Pluto square which perfects
early tomorrow morning. Meaning? Tonight may hold nightmares and
echoes of last week's emergence of the Beast.
We faced off with that stuff
once already as the Moon was growing and emotions were greatly
heightened. It is a little less of threat here but still present and
perhaps daunting in our dreams. But, managed correctly and it births
fearlessness, determination and focus. You've got to be brave enough
to stare this stuff down as it emerges, though, to get to that point.
Mercury square Pluto can
cause some really harsh and forceful conversations to occur either in
the external world or within our own heads. Folks may be pushy and
try to be intimidating. You don't have to subject yourself to that.
You are allowed to keep your eyes in your own lane realizing if they
are spouting off at the mouth and what have you...they are probably
scared. You don't have to make that your problem. Nor do you have to
allow them to try to make it your problem. Focus in on what you are
trying to do and sheer away the rest.
Pluto, as this square
perfects, is still headed toward the Relay Race degree in Capricorn
indicating help is still available to us if we need it. Meanwhile,
Mercury moves toward the 22nd degree of Aries whose Sabian Symbol
reads as follows: Gateway opening to the garden of all desired
things. Joy and utter lack of inhibitions in objective life.
Self-exaltation or bondage to the craving for happiness.
See? That doesn't sound so
bad, right? No, it really doesn't. But, here's the problem with that.
Mercury in Aries is still impatient. In square to Pluto, he could be
obsessed with FINALLY getting through that gate to the Garden of
everything he wants. In that, some may be tempted to run over folks
to get there. We could become so eaten up in our heads about what it
is we want to do...then further frustrated as it seems so close but
yet...still so elusive (especially since Venus in Gemini also squares
Neptune tomorrow) that we could, in fact, be tempted to do things to
get there that we might regret.
Plus, Mercury/Pluto can
swing toward negative thinking, self-destructive mentality or battles
over who has the right to make decisions or call the shots.
Tomorrow is a pretty “big”
day in so far as aspects. To meet it on the best ground, use today to
lighten up a little. Do try to be optimistic about your long term
plans for the future. Aquarius can muster that. But, know that the
brain is going to be conflicted and those things we pinpointed as
“wants” in our future at the beginning of the week are going to
seem slippery...elusive...as if they are a mirage or just out of our
reach. ALL THIS IS GOING TO PASS! You know? All we really need to do
is focus in and continue shaping in our hearts what we want this to
look like while sheering away distractions that may cause us to doubt
ourselves and our abilities.
Fun Monday. There is an
insurance commercial that used to be on TV where the agent is dressed
as a fisherman and has a dollar bill on the end of his fishing rod.
He teases a lady with it saying “oooh, almost had
it...ha..ha...here it is, get it.” And tomorrow looks a lot like
that to me. There are other ways it can go sideways, of course. By
way of lying and manipulation in relationships. But, even with that,
it's more self-confrontational than anything. If you can maintain
control of yourself and remain brave enough to face down fears and
impatience while remaining focused on your long term goals, it gets
much easier to manage. For today...lighten up. Take a break. Get some
fresh air. We can deal with these other two messes on Monday. Just
know that the energy is coming in now so that you can be prepared for
it.
