Today the Moon is still
active in Libra and still feeling a bit of pressure to boot. She is
square Pluto in the hours before daylight which gives us a sense of
daunting, perhaps, as we rise this morning. Feelings are deep but we
don't want them to be. Of course, this fits nicely with sunrise
services that celebrate rebirth and renewal. Our inner spaces respond
well to a call toward the same.
At midday, Mercury is aflame
during a conjunction with the Sun in Aries. This occurs as Mercury
moves away from and the Sun moves toward 12 Aries: A flock of white
geese flies overhead across clear skies. A soul as yet socially
immature and unadjusted; not come down to full and steady concrete
expression. Self-discovery.
With Mercury retrograde, not
much may be said outwardly but internally there is much to think
about. There could be some clarifying personal realizations here or
just a point in the day to stop and consider various things about
ourselves. As the conjunction occurs in the sign of Aries, there is
also chance of headaches. Of course, due various things...not
excluding allergic response to tree pollen or changes in the weather.
As the conjunction between
Sun/Mercury occurs, the Moon also finds Uranus (2:31 PM) by
opposition. This puts a little extra pizzazz into the brain activity
and can kick off insight not only into your own nature but how that
nature operates in relationship. This can help you assess if that is
a good dynamic or one that needs to be better balanced. It's
information worthy of your observation more so than an immediate
response. However both these aspects can translate to a feeling of
anxiety or need for immediate response. The true reward is found in
collecting the personal data and letting it gestate more so than
reacting to it at this time.
Also, it is highly like for
more of Mother Nature's creations to burst forth with more new life
within the confines of this day. Watch for new to blossom around and
within you.
Following the opposition
with Uranus, the Moon is Void until entering Scorpio at 6:59 PM. The
emotional body gets a bit of reprieve before the Mood deepens. This
is followed by a rather seductive opposition from the Moon in Scorpio
to luscious Venus in Taurus. Indulgences are highly favored here.
Massages fit well as do late night trips to the fridge for a snack.
Feeling run deep and we are in the mood for comfort and tangible
pleasures.
The early parts of the day
are best for checking in with yourself. Reviewing short or longer
snippets of your personal history and gleaning the insight found
therein. Tonight, as the Moon leaves her Airy position in Libra
diving into the depths of Scorpio, the atmosphere quiets down.
Becomes more subtle and less busy. We are left with the quiet and our
thoughts likely seeking some gentle reprieve prior to the new work
week kicking off in the morning.

This morning, still waters
still run deep in the emotional sphere. However, the Moon finds the
waxing Mars/Saturn conjunction amicably at midday. This is focus and
traction. Mars/Saturn gets a bad rap by conjunction. It can be a mark
of cruelty and even blockage in the realm of physical action. But, as
the Moon finds this supportively, what it can provide is focus and
traction. Yes, it will hold us to task, maturity and accountability.
Scorpio Moon has the endurance to follow through. It's not light airy
and fun, though. It's quite a sober affair. But, in truth, you can
accomplish a great deal with this energy at under you in support.
What's important to remember is to work with the blockages. By that,
I mean if you begin doing something and experience a lot of
resistance, move on to something else. Follow how you feel and your
instincts until you find an activity that flows more steadily. That
will reduce the tendency toward frustration. Problem with that is
with the Moon in a fixed sign, we are pretty determined to do exactly
what it is we had in mind to do. So, once you meet resistance in
those activities, we are more prone to put our heads down and push
extraordinarily hard in our efforts to get it done.
Yet, it is a water Moon. Water that is steered and corralled by Mars/Saturn. Working WITH the
resistance instead of continually pushing against it may steer you
more toward success or completion.
The conjunction between Mars
and Saturn officially perfects at 11:45 AM at 9 degrees. Saturn is
moving very slowly these days. He will station retrograde at 9
Capricorn 09 on 4/17. As he slows and while he stations his energies
will be particularly astute. We may feel stuck or heavy until he
settles more fully in his “backward” direction. The Sabian symbol
for the Mars/Saturn conjunction reads as follows: An angel carrying a
harp comes through a heavenly lane. The basic harmony of fulfilled
selfhood. Realizing harmony in everyday life through detached and
lofty understanding.
As you can see, there is
nothing in that symbolism that suggests brutality. However,
Mars/Saturn, as I said can be brutish and a fixed Scorpio Moon can
and will absolutely push itself to the extreme of its limitations.
Yet, this is unnecessary! Again, work WITH the resistance instead of
pushing against it. We are being ethereally guided here. The hardest
part? Neither energy coming from the sign of Capricorn or Scorpio, do
well with being led. It can be quite a stubborn energy. But, the
answer here is to surrender and allow yourself to be led in your
course forward. That is how we can monopolize upon the grit and focus
brought to this day.
At 10:35 PM, the Moon meets
Neptune by trine and we are ready to lay our tools and toil down for
the day and restore ourselves in sleep. With the Moon now waning and
good rest likely in short supply under our recent Full Moon, this is
the chance to really sink into dream and restore overnight.

Our Moon still plunges the
depths of Scorpio today meeting her ruler, Pluto, by sextile at 10:10
AM. This is followed by a lunar conjunction to Jupiter at 12:07 PM.
We are likely ravenously hungry. A hearty lunch is just a given under
this sky. However, there is also extreme access to focus in this set
up. Jupiter and Pluto in waxing sextile is likened to a laser beam of
focus. With the Moon there, we can point that toward anything we feel
like inspecting, investigating or figuring out. But, yeah..it's
hungry. Might wanna feed it well...as there is nothing worse than a
seething hungry beast.
Following the conjunction
with Jupiter, our Scorpio Moon is Void until entering Sagittarius at
2:56 AM tonight. Fixed Void Moons can feel heavy and stuck. But, this
is a wonderful time for putting finishing touches on ongoing
projects. Assessing the foundations you've built thus far this year
in your life. It's also great for detox and purge efforts.
Collecting, donating or recycling items you have your home that may
have been uncovered in your early Spring cleaning efforts is a
wonderful expression of the energy. As the Moon is Void, there is not
much indication of starting anything new in our afternoon hours. But,
you certainly can progress in personal introspection or acts that
help to clear or clean space in your environment. Capricorn and
Scorpio both favor resourcefulness.

This morning the Moon
resides in the sign of the Archer. We will be quite inclined over the
last few days to rethink absolutely everything in regard to how it
may or may not affect our future plans. Sagittarius is a sign of
growth and expansion. However, the brain spins as Mercury Rx meets
Mars in Capricorn (3:06 AM) by square and we will likely rethink what
actions we have taken in the past and question our motivations for
the same. Our personal theories may flip flop or we may merely
scrutinize them and look a little more closely. Plus, with Mars and
Mercury in harsh aspect, the brain and the tongue could have quite a
quick and sharp edge. You don't want to inflict yourself with overly
harsh criticisms. What's done is done and if you trip over something
you aren't pleased with in regard to yourself, there's no need for
self-evisceration. Note it and your ability to change if you want
moving forward.
Life is an ever unfolding
learning process. None of us are expected to get everything right the
first time. Cut yourself and others some slack. But, do know folks
have a great deal on their minds these days and their actions will
illustrate these thoughts and considerations. As a matter of fact,
Mercury Rx square Mars can be so caught up in the world of inner
thought while also still trying to feel accomplished that it becomes
accident prone. Slow down a bit and set your pace on step by step
while knowing this may be hard because both the signs of Sagittarius
and Aries like to go fast! Yet, with this set up, you want to deal
with matters more like they are a marathon than a sprint. Use Mercury
Rx to take the time to consider your motivations and goals honestly.
Use Mars in Capricorn to maintain control over your actions instead
of trying to move too far too quickly whilst mildly distracted.
Of course, from here,
Mercury will move on to square Saturn which is rather heavy and could
lead us to negative thoughts, speech and what have you. But, the mere
fact that the Moon is in Sagittarius may help the energy feel lighter
than what experienced under Moon in Scorpio. It's pretty key to
maintain your sense of humor, humility and ability to not take
yourself too seriously.
At 8:52 PM, the Moon dances
with Mercury Rx by trine and all that was previously under
consideration and spinning in our heads this morning gently comes to
roost in our emotional body. Then, Mercury officially squares Saturn
just before daylight (4:23 AM) in the morning. We so much want to get
out and about under this Sagittarius Moon. And Mercury/Mars may want
to zip around freely without a care in the world. But, again, it's a
given that we need to be mentally engaged in what we are doing.
Doesn't mean we cannot get out and stretch our legs. Just means, it's
a really good idea to pay attention to what you might be stepping in.
Most of the day's activity occurs in the head. So you will want to
steer that deliberately as well. There may be personal worries that
emerge as we lay down to sleep tonight due the waxing Mercury/Saturn
square. Spend less time worrying and more time seeking solution to
help offset some of the heaviness here.

Today looks really nice
compared to the early part of the week. Much of this week is very
“meh” and we spend a lot of time in personal contemplation and
course correction. There is so much to think about and so many things
that need to be done. We mostly deal with the pressure of that within
the early part of this week. Today, though, Mercury moves out of his
tandem squares with Mars and Saturn and the Moon is unchained
following her groggy foggy square with Neptune at 8:20 AM.
After the fog dissipates the
sky brightens considerably and we feel a bit more inclined toward
jovial activity...you know..ditching the heavy in favor of the happy
for a bit.
The Moon dances in a fire
trine with the Sun (9:32 AM). These two energies want nothing to do
with cumbersome. Mercury and Mars' interaction with Saturn is now
breaking up, we can surely feel the relief of that. This day can play
out as gently fun and active or even feel a bit euphoric or manic.
But, we are soooo done with lamenting the past and ready to move
forward. This is a nice, light active feel that escorts us toward our
weekend.
The Moon continues to wane
encouraging us to let go and release in the emotional sphere which
does offer additional relief. It's a day in which folks will be
inclined to lighten up and ditch the heavy. That feeling is going to
extend into tomorrow morning as the Moon finds Uranus by trine.
This sends the Moon out on a bright and active note. She spends a
large portion of tomorrow in Void status but the feel is not as stiff
and stuck under a Void mutable Moon as it is under a Void fixed Moon
like we experienced with Moon in Scorpio. This is a lighter more
hopeful feel that we simmer in tomorrow.

This morning, the Moon is
bright and inspired by way of a fire trine with Uranus at 9:37 AM.
Following this aspect, she is rendered Void before settling down in
Capricorn at 2:02 PM. The morning points us toward adventure and
lightness. But, still, we are not encouraged to launch new plans.
After the Moon is rendered Void, the emotional body disengages a
little bit offering us a nice break and feeling of lightness.
When the Moon re-engages in
Capricorn this evening, we may consider what chores we can accomplish
in our weekend. But, that's not the mode operandi this morning. This
mix wants little to do with production and more to do with finding
lightness and new experience. I encourage you to indulge that in
whatever way appeals to you. We can worry about “work” and what
have you some other time. Though, if you are at work this morning,
chances are things click by as anticipated without much drama. Enjoy
your freedom today sparing yourself any self-inflicted grief for what
may seem like “shirking” your chores. With a Void Moon, nothing
much would have came from them anyway.
Saturday, April 7, 2018
Ok, the weekend is a little
more dusty than our time spent under Moon in Sagittarius. Today,
specifically, is about grown up love, firm establishment of comfort
and security and hints toward enjoying the fruits of ones labors.
Yes. We may be prone toward production and feel pressure toward the
same. But, Venus in Taurus trine Saturn in Capricorn is like the most
expensive chocolate melting out of a fountain that you've ever
tasted. Capricorn works hard and diligent. Venus in Taurus enjoys the
quality and Cap earns the money to provide the same.
And, it's not like Capricorn
doesn't enjoy this stuff called pleasure. Why the heck do you think
they work so hard? Yet, this is not irresponsible indulgence nor one
that comes by way of complacency. This pleasure has been earned
making it that much more delicious.
The Moon wakes up easy and
leisurely with a trine to Venus in Taurus at 8:20 AM. A little over
an hour later, she sober and task oriented with a conjunction to
Saturn. Then, Venus officially gives a solid hug to Saturn along with
a goodie from her treat bag at 9:37 AM.
The reward of our past
labors inspires us toward more activity that is production and goal
oriented as the Moon meets Mars in Capricorn by conjunction at 1:42
PM. This energy can inspire you gently off the couch and toward
engaging in or task list.
By sunset, it's
wine-o-clock. Time for the goats to lay down their toils for the day
and unwind into relaxation satisfied with the efforts of the day as
the Moon meets Neptune by sextile at 8:46 PM. Overnight, we encounter
our last quarter our Goat Moon squares off with our Ram Sun. We
assess our efforts thus far and reward for progress while delineating
the last few steps we need to make to wind things down before our New
Moon on 4/15. Those efforts (assessing the details of what we need to
do in wrap up) are supported in our tomorrow morning as well. Today,
we indulge a little and work a little before finally settling down
for a nice relaxing and reflective evening.
Sunday, April 8, 2018
This morning could be called
Super Focus Sunday. The Moon sinks into a conjunction with Pluto at
9:03 AM and meets Jupiter by sextile about an hour later. If you have
anything on your task list you need to vaporize, this is your day. No
matter what you want to aim this astute focus upon can be reformed,
completed and absolutely wiped from existence. We are engaged and
in-tune on a emotional level. Mars is steadily stepping away from the
hindrances of Saturn and able to move forward toward his goals more
freely. But, it isn't necessarily a day of levity. It is one in which
we could find a very deep level of personal satisfaction, however.
Things run fairly smoothly
under this set up for most of the day. However, at 10:40 PM, the Moon
is unsettled and potentially made anxious as she meets Uranus in
Aries by square. This sends the night out on a nervous note. But, the
Moon does slip into Void status here hopefully allowing us to settle
down and rest before Monday dawns. Other than that, the day is ripe
with grit, focus and traction allowing us to progress in any
direction we may choose. Physical activity in the meat of the day
will help offset some of the angst of Moon/Uranus as will paying
astute attention to the amount of stimulation you take in during the
day. I suggest unplugging early and engaging in real life rather than
spending a lot of time online or with electronic devices. There's an
element of disenchantment with these entities now anyway. Today would
be a great day to ditch them and remember what life was like before
all the beeping distractions. Wow...THOSE were the days, right? Don't
know if you've noticed or not but you aren't chained to that thing
you are reading this on right now. It's cool. Sometimes I forget,
too.
