This morning, the Moon is
Void in Aquarius all day long following a square with Jupiter in
Scorpio at 1:11 AM this morning. There may have been some things that
occurred over the weekend or recently that you need to allow to sink
in and think about. I would expect this to be particularly true if
you have planets around 3-7 degrees fixed, or so. Or, perhaps you
just need a day to mull over happenings in general.
Either way, with Moon in
Aquarius VOC having reached a square with Jupiter prior to, whatever
was on your brain when the Moon went out will likely roll around in
your brain until she comes back on in Pisces tomorrow at 6:54 AM. If
you find this to be the case, allow the thoughts to bounce around but
try to avoid over-thinking or over-analyzing. Check perspective.
Detail. All that. But, from a position of observance or study. With
the Moon Void, it is a good way to approach issues. Contemplative.
Logical but also practical. Not immersed in emotion.
That last part will come.
The emotions. We are assessing in the mental realm this day. Not
initiating or really engaging in new stuff but toiling in routine
letting information swirl in the brain space. Then, when the Moon
enters Pisces, the tides rise. The emotions bubble forth. Maybe all
of them.

The Moon dove into Pisces
this morning just around sunrise on the East Coast. Previous to this,
she was Void for over 24 hours. As she reawakens in the sign of the
fishes, so do our emotions in a very permeable and undeniable way.
How that unfolds has a lot to do with what types of emotions we have;
how we deal with them and how we interpret them. How we are able to
cope/deal in general. Our ability to handle sensitivity, empathy,
confusion, acceptance...I can't think of an emotion that could not be
in play here but our ability to handle them is tested. It's a Pisces
Moon so all the feelz and all the things have a tendency to all swirl
together.

And, you know? That's not
even the half of it. This is a busy astrological day that does a lot
of “bringing it all out in the wash.”
The Moon begins her trek
through Pisces with a sextile to Uranus in Taurus at 8:58 AM. Behind
that major Lunar aspect, interestingly, we have a lot of minor
aspects between quite relevant bodies that definitely personalize
what is happening in the energetic field. What the sextile with
Uranus offers is an opportunity to touch ground a bit, be limber
enough to flow into the changes that are presenting themselves and to
increase our expertise/insight into our own emotional nature. The
minor aspects in the background have Mercury in Gemini Quintile
Chiron indicative of the brain the and the wound. Additionally, we
have the Sun and Mercury both completing biquintiles with Pluto. This
brings in shadow, fear, power, depth...core pieces of our minds and
identities. It's almost like a psychic window full of information
about oneself opens. Not outwardly. Inwardly. Whether this window is
viewed at all or any disclosure of its contents depends on the
person. You know? Very personal. But, there is quite a bit of
potential to learn a lot about yourself in the set up in general.
Learning about
yourself..that inward door that gives you insight into the deepest
cores of self...is used by the next minor aspect created by the
Sun..an inconjunct to Jupiter which, Mercury, repeats shortly after.
The personal nuance swirls
(in addition to minor aspects from the Moon to Chiron, Venus, Pluto,
Mars and the nodal axis) integrating the information/emotional impact
between 9:38 AM and 9:09 PM. Then, at 9:36 pm, The Moon touches even
more solid ground with a stabilizing and re-selfsteadying sextile to
Saturn Rx in Capricorn. Less than a half hour later, Mercury and the
Sun meet by conjunction at 15 degrees of Gemini.
Sabian Symbol of 16 Gemini:
Woman agitator makes an impassioned plea to a crowd. Rising of the
human soul in demand for the recognition by the outer nature of the
needs of inner being. Self-assertion
I've read the symbol stated
several different ways. As above “woman agitator” also
“suffragist” and “woman activist.” So, we get the impression
from all these this is a woman which certainly can play out literally
by way of being deployed within global events. But, what we want to
look at is on a personal level for reference here. In that case,
“woman” implies the emotional/nurturing/intuitive side of all us.
Regardless of the literalness of representations we may encounter in
our walking life experience, what this conjunction calls us to do is
recognize what part of our softer bodies are crying out to be
recognized. What emotions, what intuitive inklings, what in the
feminine parts of us is sending up pleas to be heard? Though the
wording of the symbol varies the common theme speaks of women,
passion, emotion and verbalization of the same to an audience. Expect
to encounter it both internally and externally. Know it is the
internal meeting with this feminine plea that is the most the most
relevant.
Did I mention that we are
not finished with this day yet? Because we are not. Shortly following
the Sun/Mercury conjunction Venus stands in opposition to Pluto. The
woman who was pleading, whatever internal call wells up inside us
during the Sun/Mercury conjunction...it is standing off with who it
is she has pinpointed as the person in power. The person in control.
Her oppressor. Whomever has been denying her the right to be.
In the personal realm this
can be you standing off with yourself, your fears, demons, stuff like
that. You may be in a face to face stand off wearing either set of
shoes...the perceived victim, the perceived oppressor. Either way,
there is a push and pull with the concepts of power, control and
balance of the same. We are also given a clear view of the things in
our shadow that may affect our ability to maintain tangible resource
(money) or that may serve as blocks to building intimacy or
maintaining relationships with others. And, I mean, these are not
light energies here. We have an opposition occurring between Cardinal
signs one representing how we employ our own power within the world
and the other being...are you able to sleep at night? Does this make
you feel comfortable? Are you accountable for how you feel? Are you
oppressed? Do you have any power? Outer “presence” self versus
how that sits with our own inner softer bodies. Recognizing your
power in any given situation (because it does exist in some form) and
properly asserting it in a way that is true to your heart...is kind
of the end goal here. I'm not saying that is what happens today. I'm
saying that's the current direction we are being kicked toward in a
few different ways.
Now. The downside of
Venus/Pluto and Sun/Mercury can be viewed if we consider someone
having just met with a bunch of really unsettling realizations
lately. Sun/Mercury hits and they respond impulsively and by way of
sinking into shadow. Something like that could sour fairly quickly.
With Venus in opposition to Pluto things like envy, greed, vengeance,
emotional manipulation, abusive/manipulative or codependent
relationships... all that could be viewed shadowy in the realm of
heart and emotion are put into play. This makes contact with some
very deep and core psychological issues...again...the roots of which
are exposed if not flat out raw and vulnerable.

It's important, I feel, to
remember that Mars is in his retrograde shadow. As he continues to
slow down all his energies will feel more potent. In Aquarius, the
shadow of that can be quick and “knee jerk” or impulsive action.
Coldness mixed with anger. Anger seemingly devoid of emotion even
violence encountered between friends, directed toward the community
or directed FROM the community. But, the high end calls us toward
learning how to NOT respond impulsively. How to remain cool and keep
our actions conscious and in the interest of social welfare not in
war against it in an anarchist or coldly destructive way. I guess
what I'm trying to say as we start full stride into this week there
could be some really deep personal issues that come forth.
Disagreements. Punctuated passionate collective energy. Many will be
quite primed to react to it rather quickly be this experienced
externally within the collective or on personal levels. HOWEVER, it
is indicated that we do not allow the “knee jerk”, the feeling of
haste or the “shock” of whatever to dictate our next step. It's
encouraged that we breathe through the surges of adrenaline until we
are clear enough to act.
 |
| Mars in Aquarius calls for our EXPERT Mars. Not an impulsive novice |
We are going to revisit
whatever action we take at this time once Mars flips Rx and returns.
So, we want to make that next act consciously. Measure twice, cut
once. When we do discern the best appropriate course of action, we
will want to be able to execute that action as precisely as we can.
That will not likely be doable while our heads and hearts are still
so screwed up over it. And...they will be. After this “astrological
eventful” day, Mercury meets Neptune by square in the morning. See?
We aren't even close to being ready to do something with a clear head
yet, here. If it isn't a true a physical emergency...as in, if it's
not something that literally requires you employ trained emergency
response...then don't treat it as such. Draw your attention
internally, instead, (dealing the best way you can with what you find
going on in there) delaying any kind of action until that has chance
to congeal a little bit. Aside from that, I would not be surprised to
see the weather making a lot of headlines this week. Storms roil
within and are echoed in the outside world. Or, maybe it's the other
way around. Either way, as within so without. As above, so below.

This morning, the Moon still
swims the sensitive depths of Pisces as Mercury meets Neptune by
square at 10:07 AM. The Moon works her way toward the now waning
water trine between between Jupiter, Neptune and Venus through the
entirety of the day. She will trine Jupiter at 12:39 pm. This takes
whatever we are feeling and makes it bigger for better or worse.
Then, the Last quarter Moon
perfects. The Sun in Gemini wanting to be light and social is at a
disconnect with our Pisces Moon who may be feeling a bit overwhelmed.
We may need a break from all the information and chatter. Either way,
this lunar cycle is drawing to a close in preparation for our New
Moon in Gemini in about a week.
At 3:26 PM, the Moon is in
full sink by way of a conjunction with Neptune. Empathy and
sensitivity are at mass capacity. It can be experienced as fatigue,
confusing or overwhelming emotions, emotional hangover or even
personal illness. It's very tender and says that the emotional body
of yourself and others needs to be treated with extreme gentleness
and good boundary.
After the conjunction with
Neptune, the Moon exacerbates the waning square between her ruler and
Mercury in Gemini. She official comes to odds with Mercury at 4:35
PM. Much may not be said. Or, gossip/chattery information my hold
personal emotional impact. We may be in no mood for curiosities or
talking to anyone needing to just spend time in quiet.
At 11:53 PM the Moon (and
mood) deepens, stabilizes/grounds a bit with a sextile to Pluto at
11:53 PM. We will likely swim in deep underwater caverns of our own
psyche this night. The Moon meets Neptune by square at 1:58 AM making
the sleeping/dreaming self and what we could potentially learn about
ourselves in that realm quite a bit of punctuation. Of course, I
suggest taking note of any dreams that may have occured this night in
an effort to potentially uncover some very valuable information from
the subconscious psyche; but, know in the external world this is the
mark of the addict, the person who represents himself falsely, the
deceiver/liar...the snake oil salesman or charlatan. On an internal
level it can cause questions issued to self that sound a lot like
“who am I” bringing up issues of victim-hood or savior-ship. Even
disregard. It could dredge of feelings of not being seen or
heard...overlooked. Cast out or aside. Perhaps even forgotten. It's
confusing and it's emotional....as if it were raining in our hearts,
our heads, and it likely feels as if that internal sentiment echoes
across the globe in a way that may have some reaching for their
hammer to build an ark. At 2:36 AM, the Moon settles just a bit by
way of the comforts of Venus in Cancer through trine. She is Void
following this aspect. She will wake up in Aries tomorrow evening at
5:26 PM. Another rather long VOC Moon period beginning in the morning
will allow us to settle down and come to ground...again, still
mulling it all over.
Thursday, June 7, 2018
This morning the Moon is
Void as Mars officially makes a conjunction with the South Node. We
were given prelude to this energy while the Moon was in traveling
through Aquarius this weekend. On a personal level this is revisiting
actions we have taken in the past. Perhaps reaping consequences of
the same. It can involve running into folks from our past or this can
merely take place in the mental realm. Either way, the Moon is Void,
so emotional reaction is a bit lower than it could be. But, with
Mercury and the Sun still within strong orb of Neptune, we are still
sensitive. Fatigued. A little confused. The Moon is Void...but, she
IS still in Pisces having gone Void in trine to nostalgia (Venus in
Cancer) and our own roots which have been exposed in that viewing
window all week.
At 5:26 PM, the Moon awakens
in Aries. The Mood shifts tremendously from floating to a call toward
“it's time to do, to fight, to engage, to assert.” Yet we are
likely hindered from doing so in some way since her first aspect is a
conjunction to Chiron at 9:24 PM. It may not be favorable to take a
similar course of action now in relation to what was uncovered about
our past actions. Old ways of doing things work less and less these
days. Trying to repeat past actions can have us devolving into
frustration and a feeling of ineffectiveness OR we can accept what
is, who we are and act in a way that heals our feelings of being
ineffective or incapable by looking for alternative or new ways to
engage. Ways that are wholly in tune with who we have become and who
we strive to continue to grow into. Ways in which we accept our own
limitations and take conscious action that aligns with the sense of
self in innovative ways.
All this trickles into
tomorrow as the first aspect of the morning has the Moon waking up in
sextile to her ruler (in his retrograde shadow and on the South Node)
at 6:56 AM. We are likely tempted to spring into action. But instead
of doing anything swiftly, I suggest you do it mindfully as two
minutes later that same Moon has the thumb of Saturn placed firmly
upon her head reminding her of things like responsibility, maturity
and accountability but coming through feeling a lot like depression
or heaviness. Mars is hitting Saturn by semi-sextile. Begging us to
employ our past experience responsibly and with foresight in an
effort to move forward. FORWARD. Not backward repeating the same
mistakes or actions we have taken in the past. But, taking what we've
learned since then and NOW taking action with that and the interest
of our futures in mind thus paying our future self favors instead of
building regrets. Mindful. Go to bed with that word on your brain
tonight so you have it at the ready when you wake up in the morning.
Friday, June 8, 2018
This morning the Moon
sextiles Mars and squares Saturn as I mentioned at the end of
yesterday's write up. Mindful and conscious action is called for, if
any at all. The rest of the day minor aspects fill in personal nuance
delivering information to us about what we think, believe, what lies
in our own psychology and shadow that has impact upon what we do and
who we think we are. It's all an internal swirl that will likely call
us to personal introspection more so than outward action. I'd not
take action on anything right now unless I felt very sure and really
rooted in doing so.
Saturday, June 9, 2018
The Moon lightens up quite a
bit by way of a sextile to the Sun at 3:30 AM. But, that doesn't help
the morning much. It's dark and heavy still as the Moon in Aries
meets Pluto in Capricorn by square at 7:43 AM. This brings everything
from yesterday strongly to the surface this morning. We square off
with our fear, our roots, the ways we've exerted and used our power
in the past, the way we use it now or even if we recognize we have
any versus giving it all away.
That kick starts the brain
spin found in the sextile between the Moon and Mercury at 12:04 and
the discomfort brought about by the lunar square to Venus in Cancer
at 3:38 PM. From here, our Aries Moon is Void until entering Taurus
overnight.
 |
| round and round your brain goes...where it stops, nobody knows |
Typically the Moon's
entrance into Taurus is where we are given a chance to ground and
settle down a bit following the rambunctious energy of Moon in Aries
while Uranus was there. But, now, the transition is less settling and
more potentially unsettling while also offering us a chance to break
free of malefic ruts, habit and routine at the same time. So, I can't
say we “settle down” after the Moon hits Taurus for bit. As a
matter of fact, chances are it feels rather unsettled and not likely
comfortable through the night and into tomorrow morning. The night
may not find very many sleeping soundly. The ground could rattle from
all the tossing and turning if nothing else.
Sunday, June 10, 2018
We stumble out of a restless
night and gradually regain our footing as the day progresses by way
of a Lunar sextile to Saturn in Capricorn at 12:21 PM. This is
quickly followed by an ambiguous square to Mars in Aquarius at 1:22
PM. If you are uncertain...don't. Take the practical route before the
complicated or convoluted. If you aren't sure what to do next, resort
to self care and grounding for best results before you bother to
engage in anything else.
At 1:15 AM, the Moon stands
off with Jupiter which, again, takes whatever it is we feel and makes
it bigger for better or worse. Any time you spend caring for and
settling the emotional body during the day sincerely pays off as the
night falls forward.
Monday we wake up groggy but
with some grounding and plodding begin to feel a bit more focused by
midday. Things start to congeal more and more in our minds and softer
bodies as we are continually called to wind down this Moon cycle in
preparation for the new perspective or personal statement we plan to
create for the New Moon in Gemini.
