As we wake up this morning,
the Moon is Void in Gemini. She will reawaken in her home sign of
Cancer at 2:01 PM EDT. The “feel” of the Void Moon will linger as
we enter Monday. She became Void on Sunday following a passage by
Neptune and Mercury as those two met by inconjunct. Hazy. Foggy.
Confusing. We could feel tired and extra sensitive as the Moon lays
Void in Gemini. Then, as she enters Cancer, of course the feelings
come strongly to the surface for us to deal with.
The first major aspect from
the Moon in this day is a sextile to Uranus in Taurus at 4:30 PM.
This supports us in being well grounded and practical while
conducting ourselves in self-respectful ways which may not include
accommodating the feelings of others. It also comes with the ability
to detach from heavier emotions in an effort to observe them instead
of being drowned by them.
This sextile is followed by
an opposition to Saturn in Capricorn later in the evening. That calls
us from our point of observation and heightened emotional awareness
and pulls us toward direct employment of emotional/intuitive energy
as well as maturity and proper boundary. It can feel heavy...but it
can be used to your benefit much like a weighted blanket helps with
feelings of anxiety. Grounded, mature with an adherence to goal
orientation being key in all that.
Today is good for getting
your bearings. Pluto has turned direct and will now march forward
pushing out the sludge he has gathered during his retrograde. It's a
slow turn around that will help us release our grasp and cleanse from
this “sludge”...but it will take a little while before it feels
better.
Pluto is going to be a
player this week as his energy remains heighted, Venus turns
retrograde under his rulership and Mercury finds him by square
tomorrow. This calls for depth, integrity and fortitude on our part.
As well as patience and a willingness toward potentially confronting
fears and incorporating matters of our own shadow.
Libra doesn't enjoy being
dragged from her lofty views. But, Pluto's station will challenge her
to do so. To dare to look beyond the mask and see her true
reflection. Avoidance could become a “thing” though as Libra can
and will take that route. But, there is no escape for the brain and
the potential harsh edge words/thoughts may develop as Mercury
squares Pluto. The answer is steely fearlessness to look at these
mental/verbal happenings in an effort to glean true meaning from what
is being said to us or by us. In truth, it's more about what is not
being said than the words given to you outright. It's also an
excellent time to reform how we exchange information to begin with
either with others or within ourselves. You can ditch
self-depreciating thoughts, doubts, fears...and reform them into
something more supportive and effective at this time.

Today we begin under the
shedding energy of our Last Quarter Moon that perfects between the
signs of Cancer and Libra before dawn. The day begins leisurely and
subdued as the Moon creates a relaxed water trine with Venus and
Neptune between 8 AM and 2:47 PM.
In the mental realm,
however, intensity grows as Mercury tightens in square to Pluto newly
direct perfecting at 8:01 PM.
Mercury square Pluto can
manifest as fear, obsession, thought looping or fixation. It's best
used to get to the root of fear and focus on reforming thought
patterns to something more supportive. But, it can also kick start
harsh words with the intent of manipulation, fear-mongering, abuse or
control.
The Moon will pass through
this configuration tonight giving the energy emotional impact and
hangtime. This creates a Cardinal t-square that finds outlet in the
sign of Aries.
The Moon passing through
this configuration can equate to nightmares, headaches, paranoia or
even depressed or ill thinking. The outlet in Aries suggests taking a
proactive stance to combat these negative swings by employing the
prowess that is Mars in Aquarius. Stand off in observance of that
which you fear. Ensure that you are in a cool and well
self-controlled space. Know if you need to respond quickly, Mars in
Aquarius will support you in doing so. What we are looking for is a
mindful and precise response toward that which is generating the
negative thoughts or fears.
Whatever this Cardinal
t-square with Mercury and Pluto stir up, you will want to keep it in
proper perspective. The Moon moves from here to trine Jupiter in
Scorpio. Wherever you are emotionally grows as the night moves
forward. And, yes, the trine to Scorpio can be another indication
toward nightmares. Be easy with yourself here. But, stay brave! The
mind can play tricks on you and cause things to seem more dire than
they really are. Fixating on fears and worries never solved anything.
The Mercury/Pluto/Moon
square falls at 19 degrees. The missing leg of that found in Aries
answers to the following Sabian Symbol: A magic carpet hovers over
the depressing reality of everyday life in an industrial area. Again,
suggesting we transcend and rise above the potential ugly and fearful
in an effort to obtain a wider perspective and to keep from being
sunk into the actual scene. To separate or detach from the more
negative by employing the heighest of emotional intelligences. To
combat those that would try to control us with fear or threats.

Following the Moon's trine
with Jupiter before daylight (4:34 AM EDT), she falls into Void
status until entering Leo at 5:13 PM. The emotional energy drops
here. The Moon reaching Void in nice aspect to Jupiter could set the
tone for a drifty morning. Or, it could leave us stewing with the
mental concepts we were inflicted with the night before. It's a bit
easier to navigate them without the emotional influence. We may not
feel like engaging in much other than routine matters. And, with the
Moon in Void status for most of the day, much will click by as
scheduled so that we may ruminate while meddling in mundane matters.
Unfortunately, the night
holds little comfort for us. The Moon in Leo's first aspect is a
square to Uranus at around 7 PM. That's enough to stir discomfort but
it is also catalyst to help us let go or release our give a damn
about more negative emotional matters. The brilliant common sense of
Taurus kicks in to tell us we don't have to slay ourselves with that
anymore. But, it isn't something that necessarily leaves us with an
ability to settle in for the night. Plus, from here the Moon moves to
oppose Mars in Aquarius which could kick start a feeling of ambiguity
or uncertainty about what type of actions to take moving forward.
The opposition to Mars
occurs just before dawn. So, it very well could be a feeling of not
really wanting to engage in the morning but, unfortunately, duty
calls us to do so.

The Moon remains active in
Leo following this morning's early opposition with Mars in Aquarius.
She meets with Venus in Scorpio harshly around midday which is a
nudge toward discomfort and a conflict between what we want and what
we need.
However, the Moon finds
aspect to the rest of the sky amicably following the square to Venus.
At 12:22 PM, she is sextile the Sun in Libra which favors light and
active social interaction. This is followed by a sextile to Mercury
in Libra at 7:22 AM tomorrow which favors animated but pleasant
conversations with friendly contacts. As today moves forward, we
begin to feel a little better. The conflict between fixed energies
breaks up and we are lightened with the addition of Cardinal Air.
Discomfort makes way for levity and perhaps even...laughter.
This evening is great for
entertainment venues, visits with friends or just finding the ability
to more freely find ways to express our emotions. That lightly
entertaining vibe follows us into tomorrow morning.

As the Moon finds Mercury in
Libra by sextile today, she also finds Jupiter in Scorpio by square.
The mind is active and the Moon is prone to see things from a
singular point of view. Mercury encourages us to consider all sides
and weigh out facts logically. However, the square from Jupiter could
skew our perspective making it necessary to zoom in or out as
appropriate.
Speaking of appropriateness,
this is a perfect set up for someone to make some kind of joke that
ends not being very funny due to insensitivity or just choosing to
tease about matters that are deeply affective to the other person.
Doesn't have to be on purpose. It surely can come about by accident
if we are not considerate of our “audience.” Either way, the
ability to not take everything too seriously does pay off. Maintain
your ability to laugh at yourself. Apologize for verbal missteps if
necessary. And, if something is “too much” take a few steps back
from it to regain perspective.
Following the square with
Jupiter, our Leo Moon falls into Void status. During this time, Venus
in Scorpio officially stations retrograde at 3:06 PM. This begins the
metaphorical “exorcism” of Venus. However, as the Moon is Void as
she turns around, we are not likely to notice the effects of it right
away. Yet, this is the point in which the “demons” that stop us
in our abilities to connect with others, that usurp our access to
personal wealth/abundance and the depths of our hearts will begin to
rise to the surface.
You may be haunted by debt.
You may feel slain by memories or happenings that involve old
relationships. You may feel shut out of paradise and even a little
repulsive in general. You may deal with fears that revolve around
matters of intimacy or feelings of monetary or physical lack. The key
being it is time to release and absolve these demons so that we may
essentially purify the poisons in our hearts bringing them forth
stronger and more resilient. It's that path to get to that point that
can seem tortorous. Revisiting past relationships or feeling the
weight of monetary or karmic debt is not a fun activity that folks
willingly sign up for. Yet, as the heart purges and purifies, it will
also be given chance to heal. Be gentle with yourself through that.
Do not linger on self-doubt, loathing or fear of not having enough.
Seek out the things that rise to the surface that are showing you
what keeps you from filling your heart full of what it desires most.
And, be prepared for your opinion to change in regard to what it is
you want in general. That is also due to happen as this retrograde of
Venus continues. But, changing or altering those concepts could be
hard, initially, because this a fixed sign. Plus, it's Scorpio, so
some of this quite deeply rooted. Yet, the work you do here to
release yourself from negative attachment and
subservient/manipulative means of getting what you want, the bigger
the pay off in the end. It's much less about turning outward in
search of treasure and more about turning inward delivering deep
kindness and gentle care toward self, first. Then, turning outward,
eventually to deepen our ties with the types of relationships that
are truly worthy of our hearts investment. In the meantime, we are
yanking back our investments in things that threaten to exploit us.
We cut off the “soul sucking” relationships. Heal. And
subsequently begin to welcome the types of Venusian pleasures that
are more soul fulfilling and healthy. The latter of which occurs
following the retrograde in a more punctuated way. We will know more
about what is truly important to us by then and be given a chance to
detach from that which is not as Venus makes her next two oppositions
to Uranus. If you would like to read more about how Venus Rx may
manifest, you can click
here.
The Moon reactivates in
Virgo at around 7 PM. From here she creates a beautiful Earth trine
with Saturn and Uranus. This gives us personal experience,
practicality, the brilliance of common sense and grounding to use in
an effort to figure out any emotional issue we may be dealing with.
It reminds us we have license to create our own solutions and
encourages us to be resourceful and wise in doing so.
The rest of the night moves
forward without major aspect allowing us to settle in for what could
be the best night's sleep of the week.
