This morning, the Moon is Void after
high fiving Venus in Capricorn via sextile at 6 AM EST. Have these
two bodies been working together the last few days? I'm thinking
maybe they were!
Venus is wrapping up her humdrum “all
work and no play” affairs in Capricorn. She's looking at the Water
Bearer thinking the two can accomplish great things...amazing
things...and realizing that her everyday attire will need to change a bit
when she moves to the new sign.
Moon leaves VOC status at 10:41 AM when
it enters Aries. A new lunar cycle is upon us and, of course, it
starts with our wheels spinning (and probably sinking in mud). The last few ingresses into Aries
occurred (or was largely felt) in the early part of the week (Monday
or Tuesday). This is still true, but I do prefer the actual movement
into Aries to happen on Sunday midday because there is a bit more of
a relaxed atmosphere in order to make the transition. To me, the
shift from Pisces to Aries, feels like the most annoying obnoxious
loud alarm clock has just rattled me from a dream---unsettling.
Saturn shifts gears shortly after the
Moon's transition at 11 AM. Review what you have built and learned.
Saturn is not a light and fluffy planet on its own. But, Saturn mixed
with Pluto? That's some heavy stuff that we've been dealing with for
quite some time. I'm inclined to believe that the retrograde will
have us looking more deeply into our shadow self in a more
introspective way.
A Scorpio Disciplinarian can be
masochistic. And, throughout this transit of Saturn in Scorpio, our
shadow has frequently been displayed on the faces of others for us to
either own, deny or be horrified. It's rather humbling when you
discover little buried inclinations of your psyche that are less than
refined. With this process internalized, we could continually beat
ourselves up on the inside (with Mars RX anger spirals inward, as
well) over the the crusty shards of shadow that are working their way
to the surface of our skin for extraction.
I know I have found myself exhausted
and feeling defeated several times during Saturn in Scorpio (and
Saturn in Libra since it was a transit through my 8th) as
I've frequently been reminded of the areas of myself that are not
pretty and presenting themselves to be dealt with. You can become
self-depreciating in the process. But, don't forget the benefit in
encountering the parts of yourself that may hold you back,
inadvertently affect your dealings with others or prompt you to
self-destruct. You become aware of this ugly and are given an
opportunity to forgive and accept that, yes, you too do have a dark
side.
Much of the time, the ugliness that
surfaces is deeply rooted in our history and tied to some event that
caused us to be fearful, cynical and may even have been born from
extreme trauma (physical and emotional).
The more this is revealed to us, the
more opportunity we have to rework those debunk coping mechanisms and
thought processes we constructed in our early years in reaction to
things we did not understand and transform them into something more
effective and beneficial to our well being. That's the key here. To
take the ugly. Face it. Nurture the innerself that built that wall
and understand that the wall was most likely constructed from a place
of pain.
Allow yourself space to grieve and
heal. Shedding skin and exorcising demons is exhausting. The grieving
process is exhausting. But as this weight is shed, we do become
lighter, fresher and more resilient (given that we release/heal these
things and not allow them to hang around increasing our cynicism and
pain).
What's interesting, too, as we give
ourselves permission to be less than perfect and accept the fact that
we all have inner demons, we garner more empathy toward others and
are less likely to persecute/judge someone who is attempting to also
overturn and release said demons. The way we treat ourselves does,
indeed, affect the way we treat others.
At 3PM Venus meets Mars RX via square.
Venus rules Mars right now and there is tension between the two. On
Tuesday, we feel this as the Moon, Venus and Mars RX form a Cardinal
t-square of their own between 27 and 29 degrees. This speaks directly
of the constructs of the Me vs We continuum which is highlighted
throughout this spring and displayed in the Libra NN/Aries SN axis. I
will talk more about this Cross on Tuesday. But, know that Venus and
Mars (what we want and desire) butt heads in the early afternoon.
This flare up is likely to set an undertone for the next few days.
Venus and Mars will rectify their
differences eventually. When Venus moves into Aquarius, these two
bodies will interact via trine through Air signs. That's considerably
lighter.
Overall, I think we will feel the shift
in emotions today. I would recommend wrapping things up if you need
to but also finding time to rest and prepare for the tension that
will come tomorrow when the Moon passes through the Cardinal t-square
once again. We always react more effectively under pressure when we
are well rested.
The planetary ruler of the Aries Moon,
Mars, is RX. Your emotions, while Moon is in Aries, may give you cues
as to what that retrograde may bring to you. So, take notes.
Also incoming tomorrow (aside from the
Moon's passage through the square), the Sun sextiles Pluto as it
conjuncts Chiron. Sun to Pluto gives us resilience to push through
whatever the meet up with the Wounded Warrior may bring. This is
waxing today and another good reason to be gentle with yourself and
allow room for recuperation and healing.
