This morning we wake up to Moon in
Gemini which can make for a rather interesting day. Mars in
Libra perfects in opposition to Uranus in Aries today. Both
planets are direct and this is the third pass.
Strategy is one of Libra's strong
suits. The shadow of Mars in Libra procrastinates. But, a more
positive expression of the same energy is the blessed ability to
PAUSE before acting in order to think things through.
What makes it interesting, though, is
the Gemini Moon aspects both of these planets harmoniously. Moon
sextiles Uranus in Aries at 2:16 PM. Moon trines Mars in Libra at
2:32 PM.
It would appear that in order to work
this overly masculine energy (Mars/Uranus) properly, you need to
follow the Moon.
Now. That's irony for you!

Truth is, sometimes there are instances
when you need to stand up, rush in and fight with everything you
have. Sometimes, however, you have to fight smart.
Thinking things through can be the
point where Mars in Libra gets stuck. This placement can
over-rationalize things. But, held at a stable mid-point, this can
become the ability to stop just long enough to consider the
ramifications of the consequences and the impact of your actions upon
others.
Libra knows there are two sides to
every coin. And, to fight smart, you have to gauge all the possible
reactions to your strategy. You have to gauge how your actions may or
may not impact “the other” and you have to be able to predict or
at least have an inkling of what “they” are going to do next in
order to form a workable strategy. Libra Mars understands, “For
every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction.”
Two-face. A batman villian that flips coins to make decisions. AKA when Libra goes wrong |
Libra is also a cardinal sign. It does
initiate but Mars in Libra can be smart enough to lead YOU into
engaging. Almost as if it is was your idea! In aspect to Uranus, this
can be the equivalent to gas lighting or catalyzing someone.
No one can trigger you without your permission |
The very energy that may “poke” you
can also be the energy that helps you keep from getting poked in the
first place. Mars in Libra in aspect to Uranus is different than
isolating Uranus in Aries alone.
Uranus in Aries prompts us to act
independently. This is the TRUE lone wolf.
But, Mars in Libra reminds us that even
if our actions are driven from a place of independence, there are
still consequences to others to consider. That's the polarity we are
looking at here.
What Gemini does is come in and show
you all the different ways you can go about doing that. Following the
Moon in this instance, we are encouraged to talk things out with our
friends, gather information, take things a little more lightly, think
it through...move smart (Mars/Uranus).
However, Air DOES fuel fire and we have
two elements (Gemini and Libra) of air coming together here (not to mention the modern
ruler of our 3rd Air sign, Uranus/Aquarius, is directly
involved) with Mars (FIRE!). That means one little spark can be whipped up into a fury
if we aren't careful. Either way, the ability to make decisions
quickly becomes of vast importance today. And, there is energy out
there that will help you do that.
Moon in Gemini also reminds us that our
current Moon's ruler is still retrograde. What has your past
experience in situations like this taught you? When was the last time
you were faced with a confrontation? How did you handle it? Would you
change things? Maybe we should re-think our reactions to violence. Maybe it's time to
re-write our strategy and start fighting smart. Or, maybe it's time
to take what we already know and engage our higher minds to find a
better way to deal with criminal violence and aggression
(anger/frustration) in general.
The last aspect of the day occurs when
the Moon meets Chiron in Pisces via square at 5:12 PM. This can be an
elusive yet painful reminder of something. Chiron in Pisces is the
wound that can cause a feeling of disconnectedness from the Divine or
from society in general. Or, someone could acutely feel pain due to
our current state of division.
Aquarius (the sign under Uranus' modern
rulership) and Libra (where Mars is) both encourage coming together
either through relationship or through friendships and community.
However, Aries is very much a stand alone entity. This is independent
drive (Uranus in Aries) and the ability to be internally motivated at
its finest but it's butting heads with “what THEY are doing” or
“what THEY may think about what you do” or “how this action
might affect them” (Mars in Libra). Our drive is placed in
“partnering” right now. But, at the same time, there is steerage
toward independence and freedom of movement being brought forth from
Uranus in Aries that makes the whole situation paradoxical.
How do you move independently while
working in partnerships or groups? Well, that's a big question for
everyone to ponder right now.
It's an essential one to answer for
yourself too because it's an imperative lesson of the NN in Libra.
Mid-degree planets in Leo and
Sagittarius also aspect this opposition nicely. Who are you (Leo)?
What do you believe in (Sagittarius)? How do you feel about what you
“know” and the company you are keeping these days (Moon in
Gemini)? Do you realize that, yes, you can think and act independently but only a selfish asshole does it without considering the impact on others when doing so. There's a balance to be struck here. Answering these questions posed to us today from the current
planetary (and luminary) positions could help us deal with any thing
unexpected that pops up. But mostly...we may need a BIG
dose of patience.
