On the day of Saturn, it is Neptune who
gets all the press. But, Saturn is exactly the energy we need to deal
with Neptune energy effectively. Thankfully, Saturn is accessible
through a waxing conjunction from the Sun in Scorpio to help us
along.
This morning, we wake up to the Moon in
Virgo. Her first and only major aspect planted officially in this day
is an opposition to Neptune at 11:53 AM. As the Moon opposes Neptune,
he is quivering in his station preparing to turn direct. As he
quivers his energy becomes more and more potent, meaning, the
opposition from the Moon will, itself, be rather potent. Neptune
officially turns direct at 8:32 PM at 4 Pisces 48.
There are many ways the opposition can
work out. But, the easiest option to deal with early in the morning
or even in the afternoon, is to sleep in or take a nap. The overall
suggestion is to take it easy. This isn't a very ambitious day. But,
if you are feeling the waxing call of Sun/Saturn, you may feel
obliged to do a little light work. That's ok. Just don't pressure
yourself too hard. It's been a rough week and we could all use a day
of rest. The Universe hands us that opportunity on a silver platter
today.
Emotionality could increase for some.
Some may have exacerbated illnesses that require more rest. And,
others, still, may just have a hard time getting their bearings to do
much of anything. This aspect can also cause grief, guilt or remorse
to bubble up over recent happenings. These feelings will need to be
addressed effectively and not swept under the rug. Today is the day
to emotionally purge if you find yourself in need of that.
Other than naps, artistic and creative
projects are greatly highlighted. Poetry, music and mystical
entertainment (cinematic magic) fit great in this atmosphere. People
will likely feel introverted and quiet. But, that doesn't mean the
mind is not stirring...because it is.
By midnight, the Moon is sextile
Mercury in Scorpio who is just now falling out of orb of a trine with
Neptune himself. Now he is tightening in sextile to Pluto (perfects
tomorrow). This means the stirring of the emotional body throughout
the day could foster brain swirlings later tonight which could make
it hard to sleep. Or, it could be a night of active dreaming and even
talking in your sleep. It could be that you indulged so much in
Neptune products during the day that our brains are now greatly
inspired to create more. It could be you toked the cheeba a little
too often through the evening and now have gained a nice sense of
paranoia. Or, you know, there could be some drunk texting/dialing
that goes on late tonight. Lots of options here.
To manage this energy effectively,
engage the powers of Saturn to stay grounded and dutiful while aiming
that sense of “duty” toward any bodily or emotional repairs that
need to be addressed. Meditation, yoga, chakra exercises, reiki and
sinking into a nice long hot bath are also excellent ways to
responsibly unwind.
Alcohol and drugs may have an
intensified effect today, so keep that in mind as the draw to engage
with these chemicals will be strong if you are prone to engage with
them to begin with. Make sure you eat something. I rarely drink
alcohol. But, when I know I'm going to be drinking, I always clean my
toilet first. I'll let you figure out why on your own but, I do have
Moon square Neptune and Venus in Virgo..so..
Plus, Virgo has powers that assist with
Piscean energies too. Virgo makes order out of chaos. Chaos and
confusion fall under the reign of Neptune. If you have the energy,
clean your personal space, clear out junk, organize something and
exert your control over your physical environment which fosters a
sense of order and grounding. Sweep out cobwebs and finish any light
chores that need to be addressed before winter officially sets in.
It is also a good day for volunteer
work. Just be sure to guard your own health in the process and make
sure your physical needs are met (rest, food, etc) before embarking
on that. Wash your hands regularly and, yeah, have a little hand
sanitizer, Zinc and Vitamin C handy...tis the Flu Season, after all.
At any rate, the options available here
are only limited by your imagination. We should prepare for an
increase of options because soon the sky will be shifting from
heavily fixed to VERY mutable beginning with the New Moon in
Sagittarius on the 22nd. Today is a good day to shed some
ethereal weight in an effort to prepare for the mobility and
flexibility required to manage that energy.
Folks with mutable charts are going to
be highly affected by Sagittarius season. This doesn't mean the
effects will be horrible, just present with a bit of the spotlight
moving from our fixed and Cardinal signs and drawing in the mutables
and bringing an uptick in the presence of both Neptune and Chiron in
Pisces. Aspects from the Sun, Venus and, eventually, Mercury will
affect mutable planets by square or opposition. Then, all that will
be rectified as Saturn crosses over the early degrees of Sagittarius
at the end of the year. So, be flexible, stretch toward growth all
while bearing in mind that Saturn is coming to rectify and shore up
what Neptune has fogged up so far in our early mutable signs (Virgo,
Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces). Saturn? What happened to Santa?
Oh...well, HE is sleeping!
