This morning we wake up under the
umbrella of Mercury in Gemini sextile Venus in Leo (4:19 AM). Pay
attention to information that comes in from Mercury about Venus
today. It is likely to be flip-flopped and reviewed when Venus turns
retrograde. The Moon is also waxing into square with Saturn Rx in
Scorpio. This is heavy, folks. It fills us with the weight of
responsibility and, on top of that, could pack a depressive punch
with it. Following this, however, the Moon is Void for 2 hours before
diving into Pisces at 10:24 AM. Even though heavy, we may want to
hang on to that feel of Saturn/Moon as we delve into the waters of
Pisces. It makes for a good anchor so we don't drift away and it also
makes a reliable raft to float upon as the waters continue to rise.
We are in a time of a waning Moon.
During which, we are called to let go, release, wash away. There is
no more perfect a Moon to do that under than this one. Pisces does
allow us to relinquish our grip on some things if we choose. It also
allows room for the flood gates to open allowing us to purge
excessive emotionality in an effort to reach more solid ground. There
is room for acceptance, forgiveness and surrender in the Piscean
realm. Feel free to use it if you need to.
The rest of the day, the Moon waxes
toward a conjunction with Neptune which perfects at 2:31 AM. Sleep
comes in heavily tonight for most folks. We rest deeply and are ready
to greet Monday even if we are a bit slow in responding to the
sunrise. Be sure to set your alarm if you have to get up early.

This
morning we wake up slowly under a Pisces Moon in waning conjunction
to Neptune in Pisces. Our Luna energy is on her way to trine our Sun
in Cancer at 10:06 AM. This is a “smooth sailing” aspect that may
call for more indirect engagement in activity rather than direct. We
adjust our tack according to the wind and condition of the seas.
There is not much of a straight line found in that practice. So, if
the direct doesn't work to get you where you need to go, try an
indirect approach.
By
10:12 AM the Moon is in a fortifying sextile with Pluto just as the
Sun passes by the same in opposition at 11:34 AM. Outstretch your
antennae. Some folks will be up to no good. You are going to have to
feel your way through most of this day and keep your radar sharp in
an effort to feel the snakelike energy that may be attempting to
exert itself. In other words, lean highly on your intuition. If it is
telling you that something is up, exit the situation without having
to have an excuse. Of course, watch for the tendency to be paranoid.
But, still, if your gut or something else inside you is yelling
“DANGER, DANGER!” I encourage you to heed that call the best you
can.
At
it's highest, this set of aspects can help a person get on board with
tremendous personal change. We assess and feel our own power and
exert it appropriately within our lives to essentially re-birth
ourselves in a more positive way. At it's lowest, this energy can
produce power plays, oppressive efforts, controlling tendencies,
jealousy, clinginess, or even a feeling of self-loathing and hatred.
Your best bet, under a Pisces Moon, swim away in the light of the
lower energies in this sky playing out. In ego power struggles, let
go of the rope while not standing around and waiting for the abuse to
continue.
Disappear
from the situation if need be; retreat to the safety of your shell.
Overall, today is watery and
deep. There is potential for some really dank emotions to creep out.
There is potential for paranoia and oppressive efforts. Be wary of
all that. In the interim, worry less about what others are doing and
focus more on what it is you are trying to do while sidestepping
anything that falls in your path as an obstacle. Pay close, CLOSE
attention to your internal guidance system and heed it's calls if it
tells you something is “off” or “not safe.” Grieve if you
need to. Address the emotional body's needs with meticulousness while
realizing that sometimes under a Pisces Moon our emotional bodies
ache with a sense of being unfulfilled. Sit with that ache if it
occurs and assess what it is yearning for without grasping out
desperately in an attempt to manipulate others into giving you what
you need. That's your job. You've just got to sit with yourself for a
time and figure out what that “need” may be. As we lay our heads
down tonight, the Moon is conjunct Chiron and that ache is going to
be prominent. Address the symptoms of that while digging deep to
figure out what it is you feel you may be truly missing.

This morning we could feel a
bit emotionally hung over. Our Pisces Moon had a very watery day
yesterday and this morning we wake up with that Moon in square to
Mercury (8:57 AM). Chatter could feel especially annoying this
morning as we would rather simply continue our wallowing in quiet
solitude. However, a nice trine from Saturn to our Moon brings forth
a bit of traction to help us climb out of this swamp (10:37 AM).
From here, the Moon is Void
for a few hours before entering Aries at 12:38 PM. The pace of the
second half of the day is much more active than what we felt this
morning. We are definitely awake now and ready to engage in whatever
challenge presents itself. Some folks may be downright mad. Some may
simply be feeling motivated. But, either way, there is a sense of
ambiguity wrapped up under the “wake up” feel of this due to a
waxing square between the Moon and her current ruler, Mars in Cancer
(4:16 AM). We must stand up for ourselves. But, we must also protect
the softer parts of us in the process and, again, a direct approach
to any of that may not be the way to go.
Just as the Charioteer in
the Tarot card the Chariot, directs her will in an effort to steer
two horses who, in a different setting, could just as well be
battling one another, give yourself conscious direction. Decide what
it is you really want to accomplish and realize that isn't always
accomplished by simply walking from point A to point B. Give your
opposing energies a common goal and wrangle ambiguity into a common
direction. Also realize a good warrior is well fed. So, you may need
to practice a bit of self care before embarking upon any battle.
Remember, Mars is also waxing into opposition with Pluto. Deeply,
DEEPLY assess your motivations in an effort to find out what is truly
stirring them while know that there may be others out there that are
playing out sneaky plans to regain power and control. Again, even
though we are well away from the Pisces Moon at this point, the
intuitive body is still a factor with the Cancer energy we have in
the sky. If the situation feels dangerous or ominous heed the warning
signals of your intuition and exit the situation. Better safe than
sorry. Batten down the hatches and secure the safety of the home
front.

Today
we wake up under a lusty and blood thirsty Aries Moon in square to
Pluto in Capricorn (12:44 PM). The Moon temporarily linked up a
waxing Cardinal T-square which involved herself, Mars in Cancer and
Pluto in Capricorn. Some shady stuff may have went on overnight. And,
this morning, we wake up in anticipation of it. We can feel that
something shady is going on and we are ready to take the thing out.
It is definitely not the day to run around pushing buttons. Reactions
to such could be extreme. Folks are dealing with some pretty deep
stuff and some of those folks could be reacting poorly to such and
have an itchy trigger finger. If you want to persevere, you best bet
is to steer toward defensive efforts rather than offensive ones.
Don't start no shit in other words...cuz some folks will be locked,
loaded and merely coiled up waiting for an excuse to unload. It's
kind of a dark and scary day to be honest with you.
At 2:52 PM we receive a
shift in the realm of our mental body. Mercury enters Cancerian
waters kicking up the sense of intuition even more. I'm telling right
now, I don't care how empathic Pisces is, I don't care how easily
Scorpio can dig out the root of a situation, Cancer energy is THE
most intuitive sign in the entire zodiac. And, folks with a lot of
this energy feel and respond to it so naturally that they don't
really think much about it. Overtime, these folks learn how to read
the language of their intuitive body and doing so becomes just a part
of life. They incorporate this guidance system and use it much like
folks use their other senses. Today that intuitive gateway opens to
all of us. Learning to read and appropriately respond to the inklings
of our intuitive body is quickly going to become a thing. In that,
the effectively you care for your internal water system, the more
effectively you will be able to meet this call.
Intuition can enter the body
the same way in which anxiety does. It can cause us to feel nervous
and anxious. But, that feeling alone doesn't give you the message. It
just alerts you that something is up. You have to chill that anxiety
out and feel more deeply in an effort to suss out what it is your
intuitive system is trying to tell you. Exacerbating these feelings
of anxieties with stimulants makes it worse. We are more shaky and
more prone to respond irrationally. Our thinking becomes skewed and
our ability to discern the true message is greatly hindered. So, work
to keep your waters clean and know that your logic system is likely
going to answer to your Mood for awhile. We are embedded deeply in
Cancer season at this point. We are one week away from a New Moon in
the sign and we are being given ample opportunity to experience the
elements of the sign VERY deeply in an effort to learn how to wrangle
the energy appropriately in preparation for that. Part of steering
this energy appropriately deals with being master and commander of
our emotional body since, as of right this second, that entity rules
both our mental and physical bodies as well as the way in which we
prompted to express ourselves through ego. So, you don't want to let
your emotions run around unchecked. Get a leash on them and steer
them where you need them to go while expecting the rest to follow in
tow, because it will for better or worse.
By 4:24 PM, we are under the
pressure of our Last Quarter Moon that pits our Lunar energy against
our Solar energy in a battle of “Do we fight? Or do we retreat? Do
we kill them? Or make them dinner?” It's definitely a conflict of
interests that needs to be effectively balanced out. I, personally,
do not understand “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”
but if YOU do then that may be an effective way to handle this. But,
again, we want to steer more toward defensive measures, if and when
necessary, rather than offensive ones a this time. Plus, “direct”
is not something that fits under this sky. So, sidewinding may be
best stepping out of the path of charging invaders in the process.
Our ambition toward engaging
in fights is weakening, too. Mars meets Neptune by trine at 6:43 PM
and some ambitions are due to be washed away or dissolved. At the
same time, we could feel angry for no good reason at all. Or, we
could simply feel as if the energy has been completely drained out of
us. Our anger melts into tears and there could be a bit of remorse
for past actions wrapped up in that too. This trine melts Mars in
away that imbibes him with compassion and empathy which is probably a
good thing since he is also still waxing into opposition with Pluto.
This aspect can bring a sense of softness to that lusty, power hungry
and potentially devouring aspect. Release the grip on your anger and
let it dissolve. Treat the real pain that prompts it. Cry if you need
to. But, get the poison out of your emotional body that prompts
bitterness, a need for revenge, clinging controlling efforts and
subservient control or emotional manipulation tactics. Just let it
go. Let it all go. Open your hands in release.
This conscious release can
produce feelings of extreme elation (eventually) and even a sense of
stronger independence and freedom of self. The anger is not allowed
to control us anymore. We can use it for motivation. The Moon meets
with Uranus at 11:17 PM. Either way, whether we release our hold on
our anger and hurt or grasp more tightly to it, our give-a-damn about
the whole thing breaks for better or worse under this conjunction.
Letting go produces the higher expression of Moon/Uranus while
holding on could produce an impulsive explosion. So, where you end up
is your choice. Be more free? Or be the victim of your own pain and
anger? Your choice. Which you are free to make. You are also free to
carry around the consequences.

Shew,
finally today is a bit lighter and more mobile than most of the
previous week. This morning we wake up to the Aries Moon making a
jubilant trine with Jupiter in Leo (4:02 AM). She waxes into trine
with Venus in Leo at around close to the same time (9:47 AM). These
two trines are felt in tandem and they have us regrouping and
starting to feel a bit better about ourselves. It's not very
ambitious though. We are more inclined toward self-indulgence than
taking to the battle field or piling on extraordinary amounts of
work. We are ready to call a halt to this washout of a week.
After
the trine with Venus, the Moon is blessedly Void until entering
Taurus at 3:50 PM. This gives us a chance to wrap up what we've
started earlier in the week or to slack off and do not much at all.
Nothing is going to come of it, right? So, why not have something a
little rich and sweet for lunch. Treat yourself. Romance yourself a
little. No one's watching and who gives a flip if they are. You are
allowed to do this. It reminds me of a story someone told me about
her Dad. He was a hard worker and one day he came home exhausted from
work and sat himself down in his chair with a whole gallon of ice
cream and a spoon. When her mother walked in to ask what he was doing
eating ice cream before dinner he said, “I'm eating ice cream
because I'm an adult and I can.” Yep. There ya go. You have that
authority too. Why are you eating an ice cream sundae for lunch?
Because, you earned the money to buy it and you can. That's why. So,
indulge yourself a bit and share some while you are at it or simply
encourage others to do the same. We all deserve it.
At
7:35 PM, the Moon brings a welcomed bit of Earth to our mental bodies
via a sextile from the Moon to Mercury in Cancer. This is nicely
solid and brings form to any intuitive inklings the mental body may
be picking up on. It brings those inklings to ground and helps us
make a solid decision in regard to them. It's a nice, grounded,
realistic approach colored by the softness of Cancer. Rich. Fertile.
Grounded. Not too stubborn. Not too malleable. Just right. We feel
better. We are thinking more clearly. Today offers a welcomed break
from an otherwise tumultuous week.

On
this last day of our work week, we find the Moon in stable Taurus
waxing into sextile with Neptune in Pisces (8:29 AM). We are slow and
subdued coming out of the gate this morning. We plod awhile and nap
awhile not getting too caught up in work or business but we have
enough Earth to keep us centered within the day. This is a nice and
easy feeling but, it could also be a bit lazy. I find no fault in
that.
Energy
does pick up a bit as the day moves forward and the Moon makes a nice
sextile with Mars in Cancer. Again, this isn't overly motivating but
it does give us the energy to do what needs to be done to finish out
this week. Forward moving efforts are smooth and sturdy but not
overly quick. Taurus doesn't move quickly. Cancer certainly doesn't
move quickly. But, there is an ability to casually move some ground
here if we need to. That ground moving is fortified by endurance as
the Moon waxes into trine with Pluto at 4:24 PM. Enjoy. The. Hell.
Out. Of. The. Practical. Grounding. Gifted. To. Us. Under. This. Sky.
It is not going to last forever but it sure can be enjoyed today. Get
your feet underneath you and don't forget to enjoy some of the
tangible pleasures of life.
Today
is wonderfully stable. You can do and accomplish just about anything
you want...even if that anything is nothing.

Remember
when the Moon was in trine to Jupiter and Venus under our Aries Moon
on Thursday? That set of aspects helped us to feel better and
encouraged us to relax and indulge a little. Well the same planets
are back in play today but engaged by square with our Moon in Taurus.
We could actually indulge a little too much and become selfish in
those efforts in the process. Instead of gobbling up all the goodies
for yourself, share the blessings all around. Instead of steering
toward selfish overindulgence, steer yourself toward generosity and
benevolence. Some folks will be right down full of themselves today.
Others will be completely devoid of ambition and ready to settle into
some serious rest and relaxation. I'll take door number 2 says the
Libra. Yeah I could get on board with some R&R after this week
runs its course. I encourage you to do the same and NOT feel guilty
about it.
Though,
you may feel a little guilty if you've shirked all your
responsibilities as the Moon moves into opposition with Saturn in
Scorpio at 5:52 AM. This looming heavy energy can be thwarted if you
indulge AFTER you've accomplished what needed to be accomplished. Or,
it can bring in depression that potentially expresses itself in the
form of a bit of narcissism...not to mention emotional over-eating.
Don't get too caught up in your own drama. Alright? Try not to take
yourself too seriously. There really is nothing wrong with taking a
day off. Yet, you don't want to completely shirk your
responsibilities either. So, make sure those i's are dotted and t's
are crossed and then relax without shaming yourself about it. We are
not machines. We do more than work..or at least we should.
After
the Moon's opposition with Saturn, she is Void until entering Gemini
at 8:16 PM. The first aspect from our Gemini Moon is a square to
Neptune occurring at about midday tomorrow. So, Sunday doesn't look
overly productive either. Plan to wind down and allow the tides to
rise. Foster a sense of gratitude about where you currently are even
if that place is not the place you dreamed up to be yet. We all have
work ahead of us. But, stopping and checking out the scenery while
feeling blessed for how far down the path you've come already is just
good practice. Allow that gratitude to trickle over into the lives of
others. Share your blessings and be open to the sharing efforts of
others. Remain grounded and practical while giving yourself
permission to call a time out if you need one.
