This morning, the Moon
resides and is active in Virgo. However, the first major astrological
event of the day is Mars' entrance into Pisces at 4:23 AM. This is
followed by Mercury's Rx station at 5:49 AM. He starts his back
peddling at 15 Capricorn 08. It's as if he reached Pluto's dark
doorstep and stalled out in fear. Not that I blame him. But, the two
do not officially meet here. Pluto currently resides at 16 Capricorn
32. The two meet by conjunction in January of next year after all of
Mercury's retrograde business. Mercury will retrace his steps all the
way back to 28 Sagittarius 52 before he starts moving forward again
on January 8, 2017. He exits his shadow on January 28 and lingers
next to Pluto the next two days.
On January 28th,
we also have a New Moon in Aquarius. Due Mercury's current condition,
I would suggest waiting to set any New Year intentions, goals or
resolutions at that New Moon. Apparently, 2016 has some business to
wrap up prior to officially handing over the scepter to 2017. So, be
thinking about (and re-thinking, re-scripting) intentions/plans until
then. But, don't set them in stone until the Aquarius New Moon. Or,
you can draft them at the Capricorn New Moon on December 29 and then
offer the revised version at the Aquarius New Moon.
Mars' entrance into Pisces
brings a shift in motivation. We move from pushing and warring in
regard to issues of social justice and technology in Aquarius (not to
mention thinking more than actually doing) and waft into more subdued
and less direct movements. Mars here is not a forthright warrior.
However, what you observe him doing will allude to his true
motivations. Energy is somewhat lax here and will be skewed as Mars
sinks into Neptune, eventually meets Saturn by square and Chiron by
conjunction. He also sextiles Pluto from here. Basically, Mermen
don't kick box. They don't wrestle. They are more lovers than
fighters. Mars in Pisces can be the peaceful warrior. The one who
martyrs himself. Or, the one who operates with a hidden agenda but
his actions eventually give away his true intentions. While Mars is
here, it is advised that we move more slowly and gracefully. We are
swimming, not jogging and you cannot fist fight Neptune. He will just
wear you down to point of exhaustion. So, some subtlety is called
for. Fluidity and flow releasing control to the tempo of the Universe
rather than trying to physically push our way through as there are
strong undercurrents to contend with from time to time. Float more
than force, in other words. This is good energy for dancing, sit-ins
(as far as protests), prayer vigils and...naps.
These two movements together
(Mercury Rx and Mars into Pisces) allude to a period of slow down and
potential demotivation. I'd suggest going with that instead of trying
to rush about and fight the energy. Mercury retrograde (at least at
his station point) is likely to bring hiccups in regard to machinery,
communication devices (such as phones), weather, travel and other
things forcing us to slow down. Might as well take the Universal cue
and don't allow ambition to usurp your safety or sanity. Easy does
it. Deliberately slow down and take your time. Today being the best
day to start.
Hopefully, last night, you
followed the advice from Sunday that encouraged you to do a little
prep work for Monday morning. Making sure your keys are where they
should be and that you have everything lined out so it is easy to
find. Maybe you even prepared yourself this morning by getting up a
little earlier than usual; though, it will be VERY tempting to sleep
in. Even if you are running a little late this morning, I still
encourage you NOT to rush out in a panic. Take your time. Your safety
is much more important than your timeliness.
The Moon in Virgo is opposed
our Sea God, Neptune at 6:24 AM packing grog and fog...plus potential
at confusion and lethargy. She lingers in this drunken state until
meeting her current retrograde ruler (Mercury) by trine at 4:59 PM.
While the influx of Earth here can help us grab a bit of traction, I
caution you to remember Mercury is still pretty wobbly and wonky.
It's still not advisable to just take off running. Make every step
mindful, deliberate and purposefully placed. Stick to your plan but
slow down and address what needs to be addressed still allowing
yourself plenty of time to get to where you need to go.
By 7:41 PM the Moon is trine
Pluto. More grounding is accessible. However, this could bring out
the worry-wort tendencies of our Virgo Moon. Instead of wringing your
hands in fear make a plan to fearlessly address the issue.
At 2:20 AM, the Moon quickly
sobers up due a square to Saturn while also meeting Uranus by
inconjunct AND opposing Chiron. The truth hurts. But, knowing it
makes us wiser.
I see the potential for
vehicular accidents this morning. Illness could be a factor (with
fever, even as Mars enters Pisces). Perhaps some wicked weather and
at the very least schedules overturned due various reasons. It is
definitely Monday. And many will pass off today as a more than
typical one.

This morning we wake up to
the Moon perfecting in Last Quarter (square the Sun in the last
degrees of Sagittarius) at 8:56 PM. This occurs at 29 Mutable 38
calling for flexibility, priority assessment and separating fact from
fiction to some degree. The waning Moon calls for sweeping out of the
previous Moon phase in preparation for the next. That makes this
Lunar Movement excellent for things like detoxing, cleaning,
decluttering and smudging/energy clearance efforts. Let go more than
you hold on and remain flexible. Sagittarius season comes to a quick
close from here.
Following the perfection of
the Last Quarter, the Moon is Void until entering Libra at 9:40 AM
(so, a very brief “rest” on that front).
The Moon remains without
major aspect. Meanwhile, the Sun prepares his grand entrance into
Capricorn at 5:45 AM. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL YOU LOVELY GOATS!
Mostly, today is more
settled than yesterday with a little lingering of Mercury Rx
aftermath. It's still indicated to take your time and to leave room
for unexpected interruptions in your schedule along with
communication/technology/machinery hiccups.

We've a Cardinal sky this
morning a far as our luminaries are concerned. The Moon resides in
Libra as the Sun has entered Capricorn. Again, we are without major
aspect through the day with the first major connection from the Moon
coming through a square to Mercury Rx in Capricorn at 2:05 AM
tonight.
Mostly we muddle through
sharing niceties along the way and cleaning up whatever messes the
first of the week may have left behind. The Moon inclines us to grin
and bear it. It is mostly a humdrum kind of day in which we are left
rolling past events around in our heads as we attempt to prepare for
future ventures at the same time. Tomorrow, however, is rather
Astrologically eventful as our Moon in Libra starts making connection
with other planets also residing in Cardinal signs (Pluto, Uranus and
Jupiter). Saturn will be her support through tomorrow as she holds in
sextile during the meat of the day. We will need to pull out our
highest qualities of both Jupiter and Saturn in order to traverse
this effectively.

Late last night, likely
while most were sleeping, the Moon in Libra found Mercury newly Rx by
square (2:05 AM). This morning, our pretty and smiling Moon meets up
with Lord of the Underworld, Pluto by the same at 6:36 AM. This can
birth paranoia and fear or at the very least make us a bit negatively
inclined as we start our day.
Thankfully, a windy trine
from the Moon to Venus in Aquarius occurs less than an hour later
(7:24 AM) helping us to blow away our fears and shift our attitude
to a less dour position. This aspect favors breezy and enjoyable
rather than stuck in the muck of emotionality.
The lightness offered by the
Moon/Venus trines overlays the conjunction of the Moon to Jupiter at
1:31 PM which expands and punctuates the emotional body. Whatever
emotion we choose grows. Choose the good ones. Joy. Love. This
movement is great for lunch gatherings with friends and other
amicable groups. Holiday themed jaunts definitely fit the bill as
most will be inclined to good cheer. Laughter is extremely contagious
here so spread it about liberally.
The Moon/Jupiter conjunction
coincides with a lunar sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius (2:00) and an
opposition with Uranus in Aries (2:32 PM). Now, the only hiccup about
this is that Uranus is stationed preparing to turn direct on the
29th. So, his itchy energies are a bit exacerbated. Other
than that, with Saturn in play, this is a very stable and joyful
lunar set up. Rudeness, however, does not fit the bill and any
inclinations toward that are going to be met with repercussions.
Surprise gifts or “no thank you needed” charitable acts fit
wonderfully here. Random acts of kindness warm your heart and the
hearts of witnesses/recipients starting another sort of contagion
that folks would line the block to catch.
There could be some antsy
energy that accompanies the Moon/Uranus opposition. To help offset
that, sheer down on the holiday treats and avoid pumping too much
caffeine into your system. Remain well grounded and humbled with joy
and you really cannot go wrong here.
There is definitely
opportunity to start this day off on the wrong foot. However, the
Universe keeps throwing the opportunity to feel better at us. You can
linger in dourness if you want. But, the day plays out much more
enjoyably if you dump that dank cloak quickly and get out and about
sharing, rejoicing and celebrating with folks whose company you
enjoy.
Following the opposition
with Uranus, the Moon is Void until entering Scorpio at 9:33 AM
tomorrow. We go out on a bright note. Then, in the morning, we dive
into deeper emotional matters.
Friday, December 23, 2016
This morning, the Moon is
Void in Libra until crossing over into watery Scorpio at 9:33 AM. We
are not as socially inclined as we were yesterday. We are ready for
more intimate affairs. Something more quiet. More subdued. More
personal.
At 2:26 PM, the Moon meets
the fresh Capricorn Sun in a lovely sextile. We can really get down
to business here. This is well grounded. Well boundaried. Plus, it
packs the punch of endurance. If you have last minute chores to do or
wrap-up business to attend to this energy is supportive for such.
But, it is a quiet and focused kind of toiling.
At 4:26 PM the Moon is trine
Mars in Pisces. A lovely water trine that encourages us to float more
than we force. It's great for naps. Leisurely activities. Dancing.
Escaping by way of music or entertainment. Making whoopee. Regardless
of how you look at it, it is relaxed and flowy. This is where we
melt.
This energy feeds into the
next water trine we encounter in our early, early hours of tomorrow
morning by way of Moon/Neptune (4:58 AM). Loosen your tie. Put on
your comfy clothes. Relax. Sink into quiet pleasures. Surround
yourself with the alluring and seductive sounds of your choosing.
Take it easy and rest. Tomorrow morning is stellar for lingering in
dream a little bit longer than usual.
There is a chance for
emotional tides to rise here. The best offset of that potential is
self care. Lean into those activities without guilt. Drift away from
your problems this evening and focus on feeling better if you need
that. If you are lucky enough to have access to a hot tub, this
energy is begging for such.
Mercury is rewinding,
though...so be careful in that hot tub unless you want to land in
1986..

This morning we are inclined
to laze around in bed a little longer than normal due the dawn
coinciding with a watery Scorpio Moon trine to Neptune. It's cool.
Sleep in. Linger a bit. There is no need to rush.
By 10:59 AM, we may decide
to start our day as the Moon sextiles Mercury in Capricorn. This
provides a little Earth. Enough to give us a bit of traction. But,
can also bring forth memories of past holidays. Do the ghosts of
Christmas past bring you joy or despair? Either way, remember they
are in the past. You can re-create those memories to a degree. Or,
you can choose to create better. Either way, this aspect is quite
reflective. How your frame that perspective is entirely up to you.
The rest of the day, we may
feel more than a little inclined to break with tradition. Saturn is
strongly waxing into trine with Uranus. This fiery and somewhat
rambunctious trine officially perfects at 7:15 PM. I have this set up
in my natal chart but in air. Let me tell you something. I have a
tendency to look at most rules as optional. I'm not all about “the
way things have always been done” (as my set up also includes my
Mars). I'm definitely not about following the rules just because. I
am accountable for what I do. But, I also consider myself as my own
authority. I'll make my own rules, thank you very much. I like new
making new traditions. I like going against the “common grain” to
a degree. I GREATLY enjoy being my own person. Those types of
inclinations come along with this trine. So, yes, it's wonderful for
creating new traditions. It's wonderful for shaking off the dust of
expectation. It's wonderful for finding new solutions to old standing
problems or creating new methods of operation in general. However, it
is not energy that adheres to being bossed around. So leave folks to
their own and worry about where you can make positive and sustainable
change in your own life instead.
Santa has an upgraded sleigh
and has a brand new bag this year. Maybe...just maybe...instead of
flying around the world in one night he sits at home in his comfy
chair at the North Pole and sends drones to down your chimney with
your presents. Ya never know. Either way, this is mature,
responsible, wise and innovative all at the same time. Responsible
innovation. Deliberate construction of hope. And much, MUCH more.
The perfection of the
Saturn/Uranus trine is overlaid by a lunar sextile to Pluto at 7:25
PM. The stench of past mistakes and deals run amok can surely compel
us to try to do things a little differently. This also packs bravery
and tenacity allowing us to plow through any unfinished business. At
it's worst, it packs paranoia and greed. At it's highest, though, it
is quite sexy and alluring. Indulge in intimate relationships.
Bravely face new ways and new days.

Brace yourself. Are you
ready? Because today looks wonderful! No, I'm not kidding. No, you
didn't read that wrong. Come on! Let's take a look at it!
Overnight the Scorpio Moon
met with a bit of discomfort as she squared off with Venus in
Aquarius at 2:23 AM. Following that, there was brief water trine with
the Moon to Chiron in Pisces at 4:00 AM. From here the Moon is Void.
Yup. Lights out.
However, Venus is the planet
of the day as, from Aquarius, she will trine Jupiter as we wake up
(8:23 AM). Then, she meets her current ruler, Uranus in Aries, by
sextile around lunchtime (11:36 AM). Last but certainly not least,
she sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius at 1:33 PM.
Now. Emotional bodies are
less reactive and quite subdued. However, Venus comes to this day
packing many pleasantries making it a stellar type of period for
social gatherings, visits with friends/family/tribe, exchanging of
gifts (go figure) and just a general laissez faire type of comfort.
It's actually a good thing that emotions are turned down. No one is
really heated up about much. Sure, it might not be some wild and
crazy party. But, it does offer a chance at community, celebration
and just a nice relaxing and enjoyable time. I'll take that. Check
your worries at the door. This day was made for pleasure however you
would like to find it.
The Moon remains Void as
Venus takes center stage for most of the day. She likes it there.
Allow her to twirl and be enchanted by her as a muse. At 10:20 PM the
Moon crosses over into Sagittarius. She remains without aspect until
tomorrow morning. So there is a wonderful chance to go to bed all
wrapped up in joy and bliss. And you know what? It's about time.
I definitely encourage you
to take advantage of the bright spots we have wrapped up and hidden
within this week. Share. Love. Hug. Slow down. Remember what is
really important. Let the rest slip away.
Happy whatever holiday you
want to make it to you and yours. May peace, love and fellowship come
directly to you all wrapped up with a pretty bow.
