At first glance, this week
looks rather...er...wild. Mars and Mercury are both quite active.
Plus, we have an eclipse on Sunday which snuggles right up to
Neptune. Whenever I see a mixture of Uranus and Neptune like we have
in our week to come, it always reminds me of someone throwing a
toaster in a bathtub. We may have some rather “shocking” things
which occur in that manner. The main problem, though, is that Mars is
volatile. Mercury is firing on all cylinders, so that's a good thing.
But, Mars? He's all kinds of irked which wouldn't be bad if that's
all we had to deal with. Yet, happening next to an eclipse on Neptune
helping to fog things up, disorient and confuse, while also packing
increased sensitivity and emotionality? Yeah. Ok. Imagine that you
are lazing in a big bathtub filled with lovely warm bubbles. All zen
and stuff. Then...ZAP! And, you come up swinging while not even being
sure of what you are swinging at. Then, a sink hole opens under the
tub and swallows both you and the tub whole jettisoning you both
to....I guess we will see when we wake up next Monday. Of course I'm
being facetious. But, in my mind, that's what it looks like. So.
Let's start with today and work our way through from there. Ok?
This morning, the Moon is
still active in Sagittarius. At midnight last night, she met Mars in
Aries by trine which could have stirred a bit of restlessness during
the night. At 7:32 AM we find her sextile Mercury in Aquarius while
in tandem trine to Uranus (9:39 AM) and sextile to Jupiter (11:50
AM). She moves from this active and uplifted position straight into a
square with Chiron at 12:57 PM before winding out the day with a
conjunction to Saturn (6:38 PM) which sends her into Void status. She
will remain Void until entering Capricorn at 2 AM tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, as she rests, Mercury finds Uranus in Aries by sextile at
11:02 PM.
In the early part of the
day, we likely feel pretty mobile and active. We are running about
checking things off our lists without too many peripheral blips on
the radar. Mercury waxes into sextile with Uranus, so we are sharp on
a mental level. The Moon is checking in amicably with the associated
sky. So, time is zipping and so are we. But, just after midday, there
is the hollow echo of Chiron that leads into the Moon/Saturn
conjunction which can leave us feeling flat or depressed. Much more
encumbered than the early part of the day. The Moon flickers off
under this potential dour affect but the brain keeps spinning.
Metaphorically, it's likened
to zipping around in your little red sports car in the early part of
the day. The weather is nice. You have the top down. Unfortunately,
right as you are finishing lunch, it starts raining. The top on the
convertible is stuck. You can't raise it. So, you jump in the little
speedy car and try to rush home. Except, you are speeding. And, of
course, there's a police officer waiting for someone just like you.
Your zippy red sports car day ends with a wet interior and a speeding
ticket with a court date. Nice.
The best way to handle this
is to make your task list ahead of time. Then, ensure that task list
lines up with your chosen path ahead. Diligently start checking
things off while being mindful of the need for a potential “double
check.” Get as much (safely)
completed as you can. Then, by early afternoon, take a break.
Assess your progress and be satisfied with the pavers (Saturn) that
you have successfully laid on your journey (Sagittarius).
Use the evening for
gatherings or conversations with friends. Play Jeopardy! Or some
other trivia game. The brain will want to be entertained or at least
tickled a little. Under Mercury/Uranus we are sharp and quick. It is
very good energy for collaborate efforts for those who are concerned
with particular social issues or social welfare. Working in teams or
groups is highly indicated. Know, though, that the low end of this
mixture can manifest in ways that are similar to ADHD or anxiety
symptoms. But, just like any other electrical circuit, it operates
much more safely and efficiently when well grounded. Jot down
illuminating ideas and plans. These lightning bolt inspirations often
disappear just as quickly as they came.
Other than being sharp and
inspired, Mercury in sextile to Uranus is also very analytical. At
it's highest, it operates much like a super computer in its ability
to process and analyze data. If you are taking some sort of higher
math classes, a lot of things can click together in your brain in
regard to that tonight. Outside of that, if you have a complex
problem that you need to focus upon without emotional distraction,
tonight is a good night to look it over. I mean, the brain is going
to be busy anyway. Might as well give it something to play with. For
some, sleep may be quite elusive tonight due this. Also, remember,
the Moon is Void after 6:00 PM tonight and waning. So, it's not
indicated to take action on any plans yet. But, it is a good day to
get the mental wheels going in that direction to aid us in mapping it
out.
All this, too, is quite
indicative of concepts surrounding travel. Therefore, we could hear
of or discuss issues of the same. So, yeah, brace yourself for that.

This morning the Moon is
active in Capricorn while in sextile to the Sun in Pisces at 8:16 PM.
This is industrious, empathic, creative and grounded. It's wonderful
creative clay for manifestation of some of the inspirations we may
have received yesterday. If you can dream it, you can create so says
this luminary mixture.
Meanwhile, Mercury is waning
in his sextile to Uranus as he finds Jupiter by trine at 1:28 PM.
This reminds me of law and legal eagles. If you need that type of
advice, this is a good day to seek it. Otherwise it is rather windy
and filled with big ideas and plans. It is also inclined to be
concerned with the future, issues of travel and socially geared
initiatives. On a mundane end, it brings accentuation to matters of
lighthearted friendship as well as team/group initiatives. If you
mapped things out last night, this is a good time to begin
implementation. Just ensure that you realize that talking about doing
something and actually doing it are two separate things. Be mindful
of the need to follow through. Mars is in Aries so we are prone to
engage. Many won't need the reminder.
All this pretty much sets
the tone for the day. We end at midnight with an uncomfortable square
form the Moon in Capricorn to Venus in Aries. Yet, a sextile from the
Moon to Neptune may relax us just enough to get some rest.
The only other major blip on
the radar is due the fact that (also throughout the day) Mars in
Aries is waxing into square with Pluto in Capricorn. Alright, so,
that's a pretty big blip. This perfects overnight at 3:57 AM. Now. I
can argue with you that Aries is just as much a pixie as it is a
warrior. However, right now, the energy coming from Mars in Aries is
vicious and blood thirsty. In aspect to Pluto, he is no joke. As in,
things could become ugly. Overly forceful. Bloody. Dangerous. At the
very least, there could be power struggles and subservient efforts at
control. The Moon is going to enter this equation tomorrow and the
mixture is anything but light and fun. It's actually kind of scary.
Not so much a glittery pixie. Mars is going to link up the waning
square between Pluto and Uranus while also dragging Jupiter in Libra
into the equation. Our emotional bodies are going to be right in that
mix. Ironically, the outlet for the Cardinal crunch falls in Cancer.
That means astutely handling and directing your own softer emotional
body is going to be what balances this out.

As I've mentioned, today is
scary and intense. The Moon in Capricorn is about to join the square
between Mars and Pluto at around 2:30 PM. Things are dark and stormy
inside and out. Not to mention potentially dangerous. Be careful out
there.
This forceful, violent,
paranoid, greedy and basically “ugly” energy continues throughout
the day. Plus, it's going to get poked at. The Moon squares Uranus at
8:45 PM and opposes Jupiter at 10:24 PM. We are collectively dragged
into a veritable Battle of the Gods.
Just as much as this energy
can be used for subservient and violent means, it can also be used
for matters of survival and self-perseverance. Yet, there is likely
so much going on that we will have very little time to think of
anything else. With the outlet falling in Cancer it is best to tend
to your own emotional state while also ensuring/protecting matters on
your immediate home front. Yes. Hiding in your shell until it is less
chaotic works here.
If you are out and about in
the world today, know that dangers are lurking. People will likely be
stressed, reactive and at the very least paranoid. Keep your
boundaries astute and know where the safety exits are. We are staring
down the barrel of an eclipse. That makes the energy unstable
already. Add this volatile mix to it that and it becomes a VERY good
idea to stay alert to your surroundings and just aim to be safe.
If...IF...all is well, you can use this energy to really push through
projects and bring things to completion. Otherwise, shelter in place.
The Moon meets Chiron by
sextile at 11:59 PM and then, thankfully, she becomes Void. She'll
remain Void until entering Aquarius at 12:18 PM.

Today the dust begins to
settle a bit as the happenings of the last few days continue to
trickle out and become known. The emotional body remains mostly
latent as this occurs. The Moon reawakens in Aquarius at noon.
Meanwhile, Mercury is cooling his jets as he finds stabilizing Saturn
by sextile at 4:46 PM. The facts are becoming clear and certainly
being inscribed into the history pages.
As the Moon reawakens she is
cool and wise in Aquarius. We continue through the day in discussions
of recent events and trying to put the pieces of all that has
occurred together in a detached and logical manner.
The day clicks by swiftly
without any other major aspects. At this point, we are merely trying
to figure it all out.
Friday, February 24, 2017
Yesterday's cool emotional
detachment continues into today. The only major aspect is a lunar
sextile to Venus in Aries at 10:41 AM. The energy is still quite
scattered due the incoming eclipse. But, we are better able to handle
ourselves within that dynamic. The mixture of the Aquarius Moon and
Venus in Aries is reminiscent of protests/marches and collaborate
forward moving agendas. These seem to have potential to be
non-violent and more prone to peaceful demonstrations. Yet, the
reaction from the outside world is still pretty angst riddled as Mars
now waxes toward the Uranus/Jupiter opposition.
The Moon remains active
through the night as she also meets Mars by sextile at 2:47 AM and
Uranus at 4:53 AM. Sleep is likely restless if existent at all.

This morning the Aquarius
Moon is trine Jupiter in Libra bringing a bit of buoyancy and
optimism to our mood. It's windy, of course. But, it is also prone to
bring like minded groups of individuals who are in pursuit of higher
freedoms and independence into the public spotlight. On a personal
level, it feels a bit better. A small gift of lightness is delivered.
By midday (1:12 PM) the Moon
is stabilized by a sextile to Saturn in Sagittarius before she
reaches Void status. We've left firm footprints across collective
history this week. As the Moon goes Void discussions of those events
will likely occur and the details solidified.
From here, the Moon remains
Void until entering Pisces at 7:25 PM tonight ushering us straight
into the eclipse. However, Mercury beats the Moon in his transition
to Pisces which occurs at 6:08 PM. The Moon catches him by
conjunction at 7:36 PM.
Within this day, we move
from the airy logical world of Aquarius into the ethereal seas of
Pisces through both the mental and emotional bodies. Clear sharp
edges become blurred and hazy. Mindsets shift gears as we begin to
incorporate more intuitive and emotional nuance into our thinking
processes. We melt. We pray. We go from flying to floating. We could
also become much more sensitive and emotional. I encourage you to let
loose of the any reigns of control you think you might have. What we
are headed towards cannot be controlled nor predicted. Ecliptic
related events have been unfurling for several weeks now. They are
getting ready to come to a quick head. Now, I'm not saying that the
eclipse itself is going to be horrific. The week's earlier movements
of Mars are what were so severe. However, it does seem as if we slip
into some sort of transient or ethereal state which leads to both
endings and new beginnings that begin to take shape as the New Moon
perfects tomorrow.

This morning, our New Moon
eclipse dawns at 9:59 AM. The Sabian Symbols for this lunation read
as follows:
For the Sun at Pisces 9: The race
begins: A Jockey spurs his horse to great speed. There
is a feeling of a quickening that happens in this degree. Adrenaline
is raised and we hold steady until the starting pistol
fires...hopefully. Because, if you or your horse jump prior to that,
you are disqualified all together. A well seasoned jockey can connect
with the horse and keep it steady until the timing is just right.
Then, once everything clicks into place it's “Katie bar the door”
because we are off at top speed toward the finish line. Still, we are
not bolting off unconsciously (or at least that is what we are trying
to avoid). There is a specific target and a specific goal. We are
expending our energy toward that. Our blinders (aka: boundaries,
grounding) will help us to focus in.
For the Moon's Ruler,
Neptune, at 12 Pisces: Candidates are being examined by the lodge of
initiates. You might not
realize it right now; but, your performance is being observed. Folks
are watching what you do and will judge you according to your actions
more so than your promises. What this means is this eclipse can open
an unexpected door of opportunity based on current or past
performance. So, be mindful of what you do when you may think no one
is paying attention. Chances are someone is noting everything you do.
By
3:56 PM, we are in full emotional melt as the Moon finds Neptune by
conjunction. Just a few hours later, Mars officially finds Uranus by
conjunction. Here's the toaster in your bathtub. We are drifting,
drifting and BAM! Startled into action. We hit the ground running on
that note straight into next week. Mars completes his opposition to
Jupiter in the morning as the Moon is refortified to a degree during
a lunar sextile to Pluto.
This
is a good time for springing forward with well designed plans. Only
thing, is you have to do it consciously otherwise we are just going
to look like a flurry of hens scattering about with our heads
severed. So, keep your head about you as you move forward. Be wary of
timing as well. Plus, a standard caution as Mars is all heated up and
electrified in conjunction to Uranus, USE YOUR ANGER INTELLIGENTLY.
We are very prone to impulsivity and reactiveness here. Ground and
purposefully direct your electric circuit. If you need to bust up bad
habits or even addictions, now is a wonderful time.
Know
that this eclipse opens up veritable worm holes. So we may need to be
on our toes to traverse this seemingly new and foreign territory.
That means all senses need to be astute and awake (which is kind of
hard with a stellium in Pisces huddled around Neptune). But,
grounding will help and the influx of Neptune at that point becomes
very creative and quite intuitive bringing in even more information
from our higher senses. Use the information you receive wisely on
your path forward. Don't be afraid of slamming doors. They merely
mean one has opened somewhere else which could lead you to a land
that you'd barely dared to dream possible. But, under this sky, so
much of the impossible can indeed manifest for better or worse.
Calibrate
your compass. Wait for the starting pistol and GO! While keeping a
very observant eye on your surroundings watching for opportunistic
worm holes (doors of opportunity) to open up to you. Also, however,
be wary for the potential of the sneak attack. When things become
confusing and or blurry there are folks out there that use that to
their advantage but to your detriment. Shore up online security
matters and batten down the hatches on any back windows you may have
left unlocked. Do more than you speak and be mindful of who is
listening when you do. That extends from face to face communications
all the way to phone and online conversations, as well. This could
also denote a well orchestrated “set up” in which we are lured to
reactiveness on purpose. We could be instigated or provoked. Again,
be mindful of what you are doing. Your natural reflexive reaction to
catalyzing stimuli could be anticipated by some and invoked for the
purposes of your own undoing. Play smart!
