Weekend Overview
This weekend favors the
artist, the creative, the dreamer. Those that know the benefit of
therapeutic silence, prayer and reflection. It is made for the
singer, the lyricist and the poet. It will tempt some to escape by
way of denial, alcohol or drugs. Travel could be impacted by weather.
Verbal communications could be confused. Facts are potentially veiled
or charged with attempts at emotional evocation. Many are likely
distracted, forgetful, confused or, perhaps, even ill. On the extreme
low end, we have the potential for the deep ache of loneliness and
regret along with deliberate attempts to veil or confuse facts. There
is also a high potential for self-victimizing or martyring. On the
high end, we have a blank canvas waiting for us to find our inner
artist or bring the song of our souls to life. It's emotive and
dreamy. It is suggested we float more than we try to push. If you can
sit silently in comfort and enjoy the discussions found in your own
company, you will likely fare better than others who need a constant
stream of communication and to be continually surrounded by friends.
Can you handle the things that float through your mind when you are
alone and all is quiet? Or, would you do everything in your power to
distract yourself? Silence and time alone can feel like a prison or
become a cherished reprieve. This weekend, the Moon in Gemini asks
you to decide which.

This morning we move from
the steadfast and somewhat immobile lunar world of Taurus and enter
the Airy realm of Gemini (5:07 AM). This occurs just as the ruler of
our Moon, Mercury, meets Neptune by conjunction at 6:11 AM. Venus
also turned retrograde at 4:02 AM in Aries.
Today's sky calls for
increased flexibility and may create an influx of confusion. This can
come deliberately, as in someone veiling or misconstruing the truth,
or by way of misunderstanding the information that is delivered. Due
this, it is imperative that we listen in an effort to understand
instead of respond. If possible, reflect what you have heard back to
the speaker in an effort to gain clarification. Plus, there may be an
increased need to check the facts. Don't ignore body language or
other non-verbal communication techniques in an effort to glean more
unspoken information from the conversation.
Also, this can denote
emotionally charged conversations. As the Gemini Moon strives to
verbally pinpoint her emotions, her ruler stands conjunct Neptune.
This is sensitive and emotional. Or it can also denote conversations
that do not happen due to increased emotionality and/or confusion. In
personal communications, it may be easier to find a song to fit the
way you feel more accurately than form sentences about it. The
statement “A picture is worth thousand words,” comes into play
as efforts at straight verbal communication may fail.
Art, poetry and music are
highlighted under this sky as well as channeling emotional energy
into a more creative form. On the high end, this energy is wonderful
for expressing oneself through art or choosing to stay silent and
reflective. Meditation fits wonderfully here. This may be difficult
for our Gemini Moon who honors airing her grievances, chatting it up
with friends or taking in new information. But, with Mercury
underwater it is advisable to seek softer and more subtle ways to
communicate.
Have you noticed how sound
changes when you are immersed in water? Noises are muffled to a
degree. But, when something makes a large impact upon the waters, you
not only hear it but also feel the vibrations of it on your body.
This denotes an influx of information by way of more than just your
ears. There is a intuitive nuance about it that can tell you more
about what is going on than what is actually being said.
This Mercury/Neptune mixture
sustains throughout the day calling us to be more well balanced in
the realm of the emotional body and the mind. Time moves fluidly and
we are called to surrender to that flow. This could become mirrored
in our sky by way of weather bringing fog, rain or just an overcast
gray feeling to the day. In that instance, know that travel can be
affected bringing the need for awareness and readiness on that front
to the fore. Driving while impaired, distracted or overly sleepy is
inadvisable at anytime but one would be particularly astute to pay
attention to the possibility today. Overall it is a fairly water
colored day out there that favors the artist and the creative. It
could feel lonely and hollow to some. Especially among those who are
uncomfortable in silence or in keeping their own company. Or, those
that are experiencing loss or emotionally affective issues. Remorse,
feelings of guilt and tendencies to self-martyr or self-victimize are
possibilities. Boundaries are needed as well as an ability to address
the emotional body and feelings of discomfort in a forthright and
self-nurturing manner.
The Moon squares off with
Neptune at 1:03 AM. Then, finds Venus in her newly retrograde
position at 3:15 AM by sextile. The square from the Moon to Mercury
occurs at 3:52 AM.
Sunday, March 5, 2017
This morning tension between
the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Pisces rises with the dawn. Our
First Quarter Moon perfects at 15 degrees mutable.
The Sabian Symbol for the
Sun reads as follows: In a quiet museum an art student drinks in
inspiration.
The Sabian Symbol for the
Moon reads as follows: Woman agitator makes an impassioned plea to a
crowd.
Again, we see the potential
for emotionally charged conversations or “pleas”...some
potentially sounding like wails of grief or sentimentality. Some,
perhaps, deliberately aimed at evoking a reaction from the emotional
body. Plus, the “picture is worth a thousand words” again comes
into play through the symbol for the Sun. Creative expression still
speaks much louder than words today. Sitting in silence by way of
meditation or prayer may bring clarity to more emotionally charged
personal issues. Higher emotions and sensitivities can be effectively
channeled into creative ventures. Or, we may just need to dip into
these types of expressions from others in an effort to be re-inspired
in regard to our own agenda.
Many may also try to escape
the trappings of a mind littered with confusing emotions by way of
drinking or drugs. There could have been more than one phone call,
text or email sent as a result of an intoxicated brain slain by the
truth of loneliness, remorse, regret or inebriated sentimentality.
There is also danger throughout the weekend of accidentally mixing
electronics (phones, computers, etc) with water (the toilet, spilled
drink, a puddle). Lost keys are also a high possibility. The
emotional body is sensitive and we are likely distracted.
Forgetfulness and distraction potential is high. Slow down. Take your
time. Be watchful of your steps. Nap if you are tired. And, forgive
yourself for not being completely on top of your logical/mental game
this weekend. No one else will be either.
Thankfully, the fog and mist
do begin to dissipate as we get deeper into this day. Mars in Aries
stabilizes and regains direction by way of a trine to Saturn at 3:46
PM. Then, the Moon moves into more amicable position with a trine to
Jupiter in Libra allowing her to dry out just a bit. This is followed
by a hopeful sextile to Uranus at 6:51 PM inspiring the Moon out of
her darkness and bringing even more clarity to the emotional body.
We do feel better here. But,
the original instigator of our previous emotional state still exists
in the background as the Moon squares off with Chiron at 9:58 PM
before finally becoming rectified with the hard truth of reality by
way of an opposition to Saturn at 2:50 AM. The Moon finds Mars by
sextile at 3:23 AM before reaching Void status. She greets us from
Cancer (7:55 AM) as we wake on Monday morning.
