This morning, the Moon
strongly wanes and disseminates in Virgo. We are in full blown
emotional release mode as we prepare to enter the fresh cycle brought
forth by the Virgo New Moon on the 20th. Yet, as we wipe
the slate clean of Virgo season and the Sun enters Libra on Friday,
we will still have a lot of Virgo energy to contend with. Mercury
does exit the sign of Virgo on 9/29 leaving Mars and Venus behind in
Virgo. Venus enters Libra on Oct 15th. Mars lingers in
Virgo until October 23rd. So we are called to think like
and exude Libra but acting and caring as if we were Virgo for much of
that season. Some of the energy does shift as Pluto stations direct
on the 28th and Jupiter enters Scorpio on October 11th.
At that time, we shift gears in the collective course agenda. We
leave the world of justice, balance, fairness and even handed
operations and enter the a classroom where we will learn about power,
depth, shadow and all the hints that Jupiter square Pluto gave us as
Jupiter transited Libra. We had introduction to the incoming themes
at those times.
Today, though, is fairly low
key. The Moon, as I said, is small and still shrinking. She does meet
both Mars and Mercury in their waning conjunction later in the day.
This was something I thought would be more productive than it turned
out to be. Saturday, in my world, was fairly energy filled. I
accomplished a lot. But, Sunday? I was completely wiped out.
Distracted. Tired. Not really motivated. So, I went back and looked
at that chart and realized a few things. There was a Yod, of course,
with Venus to Jupiter both inconjunct Chiron. The waxing opposition
from Sun to Chiron shoots right through the middle of that. It's hard
to believe, actually, but its as if this Yod and the accompanying
energy from Pisces (Mercury and Mars wax into opposition with Neptune
and Sun to Chiron...along with the Venus/Jupiter Yod) overpowered the
energy coming forth from Uranus, Saturn and even Pluto (Mercury and
Mars wax in trine to him too). Go figure. But that's largely how it
played out for me and a few others I've harassed with questions
already this morning. Yesterday was very much Venus/Jupiter/Chiron
and Neptune.
That being said, the
opposition between Mercury/Mars and Neptune is tightening at this
point. Not weakening. And, so is that between Sun/Chiron. This means
the danger could be an emotional impetus toward matters of production
(feeling as if we need to do something or a desire to do something)
but we are distracted, tired, sick or our head is just “not in the
game.” Plus, Sun/Chiron ALWAYS reminds me of that scene from Snow
White where the Queen turns herself into a witch and preys upon Snow
White's naivete in order to get her to eat a poison apple.
Be wary with this. Folks
offering promises and wishes fulfilled could have ulterior motives
they are shading from you. Mercury/Neptune can, indeed, equate to
attempts to veil the truths. Mars/Neptune can equate to veiled
actions. Sun/Chiron can...literally equate to food poisoning or
feeling as you are drugged OR, just like Snow White, having your
fantasies, dreams, empathy and naivete preyed upon. Take nothing at
face value in that regard. If it feels off, go with your feelings
instead of what someone is so desperately trying to convince you is
true. And, par for the course with this set up, watch your fingers,
toes and the like as it's still prime energy to create injury there.
The Moon meets Mars at 3:48
PM, Mercury by conjunction at 7:20 PM and opposes Neptune at 10:17
PM. Early in the morning, the Sun officially opposes Chiron (3:32
AM).

The emotional sphere looks a
little better for a chance at focus this morning as the Moon trines
Pluto at 6:35 PM and then squares with Saturn at 3:11 PM. Plus, the
Sun/Chiron opposition now wanes which is a good thing. Hearts make a
shift within this day too as Venus leaves fiery Leo for the
down-to-earth grounding of Virgo...which, in truth, Venus doesn't
exactly love. However, if you need to do some fixing and
re-prioritizing in the realm of love or money, this is exactly the
placement you need. It's picky, though. Yet, sometimes, being picky
and listing out what you want in a partner by order of priority is of
huge benefit. Ok, in my opinion it's always of benefit...not just
sometimes. This just happens to be a set up that supports such
efforts. No kinda Virgo goes shopping without some kind of list.
Either physically written or just logged in their head. Why would
looking for a mate be any different? Want to find a partner? Make a
list of desirable qualities you are looking for and check potential
suitors against that. Add to or take away items if you deem
necessary. But, consciously thinking about such helps you steer
yourself exactly where you want to go. Plus, it can also work to
attract the types you are mentally focusing on toward you. So, maybe
do that on purpose.
Plus, Venus in Leo is more
flamboyant that Venus in Virgo. Venus in Virgo likes clean and simple
lines. Muted and softer colors. Earthy colors, too. The boldness of
Leo fades for things of more simple tastes and practical beauty.
Natural elements. Leaves. Rocks. Trees. Animals. Venus in Virgo
relishes at harvest time. She likes simple things. Books. Writing
utensils. Little storage boxes and bottles. Things she can use on a
daily basis. Not things that sit around and just gather dust. She
isn't frilly or fussy...more of a simple plain Jane.
The transition of Venus into
Virgo occurs at 9:16 PM. The Moon opposes Chiron a few minutes before
midnight just as Mercury opposes Neptune and our new Moon pops
overnight at 1:30 AM. Following that, she is Void until entering
Libra at 6:06 AM on Wednesday morning.
Many are likely to feel as
if they have fallen short in production efforts the first few days of
this week. We may guilt ourselves over that. Feel bad because we
haven't gotten done as much as we think we should have. Others may be
attempting to help only to be taken advantage of. Which is going to
catalyze the same kind of self-punitive response once it is
discovered. Some folks may get flat out hornswoggled or hoodwinked.
Be easy on yourself here. Mars still waxes in opposition to Neptune.
Take nothing at face value and if at you are at a loss of focus,
declutter something. Even if it is just a sock drawer. Sorting things
out in the physical environment helps you untangle brain messes too.
New initiatives aren't something you want to pick up and run with at
this time. Wind down, clean up and finish ongoing projects before you
decide to start anything new at the beginning of the week. Then,
under the New Moon in Virgo, we can start working on a new task list
and look to begin fresh.

Ah, ok. We are officially
under a new Lunar Cycle here as the New Moon in Virgo perfected in
our wee early morning hours. So, let's have a look at that.
For the Sun and Moon at
28 Virgo: Bald-headed man dominates gathering of national figures.
The fact that the man is this symbol is specifically mentioned as
being bald does bear significance. Part of that significance denotes
transmutation of power. The ability to allow the restlessness of
youth to slough off and be fully welcoming of the new identity
emerging. It also denotes a clear and unobstructed connection to the
divine as well as maturity and wisdom. No fluff. No need for
traditional bravado. Just pure, connected, matured, gentled and
somewhat humbled power.
For the Moon's Ruler,
Mercury, at 13 Virgo: A powerful statesman wins to his cause a
hysterical mob. Someone is riling folks up. Apparently,
successfully as the crowd is now hysterical. This also denotes a
transmutation of power conferred from the speaker and to the
audience. Transference may be the better word. Hopefully, they are
riled for good reason and have done the proper work to fact check and
what have you. Mob mentality without the abilities of individual
reason can be dangerous. Mass hysteria over anything rarely, if ever,
leads to a positive end.
Remember, the Sun/Moon
oppose Chiron at this lunation and find Uranus by inconjunct. Plus,
they are also semi-sextile Jupiter in Libra. The ruler of this
lunation, Mercury, is opposite Neptune. The card I drew for guidance
during this lunation when I was writing the Moon book was none other
than the 2 of Swords. This is card that points directly to the sign
of Libra (the Moon there, specifically). And, let me tell you
something. Libra gets a really bad wrap for waffling on decision
making. This occurs with Libra because they can easily see both sides
of any argument. We learn to gather and separate all the information
in Virgo. By Libra we are busy weighing out the pros and cons and
trying to be fair and accommodating...that's why it takes so long to
make a decision. No option is left unconsidered. Usually
over-consideration is the problem. Yet, the main call from the 2 is
to deliberately take time to weigh out all the options. Bandwagon
jumping is not recommended. We can say Libra is a follower all we
want. But that's simply not true. Libra is a Cardinal sign and it
does lead. Just indirectly..unlike her polar opposite of Aries. She
is persuasive and leading. She uses strategy rather than means of
direct hand to hand combat. Her objective is balance, yes. But, she
does take the lead in her own unique way.
From the sounds of the
sabians, there is a lot of ruckus in the world. From the bald guy to
the statesman different voices scream and plead for our attention.
However, with our luminaries positioned as they are an their ruler
opposing Neptune some of what is going on out there is NOT what it
seems. It behooves us to take time to weigh out the facts. It is
highly likely that our empathy, our compassion, our denied
psychological crap (sexism, racism, bigotry, addiction...what have
you) are being preyed upon. The semi-sextile to Jupiter (who holds
his own inconjunct to Chiron) pulls the lunation forward asking us to
employ both shadow and light of Libra in a beneficial way. Take your
time. Weigh everything out. Who cares if that looks like
procrastination. The sideways action of Jupiter to Chiron is sneakily
trying to show us where these denied and numbed out things from
Chiron in Pisces lie and once you get your heartbroken for falling
for stupid crap, I promise, you don't forget those lessons. But,
that's precisely the set up we have here. Uranus in Aries wants us to
free ourselves from that stuff and move forward in our collective
development in light of what we are now able to recognize. But, his
call of revolt is very strong and the appeal from the masses is
equally as strong (Jupiter opposite Uranus). But, you have to soul
search and dig for facts before you are able to make an astute
judgment call. And, astute calls in judgment are tough to manage when
Mercury is opposed Neptune. Before you jump on some kind of bandwagon
that leads you to what you think is a path for advocating for your
cause...think about it. Make sure it is what it says it is. Just
because someone has a platform and a megaphone does not mean they are
telling the truth. Just because a speaker has the ability to rile up
a crowd and amass a following doesn't mean the crowd is going in the
right direction. As a matter of fact, you may discover begrudgingly
later that you've been played for a fool. You will learn as a result.
But, you can also learn by not allowing yourself to get whipped up
and led to your own demise too. The 2 of Swords can also denote
mutual decisions. So, if you have someone you trust who you can talk
things over with in an effort to make a more clear decision, that's a
good way to go too. Don't think you have to figure out all this on
your own. However, the final decision is still up to you should you
find the advice of “other” to be unhelpful.
The Moon is officially in
Libra today. So we are inclined to grin and bear it, go along to get
along or not say “no” just to be nice or accommodating. This can
be used against you. Frankly. So, be careful of such. Other than
that, there are no major aspects from the Moon today. The Sun meets
Uranus by inconjunct early in the morning as the Moon meets Neptune
by the same. It's a swirling confusing soup out there most likely.
And, the opportunity for potential manipulation and abuse of power
grows as the Moon waxes into square with Pluto tomorrow. All the
brain screwery and any attempts at malefic persuasion and what have
you come to light VERY quickly as we move further into this week
though. Again, I'd delay decision making and risk being called a
procrastinator because at this point, the picture needs more time to
develop. That's is what is going to pay off...waiting not
rushing...in the end. In the beginning of the week, our Neptune
factors are preyed upon. We are at very high risk of being bamboozled
and frankly I for one do not enjoy being played for a fool. Ever.
But, tomorrow, if those efforts seem to be failing, then, that's when
we will experience threats, bullying and temptations used as
persuasive tools. If that occurs, know the person is reaching out in
desperation and that sounds a whole lot like their problem to me.
This just makes it even more apparent that we need to remember who we
are and what it is we are really trying to do on a personal level
(North Node in Leo) and avoid getting sucked into the potential
madness bubbling up in the collective (South Node in Aquarius).

Today, the major happening
is the Libra Moon square Pluto at 1:01 PM that can punctuate power
plays and emotional manipulative tactics that I gave warning about
yesterday. It can be used for bravery and focus upon debasing
fear..which is exactly what the person using Moon/Pluto malefically
will ironically be using against you. If a fear is successfully
triggered, face it down and don't allow the fear to make the decision
for you. If someone is being overly forceful or you catch a whiff of
emotional manipulation, steer yourself out and away.
Later tonight, the Moon
stabilizes with a sextile to Saturn which gives us a more strong
inclination of the truth of the situation...though, admittedly we may
not like it much. But, here is where things start to actually clear
up. Foster astute boundaries. Look for fact. Sober up. Adhere to your
own sense of direction. This will continue to unfurl and become an
all out balancing act between self and other in our tomorrow. We may
even see some angry squalls that sound a lot like “That's not fair!
You lied to us!” Yeah...and maybe you swallowed it hook line and
sinker without checking it out, too. Whose fault is that? And, yet,
logically I know this is how we find the path to wisdom. A walk no
one can take for us or spare us from. None of this occuring would
surprise me even one little bit which is WHY I keep advising to
wait...wait...wait...something is likely not quite right here.

Early this morning the Moon
blips by Jupiter by conjunction and then opposes Uranus. This is
between 6:28 AM and 9:05 AM. It can be jarring. It can show us the
places in which we were over-accommodating and ended up compromising
ourselves. But, we benefit from the positive expressions of Jupiter
in Libra too.
Still yet, this set up can
upset the apple cart in regard to plans you've made for this day.
It's not uncommon for the unexpected to occur when Uranus/Moon is
active. So, keep your plans flexible while knowing things may not
work out exactly like you though they would.
Following the opposition
with Uranus, the Moon is Void until diving into the depths of Scorpio
at 1:41 PM. At that time, the brain is astutely focused for better or
worse (remember...there's a difference between focus and paranoia or
obsession) as Mercury in Virgo meets Pluto by trine. We are likely to
probe for details as this waxes in. Do a little detective work and
research. None of which is ill advised. Either way, the truth of the
situation has either come out and shocked us out of our shoes by now
or we are catching a whiff of something seriously afoul.
At 4 PM, the Sun shifts from
Virgo to Libra. We move from practical to people pleasing. Either
way, we've got 3 big players in signs they are don't operate the best
in. Mars is not exactly well suited for Virgo...neither is Venus.
And, the Sun is in deteriment in Libra. Meaning, we become at risk of
trying to be what we perceive others expect us to be. Trust me. I've
been a Libra my entire life. The tendency is there. Find who you are
and stick with that even if it means some folks won't like you for
it. Let Venus in Virgo cause you to be picky and practical about who
you hang around with instead of causing it to prompt you to cut
yourself apart.
The power to get down to the
nitty gritty of what it is we really want and what it is we need at
the same time comes about by way of a sextile from Moon in Scorpio to
Venus in Virgo. Do some soul searching to suss that out. Quietly
introspect and, from there, make a plan, make a list or something
that matches up to what you've found in the depths of your heart and
use that during Libra season to direct you in your efforts at finding
a mate or partner...sheering away those that don't fit the bill or
adapting your list as you trip over more qualities you desire. Note
what you are willing to compromise on and what you are not. Then,
stick to that. Use it like a compass. If you do end up getting
hornswoggled or hoodwinked or bamboozled in this week spend more time
figuring out what you can learn from it than you do beating your own
self up over it. Gleaning the lessons helps you in application of
them moving forward. Beating yourself up is just a waste of time.
