It's a busy day out there
for the planets, folks. It began stirring yesterday as Mercury waxed
strongly into his second trine with Uranus as Venus waxed in square
to Neptune. These both perfect early this morning. Mercury to Uranus
blossomed at 4:29 AM EST shortly following our perfection of the Last
Quarter Moon. Venus in square to Neptune perfected at 8:48 AM.
Mercury will go on to square
Chiron in our afternoon just as the Mercury ruled Moon in Virgo finds
him by square. This lights up a mutable t-square between Mercury Rx,
Chiron and the Moon that may draw up some painful memories of the
past, exacerbate illnesses or just leave us feeling a bit hollow
today.
Mercury to Uranus likely
gave inspiration or a brief feeling of clarity. But, Venus to Neptune
fogged the glass up again. Then,
this mutable t-square with the Moon in hypercritical Virgo could, in
fact, have us aiming the critical edge of the knife toward ourselves.
Which, my friends, is likely
unnecessary. The highest function of Virgo calls to us to heal and to
serve. In these quiet personal spaces in which memories may come
forth, our efforts should be geared toward release, absolution and
self-healing while learning from what these memories may have to
teach us.
During this time, it may
help to toil in mindless chores. To keep the hands busy in matters of
simple production as the brain assesses all that is being excavated.
Cleaning is a physical way to also help purge in the emotional realm.
As we release these “thorns” from our heart, we can create new
space for fresh and new experiences. Or we can avoid them and allow
them to fester. If we open to the release and self-healing efforts,
however, then the physical act of cleaning space manifests the same
kind of feel within our waking/walking world. Could be as simple as
organizing a sock drawer. Taking time to smudge and energetically
clear your physical space. Or just merely doing daily mundane daily
chores is a chance to bring to life the dynamic of “as above, so
below and as within, so without.” Feel free to get creative with it
and lean into what feels good to you.
At 10:03 PM, the Moon
squares Saturn as she is renders Void. So, if you can look back on
your day and feel even the smallest amount of accomplishment it is
going to ease the pressure of that square. Plus, you will have just
illustrated use of an effective and supportive coping mechanism. I
said, recently, that some days my idea of success is getting to sleep
in my bed instead of in an some kind of institution. So, you know,
you can kind of set your bar on “accomplishment” the same way.
Other ways to use this
energy in a supportive and self healing manner include volunteering
for charity functions, dismissing yourself to spiritual work be that
going to church, meditating or taking a few moments for home worship
at your personal altars. Doing something random and small that
illustrates an act of pure kindness for no reason at all. The
feelings rebound with this stuff. So, if you feel like it, reach out
and nab the chance at a double boost in that giving of your talents,
self or service boosts the recipient and makes you feel better too.
This doesn't mean over-extending yourself. Tend to your needs first
and go from there. Most of all, cut yourself some slack because it
would be way too easy to be too rough on yourself today.
The Moon remains Void until
entering Libra at midnight.

Well, we've got some highs
and lows today. But, it's less like surfing and more like how a bird
takes advantage of thermals using them to lift them up while using
less of their own physical effort. Sorry, but that makes me laugh
because it also sounds VERY Libra, to me. However, this energy does
stretch over into Tuesday. So, it might be a good “metaphor” to
look at.
Mostly the Moon merely
lingers in Libra today. There is a brief blip of an inconjunct to
Neptune at 9:41 PM. Then, she meets her ruler (Venus in Sagittarius)
by sextile at 1:43 AM (overnight) giving her first inkling of a warm
draft through which she can achieve some levity or buoyancy.
This could manifest through
dreams or just a nice comfortable night's sleep. Keep an eye out
today for those uplifting metaphorical “thermals” and get more
well practiced in taking advantage of them. Again, it's a good day to
reach out with random acts of kindness or gifts of charity in an
effort to create your own thermal. It's also a good day to just
generally seek out what tickles your Venus. What brings you joy and
sharing lightly with others.

Today, the day begins a
darkly and semi-ominous as the Moon squares Pluto at 10:10 AM.
Remember your practice with thermals yesterday and resist the urge to
entertain demons longer than you need to. Know this is a time in
which some may be looking to use niceties as underhanded persuasion
or in an effort of manipulative control. Yet, Pluto in Capricorn also
gives us a sixth sense toward such and the ability to boundary
ourselves against it.
The natural thermals in this
day come as the Moon sextiles the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius just
prior to their official conjunction. Laughter, singing making an
uplifting sound through use of your voice or through full artistic
illustration of more welcomed holiday memories and seekings of
personal joy bring us to a high point here with the lift waxing in
strongly from about 3:30 on. With the highest expression being
allowing yourself to be lifted and reaching out to share that in some
way.
Mercury Rx officially meets
the Sun by conjunction at 8:49 PM. He will deliver unto the ego
system all that has been reviewed thus far. Know that the complete
picture is not finished yet in regard to what we need to fully know
and understand. However, with this conjunction, it does begin to
become more clear. The conjunction occurs at 21 Sag 14. So, let's
have a look at where it is Mercury is headed. Sabian for 21
Sagittarius reads: Child and dog play gravely with eyeglasses on
their noses. Usefulness of make-believe. Rising to situations through
the imagination. Assuming a part ahead of natural development.
So, there's this
phenomenally Libra thing called, “Fake it til you make it.” And,
sometimes I get some snide looks coming back at me when I mention it.
Fake? Nobody wants THAT these days. We need authenticity. Yeah. Ok. I
get that. But, I'm not talking about the news we all gobble up like
it is some kind of candy or something. I'm talking about the impact
of your own attitude and how you can change that if you don't want to
feel what you are feeling. See, Libra does wear a mask. Sometimes
this is donned due public expectation. Sometimes we put it on
because, frankly, it's none of anyone's business how we feel. So, we
can be prone to smile on the outside when we are crumbling on the
inside in an effort to “hide” that from public view. But. There
is a different way to go about it too. And, that requires a shift in
your perspective. To stop looking at what is going wrong and start
looking at what is right, what is stable, where you are blessed. In
the meantime, start looking forward with positive and hopeful eyes
while releasing your attachment to the fear that says “don't do
that! Because as soon as you start being optimistic you are going to
be disappointed!” Screw that fear. What if we defy that and instead
of letting outside circumstances and situations set our mood, take
over the reins ourselves. I may not feel like smiling at you. But, if
I do and you smile back, that helps me. That is faking it til you
make it and that is what the child and dog are doing. Playing pretend
in their future world. So, what is wrong with playing pretend that
everything goes ok instead of wasting our energy dreading (and
possibly having a hand in manifesting all that negative to boot) all
that we know could go wrong. If those efforts fail or are destined to
fail, so be it. What we've done is changed the attitude of our
waiting time and will truly be able to say that we've put forth our
best efforts. Truth is though this is how we manifest our reality.
So, just by faking it for a bit we could in fact fool ourselves right
into feeling better and manifesting more positive outcomes in our
future. Now. I don't believe in sugar coating a damn thing. However,
as hard as it was for me to believe that this could be true (that
what we allow ourselves to think does influence how we feel and the
circumstances we encounter in our futures plus how we meet those
circumstances), I've tried it. I have been surprised by the results.
Overwhelmed at times actually. So, yeah as the Sabian portends, take
a little creative optimistic spin and imagine what good things may be
coming instead of allowing the doom of dread and worry to run your
life. Sounds too easy. Feels at first like you are lying to yourself.
But, I promise it does get easier especially when you start getting
those positive results. Just know you have to be diligent,
self-patient and gentle in the turn around. With Mercury retrograde,
there is no better place to attempt it. This is wholly between you
and your brain, babes. Be it's master or let it's run-amokness be the
master of you. There is a choice to be made there.
The Moon goes on to oppose
Uranus at 10:50 PM which (depending on how you steered your brain
early in the day) could equate to either a break down or break
through moment. Either way it is congealed and sealed in the early
morning hours of our tomorrow as the Moon meets Saturn by sextile at
7:28 AM and is rendered Void. She remains Void until entering the
depths of Scorpio at 9 AM on Wednesday. And, here's the funny thing
about that. See how this week keeps building? Take time on Sunday to
heal yourself and that makes a difference in how Monday will play
out. Take time/effort to steer the brain appropriately and that is
surely going to affect how we end up feeling the Scorpio Moon. I
mean, it's not a far stretch to imagine someone who may live in a
state of self-created drama. Why, then, would be it be that far of a
reach to believe that we can also live in a state of self-created
bliss or joy or hopefulness.

This morning the Moon is in
Scorpio basically floating until her first major aspect. This is a
conjunction with Mars in Scorpio at 2:24 PM. I think you will notice
that Mars in Scorpio is quite a bit different than Mars in Libra, if
don't know the difference in feel already. When the Moon meets Mars
in this sign, wherever we are, we are going to go deeper. So, the
“building” upon this week continues making our earlier efforts
all the more worthy. We could plunge the depths of the “Hell” of
the situation or we could seep this self-created choice into our very
bones. Either way, it's deep and enduring.
At it lowest, this is
seething and abusive anger potentially colored with resentment, pain,
bitterness and disdain. On the high end, it sturdy resilient steel.
Basically. High gets higher. Low gets lower. Seething grows hotter.
Yearning grows stronger. Resolve becomes more resilient. We are
inclined to physically respond and engage with the world depending on
our mood. Makes sense, right?
A card I like to reference
under this kind of energy is the Chariot. A charioteer takes opposing
forces and steers them with sheer focus and employment of all her own
faculties toward a common goal. This is employment of both Moon
(emotion, intuitions, creativity)and Mars (passion, desire, anger,
action) toward a purpose of our choice.
There is also a visceral
awareness here. Much like an animal has the ability to literally
“feel” what is going on in its environment, Moon conjunct Mars in
Scorpio has this talent, too. Matter of fact, most water Moons or
Mars have this ability. But, in Scorpio, these instinctual cues are
fostered due an effort or desire to survive and used in various ways.
The main thing to remember is to listen the cues you may get for no
reason today. If something doesn't “feel” right and you can't
explain why, the “feel” is probably spot on. Learn to read and
trust that language (wonderful undertaking with Jupiter in Scorpio).
This also tells me that body language will speak much louder than
words. Ensure you pay proper heed to that.
This would be a good day to
aim toward productive efforts. Especially those that you might have
dreaded or that which calls for endurance. We can channel this
Chariot like energy into any project we declare worthy. This is very
focused. Very enduring. A lot could be accomplished under that type
of energy. This is also excellent energy, as the Moon is waning, for
“snake-skin shedding” efforts. What I mean for that is purging
emotional efforts. Severing forever our attachment to the “demons”
of our history or to negative attachments of any kind (health
threatening habits, abusive relationships, etc.) It's a good day to
take the psychological garbage out or let the foul stench of it
continue to stink up your life.

The Scorpio Moon continues
to shrink as she waxes into a trine with Neptune early this morning.
Right before Noon EST, she finds Jupiter by conjunction. We wake up
groggy, bleary. Perhaps there is fog, fatigue or just general “want
to sleep-inedness.” There is also potential for emotional hangover
here. Just plan to take the first few hours of the morning slow.
However, by the time the
Moon finds Jupiter, we may feel a little more upbeat. Likely hungry.
Feed yourself with fuel sustaining foods and satisfy your hunger.
This is going to help us feel better and more energized following our
washout with Neptune this morning.
Tonight, we begin to feel
more restored as the Moon sextiles Pluto at 8:42 PM. Eat well. Rest
when you need. Let go more than you cling to. Feed your Moon what it
needs.

,The Scorpio Moon persists
with a trine to Chiron this morning. She is Void as Mercury Rx finds
Venus by conjunction in Sagittarius at 9:09 AM. Yesterday, we fed our
Moons. Today we are called to Venus our brains. Or Mercury our
hearts.
Lol? What?
Mercury has been rewinding
for awhile. He has gathered a lot of information and likely flipped
our perspective a few times. Surely, a lot of us still have
outstanding questions about various things. Perhaps we have remorse,
holiday themed depression or have suffered some not so nice memories
recently. As Venus in Sagittarius at it's highest is generous, warm,
gentle and uplifting we can use her energy to ease our troubled minds
(Mercury). It could be a simple as perhaps your car broke down during
the retrograde. To Venus in Sagittarius that you could “splurge”
on a new one or splurge on spending the money you need to fix it.
Shower what was broken by Mercury's rewind with the gentle warm
generosities of Venus in Sagittarius. The energy itself has the
potential to play out like the scene in the Grinch. A lot of scenes,
actually, whether it is the part where his heart grows three sizes or
where the Who's come out to sing or where little Who just takes time
to be nice to someone no one else is nice to. It echoes of the heart
opening of the Scrooge. The end of the movie “It's a Wonderful
Life” when every time a bell rings...
It's where our hearts learn
the lesson it needs. Where your words of kindness might change
something for the better more than you could have ever imagined.
Where we have a chance to turn our hearts around.
This also places emphasis on
the element of charm and simple day to day generosities. In a world
of harsh words and criticisms, be rogue. Be nice. Compliment folks.
Look for the good. Share. We all have our own worries and concerns.
Being kind for kinds sake never hurt a soul. It could, however, help
heal one.
The Moon is Void for most of
the day allowing us to gently think things over. She reawakens in
Sagittarius at 8 PM. Overnight, the Sun will square Chiron in Pisces.
Another opportunity at release and healing in preparation for a new
start emerges. The Sagittarius Moon wants to help us make a new
start. We continue to flush out the remnants of the year until while
seeking out that New Year, New Day, Hope is forthcoming energy that
begins to build under our New Moon over the weekend. Keep releasing.
Keep clearing the space clean.
In the morning, we wake spry
as the Sun leaves Chiron and trines Uranus. The Moon will look back
and perhaps shed a tear or two. She will also leave room for
forgiveness, acceptance and help us deliver goodbyes, if we need to.
But, we will be ready, overall, to move forward. New. Different.
Refreshed. Less encumbered. Sun trine Uranus will lift us toward that
as if we were luminaries. If we allow it.
