Early this morning, the Moon
passed into Aquarius. She is still Saturn ruled by traditional
theory. But, she is co-ruled by Uranus which brightens the affect a
bit in comparison to Moon in Capricorn. On the downside, Aquarius can
also be even colder than Capricorn. More detached. On the converse,
the Moon is more inclined to themes of social justice, collaboration
and amicability as well. It would serve us well to learn the higher
function of Aquarius as the stellium in Capricorn begins to break up
from here pulling each of these planets across our South Node. Then,
of course, we will deal with the future Mars retrograde. The path of
which will have Mars involved in eclipses, harsh squares with Uranus
and test us on our ability to employ the more positive energies of
Aquarius.
Today can serve as an
introduction to those lessons. First by way of the Moon. Then, by way
of Venus as she enters the sign at 8:44 PM EST. Another hint toward
this practicing this energy comes by way of an inconjunct from Mars
in Scorpio to Uranus in Aries that occurs at around 4:37 PM. This
inconjunct will create a yod with any bodies between 23-25 Virgo or
Gemini. Planets from Gemini create a focal point with Mars. While
planets in Virgo create a focal point with Uranus. Now. The sextile
or inconjunct with the planets in Gemini/Virgo from Uranus has been
off and on in 2017. Mars' presence calls us to full illustration of
what you may have learned from these aspects over the course of that
time. The key being to work the sextile in an effort to meet the
highest call of apex planet with planets at 24 degrees receiving the
direct impact.
Mars and Uranus in any
combination calls us to conscious response. The feel is that of
adrenaline or over-excitement. It can be wildly electric, impulsive,
rebellious with no discernible goal other to rebel and unconscious
knee-jerk reactions. To deal, grounding is essential as well as
remaining very mindful of the impact of your actions upon your long
term goals and upon collective at large. Otherwise, Mars/Uranus is a
warrior for the truth, clarity and social justice. Uranus being the
higher octave of Mercury calls us to evolve our thinking and to apply
innovation and expertise over our actions. We aim for precision and
with Mars/Uranus, once the technique is perfected, that precision can
come rather swiftly. The effect of this inconjunct are mild, most
likely. However, the Moon, Venus and Mars all receive an introduction
to the cool, intelligent and sparkly ice clean of Aquarius beginning
today. The heaviness we have been feeling from the collaboration in
Capricorn will begin to ease. Energy from Uranus/Aquarius could be
the “spark of life” that comes toward our intentions. The magic
“touch” that causes the metaphorical “heart” of a goal to
begin beating. Aquarius and Uranus represent energies that can go
really, really well. Or really, really bad quite quickly. Grounding,
an ability to self direct (which WAS practiced under our Capricorn
stellium) and a clear vision of the perceived outcome you desire make
all the difference.
The Moon makes no major
aspects within this day following her ingress into Aquarius. Thus,
today becomes mostly a time of transition evolving planets from one
sign into the next. It's likely to feel rather pleasant, active
(barring any negative influence coming from the waxing trine between
Mars and Chiron) and perhaps even a bit lighter than earlier in this
week.

The major aspect of today
comes by way of Mars in Scorpio trine Chiron in Pisces at midday. The
New Moon in Scorpio last Fall called us to learn to metaphorically
“walk with our limp.” Asking us to develop ways forward that
acknowledged our weaknesses, biases, addictions, denials and naivete.
Now, our progress is “tested.” If the inconjunct between
Mars/Uranus yesterday caused unconscious action, we could feel the
metaphorical bullet in our foot today. Or, there could be illness,
confusion, or other Neptunian influence that subsequently effects how
we can or choose to engage. Today we can learn to move beyond our limitations.
This calls for flow and
gentleness more than force. However, it does come with an air of
endurance and perhaps even an ability to numb out pain that may have
been exacerbated under yesterday's Mars/Uranus energy. The spark of
life has been inflicted upon our intentions. Don't expect them to
know how to walk on day one. Take it slow and methodically.
At 7:02 PM, the Moon squares
off with Jupiter in Scorpio. She doesn't necessarily like his dark
humor or tendency to exacerbate and make large the waves. Jupiter
doesn't like Aqua Moon's uppity standoffish nature. However, the
general influence can brighten the mood a bit further (as long as
perspective remains in check) while forcing us to blend what we know
of the dark underbelly into our growing desire to build a more aware
and conscious world. The wisdom of Jupiter in Scorpio leaves out no
detail of the abuses he has found in the use of power. Though, likely
not welcomed, this is usable information for our Aquarius Moon.
Overnight, the Moon sextiles
her modern ruler, Uranus in Aries. This is also brightening helping
us to rise above the swirling of the waters with a mixture of both
the fire (action) and ice (cold, solid resolve). Yet, conflict
between air and water rises again as the Moon finds Mars by square at
6:53 AM tomorrow. Dawn brings both inspiration and ambiguity.
Following the square with Mars, the Moon is void until entering the
Piscean seas at 3:28 PM. The “softening” of Capricorn does
continue here. But, earmark tomorrow for rest, quiet contemplation or
working on existing projects.

The Moon is Void following a
square with Mars in Scorpio this morning. She drifts into Pisces at
3:28 PM. Meanwhile, Mercury in Capricorn melts and relaxes a little
with a sextile to Neptune at 8:08 PM. These are the words of a
compassionate and empathic leader. Or the words of leadership under
the influence. The best point of use is to embrace the influence of
Neptune and limber up some of the stoic thinking of Mercury in
Capricorn. Speak and think that the leader that has true concern for
their underlings.
At 10:10 PM, Capricorn
season officially comes to a close. Though, we will have Saturn and
Mercury there for quite some time, the Sun leaves the sign joining
Venus also in Aquarius. All elemental bases are touched here. Fire.
Earth. Air. Water. A mixture from which you can employ or take
whatever it is you need. Empathy does rise under Mercury/Neptune and
Moon in Pisces. So, the energy does remain more inclined toward
relaxing and recovering rather than embarking with great force. At
10:30 PM, the Moon does touch ground and boundary with a lovely
sextile to Saturn. I say lovely, because this is where my Moon also
resides. It's very stable and comforting energy to have under a
Pisces Moon. There is security and boundary here. Which is really
nice. Afterall, emotional energy has been cast to the seas. It's
always nice to have a boat in such instances. Saturn in Capricorn
provides a rather sturdy one for our drifty Moon here.

Ah, watery, dreamy,
potentially emotional, likely creative and flowy Saturday. The Moon
lingers in Pisces this morning. Many may choose to also linger in
dream a little bit longer than typical. At 3:46 PM she meets Neptune
by conjunction and we are in the poppy fields with the cast from the
Wizard of Oz. More sleepy. More dreamy. Of course there is also the
chance at illness being a factor as the body's defenses are rather
slow and permeable under the influence of Neptune.
As the day moves forward,
the Moon does receive solid and sturdy support by the way of a
sextile to Mercury in Capricorn. A reliable sense of grounding and a
strong vibe of common sense bring boundary to our fishy Moon.
Overnight, the Moon restores
with a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. In the morning, the Sun emerges
finding the Moon and Jupiter in watery trine. We are at a stronger
capacity to perform in our tomorrow. Still a little slow but more
strongly supported by the energies of both Capricorn and Scorpio.
Today. Rest. Dream. Create. Listen to music. Drift and heal. Sink
deep into sleep tonight and wake up a little brighter and little more
willing to engage tomorrow.

As I mentioned, this morning
we wake up to the Pisces Moon in trine to Jupiter in Scorpio. This
broadens and brightens the affect packing a bit of optimism with it.
It's not forceful. Yet is more flow than force. Plus, the mixture of
Scorpio and Pisces, here, raises the bar on intuitive power. Waters
run deep here. It's a super set up for divination practices, prayer,
meditation and assessing the “feel” of the world and energies
around you.
At 4:35 PM, the Moon dips
low with a conjunction to Chiron which could cause us to lose a bit
of traction. Again, this could be to due illness, fatigue, naivete,
idealism or, even, addiction. But, this is followed by a trine to
Mars at 8:14 PM that can gently re-energize us.
Following the trine with
Mars, the Moon is Void until 1:28 AM EST. Tomorrow, we are prone to
engagement and action. Plus, there is added pressure to perform. Get
all your ducks in a row in a preparation today. Line things out so
the morning clicks by more easily tomorrow. Rest and get ready to get
to work.
