Jupiter in Scorpio and a
stellium in Pisces. Yes. There are plenty of other planets and bodies
“up there.” These two water signs, though, are grabbing my
attention over and above our active Warrior Moon. Why? Because these
two signs can “smell your intentions.” Folks with an abundance of
Neptune and Pluto (such as a stellium in Pisces along with Jupiter in
Scorpio mix like we have going on) feel their way around in the world.
They seep into a room allowing their body to pick up on the nuances
that tell them about their atmosphere. They are leviathans. Lumbering
creatures of the deep. Doesn't necessarily give them a vicious
demeanor. Often they are the gentle giants of the world but it does
give them an ethereal sense and an ability to feel without having to
see. Instinctual. Visceral. All absorbent. Quiet. In the shadows.
Lurking.
Sometimes, when a person has
this ability to feel the fear of a person they can 1) take that fear
on as their own or 2) use the person's fear to their own advantage.
Exploit it. Monopolize upon it. See it as the chink in the armor that
is and poke at it. Under an instigating Moon in Aries that meets with
a square to Pluto as night moves forward (8:47 PM) know that
exploitation and attempts to control people through the use of abuse
of power and manipulation of existing fears is at a high potential.
Ok?
That makes how you deal with
your own fear a pretty high priority in this day and continually as
we move forward. My reaction to fear is that it pisses me off. Quite
frankly. Not at whatever instigates the fear. But, at myself for
being fearful. Jupiter, at his highest expression from the sign of
Scorpio, would have us stare down our fears. Dis-empower them. Laugh
at them, even. But, at the same time, Jupiter also operates to shine
a spotlight upon our worst nightmares. Exposing them. Exploiting
them. Making movies out of them. And, knowing the big guy as I
do...he likely sits back and laughs about the whole thing from his
throne of bones and macabre.
This morning, the Moon whips
about in activity in trine to Mars in Sagittarius. Mars here wants to
be hero. His idea of what he can do and what he is capable of is
often overblown and veers on the edge of over-reach. At his highest
expression, he takes the high road. Walks his truth. Goes to War on
the principle of truth, knowledge and wisdom...even to the point of
killing in the name of his Gods and feeling quite justified in doing
so. With the Moon in trine what we likely notice (especially since
Mars is now freed from his square to Neptune) is an uptick in
physical energy and willingness to engage actively in the world.

Yet, as the day darkens, so
does the Mood and the intent. Fear comes forth as the Moon squares
Pluto and how you face that or hide from it will make all the
difference. Don't allow your fears to be preyed upon. Hold your
direction toward your true north and keep wrapping your action around
that. Don't allow yourself to manipulated by those in power who may
profit from keeping you in a constant state of shock and paranoia.
Use the prowess and intuitive powers coming from the signs of Pisces
and Scorpio to allow your body to drink in cues about your
environment. Listen and respond appropriately. If a situation doesn't
feel right...learn to trust and read those cues. That is the power
delivered unto us in this day. Use it to your advantage or be slain
by it. If you can face the wolves in the woods without fear you have
already bested half the challenge. If you can keep your actions on
point toward your goals while employing the incredible intuitive
powers from our water signs; you can make a great deal of progress
within this day. If someone can keep you in fear; they can also keep
you well controlled. Don't give them that chance.

This morning the Aries Moon
startles us awake with a conjunction to Uranus at 6:12 AM Est. The
“bolt” comes and goes quickly as the Moon is rendered Void
following this aspect. She remains Void until entering Taurus at 2:12
PM.
Taurus Moon is strong and
sturdy. But, what I like most about this sign is it is filled with
common sense. Down to Earth. Grounded. Real. That “realness”
meets with the beautiful and compassionate softness of the Sun in
Pisces by melting sextile at 6:17 PM. Then, the grounded nature of
our Moon finds Mercury in Pisces by the same just after midnight.
Mercury is now within orb of
a sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. The voice of compassionate and
gentle leadership is a positive expression of this aspect which is
due to perfect in tomorrows sky just as Venus sinks into a
conjunction with the planet of her higher octave, Neptune.
The Moon finds Saturn by
trine overnight at 2 AM. This is creative mud allowing us to sculpt
visions right out of the aethers of our imagination. On the low end,
it is mudslides. As the season melts, so do the hillsides and the
weather we have in store for this week is ripe for such downhill
tumbles. Be wary of that potential. Also, as the atmosphere may
quickly fluctuate from cold to warm and back again, know the Earth
itself may move with tremors and quakes. As above so below. The mud
slides in our insides and our inner structures begin to shift about
too.
Today, is best earmarked for
assessments of personal values and bringing forth a stronger sense of
empathy and compassion for the world at large. Mercury is intuitive
but well boundaried allowing him to employ his intuitive cues toward
his goals. Venus is about to bleed out with soul touching openness
found in the waxing conjunction to Neptune.
Get real. Get some common
sense. Allow yourself to care. Look at your priorities and values.
See what it is of true importance to you and exalt that. Hug your
loved ones. Say the words you need to say.
The pace is best set on slow
and diligent less you want to come to a point of full frustration
because you can't get to where you want to go as quickly as you think
you should. Slow down. Savor the moment and notice the blessings
present around you...that are there right now without taking them for
granted. Make it a true day of Venus.

The Moon still resides in
Taurus this morning. The major news of the day? Her ruler, Venus,
finds Neptune in Pisces by conjunction. The Moon sextiles this point
just following the perfection. The aspects roll as follows:
Venus conjunct Neptune at
1:42 PM EST
Moon in Taurus sextile
Neptune 2:20 PM
Moon in Taurus sextile Venus
2:23 PM
Mercury in Pisces sextile
Saturn in Capricorn 3:24 PM
More mud. The heart aches
and is split wide open. There is high potential for being completely
enchanted which makes adherence to the principles of Earth, grounding
and boundary even more important. Venus conjunct Neptune is
beautiful. The most squishy heart in existence. But, it is also naive
and sometimes has a tendency to see things as reflected by the beauty
of its own soul rather than how the thing truly is. Earth helps us
boundary that. Protects it. And, gives us an opportunity to also see
things how they really are as we dare to dream of how things COULD be
which is be brought forth by the open...but, vulnerable condition of
Venus.

The conjunction of Venus and
Neptune occurs as both bodies are headed toward the 14th
degree of Pisces. The Sabian Symbol for that point reads (from Dane
Rudyhar) “A young lady wrapped in furs displays supreme elegance.
Necessary superficial advertisement of inner worth. Certificate of
true merit. Schooled esteem. Embarrassing wealth.” In modern day,
there is not much elegance found in prancing around with a dead
animal on your back. And doing so isn't really “up the alley” of
compassionate Pisces. But, if we look beyond that and peer more
deeply into the symbolism here, we have an indication toward the cunning Fox and all the symbolism he represents. We have created
illusions of wealth and stature. We have the ability to enchant,
allure and mystify. We also have the potential to to draw predators
due our magical enchantment. Don't be fooled by the beauty
reflected by what someone adorns themselves with. Watch for it to come through
their actions. Their eyes. And, how they conduct themselves when no
one is looking without the luxury of facade or pretense. True beauty
could wear a potato sack and still be beautiful.
Today is for searching your soul in an effort to find your own inner beauty. Protecting with good boundary and common sense the
true gentleness of your own heart once you find it. It can also be for
enchanting someone right out of their britches or being
perceived/judged by what we wear alone. So, if you need to disguise
yourself to do some detective work, here you go. If you need to charm
someone into divulging information or whatever, this is your sky.
Otherwise, it's gentle. It's soft. And, really idealistic and
potentially naive.

It is still a day for mud.
For beautifully inspired creative visions and landslides internally
and externally of the same. Be gentle. Be slow. Don't allow yourself
to be overly enchanted by facades. Keep your eyes open, tho..there is
high probability to meet angels dressed as vagabonds or cast about
humans in this week. Though, these costumes are open to a wide
variety of folks with a wide variety of intentions. You are going to
have to look through them and peer into their souls learning to trust
the cues coming forth from your internal radar to know the
difference.
Tonight, the Moon trines
Pluto in Capricorn. This gives a night of restorative sleep and
increases our access to the grounding power of the Earth. Many will
crave deep indulgences. If the indulgence is harmless, dip into it.
If it is a threat by way of malefic addiction or obsession, don't
entertain it as it is likely to become the source of your own
undoing. There is chance for “over-indulgence” in such things to
the point of them becoming lethal (drugs, alcohol etc) under this
sky. Again. Don't be afraid to let your heart feel...but protect it.
Boundary it. Keep it safe.

This morning the Moon faces
off with fear by way of an opposition to Jupiter in Scorpio at 6:46
AM. This is as fixed and immobile as it can get. However, that
doesn't sustain the entirety of the day. Following this opposition
(which at its highest humbles us while emboldens us to hold ourselves
steady in the face of our fears while ensuring we have emotional
matters in proper perspective), the Moon is rendered Void. This
Void..hollow echo feel sustains for nearly 12 hours until the Moon
flits into Gemini at 7: 08 PM.
At that ingress, we do begin
to limber up. Air comes to us after being curtly cut off by the
passage of planets from the sign of Aquarius into Pisces. Overnight,
our First Quarter Moon perfects between the signs of Pisces and
Gemini as both Sun and Moon move toward the 5th degree of
their respective signs.
First Quarter Moons present
friction and challenge. That's what they do. The seeds that we
planted at the New Moon are attempting to sprout. That's not easy.
But, the challenge comes with good cause.
If you remember, our guide
for our last New Moon was the 4 of Cups. It's a stable card but at
times can get lost in idealistic vision. Some of the seeds we planted
may have been set with the best of intention but overly idealized.
This First Quarter is going to show us that, most likely.
That doesn't mean we should
give up on our visions...unless they were so convoluted and deluded
they didn't stand a chance in the first place. Gemini is the sign of
learning. We are all students here. So, as the Universe puts forth
challenge toward your goals or intentions ensure you are seated in
the student chair and open to learning rather than allowing yourself
to be stopped in your tracks. It does not mean your dreams have been
defeated. It means, there is more here for you to learn so that you
can bring them to full manifestation.
Today's long Void Moon is
good energy for mulling all that over but not the best for initiating
efforts. It is good for making progress on projects that are have
already been launched but do know the Moon is not engaged. We may not
be able to “get into” our tasks. But, if you need to address
something that calls for a settled and blasé emotional approach,
this is the day to do so. In truth, many may feel stuck until the
Moon's ingress limbers us up a little. But, even in that limbering,
the energy is immediately met with challenge. Patience and a wide
angle panoramic view of the situation are assured assets.

It's a butterfly Moon versus
the world for the next few days. We began overnight with the
challenge of the First Quarter Moon. That weird hypnotic friction
continues between the signs of Gemini and Pisces today. Then, into
the night...the energy is exacerbated even more by way of a lunar
opposition to Mars in Sagittarius at midnight.
Two of my kids have a strong
conflict happening with their luminaries between the signs of Pisces
and Gemini. My oldest has Sun in Gemini square Moon in Pisces. The
youngest Sun in Pisces square Moon in Gemini. Do I need to tell you
the two of them never shut up? Because they don't. The Gemini Sun is
chronically social continually combating the emptiness and deep
hollow sensitivity found in his lunar sphere with incessant chatter
and a circling of friends. The Pisces Sun is a recluse who has a
continual dialogue...with himself. I have yet to figure out, really,
if he is in fact talking to himself or a bunch of ghosts. I have also
yet to figure out if he realizes that other people can hear him.
As young children, talk
about vivid imaginations with these two! Minds zipping from one dream
to the next. Plus, a love of character play and pretend. I am telling
you what, the Gemini loved wearing costumes. He may not admit to it
now, but I have the pictures to prove it. He used to have terrible
nightmares though. This set up can go from wild lovely imaginings to
also bubbling forth deep fears. I helped my Gemini child with his
nightmares by giving him a magic t-shirt to wear at night. The
nightmare shirt had a big multicolored picture of a hand on it that I
told him would make the nightmares STOP. He believed fully in it and
insisted on wearing that shirt to bed for years. Was it magic? Or was
his belief in what I said so strong that it made it so? Does it
matter? It worked.
I will also never forget my
first Halloween with my Pisces Sun/Gemini Moon stepson. We bought the
most wonderful werewolf costume I had ever seen. Kid put it on. Went
to check himself in the mirror...and scared himself. Like he
literally ran from his reflection in the mirror. I laughed so hard I
nearly wet my pants. But, these things...the dreams...the fear..the
shifty uncertainty of what is real, known and unreal is a true thing
when these two signs are in conflict. Mirages happen. Beliefs and
what we allow ourselves to think become very prominent and personally
effective issues. Remember that. Things may not be as they seem. Be
careful what you allow yourself to believe.
Mercury in Pisces now leaves
his sextile with Saturn and moves toward a conjunction with Neptune
which occurs on the 25th. The chance for misunderstanding,
disillusionment, confusion and all that I've just mentioned regarding
mirages, dreams, imaginings and nightmares grows in intensity until
then. Not to mention the probability of malefic mixtures of water and
Mercury ruled things like...dropping your phone in the toilet, drunk
texting, hydroplaning, losing your keys, being easily distracted and
forgetful. Stuff like that. Mercury to Neptune can feel and act a lot
like a Mercury retrograde.
Today, though, what we have
is a Moon that wants to lighten up in conflict with Neptune in Pisces
by square at 6:28 PM and Venus in Pisces by the same at 11:26 PM. Our
butterfly wings are wet. Our fish can become annoyed by chattering.
Talk about potential for exacerbation of misophonia! Is this world
even real? Are we locked down in a suspension tank living in a dream?
That's going to be questionable today.
At midnight the Moon passes
by Mars in Sagittarius by opposition. I immediately heard...”Which
way did he go George?” LOL..part of the crux of being of the
Saturday morning cartoon generation. Anyway, this is ambiguity at its
finest. We may want to do something big and important but the
emotional body and the rest of the bodies are so skewed and...it's
hard to do anything when you can't tell if its live or memorex while
feeling as if you might have fallen into some kind of alternate
reality. You know? Balance it out. Ground and friggin GROUND some
more. Question everything and be open to learning the truth of it.
Don't take anything at face value...look twice. Wipe the dew out of
your eyes and look again. Listen to your intuitive cues. Gemini does
not like to cry. But, there is high probability of that in this day.

Today the uncertain flux of
Friday begins to fade. Slowly. Like fog slowly melting away. We are
still under the influence of a Gemini Moon whose ruler is drunk and
getting more drunk in a waxing conjunction with Neptune. BUT, at 2:58
PM, that Moon lightens and brightens by way of a sextile to Uranus.
This helps to lighten us and dry our wings out a bit. A mixture of
Fire and Air just prior to the Moon reaching Void status.
I encourage you to take
advantage of the brief lightning in the energy as the Moon's next
stop is into the sign of Cancer. She passes into the sign at 10:06
PM.
This gives us another long
Void of Course Moon day. Emotions can rest, dry out and stabilize a
bit. Setting yourself apart or giving yourself a break from worry and
uncertainty are strongly encouraged. Change your scenery. Get out in
the open air and stretch your legs. Air out. Again, not a good day to
kick off anything new, but mundane tasks that don't require a lot of
thought or creativity are greatly supported as well as putting
finishing touches on projects already in progress. It's a cabin fever
day, though. Many will be looking for lightness rather than toil.
Sunday, February 25, 2018
That's it. The last full
week of February just zipped right by us. We switch the page on the
monthly calendar in our week to come. On the first day March we are
also greeted with the first Full Moon of the month. March is framed
on either end with these...so, you know there will be hype about Blue
Moon! Blue Moon! At the end of it...which to me says, “Yay! Now the
smurfs can go home!” And that's about it.
Today our demure and recluse
Venus in Pisces meets with Mars in Sagittarius by square under a
Cancer Moon. This occurs at 7:02 AM and precedes Mercury's
conjunction with Neptune less than a half hour later. The skewed and
intuitively led imaginings of a Neptune flavored Mercury persists as
peaceful Venus conflicts with the lord of War. On a personal level,
this can actually be spicy. The quick mix of chemistry that catalyzes
attraction between the sexes. On a worldly level, empathic/sensitive
hearts meet with the loud over fueled pomp and horse radish of angry
war mongers all justifying their overblown exertions.
Our Moon? Sides with Pisces
meeting the Sun by trine at 9:40 AM. Gentleness wins this day over
and above pompous acts of inflated ego fueled heroism.
Shortly after the rising
tides of this water trine crest, the Moon stands off with Saturn in
Capricorn (9:52 AM) with the Sun sobering up in sextile to same at
12:47 PM. The creative mud continues to flow. However, our moody Moon
feels the weight of pressure from Saturn even if he is supportive to
our Sun by transit. Boundary. Direction. Compassionate and gentle
leadership and an ability to shave the truth away from fiction and
rhetoric are necessary.
Adhere to what it is you
personally need. That's what Moon in Cancer points toward. Take care
of yourself so that you can take care of the children. Circle the
wagons. Eat well. Use the energy coming from Saturn to find some
sturdy and stable ground for yourself. Work on acceptance and
forgiveness if needed as the energy is certainly ripe for such.
Apologies fit well in this sky. But so do lies. Ensure you walk the
talk as much as you profess it. We are...again...very strongly
intuitive in this day. Listen to the cues that come from that realm.
Keep reaching to learn how to read the symbolism and understand the
language of the unspoken because that is where you will find the
undocumented and unspoken truth. Though, there very well could be
impromptu confessions within this day...Mercury/Neptune is prone to
do so as well as unwittingly give itself away by letting the mouth
run about unhinged and unchecked. My advice, is listen more than you
speak.
The Moon goes full melt as
darkness falls by way of a trine to Neptune at 8:51 PM. Of course,
the trine to Mercury comes swiftly after. A night filled with dreams
and an evening adrift in the Poppy fields is what this feels like. It
continues groggily into tomorrow morning as the Moon finds Venus in
Pisces by trine but fear permeates our sphere with a lunar opposition
to Pluto shortly after. Use the energy from Saturn to make a plan.
Set goal. Envision something to “spot” like a dancer as she
twirls in the event of a feeling of seasickness..which is also
possible under this sky. Rest. Eat. Self-care.
