Monday June 25, 2018
The theme of this week is to shear away collective distraction in an effort to zero in on your own
business. If you can do that, you might be surprised how much
progress you can make. It will be difficult. There will likely be things that emerge for you to deal with that you had not planned on
dealing with. But, the end result is always going to be refocus.
Remember what it is you are trying to achieve and don't let outside
influence catalyze you away from that or poke you into an immediate,
unconscious knee jerk response.
Use your anger intelligently. Use
the building Mars energy to your benefit by expending it wisely. Work
and fight smarter, not harder.
The Moon entered Sagittarius
at midnight. Her first major aspect is a trine to Chiron in Aries at
5:08 AM. Then, at 1:19 PM, Venus in Leo squares Jupiter in Scorpio.
Jupiter is pretty much quivering in station too. He doesn't move off
the 13th degree of Scorpio through the entire month of
July. He stations direct on July 11th and finally crosses
the 14th degree of Scorpio on the night of 7/31. So, let's
look at the symbols he is waffling between for the entirety of the
month.
He doesn't make it back to
totally to 13 Scorpio, but the symbolism alludes to being on the
brink of a breakthrough: “In an improvised laboratory an inventor
is near success. Driving power toward achievement, as featured in all
benefactors of mankind. Self-sufficient activity. Clever
outwitting.
Once direct, Jupiter will
finally cross over the 14th degree which says: “Workers
push a telephone line across forbidding ranges. The will to
association regardless of time and space. Linkage of separate realms.
Spiritual living “in spite of” nature.
The latter symbol, I know
well. It is indicative of making connections. This can be between
folks who normally don't communicate. It can be in the mind of the
beholder, making mental connection or gleaning understanding from
matters of our past and linking them to the future. It can be as
simple as putting the pieces of a puzzle together. Either way, the
inventor experiments in 13 and the “connection” of the
information and the delivery of this discovery is done in Scorpio 14.
This is where my Mercury is.
For me, it plays out as linking the Spiritual world and her symbolism
with our waking/walking reality. Aside from the fact that I commune
with folks in unusual ways. But, here, whatever we linger on in our
minds as a “puzzle” has the answers plunking into place as
Jupiter turns around.
Meanwhile, during the square
from Venus to Jupiter today, Venus moves toward the 14th
degree of Leo which reads: “Cherub like, a human soul whispers,
seeking to manifest. The desire to be, to suffer and to grow
which brings Spirit to Earth. Whole-souled, self-giving. Yearning
for experience.”
Venus in square to Jupiter
in Scorpio kick starts a craving. Some folks may interpret that
craving as a need for something personal be that food, something you
can buy or what have you. BUT the ultimate call of that “craving”
is to live and experience. A wishing for life in the midst of what
can be viewed as as atmosphere in the collective hell bent on keeping
folks in survival mode. We want to feel something other than utter
chaos. Something a little closer to joy and real life.
There is a personal Void
that is opened here and our attention is brought to it through this
square. Many will try to fill the Void in artificial or saccharine
ways not realizing that the quench of the craving is just to choose
joy, to choose life, to choose love to choose to live one's life in
accordance with what one truly values. Some may even placate the
empty space by giving away physical possessions or donating
generously to their charity of choice. Others may over-eat or
over-indulge or over-spend in an effort to fill the empty space. But,
we are on a quest here seeking the truth of our own hearts and trying
to decide what it is that we are personally missing.
It's in those quiet still
moments when we choose to actually sit with the emptiness that we can
realize what is missing. When we furiously try to fill it with more
stuff that makes us fill empty in the residual which can become quite
problematic. At that point, greed and glut can take over when really,
all the fulfillment wants is a feeling of love, joy, connection,
experience and appreciation.
Mars stations to turn
retrograde this week. Through his station I've sent up warning flares
about how to handle how this may make you feel. But, the highest call
of Mars in Aquarius and any Mars/Uranus is that of independently
fostered action. I hear a lot of “you hit me and I hit you back”
or “eye for an eye” stuff like that. You do realize this is
reflexive action. Right? You were not planning to hit anyone until
they hit you. You just allowed them to dictate your next response in
that regard. You were just controlled. But, it doesn't have to be
that way. As an example, say you were planning to go to the grocery
store today. It's written on the calendar, you have your list and the
budget ready. But, you get up that morning and something horrible has
broken loose in the news and it spins you into being triggered,
angry, or whatever. You don't go to the grocery store because after
you are too emotionally scattered. Your plans usurped by something
someone else has done. Meaning. Your next step was just controlled by
someone else whether that was the point of what they were trying to
do or not.
It's not that you didn't
have a choice. You do. And still maintain a choice after the
“triggering” is done. But, lots of folks are missing out on the
fact that we allow this to happen to us everyday. But, Mars in
Aquarius? At his highest will do what it has planned and stick to his
game plan IN SPITE of efforts that break forth in an effort to
distract him.
With the South Node in
Aquarius this is stuff we should already know and be good at in an
effort to meet the call of the North Node in Leo. An ability to be
you and express that fully IN SPITE OF the actions (Mars) of the
groups of folks (Aquarius) around us. Please remember this in our
week to come. That push toward reflexive and unconscious action will
continue if not exacerbate. As Mars stations, there is a huge
internal “tug” to DO SOMETHING. I'm not saying to do nothing and
avoid the whole situation. I am saying think your plans through and
don't allow yourself to be catalyzed into action before you are
ready...which is something that this Venus/Jupiter square sure could
push folks toward. We could respond unconsciously to the craving
never fully assessing what it is in our psyche that is driving it in
the first place. We need to ask ourselves what we are truly craving
here and seek that out instead of just mindlessly consuming in an
effort to fill the empty holes opening inside of us.
When Jupiter turns around
and begins to move forward crossing the 14th degree of
Scorpio, we will make connections within ourselves and likely with
others as well. But, until then, we are still experimenting in an
attempt to find personally fitting solutions. The thing to know is
that nothing outside of you can placate a personal void. Filling it
has to be an internally fostered affair. So, seek not in the outside
world to fulfill your emptiness. Seek internally first to see if you
can discover the true thing you are craving before you venture out to
find it. What's your soul..the inner child...the truth of your heart
tell you that you are truly craving? Today is the day to begin
riddling it and experimenting to find out so that we can venture
toward our future in a way that helps us find our way to it. Personal
fulfillment is not something that takes place outside of you. As we
attempt to figure out what this is for us on a persona level we won't
find the answers within the collective either. That answer resides
only within you.
We are experiencing the wrap
up lessons of the nodal axis through the sign of Leo. Part of those
wrap up lessons include introductory lessons to the North Node Cancer
which, among other things, will test our ability to deal with our own
emotions. The test of the North Node in Leo? Can you be true to
yourself and secure in your sense of self in spite of collective
distraction and attempts to catalyze you into action. Can you?
Because I know folks who can't decide anything about what they are
going to do on any given day right now until they check to see what
is going on in the collective. Essentially surrendering control of
their lives and their decisions to some unknown author or entity.
This is low expression of Mars in Aquarius. High expression is the
exact opposite. It's cool. It's precise. It doesn't give a flip what
anyone else does. It's focused in a way that disallows outer
circumstances to dictate his next action. You might want to remember
that as we move forward under these skies. Ensure no one is dictating
or orchestrating your next move, except you. When you are ready. Not
before.
The Moon is really not
active long in the sign of Sagittarius. Following the Venus/Jupiter
square, though, she does sextile Mars very strongly vibrating in his
station. There could be catalysts sent forth here just begging for
you to respond unconsciously to them. Then, After nightfall, the
Moon meets Venus in trine (4:50 AM) and Neptune by square just before
9 AM EDT. From here she is Void through the rest of the day tomorrow.
From 9 AM 6/26 all the way until she enters Capricorn which doesn't
occur until about noon on the 27th (Wednesday).
So, we have the craving from
Venus/Jupiter. Then there's the “triggering” of Moon/Mars. The
lunar trine with Venus asks “were we true to ourselves” followed
quickly be an uptick in sensitivity and emotional response as the
Moon goes Void in Sag. That “dull hollow ache” and the potential
confusion of Moon/Neptune holds all through tomorrow. We could be
crying with remorse over what we ended up doing in the face of
emptiness and being catalyzed OR crying with relief that we didn't
allow any of that to prompt us to forget who we really are.

As I said in yesterday's
write up, the Moon is Void following a square with Neptune at a
midday. After the Moon enters Void status, Mars officially turns Rx
in Aquarius at 4:40 PM. The Sun in Cancer opposes Saturn in Capricorn
tomorrow morning (Moon is still Void).
In the most mundane sense
this says do not start anything new. It's alright to work on projects
you have already started but taking on new action is not advised
here. The emotional system is actually delivered a little bit of a
break even if we are still pretty sensitive as she went Void in
square to Neptune. But, when she wakes back up she will be fat, full
and will be continuing forward into the path of ecliptic.
I'd mark today for downtime,
if you can. Or working on winding projects down more than starting
them up. It's a day of quiet personal contemplation. But do know
there will likely be things pop loose vying for your attention in the
collective. You don't have to slay yourself with that though.
Directing your attention internally here is the best way to go. I'm
not suggesting burying your head in the sand. I'm merely suggesting
to check in with yourself first. Today is stellar for that. I suggest
taking advantage of it.
Emotions come back strong
under the Moon in Cap and we won't experience the usual drop in
energy that follows due the fact that eclipses are coming next which
will keep us on edge regardless of the Moon phase. Today is a gift,
really. But, a gift that can be stolen from you if you give too much
power to things beyond yourself to dictate what you are doing.
Wednesday, June 27, 2018
We are still under the
influence of the deep internal nature of the Void Moon as the Sun
opposes Saturn in Capricorn this morning. Saturn is Rx and while an
opposition often brings more of the potential for the “other” to
be brought into the equation, this looks like a personal reckoning to
me. In which we stand off with ourselves questioning if we are living
up to our own personal doctrine...or not? We check ourselves for
maturity, accountability, responsibility and stand off with our
personal experience as well as the plans we've made for ourselves
moving forward.
In that introspection we may
find ways in which we could build better personal boundary in an
effort to maintain focus on our own goals while also recognizing
blocks or hindrances that may keep us from doing just that.
The Moon “wakes back up”
in the sign of Capricorn at 11:53 AM. The Full Moon has arrived
perfecting tonight just after midnight at 6 Capricorn/Cancer 28.
Sun
at 7 Cancer: In
a moonlit fairy glade two little elves are dancing (two references to
dancing).
Man's
recognition of the elusive play of underlying forces in nature.
Cooperation with the invisible.
Unusual
good luck.
For the Moon at 7 Capricorn: A
heavily veiled heirophant leads a ritual of power. Gathering together
of the power of a group to one purpose and into an individual will.
“Avatar”
ship.
For
the Moon's ruler, Saturn Rx, moving toward 5 Capricorn: An
American Indian Camp; A fierce war dance begins. Mobilization of
latent
energies for determined self-exertion. Obsession by elemental forces.
Violent awakening to reality.
Before the Full Moon officially pops,
though, she makes a few aspects on her way in. The first is a trine
to Uranus in Taurus at 3:41 PM followed by a conjunction to Saturn in
Capricorn at 11:34 PM. The trine to Uranus gives us a chance to look
at our plans and make some personally fostered and unique solutions.
We imbue our future goals with a growing set of personal values and
realize that we can, in fact, make some of our own rules. Then, when
the Moon crosses by Saturn, we are shown precisely where these
“blocks” we need to remove reside. As the Full Moon culminates,
we can have alternative plan in place and are able to then release
these energetic or physical blocks from our path. With Saturn in
play, if we release our grasp or our energetic attention from this
“block” it literally could be obliterated for good. The caution
being not aiming the release effort in a way that it blows apart your
entire foundation.
We are looking at matters of personal
power. How and if we recognize it. And, at the end of it, how we
choose to exert it. It comes by way of an ability to accept our
current circumstances as is while learning to work within that
framework instead of constantly just wishing it away or standing in
denial of it. It is what it is. And, this is what we will do about
it. It's not dramatic but the Full Moon makes it feel that way. It's
a simple as removing obstacles out of the road after a storm. Or can
be.
Our Guide for this Full Moon is the
King of Cups which calls us toward compassionate leadership and the
employment of creativity as well as personal emotional control with
deliberate direction of the same. This King may not obliterate
obstacles but he sure knows how to flow around them thus eroding
their rough edges and power to direct his flow away with time. He
operates indirectly in his leadership efforts essentially guiding
folks where he wants them to go instead of ordering them there.
Watch for the whole write up on the
Full Moon in Capricorn tomorrow on the blog.

This morning the Full Moon has
culminated overnight and makes no further aspects in this day until
meeting Jupiter by sextile at 3:14 PM. This can feel like a steady
source of relief if we were able to hold ourselves true through the
beginning of this week. It is a mild and gentle aspect that likely
helps folks feel better instead of worse.
As the day moves forward, the Moon
sextiles Neptune at 9:07 PM helping us to relax and unwind even more
while hopefully pointing us in the right direction to get a night of
solid rest. The Moon remains active overnight as Mercury enters Leo
at 1:16 AM. In the morning, the Moon meets Pluto by conjunction (4:58
AM) and falls Void. Friday is another day of a very long VOC Moon
that helps te emotional body settle and re-calibrate for an extended
period of time. She doesn't cross into the sign of Aquarius until
midnight tomorrow night.
Friday, June 29, 2018
The Moon is Void all day
today following a conjunction with Pluto at 4:58 AM. This puts a
serious but subdued impression upon this day in which we are likely
busy with our hands in our own business. This is an excellent day for
cleaning, resting, winding down existing projects or diligently
marking off mundane tasks on your list.
Saturday, June 30, 2018
The Moon woke up in Aquarius
at midnight last night. In this day, her ruler is going to square off
with Mercury newly in Leo. But the Moon finds both these energies
first. She opposes Mercury in Leo at 4:02 AM and squares Uranus
barely 30 minutes later. This creates a VERY uncomfortable fixed
tsquare that finds outlet in Scorpio. The square between Mercury and
Uranus officially perfects at 9:01 AM at the 2nd degree of
the fixed signs.
In the absolute most mundane
sense this can forebode some quite wicked or severe weather. With the
Moon in Air, I often think of wind more than rain. But, we are
looking at a collection of wild cards here and I've noticed that some
of my indicators for “weather events” have changed a bit since
Uranus entered Taurus in compared to when he was in Aries. So, I'm
still observing/studying that dynamic. Yet very often Mercury in
conflict with Uranus brings weathery weather. With Aquarius in play,
hail, windstorms, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and the like
wouldn't surprise me.
Weather aside, Mercury
square Uranus is either mad as a hatter or flat out genius. The
energy itself can kick off headaches, mania, a shotgun mouth or just
an anxious feeling of being on edge. With Uranus in Taurus, what you
are looking for are common sense answers above and beyond something
more convoluted or complicated. With the outlet falling in Scorpio,
you are going to want to observe where you mental body goes with
things before you ever take action on it. There is high potential for
shadow to be revealed here. So ensure you are not shooting yourself
in the foot (this aspect also plays with Chiron in Aries).
Plus, this is very near the
nodes with Mars still in the way there as well. It's one of those
moments in which we could feel catalyzed into immediate response or
before we are ready. But, the sign of Aquarius calls for us to be
cool and observant. It says to work smart and fight smart which means
disallowing anyone to “shock” us into action or to become victim
to unconscious action in the midst of chaos whether it be
orchestrated or naturally occurring. My favorite example of Uranus in
high function is that of an emergency responder. Here we have folks
running toward the disastrous unknown. They have to sheer through the
distraction of the chaos and focus in on what and whome needs their
expert help. Of course they do this with their own safety in mind and
awareness of their surroundings. But, they are in search of the true
emergency...to remove folks from danger, stop the bleeding, save the
baby and put out the fire.
If you think these folks
don't have the same reactive type of system in them that you have
within yourself, you would be incorrect. They do. But, they've
learned to direct the adrenaline toward their agenda/job, while
maintaining complete control of their body and actions. They end up
saving half the world within that days work just because they know
what they are doing, how to do it and deploy those efforts in spite
of some quite harrowing conditions. Use your adrenaline. Feel the
surge but keep a cool, calm and clear head. Then, triage whatever the
situation is dealing with it step by step until any and all danger
has subsided. But, they maintain a sense of cool steadiness even in the most pressurized situations. The ability to maintain that coolness is what we all need to deal with Uranus effectively.
There is high potential for
the “fuse” to be lit in this day. There could be gaslighting
efforts, arguments, harsh/cutting words, mental health issues
including but not limited to mania, headaches, car/plane accidents,
severe weather...and with Uranus in Taurus the Earth could literally
move in some places. The answer with the outlet in Scorpio? Survive.
Be fearless. Focus. Endure.
The fuses continue to be
“lit” as the day goes on. At 4:10 PM Mercury stubs his toe in
trine to Chiron in Aries. Then, at 7:11 Pm, the Moon meets with Mars
by conjunction. Emotion and motivation meld. Here we are inspired to
take action. But, it should be clearly planned independent action
that takes place with cool awareness instead of being driven by
reactiveness. This is great for movements in the interest of social
welfare within the collective. It's great for taking action in a way
that improves your personal situation. It's even great for a light
social night with friends. Main thing being, stay cool and in control
of what you are doing while disallowing outside influence to cause
you to merely react unconsciously.
Sunday, July 1, 2018
Ah, hello July...which, on
the whole, looks like a rather interesting month if nothing else.
Today the Moon is still active in Aquarius. She clashes with Jupiter
before dawn. The rest of the day is filled with nuance...and probably
rest/recovery efforts following the potential chaos that came from
the Mercury/Uranus square.
At 6:57 PM, the Moon
uncomfortably opposes Venus in Leo asking us to balance out the
equation of how connected we are to issues within the collective with
how connected we are to making self-respectful decisions, realizing
our own value and also honoring our own values. Balance is key here
to ensure all the pieces fit together in a manner that matches a true
and respectful expression of ourselves.
Following this aspect, the
Moon is rendered Void. She remains that way through tomorrow morning
until entering the sign of Pisces at 1:32 PM. This Void Moon period
is great for letting the dust settle and getting our feet back under
us ahead of our week to come. Emotionality and potential confusion
meet us early in the week under the Pisces Moon. But, when the Moon
hits Aries midweek, we are ready to pull the trigger to re-engage.
But, today marks the beginning of period meant to be used for
withdraw and self reckoning. It calls us home to ourselves in the
beginning of the week more than asking us to march forth.
