Today the Moon resides in
Pisces. She isn't very active through the biggest part of the day.
It's a relaxed and floaty kind of feel. However, once she rises on
the East Coast tonight, she starts getting busy with the rest of the
sky a little more directly. And, I don't see this as a bad thing.
Jupiter and Neptune are now waxing back into trine. Tonight, the Moon
will pass through there and link the two up right in time for a
potentially restful night. Which...isn't a horrible thing.
Sleep has been a restless
thing over the last bit due the jangly energy of the eclipses and the
fact that one of those was a lunar eclipse/full moon. Folks
experience that differently. Some feeling exhausted, others manic.
Either way, rest is helpful for each. Tonight, we may actually get
that chance.
The Moon finds Jupiter in
Scorpio by trine at 11:22 PM EDT. She moves on form a conjunction
with Neptune at 3:29 AM.
There may not be much
physical energy in our daylight hours. But, if you need to get some
things done, you can set your “mood” and tempo to music. This
helps to keep things moving and Pisces Moon just adores setting the
mood this way. If you don't have a lot on your plate today, even
better. It's a good day to follow the flow and see where it may lead
you. If you have the opportunity to escape a Monday schedule, take a
nap, laze about and listen to the rain or watch a cloud or two float
by..,I would not discourage you to let it pass you by without taking
advantage of it. If you can't do that, then just take things slow and
steady.

After a night of hopefully
catching up on some good rest, we awaken this morning ready to get
back in the game. At 10:27 AM EDT, the Moon makes a nice grounding
and “traction” grabbing sextile with Pluto in Capricorn. She
remains active without major aspect until opposing Venus in Virgo at
6:42 PM.
When the Moon and Venus are
at odds it can feel uncomfortable. Typing that made me laugh because
with Uranus in Taurus...what is comfortable anyway? But, I digress.
This can be balanced out.
And I know it to be true because I do it everyday. Actually, I think
sometimes my Pisces Moon makes messes just to give my Venus in Virgo
something to do...to help her feel needed. Or, at least that's what I
tell myself.
So, what helps here is
allowing the grounding and sorting through chaos benevolence of Venus
in Virgo to treat our fishy Moon. While also allowing our Pisces Moon
to help us to forgive ourselves and our environment of imperfections.
When balanced appropriately...feet on the ground and hands busy in
everyday toil while allowing the emotional body deliver a little bit
of an artistic and imaginative flair, things become a little easier
to manage. The low end of that being giving too much weight to one
side or the other...getting too wrapped up in the minutia (Venus in
Virgo) or glossing over/ignoring the whole thing as if it didn't even
exist (Pisces Moon).
The Moon is Void following
this opposition. So, double bonus points for taking on a bit of
“Spiritual cleansing” or detox during and following. She remains
Void until entering Aries at 6:54 AM EDT on Wednesday.

Today, many will feel ready
to move forward. Aries Moon emerges from the watery and passive seas
of Pisces and, as Aries Moon does, wants to charge forward. There
isn't anything wrong with that. Just bear in mind the condition of
the ruler of Aries, Mars.
He is still retrograde.
Chiron is still in early Aries, also. But, we also have another
square from Mars to Uranus in Taurus waxing in due to tonight. This
means there is going to be a growing feel of “rush” and a
dwindling of patience along with some general personal discomfort,
angst, anxiety. That kind of thing. Meaning, we switch from a flowy
atmosphere to the rude awakening of a potentially frustrated Ram
within ourselves or just the folks around us in general.
To deal best, do set your
sites on your goal. Adamantly set your pace in the day so that it is
easily manageable. Narrow your focus down to one step at a time.
Remain mindful and cool. Take breaks when you need them. Expect that
there may be delays and deal with them attentively when they occur.
This means that we may not be able to go forward as quickly as we
like but we CAN STILL move forward. Yes. Even under a retrograde sky.
The following aspects fill
in why the above approach can work. Moon clicks on and is ready to go
at 6:54 AM. By 10:59 AM she is conjunct Chiron. 11:51 AM she is
semi-sextile Uranus. 12:05 PM she is sextile Mars Rx in Aquarius.
1:44 PM she is square Saturn Rx in Capricorn as the Sun waxes into
biquintile with the same. Then, she goes on to trine the North Node
at 6:19 PM. The way the whole of that set up goes awry is jumping out
of the bed in the morning like “Oh my gosh, I survived another
apocalypse so I'm going to go out and conquer my whole life today.”
So, you jump out of bed. Run down the hall and off to work you go.
Only to discover your car battery has died. On top of that, the set
of keys you brought doesn't include your house key. You are locked
out. And, oh yeah, that's really bad since you ALSO left your phone
in that locked house. You can't call for help, a cab, roadside
service or even put the whole of this insanity on social media for
commiseration...and, now, it's raining. That snowball just keeps
rolling down hill and getting bigger and bigger.
But, IF, out of the gate you
deliberately slow down. Take things step by step. Manageable and
mindful, it can go much more smoothly. This is not to say that the
world won't spin out around you. OR, that you won't encounter moments
of frustration or angst in other ways even when taking your time and
breathing and all that. I am telling you that if you are in that
“calm/slow” pace then if stuff does break loose around you then
you will be more well positioned to respond to it effectively. I am
also saying that it's still a little crunchy out there after a long
period of the same. We permission to call a time out for ourselves
when we need it. So, if you find that you are in that spot of angst
and frustration know that you are allowed to take a break and will
likely be glad you did such a defiant act in the end.
That way when the Moon rolls
around to square Saturn at about noon as the Sun gets hit sideways by
the same, you can avoid the tendency to beat yourself up for letting
it get the best of you. Saturn will reward you for being
self-contained/directed and well-boundaried with others.
What I've noticed most about
Mars in Aqua square Uranus in Taurus is that this is not Uranus in
Aries. This is a very slow and very uncomfortable kind of eruption.
Mars, when in aspect to Uranus, is jumpy and reactive. Under this
type of pressure, Mars/Uranus can unconsciously or consciously “make
the other shoe drop” on his own because waiting for that to happen
is excruciating. Quite often there is immediate relief but also a
much larger mess than needed to be. BUT, if you can keep your cool
under that pressure...endure/ground out the discomfort...rise above
it...see beyond it...then you've won over half this battle between
Mars and Uranus.
It probably is not a restful
night tonight. The Sun and Moon will create a fire trine at 2:33 AM.
If you feel angsty and restless, you can put that to use burning the
midnight oil. Just don't wear yourself to an absolute frazzle.

We are likely a bit battle
weary or just tired this morning. The Moon is still in Aries but
makes no major aspects until late this evening. In the meantime, the
Sun in Leo moves in to form a biquintile with the Sun right before
dawn. This sets a fatigued stage that is followed by the Aries Moon
making minor aspects to both Jupiter and Neptune.
As night prepares to fall,
the Aries Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn (8:16 PM). This brings
depth and yearning to the table. Shadow play. Eagerness. We are also
probably hungry...hunting...prowling in search of satiation. In order
to deal with this effectively, seek out the root cause of your
craving. What is it you are TRULY yearning for? Then, you can use the
subsequent Moon/Mercury trine to incorporate that into your growing
self-awareness and contemplate a plan. This is part of learning what
motivates you. Money? Power? Love? Fame? Peace? Nacho fries? Your
mileage may vary.
Following the trine with
Mercury RX in Leo, the Moon in Aries is Void until entering Taurus at
3:51 PM tomorrow. This is an extended break for the Moon. Most will
likely enjoy that as things will seem to blip by routinely for a bit.
Friday, August 3, 2018
The Moon is Void for most of
the day. It's a nice break and a nice excuse to take it a little easy
while you can.
At 3:51 PM the Moon wakes up
in the sign of Taurus. The “settled” feel of the day begins to
slip away as she immediately begins to wax into the now waning
Mars/Uranus square. She officially tips the whole of that off between
7:30 and 8:33 PM. Prepare to be slow and methodical. Keep a handle on
your frustration tolerance. There is opportunity to heal some methods
of engagement here as Mars in Aquarius waxes into sextile with Chiron
in Aries. You may find out you can't do something or you may
encounter a road block. An old method used before may not be viable
now. Something may break or not work correctly. But, Mars in amicable
sextile to Chiron in Aries and Saturn in waxing trine with Uranus
says, you can improvise. Failure is not defeat unless you allow it to
keep you from trying it a different way. A new way. And, then
another. And another until you get it done. Unless you come to the
decision that whatever it is you are trying to do “isn't worth it
to you” anymore. And, in that case, Mars in aspect to Uranus sure
can help you drop it like its white hot. If it IS still worth it,
then don't get discouraged! With Uranus in Taurus, this is what we
are learning too. Worth it? Or not? On a personal level. Regardless
of how this evening goes, you will likely learn a little about that
for yourself.
Thankfully, it all does seem
to come to ground quickly. The Moon meets Saturn in Capricorn by
trine at 10:06 PM. That's the mark of satisfaction. Keep at it and
you might just get exactly what you were aiming for.

Today looks like it could be
a little grouchy but not horrible. We meet with the Last Quarter Moon
at 2:18 PM. Usually the conflict between Taurus and Leo comes when
either 1) Leo puts off dramatic flares and Taurus is “over it” or
2) Taurus is being a stick in the mud and Leo wants to have fun. The
best way to deal with that is to negotiate. The Moon wants steady and
comfortable. The Sun wants to lighten up a bit. There is a mix in
there that will work for you. Otherwise, we are winding down and
putting sturdy and
personalized finishing touches on the matters we kicked off at the
New Moon in Cancer. Shedding “emotional skin” on our way to the
next New Moon.
At 5:50 PM there is a chance
for emotional dramatics or intensity to grow as the Moon opposes
Jupiter. This will take whatever you feel and grow it. You have the
ability to change your perspective/philosophy if you choose. Used
best, it's optimistic and future minded. Has a very solid and deep
sense of humor and is very rooted in a firm set of values. On the
lowest? It's selfish, aggrandized and gobbles up all the cookies
without sharing even a little.
Shortly after, the Moon
finds herself snuggled up in sextile to Neptune in Pisces. So, the
best way to go with the Jupiter opposition is to start figuring out a
way to relax and unwind. Then, when the sextile to Neptune comes in,
you'll be well settled for a good night's rest.
The Moon remains active
through the night. 2:58 AM when the Moon squares Mercury in
Leo...darn kids down the street having a party...possibly a drunk
call from 10 years ago ex...or just a little blip of a nightmare.
However, the Moon is also trine Pluto in Capricorn at 3:03 AM. We'll
be well supported to deal appropriately with whatever the square to
Mercury brings about.

Today isn't bad at all. The
Moon still resides in Taurus making no major aspect until 7:46 PM...a
nice grounded trine with Venus in Virgo. Following that aspect the
Moon is Void until entering Gemini at 9:32 PM.
You can use this day for
anything from rest/recovery to plodding/tinkering around on whatever
project you choose. Most will likely feel rather well. After the Moon
enters Gemini tonight, she will trine Mars Rx. With that, we may have
some restlessness due to the plans we have spinning in our heads
along with our laundry list of things to do. Stay well grounded in
the day to lessen this potential. Get your hands dirty. Get outside.
Eat well. Rest. Unplug. You'll thank yourself later.
