There isn't much happening
“out there” today or the whole of this week, really. AAAHH! YES I
MEAN IT!
We have the Moon still
active in Virgo all day. But, she doesn't make any major aspects
following her trine with Pluto at 7:12 AM this morning. After
midnight, she will trine Mars Rx newly in Capricorn before reaching
Void status.
So, today is good for
launching new initiatives (Moon now waxes) as well as putting
together plans and prioritizing. Mars coming in by trine is excellent
help with that.
Many are still trying to get
their feet back underneath them following the culmination of eclipse
season. Today is a great day to get well grounded and back into
routine.
The Moon remains Void
(following the trine to Mars 00:38 AM EDT in the morning) for only a
few minutes. She enters Libra just a few minutes shy of 1 AM.

The passage of the Moon
through Virgo has been a great chance to “let the dust settle.”
Using the last two days to get things back in order would have been
the best way to go. Particularly because the Libra Moon is likely to
be a little stressed.
For example, we wake up this
morning with the Libra Moon in square to Saturn in Capricorn (5:56
AM). We may feel overwhelmed and pressured by the work load we have.
Or could be staring down some type of block and think “hey!
Somebody needs to do something about that!” But, if under
yesterday's Virgo Moon, we put a working and reasonable plan in
place; then, when the pressure from the Lunar square to Saturn comes
in this morning we still may feel the pressure BUT have a “plan of
attack” already in place...which helps. Otherwise, the morning is
heavy and likely cumbersome.
By 2:06 PM, things lighten
up. We've either made progress or have given up. Libra Moon conjunct
Venus is ready to lay down the heavy in favor of airy
conversation/socialization or just relaxation.
By 10:10 PM, the brain is
busy as the Moon sextiles Mercury Rx in Leo. Due this, there may be a
laundry list of things running rampant in our brains as we attempt to
sleep. It's not a harsh aspect, though. So, it might blip right by
without notice. It can be used to rethink our boundary between self
and other, though. If you are afraid to do something or say something
because someone else might get upset or something to that effect, it
may be time to balance that self/other dynamic out a little and make
sure you are hearing your own voice instead of living your life
according to what you think everyone else wants you to do.

This morning the Moon is
still in Libra. So, many have their steely “I'm fine” face on.
Who knows what's really going on behind the facade. But, at 9:52 AM,
we could find out as the Moon squares Pluto and “all nice bets are
off.”
This kick starts a hunger.
So, hopefully folks will just have a candy bar or something and
relax. But, we could see some emotional manipulation or malefic use
in power in relationships, also.
At 4:23 PM, the Moon and Sun
make a nice little sextile which could help to offset any of the
negative that came from the Moon/Pluto square. Or, it could actually
make it a little worse.
Now this isn't some kind of
wild set up. But, if the Moon/Pluto square dredges up unchained ugly;
then, the Sun/Moon sextile could dredge up short sightedness,
narcissism...ego-centric behavior. You know? Just because it is a
softer aspect doesn't prevent folks from being assholes.
So, the best way to use this
is to note what the Moon/Pluto square dredges up in the way of want,
fear, paranoia...what have you...and stare it down. Ground it out.
Then, as this Sun/Moon sextile waxes in look at ways in which you
(Sun in Leo) can co-create or cooperate with others (Moon in Libra)
so that you can both get a little more close to what it is you want.
One of those, you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours kinda deals.
The Moon remains active the
rest of the day. In the morning at about 4 AM, she meets Mars Rx by
square which is ambiguity and potentially a sense of self-defeat.
Then, the Moon is Void until 5 AM on Thursday morning when she enters
Scorpio.
Now, this is essentially the
same kind of set up energetically that we had with Moon square Pluto.
How you handle yourself and your emotional body at the end of the day
is going to set you up for how well tomorrow goes. A Scorpio Moon can
become seething, resentful, fearful or paranoid. OR, it can focus in
on what needs to be done/addressed and get busy doing it.
Good thing about that is
Moon in Scorpio is less stressed than Moon in Libra with the
exception of her opposition to Uranus (tomorrow at 9:28 AM). However,
steered appropriately and the opposition to Uranus can actually help
us ground out or rise above shadow and fearful potential an effort to
see things a little more clearly. I suggest swinging it that way if
you can.
The main problem being as
the Moon in Libra squares Mars...even though better positioned in
Capricorn he is still Rx. So, we can have some frustration, ambiguity
and a sense of pressure that lingers as the Moon rests in Void
status. Then, when she kicks over into Scorpio we have this “do it
or die” kind of mentality that meets with the catalytic energy of
Uranus shortly thereafter. So, that frustration, ambiguity and
frustration can turn into hyper or even OVER focus/obsession that
also meets with anxiety. Folks react to anxiety differently. Some
fearfully. Some angrily. It all depends. Key to that being...not
allowing the anxiety to dictate your actions. And, that's HARD! It
involves re-directing the body's fight or flight response to
something that becomes useful and manageable. Grounding it out or
rising above the initial “angst” is the way to go with that.
Plus, Moon/Uranus is not naturally patient. This is something that a
native with this energy has to work on. By passing aspect, you don't
get much time to figure that out. Let alone how to do it.
Start tomorrow in routine
and from a well grounded position. We will likely feel as if we need
to rush. But, really...that's just the energy of Uranus. It can be
over-come and you can slow the pace to something you can manage more
easily.

This morning the Moon wakes
up in Scorpio at about 5 AM. Then, she opposes Uranus at about 9:30
AM. As I've mentioned, the best way to engage in this day is to start
by touching ground and holding your sense of patience and diligence
to you tightly. Remember your long term goals and steer everything
toward that end without expecting things to go exactly as planned. If
you get frustrated, take a break. Ground. Then, go back to it.
Disallow frustration and anxiety to cause you to metaphorically cut
your nose off to spite your face.
After the opposition to
Uranus, the Moon quickly waxes into sextile with Saturn (10:07 AM)
which helps us to stay sober, realistic and goal-oriented. See? The
angst from the Moon/Uranus opposition comes but passes quickly and is
replaced by sturdy, focused and enduring energy. Don't let the blip
of Uranus rip a hole in your whole day.
The rest of the day goes on
without major aspect from the Moon. You CAN make diligent and sturdy
progress here with a little focus, endurance and a flexible plan.
At 2:19 AM, the Moon squares
off with Mercury in Leo. Again, more potential for brain spin,
nightmares...maybe a few headaches or sleep disruptions are possible.
Be easy with yourself and assess what the brain dredges up for
potential shadow interplay and fear. Watch out for folks who are
overly focused on “what about me” because there may be some of
those. You can be supportive but still allow their wails to be their
problem. If you are struggling, this is good time to look at your
emotions and attempt to put them into words. If you have worries, get
up and write them all down. Get them outside yourself so you can look
at them more clearly instead of wrestling with them in your head.

This morning the Moon is
still in Scorpio finding Jupiter by conjunction at 9:33 AM EDT and
Neptune by trine just a half hour later. As you can tell, the
Jupiter/Neptune trine is now waxing strongly. This will perfect
shortly after Mercury turns direct on Sunday morning. Mercury turns
direct at midnight Sunday morning while Jupiter/Neptune perfects at
3:47 AM.
Now, as the Moon passes
through what we have potential for is a feeling of demotivation,
fatigue, dreaminess. It can be easily used for resting and relaxing
as well as dipping into the creative realms...art, music. But it
isn't really ambitious and operates best when you allow yourself to
flow from one thing to the next. Trying to force things is really not
a good way to go.
As the Jupiter/Neptune trine
continues to wax in, I have seen some illnesses which we also did
experience with the last trine between these two. So, make sure to
double down on keeping your physical barriers up and healthy. The
potential for illness can actually rise if you've been pushing
yourself to a frazzle under Mars retrograde. So, step back. Dip into
some self-care and restoration to help keep yourself healthy. And for
goodness sakes...wash your hands.
At 4:12 PM the Moon is
sextile Pluto in Capricorn. There is traction to be had here and the
ability to potentially manifest some of those “wild dreams” that
were developed under the Moon's passage through Jupiter/Neptune.
The rest of the night goes
down without much hiccup with the exception of two things. The Sun
meets Pluto by minor aspect at midnight. Then, we experience the
First Quarter Moon at 3:49 AM pitting the Moon in Scorpio against the
Sun in Leo.
So, what you may have is
shadow interplay or fear that wells up with Sun/Pluto. But, with the
Moon in Scorpio staring down the Sun in Leo most of what goes on here
is likely going to fill you in on your own shadow and what have you.
We might think it involves others. But the more important message
here is to check yourself first. While maintaining an ability to deal
effectively with your own fears or perceived short comings.
It does happen under the
cover of darkness. So, yes, there could be nightmares or late night
brain things that interrupt our sleep. Plus, First Quarters are
notorious for putting challenges in front of us that we must overcome
or resolve before we can fully meet our goals. It all goes sour when
we allow fear to stop us or rule us. Or when we allow ourselves to
become overly self-indulgent, greedy or short-sighted. To deal with
it best, all we have to do is face down and accept whatever is in
shadow and take one strong sturdy step forward to address the issue
that also aligns with our long term goals.
Tomorrow, we will get some
help with that as the Moon finds Mars in Capricorn by sextile at
midday. But, we kind of have to navigate the First Quarter challenge
before we get to that point.
Saturday, August 18, 2018
This morning we wake up with
lingering pressure following last night's First Quarter Moon. Yet,
that pressure CAN be managed as the Moon makes a sextile to planning
and diligent Mars in Capricorn. Feel challenged? Make a plan and do
something about it. Keep everything aligned with the “goal.”
We also have a secret little
nugget of help coming in here. Venus in Libra and Mercury Rx in Leo
meet by sextile. The brain and the heart are on the same page. Not
only does this bring the possibility of support and amicable
relations. But, there is also a chance for favors to be returned or
help to be offered. In the internal sphere, things line up nicely. In
the external sphere, friends, conversation and lightening up is a
very strong possibility.
Following the sextile with
Mars, the Moon is Void until entering Sagittarius just afternoon. So,
dig in and get some chores caught up in the early part of the day.
Then, reserve the evening time for the pleasure of your choice.
Getting out to explore and stretch your legs in the world is a good
thing to mark on the calendar for this evening.
It's been...rather chaotic
and challenging for over a month now. Go. Let the wind blow gently in
your hair a little. And, remember to take your sense of humor with
you. Mercury is stationing to turn direct and par for the course with
a station point there oculd be misunderstandings, mechanical things
that don't work right and maybe some tech or travel bumbles. But, the
worst is ending in that regard. This is just the station point and
things will settle fairly quickly. Don't take any of it too
seriously. Moon in Sagittarius will help with that.
The rest of the evening
rolls out without major aspect. At midnight, Mercury stations direct
officially. At 3:47 AM Jupiter trines Neptune and things likely get
very quiet as we approach Sunday. It's time for rest and relaxation
now more than production. Get you a good dose of that.
Sunday, August 19, 2018
Oh. If you can sleep in..do
so. Many will be prone to that without me even saying a thing this
morning. Jupiter trine Neptune sets us adrift on a very large sea.
At midday, the Moon will
trine Mercury (WHO IS NOW DIRECT!!) and sextile Venus adding a bit of
sweetness and entertainment to the day. Enjoy that. Alone or with
friends. It doesn't matter. This is a beautifully sweet set up that
is meant to be enjoyed.
By 7:12 PM, many are sleepy
or perhaps meeting with a bit of “OK, that was fun. But, I'm ready
for quiet time now” as the Moon squares off with Neptune. This
would be the point in the day when you have taken the kids to the
theme park and they've had a wonderful time but now they are tired
and grouchy or sick at their bellies from indulging in junk and
spending too much time on the tilt-a-whirl. You know? So, have fun
but pack it in early so you can get some rest ahead of Monday.
Speaking of Monday, the only
thing, really, that we have going on that day is a fire trine which
can busy but fun. So, yeah. Have a great and relaxing day and prepare
to have a little bit more outward fun activity tomorrow. Yup. Even on
Monday.
