Morning Star: Astrology for September 5 to September 7, 2018


Wednesday, September 5, 2018

This morning, the Sun, Moon and Neptune are all linked together. The sextile from the Moon in Cancer to the Sun in Virgo officially waxes in at 5:32 AM. The Sun is waxing into opposition with Neptune which is due to become exact on 9/7. However, the Moon will trine Neptune at about 9:30 AM. She will move forward to trine Jupiter in Scorpio at 1:56 PM. This all happens between 12 and 17 degrees of their respective signs. Meaning, we have a brief kite lit during this passage that mixes a water trine with Earth. The opposite of the Earth trine tipped by a Water point that will experience when Mercury enters Virgo later today. A second kite (Water trine tipped in Earth) is lit up briefly as the Moon opposes Pluto at 19 degrees Cap (3:42 PM). If you have planets between 12 and 19 degrees of Earth, you have direct access to this kite.


There are several different ways you can use this. But, let me see if I can boil it down to an essence for you. The Sun, Moon, Pluto, Neptune and Jupiter are the players here (along with any natal planets you have in orb). The Moon, Neptune and Jupiter make up the water trine offering intuition, imagination, depth, creativity, empathy and a little bit of a relaxed and subdued atmosphere. I like to think of a water trine as a running stream.The opposition of the Sun to Neptune, softens the critical edges of Virgo to a degree. Virgo is a mutable sign. So, it is adaptable. The opposition to Neptune makes it or more flexible and easy. The opposition of a body in Earth (whether the Sun, Pluto or a personal planet) gives the flowing stream of the water trine a channel to run in. Direction, boundary, containment is offered by the Earth. In order to to create your own channel with the Earth energy, it's easiest to just set an intention or a goal. If using Pluto to tap in, this is going to be a deep and very defined gully to channel the water trine. This can be long term goals set toward major change, employment of your personal power or even energetic cleanup work. The creativity and compassion from the water trine is then poured and directed to this “goal” (channeled into the gully). If you are using the Sun, then using the water trine's easy nature, you have a practical yet creative approach to use toward any issue you desire. I mean, in the most mundane sense, this is great for energetic clearances, house cleansings, meditation, public service/self-care especially since the Moon now still wanes. We are still releasing. Meaning, we could also use this kite with Pluto to release and absolve negative attachment which is a stellar act ahead of the Venus retrograde which occurs from Scorpio to Libra. If you are using a personal planet to tap in here, evaluate the nature of that planet. Dissolve “unsavory” expressions if you note them and use the water trine to reshape that. Allow your access planet (in Earth) to take the lead and use the water trine to help you flow toward your goals for that planet.


We will have more kites coming with different planetary/elemental involvement in the future. They offer wonderful protection in my experience. So, they are great for experimenting with. What's key is to remember that the trine involved is the smooth and easy energy running in the background regardless of the element the trine is in. The oppositional planet creates friction. The entirety of the trine's energy is “pointed” at the oppositional planet giving it a natural role of “leadership.” And the entirety of it involves conscious mixtures of the elements involved be that water/earth or fire/air. These will all be water/earth. Just as when you mix actual water and earth together, this gives us a type of creative “mud” so to speak. So, what we are doing is manifesting something new (reshaping, sculpting, defining) and dissolving harsh or rigid edges/rules with empathy, intuition and creativity. It does not have to be complicated. As a matter of fact, keeping your intentions and goals for the use of this energy simple is the best way to go. It is also not forceful. We are looking at approaching the thing with ease, flow, patience and gentleness. To envision sculpting, working on a pottery wheel or creating a channel for a land locked body of water (such as a lake or pond) to flow to are accurate energetic parallels. Give your creativity, compassion, intuition and this water the direction of your choice. Match these watery energies with common sense, grounding and practicality. Go sculpt out your dreams or flush out the rough edged chunks and debris from your energetic or physical sphere. Flow with a goal.
The Moon remains active through the night. At 10:39 PM, Mercury makes his official entrance into his home sign of Virgo. Then, overnight, Saturn turns direct in Capricorn. Both of these movements bring grounding, practical Earth energy, traction and grit.

Thursday, September 6, 2018

Saturn is officially direct this morning! It's time to plan to move forward a bit more easily. The Moon is still active in the sign of Cancer. She meets Venus in Libra by square at 6:20 AM and moves on to oppose Mars at the 29th degree of Capricorn at 8:44 AM before reaching Void status.

Both the square to Venus and the opposition to Mars are uncomfortable. What you have here is pitting home/family and personal matters against relationships/expectation of the “other” and activity in the external or productive world (work). This is a loose Cardinal Cross that finds outlet in Aries. So, the way it is best managed is to be properly assertive and to maintain a willingness to take charge of matters in your own life. Cardinal commandeers. So, you may have to step forward and make some executive decisions in response to this. It is brief. And, again, the Moon is Void by 8:44 AM. However, that 29th degree of Cardinal is a pretty crucial place. Plus, by 10 AM there is more fire/heat as the Moon enters Leo. The protection and uplifting energy of the kites of yesterday are gone. This morning will likely feel quite a bit more pressurized than Wednesday.
The mornings pressure continues under our Leo Moon. She meets Uranus by square at 1:30 PM. This can be felt as unsettling or anxious. But, it can be used to detach from things that may prevent us from feeling as if we can express ourselves fully. The Moon strongly wanes in Leo this go around. Release and purging are key efforts. The aspect to Uranus (while not necessarily comfortable) can also be used to energetically release blocks to your personal security and comfort as well as help you feel more liberated to be true to yourself as you release blocks to your personal expression as well.


At 6:45 PM the Moon finds the North Node by conjunction. We can delve into our own personal sense of creativity and intuitively feel what is the best direction to take toward our own futures. The pressure of the day begins to fade away as night falls. During those dark hours, Mercury in Virgo will trine both Uranus and Saturn (between 3:41 AM and 8:20 AM). This is the Earth trine that will create a kite with any planets that you have in the early degrees of water. Your water planet is the best access point. If you do not have the kite this is still a WONDERFUL energetic mix. It's dry. But, its stable. It allows us to figure out and talk about solutions based on previous experience and with common sense backed ingenuity. The Moon fills in only minor aspects as background noise and personal nuance as the night moves forward.

This morning, we wake under the secure envelopment of the Earth trine between Mercury, Saturn and Uranus. Then, the Moon remains in Leo making no major aspects until a square to Jupiter in Leo at 3:22 PM. Prior to that, the Sun officially opposes Neptune at 2:27 PM.
On the low end, this is straight up paranoia, uncertainty and perhaps some shady dealings. However, the practicality in the Earth trine can help offset that. The Sun in Virgo opposite Neptune can also be indicative of illness, lethargy, confusion about one's identity (or purposely veiled/obscured identity) or can even indicate veils dropping around who we think we are or who we are dealing with. So, self-care and physical boundaries need to be intact to manage this day appropriately.


For the Moon's square to Jupiter, what's key in that is perspective and an ability to maintain good humor and humility. Ensure you are not looking at things too closely or from too distant a view. Look at things from several angles zooming in and out as necessary. Gut check yourself for egocentric behavior and wave away the narcissists.
The Moon remains active through the night. But, she makes no major aspects. Sleep is likely deep and filled with dreams.
