Morning Star: Astrology for the week of December 4 to December 8, 2017

Monday, December 4, 2017

Early this morning, our big beautiful Gemini Moon made a brilliant sextile with Uranus in Aries. This is good energy to wake up to. Indicating more dryness than under yesterday's sky and a bit of levity, as well. It's spry and alert.
The Moon remains busy for most of the morning until winding out her trek through Gemini with an opposition to both Mercury and Saturn between noon and 2 PM. There is also a trine with Mars in Libra just prior to the Saturn opposition. What this tells me is that there is likely a tendency toward chatter. Maybe even gossipy. But, if the communicative efforts are aimed to mislead or what have you, then the aspect to Mercury/Saturn from the Moon will...essentially...nail the person trying to spread the misinformation.

In the long view, what he have on tap under the remaining of this Gemini Moon should be aimed toward delay of action (Mars in Libra) until the information picture is more clear. Listen more than you speak though it is fine to discuss potentials with close friends. I would refrain from drawing hardline conclusions just yet. Mercury is only now beginning his retrograde. There is plenty to review. Chances are perspectives will flip as the details of continue to emerge. Be patient and allow that occur. But, also remain observant of what information you may catch wind of in this day.

The Moon is void for a little more than an hour. She enters Cancer at 3:38 PM. The rest of the night goes forth without major aspect from the Moon. However, Chiron, stumbles around in his orbit pattern and begins moving direct in Pisces at 3:22 AM. His station occurs on 24 degrees of Pisces. Let's look at both the sabian for 24 and 25 Pisces to get an inkling of what this elusive little dude is up to. Personally, I think that 24 and 25 degrees of every sign has a work out lately and needs to be given a rest. Hopefully, Chiron and Saturn moving on along will help with this. Of course, we still have Uranus lingering on that degree now too.
For 24 Pisces: In a tiny lost island men build happily their own world. Adaptability and inherent creativeness of man. Extreme of surety in self-expression. Centralization of supernal forces.

For Pisces 25: After drastic reforms, a purified clergy officiates anew. Ability periodically to cleanse from all selfish dross the channels for spiritual service. True Vision. Soul reformation.

Today looks hungry to me. There is a strong pull toward care giving and self-nurturing. Often from the sign of Cancer, this comes through by way of food.
We are groggy this morning as the Moon makes a dreamy trine with Neptune at 10 AM followed by another water trine with Jupiter in Scorpio a few minutes later. There is creativity and a call toward quiet affairs under that beautiful trine. Not to mention the fact that intuitive skills will be absolutely off the charts. Great time for divination efforts or getting better practiced with learning how to read your own intuitive hits, dreams or even reading symbolic language in general. However, it is definitely not loud and not necessarily overly physically active either.

As darkness falls Pluto stands at opposition to our Moon giving punctuation to our cravings and desires. The lowest end of this is emotional control efforts, manipulation and, even, potential abuse. But, the highest call has us bravely staring down and facing our demons and fears while giving us the backbone to snatch our control of self back from them. Though, it could catalyze a few nightmares. It could also turn up the sexual energy in your atmosphere. Whatever you crave, seek to satisfy those cravings in a safe and fulfilling way.

Mercury continues to back peddle and will meet with Saturn for a second time in the morning. Expect that the spoken word may seem like it has been stomped or even curtailed. But, again, what information that comes to you non-verbally and through the intuitive/emotional system bears more relevance within this day anyway. Listen less to the words and more to what your softer systems tell you about the message.

The curbing of the tongue energy continues into this morning as Mercury finds Saturn at 7:05 AM. This occurs at 28 degrees Sagittarius meaning just a hair click is all that is left for Saturn to be landing on the last degree of Sagittarius. However, Mercury is headed to 28, so let's have a look at that.

28 Sagittarius: Ancient bridge witnesses to the skill of forgotten men. Enduring elements in understanding as symbols of the community invisible to man, dead and living. Steady coordination.
The “community invisible to man.” This reinforces to me the need to delve into what is not being said more than listening to the actual words that may be used. Plus it pulls in ancient knowledge and wisdom deeply ingrained in the bones of humanity. What skills have atrophied as a result of increasing technologies? Many in my view. Our ability to effectively communicate with one another being one such atrophied talent. Sure, social media can send a message around the world in a blip of a second. Not that we ever give that much thought, really, to it. Plus, it's so easy to hide behind a screen in an attempt to just stir things up. So, maybe we should put more thought into effectiveness while weighing our own accountability in the use of words and this platform. You can't suck your words back in after they have been spoken. Once you put it out there in the digital world, there is surely no taking it back...and there is a word for word record from you (or in your name) that can come back and haunt you. Perhaps just shutting that whole dynamic today and thinking about what kind of stamp on the written time line you are personal leaving as well as assessing your motivations to do the same.
Seek truth. Know that truth is not likely to come “straight from the horses mouth” but more likely come from inside you as a result of hearing whatever crap the clacking heads are spinning today.

Whatever they are clacking is likely to be unsettling to some as the Moon squares Uranus just a few minutes after. There is restlessness with this and potential anxiety, can be (and is best used when) grounded out and directed toward experimenting with new things or even attempting to rise above any feelings of unwarranted urgency in the emotional sphere in an effort to observe instead of react.
At 11 AM EST Mercury Rx makes a busy trine with Mars in Libra. This could unhinge the jaw full force or just provide a bit more direction to our efforts. Either way, it's upbeat and mobile. Flipped appropriately and it could be fun. But, if you take info literally and at face value this morning and decide to run with it without checking it for accuracy, you might regret it. Use this to bring friends together amicably and to strengthen your social skills. Let the gossip run its course before you believe anything coming forth at this time.
At 1 PM the Moon squares Mars in Libra putting the concept of family/home at odds with partnerships and lovers. There is also ambiguity here. What we are expected to do is likely not lining up with what we personally need. Easy call there. You come first. Once your needs are met you may feel more like being social. Either way, don't place all your energetic emphasis on what you think others want you to do. Pull it in and focus on what you need at this time, instead. The Moon is Void following this square until entering Leo at 3:38 PM EST. Sounds like a good little window for a nap to me.

If we DO nap and allow the emotional waters and ambiguity run its course, it very well could pay off as Mars grows up some and is stabilized in his direction with a sextile to Saturn at 4:22 PM. We could grab traction after our brief restful Void Moon period (if we allow ourselves that).
Then, overnight, there is a super fiery trine between our Leo Moon and Venus in Sagittarius. Generous gifts to children or just coddling your inner child in safe restful sleep fit well.

We wake up a few hours following the playful Moon/Venus trine. By Noon, the Moon is square Jupiter in Scorpio and we could be at risk of blowing things a little out of proportion. Check that you have everything in proper perspective.

We end the day with another fire trine between the Sun and the Moon which provides a nice energy boost toward any project or physical effort you would like to aim it toward. It's nice and feels much less encumbered than the energy of previous days. This energy runs rampant into our tomorrow as fire trines light across the skies all day. So, pace your efforts and you might just be surprised at how much you can accomplish by Friday evening. Just don't put too much expectation there. No need to pressure yourself. Fire likes to play, laugh and have fun so ensure you pour that over your efforts. Or, just laugh and play and be light here. There is nothing wrong with merely romancing yourself, unleashing creativity and doing things that are good for you and your own mood. However, if you do need to make progress on something the sky this afternoon and into tomorrow will energetically support that.

Fire trine! Fire trine! Fire trine! Lots and lots of busy upbeat energy to be had. The Moon begins early with a trine to Uranus at 9 AM. This is followed by a second fire trine between the Moon and Mercury at Noon. THEN, there is a nice smooth, mature, traction filled trine with Saturn at about 4 PM. The Moon's last aspect is a motivated and fun loving sextile with Mars in Libra at 5:41 PM.
The Moon is Void after that for a brief half hour until jumping into more practical and Earthy Virgo at 6:10 PM EST.

It's relevant, I feel, to remember that the ruler of the Virgo Moon is retrograde. So we may be reviewing past “fixing” efforts or find that some of our more “duck tape engineered fixes” need a second look. We may be called to re-stack priorities or rethink what it is we think we already know. It's a little grumpier than Leo energy but task and service oriented.

The good news? This is our LAST day of dealing with Mars in Libra for awhile. Yes, he will hover on that 29th degree and potentially kick up some dust while there. But, at 4:00 AM tonight he leaves his unnatural position in Libra and enters one of the homes of his traditional rulership, Scorpio. There is a ton of difference between how the Scorpio warrior operates versus the Libra one. HUGE DIFFERENCE. Difference being, Mars in Libra will charm and maybe throw glitter at you but Scorpio Mars? Lol...does not play. So, expect to feel a shift in that regard. And...don't expect it to be subtle.
