In staring down our week to
come, I feel as if we all should be a little grateful that the Moon
is now waning. We won't be, most likely. The emotional body will
still be in turmoil. However, were the Moon waxing it would be a lot
more punctuated. Under a waning Moon as these emotional matters
emerge...and they most certainly will...we will be given a chance to
absolve and release. They won't erupt in a large crescendo. Instead,
we can purge them or reform them once they are accepted and
recognized. Today? Is a “lash yourself to the most deeply rooted
tree you can find and hold on” kind of day.
That being said, there are
some pretty significant shifts within the week too. In that, we begin
birthing bodies from the sign of Pisces. Mercury and Venus both enter
the sign of Aries this week. But, wow...are we EVER in the swamp
today. By the end of the week, we will be more than ready (and
astrologically backed) to break free from some of this. So, know the
ability to move forward and incorporate positive change in your life
is coming. But, the path we must traverse to get to that point? Is
muddy and foggy. What I'm finding is that most people are so swamped
they don't know how they are supposed to deal within their certain
situations. Truth is, in this week? There is not much doing that can
be done.
Things are happening in
folks' personal lives that they do not have much control over. We are
called to surrender more than we are called to fight. You cannot fist
fight Neptune. You can try. But, his waves will eventually wear you
down and are much stronger than you. Your best bet, is to let go the
rope and allow his waters to take you where they will. In faith.
Because, fighting where you are floating right now is going to
exacerbate the situation causing more frustration and zapping your
energy. While also potentially breaking down your defenses (physical
ones that keep you from getting sick).
This morning, we wake up
under a Libra Moon. She spends the morning being just fine. She can
maintain her facade and present a pleasant face regardless of what is
brewing inside her. And, there is certainly brewing underfoot.
The Sun meets Neptune by
conjunction at 8:54 AM. Due that, we are sensitive and emotional.
Something that Libra Moon does not like to show. The Sun/Neptune
conjunction could result in sleeping in late, a feeling of being
forgetful or confused, illness, being underestimated or a general
sense of uncertainty or fatigue. Perhaps a desire to isolate. Libra
wants to socialize and talk. But with the Sun drowning in Neptune,
that may not be the best route to take today. Especially given that
Mercury/Venus/Chiron make a triple conjunction as the Moon is
unsettled and possibly struggling with fear or control issues by way
of a square to Pluto. We feel like we need to control what is going
on. We may lash out to do so. But, those efforts will fall flat as
Mercury and Venus reveal to us the previously before hidden or denied
reasons behind why we have such a hard time letting lose of control.
Speech and how we receive and show appreciation is slain by pain. It
would be really easy to allow your own pain to inflict the same upon
others today...as if reacting like a wounded animal. The energy
passes but the damage inflicted may not. Key words...let go...let
go...let go.
What happens with the triple
conjunction, in my opinion, is likened to the rush of energies that
are released when a pregnant woman's water breaks. When that happens,
it IS unexpected and a flurry of activity likely ensues. But, it's
not like you can unbreak the water. You know? I know there are times
in which medical professionals break it for you. But, once it is done
by natural means or artificial it is done and any control you thought
you might have (because you've prepared, you've practiced, you've
packed your bags, etc) is absolutely washed away. Nature takes over
at this point and it is essentially out of your hands.
Plus, labor is painful. The
onset of such is often a quite rude awakening even if we know the
time for it is ripe and due to come. There is both excitement and
fear. But, the end result doesn't prove itself as the beautiful thing
it is until we pass through the woods of uncertainty and fear. Those
feelings do have a tendency to melt away and be replaced with a sense
of ecstatic joy once the new baby is safely here. That can overpower
some of the fears and pain we experienced during the birthing
process. In that process, though, we have to surrender.
Moon square Pluto does not
like surrender...at all. So our first response will likely be to lash
out trying to regain control over something. As that aspect wanes,
though, the triple conjunction is still in force. So it is the
surrender that wins this battle rather than fight til we are rendered
a bloody pulp.
The Moon moves on to be
inspired by Mars by sextile at 7 PM. We may find a little energy to
move and have inkling of grandiose action we can take in response.
But, the better bet is to NOT try to be a super hero. Instead, allow
the spark to help you regain a bit of dryness and perspective. Humbly
accept your call to surrender.
At 1:30 AM the Moon in Libra
opposes Uranus in Aries and there is a chance this can bring friction
between the concept of self and other. Cages can become rattled here
as the unexpected presents itself. If relationships are holding you
at a point where you are unable to bring yourself to full authentic
self-expression, this is where your patience ends. Effectively
balance your need for relationship against your right to freely and
authentically be who you are. The highest use, though, is to observe
what it is that emerges from the emotional body and then use the
power of Uranus to detach as needed. Emotional intelligence can be
raised here if we disallow ourselves from being overly “sucked”
in.
Following this opposition,
the Moon is rendered Void. Though, reaching Void in opposition to
Uranus, we could still find the night rather unsettled and not
conducive of a what is considered a good night's sleep. The stellium
in Pisces may be able to help with that. Just know that the best
supported action in this day aligns with realizing you have you no
control. Find and sink yourself in faith until the storm passes. Aim
to do the next right thing. You may not know each and every step you
will need to make moving forward. But, you can tell the difference
between right and self-supportive action versus ego driven action
that may in fact cause things to worsen. Ego melts today. Let it. Let
the dam break.
This small breeze of Air
coming from Moon in Libra leaves us tomorrow. We sink more deeply
into the waters as the Moon enters Scorpio at 8:24 AM Monday morning.
Self-care for today is the main call while not feeling obligated to
mask the fact that you need some time alone. Don't force yourself
into social situations if you don't feel like it. Many won't. It may
feel as if you are alone in how swamped and helpless you are feeling.
But, you aren't.

This morning the Moon enters
Scorpio. Most of the day is pretty broodish as folks are steeped
deeply in their personal situations. There is not likely to be much
chatter this morning.
The Moon makes no major
aspects within the meat of the day. So, the we swim these deep waters
and kind of get caught in our own “psychological” net of issues.
However, we DO stabilize as this day passes out.
The Moon sextiles Saturn at
about 10 PM and I heard a big sigh of “It is what it is” when I
looked at it. Very sober. But, also, very real. We move closer to
acceptance here and are ready to deal with it from a mature
perspective. And just in time. Overnight we begin birthing our Pisces
planets into the sign of Aries which points to the tides shifting
from a feeling of being trapped, swamped or stuck into a time
supportive of engagement or taking initiative.
Now, I said it is
coming...not that it is here and ready for you commandeer in the meat
of this day. We are still floating for the most part today. But, we
do regain some footing by the time the day ends and by morning, we
are more inclined to start thinking about moving ahead than staying
in this emotionally confused placed. Mercury officially enters Aries
at 2:35 AM tonight.
Tuesday, March 6, 2018
This morning we still have a
great deal of sensitivity but mentally, we are ready to move on. The
Moon meets Neptune by trine at about 10:30 which is dreamy and
imaginative but can also equate to more sensitivity (intuition is
definitely kicking) and even a feeling of a being emotionally hung
over. Be patient with this. There is nothing wrong with allowing
yourself to feel. You just don't want to torture yourself. Let
go..again, more than you try to hold on.
Around 2:30 PM the Moon
makes another water trine with the Sun in Pisces. There is a sense of
“knowing” that happens here that comes without explanation. It
trickles from the inside out. We accept the uncertainty but realize
we do still control how it is we respond to the situation.
Following this trine (in
which we may be able to find comfort in the company of fellow
“sufferers” in the form of commiseration) the heart is reborn.
Venus enters Aries at 6:46 PM. She, too, is ready to move forward.
Then, the Moon meets Pluto in Capricorn by sextile. There is a sense
of ease here. The emotional body is restored and the sense of
“knowing” deepens. Uncertainty begins to subside.
Overnight, the Moon meets
Jupiter in Scorpio meaning strong symbolism from active dreaming is
very likely. Keep your dream journal close to jot things down just in
case. This may also bring brightness to the affect in the morning.
Meaning, we wake up feeling a little better. The emotional body has
plenty of time to settle down a relax following this aspect at 3:58
AM. The Moon doesn't enter Sagittarius until 5 PM tomorrow. Trust me,
we will all likely appreciate the break of emotional activity so we
can refocus and recenter.
Today, gear your thinking
toward moving forward and letting go of the past. Still, be willing
to follow where the waters lead you. Support groups or commiseration
do help and getting some of what you feel off your chest in
discussions with trusted folks is a good way to go with that. Keep
letting go. Keep opening space, clearing away trash and sludge in
preparation for the new to enter.
When I was doing my Full
Moon write ups for this past Full Moon in Virgo, clearing the space
was a huge hit I kept encountering. The example I used was wanting a
new couch. Say, you are tired of your old one. It is worn out and
dilapidated and you are just ready for something new. One approach to
that would be to hold on to the old couch until have picked out a new
one and have the money to replace it. But, this energy suggests
differently. It says go ahead and get rid of what you no longer want
or what is no longer of use to you (remorse, regret, fear and worry
are included in that mix). Clean and sanctify the space. Trust that
it will be filled with what you want. But, don't hang on to the old
thing waiting for the new to arrive. Go ahead and get rid of it and
prepare the space in faith that it will be filled.

Thank goodness for Void
moons. Coming from this weekend and across the beginning of this
week, we will likely be ready for it. What the Void Moon will allow
us to do is catch up on some things that may have needed to be set
aside during our recent emotional flux. Emotional energy shrinks a
little. We are less emotionally reactive...though, still prone to
brood and seethe a little, maybe. But, the emotional reaction is
lessened. Subdued. Creative energy may also be harder to access and
for that reason “getting into” the chores ahead of us may be
difficult.
Usually what I see in a Void
Moon is that routine things kind of go as planned. Mundane tasks or
wrapping up loose ends on existing projects is accentuated. It's not
a good time to launch new projects because the spark of our
creativity just isn't into it today. But, a Void Moon in Scorpio is
excellent for “the big purge” clearing out and letting loose of
negative emotional attachment on the inside of you while also
clearing out space and purging in the physical world by way of the
body or within your personal space. We are dumping luggage at the
curb today. Taking out the trash and less prone to hold onto
something just because we feel a connection to it. And, that's what
we should do. Continually lighten our own load because that's exactly
how this day was built. Mostly, today is bent best toward “death
cleaning.” Purging. Getting rid of things. Clearing the
space..until the Moon clicks into Sagittarius.
As the Moon enters
Sagittarius, we are likely to feel a bit lighter. Any release we can
accomplish under the Scorpio Moon is only going to help with that. At
7 PM the Moon begins making fire trines. First with Venus and then
with Mercury (11:17 PM). We are gazing at the horizon ready to move
on. Perhaps even a little eagerly so. These fire trines do not and
will not continue to slay themselves with regret and remorse. It's
time to start moving forward. We will feel that.
This energy carries into our
tomorrow. So the momentum and desire to break free from heavier
emotions persists. Take advantage of that. Dry out. Think about where
you want to go from here. There is some heaviness coming back to us
that will remind of things we still need to purge in our efforts
moving forward but some of the swamp does, indeed, begin to break up
tonight. Then, when the more harsh aspects come in from the Moon on
the 8th, we can clear the sludge that remains flushing it
from our systems for good. The heaviness and “return of the swamp
of sensitivity” doesn't come about until late tomorrow evening. So
there is plenty of room to make progress and dry out before that
occurs.
Thursday, March 8, 2018
The fire energy calls us to
move forward and many will respond to that. It's a day in which we
feel as if we can actually begin to move. As night falls, though,
that's when the residual emotions present. Things we still need to
deal with come forth in the emotional body as the Moon squares
Neptune at 8:54 PM. If you need to purge through tears, do so.
Otherwise, it's a good day to burn off physical energy in the early
part and plan for an early night in which you can be quiet and kind
of off to yourself. Active in the morning and quiet and reflective in
the evening. That's how the flow of the day goes.
At 10:30 PM Jupiter stations
retrograde in Scorpio. Jupiter will
retrograde to 13 Scorpio 10 where he will turn direct on July 11. He
entered his retrograde shadow on December 11, 2017. We will review
the lessons he has taught since that day in December questioning our
own theories and riddling what it is we think we know. This ends our
period of “all planets direct” that has been strongly in force
since the beginning of the year. We have laid all the pavers we will
walk back and forth over in our year to come. Yes, there will be
chance to lay more pavers going forward. But, right now, we need to
look back on what it is we have built thus far and check it for
stability and longevity. Glean lessons from those times and
incorporate them into our growing sense of wisdom. Check your work
and your perspective.
Jupiter
retrograde is also excellent for paybacks. Meaning, if someone was of
assistance to you, you may be given the opportunity to help them
back. On that same note, if you were generous and kind to others
while Jupiter was direct, that is returned you too. It may not come
from the same source you gifted it to...sometimes it comes back from
the oddest places. What you've paid forward comes back to you for
better or worse. Jupiter Rx is also indicative of reviewing and
switching your own perspective on your previous journeys. We are
given a chance to re-script our outlook on things we have encountered
in the past. We can change our philosophy or direction. But, the main
thing is to look for what you learned from whatever happened
regardless of what that thing was or how it made you feel at the
time.
Jupiter
just happens to be the first planet to mark this “review” period.
Several other planets follow rather quickly. Mercury, as an example,
enters his retrograde shadow in Aries tomorrow. So many thoughts,
conversations and information received in the coming days is likely
to be revisited in the coming days. Decisions may be reversed.
Perspectives permanently altered. Minds changed...and then changed
again. If you have messages, letters, conversations you need to have,
written work to do or...even things like taxes to send out...I would
suggest getting that done before Mercury hits his shadow. Especially
if its something you want to send out and be done with. Otherwise, it
may become something that gets revisited several times during
Mercury's retrograde which colors in the next several weeks.
Mercury
officially turns retrograde on March 22 and turns direct on April 16.
Mercurial matters kicked off while he is in shadow will be reviewed.
For example, say you start writing a book tomorrow. You may have it
all ready by the time Mercury retrogrades. But, during that
retrograde is the time for editing and refining the finished product.
Then, when Mercury turns direct the finishing touches are made and
the project is ready to launch. The words solidified. Review isn't a
bad thing, really. We need to do this from time to time. However,
there are some things that we would like to have “one and done”
which in terms of Mercury, isn't going to be the case once he enters
his retrograde shadow. I'd suggest sending your taxes out before he
enters his shadow just as one example. That is surely not something
you want to have to revisit several times between now and April.

This
morning our Last Quarter Moon perfects at 6:21 AM. This is the week
of the “final flush” of this Moon phase. Keep lightening your
load. Keep releasing. Keep preparing and allowing yourself to think
in future terms.
You
are greatly supported by the Universe in that today. The Sagittarius
Moon is now freed from the swamp of Neptune and moves on from this
Last Quarter and then to make a conjunction with Mars and trine with
Uranus between 7:56 PM and 9:29 PM. While this is restless and not
really conducive to sleep, we may be able to accomplish quite a bit
after the fog of the morning wears off. We will not be in the mood to
feel swamped or stuck. Which is fine. This energy is meant to propel
us forward and that is where most will have their compass set anyway.
Following
the trine with Uranus, the Moon is Void until entering Capricorn at
4:53 AM tomorrow morning. Again, the emotional body rests after a day
of activity. We wake ready to roll our sleeves up and deal with
whatever business presents itself in our tomorrow. There will be some
conflict with our Moon and planets in Aries. But, it will can be
handled on solid ground without all this residual mush to gunk it all
up. Sobriety, a clear set of goals and maturity will be called for.

Our
brains meet with blockages today. Mercury waxes into square with
Saturn throughout. This aspect perfects in the early hours of
tomorrow. But with Moon in Capricorn hitting the aspect before it
perfects, it's going to be a factor most of the day.
The
early part of the day isn't horrible. We are sober and inclined
toward responsibility. It actually looks like a good weekend to do
home chores or firm up existing projects. A working weekend however
you want to shape that. But, the brain and the mouth are going to
feel curtailed. We can't say the right thing. We can't move forward
to where we want to be because there are several steps in the way
before we get to that place. We may shoot our mouths off only to get
shut down by authority later or we may be the one calling out overly
boisterous and childish voices. Either way the brain is locked in a
vice to some degree. And, any decisions we make are likely to
revisited in the future. Mercury will make a total of 3 passes to
Saturn in his retrograde pattern.
The
thing is this is not playtime. But, Venus and Mercury want it to be.
Which is fine except you have to get your work and your
responsibilities handled first. Today, is one of those taking care of
responsibilities days more than shirking them. Capricorn does find
time to play. But, work, social standing and responsibilities are
taken seriously. So, with that same attitude, buckle down and push as
much off your task list as you can. That's what is going to make you
feel better in the end. Otherwise it becomes a push and pull day in
which you feel largely shut down. Mark and reward your efforts to
progress no matter how the small a step you might make toward your
goals. If you don't feel like being productive, that's ok too! Taking
care of yourself is also your job. So if that's the case don't guilt
yourself over it. Rest and restore without guilt so that you move
forward when your emotional body is more stable.
There
are likely to be harsh and cold words delivered unto you, within the
collective or to you from yourself today. You may butt heads with
authority figures or encounter being told no several times. Work
within your boundaries. Keep a clear vision of where you want to go.
And, if you get sat down don't forget to dust off your pants and get
back up. We are called to be the wise father to our energetic inner
child today and being accountable is going to win out over throwing
childish hissy fits in response to not getting your way. Matter of
fact, those that veer toward the latter are going to be hurting
themselves more than advancing as a result of their tantrum. So dry
it up. Grow it up and get down to your own business today without
feeling as if you have to be so hard on yourself within that process.
The pressure of this will pass but not within the confines of this
day.

Today
is a totally different type of energy than what we felt yesterday.
The Moon is in Capricorn, still. But, she is done calling down Venus
and Mercury for their potentially irresponsible and selfish behavior.
Plus, the first Mercury square Saturn aspect now wanes allowing the
mental body to limber up.
The
big news? Mars finds Uranus by trine and the Sun sextiles Pluto in
Capricorn. We are so ready to break free from this pressure. We are
more willing to evoke change. We are more than ready to move forward
and there is not much that is going to stop us from that as a sense
of fearlessness and resilience dawns upon our solar body at the same
time. Do it or be damned...is kind of what I see here. So ensure you
are thoroughly thinking through the potential consequences of your
actions without rushing in impulsively or with a knee jerk reaction.
No need to shoot yourself in the foot...as the potential for that due
to unconscious reactive action comes swiftly as Mars moves on to
square Chiron (3/14).
Do
bravely embark on consciously moving forward using the power,
tenacity and grit from the Sun/Pluto sextile to empower you. If the
old ways aren't working, there is support in trying alternative
paths. If bridges need to be burned, the Universe hands you a match.
Just ensure these things are done with your own future best interests
in mind, support your end goals and take time to think about what you
are doing.
We
hit the ground running here. Make sure you point yourself in the
direction you want to go. Then...go! This energy is determined and
restless. Choose a beneficial outlet for it.
