Morning Star: Astrology for May 29 through June 2, 2017

Monday, May 29, 2017 Overnight, Mars completed his opposition to Saturn just prior to the Cancer Moon making an anxious square with Uranus. This all went down in a window of about 4 minutes between 2:56 AM EDT and 3:00 AM. We've been dealing with Mars waxing toward this opposition for while. I'm glad to see it come to an end. However, with the grand crescendo of that energy, the collective mood is nervous. It feels a lot like backdraft to me. Hopefully it passes without incident. Yet, I can't dismiss the possibility of some ugly anxious-making stuff. At 5:32 AM, the Moon makes a watery trine with Chiron and reaches Void status until entering Leo at 8:13 AM. The rest of the day, the Moon spends waxing through Leo working toward a sextile with our Gemini Sun which perfects tonight at 11:18 PM. We are prone to assessing personal effects and discussing it with friends. It does seem to get lighter following the release of pressures from Mars/Saturn. Tuesday, May 30, 2017 Our Fir...

Morning Star: Astrology for May 24 to May 28, 2017

Introduction There is a lot going on during the end of our week. First, we have the New Moon in Gemini dawning tomorrow. But, under the surface of that, we have the ongoing inconjunct from Jupiter and Neptune which (in my opinion) is being largely overlooked. However, that inconjunct becomes a bit more important over the next few days as a Yod will be created first by the Moon in Taurus and then again by Mercury in Taurus. Jupiter, of course, is stationing to turn direct. Therefore, his movements are very slow right now and his energy is greatly accentuated. In the sign of Libra, this calls forth the need to be fair and judicial when weighing out information ensure that you are assessing facts and not just rumor, emotional nuance or hearsay. It also leaves room in the courtroom for everyone to be heard before a final decision is ever made. With the inconjunct to Neptune, there are many possibilities. One that information drips with sentiment in an effort to be persuasive or manipulati...

Saturday, May 20, 2017 This morning we wake up with the Moon in Pisces leaving her overnight conjunction with Neptune and moving in to sextile Pluto. This could equate to a night of deep and restorative rest last night. On the low end, though, it could have been tearful or even caused nightmares. Yet, the sextile with Pluto is not harsh and could essentially bring emotional grounding and restoration...plus a bit more focus. By Noon, the Moon is square Mars in Gemini and motivations could be confused or scattered. This could also cause disagreements over what to do or just in general. Remember that the Moon is waning if you are having trouble setting priorities. This is a time to wind down tasks and clear out space over and above starting anything brand new. As you clear out space and wipe out your task list, begin to imagine all the things you can fill that Void with in the future as you contemplate your intentions for our incoming New Moon in Gemini on the 25 th . Also, with Moon squ...

Monday, May 15, 2017 Today looks rather stable for the most part. We wake up with the Moon in Capricorn in sextile to Neptune at 5:52 AM. It is industrious but willing to accommodate. The sensitive leader Moon that maintains a sense of compassion for those under his wing is a figurative representation of this Moon. This can be quite creative and empathic but remains grounded and purposefully driven. From here the Moon moves on to square Jupiter in Libra at 6:12 AM. Again, not a horrible aspect. It could amplify emotions or steer the mood toward being less dour. We may feel as if we have a lot on our plates. Yet, overall, it's fairly buoyant. The Moon continues through Capricorn passing over Mars in Gemini by inconjunct at 11:01 AM then sinks into a conjunction with Pluto at 4:25 PM. And, here's the thing about all that. Mars ventures into out of bounds status today. He goes rogue. Out of reach of the regulating body of the Sun. This is not rare. However, it does mark a period...

Thursday, May 11, 2017 The Moon in Scorpio is Void most of the morning. This gives the piqued emotionality of the Full Moon in Scorpio time to settle down. The pot simmers. The Moon reactivates in Sagittarius at 1:01 PM EDT. Just in time for Mars to officially find Neptune by square. The Moon is in fire but our fire planet is a little drunk. There could be a desire here to become more mobile by way of the Moon. However, physical energy could dissipate. Motivations could become confused. Or, folks could be tired or sick. Feel for the flow and follow that. Which means, if you find that physical energy is high...go with it and monopolize upon the high tide. If you are feeling tired and distracted, don't push yourself. Float on along. Whatever you feel, go with that. Don't kid yourself, though. The Full Moon was kind of exhausting. If you need to take a rest, don't shortchange yourself. Mars is headed out of bounds and toward a trine with Jupiter. There's a lot of potentia...
