Saturday, August 26, 2017 This morning, the Moon is active in Scorpio creating a square with Venus newly in Leo just before sunrise. Though this square is not the most comfortable of set ups, it is a rather mild influence. Most of the day is more about Mercury. This afternoon, the Moon plays with Mercury and our Mercury ruled Sun in Virgo by sextile. Meanwhile, the two wax into conjunction at 4:43 PM. What this energetic mixture delivers is the ability to deeply assess Mercurian and emotional matters. Plus, it delivers talent in the way of sussing out information, putting matters into priority, digging for clues/information or discovering more effective ways to communicate our emotions or fears. These two signs are not so talkative. Virgo likes to communicate in an effort to assist or provide service. Mindless chatter is not her forte. Scorpio's emotional intensity shies away from needless or pointless talk too. What I'm noticing most, though, on a widespread scale with Mercury...

Monday, August 14, 2017 This morning the Moon remains active in Taurus. At 2:43 AM, she is trine Mercury Rx in Virgo. This is practical and grounded. But, by sunrise she is sextile Neptune in Pisces. We are softened and delivered empathy and compassion. Perhaps a little relaxed or tired. The softened outlook does not last long, however, as the Moon and Mars butt heads at 10:31 AM. This is ambiguous pitting values against personal interests and agendas. There can be conflict here or even a deadlock as this occurs in fixed signs. An opportunity to ease the situation comes shortly later as the Moon sextiles her current ruler, Venus in Cancer at 10:50 AM. I want to say, “Cookies make everything better” and perhaps you reach for those under this sky. Yet, the true power found here is in gentleness, compassion, understanding and a growing concern for the welfare of folks other than ourselves or along with ourselves. It's very territorial and protective. Yet is also steady, safe and comfo...

Wednesday, August 9, 2017 It's the weirdest thing to me; but, it seems like things are unfurling both quickly and slowly. At the same time. As if time were this bendable thing but remaining out of our control. As if the tempo were being set by a drunk jester who sits back and laughs saying, “Watch, when I turn this dial the humans speed up. But, when I touch this one, they slow down.” Yes. It does occur to me that Mercury is in his retrograde shadow. It also dawns upon me that Uranus has just turned retrograde and that does have some bearing upon the “feeling” of time. However, what hits me about this more is that Mercury is edging into opposition with Neptune. No wonder the jester seems drunk. No? But, he will not perfect in this opposition until AFTER his retrograde is complete. Mercury turns Rx on August 12 th just one degree shy of creating that opposition with Neptune officially. That does not mean we won't feel it (Mercury/Neptune) as it does hold bearing in the energet...

For the Sun at 16 Leo: Refreshed by a storm, fields and gardens bask in the Sun. I love the feeling that this symbol represents. However, you don't get to that fresh revelation until after the storm. That must be weathered and faced first. Storms are symbolic of crisis. The water offers cleansing and we don't always get to cherry pick what gets to be “cleansed” and what remains untouched. We can, however, conduct and shelter ourselves in center of peace and protection until the storm passes allowing (as if we have a choice but to allow) it to strip and wash away both on the inside and out. It's scary going in especially when we are fearful of what can be lost. However, being reminded that all things and people can be lost to the storm in a blink of an eye can surely reorient us to what is truly important. For the Moon at 16 Aquarius: Business manager at his desk studies a complex project. This symbol calls for focus, thinking and concentration. All of which are really har...

Tuesday, August 1, 2017 Early this morning the Moon in Scorpio met Chiron by trine at 4:55 AM; then, Uranus by inconjunct. She is Void until entering Sagittarius at 8:02 AM. Her only major aspect is a square to Mercury in Virgo at 10:00 PM. In the meat of the day, she does make minor aspect (inconjunct) to Venus newly in Cancer while finding both Jupiter and Pluto by semi-square at 12:15 and 1:15 PM respectively. Semi-squares are a 45 degree aspect. It's interesting because this means that the Moon is passing through the midpoint of the waxing Jupiter/Pluto square due to perfect on August 4 th . With that, we will have some nuance in relation to that square trickling into the collective mood at midday. With the Moon in the sign of the Archer, ruled by Jupiter, it is a time in which deep truths could emerge thus leading us into the hard or strained discussions brought forth by the Lunar square to Mercury later in the day. The operative word here is truth and not insidious conflati...
