Morning Star: Astrology for the week of October 1 to October 5, 2018

Image
Monday, October 1, 2018 As we wake up this morning, the Moon is Void in Gemini. She will reawaken in her home sign of Cancer at 2:01 PM EDT. The “feel” of the Void Moon will linger as we enter Monday. She became Void on Sunday following a passage by Neptune and Mercury as those two met by inconjunct. Hazy. Foggy. Confusing. We could feel tired and extra sensitive as the Moon lays Void in Gemini. Then, as she enters Cancer, of course the feelings come strongly to the surface for us to deal with. The first major aspect from the Moon in this day is a sextile to Uranus in Taurus at 4:30 PM. This supports us in being well grounded and practical while conducting ourselves in self-respectful ways which may not include accommodating the feelings of others. It also comes with the ability to detach from heavier emotions in an effort to observe them instead of being drowned by them. This sextile is followed by an opposition to Saturn in Capricorn later in the evening. That calls us from our poin...

Venus: What you need to know about our current sky

Image
Venus. She's saturating our world right now. You may not realize it. You may not feel it fully or do but don't recognize what it is. In the Astrology world, we have spent a whole lot of time this summer talking about Mars. And eclipses. Masculine and direct energies for the most part. You can have a passive personality type. You can be passive in your Mars exertions. If you are, the chance that Sun or Mars are influenced by Venus is fairly high. By house. By aspect. By sign. Something. Or Neptune. Or water of some kind. Venus was on my mind strongly yesterday morning. As it should be. The Moon in Taurus, Sun and Mercury in Libra. Much of Thursday answered to Venus. As will Friday (9/28). Thing about it being, not only does Venus rule these signs and would be relevant within this set up on any given day; however, in this mix up in our current sky she is also preparing to station retrograde on October 5 in the sign of Scorpio. whispergraphics on deviant art "Descent...

Full Moon in Aries: Nurturing the wild

Image
Aries is wild. Feral. A full moon in the sign, though absolutely glorious to look at, is particularly so. Visceral desire brimming at the surface. An absolute bursting forth of pure initiating from the gut and on instinct energy. A blaze of glory that only comes in Libra season. So, you know it's also going to be graceful and pretty. An indication that Autumn has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere as we kiss our hot “in the Sun” months goodbye while giving equal time to night and day for a bit. I'm not sorry. This is my favorite time of year. Our Full Moon tomorrow, though, does come in under some distress. Not that we are not accustomed to that. But, this is a bit different though connected to what we have dealt with over the summer. Venus now progresses further into her retrograde shadow. This is particularly relevant now that the Sun is in Libra as Venus holds rulership over that sign. Venus' square with Mars and the nodal axis and her opposition with Uranus are all now...

Morning Star: Astrology for the week of September 17 to September 23, 2018

Overview It seems to me that the majority of this week is occupied with brain activity. Mars in Air coming in for a third square to his current ruler, Uranus in Taurus, is indicative of busy brain as well as physical activity (9/18). It could even denote some weird weather. Mercury will also find the Sun by conjunction in Virgo (9/20) which is also a “weathery” nod. Then, when the Sun enters the Air sign of Libra he will also trine Mars keeping the brain and mouth engaged and active (9/23). There are hiccups, of course. Mercury will also oppose Chiron (9/22) and square Saturn (9/23) once he enters Libra. The Sun is, of course, right behind him by the end of the week ready to follow him through these aspects. Virgo season comes to a close on 9/22 as the Sun enters Libra under a Pisces Moon. The Sun in Libra will oppose Chiron on 9/23 leading up to our Full Moon in Aries on 9/24. The Full Moon is certainly in orb (falling at 2 degrees) of a Cardinal t-square with Saturn in Capricorn. Bu...

Morning Star: Astrology for the week of September 25 to September 30, 2017

Monday, September 25, 2017 This morning the Moon wakes up amicably but spends most of the day in harsh aspect to the rest of the sky from Sagittarius. Plus, Mercury in Virgo also squares Saturn in Sagittarius in our early morning hours. Mercury in Virgo is very precise. Very particular. But, he also speaks as a service. He thinks with an end goal in mind as he is results and solution oriented. I've also worked with enough Virgo's to know that this placement along with anything else in the sign can be harshly self-critical. Over-analyzing and picking apart self for the smallest thing. Then, allowing that self-berating to run over and spill on out into the world. With Mercury in Virgo square Saturn, we are given a chance to hone our communication skills. Use the power of our words. Be precise in the message we want to deliver. Or, even, solidify plans that we have only penciled into our agendas. On the lower end, you may feel negative. Have heavy thoughts. Feel as if something i...
