Morning Star: Astrology for September 11 to September 15, 2017

Image
Monday, September 11, 2017 This morning, the Moon is considered Void as she works her way through the last bit of Taurus while creating a Yod with Jupiter and Saturn in our early morning hours. Saturn is an assured player in our week to come. Venus in Leo will meet him by trine tomorrow evening. The Sun in Virgo will meet him by square on the 13 th . Of course, the Moon will oppose him from Gemini, as well. At 3:30 PM, the Moon does leave Taurus and re-activate in Gemini. Her first aspect is a harsh square to her current ruler, Mercury in Virgo (5:55 PM). The clutch between these two is finding usefulness in conversation. Gemini can chatter incessantly. Mercury in Virgo wants to know the point. By giving conversations an end point, a problem to solve, then Gemini's curiosity and willingness to learn comes in handy. But, if you've ever tried to fix something with someone standing over your shoulder chattering about nonsense and asking ten million questions, then you know how thi...

Morning Star: Astrology for September 9 to September 10, 2017

Image
Saturday, September 9, 2017 Today we wake under the dark and ominous cloud that is Pluto. Venus in Leo is inconjunct the Dark Lord early (3:20 AM) and the Sun perfects in trine to Pluto at 6:41 AM EDT. And, as if that weren't enough, we are further jolted by the Moon's conjunction to Uranus 8:55 AM. Then, the Moon trines Mercury in Leo from the 29 th degree of both respective signs at 11:53 AM. From here the Moon is Void until entering Taurus a half hour later. Basically, the chaos of the morning and the previous days, sets the tone...well...exacerbates it, really. Then, as the Moon enters Taurus, stuff starts getting very “real.” Her first aspect is a trine to Mars in Virgo. The high end of that energy has us doing what? Sitting back and blaming people for stuff? Turning everything into a religious or political battle? Slicing and dicing others apart? No. The high end of this says, “Get your shit together and quit being a pedantic ass. Do something helpful or get out of the w...

Morning Star: Astrology for September 4 to September September 8, 2017

Image
Monday, September 4, 2017 This morning, we begin on stable footing as the Moon in Aquarius meets Saturn in Sagittarius by sextile at 9:05 AM. The day continually improves as the Moon trines Jupiter and then sextiles Uranus carrying us from 11 AM to 11 PM under an air of buoyancy, accountability, ingenuity and dare I say...even a bit of lightness brought forth by way of communal support. Later, tonight, the Moon will oppose Mercury and Mars as the Sun in Virgo perfects in opposition to Neptune. This all occurs between 10:34 PM and 1:30 AM tonight. Following the Moon's opposition with Mars at 1:17 AM, she is Void until entering Pisces at 1:30 AM. When we wake in the morning, Mars will have left Leo and entered Virgo. Calls to duty become focused on clean up, service, harvest and fixing. Plus, at 7:21 AM in the morning, Mercury completes his turn-about and officially stations direct. Decisions and perspective may do an about face and we may notice a few hiccups in the Mercurian realm...

Dealing with Mars and Uranus by transit

Image
*This is a re-post. You may notice aspects/dates mentioned that do not apply. However, the tips for dealing with Mars/Uranus are always the same no matter what the rest of the sky is up to.  What you may notice is a lot of nervous energy. In that, it could be hard to sit still. If you have any desk work that you can get out of the way today so that you can spend tomorrow being active, that will really help. I also advise that you cut your caffeine and stimulant intake drastically by noon today. The reason for that is it may be hard to get to sleep tonight. Any type of nervous energy producing thing will have an increased effect. Of course, you have to bear in mind there how these things normally effect you. If you have an idiosyncratic response, such as stimulating substances make you sleepy, that may occur too. It is also entirely possible, if you are prone to such things, that your energy levels may actually be really LOW during this passage of the Moon. If you regularly sleep d...

Morning Star: Astrology for September 1 to September 3, 2017

Friday, September 1, 2017 If you are reading this, pat yourself on the back. You have officially survived August! Of course, some of the energy from August will follow us into the first of September reactivating our most recent eclipse point. Today, the Moon resides in Capricorn. We find her softened by sextile to Neptune as the Sun rises. This does increase sensitivity and could make getting started this morning a slow and relaxed affair. Listening to your favorite tunes while working can help you keep pace and aid production. The sky grows more intense as the day moves forward, however. By 2:29 PM the Moon is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn which could cause fear and paranoia to grow. Or, there could be attempts at emotional manipulation or control as well. The best use of this is focus. Pinpointing the shadowy fears that may usurp us from fulfilling our goals while being given the fortitude to face down those fears as they are recognized. At midnight, the Moon squares Jupiter in Libr...

Morning Star: Astrology for the end of August 2017

Image
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...
