Monday morning, the Venus-ruled Taurus Moon squares Venus in Aquarius with Aquarius Mars stalking a conjunction to Pluto (through Tuesday). If things feel dire, well of course they do. If this is the first time you’ve noticed this feeling recently, thoroughly examine your impulses against your values and sensibilities before acting (Mercury moving into conjunction with Venus through early Thursday).
I don’t say that lightly, but also don’t dismiss the role of your emotions as you examine the collective motives affecting your drive. Mars-Pluto in Aquarius might sound like an oxymoron, but humanitarian violence is a thing. Words are violence. Prejudice is violence. Examine your emotional dissonance as well as your cognitive dissonance. Transformation is violence.
Monday and Tuesday feature explosive violence, but what kind? The unexpected kind. The clever kind is also possible, a type of manipulation that twists expectations into a benefit. Also Monday, Neptune leaves its home for Marsy Aries, and the collective burns with connected compassion — and takes up a collective cause with invisible precision and power.
Later Monday, the Taurus Moon sextiles retro Jupiter in Moon-ruled Cancer. Earlier tensions are heightened and broadcast but may land brilliantly with a different audience, in a different light. Perspective brings opportunity.
Tuesday’s Taurus Moon conjoins retro Uranus in Taurus and sextiles Saturn in Pisces (and in orb of sextile to Neptune as well) as Mars-Pluto fills the air in its peaking crescendo. Exciting or anxiety producing? Find something to believe in or anchor to. That makes all the difference. Let it take you outside your personal concerns and accelerate alignment with the sensibilities of the moment. Is that a fancy way to say “snap out of it”? Mayyyybe, but it’s a fun way. Let the universe have your back. We’re better off that way whether it’s true or not. Anticipation should be savored, whether what follows is good or not. It’s the feeling of being alive in complicated times. Uncertainty also contains hope, and hope lifts spirits. Having wishes is evidence of hope.
The Moon moves to Mercury-ruled Gemini, perfecting its sextile to Neptune in Aries. Mars conjoins Pluto, then the Moon trines the two. Consider the origins, extrapolations, and extent of your values (Mercury-Venus continues), and act in the interest of humanity — or if not for humanity, for friendship and how you wish things could be. Don’t hesitate to have those conversations; you might be the one who sparks sense in others.
Overnight into Wednesday morning, the Gemini Moon trines the Aquarius Sun. It then goes on to trine the Mercury-Venus conjunction. Find your friends, exchange information and upgrade your experience. This is the only life you get: Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses. Or better yet, do that, then take the roses with you and share them. Seek out new sensual experiences that remind you how much you have in common with others. Elevate all that experience to the level of art.
In the night, the Moon sextiles Aries Chiron, and emotional or physical pain may be split into its various components and reordered into health in a flash. Reach out and grab it. That’s the power of the mind.
Early Thursday, Mercury glides over Venus in Aquarius, and the Gemini Moon squares Saturn. It may feel like losing mental/emotional momentum, but give it a moment, some time to catch up and fill in like medicated fog. The Moon moves to its own rulership in Cancer midday and perfects a square to Aries Neptune. Feeling a loss of control is normal, but that feeling can be useful. Control is an illusion, and just because the moon goes behind a cloud, doesn’t mean its pull disappears. The Moon goes on to quincunx Pluto and Mars, and the mood is malleable, but only if you put some effort into shaping it. It’s not going to sweeten up on its own, you know. Electrify the moment with some sexual magic. Or interpretive dance, that works too.
Friday’s Cancer Moon opposes Juno in Capricorn in the morning, moves through a quincunx to Venus and Mercury in the afternoon, then conjoins retro Jupiter by night. The week’s story is coming together; can you see it? Can you feel it? Again, throw yourself into the exercise of making things better by calling up your connection to your own and your collective and cultural sensibilities. When challenged to passion, challenged by passion, feeling deeply doesn’t have to be grim or overwhelming. It can be inspiring, elevating. Perspective and the bigger picture favor finding joy… not just stumbling across joy but really going on the hunt intellectually and in your heart.
The clues are there if you’re looking for them. If you choose to wallow, no one’s going to stop you, but why would you? If you’re not quite feeling it, stretch further.
