Good morning, friends!
Well, I hope you had a good weekend! Did you get a chuckle out of the Horary I cast about the fake Keanu Reeves substack account? If not, you can check it out here. It was a good example of a really simple Horary question and answer. If you have a Horary question that you’d like answered, all you have to do is send me the question and $10 and I will answer it within 24-48 hours via email—the details are on my Book A Reading page. And if you’ve never given Horary astrology a try, I invite you to ask a question at this low price and see if you like it! In the future I plan on raising my price, but for now, it’s $10/question.
I hope you are enjoying the audio of the newsletter and if you’d like to support this feature, please upgrade your subscription or make a donation. With donations from you, I was able to purchase a new microphone that hopefully will improve the audio quality, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, but was not able to until now. Thank you very much for making that possible. As soon as the new microphone arrives, I will begin to use it and will let you know so that you all can tell me if it makes a noticeable difference.
We had a really nice weekend celebrating my youngest Astro-Baby’s birthday. She turned five years old on Saturday and all day Sunday I could hear her chanting, “I’m five years old!” LOL, it was so cute!
Okay, let’s get into…the astrology
Today’s Transits
(All times are in Eastern Time unless mentioned otherwise)
Late last night at 12:54 am Mercury in Leo formed a quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn retrograde representing a change or a separation from an old structure or an old way of doing things that no longer serves you. Hard truths may have come up that you had to face and they were uncomfortable—truths about communicating from your heart. Something you wanted to say may have felt odd, old, or outdated. Or you could’ve received news that you didn’t want to accept. Perhaps you found out that something you were trying to fix was not actually fixable, or maybe someone blocked you because you called them out on their superficiality.
Early in the morning at 2:50 am Mercury ingressed into Virgo and this is where we will get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Communications will be precise and to the point. There will be a lot of attention to detail during the next three weeks that Mercury is in his home sign of Virgo and we can use this to our advantage. Do tasks that require this level of scrutiny because now is the time when they will be easier to get done. If you need to catalog something, do it now. If you need to add hundreds of hyperlinks to a document, the next three weeks are the best time to do it. Whatever paperwork is sitting on your desk, now is the time to deal with it and file it, shred it, or toss it. If you have an organizing project that you’ve been wanting to tackle, now is the time, baby! Do you need to sign some important documents? Sign them now. Use this time to get organized and cross those T’s and dot those I’s. Mercury in Virgo is a great archetype to accomplish all those little things that we need to do to enable everything else to run smoothly.
Mercury in Virgo can also be pretty critical, so do your best, but don’t stress yourself out! Better done than perfect and remember Tpyos Happen to the best of us, LOL! You can get your mug here.
Tpyos Happen Mugs by AstroMommy
At 7:58 am the Moon in Scorpio (she entered Scorpio over the weekend) opposed Uranus in Taurus retrograde meaning that something unexpected may throw a wrench into your plans today that could make life really tense. Perhaps a child is acting out or sick. Maybe something breaks or is having issues. The opposition provides us with an experience where we will have to decide how to react. With the Moon in Scorpio, we may be emotional, moody, suspicious, intense, focused, or picking up on hidden truths. Do your research, stay organized, and do your best to roll with life’s ups and downs today, as Uranus always likes to keep us on our toes!
By mid-morning at 10:30 am the Scorpio Moon will make a semisquare to Venus in Libra indicating that we would love some peace and harmony, but it is hard to come by today because of the Uranian surprise. We may feel a little bit shaky and thrown off. Do your best to relax and roll with it, tomorrow will be a slightly easier day when the Moon makes her sextile to Venus.
At 11:07 am the Moon in Scorpio perfects a trine to Neptune in Pisces retrograde and this could feel like a soothing warm soak in a hot tub. Perhaps you’ve been feeling stressed as of late and you really could use some rest and relaxation, well, this transit provides just that. Submerse yourself in the calming waters of Neptune’s connection to art, music, beauty, dreams, and spirituality, and allow yourself some much-needed downtime.
In the afternoon at 1:11 pm the Scorpio Moon will form a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn retrograde which means that today there are opportunities to explore your deep feelings associated with survival and your resources by using a focused and penetrative approach. You want to get to the bottom of what you are feeling and explore it deeply because you are open to healing, growth, and learning.
At 1:25 pm the Moon leaves the intense, emotional, and obsessive sign of Scorpio and enters the optimistic, hopeful, and truth-seeking sign of Sagittarius. I always love it when the Moon is in Sagittarius because everything feels a bit lighter and brighter. We are able to gain a broader perspective and see into the future with the Moon in Sagittarius. We may feel more inspired, adventurous, and explorative. We may aim our arrows of intention to shores further away because we believe we can get there. We have unwavering faith in the world, humanity, and ourselves.
The Sagittarius Moon will first make a square to Mercury in Virgo at 2:49 pm and then a quincunx to Mars in Cancer at 7:27 pm.
Moon square Mercury can be a bit hard in that it represents arguments, disagreements, and squabbles and this may be over the details versus the grand plan. The Moon in Sagittarius wants to explore the story, showcasing the plot, the characters, and the adventures they will go on, and Mercury in Virgo is focused on the grammar, the punctuation, and the order of scenes that develop the main characters. All are important, so if these two energies can figure out a way to work together, then a lot can get accomplished.
The square is said to be the energy of Mars and as such represents taking action, things moving along, and manifesting. So, I feel that this means that things will happen today that move us along on our path. Both Sagittarius and Virgo are mutable energies that come right before a big seasonal shift, Virgo precedes the Fall Equinox and Sagittarius comes before the Winter Solstice, so we are in transition, making changes, edits, and corrections, doing our best to keep the big picture in mind and staying optimistic and hopeful.
The Sagittarius Moon in a quincunx to Mars in Cancer means that we may be acting from an emotional space and we may have to step back a bit in order to make collaborative negotiations with others. With the square to Mercury we are talking to people, going places, and encountering an exchange of ideas, the quincunx to Mars suggests that something doesn’t align perfectly with our underlying emotions and this could make us feel like complaining. Do your best to find the silver lining or the hopeful belief that can carry you through this temporary discomfort.
