This morning I was inspired to take a look back at last month, particularly what was happening the last time the Moon conjoined Pluto, which will be happening again today at 2:40 pm Eastern.
Last month this conjunction happened in the morning and I woke up contemplating life and death, not an unusual thought for Moon conjunct Pluto, in my opinion, but this morning I woke up thinking about love and relationships.
Early this morning something else in the heavens was going on…After the Sun made a trine to Saturn around 3 am, Venus and the Moon made a trine, shortly followed by Venus and the North Node conjoining in Taurus. Venus is the planet of love and relationships, beauty, the senses, and money…it’s no wonder I woke up contemplating my relationships today!
Specifically, I was thinking about my marriage. Wondering if we are headed in the right direction? Are we nurturing the relationship? And I was also thinking about money and asking the same questions: are we heading in the right direction? Are we giving our finances attention and care?
These questions may come up for you today as well. Take a look at your relationships be they romantic, familial, business, or with friends, and check their vitals: take their temperature, check their pulse, and measure their blood pressure, so to speak. Does everything look good? Are there adjustments that could be made to your diet or lifestyle that could improve their numbers? How are your finances? Is everything on track or are there things you need to do to make them healthier?
The Sun in Gemini will make an exact square to Neptune in Pisces this morning at 9:41 am ET. This could have a blurring effect, making it feel like you can’t see clearly. There could be a metaphorical banana peel in your path today that you might slip and fall on because you just can’t see it there! It’s like you’re in a super surreal dream, looking around, thinking, “Where are my glasses? Where are my glasses?” but, then you realize you don’t normally wear glasses. This is all just so disorienting and unusual, it’s just not clear—it’s cloudy—in a fog. You start to feel lost, nothing makes sense…
During this square, the Moon will be quincunx to the Sun and sextile to Neptune—it could feel frustrating not knowing exactly which direction you’re going or not fully being able to see the path in front of you. “Where the hell is the path?!!!”
Sun square Neptune can also be a time of loss, especially of solar figures in your life or in the world. Solar figures in mundane astrology include Presidents, Kings, and Queens, Prime Ministers, father figures, authority figures, judges, or prominent and influential people in society. And with the closely separating trine to Saturn that the Sun just made—this could signify ease with which the constraints are released and the souls are able to let go.
By the early evening, the Moon will enter Aquarius and be headed for a trine with Mercury at 2 degrees Gemini. Last month, when the Moon entered Aquarius, she made a trine to Mercury at 1 degree Gemini, but Mercury was moving retrograde! Now, she will be making that same aspect, but Mercury has the agency to act—now that it’s direct! Mercury is also the planet with the most essential dignity right now, making it the strongest planet, by tonight.
Moon in Aquarius trine Mercury DIRECT in Gemini may feel great! It may feel like the lines of communication, the thoughts, and the mental abilities are running smoothly and efficiently!
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
Moon in Aquarius loves to integrate and network with clubs, groups, co-operatives, or any type of humanitarian project or pursuit, and with this trine to Mercury, we could feel like all the mental blocks are removed and information, communication, and knowledge are allowed to flow unhindered. “The fog is gone! I see you, stupid banana peel and I’m NOT going to step on you!”
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day~I Can See Clearly Now—Song by Jimmy Cliff (Full lyrics at the bottom)
This energy will be interesting after a day of Moon trine Venus, Sun square Neptune, and Moon conjunct Pluto…some heavy stuff could be happening in our lives…so the usual detached energy of Moon in Aquarius trine Mercury in Gemini feels like maybe we will all be trying to logically think through and come up with genius solutions for whatever it is we’re going through.
I’m curious how the energy of today plays out for you!
Okie Dokie, onto the card for the day…
The Card for the Day is:
Door to the Akashic Records—Reversed
I have to include the exact interpretation for this card from the little book that comes with the deck because it is just too funny…
“The Akashic Records contain the entire cosmic drama in all its dimensions, including the future and the past. The records are available to the psyche of the reader and various portions of them can be tapped. For further information, please consult the head librarian located somewhere in the main library.” [1]
“Consult the main librarian…” Ha ha ha, that’s good. But since this card came up reversed, I think it means that this transit today, Sun square Neptune, may feel like we’re supposed to get some major cosmic divine download from the Universe, but maybe we’re not. We need to watch out for the spell that Neptune likes to cast and be immune to its effects. By using our minds in a logical and systematic way we can figure out if the messages we are getting are real and based in reality or if they are propaganda, pushing some sort of agenda today. The, “main librarian,” could be your inner wisdom, the Universe, God, or whatever or whomever you feel will give you the undiluted truth. Don’t “drink the Kool-Aid today.”
I hope this was helpful.
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy
