Okay, let’s get into… the astrology
The Moon is still in Pisces today but will be making some hard aspects, and so things could get a little bit more exciting, emotional, or dramatic. First, she is making some harmonious aspects to the Nodes, so we could wake up feeling connected and in sync with our lives. Then she makes a sextile to Uranus, so we may get a brilliant insight into something, or a wild idea that we feel is dreamy and cool and a perfect addition to our awesome sauce.
By the late evening, she will square Mars and by late tonight, early tomorrow morning, conjoin Neptune at 23 degrees of Pisces. This is where it could get iffy. This is where those health concerns I talked about yesterday could become a reality. The Moon in mundane astrology represents the people. Mars is a hot and dry planet, like a fever, and Neptune is like a toilet bowl, sucking our energy down in a spiral—I wouldn’t be surprised to hear in the news about new waves of illness, death, or freak accidents, especially ones that involved someone being intoxicated.
Mars and Neptune are getting really close to perfecting their square. Remember yesterday, when I discussed some of the possible manifestations of Mars square Neptune being people literally just losing their shit and behaving in really strange and dangerous ways?
Well here is a news story headline that fits that bill: Texas teen arrested for storming into hospital nursery, strangling two newborns and attacking staff
This is an absolutely horrifying article and is not for the faint of heart, but it’s crazy stuff like this that we are going to see more of during this long transit.
The song, Psycho Killer, by the Talking Heads comes to mind!
The Sun in Libra makes an opposition to Chiron in Aries today at 6:48 am ET. This transit may inspire us to think differently about our emotional, physical, or spiritual wounds and feel that we have to accept certain fates, or crappy parts of our life, in order to keep the peace.
Memories may come up that grab your attention and it may be time to work on healing past hurts. Just because you’ve been running a certain program doesn’t mean you have to perpetually run that same program if it’s not bringing you happiness.
So, this could be when the scales tip in one direction or the other, as you become aware of what these compromises that you’ve been making in your life are, and whether or not it serves you to keep making them.
Mercury in Virgo made a trine with Pluto late last night, and we are still in the grips of this transit, and will be until Mercury’s ingress into Libra on October 10, 2022. Once again, this is where we share our secrets—just this morning I told my husband that I actually don’t care for my eggs to be cooked in olive oil, something he’s been doing for me for years! But, this energy gave me the courage to boldly state it and not worry if he was going to take offense to it or not. He thanked me for finally telling him!
So, this transit could bring up things like that, finally telling someone the truth about something as mundane as your oil preference or it could be revealing something much more serious. We most definitely will hear crazy secrets being revealed in the news, like hidden motivations, “real” plans, or unbelievable agendas that might rock us back a bit. Or we may hear about theories that we thought were conspiracy theories turn out to be true.
Another headline this morning reads:
The Real Story Behind The 1897 Aurora Incident: When A UFO Destroyed A Windmill (msn.com)
Now, I’m not here to debate whether or not UFOs are real or fake, it is up to you, dear reader, to use your own critical thinking skills and to do the ‘Mars in Gemini’ and ‘Mercury in Virgo’ thing of collecting the data, looking at the evidence objectively, and making an informed decision. It may end up being a little bit like Neo in The Matrix after he’s taken the blue pill—the truth may seem unbelievable, but the truth will set you free!
Let’s move on to the card for the day:
What is the guidance from the Universe for today?
52 Void of Course Moon--Missing
On this card we see the moon, with the heavens behind her, a brilliant finger of light shooting down (or up?) behind her, as well.
The Void of Course Moon is a card that symbolizes a time of waiting. Susan Sheppard, the author of this deck describes this astrological aspect beautifully in the guidebook, “The moon travels through the entire zodiac in twenty-seven and a half days. There is a moment when the moon makes its last major aspect before leaving one sign and entering the next. It’s as if the moon has gone to sleep. Her wisdom is being withheld until she moves into the new sign and the moon begins a new chapter or story.” (Sheppard, 2017)
So, this is a time of waiting. It’s not a good time to take action on things, for they may go wrong, or worse. It could be a good time to dream and write out plans, just don’t execute them until the timing feels absolutely right.
It could also indicate a time when people seem asleep, out of sorts, or like they are not paying attention. It may signify cancelations and delays due to the weather, or the feeling like we are lost in the Twilight Zone or some weird movie.
This card says the best thing to do is to wait until the energy shifts and then take action. Maybe today is a day for that: waiting.
The next Void of Course Moon— in real life— will be Saturday, October 8, 2022, between 7:08 am and 11:56 am ET—when the Moon makes her final major aspect in Pisces, which is a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn, and then is Void of Course until her ingress into Aries—a new chapter begins! Pluto stations direct tomorrow at 5:55 pm ET.
Whenever Pluto stations retrograde or direct, I always hear the line spoken by Samuel L. Jackson, from Jurassic Park:
“Hold onto your butts…”
Let me know if this reading resonates with you, in the comments!
