Today is extreme. As I am looking at the transits today, I am asking myself, “What would be the most helpful thing to talk about that will help everyone get through the day?” The week, really!
And, to be honest, I’m not sure…
The Moon is in her detriment in Capricorn, so although we feel like taking a look at the books, making solid plans, and repairing things that are broken, we could feel a lot of stress—we may not have the power that we need to take action.
The Sun is forming a trine to Saturn and a square to Neptune, both exact tomorrow, but this energy is spilling over us and could be sucking us down into the depths of despair, worry, doubt, and disillusion, like quicksand. We could feel very lost or easily triggered, emotionally.
The Moon will also be squaring everything in Aries: Jupiter, and Mars and Chiron, which are conjunct today, exactly. Stress, stress, and more stress as we try to take action on things that we want in our lives, but feel deflated, debilitated, and angry about it all. Tensions and tempers could flare up due to this. We feel like at any moment we could snap and the levy, the solid resolve we’ve been holding up until this point, could break and the emotions come flooding out, dissolving any sense of stability we thought we had.
As I said, today is extreme.
How can I help you today? What would be the most helpful thing to discuss? How can I help myself get through this too, to be honest.
I just don’t know, so I am going to cast a Horary chart, asking just that…
What should we be focusing on today that would make us happier?
A Horary chart is a chart that is cast for the moment of the question and is read in a very different way than a natal or transit chart.
So, with this question, we are going to be focusing on the Moon which rules our emotions. Where would the Moon feel the happiest today?
In her own sign and the sign where she is exalted: Cancer and Taurus, respectively. In this Horary chart, Taurus rules the 11th house cusp and Cancer rules the 12th. This gives us insight into what would make us feel better today.
The 11th house is all about our hopes, dreams, wishes, and our friends, and in this chart is ruled by Taurus where the Moon is exalted and feels like an esteemed guest!
With everything that is going on astrologically, we may feel like aligning with a group that reflects our own nature and values in order to feel safe and secure. This is ok and may feel very comforting to want to hang out with others that share the same worldview as yourself.
Another way for this energy to help us is to go out into nature and enjoy using all our senses! This activity could help us get in touch with our hopes and dreams in a simple, natural way. Go on a picnic, a hike, or just take a walk and connect with the oneness of the Universe through nature. Alone or with friends, this could feel very grounding today.
The 12th house is about our spirituality, our self-sabotaging or self-undoing behavior, and hidden enemies— and in this chart—is ruled by Cancer where the Moon is at home. Cancer is all about nurturing oneself and others. Creating a loving, healing, and welcoming environment where everyone feels taken care of. This means that today, in order to feel the best, we must care for ourselves in the deepest most spiritual way possible, completely releasing all the crap that we are throwing at ourselves that may be self-sabotaging. If you are religious or spiritual this is where you pray; fill yourself up with light, ask for forgiveness and guidance, and let go of all the negative stuff that is weighing you down. A Cancerian way to do this may be to make sure that your basic needs are all met today—feed and bathe yourself—and do it in a ceremonial, protective way.
The 11th and 12th houses rule the calves and ankles, and the feet…take a special interest in these areas today and ritualistically wash your calves, ankles, and feet…as if you are bathing in the absolutions of the Universe’s unconditional love.
This last suggestion may sound a little woo-woo, but it is what keeps coming into my mind that we should do…so, make of it what you will, do it or not, just know that today is a day to absolve yourself of your doubts and fears and visualize the unconditional love of the Universe holding you like a mother holds a baby. Be the Universe’s baby today, and let her hold you. I don’t know how else to say it. This is what I am getting…
Let’s pick a Goddess amulet for today:
The Snake—Shedding Fear, Renewing Hope
The snake just keeps coming up…we are in a state of transformation, change, and letting go of the old ways to make room for the new ways. The Serpent Goddess Amulet reminds us that we carry the wisdom of the Serpent within. We are fierce and fearless in the face of transformation!
We are facing the addictions we have in life: to substances, emotional behaviors and programs, outcomes, etc…with courage and commitment and being completely “awake” through the process. “You have journeyed to the center of your soul, confronted the “Death Goddess” and wiggled yourself back into the arms of the Great Mother for renewal.”[1]
This is such a powerful omen—the snake—we are all in a state of transformation and it’s deep.
*For those of you who are interested, I have included some pictures of Snake Goddesses from the book that comes with this amulet set at the bottom of the newsletter. Enjoy.*

Use your creative thoughts to take action today in a creative way that helps you harness the Neptunian/Sun energy in a positive way—letting the divine light shine through you! Bask in the sunshine of your creativity and be a light in the dark for others to lock onto as they come up from the depths of being asleep and “waking up.” Be like a lighthouse. A lighthouse does not fear shining its light and showing the way towards shore, a lighthouse just is. The truth just is what it is. Creatively tell the truth today.
