Okay, let’s get into…the astrology
Today the Moon conjoined the South Node in Libra early in the morning at 6:44 am ET. This just also happens to be the same degree where the Moon enters the Via Combusta, a span of the zodiac from 15°Libra to 15°Scorpio that is said to be a perilous place for the Moon. Her trip through the Via Combusta is going to be just a bit harder this month than normal because the Moon is making several oppositions during this time. In fact, the Moon just made several oppositions when she was in Virgo over the weekend to Saturn, Mars, and Neptune in Pisces; and now she will make oppositions to everything in Aries, starting with Mercury retrograde, then Chiron, and then Venus. Once she is in Scorpio tomorrow, she will first square Pluto (ouch!) and then oppose the Sun for the Full Moon, which is always a time of the month when the energy hits a peak point. After the Full Moon, she will continue her trip through Scorpio and oppose Uranus and Jupiter on Thursday, the same day that Mercury stations direct right on top of the North Node!
All of these oppositions between the Moon and ALL of the planets, except for Pluto whom she will square, represent a major turning point where we may find ourselves emotionally at odds with everything and everyone and feel as if we have to make several decisions, one after the other. It could feel extremely liberating, like howling at the Full Moon, or it could feel very challenging like we are cutting several cords all at once.
Today the Moon will oppose Mercury retrograde in Aries, then Chiron, and finally Venus, starting at 8:09 am ET and going until 7:23 pm ET. So, we may be making decisions about our plans, conversations, environments, values, relationships, and plans for healing. It is interesting having Earth Day during all of these oppositions today because the Moon is on the same side as the Earth, who is also opposing all of these planets, and it’s as if the people are on Earth’s side, supporting and backing her up. I think that’s kind of a nice visual to remember today as you do whatever you are going to do to celebrate the holiday. My kids and I are going to finally start planting seeds in the garden! We are behind schedule but better late than never!
Sprinkled throughout the day are several quincunxes from the Moon to Saturn, then Uranus, then Jupiter, and finally to Mars. The Moon quincunx Saturn is like observing a rule or a law that just doesn’t make much sense for you right now; you may abide by it or you may not. The Moon’s quincunxes to Jupiter/Uranus and Mars re-invigorate their recent sextiles (almost forming a YOD, a “finger of fate,” but it’s a little too loose). It’s as if the Moon is just getting wind of what Jupiter/Uranus and Mars agreed upon and decided to do together and now she is having to process this new information and it may be out of her comfort zone or make the scales go one way more than the other, which can be unnerving to the Libran archetype who strives to keep things in harmony, balance, and peace.
Let’s see what the cards have to say…
