By the time we will all have woken up this morning, the Moon will have already made its transits to Saturn, Neptune, and Mercury, and will be heading over to oppose Pluto before going void of course, and then bursting into the sign of Leo by this afternoon!
Did you sleep well? I hope so! This morning could be a little bit introspective, as we try to figure out the deeper meaning of things and how to be comfortable with our emotions and our environment.
I spent the better half of this early morning pouring over charts and transits to my own natal chart, looking at past transits and upcoming ones, thoroughly fascinated by the cycles that I am in! I had to consciously pull myself away to write the horoscope! All I really wanted to do was to keep looking ahead and looking back, simultaneously. It was like looking both ways before you cross the street—which cars have passed and which ones are coming? Is it safe for me to cross? Will I make it if I time it just right?
I think we are all asking ourselves similar questions in our lives right now. We know and can feel deep inside ourselves that we have to cross the road of life—it’s time to go to the other side—but we have to check the traffic, make sure there are no cars or trucks coming that could crush us flat! And then when the traffic parts and that perfect moment when you know that if you walk at a certain pace, with a certain stride, you’re gonna make it appears, you take it. Once you commit to crossing that street, there’s no turning back!
And then when you get to the other side, that’s when the party begins! The Moon moves into Leo and you can celebrate with your friends, relax and have a fantastic barbecue! You made it and that IS something to celebrate!
This Mercury retrograde has been us, standing on the side of the road, unable to cross it, until now! Mercury goes DIRECT today!! Yay, finally! And we are now free to cross, but we must first choose the BEST moment to do so. And it is here, today. The party on the other side is anticipating our arrival. Are you going to take the first step and commit yourself to make the journey? Crossing to “the other side” in life, a place where you know you want to go?
Mars and Jupiter in Aries are giving you the courage! Venus in Taurus is showing you the value! Neptune in Pisces is giving you divine signals! Saturn doesn’t go retrograde for two more days, and he’s in his home sign and is dignified, he is telling you the time is now! Uranus in Taurus is saying, “I know things feel unstable right now, but it’s time to take a calculated risk.” Pluto in Capricorn is retrograde! It’s just about reflecting on the mountain you are climbing, the bigger picture of your life’s goals! Sun in Gemini is saying, “I know the truth of what you’re curious about and it’s over there!” Today is the day to cross the metaphorical street in your life and start a new chapter.
What an exciting day! And with the Moon moving into Leo by this afternoon, yay! We’re going to feel good if we took the initiative; we’ll feel bummed if we didn’t. Where in your life have you been hesitating to make the commitment and take the journey to a better life? Today you will have the courage. The choice is yours: stay in what feels comfortable but doesn’t excite you-or go where you are curious and the thrill of life fills you up! YOLO!
Good luck!
The card for today is:
XIV TEMPERANCE
The true alchemist!
“The point is …to unify and harmonize the opposites, both positive and negative, by discovering a ground which transcends and encompasses them both.”
-Ken Wilbur
Integration, synthesis, and synergy! In order to be a true alchemist in our own life, we must balance all the polarities—bring into union those which are opposites to create something brand new!
This card represents Sagittarius which,
“…reminds us it is through our life visions and dreams that we fully express the artistry of who we are as well as resolve any apparent conflict or opposition with our nature.”
(Angeles Arrien, The Tarot Handbook, 1987).
Today, practice integration and acceptance of all the facets of who you are. Through this synergy, you will artistically create a brand new element of yourself.
Be artistic today and let the creative expression flow freely through yourself! In honor of this concept of integration, make new combinations of art, either with mediums you normally wouldn’t mix, or symbolically. Explore and have fun being an artistic alchemist today!
I hope this was enlightening!
