Okay, let’s get into…the astrology
Well, the Moon in Pisces today has a hard reality check ahead of her as she will conjoin Saturn later tonight which always feels a bit stifling, in my opinion.
Early this morning Mars in Aries perfected a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius which represents the god of war and aggression hanging out with the god of the underworld plotting grand schemes. Mwuah! Ha! Ha! *cheeky grin. The sextile represents a harmonious friendship between planets or at least both wanting to cooperate with each other and since Mars is in his home sign of Aries, he is feeling really good right now! People may get the go-ahead on a progressive project, scientific study, or military strategy. In our personal lives, this may feel like taking action on something you’ve been wanting to do that you feel will really make a positive change and it may involve digging something up, cutting something off, or taking something out and replacing it. This could be a subconscious program that you decide you do not need to run anymore.
The Moon in Pisces will form a sextile to the Sun in Taurus at 1:54 pm ET which again speaks of harmony, ease, and friendship. This is like mom and dad getting along and working together toward a common goal today, painting the house or weeding the garden, something like that. Something that makes things more aesthetically pleasing and improves the worth and value of the home or environment.
Things get serious tonight when the Pisces Moon conjoins Saturn at 7:04 pm ET indicating austere feelings, isolation, or reality-check moments. It could also be an interaction or conversation with a wise elder that has an impact on you emotionally.
Just 21 minutes later, the Moon applies to semisquare Pluto at 7:25 pm ET, which is like a false spring, where the plants are fooled into thinking it’s springtime and they bloom only to be frozen the next day in a frost. Change is about to take place and then suddenly stops or is halted for some reason and the metamorphosis doesn’t quite happen…yet. Deep feelings surge up to your throat like a burp filled with vomit, but then you swallow them back down, deciding to wait for another opportunity to let them out.
Right after this, the Sun makes a semisquare to Neptune at 7:50 pm ET, and again there is friction and delay but this time it is because of some ideal we had or a perfect vision that can’t be fulfilled…yet.
We end the evening with the Moon in Pisces perfecting a semisextile to Mercury in Aries at 10:17 pm. Normally, I would say that these two planets don’t see each other because they are in adjacent signs, but I have found that adjacent signs that straddle either the solstice or equinox points share an antiscial or contra-antisical relationship and thus their semisextile does show up as an event, but it is really subtle1. In the case of the Moon and Merucry, this represents a conversation that you wanted to have but decided to not have, or this could indicate wanting to purchase something but deciding not to, or a meeting with someone that ends up just not happening. It is an opportunity for something but for some reason, it doesn’t happen. There just isn’t enough motivation to make it happen or to seize the opportunity. Everyone says “sure,” but no one takes the next step and you feel like it takes too much effort to move forward, so the thing falls flat.
Let’s see what the cards have to say…
What is the guidance for today?
