Good morning, friends!
Well, today we have the Sun at 13° of Aquarius approaching a sextile to Chiron which will perfect on Monday, February 5, 2024. So, all weekend we have an opportunity building up for healing. The Sun is shining a light on areas we may feel are imperfect, vulnerable, or wounded, and brings warmth, nourishment, and the healing powers of sunlight to these places. If it is sunny where you are over the weekend, you could go outside and bask in the sun for a bit, imagining the healing properties of the light doing their magic.
The Moon is in Scorpio today and tomorrow and then ingresses into Sagittarius early Sunday morning.
Early this morning she formed an opposition to Jupiter in Taurus indicating needing to decide between something she desired and something she already had.
Later today, a little after 5 pm ET, she will perfect a sextile to Venus in Capricorn which means there will be an opportunity to use our resources to make something beautiful such as art, food, music, or other pleasantries.
At 6:17 pm ET, the Moon forms the closing square, the third quarter phase, to the Sun in Aquarius. The last quarter Moon is always a time to look at what you’ve got and decide what you can make with it. Instead of creating something new with new ingredients, like the First Quarter Moon, the Last Quarter Moon is about using what you already have and making something amazing from that! It reminds me of making a T-shirt quilt from all the T-shirts you’ve collected over the years; turning them into something else that outlives the “t-shirt” function and reimagines the function of the fabric. Not only does a T-shirt quilt turn something old into something new that has utility, but it also preserves memories, as each T-shirt often has a story attached to it. Also, this type of project ends up being passed down from generation to generation, creating a legacy of those memories and stories, which I feel is another sentiment of the Third Quarter phase of the Moon.
So, today could be a day when you reassess what you’ve done this month and take action with those resources. It’s about utilizing the skills, supplies, and energy you have to make the change(s) you want. You may be considering the future implications, the bigger picture, and how your decisions affect all involved.
Over the weekend, the Moon in Scorpio will oppose Uranus in Taurus, sextile both Mars and Mercury in Capricorn, and make a trine to Neptune in Pisces on Saturday—all of these transits speak to revolutionizing the way we feel about something and possibly having a spiritual experience or moment of enlightenment that drives our thoughts and actions forward.
Then on Sunday, the Moon will ingress into Sagittarius and form a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius and a square to Saturn in Pisces, representing the possibility for these profound new thoughts to crystallize into spiritual beliefs.
It’s like the way you might imagine the sudden stroke of genius for a musician like Mozart creating a piece of music—at first it’s an idea that he can’t shake and he has to start writing it down or playing it out on the piano and by the end of the weekend it has crystallized into a symphony to be played by millions, hundreds of years after his death.
Now, maybe not all of our experiences this weekend will be as grand, but you get the idea!
Let’s see what the cards have to say about today…
What is the guidance for today?
VI The Lovers-Miles and Keiko O’Brien
VI The Lovers represents a beautiful romantic relationship, open communication, and raw honesty. It can also represent having choices to make between what you believe, value, or desire and what you don’t.
As the guidance for the day, and probably the weekend too, I feel this means that we have a choice coming up to fall in love with something or someone that stirs the fires of curiosity within, making us feel glowy, inspired, and excited!
The Lovers card represents the zodiac sign Gemini, The Twins, and Gemini is all about experiencing life through the gathering of information. Gemini energy is very curious and playful and wants to experience everything at least once, just for the fun of it, because it is forever in awe of all levels of existence from the natural world to the astral, spiritual world.
The Lovers card, thus represents curiosity, playfulness, and a willingness to relate with others in every way to understand themselves and the world around them.
This card invites us to connect on a deep level with the parts of ourselves that are in awe of the world around us and to play with all of creation like a child plays with a puppy!
So, delight in connection, play games, make friends, and enjoy where the conversation leads you! Where you end up may be surprising and super fun!
This energy reminds me of the movie, Yes Man, with Jim Carrey. If you haven’t seen it, maybe this weekend is a good time to do so. It has a lot of Gemini energy!
I would love, as always, to hear your thoughts about the transits and the card for the day! (Please leave a comment, all may do so, remember!)
I hope this is helpful!
Until Monday,
AstroMommy
