Good morning, friends!
I am feeling great this morning, despite having a bit of a headache! How about you? The sun is shining, there’s a beautiful blue sky, and there is a lot of growth outside in my garden!
There are also a lot of weeds…
Like I said in the 5-day Weekly forecast for this week, we will be metaphorically pulling the weeds out of our gardens this week, or if you have a real garden, then you may be literally pulling the weeds.
I also, have to watch out for these little guys…
But, the Moon is moving into Capricorn today at 2:38 PM ET, so I should feel a boost in energy to get some of this stuff done.
When the Moon is in Capricorn it’s a great time to be a boss and take care of the things that matter most for running the “business” of our lives. If you know how to make decisions, then today will be a breeze. If you’re wishy-washy and lack the business acumen needed to tend to finances, plan, and execute decisions, then this may be a more challenging time.
The Sun in Leo is making a trine to Chiron in Aries while starting to square Uranus and the Nodes of the Moon. This could feel like a renewed sense of purpose as we stand on the precipice of some wild and crazy idea.
With Venus and Pluto in opposition today (perfecting by 1:17 am ET tomorrow) we could feel that in order for something new to come in, something has to die or be pulled out (like the weeds in my garden) to make room.
My teacher, Acyuta-bhava Das, offered an interesting insight in his recent video about this transit. He said that we may realize that we like something that may be considered weird, or taboo, and this transit may inspire us to share this odd thing with the world and that’s okay (as long as it’s not violent or against the law, right!).
This transit is an opposition, though, so I would caution that one may not want to shout it out to the world if it is something that you may be embarrassed about later—so don’t go posting about it on Social Media just yet! I think the main message is to love and accept yourself for who you are, even if it doesn’t fit into what society wants you to be, or says is okay to like.
I experienced this last night. My husband and I were talking before bed about odd foodstuff because we had just eaten Red Velvet cake, for our son’s birthday earlier in the day. He brought up that the red dye in the cake is actually made from bugs! And I replied, “Well, vanilla flavoring is made from beaver butt glands, too!”
And it reminded me of Acyuta’s insidght about self-acceptance and self-love.
So, yep, I may like beaver butt…If I’ve ever actually tasted it. The chances that I have smelled it in my cosmetics or perfume are higher, apparently. Either way, it’s okay and I love and accept myself.
The card for the day is:
17 The Star
This card represents inspiration, insight, and understanding. Feeling mentally and physically healthy and being open to a new life, ideas, or concepts. The bright star above, represents divine guidance.
This card also represents self-confidence, self-esteem, self-sufficency, and talent that is recognized by others.
When we have confidence in ourselves we can fully radiate and express who we are, and The Star within can shine freely. When we trust ourselves, we can see more clearly and be more spontaneous with our feelings.
I guess this is about having confidence in our ability to handle whatever obstacles or headaches that life throws our way, be them weeds, spiders, or pests in our gardens. Also, loving ourselves even if we like weird or unpopular things.
As always, I hope this horoscope and card reading are helpful!
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy
