The Moon continues her journey through Capricorn. After a tense square with a retrograde Mars at 11:15AM EDT, she makes good aspects for the rest of the day including a sextile to a retrograde Neptune, conjunctions with Jupiter and Pluto, a trine to Venus (this one right around the time of the final U.S. Presidential debate) and finally goes void off a conjunction to Saturn at 12:35AM EDT.
There is alot going on. We are focused on goals/responsibilities. The Moon is in her detriment in Capricorn and Cappy is a harsh taskmaster. He gets it done, but the Moon in Capricorn can make us feel over-responsible/too serious/like there are not enough cans in the cupboards or zeros in our bank account and afraid to put one thing to an end to move into something else. The energy is good for production though - getting things done, dealing with authority, stepping into our own.
If we are already depressed/pressured today can amp things up. Know this is transitory. This whole thing is.
It's like we are sitting in the theater and the movie has finished and the credits are rolling and we are still sitting there. And the guys come in to sweep out the theater because the show has finished and we raise our feet so they can sweep up our dropped popcorn kernels, but we are still sitting there. And we are not even sure why because was the movie really that great anyway? Do we really want to sit through the whole thing again?
(and doesn't watching the Presidential debates feel like we are watching the credits for a movie that has already finished?!)
The Sun enters Scorpio at 4PM EDT.
Scorpio is about deep intimacy and Scorpio is about passion. What are we passionate about? What makes us
excited? What makes us so angry we see red? What makes our heart thump
so hard in our chest that we fear explosion? Anything? Have we made any space for anything like this? And now the Sun is answering to a retrograde Mars (and Pluto), so that will be interesting.
Scorpio is the natural ruler of our 8th house - other people's resources/the resources we have merged with other people - our investments, debts, loans, mortgages, inheritances, spouse's salary, taxes, the ways we merge/share with other people, sex, reproduction (which doesn't always include sex now), banks, death, birth, power, transformation, karma.
It is the natural house of our shadows and taboos - all the stuff civil Libra, and polite society, doesn't want to talk about.
Scorpio wants to get to the bottom of things and isn't above just burning the whole thing down (its modern ruler is Pluto after all) to do so. This whole 'rising from the ashes' thing strengthens
Scorpio like the spaces metal has been welded or skin has been scarred. We will want to know people's motives/see what makes things tick. Scorpio likes to keep her secrets, but she is going to meet the Sun in a couple days - bringing to light the challenges ahead - and she is on a collision course (an opposition) with Uranus in Taurus at next week's Full Moon, so this 'secret keeping' thing is not so much happening. Truths will come out.
This is also the day Vesta moves into Virgo - maybe her favorite sign. And she will be in Virgo until, drum roll please, July of 2021! That's a really long time, and it looks like we will need it, to get our collective sh*t together. Virgo is about our daily activities, the way we make use of our time, our work, our service to others, our health, the way we organize ourselves, our paperwork, the ways we handle details, keep things clean. Vesta is focused and so is Virgo. This can be intense. We'll talk about this as we move through it.
Her first aspect - which sets this whole cycle off - is a trine to Black Moon Lilith in Taurus - moving past the shame of holding on to things/declaring what is ours/enjoying our physical senses without apology. With Black Moon Lilith in Taurus it can be hard to feel satisfied, hard to know when enough is enough. Vesta in Virgo can help with this - pare things down to the essentials, help us see what truly matters, what fires need to be kept burning or we freeze to death. And BML - plus the Sun's move into Scorpio - will crank things up for Vesta, bring the heat; the passion. With Vesta and BML meeting at 0 degrees we are working with these energies from the ground up. This is where we start.
(I think this Black Moon Lilith trine to Vesta in Virgo - Virgo ruling the service providing aspect of the police/first responders/health care people, etc - will help the Black Lives Matter movement connect better with this energy/pull the service aspect of this community into their own and Vesta in Virgo can help BLM clean things up, tighten up their focus over the next few months.)
