The Moon moved into fiery Aries while we slept (EDT) - now we are nurtured through our physical actions, our bodies, our passions, through men, by doing/starting/independence. She can be brave here, but sometimes too hasty. She opposes Venus at 5:32AM EDT (our actions/initiative/impulsiveness conflicting with fairness/beauty/balance maybe), then goes on to conjunct a retrograde Chiron while inconjunct the Scorpio Sun later today.
We are building toward Saturday's BIG Full Moon and today we reach this month's Waxing Inconjunct through the Scorpio Sun/Aries Moon (while the Moon sits with that retrograde Chiron). The Aries Moon is about some action/assertion that needs to happen - even though uncomfortable, it's more uncomfortable to ignore - before the Moon reaches its fullness. With the Sun in Scorpio this could have a Scorpian theme - merged monies, intimacy, obsession, manipulation, compulsion, life/death - or could be something we don't want to look at/confront. The stars say "confront we must" even through the inconjunct speaks of rocks and hard places. Old wounds triggered.
Our best way through this - Mercury retrograde (from 28 degrees Libra - keep in mind we are closing out October with Venus and Mercury bookending Libra - other people, our relationships, our sense of fairness/balance/beauty) is trining Ceres in Aquarius.
We had the first pass of this back at the end of September - multiple aspects this week are pulling us back there - so maybe an old issue needs to be talked about again, re-looked at, revised.
Ceres in Aquarius is dispassionate nurturing/not hover-mothering - we can keep conversations calm, loving but not controlling. We are encouraging independence/smart decisions. Maybe we, or someone else, is moving through challenging 'change-of-life' issues/situations that feel out of our/their control. Aquarius can be friendly because it's not overly attached, so the key here can be to emotionally detach ourselves a little bit and then have the conversation/share the information/listen (the Moon in independent Aries can help, too, just don't be too impulsive or insensitive).
Mercury is in good-natured and balanced Libra, so our words can be kind/fair.
With the Sun/Moon in the Scorpio/Aries inconjunct we might need to be brave, but we don't want to be manipulative/controlling/too defensive. Cooperative/collaborative conversations are favored. Know this isn't a final/final because Mercury is retrograde and the waxing inconjunct is about adjustments more than solutions. Sometimes adjustments are all we get. Sometimes adjustments are all we need.
We have so many planets in cardinal signs right now - wanting to START something AND we have two personal planets retrograde advising us to continue to re-vise/re-think/re-do. We might be antsy, situations can be stressful/frustrating/depressing. We just want to be done with them, but we aren't/can't be yet. Tomorrow the Moon in Aries is going to start squaring those Cappy planets, so will pull us into more challenging energy before the Moon gets into Taurus, where she is EXALTED on Friday evening (EDT).
October has been about a major transformation to restore balance and it still has one last trick up its sleeve ....
