The Moon is in Libra now - we are nourished/nurtured through other people, our relationships, peace, beauty, symmetry, bringing things into balance. She trined ruler Venus at 2:35AM EDT, squared Mars at 3:50AM EDT, trines Mercury at 11:59AM EDT and finally goes void off a square to Pluto at 5:36PM EDT. She will be void until 11:00PM EDT when she dives into Scorpio. With Venus in Gemini, the squares can bring disagreements/unwelcome information. The trine to Mercury is good for light, social conversations and interactions.
This is also the day Vesta squares the North and South Nodes from her perch in Virgo (third of three).
This is that problem/needed fix we have been dealing with since the end of December. Once again we are reminded via tension/frustration we need to fix it or forget it (if it can't be fixed).
This is standing in the way of our North Node journey forward/some mess from the past that won't be ignored. This is our last passage through here with Vesta in Virgo's devotion to the details. If it can be fixed - fix it. Virgo is small/steady actions - one step leads to the next. It's fix it or stay fixed in place in this God-awful no man's land. If we are too invested in something that can't be fixed/up at night stressing out/planted our ladder against the wrong wall - this is the time to end this situation.
Happening at the same time Saturn is stationing retrograde (and Mercury, ruler of Virgo and Vesta is answering to him/her will station next week) pulls Saturn into our Vesta story and Vesta into Saturn's. We are backing up folks.
From the weekly:
Generally the best use of Saturn retrogrades is going back over structural issues.
Re-considering our commitments. Re-thinking our responsibilities.
Re-assessing our goals and ambitions. Re-defining our boundaries.
Re-valuing our time. Re-structuring our projects. Sometimes we get to
see what is holding us up because it isn't holding us up anymore. Dad is
on vacation folks. Some situations will halt/reverse course temporarily. Rules/limits/sometimes responsibilities can ease up.
What happens for us personally depends on our natal chart and our relationship with Saturn. If we have planets/points between 13 degrees Aquarius and 6 degrees Aquarius, (add a couple degrees on either side) we will feel his retrograde strongest. The ease-up thing is probably not happening for these folks. This can also apply to planets/points in the other fixed signs as he squares and opposes them. If we were born with Saturn retrograde, and so the need to face up to certain responsibilities in this lifetime that we, or our ancestors - think patriarchal line here - have previously avoided, we will likely feel his retrogrades more intensely, too.
For everyone else and for all of us collectively Saturn's station will either:
1. ease restrictions/limits/traditions (daddy's on vacation) or
2. create delays/pull back support (again, daddy's on vacation).
It just depends on which kind of "daddy" we have via our natal chart. Saturn retrogrades give us a second chance to get it right. Wherever Saturn goes, so does our time and commitment. When planets are retrograde, more of the work becomes internal. He will station direct on October 10th and then - it's full steam ahead/report card time.
Back with the weekly!
