On Monday, the Moon is in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation. We are nourished/nurtured by what is simple/soothing/comfortable - a warm bed, a soft touch, good food, security, time spent in nature, time spent with what/who we value/love, all the good stuff money can buy and all the good stuff money can't.
The Moon's aspects are all over the place, so emotionally we could be, too.
With Mars perfecting his conjunction with Saturn TODAY, disagreements/entanglements/"no's" could seem to come out of nowhere. We've been talking about this energy for over a week. It's already in play, but exact now.
Do we want to fight - maybe win/maybe lose - or do we want to SUCCEED?
There is a difference between winning and being successful. And Mars beating Saturn in Aquarius, well, I'm not going to say, "this is impossible", well, yes, maybe I am, it's not going to happen. THE COOL HEAD SUCCEEDS. The one who can work WITH authority/rules and not against them succeeds. The fast, the passionate, the impulsive, the angry, the first, even the RIGHT (because 'right' is a subjective/personal thing almost always) - isn't who gets the brass ring.
The brass ring goes to whoever is already holding it.
Take responsibility for your actions, don't pass any bucks, because yes, we will be held accountable if we are not wearing our big girl pants or for prior times we left them at home in the laundry.
Be prepared. Get there early. The Moon will sextile Neptune at some point, but don't get all Pisces lazy. We have to do what we have to do now. I know I sound like a Nike commercial, but Nike was the daughter of Pallas (likely the wise co-ruler of Aquarius where all this is going down) and the Goddess of VICTORY.
If we are - Mars in Aquarius - fighting for a group/cause/liberation - we need to work within the rules of engagement. We can use the Moon/Neptune to make dreams/visions more practical or more compassionate. In a couple days the Moon will be in Gemini and more choices will present themselves. There is a way to stay true to yourself/your beliefs and not fail. Find it. When Mars meets Saturn, the important thing for Mars is to live to fight another day.
The humbling, the wound, yes, the narcissistic wound, which we all think someone else has and we don't (WE ALL DO), is where the light gets in, keep this in mind.
So, please don't screw this week up, OK
(and if we've already lived this and we've screwed this up, then we will face the consequences of that screwing up by standing on our feet, by doing better next time - this is a long game we are playing people, the battle is not the war).
We saw how this can all go down at last week's Oscars. Like every movie we've ever been to - we got a PREVIEW.
We had a teachable moment/a life lesson. Let's use it to our benefit. NO snide comments. Snide comments have started wars folks. NO passive aggressive eye rolls designed (even unconsciously) to light someone else's fire. NO, running off half-cocked, and destroying IN AN INSTANT what we have been building for a very long time.
Just do the work/do your job/take responsibility for your prior actions. This is Aquarius - DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
Keep in mind, Mars and Saturn are together - we are all really wanting the same thing anyway.
We also have Venus (in Aquarius) trining (brakes off) Black Moon Lilith today.
This might be a way through the Mars/Saturn, but feels dangerous to me, too, because BML, especially at the end of Gemini, is tricky stuff. But, since Venus rules the North Node (our best path forward) let's unpack this trine a little.
Venus is in Aquarius, has been in a Saturn sign/under his thumb since NOVEMBER, and is heading into Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, and joining Jupiter and Neptune in just DAYS. In Aquarius, Venus is attracting/is attracted to - the future, the new, the unusual. BML in Gemini is all about controversial female energy expressed through new choices/multiple outlets at the same time. These energies create an open portal/smooth trine. Fighting 'the man' - Mars/Saturn - isn't going to work. But Venus/BML pulls in unconventional allies, smart women, an ability to access energy that can keep things light/friendly/humorous (Gemini), that can take the edge off things/dial things down to a productive level. Allow new choices. Allow unusual things to be attractive. Since both Venus and BML are nearing the ends of their respective signs - there can be a kind of 'hail mary' play, THAT WORKS.
Think about Chris Rock post-slap.
Right back to business, but also keeping things light "well, this is the best night of television ever".
Such rich astrology to be part of people.
Thank the stars - the ones in the sky and the ones in California - for that.
xo all
