Weekend Astrology Forecast for Creatives | have some waffles while waffling, deconstruction, an adventure maybe followed by a hangover

The life cycle of a waffle by sandas04

I wrote about this weekend's aspects in the weekly HERE but let's take a look at the Moons, too.

On FRIDAY morning the waning Moon (in Sagittarius) will square Neptune (in Pisces). Energy focused on releasing time-worn and thread-bare (and yes, I have always wanted to write timeworn and threadbare!) situations/materials would be time well-spent.

We will face less obstacles helping along whatever needs to be "de-constructed" than we will building something new now.

If something/someone maybe a situation/bad habit needs to be weaned - this is a good aspect for that.

Dissolving is easier than holding stuff together today. But, I said that already.

Compassion, forgiveness, healing, imagination, meditation are all favored activities. Our boundaries will be leaky. The morning's energy could lead to foggy thinking so this is not a good time to make an important decision.

By mid afternoon - around 3:30PM EST - the Moon will sextile (opportunity) Mercury in futuristic and humanitarian Aquarius. This would be great for an inspiring brain storming session. A good time to take action toward our Sagittarius or Aquarius goals regarding communications, promotion, politics, weddings. media, group projects, internet projects, travel, foreign or legal issues.

On SATURDAY, the Moon is void most of the day (11:38AM EST through 9:21PM EST) - this is not a good time to start something new (if you want something to come of it) but with the Moon's last aspect a trine to unpredictable Uranus it is good energy for embracing change and trying something else.

It's Saturday - a day to explore! People will not want to be tied down. The Void Moon coupled with Uranus tells us to keep plans flexible.

Venus will ingress into Pisces (see the weekly for more info) until March 5th. A good use of the next month would be to push ourselves to create a new imaginative project every day. Imagination not given some kind of 'form' could ooze off in unintended directions (this can be a good thing, but can also create alot of ooze to clean up later).

Coloring pages would be a good idea before more practical left-brained activities or writing a page every day or taking a photo everyday. Of course, if you are already doing this stuff you are going to have to really pump it up!

There is no way to control our Venus when she is answering to Neptune (ruler of Pisces) - it is best to give her some intentional time - art, meditation, time spent in or near water, healing work, imagination - so our Venusian resources - love, money, our values and self-esteem are not as subject to Neptune's 'drifting away' tendencies. Of course these things can drift in as easily as out, but then after they drift in they usually drift right back out again!

Our intuition will be heightened now. We will be more attractive to and have a greater relationship (Venus) with our 12 house blind-spots and whatever we have put away and don't want to look at - keep this in mind. Addiction/escapist tendencies can increase. Back-burnered creative projects (and the stuff we used to love) can move to the front burner now, at least for awhile. Boundaries thin, we become more porous. We will be looking at other people, particularly within partnerships, through a more rose-colored, idealistic lens. Keep this in mind.

On SUNDAY, the Moon in Capricorn conjuncting Saturn in the morning will focus us on more practical, traditional matters. Time will feel precious or pressured. We could be naturally more guarded and reserved. Some alone time will be a good idea for many people. Serious issues will seem even more serious. Whatever we can do today to contribute to a more solid base (whatever those words mean to you) would be a good use of our time. Call your dad.

Jupiter (in Scorpio) squares the Sun (in Aquarius) at 18 degrees. I write about this in the weekly HERE in relation to that issue from the 4th - this is also a time for assessments of character that can lead to success. Our egos are tested. Avoid taking on too much.

We will gather the facts together knowing we are in between eclipses and we don't know what we don't know. Yes, we are waffling now because it is a time for waffling and actually it's Sunday so maybe a time for waffles while waffling - it is not a time for firm decisions.Yes to waffles. No to jumping into things unless we are tethered to a rope and the rope has been tested for durability like they used to test those suitcases in the Samsonite luggage commercials and the knot on that rope has been tied by a sailor with 20 years experience and his 2.5 magnifying lenses. And even then ....

With so many planets in Aquarius, Jupiter aspecting the Sun, Venus moving into her exaltation in Pisces, Mars conjuncting the star Antares at the very heart of the Scorpian (the sign Mars co-rules) - there is alot happening in the build-up toward the February 15th New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius conjunct Mercury and Juno (so yes, they are getting eclipsed, too!).

Extreme events can happen in between eclipses and not everything in our pan will turn out to be gold flakes. We will talk about this more next week.

That Cappy Moon will continue on Monday morning so be ready to get to work!

xo all - enjoy your weekend!

Last Quarter Moon, Venus Sextile Uranus | point of contention, take a few steps back, attracted to something different

msr by siyahtapot

Today we have our Last Quarter Square Moon - a point of contention/crisis - this month pitting the Scorpio Moon (going deep/diving in) against the Aquarius Sun (detachment/stepping back) at 18 degrees.

It is time to take a few steps back from whatever we have been soaking ourselves in since the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of January 31st. There is nothing more to be gained from diving into the murky waters at this time - let's come up for air.

Keep in mind - this isn't a regular Last Quarter Square - we are in between eclipses. There isn't a way to see the complete picture from the position we are presently in. Somebody else's big head is blocking the movie screen. We don't know what we don't know. Maybe other things, involving other people/situations, have to fall into (or out of) place first.

For us to have greater clarity at the New Moon Solar Eclipse on February 15th - we need to give the situation some space now.

Coming at the same time that Venus (in Aquarius at 25 degrees) sextiles Uranus (in Aries at 25 degrees) it is probably a good time to turn our attention to something different. We will be attracted to something else. A new and unusual person/situation could find us attractive (magnetic), too.

The opportunity (sextile) comes from something new and future focused. This is good energy to interact with people you wouldn't normally meet/talk to.

This can be a big thing, but it doesn't have to be. Change something today. Experience something else.

And take a step back from the drama.

xo all

After we get through the next eclipse and into the next cycle - which I can't see clearly astrologically from here either - this is Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, we are talking about - we are making it up as we go along! - our collective Aquarius South Node story intensifies over the next six months.

This should lead to something for each of us, and something shared, revolving around "moving away from detachment and alienation". Releasing the kind of "out of touch with reality" PTSD world that living online and absorbing information 24/7 is creating.

Our nervous systems (Aquarius ruler Uranus) are saturated - we are shell-shocked from a world struggling to keep up with our expansion.

We can't stand on the sidelines (or sit in front of a screen) for fear of standing out or because we have been too numbed out to care anymore. We can't live in 'echo chambers' only able to communicate rationally with the people who agree with us and expect the future to look like anything other than a dystopian nightmare.

Through next autumn the way forward will be - yes, I am going to say this AGAIN - our heartfelt LEO energy (then we will move into Cancer and coming home).

Leo (and the house of our Sun) is the space in our natal chart we are naturally meant to SHINE.

Ruled by the Sun, this is the energy of our heart and our mission.

So, we honor those Aquarian wounds - the times we didn't fit in, the times we were persecuted for being ourselves/standing out, the ways we didn't shine for fear our light was not bright enough, for fear no one would notice (there is a reason, many reasons, we get so comfortably addicted so fast to living a life behind a screen - this is about to become a whole lot less comfortable though!).

And we release those wounds. The programs that created them will have been erased. We refuse to be divided from our purpose here. This is about following our heart's highest desire - and HINT - this has nothing to do with being a movie star, driving a fancy car and living in Hollywood.

But you already know that. xo ... again
