Monday, March 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. We feel things deeply and have "X-Ray Vision" and "Bullshit-Smelling Abilities".
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It's thus an excellent time to look at "old" fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it's "in or out", "with us or against us", "love me or leave me". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we "work" the energies :-)
Sunday night/Monday very early morning, a Mercury/Jupiter alignment in almost 19 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 2:06am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night (March 18th) on, and it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. This alignment brings optimism and a tendency to talk and feel things out more; it favors exploring our intuitive world, connection to source, and learning about our ability to feel truly connected to our 6th sense.
We can more readily exercise good judgment, be more philosophical in our thinking, and bring whole-heartedness and compassion to our spiritual or creative endeavors, and connections with animals or beings that need our open heart at this time. There is a sense of mental expansion -- we see our interconnectedness with others (and all that is alive) as a source of expansion and spiritual growth.
We are optimistic and enthusiastic, and things tend to go well as a result -- it's all about thinking big and opening our hearts. What if expanding our understanding around intuitive thoughts helped us better understand what it means to be a spirit being experiencing a human existence? What if that expanded understanding showed us how we might grow beyond the illusions of the physical world? What if it showed us how to navigate the physical world in a whole new way? An intuitive, heart-centered way? One that trusted life and our connection to all of life?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-22 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mercury's movements and aspects; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)
Monday early evening, an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 5pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (March 18th) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desires so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.
This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our physical/sexual wounds, as well as any wounds connected to self-identity. The same is true of our affiliations with other people or groups, and our masculine/doing/conquering energies. Remember: this is an "opportunity" -- those aren't necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.
Ask yourself: What if I brought understanding, compassion, and a kind approach to my reaction to anger (my own or others)? What if connecting to like-minded people that accepted me and my humanity would bring greater peace and acceptance to my wound around self-identity?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-15 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries (Mars rules Aries).
