💫It is through the beauty of creation and arts that we come to understand and recognize universal patterns. 

Mercury Rx conjunct Venus in Pisces. This is typically a mental transit, but Mercury is retrograde and many astrologers consider Pisces (and Sagittarius) his detriment. However, the influence of Venus exalted in Pisces strengthens the raport between planets.

This conjunction occurs in the 5th house, a house of life and creativity representing children, romance, and all amusements. 

There is a dissolution between our mental acuity and feelings enabling us to articulately express emotion. 

This house of creativity best conjoins intellect and emotion through the creative process or admiration of creation and art. We are able to both understand intellectually, feel concepts more deeply, and recognize universal patterns on a spiritual level.

💫Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit! No major aspects—enjoy your day and this offering of art & poetry by Sappho: 

“What cannot be said will be wept.”

  - Sappho (circa 630 to circa 570 BCE)

‘Hesperus, you bring back again’

Hesperus, you bring back again

What the dawn light scatters,

Bringing the sheep: bringing the kid:

Bringing the little child back to its mother.

‘The Moon is down’

The Moon is down,

The Pleiades. Midnight,

The hours flow on,

I lie, alone.

~ 

Painting, Death of Sappho (Safo)(1881) by Catalan artist, muralist and poet Miquel Carbonell i Selva (1854-1896). Museo Nacional del Prado.

About the Painting:

Sappho was a famous Greek lyrical poet from the island of Lesbos. She sometimes was called the Tenth Muse, as her abilities to create music and write poetry were legendary. One story about her death - which has circulated for millennia, despite any evidence as to its veracity - holds that Sappho flung herself off the cliffs of the Greek island Leucadia due to her love for Phaon, a ferryman.

💫Mars enters Pisces: One can conquer more with honey than poison.

Mars enters Pisces this morning @ 9:16 AM, 11th House, the natural home of Aquarius traditionally ruled by Saturn, modernly ruled by Uranus. This is a house of hopes, dreams, goals, visions, friendship, and circumstances beyond our control.

Sun conjunct Juno in Pisces an hour after the above planetary ingress, ushering in personal identity (Sun) and relationship dynamics (Juno), implying that our sense of self is closely tied to partnerships (personal and professional). This aspect highlights the importance of supporting one another's individuality through balance between the needs of the relationship and our own individual goals. 

The Sun sheds light on any issues surrounding the give-and-take in relationships; thus, may nudge us to become clear about our expectations and realizations that loyalty is chosen rather assumption. If we view the relationship as an extension of our self, equality is imperative for balanced reciprocity.

LUNAR ECLIPSE & FULL BLOOD MOON ASPECTS

Late morning the Moon in Virgo sextile Jupiter Rx in Cancer, creating an amiable atmosphere for group activities and/or public relations, enabling us to understand the needs of others. 

We may encounter someone who reveals a positive awareness about ourselves that boosts our confidence. 

This evening the Moon in Virgo sits opposite Mercury Rx in Pisces, portending the importance of recognizing your emotions as visitors just passing through rather than logical judgements toward others over petty matters such as clothing style, or even physical appearance. 

This may stem from a trigger from childhood experiences, so evaluate your thought process carefully before determining a decision. It might be best to seek solitude or the company of someone you trust until this aspect passes.

Advantageous opportunity to further our goals and experiences await today before an extended, 16.5 hour void-of-course moon beginning this evening. 

Sun in Pisces trine Jupiter Rx in Cancer. Even with Jupiter retrograde, this is one of the more positive aspects. For most it presents a rather whimsical and relaxed energy accompanied by a temptation to while the day away lackadaisically. 

This would be a waste, unless we truly need to relax. Otherwise, we have the ability to further our goals and experiences through the energy we project and/or make necessary changes in our lives that we've needed to address but couldn't for fear of loss or failure. 

This evening an extended 16.5-hour Void-of-Course Moon beginning this evening @ 6:22 PM; therefore, any direct action you plan to take prior to this VC period should yield positive results. Tangible actions during the VC period are likely to not manifest. "Nothing will come of this," is a VC's axiom.

Considering the opinions or viewpoints of others regarding discussed plans is important for support. 

Back-to-back conjunctions early morning. Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Pisces followed by Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries. 

We may be more apt to take the initiative in conversations, direct or written, to convey our point from clarity the Sun upon Mercury provides. Consider the viewpoints of others as an inclusive aspect of moving forward. 

Now is the time to act after yesterday's extended lunar void-of-course period. Be sure to write down any concepts, as this transit is fleeting. Short distance may be in the forecast. 

Venus conjunct Neptune can add a spiritual aura to circumstance and relationships as long as you avoid excessive expectation from others. If we can remain grounded and realistic, we could discover a willing vulnerability that engages trust on a deeper level. 

We may also find ourselves more deeply inspired by the arts and even decide to engage the creative process.
