💫 Sat, Mar 23, 2025: Expressing Gratitude when in pain is a leap toward healing what triggered our wound.

Early morning the detrimental OOB Moon in Capricorn quincunx Jupiter in Gemini in the realms of structure and reasoning ability. It's a perfect time to focus and map out steps to a goal, budget, or anything you put your mind to. 

Midafternoon the Aries Sun sextile Pluto in Aquarius in the realm of imagination and profound relationships, creating an opportune time to forge a personal or business partnership. 

Aries' energy and drive coupled with Pluto's transformational ability can take whatever you desire to the next level.  

Tonight, the detrimental, OOB Moon in Capricorn oppose a fallen, OOB Mars in Cancer square Chiron in Aries.  We can be supportive and/or protective or demanding and/or domineering. If we are the recipient of such behavior, then awareness of the influence can help keep our emotions in check. 

Honor the triggers that rise and the energy of gratitude for the lesson. It's the first step in healing. 

East Coast night owls can experience a lovely sextile between the OOB Moon in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces. This is a combination of reasoning and fun through compassion and understanding. Maybe navigating the above energy has brought rewards and now it's time for some fun!

💫 Don't burn bridges for the sake of watching the fire.

Late morning/midafternoon the detrimental Moon in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces sextile detrimental Venus Rx in Aries, heightening our intuition and desire to transform a situation or relationship. There's a karmic element here that could produce spiritual advances through compassion as long as we're cautious about our actions and behavior. 

Late afternoon the Aries Sun conjunct Mercury Rx and the Moon in Aquarius conjunct Pluto in the realm of aspiration/life and duty/substance. Our attention to details and styles of communication become more proactive, improves, and increases; however, we need to keep a tight rein on our temperament, or we may find our actions more impulsive, hot-headed, and aggressive than we realize. 

Tonight, the Moon in Aquarius sextile Mercury Rx in Aries sextile the Sun in Aries, both aspects in the realm of security and endings. There's an air of urgency to everything but be prepared for disruptions due to Uranus' influence. Domestics, amusements, and relationships are featured; however, authenticity is imperative to avoid fanaticism/addiction to actions rather than the cause behind them. 

Don't burn bridges for the sake of watching the fire rather than your own good.

💫 Worry depletes the Spirit of Healthy Nutrients. 

Midafternoon - early evening the Aquarius Moon trine Jupiter in Gemini and Mercury Rx in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius. We may struggle to conform or accept change; however, the more we're willing to let go of resistance and adapt, the more we'll see beyond the surface of our immediate perception. 

Today may not be the day to rebel against authority. 

Work and health are linked here, so pay attention to the balance you're living. Make sure it's equal between professional and personal responsibilities, making time for rest and recreational activities. Worry depletes the spirit of healthy nutrients.

💫 Overcoming conflict leaves us stronger and able to navigate future conflict with more wisdom

.

Early morning or West Coast night owls will experience the Aquarian Moon quincunx OOB Mars in Cancer sextile Chiron in Aries on @ 21º respectively.  When degrees are exact for two or more aspects, I enjoy exploring the Sabian symbols for a deeper context and storyline. 

"Facing emotional upset and pain with grit and forbearance" followed by "Seeing that success and failure are simply emotional outpourings", and ending with "Measuring up to challenges so to examine our strengths and weaknesses". 

 Viewing challenges as a teacher enables us to see its gift as the grit we need to become stronger through self-evaluation. Whatever disappointment or frustrations you may face, see beyond its face to the gift it brings. 

East Coast early birds are met with a Moon in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus. There comes a time when we must turn our back on our passions so that we may teach from the wisdom of experience. 

Serenity is found when knowledge and experience are in harmony. This is achieved by conquest of the lower self, leading to the mastery and the power of command. In life we experience external forces – social and physical. Utilizing self-discipline enables us to take control of them.

Late afternoon OOB Mars in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, returning the energy of early morning. Success and failure are simply emotional outpourings. Only when we are aspiring to excellence can we feel alignment with the soul. 

Remember that raw experience is the grit that promotes such self-realization. Overcoming conflict leaves us stronger and more able to navigate conflict in the future.

💫 The only way out is through

Midmorning Venus Rx conjunct Neptune in Pisces. Venus is exalted in Pisces and Neptune is dignified, which would indicate that our social urge, sense of value, and affection ( Venus ) cojoins our spiritual or escapist urge and intuition ( Neptune ) in the realm of values and substance. 

Here we have an opportunity for spiritual growth through experience. Appraising relationships and how they measure up to our personal values should reveal a repetitive pattern that we either wish to enhance or break.  Don't opt for the escapist urge here. The only way out is through.

This energy is enhanced throughout late afternoon when the Moon in Pisces square Jupiter in Gemini in the realm of face-to-face relationships and cooperation.  Here we are susceptibility to emotional assaults and an impressionable state; however, it's also when we're at our most spiritual because our boundaries have been lowered.  

Rather than feeling pressured into emotional escapism ( sleep, drugs, alcohol, etc. ), hold or attend a sacred circle or some other type of spiritual event or group to ensure that you transform emotional stumbling blocks to spiritual steppingstones.

🌑 Dark Moon

💫 Follow meditative joy into the prism and explode into a million colors of being. 

Early morning the Moon conjunct Saturn in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus @ 24°. We must utilize compassion and understanding to work with others productively. Conflict should be a catalyst to learn how to overcome one another's differences, which in turn promotes personal growth. 

Mid/late afternoon the Moon conjunct Venus Rx and Neptune in Pisces @ 29° ( anaretic ), all in 8th House. This Sabian symbol for this degree is "A light breaking into many colors through a prism." We're on the verge of the veil; we are the light touching the prism and can experience a myriad of colors as though seeing through God's eyes. 

We can choose to look for God in everything; or we can choose to see everything through the eyes of God. Spiritual transformation is possible here. 

Early evening into tonight the Moon conjunct Mercury Rx in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius. It is said that humans are part angel, part animal because animals are complacent with cyclic routine: eating, mating, and sleeping. Some humans are also complacent in this way. Perhaps we're afraid of success as well as failure. 

Only if we align ourselves with what we truly desire will doors open for us. Following the spirit of that desire will open doors for us to break the cycle.  Each person has a special place in the cosmic puzzle that creates the whole—follow your joy into the prism and explode with purpose.

 🌑 SolarEclipse | New Moon, Aries

💫 Ritualizing the mundane is the evolutionary pathway. 

Early morning the New Moon conjuncts the Sun in Aries in the 1st House. You could read more depth about this lunation at the link above if you missed yesterday's post. 

Late afternoon the Moon in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini. When we ritualize basic routines, such as laundry or house cleaning, they're transformed into sacred steps on our path. 

The same thing can be done with our thoughts. Sharing our true opinion can be challenging, especially the difficult conversation when we'd rather feel comfortable. Opening our minds to receive can be just as taxing if our expectations aren't met. 

Empathy cannot exist unless we share something of substance, otherwise, we're dancing to the music of cordiality. If we desire emotional and spiritual growth, then we must be willing to accept ourselves by trusting the guidance of our intuition, as well as accepting others for who they are. 

Tonight, Mercury Rx conjunct Neptune in Pisces, encouraging expressive exploration as opposed to oral communication. This approach promotes poetic expression above plain prose, values artistic representation over factual discussion, and favors musical composition instead of fixed cognitive structures. 

We have an opportunity to rise above ordinary channels of creativity and access a deeper well of inspiration and imagination. It's a steppingstone to understanding and trusting our intuition rather than relying on reason.

🌕💫🪐✨ 

💫 Today's energy requires submission to a higher power to shape our lives, and an inner determination to open the correct door.  

Early morning the Aries Moon will square OOB Mars in Cancer: Allowing higher forces to shape our lives creates a harmonious blending of all aspects of ourselves—a masculine and feminine balance. When we are inwardly equitable, we are more apt to allow intuition to serving as a light along our path. This requires trusting the process by releasing resistance. 

Tonight, the Moon, now in Taurus, will square Pluto in Aquarius: Sometimes the correct path includes noncompliance with improper directives from authority. The choice is simple: What is morally ethical and true to self ( risking reprimand ); or obedience to impropriety ( risking spiritual conviction ). 

Only one will reveal the true door.
