Phase Two of
Mental Invigoration comes this Monday when Neptune goes retrograde,
closely following Mercury who began his own retrograde period this past
Saturday. Neptune begins his annual four months moving backward
amplified by the Scorpio Moon. Usually we adjust into his retrograde
periods as a subtle seasonality, an increase in introspection, with
dreams of the past. But during the days when Neptune stands still to
make his change of direction, sometimes waves of imagination and feeling
sweep over those affected, sometimes a deep clarity in the
connectedness of life comes in moments of stillness.
When Neptune stations, the borders
between worlds grow thin and porous. The world is shinier, reflecting
back more of our own projections and obscuring a more reality-based
viewpoint. We’re seeing ideals and glimpses of perfection that should
point the way ahead, rather than cause disappointment that we have a
ways to go.
With Mercury still generating mental
eddies as he begins backward motion, Neptune and Mercury combine to
signify early this week a complex time rich in creative potential.
This is a time to move slowly to appreciate the depths beneath the
surfaces. Getting fascinated by these same depths can lead to ordinary
confusions, getting lost, losing stuff…distractions.
This combo also makes fertile time for scamming; be very wary of emails and telephone calls from unknown sources.
While we’re busy moving into our navels,
Venus makes two strong connections this week. On Sunday she works with
Pluto to let matters die whose time has come; they cooperate gracefully
in easing along processes that can be difficult and more painful than
necessary when done roughly.
The rough part comes this Thursday when
Venus moves on to pass opposite Saturn. She does this every year and
it’s not always dramatic, but it can’t be ignored. For those touched by
these two, a phase in their interpersonal lives needs to evolve and
mature. It often means letting go of comfortable self-images or
cherished self-assessments. It’s time to move on. Both Saturn and
Venus have a healing option through their connection to Chiron. This
growth process becomes a liberation when a full admission of the need
for it is made. Saturn-related changes like this can be resisted, even
ignored, but the result is crystallization, which is more work to break
down later.
The Venus-Saturn opposition comes on
Thursday, exactly on the Full Moon in Sagittarius. The Gemini Sun and
Sagittarius Moon are the Yin and Yang of our information systems.
Gemini gathers and structures information, Sagittarius packages and
distributes it. Perhaps the Venus-Saturn changes involve opening a new
script and letting go of tired dialogues.
Unresolved tensions may come to a head on
Saturday when Mars squares both the Moon and Pluto in the early hours.
The Moon moves on to carry that tension to square Uranus a few hours
later. The Mars-Pluto square begins two weeks when people will tend to
be testy, over-reactive, sometimes hair-triggered. This ends when Mars
is opposite Uranus on June 25th, completing his recap of April’s Cross.
Issues from late April may rekindle as Mars goes back over his April
track.
Sunday June 8, 2014 Libra Moon
Venus and Pluto cooperate today rewarding
those who follow their people instincts. The world is backlit by
Neptune's magic. He stands still tomorrow.
Monday June 9, 2014 Libra->Scorpio Moon
We're still strangers in a strange land
even though we're moving away from the mental disruptions of Mercury's
and Neptune's retrogrades. Imagination rules over intellect, hunches
over conclusions.
Tuesday June 10, 2014 Scorpio Moon
Six water planets, including the Scorpio
Moon, continue to flood our minds with feelings and messages from the
body. When the Moon aligns with Saturn, it's a time to clarify desire
and commitment. If it doesn't feel right, forget it.
Wednesday June 11, 2014 Scorpio->Sagittarius Moon
The Moon ends her overnight VOID
period when she enters Sagittarius at 8:23am/11:23am. Expect the mood
to brighten. The fog is clearing ahead of tomorrow's Full Moon.
Thursday June 12, 2014 Sagittarius Moon
Connect the dots on this Full Moon
with the Gemini Sun opposite the Sagittarian Moon. Venus is opposite
Saturn today creating clarity about money and relationships. Time to
let go and move on.
Friday June 13, 2014 Sagittarius->Capricorn Moon
After 10:04a/1:04pm the Moon is in Capricorn and no longer VOID.
Some of the "big" issues from April may resurface with Mars moving to
square Pluto in a recap of the Cross pattern. Touchy matters escalate
all too easily.
Saturday June 14, 2014 Capricorn Moon
Mars is exactly square to Pluto early
today, amplified by the Capricorn Moon aligning with Pluto and also
squaring Mars. Find a healthy channel for creative destruction: a new
garden bed, demolition for renovation.
Ongoing
Jupiter is direct in Cancer.
Saturn is retrograde in Scorpio. Uranus is direct in Aries. Neptune is direct in Pisces turning retrograde June 9th. Pluto is retrograde in Capricorn.
In the Night Sky
Venus is the bright Morning Star visible in the morning before sunrise.
Mars is overhead at sunset and Jupiter is low in the west.
VOID Moon Tables
(As the moon
moves through the signs of the Zodiac, there comes a time when it has
made the last connection it can make while in the present sign. From
that time until the Moon enters the next Zodiac sign it is said to be VOID.
It means that things are "in neutral". It is a time to maintain
routines but NOT a time to begin new projects. Ideas and opportunities
which come up during VOID moon periods rarely amount to much. It's not a good time to schedule an important first meeting or to make decisions. This VOID time can last from a couple minutes to almost 48 hours depending on the arrangement of the planets in the signs.)
