YAY!
I got here today before I got overwhelmed with social media!!
Just... the morning tea and breakfast in combination with what used to be opening the morning paper before shuffling off to your day. Cyberconsciousness is all inclusive, damn near. As an empath its a 'thing' ... where I have to consciously find and maintain my boundaries with it on a much larger level than just interfacing with my computer. Or be lost to it for awhile.
There, that wasn't bad.
For not being able to find my writing voice in over two weeks.
Emoji bright smiley face...
SIGH.
Okay... serious post. Starting with an astrology reading for the day. I pretty much tune in to a chart casting of transits every day. Maybe its my grounding point before social media. Even if I don't always remember it as I'm getting lost. I can always recall that I'm following the Moon and the sign it is in.
Speaking of the MOON.
Full Capricorn Moon today, 6/27/2018. 10:53 pm this evening.
Denver time anyway.
For gardeners. Do you plant by the Moon? If so today is your last planting day for above ground crops. The current shift is with the Full Moon today and the Waning Cycle following. This is for the next two weeks until the New Moon and the Waxing (increasing volume) Cycle. Time to work on weeding and maintenance ... stabilizing soil and conditions (ie food and watering) for plants now that you've just gotten them all in. Take a break from all plantings unless you are planting a below ground crop for the next two weeks.
Sooo ... Today's Chart.
I've been following that Mars/North Node + Venus opposition for the last week. Mars JUST went retrograde. As in, loss of momentum and forward motion. Maybe taking a step back from pushing any harder for immediate change; PAUSE. Actually it is because of what is going on on the other side of the opposition, something found that is part of the equation - Healing for our hearts. An anchored place of nurturing and safety, even if it is only found within. Hang in there, eventually ... you healing it and making space within will actually CREATE IT, without. Like a projection around you. Its success depends on how well you ground this healing in yourself - it will determine your ability to receive (Love ... in whatever form of manifestation is chosen). When this Mars retrograde passes? No doubt the purpose of the delay, to stop and value something you've been taking for granted. Give it a few weeks and find your sense of appreciation for life. This will make your evolution more than just going through the motions, it will make it real.
I just noticed that the North Node and Venus are in the 12th house. It may seem to us that our realization of heart space is new, but it's something that has been there all along. We haven't able to realize it until recent shifts made it possible, or brought it into view. 11th house Cancer planets. Neptune retrograde ... but also Chiron's shift into Aries last month.
I like how this theme repeats itself in this chart. Unconditional love and the Heart, creativity also. This is our current lesson and joint path - Leo, ruled by the Sun and conjunct Venus. The chart is showing us a grounded, Capricorn Moon. Grounding already, but just about to cross Saturn making it even more so. The anchor. Er, Anchor with a capital A. Saturn rules Time, also. Lol, then there's that Capricorn PLUTO nearby in that house! Wow.
Hm. So some of us if not all of us are looking at a major shift in the organization of how we do time? On a personal level. As well as it happening on other levels. Ie, climate shift and changes in how our planet 'does' timing of things like, seasons and day - night cycle and orbit. YES! That makes perfect sense with the very recent shift last month of Uranus in Taurus. These are big cycle changes about to happen. Er, happening. Consider this Mars Retrograde a deep breath before the plunge.
Also worth mentioning, I was thinking about this the other day. Leo/The Sun is THE ORGANIZATION PRINCIPLE. Reinforcement for the North Node in Leo, ie, the goal, the path, the focus of accomplishment.
Those Capricorn planets - The Full Moon, Saturn and Pluto are in the fifth house, the Leo house. The house of playmates, unconditional love, and creativity. This is what I meant by the repeating theme for this chart.
Capricorn Moon = a need for boundaries! Conjunct Saturn, make that double boundaries. Fifth house energy and a Leo North Node means, create these for yourself.
Oh yes. And speaking of Mars. Its as if we just 'landed' in the future! With the Sun in the 11th house. The Aquarian house. Mars is in Aquarius. See what I mean about repeating themes or really, reinforcement of the issues?
I saw this AMAZING pic on Facebook of a sunrise on Mars.
Perfect opportunity to share it!
Oh yeah!
I wanted to mention that there's a new doorway about to open up, from the chart.
A Grand Trine. Blue triangles on my software. Okay... see the line between the Sun and Jupiter? And the other one between Jupiter and Neptune? The Sun is moving forward but its only at 5 degrees today. It needs to move just a few more degrees (and it moves about the rate of one degree per day) to close that big triangle and form a complete doorway between The Sun, Jupiter and Neptune. So ... calculating. In three days the Sun will connect 'in orb' with Neptune, completing the doorway. Also Neptune just went retrograde. It is most likely in 'station' which means it takes a certain amount of time for these big planets to reverse direction. Neptune standing still, may make the completion of that doorway a little bit easier as Venus's calming and balancing effect gets its play. Neptune tends to be so nebulous! The station may be calming its illusory qualities, allowing us to see the undistorted picture for a short time, for those paying close attention. As if it has been pinned down in a sense. See the green dotted line? That is a positive adjustment, happening in real time.
One other thing I wanted to make note of, regarding this chart. Powerful numerology with the Nadir and the Midheaven, or the North and South Poles of the sphere. 22 degree master number, but also the 11 seconds, another master number!! What I said about anchors and time and cycles shifting or really, completing their shifts into more permanent placements? Very interesting.
Namaste!
