Mercury in Aquarius squares Vesta in Scorpio - sudden messages, thoughts and insights serve to challenge our commitment to fully integrating our shadow Self. A recently stationed direct Uranus rules both Mercury and the degree of aspect. When lightning strikes it lights up the sky, the ground below and all that surrounds us. Are those shadows truly frightening or is it just the thought of acknowledging what you see that is causing the disconnect? It is okay to be devoted and detached while sticking to the facts. ℞ Mars in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries - as repressed emotions rise to the surface, expressing them has the ability to wound and to heal. All roads lead back to the Moon here, as Aries answers to Mars and Mars answers to the Moon. We feel how we feel, there's no denying that and keeping it bottled up inside makes us a liability, not only to ourselves but to those closest to us as well. Acceptance is essential, acknowledgement is key and moving differently shifts the cycle and reframes history. Mercury in Aquarius trines ℞ Jupiter in Gemini - as Jupiter prepares to station direct, Mercury comes through with a message for the people. Being who you are is not the problem, being around people that judge you for being who you are is the real problem. Seeing both sides encourages fairness, equality and enhances perspective. And false narratives create disconnects in the psyche, division amongst people and stands in the way of forward progression. We all have our individual perspectives and journeys through life, how the story is told matters just as much as the moral behind it.
Moon enters Taurus - from fire to earth, Luna enters Taurus as Venus prepares to enter Aries. Grounding down our passions and dreams and implementing them into reality, leaning into our ability to transform while remaining stable, indulging in life while practicing moderation is the vibe. Luna grows towards the first quarter phase and encourages us to stick with our new moon intentions; obstacles are a natural part of life- keep going. Happy lunar return Taurus Moons.
