Moon is is Sagittarius, trine/sextile the north/south Node axis, and Venus is conjunct Uranus, opposite Saturn. A chance of relational troubles, sudden lonliness; as Venus/Uranus can be experienced as upsets in matters of the heart, while Venus/Saturn can be felt as constricted, limited. Both are quite common among couples, what is less common is realizing the correlation of the flavor with transits and consciously choosing to stay connected, current and present.The Birthcard today is the 6 of Diamonds, a Jupiter expression of a Mercury core, with a 9 of Clubs inside and a 3 of Spades outside. 6Ds include Geena Davis, Paul Allen, Seal, Rudolf Nureyev, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Tom Hanks, Raquel Welch, and Freddie Mercury.
Forgive a bit of editorializing, but weeeehaaaaa has been a pent-up 8 years coming. Phew.Sun in exactly conjunct Mercury today, the very center of retrograde, look for sharp but tricksterish minds. Moon officially moves out of Void of Course at 9:30 am PST into Sagittarius. However, not included in officially is Moon sextile Juno a bit sooner, exact at 8:49 am PST. Moon is being nice today, will be sextile Mercury exact at 10:41 am PST, sextile Sun exact at 11:15 am PST, sextile Jupiter exact at 4:46 pm PST. All of these point to congenial, social, good vibes all around. Play safe, there will likely be a wave of Libras, Scorpio, and Libra/Scorpio cusp babies born 9 months from now.The Birthcard of the day is the 7 of Diamonds, a double Venus with a "veiled" double Saturn inside and outside. 7D incarnations include George Carlin, Matt Dillon, Yoko Ono, Pat Nixon, Henny Youngman, Julie Christie, Paul Begala, F. Lee Bailey, and George Burns.
Mercury is in the full retrograde phase now, see the Jan 7 post for details. Moon in Scorpio is busy in a kaleidoscope day today. Moon is trine Venus, exact at 6:59 am PST, sextile Mars exact at 8:58 am PST, square Chiron exact a 12:32 pm PST, trine Uranus exact at 1:18 pm PST, sextile Saturn exact at 4:21 pm PST, and square Neptune exact at 7:37 pm PST, when Moon goes Void of Course till mid tomorrow morning. Mars is trine Saturn, good for getting things done if it was not retro. With the Moon in a kaleidoscope display of transits, it is anybody's guess for the day, but generally good transits till evening, so as much as one may be in the mood to imbibe in celebration, it is not a good evening for self medication.The Birthcard today is the 8 of Diamonds, a crown card with a Jupiter core, with a Queen of Spades inside and a 7 of Clubs outside. 8Ds include Paris Hilton, Dolly Parton, Fabio Lanzoni, Al Green, Sly Stone, Martha Quinn, and Jim Jeffords.
How were your dreams last night? Moon in Scorpio was sextile Pluto around dark-thirty last night. We will be feeling the Mercury-Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius, exact at 11:07 am PST, as it is T-square a Moon-Vesta opposition from right before Dawn. The Mercury-Jupiter conjunction should bring relief to Mercury Retro, with a flavor of expansive communication---however, do be aware of potential for little but important details to be left out of that expansive communication. The T-square could have a bit of edge to it, but Jupiter should make it considerably better all around.The Birthcard today is the 9 of Diamonds, a Uranus implementation of a Mars core, with a Queen of Diamonds inside and a 5 of Diamonds outside. 9Ds include Barack Obama, Ray Dolby, Cleveland Amory, Sylvester Stallone, Dubya, and Francis Crick.
Moon will be trine Neptune, exact at 8:56 am PST, then square Sun, exact at 6:46 pm PST, when she goes to Moon Void of Course till 10:20 pm PST. Dreamy, imaginative morning, if daydreams can be distinguished as such, good for setting dreams, desires, intentions in motion. Later, a chance of a challenge as "reality" calls us back from the dreamworld of creative ideas and ideals.The Birthcard of today is the 10 of Diamonds, a double Jupiter, with a Queen of Clubs inside and a Queen of Spades outside. P. T. Barnum, Martha Stewart, Gloria Estefan, Phil McGraw, Zooey Deschanel, Andy Kaufman, Douglas Hofstadter, and Sammy Kaye are all examples of the 10 of Diamonds incarnate.
Sun is approaching conjunct Juno, exact on the 19th. The flavor of this transit is similar to Sun/Venus---showy beauty, aesthetics with a flair. Moon in Libra is sextile/trine the north/south node axis in the morning, and square Mars, exact at 7:21 pm PST. In the morning there is likely a feeling of harmony, which will gradually give way to one of irritation by evening. Be aware of brash, even accidental events. Wear your seatbelts tonight.The Birthcard of the day is the Jack of Diamonds, a Uranus implementation of a Neptune core, with a 3 of Spades inside and a Jack of Clubs outside. Rube Goldberg, Mojo Nixon, Samuel Hahnemann, Ann Landers, Abigail Van Buren, Kirk Kerkorian, Keith Jarrett, Max Von Sydow, Louis Armstrong and the USA were/are all Jack of Diamonds.
Yes Virgo, within Astrology there are various schools of thought. Moon Void of Course is traditionally the time between constellations where the Moon is not exactly transiting anything. Anything used to be the 7 traditional visible planets, but as we rediscovered more and more heavenly bodies there may be something like 70 of them, some subtler than others, but there they are nonetheless. This would be an example of why this blog is called the astral fog---as it appears that many collective influences are forms in and of themselves, collectively self fulfilling as it were, and as we expand our awareness, what appeared as very real may well become transcended and essentially irrelevant within a larger context. The metaphor of ruts in a trail comes to mind: as more and more travel the trail, it re-enforces the initial form to become widely accepted. Rupert Sheldrake referred to "ruttles" as the morphogenetic forms becoming tangible through repetition. It is possible that one reason that astrology drives reason nuts and actually works is something akin to that: the astral forms become real to us over many cycles. With that...After an exact trine with the Sun, Moon will officially be Void of Course from 6:37 am till 2:30 pm PST, when Moon enters Libra. However, Moon will be trine Juno, exact at 10:19 am PST. Juno is one of the asteriod Goddesses, considered the higher octave of Venus. How was/is your morning? Lacking mojo, or ease of relating, or a bit of each? Later on Moon will be square Pluto, exact at 5:43 pm PST, and trine Jupiter, exact at 6:55 pm PST. In the middle of the night, Moon will be trine Mercury.Coupled with Mercury Retrograde, today is a really, really good day to review deeply and connectedly with thoughts in harmony with feelings and the ability to articulate and communicate both.The Birthcard today is the Queen of Diamonds, a Saturn implementation of a Mercury core, with a 3 of Diamonds inside and a 9 of Diamonds outside. Captain Beefheart, Lloyd Bridges, Jerry Zucker, Aristotle Onassis share this Birthcard, along with Edward Teller, Antonin Scalia, and Rupert Murdoch.
