Moon square Neptune, perceptions

Cosmic Weather:

“We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.” – Iris Murdoch

The Waxing Moon in truth-seeking Sagittarius squares shape-shifter Neptune Rx in Pisces (12:32 pm EDT) – For a myriad of reasons, it seems that we often tend to see mainly what we want to see in a situation and, more or less, pitch the rest. Unless we are maybe prodded or challenged to do a deeper dive into a matter, at which time, we may then discover – much to our chagrin or horror – that we have been laboring under an illusion – and a very persistent one at that! Of course, too, there are probably some of us, no doubt, who are much more talented or gifted than others with respect to being able to view or perceive things in a chronically “off-the-mark” manner. 🙂

Luna square fantasy Neptune does seem to exaggerate this perceived vulnerability in our perceptions as Neptune is thought to represent/depict, among other things, actual foggy conditions in nature – which can, accordingly, make it that much more difficult for us to see the underlying/surrounding reality of something. Neptune is also similarly associated with costume parties that hide/distort true identities.

So with Neptune’s alignment with the Sagittarius Moon – which archetypally reigns over our personal collection of beliefs, ideologies, convictions, and aspirations – it would appear that a possible challenge for us now may be to figure out or devise some kind of “low-beam” strategy that allows us to cut through some of the haze that may be shrouding or clouding our understanding of the bigger picture now.

Perhaps one way to do this may be to ask ourselves questions, such as: What might I be failing to see here? What might I be leaving out? How might it benefit me to purge, or let go of, or at least temporarily suspend, some of the storylines or narratives that I may have been telling myself, that may be suspect? Too, often when we pose questions to ourselves, it is akin to doing a Google search yielding a plethora of results. Another alternative here may be to do a Tarot reading and shuffle our questions into the cards.

“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.” – Margaret J. Wheatley

Additionally, the Moon-Neptune influence may offer up a period of dreaminess; a longing for escape; immersion into activities such as meditation or yoga that provide us with a feeling of peace or transcendence.

*All times EDT

Born On This Day: Liz Green, American-British professional astrologer, author, Jungian analyst, and lecturer; one of the most highly respected astrologers of the 20th century. Liz is turning 76 today:

“Sometimes “inner work” requires an act of loyalty rather than an effort at transformation. Knowing what makes us happy (Venus), expressing this to others (Mercury), and standing firm in the face of opposition (Mars) may seem very petty against the more profound concerns of the outer world. Yet in their own way, these things are equally profound, for it is these small acts of self-affirmation that define the ego and ultimately the capacity to mediate the heavy planets with their destructive and transformative potentials.”

Hope it’s a good one. Please be safe and well!

Astrology August 21, 2014: Mercury Trines Pluto

“When people will not weed their own minds, they are apt to be overrun by nettles.” Horace Walpole

COSMIC WATCH:

Clarity of mind is always potentially a big game changer for us because, when we have it, we usually spend much less time second-guessing or doubting ourselves. Which means that we automatically have more energy at our disposal to funnel toward other things in life. Especially the things that are paramount to us – like making steady traction toward our dreams.

Too, ridding ourselves of self-limiting thoughts and beliefs – which are really nothing but insidious weeds that choke out our spirit – is also an effective way to help squelch the energy leaks and get us going again in the right direction.

What is formidable about today’s cosmic energy is, intellectual Mercury, which is already strengthened by being in analytical Virgo, a sign that it rules, is giving a big shout-out to transforming Pluto, the planet of perception and transformation, via a harmonious, 120-degree trine aspect. Pluto characteristically invites us to “go deeper” with just about everything that manages to skirt across cross its path. So, it would appear that a bright hope for the day is that we will be able to make some decent headway in the clarity or insight department. For instance, maybe we will finally be able see things that we haven’t been able to see before, for whatever reason. Also, it’s perhaps worth pointing out that, sometimes even the slightest alteration in our perceptions can end up having major consequences for our lives, which I’m sure we’ve all experienced, at one time or the other.

Additionally, the greater awareness that is floating up to our consciousness now can also possibly translate into our being able to communicate with others more persuasively, albeit with more conviction, in either speech or writing. We are also more inclined to want to share or reveal our deepest secrets due to the intrinsic excavating nature of Mercury-Pluto. Too, Pluto rules spying and espionage, and hidden factions or elements.

Question for Today: Where do you think clarity has been missing in your life?

Enjoy your Thursday!

Astrology November 28, 2012: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini

“I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

COSMIC WATCH:

A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in “communication” Gemini today, at 6 degrees (9:45 am EST), puts a spotlight on logical thinking, our conversations or exchanges with others, and information gathering and sharing. With the Sun also in opposing Sagittarius, we are made aware of how our personal beliefs and biases (Sagittarius) can creep into our thought process (Gemini) and correspondingly color it.

Full Moons signify endings or release, while eclipses often represent critical turning points or junctures in our lives. Both provide us the opportunity for greater illumination. With this Lunar Eclipse in “cerebral” Gemini, we may find that we need to modify our beliefs and thinking now to accommodate changing scenarios, or even breakthroughs in our own consciousness.

This Eclipse is in a wide conjunction with optimistic, growth-oriented Jupiter, which can help to give us more upbeat expectations for the future. Jupiter represents our faith and hope. At the same time, with Mars conjunct Pluto in Capricorn and Venus conjunct Saturn in Scorpio, we are also very aware of the need to carefully manage the resources already in our possession now, trimming the fat or belt-tightening, wherever needed. Saturn representing the principal of conservation, Pluto governing elimination.

It’s interesting, too, that we have the talks (Gemini) going on now, on Capitol Hill, about the pending “fiscal cliff” in government (Capricorn), and what to do about it. The politicians will likely be needing to do some impressive mental gymnastics, in the days and weeks ahead, to solve the crisis.

Also, Saturn favorably sextile to Pluto, for the next month or so, should help to create a climate where some kind of resolution is possible for this situation, as these two can be extremely resourceful when they are paired together. Saturn-Pluto also symbolizing the ability to transform or alter (Pluto) the world or structures around us (Saturn). Too, Pluto specifically governs debt and taxes.

Lunar Eclipses can be felt for up to three to six months and we can also feel their impact several days in advance.

Some Gemini Moon Activities: visiting bookstores, libraries, attending lectures, speaking engagements, writing, teaching, short trips, involvement with siblings, neighbors, shopping for cars or phone equipment, sightseeing, social networking.

Happy Eclipse Blessings to you! Would also love to hear about your Eclipse stories, if you would care to comment down below.
