First Quarter Moon Phase: step out of the comfort zone
Moon in Gemini
Ruling Wisdom Goddess: Chinnamasta (Goddess Who
Expands/Blows the Mind)
Skill: remain centered and look ahead
Positive Imprints: adjustments, re-working,
individuality, uniqueness, putting together something that has puzzled you,
going against the traditional grain, images of the future, creative expressions
(especially with paint)
Catalysts for Change: social class systems,
insincerity, uncompromising, feeling drained, overly competitive, getting
nowhere, one-sided, continually needing to regain footing, comparisons to
others
Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "a crowded
public marketplace" (human interchange and exchange, markets, expressions
and displays of self)
Today's energy is all about looking
ahead, but before we time travel, a brief account of the present keeps us
grounded and keeps things real.
Things move quickly today. The wise owls in a tree (the Sabian
symbol for the degree of Saturn right now) shape shift into road runners, like
the one wise owl Lawrence encountered this past weekend.
Road runners are ground
birds. They rarely fly. They can run
18 miles an hour! In Animal Speak, Ted Andrews writes that
road runners symbolize "opportunities to plan and set these plans into
motion."
In other words, "load
in" - the theme for this lunar month.
This month, we are loading our
intentions not only into the collective consciousness of humanity (the
"crowded public marketplace")
... we are also loading our
* hopes
* wishes
* dreams
* projects
* and goals
... into the next astrological year (which, by
the natural count of time, begins April 18).
Today, Venus arrives at the degree
that streams in threads of inspiration, ideas, solutions, information,
intentions, and knowledge to us.
The energy is designed to stimulate
our minds with new and even radical thoughts.
These may seem quite foreign or
alien (and they are) because they come from a completely different
energetic.
It's a very ancient energetic that
is returning to awareness as part of the Second Renaissance. Be open
to people, places, things, and ideas that are different from your normal
experience.
Now let's speed into the
future.
There are two days that are
highlighted for us: Saturday, February 28 and Wednesday, March 4.
On Saturday, February 28, the Sun
will be moving into exact opposition with the Black Moon.
This transit triggers everyone's
shadow side to come out.
If we are not aware of our core
fear, we react to the circumstances and events of the day through projecting
our own fear onto others.
There are only a couple of days a
year when the Sun makes an aspect with the Black Moon, and it can bring out the
best or the worst in people.
It will heavily involve themes of
expectations (our own and others), levels of trust and vulnerability (or lack
thereof), and perceived failures.
However, it brings solutions to
these themes, as well.
In the end, the Black Moon always
leaves us with a gift.
There are also multiple,
significant astrological aspects in play Saturday, not least of which is
Pluto's move to a new degree in the sky.
Uranus, Pluto, the Moon, and the
Moon's Nodes will form a different sort of Grand Cardinal Cross for five hours
between 7:00 am - noon ET/ noon - 5:00 pm UT.
Events that are taking place, which
likely involve changes, contribute to the future - destiny.
The main energetic of this
mini Grand Cardinal Cross comes from Uranus and the
Sabian symbol of "an Indian weaving a blanket."
The threads of inspiration,
intention, and knowledge that stream in today are being woven into
something larger.
We are "weaving" blankets
of protection, freedom, and creativity into the collective.
We are blanketing the field.
The things we are "loading
in" (the mindset we are holding) creates the way your piece of the blanket
looks.
How is yours looking right now?
As I am "running" out of
time here, a quick glance at the other date...
Wednesday, March 4 shows massive
intensity as Venus will make conjunction with Uranus
Both in square to Pluto
with Jupiter making a trine.
Blow past the astrology and just
remember to...
... start "loading in" some awareness now that we
will be called to "hold the line"
... because it's life and game-changing
energy
... which tends to spin things out of control.
Though the day is speedy, we will
keep a good stride, knowing what's ahead.
