When the Storm Within Teaches Us Something New

Fresh off the intense power opposition between Mars and Pluto, we now have to absorb its emotional effects and process all it brought into or out of our lives. We should pay particular attention to our financial scenario and our property, if we own any. Certain contentious matters may arise that need tended to, and if we don’t feel like we can resolve those matters, we should take a long pause to let the dust settle. The New Moon is going to initiate important new directions in our lives that might have to do with our bodies, our sensuality, our home, our money, and especially the sustainability of all of these valuable assets. We all need to feel secure and stable to a greater or lesser degree, so prioritizing everything in our life that helps us feel grounded and at peace can really help sculpt a calming and stabilizing lunation.

Testing the tranquil, grounded New Moon with some electrifying oddities should shake up our day today, especially if we have been itching for some excitement and funky vibes. But through the veil of those oddities we should be watchful for pioneering possibilities. Uranus brings strange and wonderful colors and inventions, and even though Moon passes it by fleetingly, ignitions can start exciting fires in our brains, so let’s consider what blows in when we’re least expecting it. And if something does spontaneously combust inside our sparkling noggins, it will already be queued for immediate scrutiny by Judge Saturn. Will it work? Does it meld with our lifestyle? Can we afford it? The practical vibes are trying to work things out with the funky vibes, and while those two don’t always get along, we can do what we can to teach them to forgive and love one another. After all, it’s all going on in the windows and mirrors of our psyches anyway.

Our thoughts and thought patterns are getting up and going with a hop, skip, and a jump today. Ideas, phone calls, verbose text messages and emails, or perhaps some news of loss or disappointment could blow in to meet us. It would be good to pause a few times throughout the day to channel the grounding calm we hopefully embraced on Sunday. Chattering chatterboxes can stress us out and overwhelm our senses with too much information. But there are always valuable message treats awaiting us during Gemini Moons, so we should not be neglecting the swarms of unsolicited data entirely, just enough to remain calm and take care of our mental health. We should probably be preparing for tomorrow’s fiery launch of Venus into Aries, which will consummate the initiation of all three inner planets ingressing fire signs. The more we can strategically plan for any new initiatives we have been conjuring, the more well-positioned we will be for their gracious unfoldment.

Though Venus’s ingress into Aries may not be immediately obvious, we are sure to begin feeling a thrust of creativity and inspired desire. This is a powerful and hopefully optimistic transition we can embrace with passionate hearts to bring to life precious new beginnings. There is an added verve to the day with the Gemini Moon amplifying the excitability we might be bursting with. Taking things in stride is always important when there are fresh starts like this. We have to be mindful of whatever we are setting out to do to avoid rushing too fast and too recklessly into them. We are likely going to start considering a handful of things we previously were only dreaming of, which should include taking careful stock of our values and priorities. What matters most? Who matters most? And why? Let’s wrap our arms around all the potential that is latent in this fresh start!

Do our feelings ever snag our pursuits and leave us dangling in limbo? Sometimes we have to address those feelings directly and sort them out thoroughly before we can move forward with anything else. Some version of this scenario could play out today, because the fresh Venusian arrival into Tropical Aries is met with a rather stifling emotional onslaught. Dramas that stem from disagreements and differences can overwhelm us to the point where we feel frustrated and held back from the excitement that is otherwise building inside us. Lending a hand to ease this conceivable predicament is emotionally detached Uranus pleasantly aspecting Moon’s North Node, which helps guide us and prepare us for what lies ahead in our lives. So maybe stepping back as much as we can from the emotional turbulence can help us see more clearly and lucidly into the crystal ball of our unconsciousness.

There is potential for continued moodiness today, but if we allow ourselves to drift and daydream toward the bright lights of our exciting new hopes, we should be able to thwart any excessively overwhelming emotions. Those emotions could be trying to tell us something very important, however, so we should maybe listen carefully to where they steer us and how we feel as we go through the day. Often we try to push away our feelings, especially if they’re not so positive or seemingly helpful, but lessons lurk within those feelings. If we are patient, open-minded, and open-hearted, we can follow them into the magical labyrinths of our soul and discover incredible new insights. Do we know why we feel the way we feel about someone, something, someplace, or some experience? Do we know why we feel anxiety about the future, or certain details of the future? Let’s explore and discover all the wild expanses of who we are!

The waters of the Moon are subsiding and giving way to a fresh burst of creative stage time. We may be needing to work out some sensitive timing issues early this morning, particularly if we have neglected staying on top of our game logistically, but when Moon lights up in Leo around 8am EDT we can rest assured the rest of our day will involve some helpful gusto that grooves real nicely with the Neptune-Venus duo freshly in Aries. The inner fires are beginning to really grow and expand our capacity for creative output, which is a very positive and uplifting approach we should cultivate and diligently tend to. If we lose sight of our creative inspiration we can falter and fall back into the frustrating fires of combativeness and discontent. I can’t stress enough how valuable it is for us to attune to our inner spirit, our divinity, and the magic that emanates from that attunement. Let’s stay peaceful and supportive to everyone we engage with today!
