Dancing With the Stars
Today’s Mood
The Moon often sets the mood for the day, so here are a few keywords based on the movement of the Moon through the skies.
Moon in Scorpio (All Day): You are at once both Honest and Jealous.
Uranus Opposite Moon (1 AM): You feel Insecure and experience Destabilization.
Moon Sextile Saturn (5 AM): You engage in Self-Exploration and are Rewarded.
Moon Conjunct Venus (5 PM): You are Enchanted by the Strong Women in your life.
Today’s Big Events
Uranus Opposite Mercury: The Destabilization that comes with Uranus in Taurus has been present for a while this year, and even though Uranus is about to change signs back into Aries, Mercury wants to make sure today that we are still aware of its influence. We begin to see what it has been doing in our lives to prepare us for the next seven years of Uranus in Taurus so that we can be ready for the changes we are about to undergo.
Venus Square Mars: Due to multiple retrogrades, Venus and Mars are doing an interesting dance across the skies, and this is only the midpoint of that dance. Back on September 7th we saw the first Square aspect between the planets, with Venus in Balanced Libra and Mars just exiting its retrograde in steady Capricorn. These are both great positions for those planets to be in, so even with a difficult Square aspect, the fireworks weren’t that destructive.
Today, however, Mars is in Aquarius without much to mitigate its separating qualities, and Venus is in Scorpio, which is ruled by Mars and she is out of her element. This Square produces much more tension, and the resolution of this situation is unclear. In fact, we won’t see the resolution of the issues that are brought up at this time until the third and final Square aspect of this dance, which will happen on March 21st of next year. At that time, the situations are somewhat reversed: Mars will have made its way to Taurus, which is Venus-ruled, and Venus will have found its way to Aquarius. Venus will win out in this battle between the planets, even if it takes a while!
