Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Scorpio

Wisdom Goddess: Kali (Goddess of Endings and Beginnings)

Skill: keep things as simple as possible

Positive Imprints: cooperation, personal responsibility, setting a good standard, opening up, reading a room or a situation (taking stock before acting), balancing giving and taking, seeing the best of what’s around

Catalysts for Change: self-denial, immaturity and arrested development, uncooperative, divisions (especially racial divisions), attempting to take from others

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: “a crowded public marketplace” (human interchange and exchange; expressions of self)

Strong solar activity continues with three M-class flares in the past 24-hours. It is unknown at this time if coronal mass ejections accompanied any of the flares. The flares occurred yesterday at 10:33 am ET, 7:53 pm ET, and 11:23 pm ET / 2:33 pm UT, 11:53 pm UT, and 3:23 am UT.

Today’s overall energy is no less potent. Mars meets up with Uranus at the same place in the sky. In astrology this is called a conjunction. Jolts (more accurately, joules) of energy ripple through the field of consciousness (or grid of consciousness).

When the electromagnetics of these two planets meet up, shocking, surprising, and amazing things happen. Accidents are more common under this dynamic. Mars’ energy wants to move ahead and make things happen. Uranus’ energy wants to free us of whatever holds us back and get us back on our proper course.

Oftentimes, it’s a clash of the titans. Mars says, “Out of my way.” Uranus says, “Only if I say so.” Uranus always wins in this contest. He is older and wiser and has the mission of alignment with what is in our highest and best desires/interests. Uranus works at the soul’s level.

Venus starts the day at the degree of “the gate to the garden of all fulfilled desires” today, so that is a bonus for the energy of putting us where we need to be.

Later in the day, Venus will move to the degree of “a woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable, but veiled, load.” This energetic has been strongly in effect since March 2014. Today it brings the power to release or share a burden or secret and also the power to “load in” our hopes, wishes, and dreams for the future.

It’s a complicated day, and the Sun is amplifying it all. Under these conditions, we aim for keeping things as simple as possible. And we follow the course.
