Today the moon is Conjunct to Mars in Gemini (Cancer cusp) opposed to Pluto in Capricorn. A harsh sense of politics, possibly sexual politics, in the grand sense of what is considered "the rules" conventional institutions and the like are in opposition to both our sensitivities and drives. When this occurs we must take this moment to examine what we really want. by this I mean that we always want some kind of specific occurrence or physical object, physical standard etc, but upon examination usually what we want is simply a feeling that is either symbolized by the out-come we assume we want, or we assume that those feeling will come from getting the outcome we are wishing for.
Lets ask ourselves for a second why we do this? Because it is pretty clear that what we want are feelings, after all, and not physical outcomes. This is obvious because when we think upon physical outcomes that we wanted that were not accompanied by those feelings we expected, not only are we dissatisfied, we are in fact often even LESS satisfied than we would be if we had neither the emotional outcome nor the physical one.
Again, Why do we do this? The secret lies in the very astrology we are looking at. The moon is about our emotions and sensitivities. She has become conjunct to Mars, who was already opposing Pluto (and Squaring Uranus - and as mars progresses forward moving toward another grand Cardinal cross with Saturn in Libra). Now the moon brings our sensitives directly in line with a conflict already present in our "drives" (mars). It makes it all more personal, and emotionally we feel more attached to it, but the crux of the energy sits between Mars Pluto and Uranus.
With this set of planets in the mix one can scarcely doubt that the central issue is power and control, and given the centrality of the opposition, let us begin by looking at that master of Power-play, Pluto. Pluto suckers us into a power game of control. Pluto issues are about the difference between power and control, because put quite simply they are not the same way. Personal power may often be characterized by the release of technical control. We smother too often our emotional needs with our specific physical outcome expectations. So you have mars reactive and defensive on the Cancer cusp, advocating for the defense of our sensitivity- which is good, Pluto in Capricorn weaving the lesson of honesty with our desires and expectations, which is also good, and Uranus (our bastion of the unfolding future and idealism, the bringer of absolute change) in Aries pushing hard demanding a brave new world, and redefinition of the very idea of our lives and this too is good.
These are all goods, but together it may be challenging. The Universe is trying to tune us, basically she is showing us a very fine point. Earlier I used the expression conflict, but in truth it is less conflict and more an act of focusing to a point, a point that when we achieve it the outcome is truly outstanding. This may be tricky, as often we are out of tune with the universal vibrations...
But fear not, there is some help in the Wings. Neptune on the Pisces Aquarius cusp is trining Mars, and if we focus on that fuzzy powerful spiritual contemplative space that Neptune, especially on that charged Aquarian-Piscean border, we find our spiritual center which allows us to set aside manifestational assumptions and embrace the desires of spirit which are all about what emotionally feels better.
Plus there is a marvelous opportunity to key into Mercury, that master of information words and communication hanging out sextil to mars on the Leo-Virgo cusp, which has an energy of performance and play combined to an attention to detail, this may be utilized to strengthen our mars in pursuit of whatever it is we feel we want.
So the overall trick is simply thus:
Step1
Relax. Let go of shoulds and presumed plans of what you want, let it all go fuzzy, connect with spirit, simply by closing your eyes breathing deeply, whenever something pops into your head, think "unimportant" until you feel peaceful. (This is called meditation) It may help from this point to feel the great love of the universe, it is abundant if we dimply expect it to be there and focus on it, it is.
Step 2
Think about what feelings you are after, if you want write them down. Find those feelings, and determine what things you can do right now to get you closer to those feelings. If an idea returns you to something that you feel you can't have at the moment, return to step one... and don't expect these either, be prepared always to re-enter step 1, because what we want is a feeling.
Step 3
Allow yourself to know that any feeling you want is attainable, and that if all you do is want it and move intuitively with your feelings, you will have it, as long as you sometimes remember to return to step 1.
Step 4
I embrace the abundant love and Joy the Universe holds for me. I release control and receive personal power from faith and love, for that is the only power their is. I ride forward into the brave new world following my heart in a steady joyful flow. And every moment I remind myself of the abundance I live in, and that there is a more beautiful place to be only one step away, and I step.
