Welcome to another week, everyone. Hopefully the Pisces New Moon brought a few pleasant surprises your way. Now that we are past the Mars-Pluto opposition, a lot that has seemed so volatile and precarious should start to ease up.
As I write this, the Moon is in the last degree of Aries and ingresses Taurus at 11:13 AM EST, then goes on to form a powerful trine to Pluto in Capricorn and to Saturn in Virgo and also sextiles Mars in Cancer. The Moon reflects our deeper emotional, unconscious and psychological processes that rise and fall just as the Moon goes through its various phases. In an earth sign like Taurus, the Moon is exalted, bringing much stability to ever-fluctuating feelings.
As she trines Pluto and Saturn, again there is a deeply grounding process underway. Taurus is also the sign of the earth and of money; there is now potential to make real progress in a situation in a way that will bring tangible proof and rewards if we are willing to do the hard work. The aspect to Mars is fueling and firing our need for security, giving us the push we may need now to go out and make things happen.
We are building up to a Venus-Saturn opposition at the end of the week, which could spell a mounting feeling of tension when it comes to love and finances.
The weight of responsibility and commitment bears heavy on the soul that longs to drift away carefree on wisps of imagination. But if we can this week manage to hold onto the song in our hearts, we can yet find a way to deal with all that seems so oppressive at the moment. This transit may even suggest that we have an opportunity now to re-negotiate an important professional or relationship situation, itВ may require that we take practical steps (however small) toward the fulfillment of our dreams.Reach out to those who emotionally ground you. We all know change is the only constant, but with the Moon in Taurus, we are being asked to reach for the stillness within. It’s that little voice inside that says, “with a little faith andВ patience, everything is possible.”

“There are certainly difficult or at least challenging conditioning factors at work in your relationships, and you may well be screaming for escape or relief. You are not dying; you are, however, being pushed to change and the force for change is your own impetuous emotional nature. The breakthrough you’re seeking is now an inevitability, though you need to temper your feelings, challenging as that may be. In sum: note carefully what is a projection and what is an objective fact of the world. Life presents us with innumerable opportunities to count ourselves as victims, and we make most of them up. Just remember, there are at least two ways of looking at your current situation. If you’re tempted to see yourself at the mercy of forces beyond your control, try again.”
