Here is the new edition of Planet Waves FM
Today is Wednesday, November 30, 2011. The Moon continues through Aquarius all day, working into a conjunction with Neptune early Friday morning.
An Aquarius Moon offers some potential perspective on what could otherwise be overwhelming events in our lives these days. The same sky that may be lending one person an exhilarating sense of potential and adventure may be suffusing another person’s experience with a sense of chaos and pressure to exceed their capabilities. What we have going on is Mercury retrograding back into another conjunction with the centaur planets Pholus and Hylonome in mid-Sagittarius. The first similar conjunction occurred a couple weeks ago, while everything was more closely aligned with the Great Attractor. Planet Waves covered this in an article called The Chaos Generator [premium content, offered today to all readers].
One of the ways we are seeing this setup manifest is in the perhaps-surprising power of ideas — specifically, we can see it in action with the official responses to the Occupy movement. Pundits, celebrities and political leaders are lining up on one side or the other (most celebrities are polarized in support of the 99%, political leaders seem not to want to alienate it, pundits line up by network leaning). Given the influence of the planets involved, particularly Mercury picking up everything like a satellite dish connected directly to your mind, this will be palpable astrology. It could manifest as a passing thought finding a foothold and growing. Whether it becomes an inspiration or an albatross, a doorway to action or a blockade to understanding, is another question.
