Today is Friday, July 8, 2011. The Moon spends the day in Libra, leaving for Scorpio tomorrow. During the past 36 hours, the Moon has made a lot of aspects — and that can feel exciting or emotionally exhausting. Through the day Friday, the Moon opposes the new planet Eris in Aries– and this may continue a theme of sorting out identity crisis in our relationships.
Now that the Moon has come through so many aspects — what we’ve been describing for weeks as the cardinal cross — Venus in Cancer is fully into the act. Venus is an emotional influence. This is a planet everyone can feel. Venus has been making many aspects, more slowly than the Moon, which means they’re more influential: deeper, more sentimental, more poignant. Today, Venus is making an opposition to Pluto. That is a culmination of some kind. Something may be coming to an emotional peak, or reaching a new depth. You may have the feeling of being backed into a corner, indeed, into several corners at once. Oppositions can indicate our responses to seemingly external situations, such as relationships. This can be any kind of relationship, not just the ones with the big R.
I suggest you be conscious of how you feel in the presence of others, and note those feelings. Also, monitor your own sense of being trapped: whether by your own passion, your hormones, your sense of being a victim, or some emotional circumstance beyond your control.
