<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\nWe pick up the story with the Sun in the last days of Libra, many other planets in Libra, and the Moon in Scorpio, about to square Nessus. Ceres, similar to the Moon but with a more focused adult energy, entered Scorpio last week. The Moon and Ceres can represent many of the same things, but Ceres has more to do with the feelings and experiences of mature women, in particular mothers, than does the Moon.<\/p>\n
My own biases lead me to believe that there will be more get-real conversation on days with a powerful Moon-Nessus aspect, though this may be more about cultivating inner awareness and potent emotions brewing around. Humans have an odd tendency to avoid talking about what matters to them the most; we’re luck to even be aware of it. With the Scorpio Moon square the planet of healing transgressions, those feelings could surround inner revelations about the extent to which we are ruled, as in dragged around, bullied and even pushed into a corner, by our sexual injuries. These would include all forms of wounded trust, trust being the primary thing that takes the brunt of any abuse. The issue here seems to be why we put up with it, which is something we could all profitably preoccupy ourselves with.<\/p>\n
Ceres, now in Scorpio, suggests that we get to know the sexuality and relationship lives of our mothers. I recognize that for most people, this is not exactly appealing, for a diversity of reasons; but she is keeping secrets, and her secrets from you are your secrets from yourself. This chart tells a story, and remembering the ‘mythical fiction’ aspect of astrology, consider this: her relationship life was more complex than she let on by way of her public image. Mothers must maintain a PR position to be considered ‘fit for motherhood’, and there is always more to the story than appears on the surface of that appearance.<\/p>\n
Along with this comes the image of the good wife or partner. Unfortunately, that image is given more weight than the substance it usually conceals. This works great in the world of egos, and terribly in the world where actual maturity and growth are given any importance or emphasis.\u0412\u00a0 Even if the image you were shown was that of an absolutely perfect marriage and the actual scenario did not involve her being unfaithful to your father, there was more to her inner life than you recognized.<\/p>\n
There was her relationship history prior to knowing your father, which is typically something that is suppressed in the ‘normal’ family lifestyle. Mon’s prior history is basically erased in many families, particularly those that were forming in the 1940s through the early 1970s (before it started to be revealed by various social currents that women are actually people with lives independent of their families). The differential between what you were told and what you felt created tension within you that may to this day be unresolved. Between the image and the truth was created a space wherein it was possible for you to deceive yourself about your own needs, desires and experiences.<\/p>\n
You know more than you think about all of this, though you have considered the impact on your psyche somewhat less than would be helpful. There is also a hint mixed in here about how the food-related themes of your life are connected to the sexual and relational themes of your mother’s life. We often wonder what is going on down in the core emotional or psychological engine underneath all this stuff about food and weight and body image. In this discussion, which focuses on Ceres in Scorpio throwing a veil over a number of planets in Libra (Sun, Mercury, Pallas Athene, Venus), we have a significant clue. And with the Moon in Scorpio square Nessus, there is a reminder that self-reproach is one of the most dangerous psychological habits we can have running our lives, and truth be told, it does.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Scorpio, Mars is underway in Leo, now in what some call ‘shadow phase’. In other words, when Mars turns retrograde just before the Capricorn solstice, it will back up all the way to the beginning of Leo; and after the station direct it will cover those degrees for a third time. As I mentioned Friday, Mars will spend more than seven months in Leo, covering 18 degrees of that sign three times: currently in direct motion, then retrograde then direct beginning March 10.<\/p>\n
Leo is about self-esteem and the state of health of our self concept. Both Mars and Leo are also about money: Leo, in particular, being the second sign of the Thema Mundi and the sign of the gold standard. The economic news is personal; it is about you, how you feel about yourself and how you are able to transpose this into the ability to take care of yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The New Moon early Sunday morning swept gently through its position in late Libra, trine the triple Aquarius conjunction (really, quadruple, if you count Nessus) and square the lunar nodes: a tipping point. The nature of that may be coming in more clearly now.
