Critter of the air, on the ground: a baby crow, stranded. Photos by Amanda Painter, who tells the story this way: Saturday, a pair of crows engaged in what I thought was a territory dispute on the roof of my third-floor apartment for the entire day -- literally from early morning until sundown. The next day my neighbors told me they\u2019d called their daughter, who works with wildlife rehabilitation, and she said the crows were likely watching over a baby on the ground. July 4, I looked out my window to see the fledgling in my yard, and managed to get within several feet to take photos before the parents noticed; the baby kept shifting position but did not seem disturbed by me, its mouth continually open.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today is Wednesday, July 6, 2011<\/strong><\/a> The Moon is in Virgo all day and ingresses Libra aat 11:52 pm EDT. Like yesterday, the newly waxing Moon is gathering the solar light through a mentally-oriented, practical and usually introspective Earth sign, so it is still a great time for catching up on quiet detail-oriented work and making the most of your analytical powers. The Moon can influence your mood; you can follow the Moon’s signs and notice over time how you feel during a particular transit.<\/p>\n

Contrasting somewhat with the Moon’s inner trip, Venus in Cancer is beginning a process of making many aspects — to Uranus, Chiron, Jupiter and Pluto, to name a few. And when the Moon enters Libra tonight, it will begin to do the same thing, aspecting every planet on the Cardinal cross and indeed many others scattered in the early degrees of numerous signs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mars in Gemini and Saturn in Libra making a trine to each other. The trine aspect, which is 120 degrees or a third of the circle, tells us right away that we have an interaction between two planets occupying signs of the same element, in this case air (which in classical astrology is generally masculine, yang or upward moving). In psychological astrology air is mental, expressive, moved by ideas and a bit unstable. And they like change. Mars energy is very much like using a blade — that pointy thing sticking up tells you you’re dealing with a sharp object. It can be an extremely useful tool to have around but not one you want to whip out, say, at the office, or in a bar (however, this does happen). What you do with that knife is important; the knife is neutral and the intention that drives it is anything but neutral.<\/p>\n

Saturn adds some maturity to the equation. Rather than just cutting things down to size, Saturn separates things according to their function within a certain pre-conceived structure. The structure Saturn is now working with is very new and possibly still fragile. Remember the rough-cut gem symbol<\/a> for the eclipse degree? Since the eclipse, you may have been getting subtle signals, whether in dreams or synchronicities, of a new structure which is trying to emerge. This may have begun even before the eclipse and is now culminating.<\/p>\n

If you’re tempted to begin taking on the role of gem cutter and making a bold slice of some kind in your life, I suggest you do this first only as a thought experiment. Try to imagine what any kind of cut or separation will look like. More important, imagine what options this will leave you. Most important, imagine if this reveals or smooths anything inherent and fundamental which was previously hidden.<\/p>\n

The mentally-driven energy of today is somewhat in contrast to the overall astrological climate which is pretty moist and nurturing. So if you really tune into this energy and start sorting things out on a mental basis, you’ll want to be conscious, careful and considerate, because contrasting energies can have a powerful reaction when brought together. If on the other hand you feel some kind of separation come your way today, don\u2019t let it bother you too much. Look for what it reveals in the overall picture. The sky is a big adventure right now, so if you move with awareness, you can feel positive — just remember to feel, and to empathize, if you discover your mind is running away with you, or if you feel tempted to judge anyone.<\/p>\n
