Excessive?"},"content":{"rendered":"

After yesterday\u2019s New Moon in Libra, there\u2019s the potential for major excess as we all shoot out of the gate today. New Moons generally offer new starts to personal cycles. This New Moon-Eris opposition likely stirred some genuine discontent or tension in your negotiations between your Self (in its many facets) and your intimate relationships (with their expectations and perceptions). Be aware today that any urges to restart in earnest come with a warning label, courtesy of a T-square between Venus, Jupiter and Pholus.<\/p>\n

Simplified chart section showing Venus (blue female symbol) in Virgo square Jupiter (orange ‘H’) in Gemini. Mercury (green glyph with horns) is about to be conjoined by the Moon in Scorpio. Pholus (green golf tee) in Sagittarius is making a mutable T-squre with Venus and Jupiter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Venus in mid-Virgo squares retrograde Jupiter in Gemini exactly at 7:34 pm EDT today. That aspect alone tends toward extravagance, overdoing and over-expanding in all things sensual and material, regardless of sign. Eric has noted before that Jupiter in Gemini alone equals \u201cmoving forward in all directions.\u201d It\u2019s a handful — or three. Venus in Virgo, despite often imparting a desire to serve, can also be overly critical in love. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Pholus carries the key phrase, \u201csmall cause, big effect.\u201d In Sagittarius, a sign ruled by Jupiter, its potential is magnified. <\/p>\n

The message? Whatever BIG relationship changes you feel you just have<\/em> to make, or declarations of love (or dissatisfactions therewith) you just have<\/em> to say, or other emotional\/relational\/material stuff just dying<\/em> to happen right now: juuuust chiiiiilllll<\/em> for a couple days. Excess has the tendency to be especially excessive today. That\u2019s not to say you should not do or say any of what is pressing to be done or said at all, or ever. You might, however, consider it very carefully from several angles, and bounce it off a few friends till the sense of pressure subsides some.<\/p>\n

Consider one last player in the mix: Mercury in Scorpio, right there in the same degree as Venus and Jupiter (Pholus is technically one degree off from the others, but don\u2019t tell him that; he doesn\u2019t care much for precision once the cork gets popped). <\/p>\n

Mercury is sextile Venus; water sign to earth sign, it\u2019s a very flowing and supportive aspect. Mercury is also quincunx Jupiter. A quincunx is one sign off from an opposition, giving a kind of tension that urges continual adjustment. It can feel a little prickly. And although Mercury and Venus offer some ease, in the current configuration, the trick is to be sure it\u2019s enabling the flow conscious relationship dialogue, not a stream of criticism (of self or other).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mercury in Scorpio reminds us that all these urges are coming from someplace deep. We\u2019re feeling our thoughts deeply and thinking our feelings deeply, and our words have the power to dig or cut deeply if we don\u2019t take a breath and use a little reflection and restraint. This is especially true in situations where there\u2019s sexual energy. Sex is already intense, often in delicious ways, but also often with baggage. (Incidentally, the Moon in Scorpio will conjoin Mercury shortly after Venus squares Jupiter. If your emotional body was not feeling this before, it likely will once the Moon enters the conversation.)<\/p>\n

Nothing says \u2018unnecessarily excessive\u2019 like excess. So what\u2019s the essence of whatever it is you\u2019re bursting to say or do? If you take time to distill it to its simplest form, what do you actually need to begin this week?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
