If you\u2019ve been having a tense week, you\u2019re not alone. Numerous factors have been contributing to this sensation, not least of which is this morning\u2019s Full Moon in Pisces (exact just before 7:13 am EDT). With several aspects this week involving water signs, chances are you\u2019ve been feeling everything much more acutely, and it can be hard to figure out how to respond to and work with the energy rather than react out of hand.<\/p>\n

Also shown (from top right): Venus, Saturn and the lunar North Node in Scorpio; Mercury in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer (bottom of chart); Ceres and Vesta in Virgo opposite Neptune and Chiron in Pisces; South Node in Taurus; and Nessus in Aquarius (which is quincunx, or one sign off from an opposition to, the Sun).

The conjunction between Venus and Saturn in Scorpio was exact yesterday, so any intensity associated with that should be easing up. Did you encounter new information or insights that had previously been hidden to you? (Scorpio has a secretive flavor.) If so, what do you do now with what you\u2019ve learned from those mysterious inner depths?<\/p>\n

The Full Moon\u2019s sense of interpersonal tension is likely still working itself out, as you dance between options. Remember that the Virgo-Pisces axis is partly about integrating rational thought with emotion, attention to detail with the big picture; practical or technical skill with imagination and intuition. <\/p>\n

From both sides of the duality, there is a form of \u2018looking ahead\u2019 that can be tapped into. For sure, there is great value in being fully present in whatever you are feeling in the moment. We all need an outlet, though, and sometimes leaping into action isn\u2019t the most productive choice. <\/p>\n

If you can engage the step-by-step planning and organizing abilities of the Sun in Virgo at the same time that you harness the visioning and dreaming powers of Pisces (or perhaps alternate between the two), you might find yourself making a kind of progress without storming the wrong castle (such as your own).<\/p>\n

Given that the Sun is in its final days of Virgo, you might experience some edginess as you begin the weekend. It\u2019s a common sensation as the Sun prepares to leave any sign, though signs that end seasons bring a stronger sense of impending transition. It might feel something like limbo. Especially if the weather where you are feels like it belongs to the next season rather than the one finishing, the psychological urge to start the next thing or phase intensifies. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Between now and the equinox (the Sun ingresses Libra at 4:44 pm EDT Sunday), which begins autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern, we have one more major-planet aspect involving a water sign adding its own flavor of tension to the mix. Mercury in Libra is square Jupiter in Cancer, exact at 10:20 pm EDT Thursday.<\/p>\n

Mercury kicked off the week by activating the Uranus-Pluto square and a minor planet called Typhon, related to typhoons and a sea monster. We saw this reflected in the Navy Yard shooting, the typhoon in Japan and catastrophic flooding in Colorado. All of it is a reminder not to underestimate the speediest, smallest planet. It is, after all, closest to the Sun, which powers our entire solar system.<\/p>\n

Mercury square Jupiter, like all squares, is a kind of tension you will likely feel internally as an urge to act — specifically, the tendency to overstate or exaggerate things based on your emotions. There\u2019s nothing wrong with being optimistic about the planning and visioning you\u2019re doing — if you believe it, you can do it. But notice if your mind jumps between specific details and the big picture, and how you\u2019re feeling about it. Your feelings hold valuable information in these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
