Good Morning!
Today, the Moon remains in Capricorn. The Moon sextiles Neptune in Pisces until 5:27pm (MST). Capricorn Moon gives us an ability to respond to the world from a sober, practical and responsible way. This may be useful at this Venus retrograde in Scorpio time when our emotions around relationship may feel exceptionally sensitive and perhaps volatile. The sextile between the Moon and Neptune allows us to feel a more compassionate and empathetic response to others. This is useful for helping us to learn to ‘go with the flow’ and accept life while softening the sometimes cool Capricorn Moon response energy and preventing us from caving to the overly emotional nature of Neptune in Pisces.
The Moon conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn for the remainder of the night. This is a very powerful time for getting in touch with the Truth of any matter. Pluto in Capricorn wants to help us transform the structures and goals in our lives which no longer serve us. It can also help us transform our relationship to our personal authority; helping us to lead a more authentic life.
Mercury in Scorpio conjuncts Venus retrograde today at 2:20pm (MST). This is an important transit as Mercury will be receiving information from Venus as she is traveling retrograde through Scorpio. Venus rules relationships, our values, tastes, personal self worth, possessions, money and our creative expression. Mercury rules communication, thoughts and ideas. Today, expect understanding and conversation about relationships, especially past ones, which can shed new light on an old problem and show us how we feel towards others.This is not a light energy and requires that we go deep in order to heal.
From CafeAstrology.com regarding Venus retrograde, “Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. This can be a good time for “eyes wide open” or experimental dating, although opinions and assessments may change at a later date. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to “complete” them. Some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. We may, however, be especially in touch with our deeper, less obvious, and less superficial needs and wants. This makes it a good time for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends on November 16th, and better yet, beyond the shadow phase as well (after December 17th). Our perceptions may be skewed, and we can come out of the retrograde cycle with regret if we’ve acted hastily, as the tendency to change our minds later is strong.”
As Venus is retrograding in Scorpio, we are being given the opportunity to re-asses what and who we value. We may be discovering what we truly desire in relationship. We also may be facing our ‘shadow’; those parts of ourselves hidden in our unconscious which we or others have identified as unacceptable and operate from an unconscious place within us. This is a time of reconnecting with those aspects to transform them; bringing them to light and incorporate them into our being. These aspects of ourselves may be hidden gifts or parts of ourselves which control us unconsciously (usually fear based patterns) and are expressed as the desire to posses, control or manipulate and compulsion which require ‘letting go’ in order to heal and re-incorporate into our power.
Make it a great day!
