The Moon Feels and Other Transits

Saturday 6th July 2024

NOTE: I am experiencing audio issues. I have redone the audio and all seemed well until the last 2 minutes when those issues showed up again. I can’t figure it out, but the text below can be followed for the full context at the end. Hopefully I can make sense of the audio situation for tomorrow.

The Moon today will travel through the sign of cardinal water Cancer and enter fixed fire Leo in the early hours of Sunday

The first aspect today is Venus in Cancer making a square to Chiron in Aries. This is the value systems in the Cancer field of home and how Venus feels herself to be acknowledged as her unique self and where she can feel that her needs and wants are met. She will be realising the changes that are needed within her family system and during her stay in Cancer is immersed in the creation of harmonious relationships that serve her new sense of self. In this square, we are reminded of Venus' phasal relationship to Chiron in Aries. We are also reminded of the eclipse window of April 2024 and the subsequent growth and change that Venus has experienced. Venus made her conjunction to Chiron on 22nd April at 21 degrees.

OPTIMISM AS A LIFE PATH
Abundance arising as a result of trust​
"Optimism, synergy, sharing and abundance as life principles"

Contrasting the fighter's harsh, lonely path a softer way is open to those who share rather than compete. The benefits of synergy are then highly significant and the promise of great abundance is fulfilled. A further benefit is achieved – the development of an attitude of optimism and expectation of success.

​Rudhyar: 
THE GATE TO THE GARDEN OF ALL FULFILLED DESIRES

Venus in this first quarter square then, is reminded to seek and operate from a place of trust that her needs will be met, her desires fulfilled, that she will be related to in a way that reflects her own open and sharing optimism that all will be well. The most fruitful way for this to happen is to share herself in her best optimistic nature that what she yearns for, will be received and to know that she is 'met' in the ways that most serve her life. In order for Venus to be reminded of this fundamental aspect of trust in her nature, she may experience a moment of doubt or resistance. If she can just remember the principles of life, as described for this degree of Aries, any sense of feeling that her needs will not be met can be replaced by trust, where she can expect the best. This crisis of action square calls her to 'act as if' even if she feels a moment of doubt, and to use that action to pull her through the moment and break the tension within herself.

Then the Moon in Cancer, makes a trine to Saturn in Pisces. There is a symbiotic emotionally sensitive resonance between the Moon at home in Cancer, of cardinally subjective felt experience; Mother and Child relationships and family dynamics and the softer, receptive parental figure of Saturn in Pisces. There is a mutual accommodation, receptiveness; resonance. These are waters of peace unrestricted. Of relationships that remember the spiritual connection to one another; soul family. It feels as if there are great possibilities here in this trine for a flow of deep understanding between the Moon and Saturn.

The Moon then makes a sextile to Mars in Taurus. Cardinal water supported by fixed earth. Subjective felt experience of family and home, with an opportunity to remember and use the energy of the gentle warrior; peaceful warrior, to assert on ones own behalf in advocacy for how each individual is valued and needed in the family dynamic. Mars as the activating masculine principle in Taurus, can feel the warmth and support of those who love him as he forges into new territory and establishes new growth; for love of home and family. He is warmed and nourished by this sextile.

The Moon makes a square to Chiron. As crisis of action, this square reminds the Moon to actively reconnect to the 'shaping power of higher forces.'

Aries 24 (23°- 24°)

THE SHAPING POWER OF HIGHER FORCES
Allowing spiritual energies to inspire and impress us
"Allowing higher forces to shape our lives"

When we grasp the essential spiritual principle of Three-ness we open up to further inspired input of a spiritual dimension. We first master the secret of the yang/yin/Tao triplicity - push, pushback, adjust - and then allow the higher aspects of being-ness to impact upon our inspiration to expand our claim of abundance. 

Rudhyar:
​BLOWN INWARD BY THE WIND, THE CURTAINS OF AN OPEN WINDOW TAKE THE SHAPE OF A CORNUCOPIA.

This was the degree point of the Moon Chiron conjunction on 29th June; 7 days ago. Just as for Venus, the Moon is reminded to trust in the higher forces moving through her life, which shape and guide and inspire this healing of her self identity as a unique individual; to heal her self worth. The Moon can know that despite all the misgivings she may possess about her own capabilities, she is imbued with a faith greater than her own and can lean on that purpose and meaning today in this square. Just as for Venus, there is a sense of trust and faith and meaningful process. Home is where the heart is and the heart of the home (the individual within) is being healed of self doubt; at a subjective level.

The Moon then makes a conjunction to Venus in Cancer. They have both connected with Chiron today by square and a call to actively stand by themselves, to trust that life is unfolding just as it should and to step up on behalf of self in those moments when they need to push through a sense of woundedness. This is a healing day for Venus and the Moon.

HARMONISATION
Harmonious relationships occur only when we reconcile intellectual, emotional and spiritual realities within ourselves
"Harmonious blending of all aspects of self"

The emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of personality need to be held in harmonious accord if there is to be sustainable, balanced joy throughout life. In each moment a new reality is emerging, and for us to create the best outcome we have to bring these forces of our being into blended interdependent relationship, then in turn our relationships with people will blend into harmony.

Rudhyar:
A WOMAN AND TWO MEN CASTAWAYS ON A SMALL ISLAND OF THE SOUTH SEAS

The Moon makes a sextile to Uranus in Taurus. Supportive of the changes within the Moon in a deep subjective sense. Uranus awakens and brings sudden insights, and the Moon picks these up intuitively. It's a feeling that follows an 'aha' moment of a personal revelatory nature. Changing personal values internally experienced by the Moon in this sextile. This feels like the pushing through the healing moments with Chiron, now meet this moment that was always going to be waiting. This is an awakening moment to something; a knowing, that things will never quite be as they were, and it's exciting.

Much later in the nighttime hours, the Moon makes a trine to Neptune in Pisces. So I'm expecting that dreams, if remembered will be fruitful and confirmative of this deep inner change. It's worth writing down ones dreams to bring to consciousness fully that which was unconscious before today.

Just minutes after this trine to Neptune, the Moon enters fixed fire Leo. There is a buoyancy of self recognition, as the Moon enters Leonine energies for the next two days.

It's been a lot of astrological aspect connections throughout the day, which have related to self and family and healing of the individual, all culminating in deep inner changes that propel a sense of awakening to new realisations.

Until tomorrow, Much Love
