Moon Week Gemini thru Leo

We are waxing into an eclipse cycle; this moon that is building will be the full moon and lunar eclipse on the 14th in Virgo. So as the energy builds realize there is a reason and purpose. Even casual action this week is going to have consequence that is almost immediate. Especially early in the week with those that have Air sign placements; Libra, Aquarius and Gemini. We should all know where our moon is at. ItÕs the second hand on your astral clock. At the bottom of this column is a link in the ÔKnow your chart!Ó blurb. ItÕs astro.com. Watching the moon is the best way to get to know your chart.


Monday
Moon in Gemini


Moon in Gemini and the words are flying. Especially on this waxing moon we have plenty to say. This is the way we normally view Gemini, but there is also a heightened sense of really hearing and not just listening to whatÕs going on. How you hear someone is more about you then them. Whether itÕs a lecture or just an old friend telling that same old story there is something new there for you. This can be powerful listening to what should be repetitive information and getting an entirely different message from it. Especially in bodies of knowledge that mean a lot to us like yoga, the mantic arts, history, healing arts. We often have to confront the large amounts of information it takes to master some of these fields many times before they sink in. The higher our capacity to hear the deeper the listening goes. So notice today when your eyes glaze over and the mind wants to wander, make it a dharana and pull it back, be intuitive to voice tone, body language and rhythm of speech. These are more important than the words being expressed.

Tuesday
Moon void of course 8:09am
Moon into Cancer 2:39pm



The sizzle that began the week slides away today and we dip into Cancer. Now in the cardinal sign of water the emotions and sensitivity take over. All the b.s. from the last few days will come to bare now as we have to walk that talk. Make it a lesson to be more careful with the guarantees and commitments the next time the moon is in Gemini. ItÕs so easy to say, Ôsure IÕll come by your showÕ, or ÔI Ôd love to help clean up after the eventÕ. Then the day comes and youÕre in the ÔWhat was I thinking?Õ mindset. This powerful moon has also the ability to dredge up the areas that need maintenance in our worlds, physical, mental and emotional. So instead of bemoaning those aches, pains and mental strains be glad that you arenÕt dead to them and you have the sensitivity. Like the Ôfix meÕ lights on the dashboard being reminded of maintenance is only good if you heed it. So if possible take some time out for good food, basic life and nurture yourself and others. The arenas that the Cancer moon highlights are integral to our every day pace of living, if we do not keep them vibrant and healthy you begin living down to the level of your wounds instead of rising to the energy of your virtues.

Wednesday
Moon in Cancer

ItÕs international womenÕs day. Seldom to made up holidays work. There could be international womenÕs year and it still wouldnÕt catch up to the overlooked contribution of women to our world. Take it a step further and use today with the moon in the powerful sign of Cancer to actualize the feminine aspect we all have as a component of our being. From the nurturing kind and selfless mother energy to the powerful tiger defending territory there is a lot of it to explore. Give some love and conscious acknowledgement out to the women in your life. Without women none of us are here. The moon trines Uranus today also in a water sign, Pisces, giving today a revolutionary tinge. There are infinite ways to deal with our emotional realms. Even if your issues are decades old and seemingly carved in your bones there is the possibility to elevate and shift, dealing with the deep intimate worlds in new ways. Often a little creativity in these arenas goes a long way and even gentle shifts free up so much energy we wonder why we hesitated before.

Thursday
Moon in Cancer
Moon void of course 12:41pm PST
Sun trine Jupiter 5:14am PST
This is the last day of the Cancer transit, most of the tears have flowed through by now. What did come up? There is a Sun trine Jupiter today so the energy is there to elevate your world. It takes shit to grow lotus blossoms and every disaster looks like art when it's over. Ride this afternoon on the void of course moon, see the carpet of issues as a unending lesson. Really we all just have the same issues that keep changing clothes like paper dolls. The moon is trining the Sun, Jupiter and Mercury today also so there is no excuse not to try out the envigorated, inspirational you that's been bubbling up. When we're down the direction to head is always clear. Today is a time to take it and don't look back.

Friday
Moon into Leo 1:42am PST
Venus opposition Saturn 11:32pm PST
The moon heads into the sign of the lion, stirring up passions and giving us a boost of energy that we've really needed this week. The sign of Leo is about the heart or anahatta chakra. Not just love in the earthly sense but the source of passion, the fuel behind a love for life. Leo natives are great at parties for this reason, being present and showering that energy on all around, charming by way of just channeling the divine spark. Yeah they like to look in the mirror but love loves love. There is activity between Venus and Saturn today, with help from the moon. Time to put a moral and beautiful top spin onto the physical plane. Where is the crustiest part of your life? Can you fill it with a little zest even through it looks hopeless and just experiment? Using the opposition of Venus and Saturn can be tricky. Sometimes it feels like either or, that is abject reality or subjective dreaminess. It can blend the two and this is what our world needs most. So start with the most mundane parts of your life and infuse them with some of that beauty in every moment Venusian energy. Like taking a pee; can be an unconscious act, frustrated you even had to go, thinking about what you need to do. OR you can sink into the glory of being a mammal, take the few minutes to have a couple of breaths with yourself, realize that no matter what you're trying to accomplish or endure you still have to pee. It can be a great check in several times a day, claiming what had been an unconscious act and turning it into a puja and blessing.

KNOW YOUR CHART! The Sun sign is just a tiny bit of everyone's astrology, you can get a free chart at astro.com and get to know where your moon, sun ect are. They also have a great legend for the symbols of the zodiak and very clear definition of basic terms. Plus we just think that Liz Greene is the dope as far as living astrology writers.
