Briefly,

The Moon is in Scorpio, troublesome for some, but then, some of us have to live with it.  This particular Moon in Scorpio winds up on Saturday by making a square to Neptune, which is retrograde.  What this means is,  decisions you make for the next 36 hours may look great, but will end up falling apart,  rolling back on themselves, or simply being sandcastles.  There is the illusion of stability.  It's a good couple of days to NOT spend money or do anything that you want to turn out well without deception.

Moon & Saturn

We are still under the thumb of a T square involving Saturn, the planet of established consensus, Uranus, the iconoclast and Pluto the revealer.  The T square creates imbalance and friction, thus, energy.  Tomorrow the Moon [function and development] will join up with Saturn, so expect to hear "no" a lot.   Expect obstacles and a feeling of heaviness in relationships and/or cooperation.  This slow down comes at a good time, after a time of frustration and cross communication, before a time of cloudy motivation.  Use it to focus your intentions and be aware of what motivates the intentions you are focusing.

The last few weeks.

I decided that I wasn't going to get back to posting during the retrograde Mercury even though it's supposed to be a good time to get back to things you have let drop.  There were too many other messes and piles to clean up and go through, but I'll bet you experienced that too. There has been a formation coming and going over the last bit of time that has created frustration for the easy flow of getting needs met, having aims achieved or  moving forward in any way.  We aren't going to be allowed to move forward without carefully examined motives during this time.  Pushing is always a possibility, but there are consequences for that.
This new Moon gives us a couple of weeks to reset our intentions and be clear about the direction we are trying to take, but more importantly, what is behind it, what is the motivation.

True Sun Sign

Every so often, someone trained in Astronomy who knows zippety doo dah about Astrology, but figures that's only a detail, comes up with this same tired approach to refute how Astrology is used.  We astrologers are  not so dim and ignorant that we don't know that the heavens have shifted, but the Astrology of the West [as contrasted with Vedic] doesn't rely on the actual position of the zodiac.  It is figured based on the seasons.  0 degrees of Aries is the Vernal equinox.  Astronomically, that's somewhere closer to 7 degrees of Pisces, but that doesn't make someone who is born on March 25th a Pisces.  They are still an Aries.  I will leave Astrophysics alone, and continue to have a respect for all the study and work that goes into learning that discipline.  I wish they'd do the same for us.

time vs choice

I have not posted, not because nothing was going on, but quite the reverse.
Venus retrograde, then Mercury, then eclipses, Big outer planets changing signs all at once, then backing up as though they had changed their minds, and then once again going into the next phase.  I noticed people all around me, and felt it in myself too, of course, a distinct lack of willingness to cooperate during the retrograde Venus.  Retrograde Mercury is so frequent that most non astrologers who are paying attention even a little bit notice the resonance of that.  It has been a good push forward, all in all.
We have now passed a couple of eclipses and are deluged with an energy asking of us that we pick up the pieces and put them into coherent order.  The pot stirrers are busy, fear is abroad and it is more important than ever to see past the idea of a personal threat to a cooperative solution, to notice that we are all connected and need each other.

Mars has gone direct after what seems like a very long time. All those holding patterns are breaking up and after the coming New Moon, growth will begin again. The energy will anticipate spring, but first there's cleaning up to do. Congratulate yourselves for dumping old habits, now, keep them dumped.

The Moon is about to enter Capricorn, and as it does, it creates and adjustment, stress, head cold type of aspect to Mars, the planet of action. This creates reflects anxiety about new directions, and a need to slow down. The energy is consolidating, and not at an even pace. To keep centered, be willing to handle the minutiae of this week
