Today the Moon remains in idealistic Pisces until later this evening. And while her interaction with Mars later this morning could have us energized though maybe also agitated or upset, it’s the Harvest Moon Lunar Eclipse just past the Noon hour that highlights our day and weekend, as well as affecting how we react on the emotional and subconscious level in the weeks ahead.
The focal point of the eclipse chart, a Full Moon on steroids, is the tension between the Sun in earthy Virgo, the Moon in watery Pisces, and Mars in fiery Sagittarius. Here we have a conflict, and the need to find a balance, between the mental, the practical and efficient, and feelings, emotion, and intuition. With Chiron the Wounded Healer in Pisces also in the mix, this can be as much about deep insecurities, and confronting unconscious, even irrational fears and anxieties. In addition, the Mars in Sagittarius component can be a powerful expression of anger, even prejudice (negative Sagittarian energy), projected ( a flawed Pisces quality) onto others.
As we can see, this is so much of what is being played out in our society today. and eclipses usually have more to do with the larger collective than the personal. Yet if in any way the above challenges relate to your life circumstances, endeavor to do some self awareness work, as well as the emotional healing required to create a healthier state of mental and physical well being.
On the positive side of the eclipse, there are two very productive and helpful planetary configurations that will awaken and encourage changes that need taking place on both the broader, social scale, as well as the personal.
First, there’s an interaction between Mercury and Pluto , two planets soon to be stationary in the sky above in Earth signs Virgo and Capricorn. This combination will give us the ability to probe deeply, to uproot what exists beneath the surface, to insightfully process and intelligently communicate with others about what you see now presently before you. Understanding and stating truth is very powerful at this time as well.
In addition, there’s a strong contact between Mars and Uranus in Fire signs Sagittarius and Aries. Here the need for independence, to break free, to march to one’s own drummer, can be initiated. On a larger scale, the Warrior impulse gives the courage to speak truth, to take the initiative for justice, to work for the common good, while illuminating new ways of harnessing positive energy for the future.
On a personal and present level, the Mars/Uranus combination effective over the next couple of days can light a spark underneath us that is both exciting and energizing. Take advantage of this opportunity to get out and do something different, to enjoy music and sporting activities, and to be a participant as much as a spectator.
In fact, getting out, being active, and taking the initiative will come naturally, as the Moon moves into extroverted Aries later this evening, and will stay there pretty much all weekend. And as being spontaneous and impulsive could also be part of the equation, have fun with your childlike self, but don’t do anything foolish.
This is especially true regarding relationships, as on Saturday and Sunday Venus, the Goddess of Love and Romance in affectionate Libra, interacts with unpredictable Uranus in impulsive Aries. It’s as if someone new and exciting comes upon the scene, a person different or out of the ordinary, that you immediately become attracted to.. Anything you initiate at this time will likely be short lived, so be alert to this reality.
Also occurring later this weekend and into Monday is a very harmonious contact between Venus and Mars that can bring romance and sexuality into your life. For folks in a healthy and compatible relationship, this is an opportunity to add a bit of pizzaz to your weekend, to bring sparkle to our Sunday, and express affection energetically.
Use the Pisces Lunar Eclipse to more deeply connect with your feelings and emotions, and the Moon in Aries energy to add warmth and joy to your weekend.
