When the Moon Hits Your Eye Like a Big Pizza Pie—That’s Amore!
We are leading up to the new moon in Libra on Thursday, the 19th, and this week is about love, relationships, harmony and justice.
It’s all about the sun and moon.
The moon in Virgo is trine Pluto in Capricorn—a lot about work, responsibility, and grounded emotions, power and changes. Virgo is about working hard, cleanliness, nutrition, health, and paying attention to details. The moon is about comfort, home, family, mother and emotions. This could relate to cleaning the house, working hard, feeling comfortable in the home and feeling healthy and well nourished. Connected to Pluto at a highly positive angle brings in change or rebirth – possibly remodeling the home, or major changes in the family. Pluto in Capricorn also connects to the boss, the government, big business affecting the emotions or the “home” –house, home country, home team—extremely favorably—possibly through support or providing something you need to be comfortable in your work, or having a positive effect on home and family issues.
The moon, however, is square to Saturn in Sagittarius. Possibly emotional connections to small details, being organized, doing things in a specific way are being stressed or challenged by delays or restrictions regarding legal issues, international matters, or important responsibilities or work needing to be done.
The sun is in Libra trine to Saturn, though, and it offers an opportunity with a positive outcome – that a focus on friendships, relationships, working harmoniously with others can help with the restrictions or delays in those legal matters or responsibilities, work needing to be done or international concerns. It pays to have friends who may have connections that help make things happen, and overcome delays or limitations related to taking care of the home or family.
The moon moves into Libra, bringing in emotional connections to friends, partners and relationships. Possibly feeling comfortable with them. Could be a sense of harmony or balance that affects our feelings of comfort.
Mercury moves into Scorpio and mercury is conjunct to Jupiter. Mercury rules communication, local travel, agreements, teaching, learning, selling. In Scorpio, there is a sense of keeping things under cover. Smooth on the surface with issues hidden below—so possibly telling (mercury) secrets (scorpio), or hearing about secrets, news about secrets or things happening that have been covered up and kept hidden. Jupiter also helps bring up deeply hidden secrets. Jupiter expands things out into and beyond the world we are familiar with, and Mercury tells the news, communicates what has been hidden.
The moon (feelings, emotion and comfort) is connected to Venus in Libra (Love and harmony with friends and partners). Mars is close enough in Virgo to be considered conjunct. Mars in Virgo can be looking at the details, which brings up feelings of love – venus. Mars is passionate, impulsive, wants to take action and can strengthen the feelings of love inside of—a feeling of being at home with someone that stirs up the passions or the desire to take action, be romantic—particularly in a way that takes into account the littlest details. Like organizing a proposal of marriage that has all the details figured out so as to touch the emotions.
Today the moon is in Libra square to Pluto. This could mean that feelings of friendship, partnership, feeling at home with other people is being hindered by government, the boss, changes in the workplace or major changes in responsibility or who’s in charge. Positive partnerships or relationships—and harmony among people—could possibly be changed or disrupted based on a government or authority figure making changes of who is responsible for something or who is in charge of something important.
Mercury is conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio—again, more secrets coming out into the world, in the news, in what people are saying to each other, in research or investigation that digs deep through investigation, questioning, interviewing, conversations, or the news. This could be a big secret, a big surprise.
The sun in Libra is sextile Saturn in Sagittarius—so a focus on justice, harmony and balance, or on partnership and others, provides an opportunity to build something at a higher level. OR it could also represent working responsibly to build something slowly and deliberately that could have international, legal, educational or spiritual/philosophical implications and could possibly bring a positive sense of harmony, balance and relationship or partnership with others.
