Heads Up From Elsa P: January 19, 2012 - Mars Retrograde and the New Moon in Aquarius
Published: Thu, 01/19/12
I mention this up
front so you know it's coming, though on Thursday and Friday the Moon is
in Sagittarius and people are going to want to move. I wish I could say
they might do so unimpeded but there is a stellium in Capricorn that
puts a check on everything.
The Moon also takes
hard aspects from Venus and Mars, though things clear up Friday
afternoon if you have a date. The Moon leaves Capricorn for Aquarius on
Friday as well, which lightens things up as well.
The
Moon conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn on Saturday, sobering people right
up. On the upside, there is a sextile aspect from exalted Venus in
Pisces and a trine from Jupiter which should offer a way to transcend
feelings of despair if they come up for you.
Sunday,
the Moon conjuncts Mercury in Capricorn and people think about their
security. The Moon and Mercury square Jupiter and Saturn so this is an
excellent time to plan (Saturn) for your future (Jupiter). This is
a marvelous prelude to Monday's New Moon in Aquarius which provides an excellent opportunity to begin something new, intended to free you.
Tuesday,
the Moon in Aquarius catches support from Saturn in Libra as it conjuncts
Neptune and most will feel better. Note that Jupiter is squaring the
Sun in Aquarius so think about giving people space and taking some
yourself. This is also the day Mars turns retrograde, so consider
detaching (Aquarius) and not pushing yourself or others as we
transition.
We close out the week with the Moon
in Pisces conjunct Neptune and Chiron. This is a leaky, weepy
conjunction so don't be surprised if you feel ultra sensitive. Movies
are a good outlet for Neptune. Keep in mind it's possible to feel good
when you access collective emotion because there is plenty of love out
there, always.
If you want to talk about these issues or anything else, please schedule a phone appointment or contact me for an email consult.
