    The Libra New Moon

    Welcome back to who my cosmos. I’m talking about the Libra New Moon. That is this Saturday, October 10th, 2026 in the morning at like 9:50 Mountain time.Libra is ruled by Venus, and Venus is currently retrograde. Venus is the ruler of both Libra and Taurus. And it expresses itself through those two signs in very different ways. And in Libra, it is bringing our attention to the other, right? Our awareness of others is very highlighted in Libra. And our awareness of what would bring harmony around us to others is very highlighted. And the Libra New Moon pretty much means that the sun and the moon are together in the same moment, in the same degree point. And so really it’s about this snapshot of awareness of others. With the planet that rules Libra retrograde, we’re meant to be in this deep review of our relationships with others. Currently during the new moon that Venus, that ruler of Libra is in the sign of Scorpio, which is the sign after Libra, the sign that’s also about our relationships with others, just the intimacy of those relationships. Venus is the ruler of this new moon and Libra. There is this opportunity to become very, very aware of how we show up in relationship to others. We have Saturn in Aries- the polarity sign of Libra. They’re not directly opposing each other, but they are in polarity to each other. And that Saturn in Aries has been trying to get us to focus on our self discipline . It’s about, okay, I’m learning about what I need. And this is an opportunity to really check in with how I show up in my relationship with others. It’s really because Venus is retrograde, it has to be about our awareness of how we have shown up in the past, right, what we have done in the past in our relationships with others, what patterns, what cycles have surfaced. At this point in Venus retrograde, especially because it’s going to keep going backward in Scorpio and then hit Libra and get to about 20 degrees of Libra by the time it’s ready to go direct again come November 13th. So this is a whole Venusian cozy up with your cup of tea, and let’s chat about what has been transpiring in our relationships for years and years, right? This is that mirror opportunity. Everything that’s happening during the Venus retrograde is an opportunity for us to check in and be honest with ourselves around, have we seen this behavior before? We could have literal people coming back into our lives or resurfacing in our memory, having us question who was I then? Who was I with that person?What pattern was I in with that person, and how is that showing up maybe still with that person, that or how is the archetype of that person showing up in my present life through a different person, right? Because this Venus retrograde Libra New Moon, it is that checking in point. It is this call to stop, take a deep breath, close our eyes, open our eyes again, and look around us, and allow whoever is around us to reflect something significant about our past, as well as how far we’ve come. And if we’re still choosing the garbage of the past. If we’re still choosing the patterns that are toxic, that never worked out for us in the past, and are they doing that now, right? We have to ask ourselves these questions during this Libra New moon with that Venus retrograde, especially because Venus is forming a square to Mars. So Mars is currently in the fiery fixed sign of Leo and Mars. And Leo is a very proud Mars, right? This planet of taking action and doing it, it wants to feel proud of what it’s doing. It wants to feel confident in what it’s doing. It wants to feel seen and recognized in what it’s doing. So with the square to Venus and Scorpio retrograde, we’re being called to acknowledge that it doesn’t feel easy to feel confident right now, right? Scorpio Energy brings up our deeper emotional terrain, the stuff we don’t want to look at, the subconscious stuff, the stuff that keeps you up at night, right. And maybe the insecurities that are there. The part you that maybe doesn’t, feel what that Mars and Leo really wants to be embodying. And so the square between Venus and Mars-so Venus representing the feminine receptivity, our ability to attract and receive, and then Mars is the masculine ability to take action and to do. And so together they need each otherIt’s like the Yin and the yang, it’s, do, do & I need to receive, I need to take action, and I need to rest, right? There’s these energies that need each other with Mars and Venus. And when they’re squaring each other, they’re both kind of screaming at each other. And so it’s not easy to access what each of them needs. So with Venus retrograde in Scorpio squaring Mars in Leo, we have to look at, you know, does it feel as hard as it feels to embody that confidence that Mars and Leo wants to embody because of what happened in my past? Because I’m still carrying the values and the expectations that others projected onto me as a child, as a young person? Am I still replaying those tapes from my past and allowing them to convince me that they’re actually a video of now, right, a video of this present moment?And so we have to be sort of wrestling questions, and wrestling is, is the of a square. It’s like, which win? And at the end of the day, because this is a new moon in Libra, we’re meant to harmonize. We’re meant to allow for Venus and Mars to find the divine lubrication that they need in order to give and receive to each other, in order to allow for each other to exist and be embodied and have a need, and realize that no one is more important than the other. So it’s not an easy task when there’s a square. But because it is a new moon in Libra, there’s a lot of Venusian energy. The Scorpio Energy-It’s been through so much. It believes on some level that it has to be hard. But at the highest expression of Scorpio, it knows that we can take that hard energy and alchemize it into the energy of ease. And so that’s why at the new moon every month, I record a guided meditation and energy healing release practice for you. Because it is a time to release what is no longer serving, so that you can move forward with more Grace and more ease. I encourage you to check that out if you are feeling the intensity of the fixed square, during this new moon and leading up to it. So just taking a really deep breath, just giving that to yourself right now, just giving yourself that deep breath, acknowledging whatever you’ve been going through. Because this new moon energy is so outward focused. It’s so focused on what’s outside of us, what is expected of us. And we can really get lost to that. We can really find ourselves in it. There’s another planet that’s an Aries, which is the polarity sign of Libra, the planet Neptune, right, this planet of dreams, this planet of coming out of illusion and into what’s real, Neptune that connects us with our higher self, the spiritual. This Neptune is in that sign of Aries, representing our own personal dream, our ability to manifest our dreams in this lifetime. This Neptune and Aries is squaring Black Moon, Lilith in Capricorn. So it is a Cardinal Square and Capricorn Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn represents the rage that we have about what’s not been built yet, what doesn’t have a structure to it yet in our lives, right.And so the square, right here’s Neptune and Aries saying I have a dream, and I get to fulfill it in this lifetime, and I believe in it. And here’s Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn squaring that personal dream, saying there’s no foundation here yet. You know, don’t of yourself. Um, you know, wisdom of someone that knows the hard work that it takes to really build a dream. And so we’re being asked to acknowledge that that’s real, right? We’re asked, we’re to acknowledge that there are parts that we’re not thinking about yet. There are, there parts of building this dream that we have that need to be acknowledged. And we have to step outside of the fantasy in order to do that. And that can feel hard because even having a dream in these times that were in, can feel difficult in itself. And so this Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn energy coming in with that dose of realism around what it takes to build a dream, can feel really hard any frustration or anger that comes up is meant to be used as fuel to create a solid foundation for your dream to be built. So keeping that in mind as we move through the new moon. And I hope to see you at my guided meditation and energy healing video. Thank you so much for being here. -Jenilee This is a public episode.

    Venus Retrograde in Scorpio

    Venus Retrograde in Scorpio from October 3rd-November 13th 2026 • So we woke up with all this fog today in Colorado, and I thought it was the perfect metaphor, because when we wake up tomorrow morning, we will be in Venus retrograde in Scorpio. I see it as literally lifting the fog from all the Venus areas of our lives-so that’s relationships, its value, self value, the way you value yourself. It’s money, it’s health, and it’s the feminine, right, the feminine energy in us and in our relationships, and how that shows up.And so it is this, like, fog right now right this, this moment before the veil lifts, this moment, and veil is a very Scorpio word because Scorpio bridges us or merges us with everything outside of this human realm, right. So the underworld, the psyche, everything that’s underneath the surface is Scorpio energy. And so it is very revealing. And so it’s like, what’s going to be revealed from the fog lifting? Like, what, what are we meant to see during this retrograde period? Scorpio is about getting to the truth. It’s about cutting to the truth. It’s about not stopping until you feel the truth, right, cause feel is important too. It’s not a sentimental thing. It’s more of this deep emotional feeling of the truth. And Scorpio energy can sense when the truth isn’t there, right. And so because this is Venus in Scorpio retrograde, we’re gonna be sensing the truth in our relationship patterns. So our relationship with ourselves, our relationship with others, um, especially the feminine energy with others, right.So it’s not just women or women identified people, but the feminine energy and relationships. And so looking at relationship with health, looking at relationship with your worth, what you think you’re worth, right? Um, how others value you will be clear during the retrograde. So it’s a really big potent Venus retrograde that we all need to make space for. We would be wise to make space for it, because it is this invitation into your, your own subconscious. And it’s a great time to get energy healing.It’s a great time to do subconscious work. And identify what is existing in your subconscious mind, and bringing that into the conscious, so that you can turn the corner. So that you cannot forget what you’re learning about yourself, your relationships, your money, your health, your value. It’s like, you’ll, you’ll never be able to look away or un-know what’s gonna be revealed when this fog lifts with this retrograde. So just sit with that. Be with it. Feel it. And seek support if you feel that you need it. Venus Retrograde in Scorpio is such a potent time for energy healing work!

    The Aries Full Moon on September 26th 2026

    The Aries Full Moon: Let Yourself Be Changed September 26, 2026 • 10:49 AM MST • 3° Aries There is something fiery about a Full Moon in Aries. Full Moons already bring things to a climax. They illuminate what has been building beneath the surface and ask us to see something we may not have been ready to see before. But Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Cardinal Fire. The spark. The beginning. The part of us that says: “I am here.” And this Full Moon arrives directly opposite the Sun at 3° Libra, creating a Cardinal opposition between Self and Other. How much of yourself are you willing to honor? And how much of yourself have you been giving away in order to maintain harmony with everyone else? This Full Moon isn’t asking us to choose between ourselves and our relationships. It is asking us to become conscious of where we have created an imbalance between the two. 🔥 The Full Moon Comes in Hot The Aries Full Moon sits directly between Neptune and Saturn, creating a powerful Aries stellium. And these two outer planets change the way this Aries Full Moon expresses itself. Neptune is ethereal. It can reveal just as much as it hides. In Aries, Neptune can awaken a part of ourselves that has been dormant, inhibited, or waiting for permission to exist. There may be an impulse to throw caution to the wind. To follow the desire. To lose the inhibitions. To finally let that part of yourself breathe. But Saturn is sitting right there. Saturn brings structure. Boundaries. Self-discipline. Reality. So this isn’t necessarily about blowing everything up and running into the wilderness. It may be about something much more powerful: awakening a part of yourself and then building a life where that part of you actually has somewhere to live. What part of you is waking up? And what would it look like to create a structure that allows that part of you to exist? Chiron: What If Your Needs Matter Too? Chiron—the point of the wounded healer—has retrograded back into Aries. During this Full Moon, Chiron is at the very final degree of Aries, opposing Mercury in Libra. This can bring vulnerability around individuality directly into our relationships. Mercury in Libra naturally wants to understand the other person. It wants harmony. It wants everyone to be okay. But Chiron in Aries asks a different question: Are YOU okay? There may be moments during this Full Moon when you realize you’ve been prioritizing someone else’s needs at the expense of your own. And the invitation isn’t necessarily to make some enormous declaration. It may simply be to take one small step toward honoring yourself differently. Say what you need. Ask for what you want. Tell the truth. Allow someone else to be disappointed. Let yourself have an opinion. You don’t have to become selfish to become self-honoring. Mercury + Mars: Don’t Abandon Yourself to Take Care of Everyone Else Mercury in Libra and Mars in Cancer are forming a Cardinal T-square with Chiron in Aries. This can create pressure between: What I need.What you need.What I feel responsible for. Mars in Cancer can be deeply protective. It wants to care for people. It wants to make sure everyone is okay. But when this energy becomes unconscious, we can begin tending to everyone else’s emotional experience while abandoning our own. Chiron in Aries offers the gentle nudge: You are allowed to be part of the equation. Your needs are not an inconvenience. Your feelings are not a disruption. Your individuality doesn’t have to be sacrificed in order for your relationships to work. Lilith Enters Capricorn: What’s the End Game? There is another Cardinal T-square forming during this Full Moon. Dark Moon Lilith has newly entered Capricorn at 1° and is squaring the Sun in Libra and the Aries cluster. Lilith in Capricorn isn’t particularly interested in keeping everyone comfortable. She’s looking at the end game. What actually matters here? What are we building? Where are we wasting energy trying to keep something functioning that isn’t sustainable? There can be power struggles when Cardinal energy is this activated because everyone wants to take the lead. But perhaps the deeper invitation is to ask: What deserves my leadership? Not every conflict requires your participation. Not every opinion requires your response. Not every emotional reaction requires your action. Sometimes leadership looks like knowing what is actually worth your energy. Venus Is Watching Venus in Scorpio is sitting on her own during this Full Moon. And honestly? We would all be wise to watch her. Venus is preparing to retrograde on October 3rd, traveling from 8° Scorpio back to 22° Libra until November 13th. We are already in her retrograde shadow. So the Venus themes are beginning to surface: Relationships.Feminine energy.Self-value.Money.Health.What we give.What we receive.What we believe we deserve. Pay attention. What is happening in your relationships right now may become part of the deeper review that Venus will lead us through over the coming weeks. You don’t have to figure it all out yet. Just notice. Something Is in the Air While all of this fiery Cardinal energy is happening, the Sun in Libra is creating an Air Grand Trine with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. This is one of the sweetest parts of the chart. There is something socially stimulating happening. Conversations can open doors. Connections can change us. New people can introduce us to ideas we didn’t know we needed. Existing relationships can deepen through honest conversation. This is beautiful energy for networking, gathering, exchanging ideas, and allowing yourself to be influenced by the people around you. Because sometimes we don’t transform alone. Sometimes someone says one sentence that changes the way we see our entire life. The Kite: Your Part Matters And then something really beautiful happens in the geometry of this chart. The Air Grand Trine, the Aries–Libra opposition, and the sextile relationships between the Aries Full Moon and Pluto and Uranus create a Kite. The Aries Full Moon becomes the tail of the Kite. And I love this symbolism because the Air Grand Trine holds all of this social and intellectual genius—but the Aries energy gives it somewhere to go. It becomes movement. Action. Embodiment. Expression. The question becomes: What are you going to do with what you’ve learned from the people around you? What part of yourself has been refined through your relationships? What idea are you taking home? What conversation changed something inside of you? And perhaps even more importantly: What are you offering other people that might change them? The Aries Full Moon Invitation There will be a lot of opinions during this Full Moon. A lot of expression. A lot of people saying what they think. A lot of movement. And the invitation isn’t to absorb all of it. It is to allow the experience to refine you. Listen. Notice. Discern. Let yourself be influenced without abandoning yourself. Let yourself change without losing who you are. Let yourself belong without becoming someone else. And when the noise settles, ask yourself: What am I taking home from this experience? And what am I leaving behind? Because this Full Moon isn’t simply asking you to express who you are. It is asking you to become more conscious of who you are becoming. And perhaps the most Aries thing you can do is simply begin. I am so proud of you for being here. If you want to take the lead on this bold Aries energy- take the leap to actually work with it so that you can benefit from it, become a paid subscriber for just $8 and do my Aries Full Moon guided meditation & energy healing release video. This may be the start of a new self-care ritual that makes a real difference in how you feel as you navigate your unique path on this planet.

    The Virgo New Moon

    Virgo New Moon — September 10, 2026 18° Virgo • 9:27 PM MST The New Moon: A Fresh Start in the Way We Live The Sun and Moon come together at 18 degrees of Virgo on September 10th-11th to bring us a new beginning and fresh start with our bodies, our minds, our discernment, our daily energy, and our understanding of what plans and routines are actually stable enough to support us through this new season. Virgo asks us to get specific. What is working? What isn’t? What are you giving your energy to that no longer deserves it? And perhaps most importantly: What does your body already know that your mind is still trying to negotiate? This New Moon isn’t asking us to create a perfect life. It is asking us to create a life that is sustainable enough to actually live in. Your Emotions Are Not the Plan The Sun and Moon in Virgo are forming a sextile—or opportunity aspect—with Mars in Cancer. This is a beautiful reminder that we don’t need to allow our emotions to dictate the plan. If you’re feeling moody, overwhelmed, reactive, or suddenly tempted to change everything based on how you feel in the moment, this energy invites you to pause. Go inward. Give your emotions the attention they need. Then come back to the present moment and ask: What is actually necessary here? Virgo is incredibly discerning. It can separate what is essential from what is excess. Mars in Cancer reminds us that our emotions are important information—but they don’t necessarily need to be the ones driving the car. Get the Story Straight On the same day as the New Moon, Mercury moves into Libra. Mercury wants conversation, cooperation, and a willingness to understand what the other person actually needs. But Mercury is also squaring Dark Moon Lilith at the final degree of Sagittarius. This is a major don’t-assume-you-know-what-someone-else-is-thinking moment. Ask. Clarify. Listen. And then ask again if you need to. Because assumptions made under this energy can quickly turn into anger, resentment, or emotional outbursts. Mercury in Libra wants us to find harmony—but not false harmony. True harmony requires truth. Venus Enters Scorpio: The Truth Gets Deeper There is a much bigger Venus story beginning at this New Moon. Venus moves out of Libra and into Scorpio on the same day—and she is already entering the pre-shadow period of her upcoming retrograde. Venus retrograde will occur from October 3rd through November 14th, beginning in Scorpio and traveling back into Libra. Venus governs so much of what makes up our earthly experience: * relationships * self-worth * feminine energy * money * pleasure * values * receptivity * what we believe we deserve So this retrograde is going to be a big review. In Scorpio, we’re looking beneath the surface. What happens in our intimate relationships? What are we willing to share? Where are we giving too much of ourselves to prove our value? What are we afraid to admit about money, intimacy, power, or trust? And what subconscious patterns are ready to be brought into the light? Then Venus will travel back into Libra, where the questions become: What do other people want from me? Where have I confused people-pleasing with harmony? Where am I maintaining peace at the expense of myself? The review begins now. Venus + Chiron: The Truth May Feel Uncomfortable Venus at 0° Scorpio directly opposes Chiron at 0° Taurus. This brings the Scorpio/Taurus polarity directly into our awareness: Truth vs. stability. Venus in Scorpio wants the truth. Chiron in Taurus knows that sometimes the truth threatens the stability of what we’ve known. This opposition can feel like being asked to honor something deeply true—even when acknowledging it changes the ground beneath you. But there is another message here: What if the truth isn’t here to destroy your stability? What if the truth is here to help you build a more honest version of it? Venus in Scorpio is also sextile Dark Moon Lilith, reminding us that there can be freedom on the other side of speaking the truth. Even the truth that contains anger. Even the truth we were afraid would make us “too much.” Even the truth we learned to swallow to keep everyone else comfortable. Your Personal Dream Is Part of the Collective Transformation Neptune at 3° Aries is sextile Pluto at 3° Aquarius. These two outer planets are still working together toward a much larger collective transformation. Neptune in Aries asks: What is your personal dream? Pluto in Aquarius asks: How does your personal transformation contribute to the collective future? There is a beautiful conversation happening here between the individual and the collective. Your healing isn’t separate from the world. Your boundaries aren’t separate from the world. Your willingness to live more authentically isn’t separate from the world. The life you are building becomes part of the world we are collectively building. Chiron + Lilith: Stop Kicking the Can Down the Road Chiron in Taurus is also Trining Dark Moon Lilith in Sagittarius in an out-of-sign trine. This is supportive energy for finally acknowledging what has become too uncomfortable to ignore. Lilith doesn’t want to pretend. She wants her experience to matter just as much as everyone else’s. And she can push Chiron in Taurus out of the comfort zone of saying: “I’ll deal with it later.” How long have you known something was off? How long have you been waiting for the “right time” to make a change? What would happen if you stopped asking whether you’re ready and simply acknowledged what is true? Sometimes healing begins with something incredibly simple: admitting that something hurts. Mercury + Neptune: Clarity Is a Practice Mercury at 0° Libra is also opposing Neptune in Aries. This is another invitation to get clarity. Don’t sacrifice yourself based on what you think someone else needs. Don’t create an entire story around one unanswered text. Don’t make permanent decisions based on temporary confusion. Ask for clarification. Say what you mean. Listen for what isn’t being said. And most importantly: don’t abandon yourself in an attempt to understand someone else. Mercury is also building a trine with Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto wants the truth to move us forward. Mercury in Libra gives that truth diplomacy, language, and relationship awareness. This is an opportunity to have the conversation that actually moves something forward. Venus + Pluto: Let the Relationship Transform Venus in Scorpio is also building toward a powerful square with Pluto in Aquarius. Fixed-sign squares can be intense because fixed energy doesn’t particularly enjoy being told to change. Venus in Scorpio feels deeply. Pluto in Aquarius can detach from emotional chaos long enough to see the larger pattern. This creates an opportunity to transform relationships—particularly relationships involving women and feminine energy. The key is consciousness. Scorpio energy can swim very deeply in the subconscious when we aren’t paying attention. So if something feels disproportionately intense right now, pause and ask: Is this only about what is happening right now? Or is something older asking to be healed through what is happening now? Awareness is the lubrication that helps this square move instead of becoming a power struggle. Saturn Retrograde: Are You Passing the Test? Jupiter at 15° Leo is still in a loose trine with Saturn at 13° Aries, which is retrograde. This gives us bonus points for sticking with the structure and self-discipline we were asked to develop when Saturn entered Aries earlier this year. Since Saturn went retrograde on July 26th, many of us have been undergoing a series of pass/fail exams around everything we were learning about boundaries, responsibility, and self-work between February and July. And the beautiful thing about this trine? It’s showing us why the discipline matters. Saturn isn’t here to take away our freedom. Saturn is teaching us how to create enough structure to actually experience the life we say we want. More discipline can create more freedom. More boundaries can create more intimacy. More discernment can create more energy. And more self-responsibility can create more of what we love. Uranus + Pluto: The Future Is Moving Uranus at 5° Gemini is trining Pluto at 3° Aquarius. This is powerful support for collective transformation. Uranus in Gemini is questioning how information moves through our world. It is uncovering false narratives, challenging old beliefs, and changing the way we communicate, connect, learn, and understand reality. Pluto in Aquarius is focused on the deeper transformation of the collective. Together, these planets are accelerating a transformation in the way humanity thinks, communicates, shares information, and organizes itself. And once again, the invitation is personal: What part of this transformation is yours to participate in? The Virgo New Moon Invitation This New Moon isn’t asking you to fix everything. It is asking you to discern. To notice. To listen. To get honest. To stop assuming. To let the truth become more important than the story. To notice where your body is saying yes and where it is saying no. To create routines that actually support the person you are becoming. And perhaps most importantly: to stop confusing discomfort with a sign that you’re doing something wrong. Sometimes discomfort is simply the sensation of an old version of your life no longer fitting. The Virgo New Moon gives us a moment to clean up the systems that support our lives so that we can enter this next season with more clarity, more honesty, and more energy available for what actually matters. The question isn’t: “How can I do more?” The question is: “What is truly worth my energy now?” This is a public episode.

    Pisces Lunar Eclipse Guided Meditation & Energy Healing Video

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit healmycosmos.substack.com Pisces Lunar Eclipse Forecast: August 27th 2026 10:18pm MST 4 degrees of Pisces The Sun and the Moon oppose each other each Full Moon and this month we have a deep partial Lunar Eclipse which means that 93-96% of the Moon will enter the Earth’s shadow. Like Full Moons-Lunar Eclipses are climax points just more potent and intense. When the Moon goes into shadow, the shadow side of our emotions are activated to be acknowledged, felt and released. Full Moons are about release and letting go and since this Full Moon Eclipse is in the Mutable Water sign of Pisces- the sign of surrender and letting go, we are all being invited into a surrender place that we have been preparing for. Whatever came up for you during the Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 12th is now coming to a place of completion for the Lunar Eclipse on August 27th. The Solar Eclipse was about allowing for a new beginning where we detached from what our ego wants and came into the higher heart that operates from a place of understanding that we are all here to offer something unique to the collective to create a better human experience for all of us. The Lunar Eclipse is about surrendering our nicely laid plans that were very much created from a place of wanting to get it right and be seen as perfect in some way. Both the Solar and Lunar Eclipse energies work together for a common goal and these two are asking for deep surrender of our attachments. You could feel like this Eclipse Season has you walking through a wet paper bag and being expected to act like you know the way forward when deep down you just don’t feel certain. Let’s talk about why: The Sun in Virgo at 4 degrees is conjunct the ruler of Virgo-Mercury, at 5 degrees of Virgo. The Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo wants to plan something very meticulously and wants the details. These two personal planets are in an out-of-sign conjunction with the South Node in Leo which is clearing out old ego attachments on its own but through the conjunction it’s clearing out the perfectionist lens in which we are operating from. The Sun, Mercury and the South Node are opposing the Moon in Pisces and the North Node in Aquarius. The Moon is Pisces is holding psychic knowing and higher self guidance and conjunct the North Node in Aquarius it has a boost of divine insight and drive to look toward the future instead of obsessing over the details of plans not coming together. The way that each of us experience this opposition is connected to our own natal chart energy makeup. If you have strong Virgo or Earth sign energy in your chart it will be more difficult for you to let go of the plans and the details. If you have stronger Pisces or water sign energy in your own chart it may feel easier to let go and trust what you are feeling and sensing despite the plans you had. If you have the other two mutable signs (gemini/sagittarius) strong in your own chart you will feel tension and your strength is your adaptability. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces are both squaring Uranus in Gemini. Uranus being the outer planet in the square it holds more power in its agenda. Uranus in Gemini through this square is shouting at us “options! options! Don’t forget that you have options!!!” We must take a beat after we realize what plan must be surrendered in order to look around and take full stock of the options the future is creating for us now. Jupiter in Leo continuing to expand our consciousness of what we really want now is in a harmonious trine with Saturn in Aries which is perfect for grounding our ideas of what we want now into a structured, long-term plan. Jupiter is the traditional benefic planet of the zodiac and Saturn is the traditional malefic. These two playing nice is a wonderful thing as they can get us on the road to long-term success that is beyond what we could have imagined for ourselves. Uranus in Gemini is forming a sextile or opportunity aspect with Neptune in Aries. Both powerful outer planets in Air and Fire signs are reminding us of the need for movement. The Full Moon Solar Eclipse being in Water/Earth signs means we do need this reminder. We must make movement in assessing our options and which one feels like a yes deep in our bones. Uranus in Gemini is also trining and offering and receiving support from Pluto in Aquarius during the Eclipse. These two change-making outer planets both in Air signs are playing the long game with the power to create fast changes. We must work with this dynamic Air trine by reminding ourselves that in our own personal lives as well as the collective we are in a time of permanent change and there will not be a shortage of new options we just need to get on board quicker which means we also need to keep checking in with ourselves and those around us about the grief process we are all in given the quick shifts and turns we are experiencing. Neptune in Aries is also sextile Pluto in Aquarius-again Fire and Air needs movement. We can allow for a slow burn as long as we are clear about the progress that is required day to day within ourselves in order to have that reflected back to us by the collective. Venus in Libra connecting us with the relationships we value is in an opposition with Pallas Athene in Aries asking us to look at the relationships that honor our independent creative nature. Mars in Cancer at 10 degrees forms some wider aspects: a water trine with the Pisces Full Moon at 4 degrees and a square with Venus in Libra at 10 degrees. The water trine reminds us that we are indeed walking through the wet paper bag and still being guided and the cardinal square feels like pressure to tend to others when our own inner emotional terrain is needing space too. Dark Moon Lilith in Sagittarius trines the South node in Leo which as I mentioned earlier is in an out of sign conjunction with the Sun and Mercury in Virgo creating big possibilities for us to experience rage about the surrender we are being asked to do through this Pisces Eclipse.
