Waxing Moon in Pisces

The Moon continues in oceanic Pisces today, suffusing the day with the energy of Water. Our choices will be to flow with intuitive guidance, cosmic connection, healing, and wise mentorship ... or lose ourselves in wounding and illusion.

Mercury in Libra, creative thinking and communication, formed an inconjunct with revolutionary Uranus early this morning. Uranus is in Pisces, offering radical insights and unexpected perspectives. The inconjunct aspect requires adjustment; can balanced Mercury dance with the Trickster? We may get flashes of intuition that shake up our world view.

The Sun in Libra trines Neptune, Pisces ruler, and Chiron the wounded healer. An easy flow of energy connects the bright star that powers our world with planets offering connection and healing, if we can see through veils of illusion. Working with Mercury and Uranus helps us see to the heart of the matter, recognize authenticity, and look beyond what is merely comfortable to find deep healing.

Tonight, the Pisces Moon trines Mars in Scorpio, a flowing connection between cosmic ocean and shadowy depths. This trine presents once again a choice between connection and healing, or wounding and illusion. Mars in Scorpio is powerful, deeply insightful, and intense. He offers us a chance to look deeply within and face our inner demons, accepting them and integrating their power. The alternative is projection and blame: Mars here can also be angry and vengeful. The Pisces Moon could make it easy to see ourselves as victims; the choice to embrace understanding and healing is ours.

In this week's podcast, astrologer Benjamin Bernstein shares his technique of consciously expanding our aura to contain the energies we need to accomplish a task. He applies this with Jupiter, planet of expansion and enthusiasm, and we can use this approach with today's Pisces and Neptune energies. Late tonight, the Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Pisces.

Floating in the vast cosmic ocean, surrounded with visions of insight, illusion, wounding and healing, we can experience ourselves as small, lost and unprepared to choose well ... or we can open our inner vision, connect with wise guidance, and expand our hearts to embrace all of who we are with love and understanding.
