Wondrous Wednesday might be a bit chaotic this week. The Aquarius Moon is void of course as we start the day, taking us to late morning. Then, it enters Pisces and quickly moves into a conjunct with Saturn and then an opposition to the Sun, marking the full moon. Technically, this is a blue moon, since it’s the second in the calendar month. Usually, this is considered auspicious. However, this lunation is making some rough aspects. Because it’s in the Earth & Water elements, they’re likely to bring more growing pains than harsh lessons.
Emotionalism, intuition, and compassionate vibes will be high. So will our urge to escape reality through daydreaming, intoxication, and distraction. However, the Sun in Virgo together with Mercury retrograde is not going to make it easy to ignore the mundane aspects of our lives. Resistance may be high, soft spots may ache. It’s the universe’s way of drawing our focus toward the areas of life where the work is still unclear or lacking true direction.
The Moon’s conjunction to Saturn in the afternoon may activate feelings of separation. The call to face and handle our responsibilities and clear out self-deception could invoke some strong reactions from a few. The Pisces Moon wants to merge. Saturn is demanding that we do the work to heal and get more honest with ourselves, first. Virgo Sun & Mercury are shining light on the details (much as we try to ignore them). The mutable earth energy is also helping us to align with what we need.
The full moon typically brings endings, exposures, and light to hidden issues. In Pisces, the understanding may emerge at a subconscious level, but truth is still there. Saturn will help us materialize our understanding while it’s in Pisces. This lunar cycle will give us a little hint as to what that can look like. Wishing all of you a little calm in these wild waves!
