Meanwhile the Moon (Feelings) is hanging out in intuitive Pisces all day long. In this sign, she’s not compelled by ration or logic; she connects with us through our dreams or angelic messages, or inner guidance. When Moon is in Pisces she doesn’t give a sweet fig that one plus one equals two, because there’s no such thing as two in Pisces’ realm. Everything plus everyone equals All One. The Moon is getting closer to Jupiter and Uranus, each of whom have been retrograde in Pisces for months. Moon thinks to herself: “Before I meet up with Pisces’ co-ruler Jupiter tomorrow, let me find out how the tenants in his Sagittarius home are doing.” So Moon picks up the phone to dial Mercury and Mars over in Sagittarius. (It’s a long-distance call, but what are you gonna do?) Here then, is the conversation that ensues:
Mercury: Hello?
Mars: (yelling in the background) Who is it?
Moon: Hello Mercury, it’s Luna here.
Mercury: Oh, hi there – everything alright?
Moon: Everything is divine. I just wanted to reach out and connect with you.
Mercury: Great. Listen, we’re kinda busy here. I’m trying to teach Mars how to speed read the Old Testament.”
Moon: Why on Earth would you plough through ancient scriptures without taking the time to reflect on their stories?
Mercury: Well for starters, there are a lot of begats in the text. We’re just doing this so Mars can say he read the Bible.
Moon: Well I’ve shone over Mount Kilimanjaro but that doesn’t mean I’ve climbed it.
Mercury: Huh? You lost me there.
Moon: Don’t skim, my dear. Be fully present to what you’re doing. Allow yourself to float in the experience, to soak up everything you can from it.
Mars: (bellowing in the background) What’s taking so long?
Mercury: (whispering) I think Moon’s jammering about taking a bubble bath or something.
Mars: (grabs the phone) Hi Lady. Listen, we’re in a hurry. As soon as Mercury helps me burn through the Torah we’re going to judge who’s better, Buddha or Baby Jesus.”
Moon: Neither of them are in the Torah, darling. And they’re both – hello? Hello? Mars? Mercury? Are you boys still there?
(Mars hangs up the receiver; Mercury looks at him quizzically.)
Mercury: Did you just hang up on Luna?
Mars: No man, we, uh, got disconnected. I got the feeling she was trying to tell me something though.
Mercury: I can never understand a thing when she calls from Pisces. Always sounds like she’s under water.”
Mars: Heh heh. Okay, let’s conquer the Bible so we can kill the Buddha.
Mercury: What?!
Mars: Ya, I came across something a while ago that says we’re supposed to kill the Buddha if we ever meet him. I’ve got my sword ready.”
Hmm…Since it’s your logic that’s trying to kill your intuition, speak only to what you know. Mercury and Mars are at least making a sextile to Saturn, so that ought to help. Still, try taking a risk (Moon quincunx Saturn): let your Intuition speak through you. After all, the right side of your brain needs a workout!
