  • Waxing Trine between the Aquarius Moon and Libra Sun (26 deg)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Mercury in Scorpio square Mars in Aquarius (14 deg)

Waxing Trine

The Waxing Trine indicates a natural flow between partnership and independence, one-on-one and the group. All the social angles are covered, making it easy to connect with others on various levels. The catch is that you have to keep it light – the Air signs call for detachment and intellectual connections. Overall, this trine has a lively vibe that that enables the progress of any type of relationship.

Mercury

Despite the flow of the trine, Mercury’s square to Mars does suggest that communication will be tense. The urge to dig deep for answers (and this can be rooted in the desire to control by knowing all the “secrets”) will clash with actions that demand freedom. There may be tension between wanting to step back versus wanting to know more. The result can be angry words and forceful demands.

The Neptune/Mercury trine can help. If you encounter pressure to reveal more than you’re comfortable with, or you’re the one applying the pressure, take a deep breath, exhale and let go. Accept that you can’t force the words or knowledge – some things aren’t meant to be known, and you don’t have to open up if you don’t want to. Neptune encourages release, forgiveness and its own brand of detachment via transcendence. What you need to know will come to you, as will the right words.

The common theme today is the trine – natural flow. There is no need to force anything, because what’s meant to unfold will do so without effort.

As you see, the New Moon @15Sco11 perfects the morning after the 2018 Midterm Elections and as usual, marks the beginning of a new cycle with the Moon at the Point of Regeneration (15 Scorpio), aka, the Eagle Point.

October 18th, 2018: Step Back

  • Moon in Aquarius square Mercury in Scorpio (12 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius conjunct Mars (13 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius trine Ceres in Libra (19 deg)

The Moon’s square to Mercury can trigger tense realizations- detached energy will illuminate what’s obscured. Communication can feel uncomfortable, as deep observations clash with the need to remain distant. When the Moon conjoins Mars, watch for a spark that lights a rebellious or unusual urge. The pull of Scorpio’s depths will be forcefully denied. Now is not the time to look for intimacy – the mood is restless and a bit crazy.

If you’re aware of what’s happening, this energy can be channeled in a healthy way via the Moon’s trine to Ceres. Mutual freedom can be nurtured in a relationship. This is about giving the other person room to breath – stepping back and keeping your touch light can actually bring you closer.
