Rediscovering Our Inner Wild  | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Do you remember the distraction that happened a few months ago? What we imagined to be our purpose,… where we thought we were going… and the rude intrusion that fell onto our path; was cosmically guiding us onto another road. Since this awkward sense of footing, we’ve been learning how to get back on our […]

August 7th, 2019: First Quarter Square and the Shadow Behind the Shine

  • 1st Quarter Square between the Scorpio Moon and Leo Sun (14 deg)

  • Sun in Leo trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)

  • Sun in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon sextile Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

The First Quarter Square triggers a crisis between depth and shine, dark and light. The Leo Sun (amped up by Jupiter) represents a showy, optimistic situation. It’s loud and proud, bold and beautiful. But the Scorpio Moon brings a darker undertone of something you don’t want to acknowledge – the shadow behind the shine. And yet, this darkness is necessary for you to fully understand the brightness. There’s more than meets the eye – shadow work to be done. In order to enhance what you’re proud of, you need to dig deeper.

The Sun’s inconjunct to Saturn emphasizes this through inconvenient limits, rules or authority. Watch for some brakes on your ego – someone with more power may tell you what’s not possible. As unpleasant as this is, the Moon’s supportive sextile to Saturn reminds you that these limits can be stabilizing. Really dig into the area around those boundaries. There can be deeper, richer resources in these narrow but immovable veins.

Limits create focus which creates concentrated energy; mine the restrictions for enhanced power.

August 6th, 2019: Not A Smooth Day

  • Libra Moon square Mercury in Cancer (25 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Libra (3:35 AM EDT)

  • Moon enters Scorpio (11:31 AM EDT)

  • Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

The last aspect before the Moon goes VOC is a troublesome square to Mercury in Cancer. Emotional words/thoughts will disrupt the balance – the attempt to keep things light and harmonious will be challenged by moody/needy/sensitive Mercury.

If you try to gloss over this crisis, it will get worse. Confront the feels head on while keeping in mind that it’s not all about you or them. Don’t expect smooth moments, and use the brief VOC to exhale and process.

As the Moon enters Scorpio and opposes Uranus, the previous disruptions will lead to something deeper. The info that was saturated in emotion will push the situation to an intense tipping point. Attempts to maintain control/power will be immediately upended by a shock – this could be a truth that exposes a secret, or an unexpected display of freedom. The Scorpio/Taurus axis is about core survival issues, so this will be felt on a deep level.

Keep your eyes open and fearlessly stare down what’s been revealed in the shadows; this is not the time to shy away.

July 11th, 2019: Mars Square Uranus

  • Waxing Trine between the Scorpio Moon and Cancer Sun (19 deg)

  • Mars in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

  • Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

The Waxing Trine enables harmony between what’s safe/comfortable and what can be very uncomfortable. Intensity blends with familiarity, moving you towards a profound exploration of needs, feelings or family issues. Excellent for accessing secrets or personal issues that no one wants to look at. Now’s the chance to dive in and get comfortable in the deeper waters.

The Mars/Chiron trine continues that theme as bold or confident actions trigger healing through courage. The wound is there, but you’ve got the stuff to confront it and move through it – you can stand out/stand up even though you feel vulernable.

But…Mars also squares Uranus. So there will be jolts, accidents, explosions of anger or unexpected displays. Again the backdrop of these smooth trines we have a surge of electricity – it may be a push into the future or an impatient demand for attention, no matter the cost. Maybe this is what triggers the need to go deeper. And it can certainly open up an opportunity for healing (Chiron) through bold actions (Mars).

Mars/Uranus is risky – Mars in Leo likes to play/gamble/grab attention and a hard aspect to Uranus cranks that up. These energies can result in liberation or breakage – caution is advised. What are you trying to accomplish? The current is moving forward but it’s best if you exercise awareness.

July 10th, 2019: Stirring it Up With The Scorpio Moon

  • Scorpio Moon square Mercury Rx in Leo (4 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon square Mars in Leo ( 5 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon opposite Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (7 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon trine Venus in Cancer (9 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon square Juno in Leo ( 9 deg)

An intensely jagged day as the Scorpio Moon goes through the paces.

The squares to Mercury/Mars can trigger volatile arguments and verbal explosions, rooted in unconscious issues/secrets. Scorpio is about what’s uncomfortably intense/frightening, so a lot of repressed garbage will be stirred up. The opposition to Uranus adds a sudden jolt- what was hidden will emerge suddenly and spectacularly.

Things should ease up as the Moon forms a Grand Water trine with Venus and BML – after the eruption, the release will follow a smooth path that incorporates love/affection and empathy for truly taboo or objectionable subjects. Once the secrets are exposed to the light of day, there should be relief. Dark, powerful female energy is prominent here.

But Moon square Juno will present one final bit of discord as deeper sources of power/powerlessness/compulsions challenge the surface shine of a relationship agreement. There could be stubborn showdown between pride versus raw truths.
