Luna emerges from the mutable zone of Virgo well versed in holding the tension between form and formlessness. Here in Libra, she begins to really ring in the cardinal activation, as we ready ourselves for full-on Capricorn season and Winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere.
Activity swirls and excitement tickles us as Our Lady of Balanced Reflections continues to shed her light in preparation for total darkness next week. Her hostess, Aphrodite, is an earth goddess in Capricorn, elegantly dressed in ochres. Luna sends a square aspecting light to Venus, offering us lighter moods and social inspiration while at the same time tinging our hearts with a sentimental yearning for family, close friends, and intimate soirees.
Sparking the skies above an estate of seagoats, Luna feels pretty. She glints over a nocturnal garden lit by millions of tiny candles. Small animals below flit about and across the ancient trees and slumbering flower bulbs. Young and old lovers bow their heads together on sequestered benches in lamp-glow. Conversations become animated while grand ideas are born and die like water flourishing skyward from a fountain. The air is curious, and a sense of sudden brilliance shimmers behind the eye of every creature, great and small.
Words dance; nervous systems sizzle with sensations as much as thoughts. An earthy trine from Mercury in Capricorn to Uranus in Taurus is further sparked by Luna’s witness in a square aspect to Hermes. Trines from the two malefics, Saturn in Aquarius and Mars in Aries support Luna’s dedication to even-handedness. A commitment to harmonize even the most difficult characteristics make for better sociability with all kinds of people.
Consider this:
The fizz of breakthroughs and good times twinkle around the edges of this preamble to Solstice. What is the beauty you want to be in the world? Chart out the course and invent a new kind of vessel to get there. The nervous energy of Mercury and Uranus can be a bit surprising. Grounded by bulls and seagoats it’s probably more about dancing vigorously or the hard work of tending a winter garden than blowing a circuit.
