You may notice a slight change in the format for the transits. There are also quite a few more than usual, as I am playing with adding in the asteroids and dwarf planets to see how they can contribute to my process. So far, I like this vibe a lot, especially for scopes called BitchScopes.
I am fiddling with my writing process as well. So to arrive at the mood for this week I made a a word cloud. It won’t show up in the scopes on 12Listen due to formatting constraints. Here is the list of words in descending order of emphasis in case you can't see the graphic (or you can bounce over to the blog) ** Feelings, intuition, meditation, mother, nurture, sensitive, choice, commitment, empathy, family, logic, news, bonding, compromise, humanitarian, idealistic, misunderstandings, prayer, selfish, sharing, vulnerable **
P.S. Bohemian Rhapsody just landed in my brain out of nowhere. Probably triggered by the word "Mother", but I'm going with it... While I know the song by heart, I don't know that I've ever sought out more meaning behind it. Check this out!
“In fact, Galileo was the name of Jesus Christ in the ancient Rome. In other words, the only way to get out of the demonic nightmare of the song is to magnify Jesus Christ and ask Him for help. But the boy can’t believe that God is concerned about him, and refuses the salvation (‘Nobody loves me’)."* Footnote by me: I can not validate this assertion that Jesus actually was referred to as "Galileo", though it shows up a few times in research. However, Galileo may have been a nod to the word "Galilean", a word that referenced Christ and His followers
Aaaanyway, thanks for that ear-worm, Universe. The link about the song is very interesting in and of itself and shows what a friggin genius Freddy was. As to the songs random application to this week's scopes...self judgement, feeling all the feelings because of Pisces, healing the mother wound, caring for ourselves, prayer, surrendering to the power of prayer.
Hi rabbit hole, can I come in? Cool.
Freddy's Birthday was 9/5, making him a Virgo. The planets that contributed to most of this Mother energy this week were Vesta (shows where we are devoted) and Ceres (goddess of the hearth and harvest) Vesta has a lot of moon-like, Cancerian qualities, and Ceres is a proposed co-ruler for Virgo.
Galileo was martyred for science. He was ordered to turn himself in to the Holy Office to begin trial for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the sun, which was deemed heretical by the Catholic Church.
What do we sacrifice (Vesta in Virgo) to the collective (Pisces) to allow our healing (Chiron & Ceres in Aries)? Can we "Galileo Figaro Magnifico" (magnify Christ/Christ consciousness), to unfuck ourselves?
That's crazy. I gotta go have a drink and listen to the song. Idanno man, I just work here.
Here's the weekly scoop and scopes:
March 8
- Moon sextile Neptune - sensitive and in touch with your feelings
- Mercury sextile Juno - good timing for sharing news or info with spouse/mate
- Venus opposite Vesta - pull between commitment to work and commitment to partner
- Neptune square Juno (all week) - possible misunderstandings in relationships, particularly if you are not viewing your partner through a realistic lens
March 9
- Venus square Lunar Nodes - A square to the Nodes indicates tension and a critical choice. You must choose between the comfort of the known (the past) and the promise of the unknown (the future). The South Node in Sagittarius wants to escape and the North Node in Gemini asks us to communicate and pursue intellectual enrichment. How will you use your values, money, and talents (Venus) on this journey?
- Moon trine Mars - courage and initiative; defending the family
March 10
- Sun conjunct Neptune - increased sensitivity, empathy, and intuition
- Mercury sextile Eris - discord can be softened with intellect and logic
March 11
- Sun square Juno - beware of ego in relationships; selfishness
- Chiron conjunct Ceres (over several days) - strong caretaker energy
March 13
- Venus conjunct Neptune - a great transit for solid relationships to bond and deepen
- New Moon in Pisces - It is time for spirituality, prayers and meditation. Some of us will need some time alone with their own thoughts.
March 14
- Daylight Savings Time begins - Ugh. lame.
- Moon conjunct Chiron - vulnerable
March 15
- Mercury enters Pisces - our unconscious mind becomes easier to access. Be aware of the desire to escape too much, or get lost in non-reality (i.e. too much dreaming and not enough working)
- Moon sextile Jupiter - idealistic and humanitarian
- Venus square Juno - conflict in relationships; compromise and cooperation needed
ARIES - Your solar 12th house is emphasized right now, with the Sun, the new moon, Mercury, and Venus there stirring up and activating your compassion in a deep way. The trick is to not give all of your energy away to others, when you need to have some for yourself. It is past time that you leaned on your friends for some nurturing and support, even if it is not for any specific thing. In your quest for success, don't forget to take care of you.
TAURUS - Your friends, associations, hopes and dreams are highlighted now. If you utilize the new moon for manifesting, be sure to include your long term goals. Self care for you revolves around creativity and child-like joy. Use some kind of art to tap into your intuition this week and consider doing some healing work for your inner child.
GEMINI - There is something you need to learn in order to further your career. It may be a new skill or modality, or it may be a whole new subject. If the thought of going back to school breaks you out in hives, tap in to your intuition for some direction and explore the resources online. If there is some emotional baggage around learning, do some work with the new moon to heal that and draw in a fresh energy.
CANCER - Use the moon this week to tap in to the power of your belief system, and also to receive new information that will enhance your spiritual life. Your challenge this week might be staying focused. Resist the urge to escape, or to distract yourself with useless arguments. Passive aggressive behavior is a no-no this week (sorry!), but learning, or deepening your learning practice is a yes!
LEO - Try not to act impulsively when your feelings get triggered this week. Instead, work on healing whatever that issue is. This is likely to come from your closest relationship or partner, and might be about the ever-so-popular couples argument: money. So try to stay aware and don't lash out at them. (Read their horoscopes to see what's going on with them. Perspective helps!) Honest and compassionate communication will set the stage for a regeneration in that relationship.
VIRGO - This doesn't even sound like a horoscope, what I'm about to say. It sounds like Virgo every day...but I'm gonna say it anyway. Your mothering and nurturing nature will be turned up this week, and you might need to watch for too much "people pleasing", sacrificial, or martyr behavior. Being sacrificial (especially in a brand new relationship) won't necessarily win the other party over, and it probably doesn't serve you either. Balance between self and other is key, particularly if grief is involved this week at all. Make sure you give yourself room to grieve under the dark of the moon.
LIBRA - While its not your normal nature, check yourself if you feel like criticizing this week. With the moon tickling your solar 6th house, you'll need to be aware of any physical messages you get from your body, but realize that they may be rooted in an emotional issue as well. You may feel a bit low and mopey this week, and like you're unsupported. "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." You're a drop in the ocean (Vesta is cruising through your 12th house), so you're surrounded by the love of others...you just can't see it right now. Just keep swimming.
SCORPIO - You have the green light to be dramatic and creative this week, particularly as it pertains to yourself in a group or company. You will enjoy the attention you get this week, and it could come from a new job, promotion, or opportunity. You will feel more inspired this week than you have in awhile, so if you've back-burnered a creative project, you might want to dust it off this week. Use the new moon to manifest even more creative energy to get that sucker finished!
SAGITTARIUS - You may not feel very social or outgoing this week, as the new moon will have you craving the comfort and security of home (maybe with family, maybe not...depends on your family!) You may question your commitment to your profession, and may just feel confused about how to proceed. The 10th house and issues of authority are pulling on your need for more security. For the answers, look to your Pluto, currently in your 2nd solar house of earned money. In short, "show me the money" is probably partially the answer to your conundrum.
CAPRICORN - You may question what you know this week, or your beliefs that have gotten you this far. It could be time for a change up in either your career path, or the education that supports your current career. Look to your friends for a bit of distraction and levity from the burdens of family. Write down your wishes and desires for the new moon and ask for information to come to you very clearly...because the information is coming...so you'd best know what they're talking about when it does, eh?
AQUARIUS - Your glasses this week may be Venusian colored. The arts, inspiration, beauty, things of value, and money are likely to be on your mind. Projects to improve your home are favored right now. But while you're refinishing your dining table, your thoughts are likely to go deep. Deep wisdom can come when your mind is occupied. You already have everything you need, for whatever the thing is that is on your mind right now; it is merely a matter of organizing it.
PISCES - You need to take a break from effort for the time being. Rest. Relax. Be with the one you love (man, woman, cat, dog, food, vibrator, whatever!) and give yourself a break. This is your new moon, and there's a lot of planets rooting for you right now. Despite that, you may feel stabby this week, but the way I'm looking at it, I think a fever is about to break. After you navigate whatever pissy energy you have within you, you'll have an a-ha moment. You will very soon feel much more secure and empowered. But don't go trying to find it. Let it come to you. You deserve your own grace right now.
