Astro Vibrational Tapestry Report

Wednesday October 5, 2016 -

The moon enter into the jovial and free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius this morning at 4:26 AM. This is where she will hang until early Friday morning. When the moon is in Sagittarius we might be thinking of traveling or far way places. Our minds might also be occupied with philosophy or curiosity of spirituality. The one thing about Sagittarius is that Sagittarius has an open mind and is often able to think outside of the box. Contemplation of things bigger than what is right in front of your face is another way to celebrate the Sagittarius moon.

The Sagittarius moon comes to a sextile with Jupiter in Libra at 3:56 PM. This is a cheerful energy, we might feel like being cooperative with collective projects at this time. If not, then we might just feel like having some fun or in a nice mood, as this is a lunar transit and doesn't last but a few hours on each side of the peak of the aspect.

The first important aspect in the skies today is when Venus in Scorpio makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn at 5:22. This aspect is with planets and not luminaries so it will be felt from late last night until early tomorrow. When I think of Venus and Pluto, "obsessive behavior" comes to mind concerning others in your life. In particular those you are in love relationships with. Since this aspect is a sextile which is considered a softer aspect it is nudging you to take some action on expressing your passions and compassion for those that you love. 

Sometimes a good conversation or a time to just spend talking with your loved ones is good. I highly suggest this time to deepen any relationship you are with this energy but caution you to not get like all crazy obsessive with it. In healthy relationships we need to be individuals and a couple at the same time. - this stands for any relationship, not just love relationships - Otherwise it becomes something co-dependent and can become a struggle. So you might even think about things you hold deep inside and bring them out in a loving way to your sweetie. 

Or if you are single take this day to get really real with yourself, and ask yourself - 
How is it that you love yourself? I am not just talking about superficial stuff either. 
But - how do you care for your soul? 
Do you give yourself time to settle into yourself every day or are you always doing for others and forget you?
Do you meditate daily?
Do you honor your time alone and give yourself time to do self-care?
Are you taking care of your body, not in an obsessive way - but a way that is healthy?
Also are you expressing your love in ways of creativity? Venus Pluto can be super cathartic in art!

The second important aspect for today is when Mars in Capricorn comes to a square with Jupiter in Libra at 5:45 PM. This is also felt all day today and this time the aspect is a square which tends to be considered a hard aspect. The two planets that are connected are considered difficult to say the least. (Mars) the challenging of the two planets, and Jupiter which makes things big. Put in a square angle like this can have us feeling agitated and in a big way. Unlike the aspect that just passed its going to be a more difficult aspect for the day, so you may find yourself vacillating between feeling what I just mentioned about Venus sextile Pluto and this aspect.
Mars in this square is inflated by Jupiter and them being in cardinal signs kind of makes us want to do one of two things. 
We might want to just spend time alone. 
Or we may feel agitated and a desire to kind of run away from everything to be alone. 
Try to channel this energy into something positive. It is a good aspect for sports or for doing something by yourself - like running. You might even just go for a walk at some point today to enjoy the scenery around you.

The gemstone suggestion for today is Fluorite. Fluorite will help you be calm and bring out things in your psyche that you may have buried.

The essential oil suggestion for today is Angelica. Angelica encourages on to grow and to focus their stamina on that growth. This essential oil can also help us sense those inner visions about ourselves and a way to express them in a positive way.

All times are in Eastern US Time.

Namaste & until tomorrow!
