The Messenger, the Underworld, and the Revolution

The Moon is in Virgo today, applying to Mercury (who is stationing) in Capricorn. Mercury is nearly conjunct to Pluto. From here, the Moon applies to a square with Saturn and then enters into the last quarter Moon just as we move into the solstice.

Keep your eyes peeled for…

* Delays, setbacks, and all manner of Mercury matters reaching a halt, standstill, or temporary shutdown.

* However, the Moon making a trine to this stationing Mercury could also represent the return on something you’ve been waiting to hear back about, something from the past turning up and perhaps paying you back or returning a favor. It’s also possible that delays could be somewhat meaningful or helpful right now, so keep your eye out for the benevolent breakdown or a return from the past.

* The conjunction of this stationing Mercury to Pluto leads us into the underworld, the unconscious, the secretive, that which is hidden, that which is perhaps toxic and in need of coming up to the light, or anything related to Mercury (messages or messengers, information, communication, technology, etc) that undergoes a powerful and complete transformation.

* As new information comes to light, how does it change the way we think or perceive? Are we taking the time to reflect, or are we immediately judging the new facts or information and running with it? Discernment is key in the next few days!

* We may be about to revisit, rehas, or begin a longer period of changing or negotiating the terms of something or the structure of something we use very regularly in the day to day. The most important thing to consider is not just “how does this get me to where I want to go even quicker,” but “how does this help me sustain things in the long run?”

* Remember that today’s astrology also includes a slow, applying square to Saturn. It’s normal to feel some weightness, to see larger or more serious structural challenges or clashes with authority figures or having to cope or deal with the burden or difficulty of something. Negotiating our way through is likely since Mercury’s station with Pluto augurs a powerful transformation and Jupiter and Uranus’ upcoming opposition also points toward a rapid and powerful series of transformative events.

Prayer: Send us the messenger. Let his words speak truth. May it spark a revolution wherever one is needed.
