Keep a hotline to your emotional body; and for that matter to your body itself, and the instinct in the very depths of your gut. You might be inclined to look to the spiritual for inspiration and guidance; however, remembering to check in with your basic physical sensations first could well prove useful. Every facet of you matters, and has a part to play in the sacred work of your growth.

With the Moon in shoot-from-the-hip, big-picture, freedom-loving Sagittarius, you can expect details and tact to get a little slippery today. This is magnified by retrograde Mercury’s cozy contact with Neptune. Yes, the details matter; however, trying to focus on them as your only (or primary) guide today might leave you falling short. By all means, double-check facts and specifics; but giving yourself time and space to let more intuitive channels inform your approach to the day will likely help tremendously. Kind of like how fins are better for swimming than mountain-climbing shoes are.

It’s simply about using the right gear (or technique) for the terrain. You can continue to be cautious and methodical in Mercury-ruled areas (purchases, tech, communication, thought processes) even if you’re not coming at things from an analytical standpoint. If you misspeak, consider using a different form of communication to explain or apologize; if that’s not an option, notice if you start to over-explain, and then dial things back.

Planet Waves Daily Oracle for Monday, March 25, 2019

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo monthly for December 29, 2016.

Every new circumstance benefits from a new perspective. While experience counts for a lot, it is equally as important to be capable of temporarily setting aside, if not forgetting, what you know whenever life gives you a fresh start. If you have recently entered an environment in any way different from where you have been before, now is a good time to evaluate both what you brought in with you and how things are working out for you. It could very well be that any new associates would ultimately benefit from perceptions you gained in a different climate. It is just as likely, however, that you stand to learn a thing or two from those who already know the ropes. In order to maximize the possibility of mutually beneficial exchanges between you and those you are in the process of fitting in with, do what you can to make it known you are willing to listen first and share opinions later. — By Len Wallick.

As we go deeper into this most unusual and challenging phase of history, intelligence is the thing we need the most.

The Day of Beguiling Simplicity | Pre-order Your 2019-20 Aries Reading | All Other Signs

Recognize that in living through many of your past experiences, especially the most seminal, you’ve come away with a gift: be that additional strength, wisdom, friendship or something else. These moments have helped shape the person you are today, and as you continue along your path, you can use them as beacons to light the way and help you acclimatize to the new territory. You have more of a grasp in this area than you know.

Written in the Planets

Can you spend today daydreaming, playing with art supplies (creative writing or anything visual/performance-based/musical/poetic also counts), or immersing yourself in your spiritual side? Any of those activities, practiced within clear boundaries, could be a fun and safe way to express the combined energies of Mercury and Neptune today. With Mercury retrograde, you might add to the list of ideal activities a review of creative or spiritual lessons that could apply to your current situation.

That said, Mercury-Neptune in Pisces, combined with some Aries-Cap square energy, describes the need to use discernment and a light touch today in all actions and communications. Check back with yesterday’s Written in the Planets for more detail on that score. There’s pent-up energy looking for a way out, mixed with a generally soft grip on things like mental focus; and the only person you can truly direct through this is yourself. A sextile between Venus in Aquarius and the Galactic Center and Ixion in Sagittarius may offer a second chance to serve the highest good through an act of friendship. To do so, however, you’ll need to stick closely to your ethics. That could be tricky right now; regular reality checks will be crucial.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Pisces weekly for August 16, 2013.

Given the choice between focusing your energy on healing or pleasure, I suggest you opt for pleasure. It’s just as healing as anything else, especially now. Given the choice between taking on more responsibility or expressing yourself creatively, I suggest you go for passion rather than duty. Given the choice between taking care of yourself or others, take care of yourself first. Your sense of passion is, at least at the moment, closely tuned to or synchronized with the deeper levels of necessity than what you will encounter in the work-a-day world. You may need to guide yourself into that frame of reference, however, making a series of choices until you find an easy opening. This may take some gentle persistence but it’s easier than solving the Rubik’s Cube with your eyes open. In fact you are incredibly perceptive at the moment, and if you look through both your normal sense and your Piscean ‘extra’ senses, and have a good idea of what you want, you are very likely to find whatever that is.

Get ready to dive deep into the mystery of you, to find information that will point you toward your next phase of personal growth and possibly thorough healing. Note that you will make all the more progress if you can meet any fear or self-judgment with some detachment, which will help keep them from interfering with your ideas and understanding. Approach every new fact with an open mind, and a willingness to learn more, and you’ll probably free up a lot of power within you.

Written in the Planets

As we head into the final week of Mercury’s current retrograde in Pisces, a couple of aspect patterns are calling for your awareness. The more pressurized one is a square between the Sun, Chiron and Salacia in Aries on one side, and Pholus and Quaoar in Capricorn on the other (exact today and Sunday). There’s a lot of energy here looking for a way out into the world, and that happens through action. Some of it may have been tapped and released by Wednesday’s Full Moon, but it appears there’s still more to go. It’s asking a question: who are you (including sexually) in relation to your family’s behavioral patterns?

Consider for a moment that the identity you came into the world with has been molded and re-directed by your family as you grew up. What might happen if you took steps to reassert who you feel yourself to be at your core? It’s easy to assume that we’ll encounter strict limits to our self-expression if we do. Yet, has it occurred to you that the expectations and seemingly set reactions of family might not be so iron-clad as you thought? Or, at least, that you’re capable of standing in your center regardless? Pholus here is both a reminder of how little it can take to ‘keep us in our place’ and an indication of how little we may need to do to shift family dynamics toward a place where we can stand out for who we are in a more integrated way.

Meanwhile, retrograde Mercury’s two-week conjunction to Neptune is exact tomorrow. Keep tracking your intuition and other subtle senses, but also be sure to check facts. Notice carefully all facets of your environment — the external surroundings, the moods of others (both expressed and unexpressed), and your inner emotional/mental landscape. A disturbance or distraction in one is likely to affect the others. Even though Mercury retrograde in Pisces might not feel as scattered or harsh as some others, the presence of Neptune is a red flag to keep your mind as clear as possible this weekend (and for the next week-plus), and to be extra-careful with things like purchases, commitments and what you may be projecting onto others.

Today’s Oracle takes us to the Cancer monthly for March 19, 2007.

When the Sun finally crosses the sensitive career angle of your solar chart at the time of the equinox, you will see whether the result of your effort was worth the complications, the effort and the strange adventures. You will have traveled far and wide, only to return to an old place and see it — and yourself — in an entirely new way.

The Day of Direct Current: Birthdays and Planet News

Consider that you are a whole, unfragmented being. We all have parts of ourselves we find challenging or that seem unfamiliar, and you may recently have discovered one. Where might this side of you have sprung from? What was its purpose, and can it still be useful to you today? Answering these questions will give you a fuller picture of who you are, and will probably leave you on far better terms with yourself.

Written for the Planets
One of the overarching conditions of the sky right now is the presence of a curious number of planets in a particular slice of their respective signs — specifically, from about 23-26 degrees. Many of these objects are making squares or sextiles to each other, which imply potential movement and integration. The squares urge action, and the sextiles offer opportunities to get some traction if you make the effort.

Without trying to detail each individual aspect in the pattern, there seem to be a few themes worth looking for in your life currently. Among those are: the idea of fair or mutually beneficial social exchange (how can you offer your friendship in a new way? How might you want to use your social capital to further a collective goal?); discerning actual sexual energy from other energy that’s been magnified or perceived too broadly; making time and holding space for sex where appropriate; the choice between diplomacy or subversion when feeling pressured to make foundational changes.

Yet today’s major aspect is not part of that particular pattern: the Sun conjunct Chiron in very early Aries. Notice today where you’re being asked to stand out in some way — not in terms of glamour or ego; rather, the act of being fully who you are no matter what others around you are doing. It relates to having a sense of purpose. How well does yours match your current outward reality? What would you need to do to draw that sense of purpose into your actions better? Bear in mind that doing so might not fit what others consider ‘normal’ patterns. So what?
