Prepare to take a revolutionary new perspective on your identity, especially in the context of others in your life, past and present. We are each partly made up of the relationships we’ve had, of our roots and of our own unique, irreplaceable energy. You are on the brink of a discovery regarding how all these facets of your being weave together to form the phenomenon that is you. May it inspire and delight.

With the Scorpio Moon moving towards its opposition to the Taurus Sun (tomorrow’s Full Moon), notice whether and with whom you’re feeling any tension. It could be emotional, sexual or physical; it might take the form of stubbornness, possessiveness, or a need to be expressive coming up against an urge to be private. If you’re feeling frustrated, can you communicate that in a constructive way, rather than projecting the frustration onto the other person in hopes that they’ll figure it out and address what’s wrong for you?

Beginning by emphasizing the ways you (and the other person) are safe and secure could help to set the groundwork for more productive negotiations over the next couple of days. Even something as simple as being sure you’re both well fed and rested may help — though if a situation is truly high stakes and feels like it’s volatile, waiting until after Saturday might be wiser. With Mars in Cancer still moving into its opposition to Pholus in Capricorn, strong emotional reactions have the potential to spiral out of control.

That said, sex could be a useful outlet over the next few days, particularly if you stay aware of how you’re connecting emotionally to your partner (and/or to yourself). Venus in Taurus is holding open the door for some experimentation and surprises in relationships; actively seeking new stimulation should help to mitigate any uncomfortable feelings of disruption. Today, in particular, it might be satisfying to review and restructure the spaces in your home (and therefore in yourself) set aside for erotic or creative self-exploration.

Communicate your feelings and thoughts as clearly as you can to loved ones. You’re experiencing some deeply transformative astrology, and would almost certainly benefit from the support of those around you as you navigate the various changes. The closer you bring friends into the picture, the more engaged they are likely to be as your allies. An atmosphere of mutual trust and confidence may well aid their growth processes as well as yours.

Focus on practical matters as much as possible today. A trine between Mercury in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn should open the door to nuts-and-bolts, ground-level work, and the ability to be persistent with it. You might pay particular attention to ways you’ve been needing to re-organize your immediate environment or workspace, especially if that coincides with some inner re-organizing that’s afoot. Mercury in Taurus combined with a Libra Moon could bring your attention to the aesthetics of the situation.

Right around 5:30 pm EDT, the Moon enters Scorpio. This potentially ups everyone’s emotional intensity and the need to get under the surface of something tonight — especially as the Moon makes aspects to several sensitive planets very early in signs. With both Mars newly in Cancer and Venus newly in Taurus (alongside Uranus), this could mean that some form of sexual self-investigation may be on the agenda, whether solo or with a playmate. Finances might also be a prime target for your attention.

Believe it or Not: Scorpio Full Moon

On Saturday, we have the Scorpio Full Moon tucked into a busy chart. Yet it’s happening as Mars makes contact with some potent, society-defining slow movers elsewhere in the sky. There’s a lot of energy zinging around currently — some of it may feel quite personal or internal; some of it might be coming through to you the way the noises of next-door demolition and construction come through a window, even if it’s closed. You may be experiencing a challenging combination of both.

Prepare to shift your perspective. A series of revelations may be of assistance in opening your mind to your true capabilities, or helping you consider a path you might not otherwise have thought to take. You can sweep away certain self-imposed limitations; what might once have felt like a stabilizing force may now be merely holding you back, as a child’s walker would hinder them once they’d learned how to run. Allow yourself the room to take off at full speed.

Venus comes ‘home’ today to Taurus, the first sign it rules (the other being Libra). But guess what? Uranus is right inside the door, rearranging the furniture. Since Venus in Taurus tends to like its comfortable routines, environments that rarely change, and replicable sensory pleasures, this situation presents an interesting dynamic. And since Venus represents the ‘female principle’ — no matter your sex, gender, or orientation — along with love, receptivity, relationship style and some level of emotional and aesthetic sense, you may wish to tune in to these facets of your life especially carefully the next several days.

Where do you feel ready to change things up, or notice that changes are happening and you’re enjoying them (even if unexpectedly)? Where are you encountering resistance to a gnawing sense that something’s gotta give, or feel tempted to cling to how things have always been? Efforts to repress the need for new stimulation could manifest in some chaotic disruption. But a willingness to experiment may help to mitigate unwanted surprises.

Mars also moves to a new sign today (Cancer), but won’t get there until just after 11 pm EDT. So if you’re feeling an especially acute or hard-to-parse case of split desires, conflicting motivations or multiple frustrations until then, this may be why. Once Mars makes its move, track your emotional reactions. Some of what is feeding into that could be very old material (as in, relating to past generations — read Eric’s in-depth coverage of Mars entering the cardinal cross here). How you act on it, or assert it to someone else, could start a surprisingly far-reaching ripple effect. Luckily, Mercury and Neptune are conspiring to offer some intuitive help and — if needed — a brief, imaginative escape.

Cultivate harmony in your various relationships (including that with yourself). That means: endeavor to maintain a state of peace and of trust unless there is a good reason not to, and lead the way in showing kindness and friendliness. Our culture badly needs a fresh supply of warmth, and you have the qualities to make an excellent ambassador. In addition, when we invite others in, our own lives become exponentially and profoundly enriched.

Chances are your feelings and actions will be relatively in sync today, thanks to a sextile between Venus in Aries and Mars in Gemini. This is looking like quite a social setup, with a nice balance between giving and receiving, friendship and sex, self-assertion and relating. Yet here’s the thing to be aware of: both of these planets are in the last degree of their respective signs. Plus, Venus is inching closer to Uranus the Awakener, and Mars is moving into contact with some planets dealing with deep and far-reaching themes. This could add up to an odd sort of edginess mixed in with your more affable, social inclinations.

For example, you may feel a little scattered or impulsive, or like you’re not sure if your interactions with others can handle all the energy you need to discharge. Opportunities to be social — particularly in a group setting, even if your conversations are all one-on-one — look like a balanced way to channel it all; though follow your instincts. If you encounter someone with great integrity and honesty, or who seems un-empathetic and inflexible, it will likely offer a clear barometer of how this astrology is manifesting for you, and you can then adjust accordingly. The Moon entering grace-and-beauty-loving Libra for the second half of the day will resonate with Venus and Mars. That should help to mellow things some, as those two planets both prepare to change signs tomorrow.

You may find that your thoughts today offer some traction regarding current emotional needs in a relationship, and how they relate to past emotional or sexual boundary transgressions (Mercury is in aspect to Juno and Nessus). That may sound like a lot, but think about it: most of what we feel we need (and most of what we react to, positively or negatively) in close partnerships has its roots in issues from long ago — even from past generations.

It might be tempting to camp out in a familiar line of thinking on the subject; it’s easy to get possessive about the seeming badge of honor conferred by pain. But if you can get grounded in the more tangible realities of the present moment, you might find it easier to make use of any surprising insights that have some to you recently. In other words: listen to your senses, feel your body, notice the abundance of resources in your life. You likely have more security than you realize, though it’s actually springing from within you. The Moon enters Virgo at 11:22 am EDT — offering just the right mood for some serious re-organizing before diving into the workweek fray.

In the background today is some great energy for working steadily for what you want, thanks to a Sun-Saturn trine. That might apply to what you hope to accomplish just this day, or regarding a longer-term project. At the same time, we have an interesting first quarter Moon (Leo Moon square the Taurus Sun): the asteroids Arachne and Minerva are closely conjunct the Sun. Minerva is the Roman version of Athena, who was closely connected to Arachne in myth (Google it). One possible reading of this combination is that awareness of your inherent talent, power and wisdom will help to get things done, as long as you also demonstrate some genuine humility in whatever you do today.

There’s always something left to learn, after all — and pride can easily trip up even the most gifted person. It’s not as complex as it seems, and this approach could in fact help keep a situation from getting a little thorny. An opposition between Mars in Gemini and the Galactic Core in Sagittarius seems to be asking what your options are in the face of some kind of spiritual truth — or someone who appears to represent such. Are you caught in moral ambivalence, or is there a clear path forward? How do your desires relate to ‘the highest good for all concerned’?

Consider the difference between an inner fire that drives the accomplishment of something lasting, and an impulse that burns itself out. The flame kindled in the depths of your inner being could be channeled in either direction, and you are in charge of the fuel and the housing. Choose a timeframe for meeting your goals that is achievable and that allows you to sustain your pace; and check in with your wellbeing.

Today and tomorrow, Venus in Aries moves into contact with a few important planets. First among them: the square between Pluto in Capricorn and Eris in Aries. Venus-Pluto aspects tend to reflect intense emotional and/or sexual experiences. This may be especially true regarding changes in a relationship that need to be acknowledged and accommodated so the relationship can keep growing.

Eris in the mix is a red flag to stay aware of how noticing, processing and expressing these changes can feel a little destabilizing. After all, even though relationship dynamics shift because of individual changes that are already happening to the people involved, it can feel like a threat to one’s identity when a partnership is compelled to evolve. If that feels scary to you, it’s key to see it for what it is, and own your reactions; engaging in manipulative or attention-seeking behavior in an effort to hang on to what has been is only going to cause difficulty.

In fact, even if you simply run into someone new that you’re hot for, it would be wise to stay super-aware of when you might be tempted to seek their attention via particularly subversive or ‘sneaky’ methods. Thankfully you have some support, described by Venus making a trine today to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This speaks of fun, easy, lively social interactions. It’s an aspect that’s not known for a great deal of serious follow-through, however. That could help take the edge off any insecurity-based actions and reactions. If contentment sneaks in where you truly need to address bigger issues, just know you’ll have to face them sooner or later. So why not try it now while Jupiter has your back?
