We’ve gone down the rabbit hole of the eclipse and come out punch drunk and exhausted, just wishing for a little bit of rest. We’ll get it, in a form, but it will be the kind of lull where we’re all nerved up with nowhere to go. We’re tired: of having to focus, of heart-wrenching disasters near and far, of the effort that doesn’t seem to have a definitive end or payoff. Much of this is due to Mercury as it sits poised to direction and speed, and we can feel it on every nerve.

The answer, at least for today, may be found in the intellect. The Moon enters Aquarius at 9:17 AM PST, and our refuge could be the Higher Mind. It’s a good day for planning, for mulling, and for getting our notes in order; the aspects the Moon enjoys will bring their own trials, and a little mental distance and a stance of ‘if I just think about this, make a list, make a plan all will go well’  can at least get us through, both distracting ourselves from the random shrapnel flying left and right, and getting a modest amount done.

The Moon semi-sextiles Pluto=the emotions and/ or the intuitive perceptions may be challenged with some unpleasant realities or disturbing secrets; don’t take it too seriously, things can be sorted out later when our emotional heart has recovered from the blow. Moon semi-sextile Mercury=words and thoughts seem set in stone; again, those tablets can be sanded down–nothing is unchangeable. Moon trine Saturn=time for that sorting Pluto promised you’d need! Reality calms and helps us get perspective; things aren’t as topsy-turvy as we feared. Moon quincunx Vesta=we’ll be lucky enough to see precisely where we need to adjust the emotional perceptions in order to honor those things we find sacred in life. This offers us an excellent barometer against which we see just how much we may have overreacted to Pluto and Mercury earlier. Put your feet up–time for that cocktail, kids!
