Neptune, the planet of dreams, the dream realm, imagination, illusions, delusions, madness, addiction, love and spirit and the spirit realm ended a retrograde period that began June 25 yesterday at 8:22 AM EST. The deeper meaning of our dreams and visions of the past five months will begin to form in our conscious mind over the next few weeks. This in turn leads to new understanding of our journey and to fresh inspiration in our life. Art that we create over the winter will resonate more authentically. Indeed those who felt blocked or uninspired may find
the creative sluice gates have opened wide. Many of us will embark on new spiritual journeys or commit to new paths of healing as a response to unhealthy habits and states of being formed in the early and middle stages of the pandemic. We can begin to see our way out now. We can allow hope and optimism space in our being again. Duncan de la Montagne Monday is a magical action day, be it activism or seduction. Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces. We feel inspired. Mystic spiritual energy is channeling through us. Our eyes are opened to new realities, to new truth. Our imagination and our passion are stimulated. This is a time to trust our intuition and and our instincts, to let me guide our actions. We possess the courage and spiritual fortitude to stand up for ourself now and to advocate for worthwhile causes that resonate with our core being. We are drawn to romance and sensuality under these energies. This is a wonderful energy window for attracting a deep and honest relationship or for enjoying an erotic adventure with a partner already present in our life. These energies will have a strong influence through to Tuesday night.
Duncan de la Montagne There is a lot of playful yin/yang energy available today with a Venus/Mars sextile exact at 17 degrees of Capricorn and Scorpio respectively. Both these signs enjoy pleasure and are passionate in their way. These current Venus/Mars interplanetary energies stimulate and are ideal for socializing, flirting, dating, fun and sex. Go on, interact! We're humans, it's what we do. Gather in a virus-responsibly way with friends. Hang out with a best friend. Spend time with a lover or develop an intimate connection with a new person. Life is short. Death and the Universal Beyond awaits us all. Live while you can, and live as well as you can. This Venus/Mars sextile will have a strong influence on the cosmic energy mix both Thursday and Friday.
Duncan de la Montagne Our thinking aligns with the new Zodiac Season as Mercury transits into Sagittarius today. The Moon moves into Leo at 10:59 EST this morning, boosting the passionate Fire Element energies of the day. We are definitely about the big picture now and will be until the 16th of December when Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn. Details can be ignored though or missed altogether during this expansive, philosophical and idealistic transit. Details are important however and in fact success in anything is usually contingent on them. Mutable Fire energy is quick to ignite and intense, however it needs to harnessed and focused for a sustained period of time otherwise we are simply beginning many things and bringing few or none of them to fruition. There is a heightened risk now of falling into judgmental obsession and patterns of sanctimonious self-righteous preaching. This is not constructive behavior. It does however serve to feed the ego in a toxic manner though by promoting self-serving feelings of moral superiority over other people, sick behavior really that has caused much pain and suffering to many other human beings over the course of history. However, if we stay spiritual and maintain our sense of humor this can be a joyous, productive and inspiring point in our year. Jupiter rules the sign of Sagittarius. At its best Jupiter is a planet of hope, optimism, healthy growth and well-being. At its worst it is an amplifier of negativity, chaos and toxic destructiveness.
Duncan de la Montagne. The Sun meets the South Node (old or bad karma) in a conjunction today and what we need to let go of is revealed. We all carry things that do not nurture or nourish us and this is the moment to let them go so they do not impede our future progress and so they do not bring negative results or harsh consequences our way. On another level this would not be good day for launches, openings or other sundry beginnings. Nor is it a day to push things or take risk. Take extra caution if your Natal Nodes are in Mutable Quality signs and even more caution if they form up in a grand square with two other planets.
Duncan de la Montagne The planet of the mind meets the planet of darkness and renewal in a harmonious Water/Earth engagement as Mercury in Scorpio sextiles Pluto. We can tap into deeper truth now. We can access wisdom. We can gain greater insight into situations that affect us. We seek deep interactions. We are attracted to mysteries under the energies of this aspect. We can become obsessed with uncovering secrets. We possess the intellectual powers, the tenacity and the intuition necessary to find answers, to reveal motives and to uncover plots now. This is a perfect energy portal for studies, writing papers and exams. We can present extremely persuasive arguments now that can help us
further our cause or a cause. On the psychological and spiritual levels we can gain better understanding of our self and our journey now. The energies of this aspect will continue on into Monday. Duncan de la Montagne Mercury in Scorpio squares Jupiter Saturday and Sunday. This aspect can have us in our head in an unhealthy obsessive sort of way. Take an action toward the solution in any problem you have hanging over your head. Then turn the result over to the Universe and ground yourself in the present moment. There is peace to be found there. This aspect can affect perception and stimulate worst case scenario thinking. Do not indulge catastrophizing. Stop obsessing over things that have not happened yet and may never happen. Dramatic exaggeration of emotion and over-sharing are also by-products of this Mercury in Scorpio aspect. There is some very playful Gemini lunar energy available today if one can detach from over-thinking and simply let them self enjoy the day. Consider just getting over it all and allowing yourself to be happy.
Duncan de la Montagne A Full Moon lunation occurs at 27:14 degrees of Taurus on Friday November 19 at 3:57 AM EST. There is a partial eclipse. This Full Moon aligns with the fixed star Algol. Life in the world can hold a lot of grey tones, however there is also darkness and light. The same holds true for the Universe. Called the Demon Star, Algol is seen as the most evil star in the sky. Algol has been known to bring violence and destruction, illness as well. Magickal practitioners need to take great care as to exactly what they are summoning in their Full Moon rituals. Spell-work can go south and things can get to a really bad place very quickly now. Adherence to spiritual principles and staying faithful to authentic vision of one's purpose in life can serve to keep the worst effects of this dark star from one's life. There can be a strong need to express oneself at any cost now. This can lead to calamitous emotional outbursts and breakdowns. You can certainly access the deepest areas of your subconscious now. This can lead to the overcoming of fear and the healing of ancient wounds. Financial and love matters can come full circle now. Venus trines Uranus now so there is an element of exploration and rebellion in the mix, particularly in the sex and love realm.
Duncan de la Montagne Chaos abounds. Plots are hatched. Conditions are ripe for mischief and mayhem. Mars in Scorpio is opposite Uranus in Taurus now. Eruptions and explosions are likely anywhere anger and frustration have been building. Reckless impulsive action can lead to serious self-sabotage now. Accidents and misadventure are more likely under these energies. Don't rush things. Pay attention to your surroundings. Look for any sudden shifts in energy or direction. This is definitely a time to be more cautious than usual, especially Fixed Sun Sign people.
Duncan de la Montagne We are reminded now that while we do have agency in our life we also live in the world and we live in the world on life's terms, not our own. The energies of the Mercury/Uranus opposition brings the unexpected into the cosmic mix. Surprise news, for better or for worse, can come our way now. The blend of this aspect with the current Sun, Moon, Neptune Scorpio/Pisces energies can cause us to misinterpret things. Might want to think twice before you hit send. Plans and agendas opposite to our own or to our interests can be revealed now. Deception or betrayal may come to light. Adapting to previously unpredictable change may be required. Sudden insights can come to us now. Epiphanies and moments of clarity and new awareness. Creative solutions. Innovative creative self-expression. It will be important to capture the moment. Pencil and notebook paper or voice record on your phone can be quite helpful to that end. Be careful with impulse now.
