As we move into the final few days of this lunar cycle – a Moonwane in Aries – you could feel your faith in yourself dwindling. Mars, the ruler of Aries is perceptive in Pisces but not ultra-Yang or forward-driving. And with geopolitical tensions and economic fuquery trending up, you could crave a bit of extra oomph.
So, here are a few suggestions for making the most of this Moonwane before the New Moon Eclipse on Sat/Sun:
(1) Recall that Mercury trine Pluto – as it is turning Retrograde – is incredibly cool for strategizing & appraising scenarios. If you can’t progress something as rapidly or in the style you want, maybe it’s a cue to re-think it or take time out to reconnect with your instincts?
(2) The very same influence also inspires a certain style of person to step it up with their manipulative coercion tactics and, because you’re prepared, you gain from a simple, calm deflection. Draw on all the energy in fixed signs of the zodiac to set an unwavering stance against vibe vampires.
(3) If you’re feeling uncertain, frazzled or despondent, look to augment someone in a more precarious position than you – it’s not just an old-school version of virtue signalling. You do it in a low key way so there’s no signal anyway but the main deal is that it somehow resets the energy field around you: you’re the helper. It’s also brilliant for activating the current (and fortunate) Venus-Jupiter alignment.
(4) As it’s pre-Mercury Retro and this Moon crosses techie Chiron, streamlining or innovating technical aspects of your life is therapeutic.
(5) Maybe it’s just semantics, but if the current atmosphere is making you think you should cut back etc, try to see it more in terms of self-reliance and independence – totally Taurean New Moon-ish. Eg: not so much “can’t afford xyz” as “don’t need to get xyz from supermarket as I grow it.” Or “my self-created skincare regime is a million times more magic than being a target market.”
