MOON REMAINS IN CAPRICORN until 11:36am EDT on Monday, March 12 when it goes VOID OF COURSE FOR most of the day. At 6:44pm the MOON ENTERS AQUARIUS. It remains here until 3:32am on Thursday, March 15. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Sextile Mars in Sagittarius. Important practical
actions during the V/C period are likely not to work out as planned.
Most of Monday is likely to feel like nothing of importance is accomplished. It's best to use this time for inner creative work or imagining future
actions. This Fixed Air Aquarian Moon with the Mars in Sag Last Aspect indicates a very mentally and physically Energetic period. Ideas are likely to burst into our imagination - and we should Act on them Now! Mars is now at 27º Sagittarius which is considered the Galactic Center. We might intuit a force of nature coming through inspiring us to take projects initiated on the last Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse in February to the next level of participation. Aquarius symbolizes communities, organizations, setting goals, and getting out the Word! Uranus rules the electronic/digital world, so distributing wisdom/information on-line should meet with receptive ears. Aquarius reflects Equality, Liberation and Revolution. It suggests a more detached, objective and scientific perspective. Putting this all together in a political framework can point us in the celestially appropriate direction.
As we enter the Age of Aquarius, we might aspire to utilize every activation of its archetype to its fullest and in its most optimum expression.
Aquarian Note: The last Aquarian New Moon Solar
Eclipse brought us the Parkland School shootings in Florida. Looking back we can now see a two-fold astrological interpretation. While the Last Aspect of that New Moon was Sun Conjunct Moon - which is most often a very positive indication for New Beginnings - the Eclipse phenomenon, when the conscious light of the Sun is blocked, intensifies any situation. Both the Sun and Moon were in potentially explosive Uranus-ruled Aquarius (the shocking shootings). But we
can hold the intention that the New Moon
indicates a thrust into the next chapter on Gun Control - as well as other current socio/political concerns. And we can take
Saturnian responsibility for the individual and collective aggression we can't seem to
control...or don't want to. Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius (before Uranus was discovered by William Herschel in 1781) and still has archetypal significance. Indeed, there are two types of Aquarians: Uranian (unconventional) or Saturnian (traditional). Try musing about these differences with your Aquarian friends (Sun, Moon or Ascendant)!
AQUARIAN SCENE: Homeland, Season 6, 2017. Director: Lesli Linka Glatter. This is a clip of the creative opening-credits montage from the sixth season of this remarkable Showtime series. The voiceover dramatically recapitulates the Aquarian theme so very well. "The Revolution will not be televised..." Assuming it was a nationalistic tribute to a pretense of government security, I wasn't drawn to watch this series until a few years ago. I was mistaken. The drama, which is based on the critically acclaimed 2010 Israeli television series Prisoners of War, dares to go to the underbelly of America and draw its many shadows out into the light. Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin, F. Murray Abraham and Rupert Friend make it come alive.
ON ANOTHER AQUARIAN NOTE...I serendipitously came upon this article promoting the current Northwestern University Block Museum exhibit entitled: William Blake and the Age of Aquarius. Given Blake is my namesake, I loved the connection. The presentation is based on the recently published book of the same name by S.F. Eisenman. The interactive nature of the show allows those who had the misfortune to miss the '60's cultural revolution first-hand, an opportunity to immerse themselves in the art, music and lifestyle of my generation's identity-shaping moment in time. Visionary poet and artist Blake was an inspiration for many contemporary musicians, poets, photographers and painters - including Allen Ginsberg, Jimi Hendrix, Agnes Martin, The Doors, Robert Frank and Jackson Pollack - all driven to express a Uranian/Aquarian breakthrough or revolution in their perspective of the world. In Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, he writes: "If the doors of perception
were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For
man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks
of his cavern." The curators of the exhibit believe Blake's time has come around again. I can go for that.
