The sky, right now

☽ Moon in Cancer · ☉ Sun in Libra · Venus Rx · Saturn Rx · Uranus Rx

New to this? The words on this plate, in plain English.

Rx, retrograde:: a planet that looks like it is moving backwards from here. Whatever that planet is in charge of goes sideways for a while: Mercury is messages and plans, Venus is love and wanting, Mars is drive, Saturn is duty.
The Moon’s sign:: the Moon changes sign every two or three days and sets the mood of the whole room. It is the part of the sky you feel without knowing why.
The Sun’s sign:: the season we are all in. It changes once a month and is the sign most people mean when they say "I’m a Libra."

Today, for Virgo

☽ Moon in Leo · ☉ Sun in Libra · Venus Rx · Saturn Rx · Uranus Rx · Neptune Rx · Pluto Rx

The Moon is nearly dark in your twelfth house, the room behind the door, and Mars is sitting right there with it. Mercury and Venus, both in your house of talk, square that Moon all day. So there is something you half-wrote and did not send. You open the draft, fix a comma, close it. Then you clean the kitchen at an odd hour with a restlessness that has no name and no task. This is a sky for the unglamorous last chapter. Finishing, not starting. Deleting the draft or sending it, either, but not the third day of editing. Sleep counts as work to-day. Some of you know exactly which message this is about.

What the planets are doing to all of us

The sky is doing it to all of us at once.

Five planets are retrograde at the same time: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. The sky is stuck in reverse and so is everybody's week.

Texts land wrong, plans slip, and people from before turn up like they never left.

Venus leans on Jupiter, exact now. A door between what you want and what you believe is possible is open a crack.

The Moon is in Virgo, so everyone is noticing what is wrong and fixing the wrong thing.

The Moon is emptying out, and it is taking things with it whether you are finished with them or not.

That is the weather. It is the same for everyone; what differs is where it lands on you.

What the planets ask of us

Closes at midnight, 22 hours from now. Then a new one opens.

Venus is retrograde. Old feelings, old people, second thoughts. How's your heart today?

your word goes here. sign in first: no password, just an address.

Five answered under this sky.

My heart is feeling strong · Full! · Cycles. Life is cycles. Find the comfort in that. Old and new here at the same time.

Too few to see a thread yet. That is not broken, it is early.
