THE GOOD
Once again, the stars will align to bring great support. If you look back on the previous Scorpio Moon period, you may remember how you received help and support from others for your own internal crises. That was because of the positive aspects from the Sun and Venus in Pisces. We have a similar alignment occurring here. The Sun will continue to provide you with generally external support and flow. You will not find as many obstacles getting in your way and keeping you from enacting your will.
We also have phenomenal sextile from exalted Venus in Pisces. Compassion, kindness, and interpersonal harmony all abound. The arts will flourish too here - grab some friends and have a painting party, or go see a show. If you’re looking to reconnect and share experiences with loved ones in your life, now is the time to do so. Especially considering….
THE BAD
It’s a Capricorn Moon. The whole atmosphere just feels heavier, weightier, and less fun. It’s like a long rainy day. Expect to have less motivation to get anything done or accomplished in the world. Also expect to shame yourself for being lazy. Questions of duty, discipline, and obligation all arise here. Be on the lookout for shame spirals.
Again, your hope comes from your friends and allies during this period. Do not neglect them! Let them temper the natural severity of this period.
THE WYRD
The Greek Magical Papyri (PGM) says this about the Cap Moon: “say whatever you wish for best results.” If nothing else, the grounded, sturdy, reliable nature of Capricorn opens up a lot of doorways. You can do most kinds of magic here - all you have to do is speak it into being.
A Saturn ritual for letting go would be auspicious on Saturday night after the Moon has entered into Capricorn. The Moon is greatly waning, and Saturn aids in releasing attachments, bad habits, etc. This would also serve well for grounding yourself.
Remember, everything that I tell you here needs to be indexed to your natal chart, especially the house placement of the Moon, any major transits and the time lords in your life. A strong period for one person may be more challenging for another. I am currently taking on new clients for readings, and I would be very happy to walk you through your own chart and astrological weather - book a session with me here!
Astrological Signatures
Entry: Saturday, March 6th at 9:20pm EST / Sunday, March 7th at 2:20am UTC.
Departure: Tuesday, March 9th at 2:40am EST / 7:40am UTC.
Moon in Capricorn: Detriment of the Moon. The Capricornian emphasis on duty, social cohesion, and work ethic tends to overpower the Moon’s emphasis on nurture and self-care. Outer events won’t conspire to make you feel emotionally comfortable; hard work and discipline will be asked of you instead.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Moveable Earth. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The Moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The earth element emphasizes the physical body and propensity for work, and the Moon in an earth sign often expresses more practicality, groundedness, and a concern for the material world.
Moon’s ruler: Aversion to Saturn in Aquarius, but this is offset by the like-engirding or homozonias principle in virtue of them being in signs of the same rulership. This provides decent support to ensure that the Moon’s significations will ground and that the work done during this period will be long-lasting.
Relationship to the Sun: Super Sextile to the Sun in Pisces. This is a positive placement. You will find reasonable support and flow between your own intentions and desires, and what the world has to offer and will support you in doing.
Aspect
Superior Sextile to Venus in Pisces. Grace in interpersonal interactions and dialogue. Harmony and agreement between people is heightened, and individuals will be more motivated to get along with each other.
