~It's What It Is~

Moon in Pisces

|Karmically difficult or sobering third| of this week continues until near sunrise Wednesday

/moon void-of-course    ** / |

until it enters Aries at 11:47p PT | 2:47a(W) ET | 6:47a(W) UT   ** |

The moon being void-of-course has an interesting significance while occurring in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. The two indications combined suggest nothingness, nirvana, or the Void; experiencing peace, or maybe indifference, or a sense of resignation, "things are what they are," and willingness to drift or wait and just let things happen. Or one can take the position of the Witness, the observing Purusha or Witness Soul, who sees the games, tricks, and plays of Maya as entertainment or an interesting spectacle which he can turn from whenever he chooses to do so. 

The v-of-c period may not be "good" for ordinary business, but there can be happy surprises during these times, so there is no need to despair. Plodding on with ordinary work is a good thing usually. Or, if you have the latitude, you could take a break from it, or multiple breaks as opportunity allows. "I'll do it but I'm not going to be obsessive about it." There are side paths which do not necessarily detract from the main path but make it more interesting when one returns to it.

The sun's trine with Saturn (exact today and tomorrow) can be an aspect of "Reality is reality, let's be content with it." 

At the same time the sun is square Pluto exactly, which is "Business is business, not fun but necessary, and big business is disgusting, but it is here and I have to deal with it." In other words we complain about Big Business, corporate greed, and the like, yet we cash in the little coupons the corporations give us as enticements, and watch the TV ads they supply as pseudo-entertainment, and on and on. It's a Donald Trump aspect, greed deified or demonized or both.

Venus is trining Mars in a slow way, so love, however one understands that word and what it signifies, is here. This aspect becomes exact by the 11th-12th and ends on the 20th. It is an aspect of harmony. What seems ugly sometimes in people becomes, rather, interesting or harmless or exotic. People are more relaxed with one another. The little things which each of us prides himself or herself about take on a glamor or a natural easiness which make us feel good about ourselves and the way others respond. 

But, yes, we are in the |difficult third| of this week all day, so combining that with the v-of-c, it is important to keep one's morale when things seem pointless or disturbing. "Why is this even happening? Why do people act this way? What's the point? Why not just take a nap instead?" So the peacefulness propounded above can come to our rescue, together with the lurking Venus-trine-Mars background of harmony and mutual admiration. Seeing something good about everyone becomes easier.
