Astrology for Saturday, 14 March 2020:

Today Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces, offering fresh inspiration and imagination to our drives to accomplish great things. The Moon in Scorpio makes a square to Mercury in Aquarius and a sextile to Saturn in Capricorn before ingressing into Sagittarius. As we move through the depths of our most vulnerable places, we may find that there are difficult truths that need to be spoken and healthy boundaries that need to be cultivated. Putting words to what has been hidden and asking for what we need can ask us to confront our own shame. Brené Brown has said, “Shame is really easily understood as the fear of disconnection: Is there something about me that, if other people know it or see it, that I won't be worthy of connection?” The Moon moving through Scorpio is reminding us, however, that in order to truly experience connection, love, and belonging, it is exactly these parts of ourselves that we have to be willing to share, to speak, to be seen. The Moon then ingresses into Sagittarius, bringing our attention back out into the wider world where we move out beyond our own borders. However, with Jupiter—the ruler of Sagittarius—in Capricorn, the Moon does not have reception here. Our focus may shift from our inner lives to the world around us, but we may feel a bit lost or disoriented by the shifting, changing world through which we are moving. Finally, the Sun in Pisces makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. There are processes of regeneration that only become possible once we have moved beyond the old ways in which power has operated. What new forms of life and livability are becoming possible specifically because the old systems are decomposing all around us?
