Astrology for Sunday, 23 February 2020:

2/23/2020

Today the Moon ingresses into Pisces and makes a sextile to Uranus before conjoining the Sun for the New Moon. In Pisces, the Moon turns our attention toward compassion and empathy, following the tides of our personal feelings as they carry us out into collective experiences and the emotional lives of others. However, this New Moon—closely configured to both Uranus and Mars—also carries the charge of action and revolution, for using the dark of the Moon to plant the seeds for radical, material change. How might we use this New Moon to attend to the feelings that flow between us, the ways they shape us, the injuries, the healing, as well as where we might go from here? As Sara Ahmed writes, “A good scar is one that sticks out, a lumpy sign on the skin. It’s not that the wound is exposed or that the skin is bleeding. But the scar is a sign of the injury: a good scar allows healing, it even covers over, but the covering over always exposes the injury, reminding us of how it shapes the body … Justice is not simply a feeling. And feelings are not always just. But justice involves feelings, which move us across the surfaces of the world, creating ripples in the intimate contours of our lives. Where we go, with these feelings, remains an open question.” This New Moon may draw us into processes of healing, but such healing must never conceal the injuries and injustices that shape our embodied lives. Such healing must always retain the trace of the story, exposing the harm as it heals. Venus in Aries then makes a square to Jupiter in Capricorn. We may experience conflict between the fiery impulses of our desires and the slow and steady growth that we are being called to cultivate in our lives. This square is also a condition of bonification—Jupiter overcoming Venus, Venus hurling rays back to Jupiter. While the square demands adjustment, the challenge may actually be in understanding how our immediate urges and slow growth can support one another. Finally, the Moon conjoins Mercury moving retrograde in Pisces. As we embark on journeys of healing, they may require us to revisit and retell the stories of our old wounds, the injuries that have formed us, in order to understand how such narratives fit within larger systems of oppression and cultures of harm.
