With the Sun in Scorpio we see the hidden side of different situations. We see the underbelly. This can be an eye opener for many as we assume that mankind is well meaning. However, our instincts are another side of us that are not thoroughly examined. Since our motives are not only conscious but unconscious it makes anticipating the next move very difficult. You need to be a good chess player, you have to look deeply into the game. You have to see maybe twenty moves ahead with all the possible counter moves. Since this is almost impossible for most people, we have to trust our own moves. It is possible to find this center where we have peace of mind. We can be guided by our conscience which is probably connected with higher influences.
The Moon is Pisces makes us feel compassionate. We want to understand others. We want to put our feet into the other’s shoes. It is this attempt that causes us to suffer. When we know others, we will also know ourselves. This causes us to be obligated to the longer course of action. We realize the need to integrate time and space. Time and space solve all problems.
Mars is retrograde in the sign of Cancer. This will result in reviewing some of our family relationships and what exactly these feelings of good or ill will are predicated upon. Since the sign of Cancer is the natural ruler of the home and Mars is in fall in this sign, we find that if we haven’t spent some time thinking about these relationships they can be a source of unhappiness and distress. Determine whether or not your actions and reactions are appropriate and moderate.
