Verdure and Venus

My first pet was a chinchilla. At five years old. At the time I didn’t realize this was a horrible pet for a five year old, nor did my parents. I just thought they were cute. They are high maintenance, and require a lot of care.

One time my chinchilla got stuck under the dishwasher and my dad had to pull the whole thing out to get it. Something about this new moon makes me think about dust baths. Chinchilla’s have very dense fur, and don’t dry very well, they “bathe” by rolling around in a special dust. It’s innovative for the creature. They are adapting to what works for them and their needs.

This Moon is illuminating. It’s bold in a lot of ways. Taurus is steadfast. It knows how to carry a torch.

Jupiter and Uranus bring immense innovation, maybe a little optimism depending on how its aspecting your own chart.

Sun and Moon conjunct in Taurus at 18° on Tuesday, May 7th at around 8:00pm AKST

Sitting just 4° away from Uranus, 8° from Venus and 7° from Jupiter. Creating an ultimate Taurus Stellium.

Sun and Moon make a sextile to Saturn in Pisces at 17°

I don’t know about y’all but I feel as if i’ve slipped into a worm hole lately. Travelled back into time and picked up pieces that felt lost. While also maintaining pieces of my current time line. I’ve felt protective of my time. Time falls into Saturn’s realm.

I’ve felt disengaged in a lot of ways. Wanting to keep my treasures for myself. Wanting to create world’s that exist purely for my enjoyment. We need to exist for ourselves, even if we are also stronger together.

Mercury and Chiron are Conjunct at 21° Aries

This is an interesting aspect. Aries is often about the self. Mercury is a messenger, Chiron is a bridge of Saturn and the outer planets.

Mercury is also a kind of bridge. When we make connections between our deepest wounds and what we need- sometimes selfishly- for ourselves. What does that mean? How can we verbalize it? How can we name it?

I’ve been feeling quiet. Not because I have nothing to say, not because I’m worried I’ll say the wrong thing. Mostly due to being selfish. Wanting me for me. 

Happy New Moon. May you have a Chinchilla Moon Dust Bath that dreams are made of.
