The Moon entered Sagittarius early this morning, turning the focus to the realm of adventure and ideas. \u00a0Under the Sagittarian influence we are more optimistic, our vision is broader and we are more social in nature. \u00a0Aside from a square to Mars which occurred at about 7:30 this morning EDT and which influence is now behind us, the Moon makes no other aspects until it forms a trine to Venus tomorrow morning.<\/div>\n

A Philosophy Lesson for a slow astrology news day<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We often don’t like challenging aspects, but they provide the force that keep us moving forward. \u00a0The harmonious dynamics and pleasant and can provide some excitement, but it is the force of one planet conflicting with another planet, or a planet in our chart, that facilitate the process of change. \u00a0This is often called “dialectics<\/span>,” a philosophical framework which is the perfect subject under a Sagittarian Moon since Sagittarius is so fond of philosophy and the realm of beliefs. \u00a0Dialectics basically presumes that everything in the universe is made of opposing forces which require the adaptation of both forces to create something new, and that change occurs in 3-dimensional spiral form rather than a 2-dimension circle.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From the astrologer’s point of view, we have, say, the Moon in Taurus in the birthchart. \u00a0When Venus in Capricorn transits that Moon it is a harmonious transit and the two encourage each other, they work well together. \u00a0But if Mars in Leo transits that Moon, they are in a square formation and the fire of the Leo Mars challenges the equanimity of the Taurus Moon. \u00a0The Moon (the thesis<\/span>\u00a0under the dialectic principle)\u00a0must adapt to the pressures of Mars (the antithesis)<\/span> in order to avoid destruction, and this results in a synthesis <\/span>between the two planets and an evolutionary change in the individual as a result of this adaptation.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is assumed, in the dialectic process, that the useful portion of the thesis<\/span>\u00a0will be preserved when it encounters the antithesis<\/span>, and that therefore the resulting synthesis<\/span>\u00a0will be greater than the original thesis;<\/span>\u00a0hence the concept of psychological growth and personal evolution as a spiral rather than a circle with no end. \u00a0We experience this in our daily lives, when in a period of challenge we find ourselves facing issues within us that we thought were long gone. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I find this idea useful when conceptualizing the effect of planetary transits and I hope you will too!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
