If you are connected to my Astrology Facebook page then you have already seen several posts regarding the lunar aspects today. The one I want to hammer down and force feed you today is the opposition between the Moon in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn. The reason why is because this opposition is going to occur every single month, every single time there is a Cancer Moon until the year 2024. This same square has been occurring every single month, every single time there is a Cancer Moon, since the year 2008. That's because Pluto is in Capricorn for 16 years, from 2008 until 2024. Every time there is a Cancer Moon, it will oppose Pluto in Capricorn. So, no matter what, this opposition will occur every single month until 2024. Do you know how much energy it will take to overcome an emotional Cancer Moon - Pluto in Capricorn opposition? If you have read my writings on Pluto in Capricorn in your Generational Horoscope then think about how emotionally volatile Pluto in Capricorn can be when the Moon in Cancer opposes it every single month. An opposition is like a tug of war, although Astrological oppositions are 'supposed to' serve us as the perfect balance. If you turn out of balance with your emotions, then situations suffer. If you do not put a cap on the potential of your emotions, then this energy could cause you to self-destruct due to your emotions. So if you know this ahead of time and remember it every single time the Cancer Moon rolls around, then you can save your 'emotional crazy' for something else like winning the lottery or running down the isle on 'The Price is Right' or opening the door and seeing 'Oprah's Prize Patrol' or celebrating that break-through in your career that you have been working so hard to receive.

Today we will experience the Moon in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn at exactly 9:14 PM EDT which is indicated on today's daily chart wheel. As the Moon opposes Pluto, this creates Love-hate feelings. It is intense, it is dramatic and just plain over-the-top. Even if everyone around you is emotionally whacked and calling attention to themselves, do not comment or play into their energy for a second. Hang back and keep a sobering clear mind. The Moon opposing Pluto can make people incredibly sensitive to rejection and they end up getting their feelings injured and misinterpret something that really is not there. Eeeeek . . this next line is going to hurt but here it goes. The Moon opposing Pluto causes us to act and react toward others in a way that is a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. OUCHY! MOM make her stop!!! So this transit (Moon opposing Pluto) is more about you, not them. It's about you being comfortable in your own Life and in your own skin. Keep your comments to yourself and then look at yourself before you emotionally lash out. Over-emotion is a form of control because it is our way of getting others to respond and dance to our needs. Think about it folks. When you go off the deep end with your emotions, aren't you trying to get others to dance to your tune, agree with you or cause them to do what you want? You can say it isn't True, but it sure as heck is. So, what do you need? You can go about getting your needs met without losing your emotions and looking like the crazy, unreasonable and illogical one.

Cancer energy is naturally defensive as it postures itself on its back legs and starts snapping those pinchers at anyone who walks by. Cancer energy takes things incredibly personal. Folks, wherever Cancer shows up in your personal natal chart is how and where you are like Cancer. We all have Cancer in our charts, so you cannot escape this Cancer energy unless of course you have a Cancer Interception in your chart, which means the Cancer energy fell between two different houses and does not rule a house cusp. Then and only then will you likely escape this defensive and overly emotional energy. Remember folks, the Moon naturally rules the sign of 'Cancer the crab' and it is the crab that crawls in dance-like movements across the sand. Cancer energy always moves more sideways rather than straight on. This is why many Cancer's will use the side door to enter the home as opposed to the front door. This is why Cancer will dance around a subject before they get to the point. This is also why Cancer energy and get you to do an 'emotional dance' in that form of emotional control.

Cancer also rules the mother, the home, family, land and domestic affairs. Now take the opposition of Pluto in Capricorn and pit it against this Cancer Moon. This is how family issues get over-inflated and just downright volatile under this emotional lunar influence. So again folks, every single month until 2024 when the Cancer Moon rolls into town, we will experience an opposition with Pluto in Capricorn. It isn't going away anytime soon so you may as well figure out how you are going to deal with it every single month over the course of 2 to 2-1/2 days when the Cancer Moon is present. The sign of Cancer hides in their shell, while the sign of Capricorn is all about the public image. Cancer is all about inside the home and Pluto is all about outside of the home. There is a huge tug-of-war here where family secrets may be made public or shouted outloud in a fit of passion.

Now for Taurus as an entire sign -- Check your tone and posture so that you are fully aware of what your facial expressions and body language are saying. This is a day where you really don't have to say much because your mannerisms will say it all. The emotions run higher today so make certain that you don't say something that is an emotional knee-jerk reaction that you might have to apologize for at a later time. The art of communication also involves listening. You don't have to agree, you don't even have to agree to disagree . . but you do have to listen. There will likely be talk of travel plans under this Cancer Moon. It may even have something to do with travel to see a sibling or a former neighbor. Sounds strange I know but the influence is there so I need to mention it. Still, there could be more communication than usual with a sibling or a former neighbor, someone who lived with you or close to you. Hmmmmm, possibly even a first cousin. You may also get a chance to travel with regard to your work, so let's not throw out that possibility either. Sounds like I'm throwing everything out there to see if it sticks but it's really more 3rd house related (see keywords above) and not necessarily a pleasure trip. It's coming and going energy, which represents communication and transportation because that is how we come and go.
