Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Scorpio

Today's energy asks us to see the true features - the reality - of situations.  Today is the last day that Mars will be in the sign of Libra.  While Mars has been in Libra, we've been concerned with finding and bringing balance to how we use our energy.  As Mars moves into Scorpio, we are going to change the way we use our personal power.  Remember that this month things are changing form to suit the energetic changes to our bodies that took place last month with the shifting points.  The outcome of the reformation is for the better - like the rainbow after the storm.  There's another theme at work here and it is the idea of bounty.  The photograph above was taken last night by S. Ahmad in Malaysia (posted on the spaceweather gallery).  What you cannot see in this picture (because the box automatically crops it) is the triple conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and the brightest star in the Virgo constellation - Spica.  You can see the full photograph here.  Spica has a special association with the Goddess (and the form of Mother Mary) and with abundance and fertility.  This conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and Spica is embracing us and whispering to us to let things be while they change their forms.  Everything must change form now.  You might get off track of "let it be" if you over-indulge in ANYTHING today (food, drink, vanity, negativity, fear, self-importance, self-pity...).  There is a fast remedy for this however: the goddess Sophia.  She is ready and waiting for us to stop in mid-track and surrender the need to act - to let it be.  After all, there needs to be time for the rainbow to form.
