Queen the Moon Oracle | Stacey DeMarco

The Moon is barreling through the sign of Pisces stirring the emotional need to dream, visualize, explore the realms of imagination and use clairvoyant faculties that can express through art, music or acting. With a strong link to the subconscious, you may be easily influenced by the subtle nuances of the environment that provoke memories of past experiences. For some, these psychic impressions may feel uncomfortable without you consciously knowing why, but it also makes you more appreciative of beauty.

However, the ability to tap into stored wisdom can trigger neurotic or psychotic reactions inappropriate to the present if the subconscious recollections are associated with pain and not properly understood. Persons with strong Pisces (sun, moon or rising sign) and significant Leo placements are key players in the events that unfold during this cycle.

Those of great compassion may be especially sympathetic toward the less fortunate when motivated by personal experiences of similar circumstance. Some are associated with hospitals or institutions or work behind the scenes to help others. Perhaps you’re a professional therapist, counselor or astrologer working to establish a practice, or more personally, someone in your inner circle may need counseling.

You need to experience others on a profound and intensely emotional level which is reflected in the people and situations that you become involved with. As you grow to understand your own emotional needs, you’ll begin to recognize psychological influences in others, and the subtle motivations behind their actions. People like to talk to you because you’re a good psychologist who can analyze deep-seated problems. These insights may come through a formal study of psychology or by simply associating with persons who’re disturbed on some level. Intense encounters can place you in a delicate position requiring tact and sensitivity, particularly if you’re counseling professionally.

These emotional exchanges provide an opportunity for you to better understand power struggles and manipulation that can manifest as ambivalence, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, jealousy, guilt, unexplained anger, helplessness and unconscious feelings that undermine conscious actions. In response, you must carefully consider your decisions, especially if you feel responsibility toward others.

Aside from emotional concerns, material issues also hold great significance, and you may feel overly possessive about property with the desire to have greater control. Events are tied to lessons surrounding integrating the values of others without destroying your own individuality. Situations can arouse financial concerns caused by either debts or the limited shared resources of others, although this doesn’t affect your own capacity to earn and your earnings may be very good.

The shift in conditions is likely to demand adjustment, and if you share funds with another person, the amount of money you receive will change either positively or negatively. A partner may not be fully employed or may be fully employed but not sharing and instead spending available funds on worthy or unworthy causes, agreed upon or not. If you’re reliant on the funds of others, you may be forced by circumstance to limit spending because you’ve exhausted all other options. There can also be delays in receiving money you expect such as wills, inheritances or bank loans. While you may have a sense of inequality and dependency, your choices may be driven by valid circumstances you’ve consciously chosen.

Depending on the situation, you may fight over how to handle money or pay the bills. In some cases, you may be thinking of borrowing a large sum of money for a major purchase, but it’s more likely that you feel pressure to pay off all your debts and initiate self-imposed limitations until you’ve accomplished this.

In fact, you’ll be making life directional choices that affect both the immediate and distant future. While many of the decisions are career-related, you may decide to stop work entirely and retire. Other major life transitions could be under consideration—marriage, leaving home, moving to another country, overseas travel or making a total lifestyle change.

Where career is the focus, you’ll apply great effort to move ahead in your profession, social status or reputation. The desire is to take center stage, develop leadership potential and strengthen creativity. With Jupiter in the career sector, an easy flow of opportunity could arrive, but you’ll achieve greater advancement if you’ve worked hard for this success in the past.

Regardless of position, advancement can materialize without much effort. You may decide to use your personal power to leverage your success through negotiations for a higher salary or promotion. Creative ideas that offer improvement and communication with superiors can help you move forward. As a result, you may be asked to take more responsibility or play a greater role in the decision-making process in your work environment.

Your work environment can change dramatically due to reorganization or relocation which causes upheaval in the daily routine attributed to the time consuming effort for preparation, implementation and resolution, and working conditions are complicated until the period of transition ends. In the interim, this is a good time to review your efficiency— if you can’t make improvements, work can become more tedious, detail-oriented and involve more paperwork. Consequently, you may feel restless and bored with repetitive tasks, interruptions that prevent you from functioning at your best or dealing with someone who regularly disrupts you from trying to do your job. These extenuating circumstances make the environment seem oppressive and create a challenge to planning out your day.

On the other hand, you alone may decide to change bosses, departments, job descriptions or assignments. If you’re self-employed, you may need to hire someone to help you to become free to work on other projects. You need to organize your time productively; it’s easy to become a workaholic and you may be working longer or harder than necessary. Try to use this time constructively to integrate new ideas or systems for improvement.

If you’re self-employed or in need of clientele, they may come to you on their own accord without you actively seeking them. You may expand or relocate your business or branch out into new areas of growth because you find it easier to network or make professional connections.

In some cases, opportunities relate to a new field of interest which allows you to easily transition into a new career. You may be presented with opportunities in your work to use new techniques or begin a revolutionary new enterprise. Perhaps you decide to undertake new studies or training that may help to advance your career, and you may choose self-study if there’s confusion around taking a formal course. If you lack motivation, goals or funding, you may end up just thinking about going back to school. This is also a good time to explore subjects like religion, philosophy or holistic concepts.

Alternatively, you may be doing a great deal of creative intellectual work in order to share your experiences with others. You might be in a position to motivate others with your inspiration, or become a strong proponent for a cause you believe in. Perhaps you’ve devoted your life to service in the political or spiritual sphere. Your role may be that of critic or commentator on social ills motivated by the wish to address the inequalities of the world. But expressing yourself eloquently can be a challenge due to language barriers, verbal skills, impediments, or a different mindset. There’s a tendency to criticize for a host of reasons: religion, education, type of humor, lack of compassion, inability to listen, lack of integrity, lack of perception, candor and so on and so forth. Should you take a self-righteous stance or become intolerant of the beliefs of others, your contribution would not be beneficial.

Not only is there possibility for radical change in your professional life underway, you can also find yourself in conflict with authorities. You could take missteps that compromise your business ethics or be involved in power struggles with coworkers or someone who has power over you. You may feel guarded and a need to protect yourself from underhanded manipulative tactics, backroom maneuvers and undercurrents of contention that make it difficult to confront what’s never openly communicated.

Perhaps you have very little power over your own schedule or expectations or you’re placed in a position where uncomfortable concessions are asked of you. If so, you may feel the need to maintain a relationship with superiors that may not be in your best interests in the long run. People that have authority over you–bosses, employers, parents or government officials–seem particularly repressive compelling you to lash out and break free. If differences of opinion, conflicts with your employers, or disputes over new procedures make it difficult for you to continue in your present position, you may decide to quit.

Professional freedom is important to you and you’re willing to defy authority figures if they’re unpredictable or seem to frustrate your efforts at success. You need to function as independently as possible for your creativity to flourish and may consider becoming self-employed. There’s a slight possibility that you’ll be fired unexpectedly if your performance doesn’t meet standard or your present employer undergoes some type of reorganization. However, a plethora of available opportunities means that you do have a choice.

In fact, choosing to remain in a job you hate could eventually take its toll on your well-being. You may feel you have little control over your psychological and physical health. This may be due to overwhelming compulsions or addictions to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes or junk food. Long-standing and poor health habits create problems that now demand attention and this is the time to break bad habits and take control of your health. The greater the stress in the environment and/or the more you’re manipulated or controlled by those in your environment, the greater the possibility for health issues to arise with no-win situations being especially emotionally upsetting and illness inducing. High tension in your nervous system can cause you to suffer a nervous breakdown or you may have dramatic changes to your health and suffer difficulties through infections, deep-seated diseases and the colon.

However, if you believe you were wronged in the past, you’ll tend to take the offensive regarding similar issues, events or relationships through aggressive action to correct past situations or eliminate the possibility of recurrence altogether. Under certain circumstances this might include legal difficulties. Generally, you’ll review the ways in which anger is used to respond to situations and examine how you can adjust your behavior to achieve more productive results than in the past. You may discover that anger is no longer the best resort, and for some, anger and sexual needs are diverted into artistic efforts.

A stellium energizes the group, ideals, dreams and career rewards and your “happily ever after” is linked to this area of life. Friendship becomes a supportive mechanism and you may feel loved by people you’ve met through career. This is a good time for group activities, social functions or activities with friends due to warm camaraderie. The influence is excellent for building friendships and networks within your community, and these exchanges can be mutually beneficial and provide opportunities for both personal growth or professional advancement. However, you’ll need to keep good company and remain aware of how associates are impacting your life. Accepting social graces and parameters is important.

Starting an intimate relationship is not necessarily emphasized, but you may be playing the field. Negatively, this is motivated by the tendency to be self-centered or if you have a “Peter Pan” attitude about relationships. Alternatively, you can attract those who hold an adolescent view of love or need a “mommy” more than a mate. Cloudy distinctions concerning the nature of a relationship and whether you’re friends or lovers can lead to game-playing and one-up-manship behaviors. If you’re attracted to a particular individual, he/she may not be ready to make any kind of commitment at this time. If already involved in a relationship, you may wish to make new acquaintances or socialize with groups of people linked to new interests. In most situations, an increase in freedom will not be disruptive.

However, if the relationship is strained, loyalty can become an issue if you feel tightly restricted by the union. If this is the case, desire for freedom can lead to strong attraction to other people that creates conflict related to monogamy. One of you might be overly assertive in expressing and expecting love and may demand reassurance of being “the favorite” or “the chosen one” over others. For some, commitment connects to geographical fidelity dependent on being in the same place, but travel could alter the arrangement otherwise. If tempted to have an affair, sex can eventually evolve as part of the situation.

Sexuality is emphasized with the Part of Sexual Attraction sitting on the partnership axis, but power struggles related to other aspects of the relationship can affect sexual interaction and magnify conflict. It may be critical judgment of self and others that inhibits sexual performance or restrictions as a result of career interests, your partner’s absence, illness or inability to function. Sex may not be enjoyable if rushed, inconvenient or occurring under stressful circumstances such as an extra-marital affair. On the other hand, you may feel inhibited if you view sex as more of a responsibility or obligation, rather than a pleasure. In some cases, you face moral dilemmas involving sexual attractions that open you to criticism from others.

Whatever the relationship, you’ll become acutely aware of the darker aspects of yourself and of others. Love-hate relationships in particular will tend to highlight the sides of others you didn’t realize existed until an intense situation elicited certain traits to surface. This can manifest as demeaning attitudes toward women cloaked in humor or actions provoked by experiences of rejection or infidelity that deeply affected self-confidence.

Despite the challenges, a helpful influence brings benefactors into the picture who play a strong role and you may receive gifts, favors or assistance. You’ll gain success, respect and a reputation for honesty if you maintain honor and integrity at all costs. Additionally, a grand air trine supports critical thinking skills that allow you to be objective under stress in order to deal with what you must. Situations do present a paradox, however, centering on what is good for whom and at what cost to others. You’d be wise to remain cognizant of the fact that your gain may be another’s loss. Consequently, you must also consider that what appears on the surface to be beneficial, may not remain so on deeper examination, and if so, plans could fail.

The key word for this cycle is teaching which suggests possessing knowledge or the power to acquire it. For some, your ideas are scattered amongst those who do not appreciate them. However, once you realize your gift, you’ll concentrate on bestowing it upon those who will hold it to advantage.
