A Miscalculation

March 9, 2023



At 9:27 a.m.: The moon is opposite Jupiter

In the morning, the Libra moon opposes Jupiter in Aries, inspiring excess! Expecting success in our undertakings can help us to achieve big things, but arrogance can also situate us for a fall! We may let our guard down or show our full hand when it’s neither prudent nor wise.  Additionally, we risk agreeing to something we don’t want to be a part of in a desire to people-please. We might give out loans or lend possessions, assuming that others will reciprocate in kind. Make sure that the terms are fair, and that you are not leaving yourself open to being taken advantage of.

At 10:20 a.m.: The moon is opposite Chiron

Shortly following this, the moon opposes Chiron in Aries, and the other shoe drops! Suddenly, we realize the error of our ways. Not only do we beat ourselves up over a miscalculation, but we’re reminded that we’ve done this exact same thing before: got ourselves into a mess of our own making through expectations of others’ behavior.  The bad news is that we must now sit with the discomfort of the mistake. The good news is that self-reflection will inspire us to change our conduct going forward. If we had not experienced this dilemma and felt the cringe, this problematic pattern may have continued unchecked!
