Be The Wolf

In my last post I used the chart of General George Washington to demarcate the effect of the Moon moving forward into Pisces and that somehow diffusing his natal energy to fight. While that may be hypothetically accurate the Moon by itself may not be the determining planet of the horoscope. The first President of the United States would still have had Mars in Scorpio and Mercury exalted albeit retrograde in Aquarius. He was born on Friday with the Moon in Capricorn. By the following Tuesday the Moon advanced to Pisces and perhaps suggests the General might not have had the need to make things happen in his life. Instead a preoccupation with the ethereal and intangible realms would drive behavior. By Thursday the Moon would have moved into Aries... would he have been a fighter still? Perhaps. But maybe not with the fortitude and perseverance to keep up the fight... And either he'd have been replaced or the revolution might have turned out differently... and Obama would be King (just kidding).

When I surf for individuals born with this anemic Sun-Moon blend of Water under Fire there are some very interesting examples that emerge. Tom Wolfe is one and a fascinating and interesting character. In terms of the astrology his anemia is barely present in terms of publicity and productivity. Certainly because the Moon at the Aries Point is fortified by a conjunction with Uranus ruler of the 2nd house energizing the self image profile. The fuel too is more potent with an additive of idealism where the Sun conjuncts Venus and is reinforced by the conjunction of Mercury with Mars in the third and part of a peregrine island. We could go on and on...

Nonetheless, if we need to shore up the lack of energy generated by watery fires that reflect heat poorly it may be helpful to discover alternative sources of energy. To do this submerge into the unconscious and reemerge with new vigor while also surrounding yourself with sensitive, supportive, and encouraging partners. The self worth profile will be paramount and whether it is exaggerated and broadcast to all in terms of a fighting self pleasing intellect or suppressed and constrained by the vicissitudes of life a healthy adjustment will be required in either case to precede fulfillment. A Wolfe by any other name would still be the wolf so learn to appreciate what it is others appreciate about you... especially when the water in your chart boils over and then in the next instant freezes... go on simmer once in a while and let the flavors mingle.
