The Moon in Aquarius floats through the day unaspected. She will go void at 12:56AM EDT tonight until 5:34AM tomorrow morning when she moves into Pisces drifting toward her opposition to the Sun and tomorrow's Full Moon.

The Sun (in Virgo) inconjuncts Chiron in Aries today. We might feel this as something like - "how do I do this service or this work or whatever this Virgo thing is and take care of myself/stand up for myself/be myself, too." We have Mars in Aries now, so tempers can be hair trigger.

The high-minded Aquarius Moon lets us detach, step-back far enough to get some needed perspective, not go off all Rambo on anything.

And speaking of Rambo - we also have lovely Venus (in emotional Cancer) squaring, first, Juno - the maiden vs the wife - and then Lilith - the maiden vs the other woman

(Lilith is Black Moon Lilith or BML and note Black Lives Matter, BLM, as an acronym is an anagram for Black Moon Lilith and on the night the words, that have gone on to trigger so many people toward action or anger, were first put together by two women in California in the summer of 2013 - Lilith (BML) was exactly conjunct the U.S. natal Venus in Cancer).

This stressful triangle of feminine energy could represent multiple people or could be something happening within us.

Venus in Cancer wants nurturing/love that is "mothering". Take care of me, keep me safe, pay my bills. Juno, in Libra, for what has felt like a lifetime, is like, "this is our contract dude - we need to bring things back into balance". Lilith, in Aries, might say, "I'm not your freaking mother, get up, do it yourself".

Lilith, as per her usual, triggering not only our need to escape, but also our primal fears of losing our comfort zone, our security, the garden.

What are we going to do with this?

This is a Cardinal Grand Cross that will pull Saturn into the mix and last for a couple days (and has been building for a couple, too). Saturn is retrograde, so although events/situations can appear to come from out of the blue, they are based on stuff that's been in play for quite a while. Shadow stuff will make itself known. We, our personal selves/sovereignty might feel challenged within our relationships or maybe through financial situations. And the reality police are on patrol. There are limits. Rules. Maybe these are to our benefit somehow. So, if something is limited now/prevented - maybe its cost is simply too high right now - maybe things will work out better later than if we had gotten what we wanted or pulled a "burn this whole city down" Rambo thing now.

Again that un-aspected Aqua Moon can help. We can process this through our instinctual nature - without our 'history-based' (historical/hysterical) emotions, without over-thinking.

Yes, she might numb our feelings a bit, but the city/our hearts/our bank balance will thank us in the morning.

And, on the other hand, because we always have at least two, we are building toward a freedom-leaning culminating Pisces Full Moon tomorrow, so if something really has come to the final/final, the stuff that comes out of the shadows now can help us put something dead to bed.

The monsters are out of the closet.

Which doesn't have to a bad thing. It's Virgo season. Time to clean them anyway.


xo all

(note Mars will activate these energies later in the week maybe requiring action/forcing our hand, temper or passion)
