The Moon in deep Scorpio went void at 2:27AM EDT off a sextile to a retrograde Saturn. She will be void until 8:49AM EDT when she moves into fiery Sagittarius. Her only aspect today a square to the Virgo Sun at 1:57PM EDT.
In Sagittarius she turns our attention to our beliefs, the big-picture, optimism, weddings/celebrations, travel, education, foreign people/ideas/places, the stuff outside our local environment.
Today's First Quarter Square (opening square) is a crisis point in our monthly lunar cycle and asks us to look beyond/work with last week's fiery Leo New Moon fresh beginning.
This is Sag/Virgo. We look up from the details we are mired in (the critiques, the edits, the corrections) and bring our attention to the BIG PICTURE. This is a square so tense and uncomfortable - we probably won't really want to do this/look at this/go there (and with Sag ruler Jupiter in a tangle with Venus, this could pull our money, values, relationships as well as that home, family situation into the mix). But we skip this step at our own peril - or better said, at the cost of being unprepared for the next step. So now we go further. We learn more. Maybe we apply faith, optimism, enthusiasm. Stay flexible. Think wide angle lens.
At 11:17AM EDT Mercury trines Uranus. Uranus in Taurus has been busy updating (via chaos and sudden change) our resources, our values, our habits. Now, here is a smooth connecting aspect with mental Mercury in practical Virgo. A new idea we can use. Innovation that solves problems. Time to talk about something else. Unexpected news/information. With Uranus retrograde something here could have its roots in the past even as it impacts the future.
This is also the day Venus reaches 17 degrees Cancer and moves into her opposition to a retrograde Jupiter in Cappy. Now, even though this is an opposition these are still our two most benevolent planets. They want to help us feel good.
This could bring us an exaggerated feeling of what we want (and keep in mind she will oppose Pluto at the end of the week to kick this obsession up a notch then finally Saturn next week with the reality check). This could, because oppositions can bring peaks/culminations in the way Full Moons can - bring us to a RESULT. Here is what we have attracted. And, remember, this is a process because she has the whole Cappy pile-up to deal with over the next few days. Also, remember the Cappy planets are all RETROGRADE, so we are asked to re-view what comes up here AND remember, that the Moon (in Sag) is answering to Jupiter and squaring the practical Virgo Sun, so pulling in a need (that we skip at the cost of being unprepared for our next step) to keep at least one foot on the ground with anything that is too exuberant/too tempting.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch or count on your lucky rabbit's foot to pull you through (the foot was only intended to help the rabbit and I suppose that didn't end well for her). Work the square - apply a wide angle lens. Bring in more knowledge/more faith. Work the trine. Open your mind to new ideas. Think practical innovations. We will feel the opposition (the wanting more or result process in action), but let's not allow it to go too far unless we will benefit more from the INSPIRATION of the exaggerated feeling (and this could certainly be true because we certainly need HOPE now) than we might be hurt from any let-down later.
If your memory is less swiss-chessy than mine these days - something here might connect back to late November 2019 (sometime around last Thanksgiving).
