The Moon is in Leo now - we are nourished by our creative projects, children, romance, fun, risk, putting ourselves out there. She goes void off a square with the Taurus Sun at 3:12PM EDT - this month's First Quarter Square. She will be void until 4:59PM when she moves into practical/caring/organized Virgo. From Virgo, she will oppose Jupiter at 6:06PM EDT.
The First Quarter Square, which we talked about in the weekly HERE is Leo/Taurus. This is part of last week's New Moon story, their first square (tension/frustration/test) since they met in Taurus last week. This is a challenge between what has been stable/reliable and what is calling to our heart now/what we enjoy now. Security vs fun/risk. Our Taurus New Moon story grows stale/stagnant without a showy creative push now, without stepping onto the center stage of our own life. Holding onto what we have (Taurus) won't be enough.
After the Moon gets into Virgo we will be nourished by practicality, service, getting the job done right. Her opposition to Jupiter tonight is optimistic, but can take things over-the-top. We might need to set boundaries/limits. The Moon in Virgo is answering to an out-of-bounds Mercury, strong, but unpredictable in Gemini - keep this in mind.
Mercury (at 20 degrees Gemini) opposes a retrograde Juno (in Sag) and squares Pallas (in Pisces). With Juno's square to Pallas perfecting yesterday - tension/frustration within our relationship/contracts over differing strategies - this is expanding that energy. Arguments/tense conversations/news. With Mercury in Gemini going to station retrograde and square wise/strategic Pallas two more times this summer - this is a process. Some of our choices will drift away. This is all mutable energy anyway, situations/people need to be able to change/change their mind - nothing is fixed/certain here.
This is also the day we get our best aspect of the week as Venus, and remember the Taurus Sun is answering to her, now has met the North Node (the future), sextiled Chiron (an opportunity for some healing of a very old wound around our ability to be ourselves/take care of ourselves) and here she trines - brakes off, and arguably the best aspect in astrology, although we sometimes miss it since things flow easily -
a powerful Saturn in Aquarius, as he prepares to station.
So, maybe here is an official confirmation. Maybe we commit to a solution in a financial, relationship, work, or group situation. Maybe here is a visible result/payoff. Venus/Saturn can also narrow our choices (helpful with all the mutable squares) ... in order to bring focus or for better long-term results.
This speaks of success coming from hard work, time, the group, the internet, through authority or stepping into our own.
Very much a mixed bag sort of day.
Venus and Mercury, today's big players, are out-of-bounds - out of the control of the Sun/not playing by the rules. Things that normally might not work, can work now and vice versa. People/situations can be less predictable.
