The Moon is finishing up in her home sign of Cancer. We are nourished/nurtured by home/family/mom and apple pie (the lack of which will also be more strongly felt). She sextiles Venus at 5:17AM EDT, trines a retrograde Neptune at 1:43PM EDT and goes void at 6:11PM EDT off her intense monthly opposition to Pluto (emotional transformation) and is void for the rest of the night.
So the early part of the day is best for dealings with others/harmony/balance/creative projects. In the evening the Moon will continue to perform during the void (she's in her own sign after all), but that opposition to powerful Pluto can create power struggles, bring stress with authority, make situations feel like life and death - the timing of the void also coincides with today's BIG aspect -
the Sun, at 14 degrees Leo, squares Uranus at 14 degrees Taurus.
Building on Mercury's square to Uranus earlier in the week - the unexpected words, news, conversation - the Sun, strong in his home sign, moves into his own square with future-focused/break-up, breakdown, break-through Uranus.
Repressed needs for attention/appreciation can bubble up now - can you say DRAMA. Our purpose/direction can shift. Our pride might be dealt a blow. We could experience unexpected outbursts from other people. Uranus is requiring us to 'be ourselves', but we (and they) might take things too far.
On the other hand, the parts of our ego that are past their expiration date and need to be shaken not stirred - can BREAK LOOSE. Trying to be something/someone we aren't will make this transit more tense/frustrating. These are fixed signs and want to hold their ground, but the ground is moving. Mercury is combust, so changes, especially those we don't want to make, but have to make, could leave us feeling especially anxious and tense.
Happening while the Moon is opposing Pluto is excellent energy to look deeply at what we are resisting.
This week's Uranian squares are particularly powerful portals to CLEAR THE DECK before -
Sunday's New Moon in Leo (on 8/8!)- when the Moon will square Uranus!
A new chapter kicks off with an unexpected or sudden JOLT through our creative work/children/romance (Aries rising), through home and family (Taurus rising), new information/communication/ideas (Gemini rising), new income/sudden expenses (Cancer rising), personal/identity changes (Leo rising), a sudden loss/ending or new path that is still concealed (Virgo rising), friendships/public image, goals (Libra rising), career or partner's career (Scorpio rising), travel/education/publishing/legal issue (Sagittarius rising), partner's income or taxes/insurance/debts/inheritance/intimacy/sex/reproduction (Capricorn rising), relationships (Aquarius rising) or daily obligations/health situations/work (Pisces rising).
