The Moon is finishing up in Leo this morning (EST) - we are nourished/nurtured through romance, recreation, children, generosity, following our heart. She goes void at 11:23AM off an opposition to Jupiter. She will be void until 9:12PM EST when she moves into Virgo.
The Sun is at 5 degrees Sagittarius now and conjuncts Vesta (both answering to Jupiter who is opposing the Moon). The Sun meets Vesta starting a NEW STORY. Our focus shifts. Broadens. The stuff that is keeping us up at night maybe feels more opportunistic/less tragic. We can see the blue skies if we look for them.
At the same time, the Sun and Vesta move into an opposition with Ceres who is retrograde at 5 degrees Gemini. Here a story is ending/energy is culminating.
Ceres in Gemini is re-working/re-thinking nurturing, mothering, change of life situations, situations where we feel out of control through conversations, information, dealing with the details. The Sun/Vesta opposition brings a culmination/ending to a mothering or season of life situation. This is a Sag/Gemini opposition - our hopes/ideals/optimism vs intellect/information/facts. So maybe Vesta in Sag is showing us our devotion to some ideal (idea about what mothering should look like or this new phase of life should look like) is in contrast to what is actually needed. Or maybe Ceres in Gemini's style of teacher mothering needs a shot of something more adventurous.
(this is making me think of the many Thanksgiving celebrations in the U.S. this weekend which has activated the Saturn/Uranus square through the Leo Moon - some people struggling to hold onto traditions, because stability/traditions are what we are made of - personally I dangled from the rafters to hang some holiday lights I hadn't hung in years - and some people only too willing to find reasons/excuses to let traditions go because more than tradition they are needing change/needing freedom - and all of us are really both these people ... neither is right or wrong ... just the way we are making our way through this year's challenging energies as we decide what stays and what goes/what we are made of now/what we want to bring with us - also notice today is the exact Saturn/Chiron sextile this year's other BIG repeat aspect, not a coincidence folks)
The way through today's struggles is Saturn (at 8 degrees Aquarius) sextile to Chiron in Aries. This has been in play off and on all year.
This is a BIG repeating aspect this year as we heal by taking responsibility and working through group challenges. Grown-up actions/words. Big girl/boy pants on. Being responsible. Stepping into our own authority. Connecting with elders. Being patient. Not taking things so personally. Anytime Chiron is triggered we can feel vulnerable. In Aries, fears of not being able to take care of ourselves are activated, but the smooth and opportunistic connection with a strong Saturn in Aqua tells us the way to handle our triggers is not to turn away, but to take care of our responsibilities and those that connect us to other people/our groups/causes/and the goals that bring us together. Very old, very deep wounds are being healed.
Keep in mind today's long Void Moon ability to provide twists and turns and then nothing comes of these things anyway. Stay flexible. Probably NOT a good day to make important purchases - things might not work out as planned with them. Plus that Moon/Jupiter opposition will encourage overspending/excess.
Better to use the Moon/Jupiter for optimism/adventure. Time with the kiddos or your creative projects.
