Today's Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Tuesday, March 30th, 2021 - looking under the hood, coming unstuck, taking responsibility for something new, a path to more stable money and relationships

 

 

The Moon is in Scorpio now. We are nourished by power/collective resources/merging/purging/diving deep. Our emotions become more intense, situations can feel more "life and death". She opposes Uranus, inconjuncts the Sun and squares Saturn. Pressure.

The inconjunct to the Sun is this month's Waning Inconjunct, Luna's first aspect with the Sun since last weekend's Full Moon in Libra. 

 

Now we are looking under the hood/the covers. Walking with trembling knees down the shaky basement stairs like those B movies heroines (yes, I know we were screaming at the screen for her to "not go down there!", but where would the movie be without her daring/foolishness).

 

Aries/Scorpio are Mars ruled and co-ruled, and Mars is in Gemini answering to Mercury, so maybe something here now about words and conversations and information and the FINE PRINT. The intention of the Aries/Scorpio inconjunct could be to bend/break (through Scorpio's 8th house intensity of merging/purging) whatever was put in motion through Aries action/passion/initiative. Something surely gets complicated. Inconjuncts are rocks and hard places and require adjustments/flexibility. Maybe we won't get a win-win, but it doesn't have to be a lose-lose either. 

At the same time Venus reaches 11 degrees Aries and sextiles Saturn in Aquarius. 

 

Here is support/solid ground for our relationships, money, resources, values, self-esteem. This is Saturn, so work can be required of us. We are taking responsibility for what we want here. We probably have to COMMIT TO SOMETHING. There are built-in limits/rules that we will have to adhere to. Patience is required because the Saturnian goodies come over time. Good for May/December relationships/situations. We know Venus is going to sextile the North Node tomorrow, so our path ahead is being made more solid. 

If we are depressed, and many, many people are now, Venus followed by the Sun this week, aspecting Saturn in positive ways can help. The help comes through Aries - so TAKING ACTION (depression is all about BEING STUCK), moving our bodies (get some exercise), loving something new, doing something brave, moving in a NEW DIRECTION - remember life can use whatever we do to get us to where we need to go. The North Node is in flexible Gemini, nothing has to be one big/solid thing - there is more than one way through things and the way will change as we go. We don't have to have all the answers to move forward.

 

Saturn slows Venus in Aries down/grows her up. The intense Scorpio Moon is quite challenged today by change/the unexpected, the new and untested, limits/groups/tech/the future. We will probably be feeling the PRESSURE of this. 

The Moon requires an emotional commitment/deeper look at something (yes, it's dark in the basement, but we are going to have to go down there). Venus/Saturn in Aries/Aqua says TIME TO GET SERIOUS about what you want/are starting/the NEW. 

 

What action can you take to get unstuck? The Suez Canal container ship is freed up now - something in us is shaking loose this week, too.

Weekly Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Week of March 29th, 2021 - April 4, 2021 - healing old wounds, opportunities with love and money, our way forward gets shored up, our thinking/the story changes

 

 

MONDAY - Sun conjunct Chiron, Mercury conjunct Neptune

TUESDAY - Venus sextile Saturn

WEDNESDAY - Venus sextile North Node, Sun sextile Saturn

THURSDAY - Sun sextile North Node

FRIDAY - Mercury sextile Pluto

SATURDAY - Mercury into Aries

Look at all those sextiles (opportunities) folks! Let's unpack the week!

 

On MONDAY, the Sun meets Chiron at 8 degrees Aries, while Mercury meets Neptune at 21 degrees Pisces

 

We talked about Monday HERE - note, Monday is the day this is most exact, this has been building for a while and will spend some time unwinding. You probably want to read it.

TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY - Venus, at 11 degrees Aries, sextiles (opportunity) Saturn, at 11 degrees Aquarius then moves on to sextile the North Node at 12 degrees Gemini, then following Venus's lead the Sun sextiles Saturn and then moves on to sextile the North Node.

The Venus/Saturn is OPPORTUNITY - here is where our NEW wants/love/resources become more stable/serious/in tune with the collective/in tune with the future. Yes, there are responsibilities and limits here, too, but with the sextile's smooth flow - this shouldn't be overly cumbersome and look what we are already dealing with! Aries/Aquarius sextiles are fire/air, so enabled through passionate words/language/ideas. Being independent, but acting collectively/maybe within a group. Yesterday's Mercury/Neptune is still in play, so something might be hidden or not quite as ideal as it could seem now, so keep that in mind - and our ideas/thinking/plans are subject to some changes at the end of the week as Mercury joins the Aries party, but there is something REAL here, too - something that will last/we can count on it.

As Venus is moving off her sextile to Saturn the Sun is moving into his sextile, as Venus moves off her North Node sextile, the Sun moves into his own sextile with the North Node. Here is our solar energy/our independent spirit in harmony with the group/our future as our path forward grows more solid.

 

Venus is not so strong in Aries and being this close to the Sun is burning her out, but the Sun is EXALTED in Aries and benefits from Venus. This period of time is a gift to us. Decide. Move forward. Commit. Firm something up. The Gemini North Node is flexible, can offer multiple ways forward - remember the Full Moon energy (in play now) HERE - starting from ourselves/our source and this giving us the ability to make any direction the right direction!

 

This is Venus (relationships, money, our resources, values, self-esteem, women) and the Sun (our ego, our fuel, ourselves, our father/authority) connecting with Saturn, strong in his home sign - so adding structure, longevity, stability, authority (and, yes, limits and responsibilities - we can't do/have everything) and then connecting with the North Node (our path forward). With Mercury in foggy Pisces we don't have to KNOW what we want. With Mercury in foggy intuitive Pisces we can feel what we want (it's what we've always wanted, what we all want) and Venus/Sun can give us the motivation, initiative, courage to make a move in a new direction. If something comes along - say YES.

On FRIDAY - Mercury at 26 degrees Pisces now, moves into her/his sextile with Pluto (in Cappy). 

The stage is set for honest communications, so here's where the conversation deepens/intensifies. Information is power. Our compassionate words are powerful. We can be more persuasive. Money talks. If something is fading to black, here are the final smoky wisps out the door. Pisces/Cappy is the idealistic dreamer and the practical, seasoned pro working together. Building the dream. Making a sacrifice for the goal. 

 

If the Mercury/Neptune has pulled us off course, here is where we might get a gentle reality check.

 

On SATURDAY - Mercury finally gets out of the Pisces soup (a sign of his detriment) and begins a new cycle in fiery Aries.

The conversation/our thinking changes/sharpens. 

 

New plans. New ideas. Mercury in Aries is so fast, she/he can solve problems before we even know we have a problem! This is going to be a fast transit (only through April 19th), but that's all we will need for our thinking/the conversation/ideas to SHIFT.

 

Our language and thinking becomes more focused, clear-headed and passionate. Mercury in Aries puts our instinct into words. Our mind gets faster. Our tongue gets sharper. Words get pushy. It is easier to speak up for ourselves and ask for what we want/need.

 

We can also more easily pick an argument as language becomes more competitive. Mercury in Aries says, "I know what I think and THIS is what I think."

The silence that was so golden in Pisces - gets broken in Aries.

 

The best use of this transit would be saying what we really think - and yes, this can get us into trouble, so we won't be an ass about it - keep in mind Aries' impulses can be either self-aggrandizing and immature or sparking a needed fire, solving a problem (fire brings fresh insights), initiating a new course of study and creating a bold, 'hot-off-the-press' plan. The choice is ours.

 

Think - fresh start with Mercury themes - words, thinking, writing, learning, teaching, ideas, sibling issues, transportation, your local community. Also bringing fresh words and fresh thinking into your Aries house theme already smoking hot with the Sun and Venus. AND probably best of all with Mercury in Aries answering to Mars and Mars in Gemini answering to Mercury - both Mars and Mercury are empowered/stabilized.

 

In another week, big-daddy Saturn himself will trine the North Node and we'll be looking at the New Moon in Aries - the kickoff for a new lunar year with lots of positive energy - it's going to be BIG.

Today's Astrology Forecast | Monday, March 29th, 2021 - something hurts, something heals, words dissolve/connect, a need for courage and transcendence, talking to ghosts

 

 

I will get the weekly up tonight, but didn't want to miss a daily for today since we have multiple important aspects perfecting!

The Moon continues her journey through Libra, the sign of partnership/balance. She trines (brakes off) Mars at 1:12PM EDT (14 degrees) and Jupiter at 2:01PM EDT (21 degrees) - good for conversations with partners, taking balanced action, multi-tasking, expanding, planning. At 8:07PM EDT she goes void off a square to Pluto before diving into Scorpio at 1:33AM EDT. That square to Pluto speaks of a power struggle.

 

The Sun meets Chiron at 8 degrees Aries, while Mercury meets Neptune at 21 degrees Pisces

 

The Sun's meeting with Chiron is a spotlight on a vulnerability/wound/weakness. Maybe something about how we weren't fast enough or brave enough or passionate enough. Maybe old ISSUES WITH ANGER, what we had to do to survive, with our ability to take care of ourselves. Maybe an issue with our physical body comes to light/needs attention now. Maybe we are required to do something we feel not prepared/not up to doing. Maybe we can see how our lack of motivation/action is impacting us.

 

Mercury/Neptune can add to our uncertainty/this feeling of exposure. And maybe it is someone's words/information that is painful, BUT Neptunian energy also has an anesthetic quality/the potential to soften the blow/pain. And this is all tempered by the proximity of benefic Venus. It's not comfortable, but it can be healing/rewarding, our wounds making us somehow more attractive to what we need. With Venus in Aries, what we need might be courage/independence, passion, action.

Chiron's wounds are old/familial. The sins of the father visited on the son. Chiron's pain rises from the archetypal battle between the light and the dark - someone must pay and quite often it is not the guilty, so Chiron's wounds are rooted in a sense of injustice/victimization. "Why me?" laments Chiron. Whether we believe in an orderly Universe, the will of God, karmic reincarnation/inheritances - on some level we might believe an orderly plan is being enacted. Chiron (an outsider in our galaxy with a disorderly orbit) says to us, "THIS will not feel just to you".

 

Mercury/Neptune repeats the theme of a very old story - ancestral/past-life - being told now. Except here the story is whispered/inferred. Mercury/Neptune removes mental resistance, connects us to the past/what is behind us. This can be a good thing or a slippery slope - this is up to us. It is wonderful energy for prayer/meditation/art/music. Talk to your ancestors/your guides/your higher self/God - the phone line is open. Information can be absorbed now.

 

We might say/hear words that are very profound now. We might feel very nostalgic. We might be grieving. Coming at the same time as the Sun/Chiron and with the Moon coming off her fullness in Libra and approaching that square to Pluto, this is excellent energy for intuitively connecting some very old and illusive dots.

 

The key to working with this is to be honest about the pain/our weakness/fear - it won't be hidden anyway. Speaking about it will help/connect us to others. Neptune heals by dissolving situations slowly/easing our pain as it changes the landscape a little bit at a time. This doesn't mean we get to avoid the pain though. What not to do now would be to escape into lalaland via lies or alcohol or misplaced idealism. Mercury will be leaving Pisces in just a couple days and things will be much clearer.

 

Aries WILL provide the courage we need and we have a hell of a week ahead of us with multiple opportunities to stabilize our life and line up with our best possible future. And today's Libra Moon has multiple smooth trines. We've got this thing!

Full Moon in Libra | Sunday, March 28, 2021 - our need for other people, relationship eye-openers, a crossroads, resolving very old battles, wise decisions and a need for long-term planning

 

 

On March 28th, 2021 at 2:48PM EDT, the Libra Moon moves into her exact opposition to the Aries Sun giving us this month's Full Moon - our annual Full Moon in Libra. 

Full Moons are always a time of PEAK energy. There is a culmination, a completion. Something comes TO LIGHT. In general during a Libra Moon we might notice the ways our life/relationships have moved out of balance. Who/what we are attracted to now. Who/what we are withdrawing from or is withdrawing from us.

Back in 2019 we had TWO Full Moons in Libra - one at the Spring Equinox and then another one four weeks later. Two Full Moons in the same sign in the same year is unusual. Coming in the relationship focused sign of Libra with the "we vs me" polarity of the Libra/Aries axis - something here was really wanting our attention. From our older/wiser/"what the flying frig is going on here" vantage point two years later - we can see it was uber important that we got really, really clear on who (and what) we wanted to be with on this next leg of our journey. 

 

Because on the one hand, we were going to be stuck in the house with them ... for weeks/months in 2020 and 2021. And on the other hand, we were moving toward the kind of challenges that would be best met hand-in-freshly-washed-hand with the right person/people. By that second Full Moon we knew who had our back. We knew who we were on the same page with. 

 

We can't say we weren't warned. 

Move ahead to the Full Moon in Libra of 2020 - now Venus (ruler of Libra) was in Gemini, prepping for last year's long and tricky Venus retrograde. The Moon was just past her conjunction to Juno and opposing Eris. Relationships were getting complicated. The partnership/the contract - whatever we had going on in a committed way with another person - was moving away from the warm and fuzzies and toward a collision with some outside strife. This was also the day Mars was squaring Uranus, so I am sure plenty of straws were breaking plenty of camels' backs/tipping points were reached/there might have been sudden BREAKS.

THIS YEAR, as the Libra Moon moves into her fullness opposing the Aries Sun, we have Venus, conjunct that Sun along with hurting/healing Chiron. 

So, the ruler of the Full Moon (Venus, ruler of Libra) is opposing the Moon! And Venus's annual meeting with the Sun is happening DURING her Full Moon and conjunct Chiron (who is also having his annual meeting the Sun during this Full Moon)!

Libra rules our partnerships and our collective seventh house of other people/commitments/alliances - so there is likely a need now to watch for projections. We are responsible and in charge of our own feelings/our own needs. Something that could "come to light" now is how we project expectations on other people based on our own desires and then they fail to live up to our imagined plans for them and we get hurt/disappointed/angry. These are really feelings we are having with ourselves, but the other person gets to be our mirror here. We are the mirror for other people, too.

Libra also rules fairness and justice. The reason Libras can sometimes seem so indecisive is because they can see both sides of an issue - so maybe that is what is illuminated now - another point of view. Too much certainty assures we are shown the very things that will make us question ourselves/and others. Although, Full Moons are about endings, happening in the cardinal sign of Libra (cardinal signs usher in the new seasons) - there is a beginning here, too.

OK, let's dial into this particular Full Moon. 

Let's unpack the chart! 

 

The Moon is at 8 degrees Libra opposing the Sun, Venus (Libra's ruler) and Chiron ALL at 8 degrees Aries. The Moon is inconjunct Uranus at 8 degrees Taurus and semi-sextile Vesta at 8 degrees Virgo, also both EXACT - and what's up with all these eight's? 

 

Eight is a number of power/transformation. 

Hexagram 8 in the iChing is called - "seeking union", which feels perfect for a Libra Full Moon, so let's start with that. 

In the iChing "seeking union" begins with divination/inner questioning - we start at our source. It is important to know where we are coming from because when we know the source/who we are - we can flow out in any direction and meet up with the right choices and connections. We are born with this kind of innate navigation system, but over time our GPS gets hacked/glitches up/needs updating.

Thinking about these 8's in terms of starting with our source (notice the number 8 has no obvious starting point once it is fully formed, but in order to make one we have to start somewhere) is repeated by Libra's ruler Venus (the Moon is answering to her) being in independent Aries (the first sign of self) during this lunation  AND we can see how we've all been tossed back at ourselves (inner work) during the pandemic.

We start with ourselves. Our own natural affinities. This "seeking union"/connection thing is instinctive, but not intended to be just smooth sailing without any stress. On the other hand too much stress can be an indicator we have formed the wrong relationships/unions - probably formed out of fear/struggling - or maybe they were right for us at one time, but then we stayed connected to people and situations that had run their course. Eventually we cannot support a relationship if it means ignoring our own nature/our own source. 

If we cut off our source we will either die on the vine (8 being the number of death, too, via Scorpio and the 8th house) or maybe latch onto something living, like a vampire might do, and cling to that.

Ultimately we are going to have to know not only where we are coming from, but we will have to decide where we are going (Mars on the North Node). With all these 8's and with Venus in Aries (the first sign) - we will start with the idea of knowing who we are/where we stand as being something central to this Full Moon's energetic.

 

The ways we are connected to ourselves/our source, the extent to which we are able to receive love/love ourselves will be illuminated now and all the spaces this is lacking might be more sorely felt. 

The Full Moon trines Saturn and the Mars/North Node conjunction forming a Grand Air Trine. Grand trines are great gifts. The energy forms a powerful closed loop. This is your natal Libra, Aquarius and Gemini houses. We've talked about the Mars/North Node this week - making future focused choices/having conversations/getting information (sometimes uncomfortable, this could have been an argument/accident) and taking action - that sets our course. Now, Saturn in Aquarius pulls in some added structure, authority, responsibility, groups. Here is a smooth flow with our relationships, conversations, plans, ideas, the future. Saturn indicates this is about sticking to a long-term plan. Rome wasn't built in a day and whatever is started now won't be either. The trine to Saturn can indicate positive interactions with authority/older people. Things become more stable. That Mars/North Node choice/decision/move forward will have some built in limits/restrictions, but at the same time they are strengthening our RELATIONSHIP(S)

 

(and this building thing is likely to be happening on some rather rocky ground that has been tilled via a release, loss, forgiveness, compassion, sacrifice, a visible need to be more gentle with ourselves or someone else).

 

The Full Moon is semi-sextile Vesta (that old PROBLEM we need to fix or forget), inconjunct Uranus - in Taurus, so answering to Venus, too - and the Moon (in Scorpio by then) is going to oppose Uranus on Tuesday. The inconjunct is Taurus/Libra - both Venus ruled, both inclined toward making the world more beautiful/more profitable. Libra needs to partner, but also wants that partner at an equal distance doing equal kinds of things. Libra, being an air sign, doesn't want to be closed in. This equal distance thing would make Taurus crazy, being fixed earth. Taurus doesn't do 'partner' in the traditional sense/will do things independent of someone else, but can be inseparably attached to one or more people as in connected at the hip. Moon/Uranus aspects tend to create anxiety because they trigger our ancient/innate terror of life's unpredictability (evicted from the womb as we all were). This one is Venusian - our relationships, our money/resources, our values, self-esteem. A way through this inconjunct could be Uranus's sextile with Pallas (in Pisces) which forms a Yod pointed at the Full Moon. Pallas/Uranus - smart decisions/patterns interpreted or applied to unexpected events. This has already happened, so hopefully you have made some smart moves/plans! In Pisces, this is also about showing compassion, expressing grief, making a sacrifice, forgiving, dreaming, releasing, softening.

Ultimately this Moon will be somewhat uncomfortable because from Libra she is opposing the Moon's ruler, Venus (in Aries). 

 

Aries is not Venus's favorite place AND she is conjunct the Sun and Chiron. So, our Moon (as us) can feel out-manned here. The Libra Moon wants unity/fairness. Venus in Aries is willing to fight for what she wants. There has likely been some situation that involved some kind of challenge, struggle, argument, competition. With Chiron here - we are healing very old woundings around ANGER, what we had to do to survive, there could be a need to stand up for ourselves and take care of ourselves in a way that doesn't run the other party over or leave us with tire marks on our shirt. The Sun with Venus and Chiron at a Libra Full Moon is a HUGE relationship/partnership/open enemies story-line (starting and ending). Mars at the North Node - a turning point or movement forward. A conflict - that Mercury/Mars that is waning now - drives the last and first chapters. Our needs. Their needs. Keep in mind, our ESSENTIAL NEED to remain connected to our source - the 8's! Mercury is moving toward his/her meeting with Neptune on Monday - these are very old chapters we are re-enacting with modern twists. There could be confusion, even lies, but also connection and idealism. By the end of the first week of April, things should be much clearer. 

Bottom line - the Full Moon spotlights a CONFLICT. There are relationship (and financial) EPIPHANIES now. We have reached a fork in the road and must choose a new path. We have access to compassionate WISDOM. The path we choose (or are pushed/pulled toward) will have built in limits/responsibilities, but will be healing/balancing for OUR RELATIONSHIPS. LOVE can be re-awakened (including self-love). This Full Moon is excellent energy for RESOLVING VERY OLD BATTLE wounds.

And keep in mind all those 8's and the iChing's hexagram 8, "seeking union"  and how knowing who we are allows our energy to flow out from us in ANY direction and meet the right choices and connections! 

 

Don't forget to get out and walk in the Full Moon if you can. Her energy is very potent now whether we can see her or not.

Today's Astrology Forecast | Friday, March 26, 2021 - green light GO (remove/adjust to pebble then run with it), words now set out course

 

 

The Moon is in Virgo now - we are nourished/nurtured by organization, planning, being of service, routine, the creation of boundaries through the acquisition of knowledge and skills (being a part of something larger without losing ourselves). First, she inconjuncts the Aries Sun, then trines Uranus at 2:16PM EDT - change is good, here we are being more comfortable with the strange/unusual. She'll square Mars at 10:16PM EDT - and keep in mind, Virgo's ruler Mercury has been in square to Mars all week, so now Mars in Gemini is being hit from Pisces AND Virgo. So maybe just as the Pisces square is unwinding - that argument put to bed, feeling compassion/forgiveness - it gets re-energized through something related to Virgo (our Virgo natal house). Avoid reactivating an old argument (this might be a necessary part of a process, but maybe not) - get some exercise, take a cold shower, make something.

The BIG NEWS today and we'll talk about this more in the Full Moon post - the Sun meets Venus (Cazimi!) at 5 degrees Aries AND Mars meets the North Node at 13 degrees Gemini. 

 

And here's the crazy thing about this - last summer when Venus had her 40 days/40 night retrograde through Gemini - she met the Sun at 13 degrees on June 3rd. THAT meeting was the beginning of something and now here, as she meets the Sun again, at the Sun's superior conjunction, there is a development/conclusion/result (happening at 5 Aries) WHILE Mars is re-activating that 13 degrees Gemini where the Venus/Sun all started!! Amazing. Fated. We will talk about this more in the Full Moon post.

Taurus/Libras, especially the rising peeps, could find themselves in the spotlight. For all of us, here is a red hot spotlight on our love, values, relationships, self-esteem, beauty. With Virgo in Aries, our ability to receive love/love ourselves is made visible to us. There can be PROGRESS now with love/relationships/old anger issues/money. 

At the same time Venus is hanging with the Sun, Mars is reactivating that powerful 13 degrees Gemini (Venus Star Point from last June) - our actions moving us forward/conversation/news pulling us forward. 

 

THIS IS A BRIGHT GREEN LIGHT!

What we want for ourselves/what we are starting/maybe what we have had to fight for or fight our way toward (and this can somehow be connected to two things or two ways forward) - HERE is where movement is happening.

The fly in the ointment is today's Sun/Moon Waxing Inconjunct - the Virgo/Aries. With this weekend's Libra Full Moon approaching - here is this month's final challenge before that. The Moon puts our attention on a problem. Something needs fixing/tweaking. Some t's must be crossed and i's dotted. Maybe someone/something needs our assistance/skills. Remember we had Vesta bringing this to our attention earlier and she's retrograde, so this is probably something old that we have been avoiding/trying for too long to perfect/fix. 

 

With that bright green light GO - there is one fly in the ointment, something Virgoan, that needs to be taken care of FIRST. 

Inconjuncts are rocks and hard places that require adjustment. There is no perfect solution. This is Aries cardinal fire vs Virgo's mutable earth. Aries has no patience for the tedious details that Virgo is mired in. Virgo sees Aries as going off half-cocked/unprepared. The key is to use that practical Virgo to curb Aries impulsivity (somewhat, some impulsivity might be needed now - it's Aries season) without tossing dirt on the fire. And use Aries passion to curb Virgo's perfectionism/immersion in the pieces - without avoiding those tedious details/the problem that needs to be addressed/without scorching the earth.

This rock and hard place doesn't have to be some big thing. Here's the pebble that only leads us to the rock if we pretend we don't feel the pebble. We need to get that pebble out of our shoe!

Keep in mind the big picture message - the direction we are being pushed/pulled into now is THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

 

Venus is showing us what we want now/what we love and value now. There might be alot of financial stuff going on. A conversation/idea/information that comes in now can set our course. 

We'll talk more about this in the Full Moon post, but today is a good day for some kind of action/the stuff that comes to light to be mostly a good thing. It won't be long before the retrogrades will start and then Eclipse season - HERE is a time we are still mostly in control of what we can do, so HERE is the time to do it. 

 

It doesn't have to be some big thing, small is BIG.

(efforts later will require multiple stops and starts and sudden curveballs, why not take action now and avoid some of this stuff!)

Today's astrology forecast | Thursday, March 25, 2021 - all day void moon, a crossroads, challenged by our beliefs, sticking to the facts, nurturing the new, loving ourselves

 

 

The Moon in Leo goes void at 9:27AM EDT off an opposition to Jupiter. Our need to shine/have fun at odds with the group/group expansion/collective enthusiasm. Maybe some "me" vs "we". Expect some wonk, but challenges will tend toward "nothing comes of it" since the void Moon isn't interacting with any other bodies until tomorrow afternoon's trine to Uranus. That opposition to Jupiter will be felt though. This is a long void/all day - she doesn't get into practical Virgo until 11:26PM EDT. 

 

This is also the day Mercury, in intuitive/dreamy Pisces squares the Nodes (Gemini/Sag) at 13 degrees. This is a crossroads. A choice. 

 

A decision needs to be made, and with Mercury in foggy Pisces (and ruling the North Node) this might not be so easy. Lean into that Gemini - the facts/the local/your Gemini house theme. With Gemini, there might be more than one answer/more than one conversation/idea and with Mercury in Pisces we are using our intuition/collective intuition. We can't be in lalaland with any of this though. Facts trump hope here. Jupiter ruling the South Node (the past, where we are now) and challenging the Leo Moon today, is intending for us to feel what our Leo heart needs/wants (through the opposition). And keep in mind - and we'll talk about this in the Full Moon in Libra post next - Venus (in Aries) is moving toward the Sun - our ability to receive love/open our heart, love ourselves is spotlighted.

Hard aspects ask us to look for smoother/easier aspects as a way through -and today we have an opportunistic sextile from Mars in Gemini (12 degrees) to Ceres (in Aries). The opportunity comes through that Ceres/Aries - the nurturing of the NEW. The nurturing of the physical self. Mars in Gemini wants to move - quickly and sometimes in multiple directions at once - through action/words and this sextile is a FLASHING LIGHT pointing at our Aries house. Actions/conversations HERE are what is needed/our way through this.

With Mercury squaring the South Node we are unhooking ourselves from old beliefs/expectations. In Pisces, Mercury uses compassion/forgiveness/the soft dissolve. Whatever didn't work out, it's time to make a decision that points in a new direction. It's time for a new conversation that probably won't be totally comfortable.
