This morning, the Moon in
Aries creates a nice grounded trine with Saturn in Sagittarius (8:08
AM). This helps us get the week started “on point” and ready to
get down to business. At 11:20 AM, the lunar body and the mental body
come to point on the same page as the Moon sextiles Mercury in
Gemini. New information may be quite applicable in our current
affairs. Look for usefulness and application.
By 2:06 PM, the Moon is in a
startling and schedule toppling conjunction with Uranus. We started
out with good intention and on solid track. However, this conjunction
can topple that apple cart so be sure, in your plans for the day,
that you leave room for the unexpected. This can also kick start
adrenaline and/or anxiety. For that reason, I do suggest trimming
your diet of excessive stimulation. Cutting down on things like
sugar, caffeine, etc. Also, by way of brain over-stimulation. These
factors exacerbate an already “anxious” making set up. Using
Moon/Saturn to get you off to a solid and grounded dietary start is a
good idea. The next thing, as someone who watches the stars, I know
that seeing something like this come in can also kick start and
anxious feel of “waiting for the next shoe to drop.” Don't spend
all your energy on what may happen. The more harsh aspects
(conjunction, square(s), opposition) to Uranus from the Moon happens
four times a month under our Cardinal Moons. Ok? Just know this is
coming in and deal with what you have in front of you versus wringing
your hands over what might happen.
A good way to express this
energy is to rise above the immediacy of the emotion and the anxiety
in an effort to coolly assess the needed action, if any. Do something
new or unusual on purpose or engage with folks who seem to have this
natal “coolness” and “chill” about them.
The Moon is waning now. So,
emotionality is low...which is good. However, with Mars (our action,
drive and initiative) answering so astutely to the condition of the
Moon, there could be some anxious and reactive energy on a personal
level to deal with. Again, keeping the intake in terms of diet and
brain in check helps. Stones such as Lapis, tourmaline, obsidian,
pyrite and other grounding and clarifying options can help offset
some of the potential harshness with the conjunction as well. Another
thing is sticking to any kind of exercise routine you have. This
helps to dispel excess physical energy and directs it toward positive
end instead of allowing ourselves to be run over by the energy.
The Moon moves forward to sextile the
Sun at the tail end of Gemini at 3:43 PM. This allows us to talk
things out if needed plus can provide support from understanding and
trusted friends. It is quite mobile and forward moving. Collaborative
ventures that include active physical activities and friends could be
a good way to go with it. The entire day is set up for movement. So,
I do suggest making time/room for that as it will help offset the
residual angst that can build by trying to sit still in the mix of
this.
Following the sextile with the Sun, the
Moon is Void until entering Taurus at 5:53 PM. This is a welcomed and
much more leisurely shift that grounds our appreciation for the
common and everyday. We can rest and enjoy some of the fruits of our
labors at this point. The emotional body begins to settle
significantly. However, in the course of the day's physicality, it's
likely we've worked up quite an appetite. Plan a hearty and healthy
meal to end your day with maybe a few little sweet treats as reward
for holding it all together today...or not...we deserve a treat
either way.
Below the surface of today's Aries Moon
(and beyond), Venus holds an inconjunct to Jupiter in Libra and waxes
toward a sextile with Neptune in Pisces (perfects 4:26 AM tonight).
So, there is a potential for bliss percolating under this day. This
creates a Yod between the Venus/Neptune sextile with Jupiter sitting
at apex. The secret “trick” of the day may be forgoing the Marsy
energy all together and reverting to this more gentle energy brewing
below the surface. Greeting anger with compassion or grief with
understanding. Yet, while the Moon is in Aries, it may be a hard
thing to tap into. Once the Moon passes into Taurus, though, her
rulership shifts from Mars ruled to Venus ruled. I think the shift
will be quite pleasantly palpable. Jupiter, now direct, moves toward
the 14th degree of Libra whose Sabian Symbol reads as
follows: Rich landowner takes a siesta in his tropical gardens. Per
Dane Rudhyar's translation of this degree: Proper adjustment to the
rhythm of nature. Faith in the ordered scheme of things; injudicious
dependence upon others.
In chaotic times such as we are living
in right now, finding a way to keep your own candle of “faith”
lit can be a challenge. Yet, the ability to do this does come subtly
from Vesta who now resides in Leo. Faith in the Universe plus faith
in yourself to be able to handle things as they occur needs to be an
active and daily exercise worthy of our commitment. Plus, as Rudhyar
mentions “the rhythm of nature,” it sincerely helps to note how
you personally respond/perceive these energies as they come in so
that you are more aware of your personal tempo as it corresponds to
transiting energies. I often recommend “Moon diaries” that allow
a person to make a few simple notes about things that stand out to
them in accordance with the Moon's transits, position in sign and
aspects. I know that sounds like much ado about something so simple.
However, I've found the notes (even the simplest of ones) help me to
better get in tune with the daily movements of the Moon while
providing a nice simple reference for me to revert to for information
under any given Moon. All that being said, I'm not expecting a big
bunch of crazy today. I think once the Moon transitions into Taurus
things are going to feel quite a bit better. Then again, I'm a Libra
with a Pisces Moon that (after deliberate observation) has realized
Aries Moons are not my favorite kind of energy by transit. It could
be right up your alley though! So, noting how this stuff bears
personal effect does have validity. Either way, it is MONDAY and lots
of folks are averse to that to begin with especially when we start
the day with what looks like a solid and workable format that gets
blown to dust. Saturn in a mutable sign, though, calls for
flexibility in our plans...so keep that in mind and roll with it.

This morning we wake up to
the Moon's ruler jiving harmoniously with her higher vibration (Venus
sextile Neptune). The Sun's ruler, Mercury, is doing the same with
HIS higher vibration. At 5:31 AM Mercury in Gemini sextiles Uranus in
Aries. Remember the fog? Remember the conflation and distortion of
the truth? This clears up significantly within this day. So, what we
have is the mind clearing, the heart opening, a grounded emotional
affect and plenty of room to move forward on this last day of Gemini
season.
By 11:22 AM, the Moon moves
in to sextile Mars in Cancer which is ANOTHER ridiculously sweet set
up. We are able to “get into” whatever tasks lie ahead of us and
we do so under this envelopment of fluid grace and grounded
gentleness.
I'll take that ALL YEAR
LONG! For real, this is a sweet set up to have in your Solar or Lunar
return, should that be the case. I'm quite envious of our Taurus
Moons who get to linger in this for a month. And, it just keeps
getting better! The Moon next moves forward to enter this lingering
Venus/Jupiter/Neptune Yod. She passes by Jupiter by inconjunct at
4:01 PM, sextiles Neptune at 5:25 PM. The conjunction with Venus
occurs at 6:25 PM. It's all very solidly honey sweet and gratifying.
The Moon remains active
through the night. But, when we wake up tomorrow, the Sun (00:25 AM)
and Mercury (5:58 AM 6/21) will have both passed into the sign of
Cancer. The Moon meets Pluto by trine (00:26 AM) one minute past the
Sun's transition to Cancer. From here, she is Void until entering the
sign of Gemini at 6:45 PM on 6/21.
The Lunar Cycle goes out on
this blissful and gratifying note. Then, as the Sun, Moon and Mercury
shift under tomorrows long VOC Moon...we might actually feel as if
we've woken up in some form of altered reality or at the very least
become more aware of the shift. Solstice or Litha rituals are best
performed while the Moon is active.

This morning, the Moon in
Taurus is Void until late this evening (6:45 PM) when she passes into
Gemini. However, the rest of the sky keeps moving forward and fills
the Void with curdling or enlightening intuitive hits as the Sun and
Mercury meet in Cancer at 10:15 AM. It looks as if whatever comes in
will stew a bit until the Moon reactivates allowing us to put the
pieces of what wafts in as a result into more clear form.
There is a sextile to Chiron
from the Taurus Moon at 4:52 PM. My personal jury is still out
regarding calling out a Moon as Void when there is a lingering aspect
coming in from Chiron. Today would be a good day to kind of observe
how that plays out..as in, is the Moon truly Void following the the
sextile with the Sun or does it remain active until passing by
Chiron. Pretty sure the way the collective pulse feels during this
Sun/Mercury conjunction may help to assess that. We'll see.
The Sun/Mercury conjunction
occurs at 1 Cancer. The Sabian Symbol reads as follows: Sailor ready
to hoist a new flag to replace old one. Per Rudyhar, “The nascent
desire to align oneself with a larger and more significant life
trend. Compelling decision. Repolarization.” This “knowing”
that may come as a result of this Sun/Mercury conjunction could work
to alter our personal perspective in such a way that it changes the
whole ballgame. We may be ready to leave something behind only to get
a totally different feel of the situation all together. Or, we may
find the final push we need to leave a less than comfortable or
supportive situation in favor of etching it out elsewhere. Either
way, we are prompted to respond to higher call and walk forward with
that. Yet, we are certainly encouraged to not take this “knowing”
lightheartedly or to apply it haphazardly. Be sure in your decision
making and take the time you need. There is no race. There is,
however, time (and reason) to think things over fully prior to
calling out your decision. It has been a long road for me in terms of
understanding the quote, “It is not wise to act impulsively upon
insight.” I know that not everyone has this problem. But, for my
fellow ratchet brains out there...lol...who may also struggle with
such, spare yourself. Make conscious well informed decisions that pay
your future self favors instead of just burning down an entire city
block just to roast a marshmallow. K?
The Moon in Gemini makes no
major aspects until tomorrow at 4:05 PM by way of a trine with
Jupiter in LIBRA. Again, take your time if there is call for decision
even if it may look as if you are procrastinating to the outside
world. Also, if you have trusted and wise friends or colleagues and
are in need of additional input in regard to the situation, that
lunar movement is stellar for talking it out in an effort to gain
true perspective.

The Gemini Moon is free to
flit about as she will today. We can lighten up if needed. Remember
to laugh. The potential buoyancy builds as the Moon meets her airy
and jovial friend, Jupiter in Libra. They've plenty to talk about and
catch up on. This is good for light conversations with friends.
Checking in may help you bring resolution to heavier problems and
listening to what has been happening in their lives may give you a
break from what has been happening in yours. Either way, it is breezy
and supportive.
Shortly following, though,
the emotional tides rise and the dam holding back the tears can
break. Talking it out could cause an emotional purge. We may have
suddenly feel as if we've heard and socialized enough and are ready
to retreat. The Moon squares Neptune in Pisces at 5:19 PM. This is
also good energy for a nap, a cleansing cry, putting your emotions
into words and grievances into the open air gently and empathically
but likely drenched in watery feels.
The Moon remains active
through the night. And, it is likely a quiet night as the Moon
lingers in square to Neptune and moves toward a harsh opposition with
Saturn in the morning. Keep flushing out/cleansing your system and
your physical environment in an effort to make room for the fresh and
new energy coming in with our New Moon in Cancer. I know...it's grown
dusty, tired and musty. We are almost through...keep sweeping.

This morning, the Gemini
Moon is sober and perhaps a little dour. She opposes Saturn in
Sagittarius at 8:32 AM. This is the mark of the mature student whose
subject matter can relay seriousness and focus. It's good energy to
take a moment and attempt to organize your day or take care of
outstanding business. It's just not the “jump up and down” kind
of joyful feeling. It's very real. Very solid. Calling us toward
maturity in our social interactions, current lessons and our ability
to express our emotions.
Things do lighten a bit as
the Moon leaves Saturn and enters into a sextile with Uranus at 2:46
PM. We are ready to cast of the shackles of Saturn in an effort to
move about more freely. Taking care of business in the earlier part
of the day and focusing on the tasks you must complete boosts this
Uranus aspect. Take care of that and the Moon revels in your ability
to stay on task and follow through independently. Then, we can
lighten up and become more freely mobile.
From here the Moon is Void
until entering Cancer at 6:08 PM. There is also an ouchy square with
Chiron that comes in to remind of our stubbed toes at 4:18 PM. And,
yet, we are on our way to finishing this cycle and turning over a new
page in our Moon cycle. The New Moon in Cancer perfects at 10:32 PM
under the following symbols:
For the Sun and Moon at 3 Cancer:
An Arctic explorer leads a reindeer through icy canyons. In
this mixture, who is more astute in wandering icy canyons? The
explorer? Or the reindeer? In truth, the two probably work together.
One relying on intuition and instinct (reindeer). The other relying
on logic and experience (explorer). It is the blending of the two
that are imperative here. Neither should be discounted as each has
their unique values, talents and skills. It is learning to heed both
that is the trick. This may be new territory. But you have tools,
experience and assistance to turn to if needed. Trust yourself in all
ways. Work together by monopolizing upon the strengths of each
individual involved.
Light a candle. Say a
prayer. Set your intentions. Draw down the darkness of the Moon and
prepare to start scripting this new chapter.
In the background of this
day, Venus waxes into an alluring, seductive and rich trine with
Pluto in Capricorn. There is tremendous power of attraction and
manifestation in that. This aspect perfects at 4:56 AM. Let your
heart lead the way in your intentions and know that whatever it is
you yearn for can be attracted into your life by way of your power of
intent and focus. Plant your seed in this rich and fertile ground.
