Friday night, the soulful Cancer Moon quincunxes Venus and Mercury in Aquarius and moves into and through a conjunction with retro Jupiter. Overnight, it squares Aries Chiron.

The mood is dependent on the effort and care you put into spin. It can go very well or very poorly. It’s the “very” that shaves or amasses the points. When things relax by night, the true, PHYSICAL state of affairs is evident. So be emotionally aware and active with your stress reduction and emotional indulgence. If you overdid things, hydrate, stretch, and maybe take a Tylenol or muscle relaxer. Physical pain can interact with emotional pain in ways that exacerbate both. A nice cold or hot wash rag on your face goes a long way.

Saturday night, the Moon finishes up in Cancer with a trine to Saturn in Pisces. With Pisces ruler Neptune now in Marsy Aries, copium is right out in the open and visibly physical. If you’re getting in the flow, currently, which you’re likely to be, finding your group is part of the vibe. Saturday night is the perfect time to test the waters, because the waters are FINE.

The Moon goes into Leo and trines Neptune as well. It then opposes Pluto in Aquarius — all this as the Moon heads toward fullness. Eyes, ears, and senses open, literally and metaphorically, this shift from emotion and control and water into heat and agency and play… well, it’s heady. It’s intense, but not to the extent that it’s unpleasant. Attune to the collective deep breath of air, and let it fire you up. Let it burn up the doubt and fuel the dramatic mood of the personal meeting the collective on sacred ground. Does it feel like a showdown? It may, but that may also hit the spot.

Sunday morning, the Leo Moon opposes Aquarius Mars. It’s buzzy. It’s our stories appearing in real life before us in physical form, then dispersing and recoalescing into something else. Informative, inspiring, puzzling — in a good way? Look for the seeds of what drives your inner fire. Identify them there, but don’t get too settled in the process.

By afternoon, the Leo Moon opposes Vesta and the Sun, the full moon. The Moon also quincunxes Juno in Capricorn which is moving into opposition with retro Jupiter in Cancer. Natural rivalries are pulled into this full moon drama. We see the personal writ large, passionately so. There’s “nothing new under the sun”, but it all feels very personal and at the same time it’s shared and a bit out of reach at times. Can we let go of petty dramas? Can we comfort others with our feeling of joint understanding? Or will we punish others for either not being like us — or for being too much like us? Rivalries are getting old. Maybe it’s time to let them be something else, OR to drive us toward something better.

Evening takes the Leo Moon into opposition with Venus in Aquarius, exact overnight. Something better is in the wind. Breath it in and let it feed your warmth, your creativity, your fire. It’s DELICIOUS. It’s different and that looks and feels GOOD. If it feels threatening, give yourself time and space to process. Let the process inspire your playful generosity of spirit.

The full moon takes place Sunday afternoon at 13 degrees Leo. Where does that hit your chart? Do you have any weekend plans?

My kid Emme (Nem) appears on the blog often through the pics and drawings I use. Today they had a successful four hour surgery with a long recovery period expected. If you feel it, please pause for a moment and send them some healing love in whatever way you do that. I appreciate you all. LOVE to you.
