Monday morning, the Aries Moon sextiles retro Jupiter in Mercury-ruled Gemini as Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius Mercury perfects its square to Neptune in Pisces. You may not know what’s up, or you may start out with an attitude of confusion or ambivalence. But the mood is tight and expansive, and its motivation steers minds in the direction of choice and illuminating options.
If you don’t wake up with the will to chase goals or even chase life (the Capricorn Sun squares Aries Chiron through Wednesday), Monday’s Moon can help. After the Jupiter sextile, it goes on to square the Sun and conjoin Chiron. An early launch arms us with perspective and boosts the reach of our senses.
Also Monday morning, retrograde Mars moves from Sun-ruled Leo to Moon ruled Cancer. All week, retro Mars in Moon-ruled Cancer heads back into trine with Neptune in the sign of its own rulership. Fog around information fades just as we click up the impact of divine presence in intuitive action. Instincts are keen, and emotional motives are potent and valid. Protect your connections and the deeply internal bonds they signify.
Tuesday, the Aries Moon trines Mercury then squares retro Mars. The mood supports planning and exposition over direct action for the first part of the day, though making mistakes is an excellent way to speed up the planning process and rearrange elements of the objectives. The Moon then moves to Venus-ruled Taurus and a square to Aquarius Pluto as well as an eventual sextile to Pisces Venus. So the rest of the day pulls no emotional punches (deep impact, literally or figuratively), but the ones that land bloom sweetly… metaphorically speaking. It’s a day for being present, for making the most of what comes your way. Shocks can still lead to desired outcomes. Listen to your gut. Don’t cheap out on wishes. Wishes are free but valuable.
Early Wednesday, Mercury moves to Saturn-ruled Capricorn, and the earthy Taurus Moon sextiles Pisces Saturn then trines the Capricorn Sun. Take a longer view on pursuing your fortune; precision beats speed. Take the time to fully flesh out what you need in relation to what you desire. There’s a way to order things so that you work hard but enjoy the process. Learning and leveling up don’t have to hurt. Accommodate yourself.
On Thursday, the Taurus Moon conjoins retro Uranus then goes on to sextile Neptune and retro Mars, crossing the midpoint of their intensifying trine. Don’t dismiss your whims or outlandish desires, elevate them. Is this an outside whimsy or an internal shocker? Be willing to take hold of an unexpected aspiration and see if it holds up to reality testing. Nighttime takes the Moon into Mercury-ruled Gemini and a trine to Pluto. Experiment!
Friday morning’s Gemini Moon squares Venus in Pisces, and variety is the spice of life. Spicy is not everyone’s favorite, but at least you can say you tried. The Moon goes on to conjoin retro Jupiter then square Saturn. Expansion and contraction in such short order can leave a person feeling edgy. However, it does break up adhesions where we’re stuck, so we’re ready to go when the timing is right. Overnight, the Gemini Moon sextiles Chiron, so I guess we’ll figure it out as we go! There’s more than one way to fix your wagon.
