After the Moon’s trine to Mars in the 4 AM hour PST, we sail into a prototypical Sagittarius Moon day–what does that mean? That Sag energies take a pure form; with no major contact to other bodies until the 5 PM hour PST, the Moon will bring a spirit of adventure, knowledge-seeking, religious inspiration, openness, and independence to matters of the House in the natal chart it’s transiting, and to any energies in the natal chart it contacts. It will impact us in its truest form; be ready to expand your world, cut loose, explore, in some form.

5 PM PST brings a sextile to Zeus, and emotions may help bolster wants and justify ambitions. This isn’t negative, in fact it may help us connect to (and admit) what we really desire, but if we use feelings to support something that fails to recognize others’ rights and boundaries, we may get ourselves into something we didn’t really anticipate or intend. The sign Zeus is now transiting, Libra, implies that relationships, or the matters of the House(s) in the natal chart associated with Libra, are the likely outlets for this burst of ambitious desire energy. (See much more on the meaning of Zeus in the natal chart, and particularly in male/ female relationships, in the Winter issue of ‘Eclipse’ here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/eclipse-in-depth-astrology-for-the-21st-century/

By the 3 AM hour of the 8th, the Moon is conjunct Ceres, and by the following hour trines Earth and semi-sextiles Pallas, suggesting prime time for planting and harvest, both literal and figurative; you’ll make smart decisions as long as you remain in harmony with nature.
