The Moon forms a Finger of God, 2:30 AM PDT on the 12th, with a sextile to Saturn at 29 degrees and apex Neptune. This suggest something of a crisis with reality, ‘what is,’ and perhaps with rules and boundaries, but this is the moment when it is all easily resolved, by really feeling the Moon in Cancer, by placing no restirictions on what is allowed to be experienced, by not censoring the emotional palette–and then by letting it all go for a while, as the Moon enters the Void briefly, at 4:49 AM PDT.

The Moon enters Leo at 5:53 AM PDT, and immediately trines Uranus and quincunxes Chiron, bringing unique, individual skills to the fore–you may find you have the energy and courage to pursue ambitions, to go after what you really want–you may feel more clear on your goals than you have for some time. By 8 AM, though, the Moon has formed another Fingor of God, this time acting as the apex to the Chiron/ Pluto sextile. I see the Moon in this instance almost drawing from the earlier contact to Chiron and bringing that energy to contact with Pluto–and that this presents an awareness of a hurt that we are able to transform by allowing ourselves to feel and see the matter from the viewpoint of our own needs and wants (Moon in Leo). Putting ourselves central to the issue puts things in the correct perspective.

By 10:30 AM PDT the Moon moves on to trine Jupiter and perfect the quincunx with Pluto. We are in tune with the social flow, but may find that we understand social issues too well–they irritate, they spur us to change or transform–the productive among us will change something about ourselves or our attitudes, while those less conscious will think in terms of ‘society should ‘x!” An illuminating interlude, that can clue us into the possibility that we’re carrying a too-insular or too-righteous viewpoint.

Mid-afternoon PDT the Moon squares Pallas and then conjuncts Mercury, and we may find we’re speaking our minds against our better judgment! It’s a time where the wise thing just doesn’t seem as important as being heard–just take care that in speaking up you don’t speak for others–make all your statements start with “I”

By 11:30 PM PDT the Leo Moon quincunxes the Capricorn North Node and sextiles Zeus, and we may be really connecting with the way we feel about our ambitions and wants, and how well we’re moving in that direction–a good time to resolve skills and feelings, and how well we’re handling each.
