We slide into the 16th with the Moon late in Virgo; we’ve been working hard but are somehow more alert than we expected to be. By 4 AM PDT the Moon is quincunx Neptune and we find we need a break, and imagination takes over. Pay attention to what you think (or dream!) at this time, as the direction our fantasies take will be revealing of what’s swimming around below the surface of our minds–and that means there are things wanted, considered, or longed for that we may not be aware of–always a dicey situation, as they can intrude in the most inconvenient ways on our conscious decisions and Will.

By 5 AM PDT the Moon conjuncts Saturn, and we put a lid on it–and if we don’t, somebody else will. Don’t allow the stop-short quality of the energy to throw you off course; it’s just a hint from the Universe to take some time off. 🙂

6:48 AM the Moon enters the Void; a Libra Moon begins at 7:24 AM PDT. This brings an immediate opposition to Uranus and quincunx to Chiron. For West Coasters it means we start the day with something startling and potentially hurtful–but even at that it may actually hold a positive Chirotic meaning as it encourages the use of related skills and may help us in manifesting a transpersonal form of our own Chiron, likely through relationships.

12:30 PM-ish PDT the Moon  finishes a T-square with an opposition to Jupiter and square to Pluto. The heavies are suddenly in play and our emotional and intuitive faculties are sharply aware of it. The square between Jupiter and Pluto is exaggerating what we believe (Jupiter) we need to do (Cardinal signs), specifically what we need to re-generate or transform, or even destroy so that it is out of our lives forever (Pluto), and the contact from the Libra Moon shows us how this might affect relationships. We may not have seen the situation before precisely as it reveals itself to us now, and that leaves us worried about which way to go–but 4:30 PM PDT or so the Moon semi-sexitles Pallas, then 7:30 PM-ish does the same to Venus, and as the Lunar energy passes through the field of their meeting (the midpoint of their sextile) it shows us both what’s smart and what we value–so if we are patient and don’t leap to conclusions and sabotage our relationships the wise course will be revealed.

By 1:30 AM of the 17th the Moon conjuncts Zeus and enters the long-term Nodal T-square of which the asteroid has been a part. The emotional ramifications of our current choices and the path along which they lead will be clear, and we’ll adjust both ambitions and desires (Zeus) according to what we feel.
