1:30 AM PST sees Venus semi-sextile Pluto, with the Moon sesquiquadrate. What exactly are we experiencing here? There is a subterranean urge toward upheaval and change in relationship, finances, or values, and the emotions chime in with a great deal of discomfort. Are we uncomfortable because we want to make changes, because change is occurring with or without our participation, or because we know it needs to happen, but are resisting? Pluto in the mix can give us a ‘head in the sand’ attitude out of sheer fear or fatigue–it’s exhausting to transform, transform, transform! And yet, that’s the essence of life, and change we must.

The Moon squares the Sun/ Earth axis (also 1:30 AM-ish), giving us one of those stress moments that also offers insight–this reinforces the starkness of all that we may be dealing with. The effect can be harsh, exaggerating the importance or ‘down’ feeling of events and revelations, but don’t take the negative pitch of things too seriously–as we know, this too shall pass.

Both the above conditions last through early afternoon PST. Void begins at 6:43 PM PST, with the Moon entering Taurus at 7:37 PM Pacific.

The Taurus Moon may urge us to relax and zone out a bit, almost like a Pisces Moon but without the possible paranoia or losing touch with reality! No, I kid–and yet, we may indulge in whatever soothes us–and I think we might deserve it By 11:30 PM PST the Moon will be trine the North Node in Earth–and if we’re at peace with our emotional state it will be a very smooth feeling that includes a glimpse of the direction we’re headed–and some insight into where others are headed, particularly in a material sense, too.
